Greeted with a smile and warm welcome by Todd, the owner, whose personable style set the tone for our experience. The staff reflected the owner's style, warm, confident and conscientious. The food met the standards set by the owner and staff. A clean operation, allowing for dining in a pleasant atmosphere, indoors and out. On every level, a cut above your standard family/dog friendly vacation seafood operation. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wow! Fresh seafood galore! Clean! Spacious and priced right. Walk up to the counter and order. Great service, great food. Get there early to place packs! Super clean. Get your oil changed in - they fry clean and good! read more

Moby Dick's is a great spot for family seafood dinners with ample seating both inside and out. Sometimes, there can be a long wait, but that reflects their popularity. Their lobster dinners are always decent, and they offer a nice option to include clams and corn as a boil. One of our lobster dinners included a tail full of eggs, which the waitress was quick to bring back to the kitchen to be cleaned. The lobster roll is just okay here, if comparing to other restaurants on the Cape. We did also have someone in our group order the fish sandwich, which was a relatively small portion. Our favorite dish was the mussels in white wine, which is outstanding. The broth it comes in is absolutely delicious, and needs extra bread to soak it all up! read more

I had the broiled codfish sandwich. The fish was really good but the bun could not hold up to the juice from the fish. I ended up eating the fish and the bread separately. The fish was really juicy and tender. I liked it a lot. The French fries were good but needed some salt. After I added salt they were really good. The service was good. They kept my water glass full. They were very nice. I did think that it was priced pretty high for the type of fish and the amount of fish I got. read more

I've been coming to the cape my whole life and had never experienced Moby Dicks, but was pleasantly surprised! Just like most seafood shacks down the cape you wait in line to outside to order at the counter, then chose where you want to sit. This is a BYOB establishment also which I found to be really cool. The menu had some really great items, but I opted for the 1.5lb lobster at MKT price. So good and had lots of meat! My friends enjoyed their picks as well! We got a half dozen oysters and you could just tell how fresh they were! Service was pleasant, the staff were all really friendly! Give it a try! read more

We would probably give a 4.5 if we had the option. Were told the shrimp were fresh then later told they come from the Gulf of Mexico. We found the process to get inside the restaurant to order a very rigid system for ordering . Stand here. Wait here. Now enter but stand here. Like Disney world Moving you from one location to the next. Then when you order. What's your name? Where will you sit? Did love the open air indoor outdoor seating. Very casual atmosphere in contrast to the rigidness of the system to order. Like the byob and the fact they provide the ice bucket for wine bottles. Do not recommend the lobster bisque due to the fact we found very little if any pieces of lobster although that maybe the reason the bowl Is only 11$ read more

My expectations were exceeded! The hype around Moby Dick's is real. The greeter and our server were very friendly, and our food was brought out incredibly quickly (~5-10 min after ordering). I'm so impressed with the food- we all got codfish, all broiled/ fried beautifully. The fry on the fish and chips is the most delicate/light I've ever seen, not crispy though if that's your thing. The bacon blue salad was SO good, a perfect appetizer for 3 people. Portions are huge but light. My one critique is that the fries were slightly understated and a bit inconsistent (crunchy vs soggy) but that's not an issue for me, and that the bun on my sandwich got soggy quickly (probably because of my lemon and the fish juices). 100% will return the next time I'm on the cape! read more

We were greeted with a smile and a menu while in line. It's BYOB and they provide wine glasses or ice if needed. Super friendly and accommodating. You must order before you can select your seating as courtesy for other patrons. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The owner comes around to chat and answer any questions you may have about the menu. We ordered shrimp cocktail for starters. Jumbo lobster roll and cheeseburger. They were very accommodating for folks with seafood allergies. Everything was delicious while also being served quickly. We brought our beverages of choice and they provided the ice. Very clean restaurant as well. And adequate parking. We will return. read more

We were looking for an authentic NewEngland seafood meal while on Cape Cod and Moby Dick's did not disappoint! The cod fish & chips were excellent! The cod was flaky and the breading light. The cole slaw was cream and perfectly seasoned! Even though we ordered at the counter, the staff was attentive and checked on us frequently. Even the owner stopped by to see how our meal was. She even stepped outside when we were leaving to ask how everything was and to wish us well. Highly recommend! read more

They are opened for the season! My hubby and I stopped by for a late lunch and were not disappointed! I had the fried scallop roll with cheese and bacon that was delicious. Scallops were not breaded, mozzarella cheese and large pieces of bacon on a soft sub roll served with a large amount of fries. Husband had the garlic and butter mussels; came with soft Italian bread for dipping. Mussels were on the large side and really good. Definitely will be back when we are in the neighborhood. read more

An older couple asked us to take a picture of them at a lighthouse on Cape Cod. Then when we had a brief conversation with them, they told us about this place and said it is the best restaurant on Cape Cod. That is debatable, but we thought we'd give it a try after exploring the coastal area around Princeville. The process is unique. You go inside to peruse the menu, order, pay and then select a seating area. We chose to sit inside in a quiet area of the restaurant. Fairly quickly a server brought out the oysters we had ordered. They were quite good. Shortly after that our main course was brought out. We both ordered the jumbo lobster rolls with coke slaw and fries. We also ordered a side of broccoli to get some vegetables into our meal. The food was quite good. The lobster in the roll was very plentiful. We met the owner Todd, who appreciated our compliments about his restaurant. It is obvious that he keeps a close eye on everything going on in his place. For a quick reference from an older couple, we ended up with a terrific experience. read more

As a former Massachusetts resident who now lives in Texas, there's a lot of things that I really miss. One of those things is fried Clams, the whole clam (minus the shell of course). For me, this place was one of the best ever for fried clams. I wish that I was staying longer on The Cape because their menu is freaking amazing. It's a really cool place to get your seafood fix. For one thing, they really have their act together with a great staff, skilled, attentive management including the owner watching every aspect of the operation. When you go there, don't be put off by the line, it moves quickly. You can also bring your own libations. Anyway, the four adults enjoyed our fried clams and the young member of our crew had two hot dogs that he devoured. I hope that we can return again. read more

Yum! Yum! Yum! Moby's clams are fabulous! All staff is very helpful and friendly. The place is always kept. Wry clean. Only thing I'd suggest is eliminate the long tables and benches inside. Seldom do people want to sit with other families at a table and the benches make it hard for customers get in and out of tables (especially if you are older) read more

Super clean, friendly, and excellent food presented well. Possibly over attentive service from the English language learners, but I was more charmed by it than put off. read more

Busy during the summer season, expect long lines. They are efficient at moving the queue along, and taking payment before you get your food. The food is typical simple, seafood dishes you would expect on Cape Cod. Unfortunately, when it's busy, the food is not necessarily delivered hot because of the delay from the kitchen to getting table delivery. The restaurant is popular for decades, and in season they have an assistant out in the parking lot directing traffic. read more

This place was great! Lil bit of a line and then it was a bit odd because you order at the counter. I had the blackened swordfish, and it was amazing! Everyone in my party was very pleased with their entrees as well as their starters. My friends raved about the oysters and lobster bisque. The staff were attentive and courteous. They're known to have people from all over the world, which is a nice touch. The atmosphere was also nice, and casual. It felt like quintessential Cape Cod. read more

Excellent staff, polite and VERY attentive, the training program here yielding tangible results. Interesting decor where ever you look, great little gift shop next door that is part of the restaurant. Bring your own, Moby's will provide ice bucks which is a step above. Fair food prices on freshest seafood. Had the fried scallop plate, was so good we came back a few days later, no need to hunt down another restaurant. If you love horseradish then make sure to ask for some and mix into your ketchup to make your own level of spicy cocktail sauce. Owner came over to check on us which was nice, family owned. Over all recommended. Dogs welcome it seems. read more

Came here with a group of 5 for dinner. I am happy to report that it's BYOB here. They even provided a nice bucket with ice to keep our drinks nice and cool while we waited. A hostess will ask if you want to sit outside or inside based on availability and your party size. Once you are inside you order and pay at the counter. They bring food out to your table. We ordered clam chowders, fish and chips, and oysters. The oysters were delicious! Clam chowder and fish and chips were okay. We really enjoyed our time and meal here. It was no frills, but perfect for larger groups and families. There were many tables outside and indoors they had long tables with benches. read more

Very interesting way of servicing customers. You arrive and you order and pay, then get seated and have your food brought to you. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was good but could have used some seasoning. Fried Oysters were great. The crab cake was for sure one of the best ones i have tried. Portions were large and filling.

Alright, man, check it out! So, we cruised into this joint, right? It's like 5:30, and the line is so long, it's spilling out onto the street, man! But hey, we ain't worried, 'cause we called ahead, and they said it'd only be, like, 20-25 minutes. And guess what? Their estimate was, like, right on the money, man! Now, this place is different, you dig? After you wait in line, the next move is to order and pay up front. Then, they get on their little walkie talkies, talking to people in other rooms, trying to find you a table. It's like they're secret agents or something, man! And when your grub is ready, they bring it straight to you. Talk about efficiency, dude! But hey, don't think they don't have wait staff, 'cause they do! There are several cats in there making sure your every need is taken care of while you chow down. They got your back, man! And here's the kicker, dude! It's BYOB, man! Bring your own beer or wine, and you're good to go. I can drink premium craft beer that most restaurants don't even know exists. They even hook you up with a bucket, ice, and cups for your drinks. It's like a party in your mouth, man! So, I was jonesin' for some righteous oysters, you know? And what better place than Wellfleet for some Wellfleet oysters, man? That was my starter--12 of those little suckers. Then, I went for some littleneck clams and mussels with the Nantucket Steamer bucket. And to round out my epic feast, I ordered some grilled scallops, man! It was all outta sight, brother! Those oysters were, like, the best I've ever had, and believe me, I've had my fair share. The clams and mussels came in this huge bucket, and the scallops were like a main course all by themselves. They were all so incredibly delicious, man! Now, here's the buzzkill, man. They don't have much for the non-seafood eaters, you know? I mean, my old lady, she ain't into seafood, and all they had for her were these over-charred burgers and frozen chicken fingers. It just didn't cut it, you know what I'm saying? She wasn't a happy camper. But hey, for a seafood joint, this place was totally awesome, man! It's like swimming in a sea of flavor, dude! read more

As a 15 year customer who even has pics on the board and Merch I am sad to write this review. Moby dicks has always been a great part of our cape cod visits and we plan at least two dinners there. we ate there July 1 and 3. I know seafood costs are up but the fried combo wa platters were really expensive and light on seafood especially whole belly clams that were strips and our two platters had different amounts of different seafood. The fries were soggy and we were not able to have the tables we wanted both times. The second visit I asked for shrimp only skewer but told they couldnt and corn cobs were overdone. The shrimp with steak looked like there were from a diner. servers werent as friendly/helpful either. Highly recommend Mac Seafood outside of Provincetown for the value, quality and atmosphere.- Michelle from CT read more

Always great food, great employees and the owner is attentive to the customers. We had pesto oysters and they were great! Grill seafood is cooked perfectly and steamers and Lobster were perfect. It's nice that they have baked potatoes, corn on the cob and asparagus (other sides also) which is such a nice change from many seafood heavy restaurants where you can only get rice or fries. One of our favorite restaurants. Inside and outside dining and a great gift shop as well with fair prices. read more

Moby Dick's is a Wellfleet institution. Like most places on the Cape, you place your order at the counter and are then seated, either inside or outside. The clams were nicely fried. My photo shows a double serving of cole slaw; it actually comes with fries. The staff comes from all over the world. Their name tags not only show their names but also the town and country they're from. One person was nicer than the next. During the busy season, there is a line to get in, but it moves fairly quickly. read more

I have been going to this place for years. I was surprised at the the ease in getting the table for four on a Saturday night in July. Our table was at the far end of the building. With the bright Sun It was almost impossible to see the people sitting across from me. Fortunately I had Sunglasses with me. Still extremely difficult with to see. They had shades down on all but two windows but unfortunately they did not have shades for the windows affecting our table. I have had Clam chowder many times. I order it tonight and it was more like Clam broth without any Clams. It was vet good at one time but they seemed to have lost the recipe. The Swordfish was about a thick as a slice of bread. All in all it was a very disappointing experience. read more

The best restaurant I have ever been to. My family comes to cape cod every year for two weeks and last year I think we literally went here every night. So like 14 days strait. It's also not just the food, although it's delicious, the vibe of this place is of the carts! You really can't find a corner of this place that is not decorated with cape cod related stuff. Lastly, the service here is amazing! Everyone is so nice and just makes you feel so special. I would very highly recommend this absolutely amazing restaurant to everyone. If you are up in cape cod you should absolutely come here at least once! read more

This has to be one of the weirdest dining experiences ever. First you order and pay at a counter when you walk in then they ask where you want to sit, we opted for the "more intimate" area. Lol I guess when elevator music is playing it's considered intimate even with paper plates, plastic forks and cups. The servers (with their fake English accents) would not stop coming up to our table to ask if we needed anything, and we would say we are just waiting for our dinner, one even came up and asked if we were ready for dessert before we had even been given our lobster! And speaking of lobster, save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Food was fresh, well prepared. Ordering system took a second to figure out. Picnic tables/3 and 4 tops. Hard to know about tipping as no specific server. But they share equally. Great experience read more
