Food was fresh, no frills. What you would expect on the cape-fried or baked. Was not disappointed. We went during peak dinner time and what impress me was how the line was being managed. Having 3 young children under 6 it made for a very positve experience. Dont forget to pack a small cooler with some wine or beer. They don't serve alcohol. read more

30 years in business and they have it down pat...open from April to September, they hire some wait staff from a school in england that requires related work to,their program...you add your tip on the table ...lots of help...get your own water and condiments..all the directions are posted when you go in...why some diners complain is silly... Food is excellent ..I had crab cakes,,,,very good. Others has the sea food kabobs, fish and chips and broiled fish...great gift shop for "cape" things..plus a great mug I use for my oatmeal cereal..a pleasant spot...no matter when you go...there is usually a line...so don't fuspounding is paper plates...easy to clean up...and not too heavy.Also have an on line store... ...mobyscargo.com read more

This place is great!! My family of five and there friends have been coming here every July for years and we all love it! on my way there now for the 4th time on my way off the Cape! Really is great!!! read more

This was our most expensive and most disappointing meal of our trip. The clam chowder was thin and far more potato to clam. The lobster rolls were fresher and tastier at PJs and Arnold's. Our one vegetarian in the group had one choice -- a lunch taco of greens, shredded cheese and rotten avocado that needed to be sent back to the kitchen. Even the rice pilaf side was bland. Add to this a waitstaff who seem eager for the summer to be over, and it created an uninspired dining experience. read more

Absolutely fantastic! Great food, great service - all around a wonderful experience. Highly recommend the seafood special! Yum!

We can't say enough about this place. The food from the kids meals to the chowder to the scallop dinner was delicious. It was all piping hot and fresh, served after a very short wait. The staff was outstanding!! Everyone was friendly and attentive. Everyone had a smile and a kind word! We will definitely be back! read more

This is the high point of our cape cod week every year. Lines can look intimidating but they move fast.Never more then ten minutes. Bring your beverage and save a ton. In sixty years of going to The Cape and Maine I've Never had better steamed clams and mussels. I swear he has a secret source. Which by the way you will see the extremely warm and hard working owner out there busting his tail every night. A Cape Cod Must. read more

Wonderful recommendation. Very friendly service. And the food was delicious. Clam bake style was a hit with everyone.

Had lunch with the family on the way to province town. Place is nice the food is ok, average and a bit pricey

We were 4 people at 8:30 on a Sunday night and there was no wait. The no frills BYOB dining was great. The food was fresh and the service was good. If you want a non-fried seafood shack then you should go here for some steamers or some such variety. The Seafood Gumbo was delicious. This is not gourmet eats in a fine dining atmosphere. Be prepared to sit at outdoor tables in a screened in dining room. Be prepared to get wet naps with your meal. Enjoy the seafood and remember you are at the beach! read more

Like many well-established restaurants on the Cape, Moby Dick's has been a huge draw for my family over the years. I used to get the chicken finger platter with corn on the cob and cole slaw on the side, but now I am an adult and have to watch what I eat, so when we returned this summer, I knew that I had to change. There are always lovely foreign waitresses. This year we were met at the counter by a nice girl from Grimsby, England. My parents both had the gumbo to start. I think my father dreams about Moby Dick's gumbo. As we crossed the Bourne Bridge, he made a comment about it, so I knew he had high expectations. Having spent 3 summers away from the Cape, I worried he'd be disappointed, but he wasn't. They loved the gumbo, just as always. For lunch, I had the grilled chicken platter with corn on the cob and steamed broccoli. The chicken was tender and nicely-grilled and came with lemons to squeeze on top. The corn was pre-buttered, which my taste-buds loved, but my waistline didn't like as much. In all - yum. I didn't even miss my old fried chicken fingers. My father had the lobster roll. Sometimes he is disappointed, but not at Moby Dick's. He said that the lobster roll had huge chunks of lobster, no filler, and had just the right amount of mayonnaise - not too little, not too much. My mother also enjoyed her salmon salad. She was pleased to find that the salmon was barbecued. My only gripe with Moby Dick's is that it isn't cheap. $70something for lunch is a lot, especially at a place like Moby's, which isn't a fancy restaurant. I would also recommend showing up for lunch and dinner either early or late, as it gets really crowded with lines winding around the building during peak hours. read more

Excellent NE shack food. A bit on the pricey side for a shack. But loved it! Thanks for throwing in the shooters for my bad! (ordered the bucket by mistake) read more

Fun spot and looked great for groups. Wait in line to order at register and once order is placed they seat you at a table and being your food over when it's ready. BYOB which we noticed some others did! Staff was incredibly friendly while we waited in line to be seated. They even came around either watermelon to try. The line moved quick. When the food came out it was great!! We had a scallop plate, a lobster roll, oysters, clam chowder, and a Caesar salad with scallops. I heard great things about all of the food but I only had one oyster, the chowder and salad with scallops. I loved all of them. We hope to come back and bring beer and some friends next time. read more

Good place to eat. Enjoyed it. Pretty standard. Had the fish and chips which was delicious. Kids chicken nuggets were over cooked. Scallop sandwich was delicious. read more

Their online ordering system is a joke. The online system rejected without providing a reason and their phone is either off the hook or not in service. Tried calling several time over the course of 20 minutes. Horrible customer service and workflow where they charge your card only to reject it for an unknown reason! If you can't accept the order then don't charge the card up front! read more

Disappointing when you have been frequenting the same restaurant year after year for almost 40 years and you let the manager know there is a problem with the food and you get attitude vs appreciation for letting them know of an issue. The Manager advised they have been open for only 37 years when I advised I had been frequenting the establishment for over 40 years.... that's when I chose to walk away. Bottom line... Having to send back two different plates of food, one being cold, the other over cooked and then getting the second round of food with the fish dish still over cooked is disappointing. Not sure why Mgmt wouldn't be grateful for the constructive feedback from a long time patron vs letting me know my 40 + year time line was incorrect. I expected more from this establishment. read more

Absolutely amazing! The line was long but the wait was quick! You order everything before sitting down and the service was outstanding. It is also BYOB so we brought our own beer which actually cuts the cost down from having to spend 3-4 a beer. Everyone got lobster except for me. I chose the crab cakes and they were the best I had all week! You need to check this place out! read more

Just ate here after having a snack at Mac's on the pier. BYOB - we didn't find out about this until we got here Wait can be a little long but line moves fairly fast. Fast and friendly service. NE clam chowder was pretty good. Calamari was OK - some pieces were soggy. Steamers were excellent. Corn excellent. And of course, the main star, the Lobster was really good Highly recommend. read more

When it comes to fried seafood, nothing is worse than all breading and no meat. Thank God Moby Dick's has figured it out with the lightest, most delicious layer of breading highlighting the freshest of seafood. We were immediately greeted by the friendliest staff. They happily gave detailed recommendations on their best dishes (fried scallops!). Honestly, superb seafood, great atmosphere, friendliest people. Don't forget to BYOB!! read more

I love moby dicks. One of my top spots to come eat. The little neck clams are to die for. Their swordfish was also delicious. Perfect cut. Not too much seasoning. Really tender. read more

The burger was the best we have had around. The key lime pie is terrific! Kids enjoyed the calamari, lots of tentacles for fun. Grilled cheese was a hit. Hard to please 3 kids from one restaurant, and Moby did just that. Thank you for a delicious meal. read more

Looks like a standard tourist trap on the outside, but inside it's well run and has a nice beachside feel to it. Place your order at the front, BYOB, take a seat and wait for some killer fruits of the sea. They've got some of the best steamers Ive ever had, definitely purged well with no grit left in the belly. Sweet as can be, oysters were superb as well and tasted right out of the ocean. Owner came out to check on us, bring anything else we needed, and chat a bit. Really friendly guy, and a really well run restaurant. Next time I hanker for steamers, this is the place. read more

Great lobster roll and scallops. Don't be put off by the appearance of a long line it's down to the system which works well. You line up to pay and then sit down. BYOB and often they write your total on the credit card slip so you can only tip the water staff. Great experience, great food nice staff, the owner really cares and works hard with the staff. read more

Best place that we ate our whole Cape Cod journey (possibly my life). It was amazing and fresh. The staff was so kind and helpful. The joint was so clean and picturesque. Amazing vibes. I would go out of my way to go back. I had the lobster bisque and it was the best I've ever had in my entire life. I also had a jumbo crab cake!! Words cannot describe how satisfied I am. The owner was so kind and even helped us with Cape Cod scenic routes to take and advice on where to go. I wish I could rate this place higher. It was PERFECT. read more

Moby Dick's - The best crab cake and lobster bisque of MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!! I'll be dreaming about this place forever. - Seafood Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

Ate here last month on our trip to upper Cape. Food was average at best. I had the grilled scallops which had no flavor. Prices were average for fried seafood and fries. The place was packed so Service was nothing special. We were there in the area for 4 days and did not go back. After reading rave reviews this was really disappointing. read more

Always delicious!! Moby Dick's has a huge menu, fun family atmosphere, and very attentive wait staff. We love dining here every fall. Dinner platters are huge, but the dessert menu is equally yummy, so save room. read more

Excellent specials and high quality seafood (we got a lobster special). They had started a combo deal the day we came and for the price it was worthwhile as far as a special occasion on vacation. But the most impressive part is the attention to detail and customer satisfaction they have; they clearly want the people who order there to leave satisfied, down to having conversations with people that make them feel welcome. Add a nice Cape Cod centered design and it is a solid establishment. read more

Omg.. so much fun in the summer... amazing oysters and lobster rolls.. love the atmosphere!!!

Went for dinner. Food was fast not a long wait. Felt like one of the waitresses could have been nicer.

My wife and I usually end up eating at least 2-3 meals here every summer when we stay for a week in Truro. She loves to explore different items on the menu and has never been disappointed. I'm not a seafood eater but I absolutely love the chicken sandwich! We find this place to be our favorite quick meal on the cape that has enough quality options to please a party with both seafood and non-seafood eaters. Staff is very friendly, ambiance is casual and relaxing. It's usually our first meal of vacation and always a great way to start the week! Cargo shop next door is worth a visit. We've gotten some great nautical themed decor for our home! read more

Went to Moby Dick's on our way back from provincetown to Dennis. The hostess presented us with the menu and our orders were taken momentarily. We ordered two 1.5lb lobsters, fish&chips and shrimps. We got our drinks right away, with refills. It was actually the first time I ate a lobster, the waiters asked if we know how to manage with it and then explained and showed in detail how to eat it correctly. All servings were super delicious. The service was also amazing. Highly recommended if you visit the area even if a small detour is required. read more

We've been to Cape Cod twice and the first time, we stumbled upon Moby Dick's. We liked it so much, we made sure to come back when we re-visted Cape Cod. The food is tremendous, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is very unique and interesting. It's also a beautiful location with excellent views. I can't recommend this restaurant enough! read more

This restaurant was a little disappointing. The lobster was very good, and the service was friendly and fast, however the steamers were Sandy and the fried seafood wasn't very good. There were rules on social distancing, and the employees wear masks. Probably would not go back. read more

The owner of Moby Dick's is AWESOME. I have been going their since I was little with my family and our friends and every time he is working that night he makes sure to come over and say hi. A lot of the staff is from other countries (especially european countries) and their name tags say where they are from. They are all really great. The food is classic american seafood and its always good. The only problem is that the line is always VERY long but nobody seems to mind because it is just such a great place. LOVE IT! read more

Takeout was delicious! Best we've had in a long time. Food cooked just right. Order was ready right on time and I appreciated that attention was paid in ensuring everything such as condiments was included in our order. Looking forward to going back and doing a dine in when it's not so busy. Had seared scallops and shrimp, corn and baked potato. My gal had fish and chips and it was cook perfect and the portion was right sized. read more

Went for lunch on a beautiful day and sat upstairs with the windows open and a great breeze! Good music in the background. Good view to see the all of the greenery out the back window. Staff are all very polite and and helpful. Cool theme to celebrate diversity and have the country of origin right on the name tag. I had the Moby Burger, which was amazing!!!! We also ordered salads, crab cake sandwich, clam chowder and veggie burger. All the food was great. Great place to go with kids. Casual atmosphere. read more

Be prepared to wait - they can't seem to handle the take out orders, walk up orders and people dining in. My daughter did say best fish and chips in wellfleet otherwise the food was very average. read more
