Ordered a bowl of the clam chowder, half dozen oysters, 1 lb clams, 1 lb mussels, and fish + chips. The clam chowder was light and not heavy like traditional cream forward soups. There were tiny bits of clam and cubed potatoes scattered through out. The clams were large, plump, and sweet- a bit sandy but otherwise very nice. The oysters ... bomb. The mussels were massive! - Super tender. The fish (cod) and chips came with a side order of slaw. The fish was flakey and buttery. read more

Take-out review: Whole belly fried clams (no sides) and 3 crabcakes. Clams came with fried strip pieces and small bellies on the ones we got. Clams in general arent the same fat bellied thin neck ones wherever you go. Has more to do with current harvesting than the restaurants. Seems like the necks get thicker and the bellies have shrunk. Cooked right, they dont make their own tartar it seems. The CRABCAKES are the star of the show here. The local catch taste is obvious and they put a good ratio of crab to stuffing, giving you nice big hits of tender tasty Cape crab. Save the remoulade sauce for the fries, they dont need it. read more

Review #317 On the left side of street while diving down the cape. Right side if you are coming from Provincetown and Truro. Located in Wellfleet. We came here at almost 1pm and there was lots of parking which was great! Seafood galore! Order at the counter and the food will be brought out to you. I ordered the fried clams, they were huge and so good! They also have fish tacos, burgers salads, chicken dishes etc. Gluten free options. Very large dessert menu. Great for families, couples, groups, anyone. Super delish if you're looking for New England flavor! read more

Stopped here on the advice of a friend and what a great place ! Lobster roll was best we've had on cape - lobster was so fresh tasted like it was just taken out of the shell. Kids meals were great and and servers and staff were so friendly. Definitely will be back ! read more

Phenomenal experience. Employees are incredible and really care about the customers. It makes the experience so much better when the staff are happy to be there. Food is literally 10/10. I could not recommend more! read more

Moby Dick's - Wellfleet oysters and crab cakes - Seafood Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

Was tired of lobster roll and ordered something different. Glad I did. Broiled shrimp and scallop skewers were excellent. My friend enjoyed her broiled cod. The juicy corn deserves a mention. Too often you get a half piece of frozen corn with a seafood meal. This corn was fresh, juicy and tender. Was also happy about the baked potato when usually stuck with fries or chips. The prices were more than reasonable. The interior beachy and adorable. We made use if the picnic tables, though, as we had canine companions. Cute gift shop nextdoor too. read more

Moby Dick's is always a fun experience. I'm not a major lobster lover, but I enjoy watching my family battle the lobsters each time we visit! For me, what I think is great about Moby Dick's is the fun atmosphere and the boots on the ground owners! Migs came by to be sure we had what we needed and continued to chat with us! Having a family owned restaurant where the owners are involved and present always makes for a great experience! read more

The last several years we have included Moby Dicks in our yearly trip to the cape. This year did not disappoint. Ordered one of the lunch specials scalloped sandwich with bacon and jack cheese was fantastic. One member of our party felt that her muscles were a little large and slightly tough. But enjoyed them for the most part. Staff is always friendly. Food is always served hot. Beverages include refill. Place your order and find your seat and they will bring your food to you. They have indoor seating, a screened in style deck, and also outdoor seating. read more

Moby Dick's - Seafood Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

Moby Dick's Restaurant A lovely "lobster shack" on route 6 in Wellfleet Ma. Operating their 39th season this year, Moby Dick's is the perfect spot for some oysters on the half shell, Lobster rolls and more! The owner Todd is so welcoming, not to mention humble! They also have a beautiful gift shop called Moby's Cargo. This gift shop features gorgeous wooden gifts, jewelry and more. I highly recommend a stop at Moby Dick's Restaurant during your visit! read more

Some of the best seafood on the cape. No frills, but none needed. You really can't go wrong. Fresh, well prepared, delicious. Super friendly staff and great service. I would suggest getting there early or late, as they do not take reservations and the line gets LONG. You can expect to wait on the weekends especially. Don't think twice though. Go! read more

We stopped in for dinner at Moby dicks during our week in Provincetown. We traveled down to Wellfleet specifically to try it. You order your food first and then head to find a table. It was a little disconcerting as the lovely hostess had a British accent that made it bc a little difficult to understand her instructions as to how they worked. I expected to sit down first and peruse the menu like most other sit down restaurants. We ordered and sat, they brought our drinks and then food. I ordered the scallops and was very disappointed. I got a plastic plate with a bunch of cold French fries and 8 small, rubbery overcooked scallops. It was absolutely NOT a $37 plate of seafood. Service was fast and friendly, the food just wasn't up to par. read more

Stopped here on our way home from a day trip. Service is excellent and the staff is friendly. The food was delicious. The fish and chips were light and fresh. The linguine dish was well seasoned. Portions were good sized; we left full. Owner was on site and very personable. The prices are in line with what you'd expect for a more casual seafood dining place on the Cape, and honestly, the food is better than a lot of the other places in this price bracket. No alcohol but you can BYO. We will definitely return. read more

Service was great but their prices are outrageous. $24 dollars for a half a filet of fish and chips is ridiculous.

Been trying to find good seafood in Massachusetts, and this is a great spot! Clam chowder - creamy, fresh, flavorful Crab cake - fresh, melts in your mouth Steamed mussels with wine sauce - can't go wrong with mussels, one of my favorites! Fish and chips - fish had that wonderful quality of being almost see-thru and (you guessed it!) so fresh Ice cream - read more

Oh no! What a disappointment. Have been loving MD for decades, but last nights scallop plate was awful. Scallops were either overcooked or frozen or both! Dry and tasteless. We were so looking forward to fresh sweet succulent fried scallops. That's not what we got. I don't think I've been this unhappy with a meal here in all the years we've been eating here. Was this a fluke or are they buying inferior quality scallops these days? read more

Came here on the recommendation of a friend so my expectations were high. Unfortunately, reality didn't live up to the fantasy. I chose 6 Wellfleet Oysters ($14) for a starter. I admit that this was my first time having this species of oyster. WIMPY, PUNY, DISAPPOINTING. If this is the best Oyster they have in New England, then I will never have Oysters here again. Things got better with my entree, Fried Whole Belly Clams platter ($32). They say that these are the "taste of New England". The Clams were good dipped in tartar sauce and there was a sizable portion of them. Served with French fries and a decent Coleslaw. My girlfriend ordered the Grilled Shrimps and Scallops platter ($28) and she gave it a thumbs up. Corn on the cob with a baked potato, it was a carb load. I have had better seafood experiences than this. It is also stupid expensive here and not a good value for the money. $80 for 2 to have lunch! Overall I was very disappointed. read more

Coming to Ptown and Truro for 50 years and finally decided to try Moby Dick's. We got 2 fish sandwiches and a burger, a salad, 2 bowls of clam chowder and 1 lobster bisque and 1 lb steamers for $125 before tip. Okay price but food was just okay and fish portions were small. The person in our group who got the lobster bisque loved it. The steamers were large and tasty. The hamburger ordered medium came out bleeding and we sent it back to be cooked more. Cod sandwich was tasty but small portion of fish. The salmon sandwich was good also but long skinny piece of fish and was missing the pesto sauce so had to ask for that again. The clam chowder had a good flavor but the potatoes were not cooked enough and were hard while the clams were chewy. Fries were bland and soggy. Servers were pleasant and helpful. BYOB was a nice option. Unfortunately, don't think we will be back. read more

A must stop down the cape! Incredible service and food. So welcoming and attentive, and everything we ate was phenomenal. Lobster, fish and chips, calamari, lobster bisque and THE CLAM CHOWDER. Amazing stuff! read more

I'd like to say I have been on Yelp for a long enough time. This experience has been one of my most memorable of them all. Clam chowder - amazing! Steamers and mussels - amazing! 2 lb lobster - amazing! Oh, can't forget the pesto oysters and key lime that the owner Todd brought out for us. He was an amazing host! Even helping with a few tips on cracking the lobster open, exploring cape cod, and enjoying life. Couldn't recommend this place enough, thank you! read more

Wow! Great meal, friendly staff. Well worth the wait. Excellent crab cakes, delicious broiled Cod and shrimp and scallop skewers. Staff is attentive. All set in a classic seafood shack atmosphere. Highly recommend eating here. read more

This place is definitely going for a beach shack vibe (though it's huge), and they hit it. Both inside and out it looks a bit worse for wear, but I think that's intentional (it's a little hard to tell honestly). The food was good, but I did not think anything great. I had a lobster roll which was just okay. Not bad, but when I pay $20+ for a meal (with no atmosphere) I expect something pretty good, and this was just average. You order at the front and then they bring your meal to you. The servers were efficient, but not especially friendly. Perhaps because it was the end of the season when we visited. read more

The servers are excellent! The food was very good. We had the lobster dinner and the corn was fresh.

If you want a great new England seafood meal go to Moby Dicks. The only downfall is having to order your meals at a counter and sit at a table inside or out and the server will bring it to you. The servers are attentive. The food is great. We ordered the lobster roll and a salad with pears, cranberries and candied nuts with a skewer of shrimp. The people were friendly and accommodating, the food was great, and prices reasonable. Anyone who travels on Route 6 to Providence must stop for a great seafood meal. read more

Good place near the water with live music. Like most places you near the water your going for the atmosphere not the food. We got burgers, oysters and mussels. Everything was ok but nothing special. read more

Service was great and very friendly. Food was delicious. Price was fair. The decor was nice. A perfect cape cod sea food restaurant.

Uhhh this lobster roll. So delicious! So fresh and simple and classic. You've gotta get their clam chowder soup, too. Best I've had. Delicious coleslaw. Such an adorable, quaint place. Everything you want in a beachside lobster shop. The secret tip? Skip the long line by ordering your food as takeout and just eating it at one of their empty picnic tables outside. 5 stars!!!!! read more

My husband and I visited Moby Dicks last weekend. I got the fried oysters and hubby got the fried clams. Both entrees were delivered hot and delicious by friendly staff. The owner, Todd was making his rounds chatting with all his guests and made a point to stop and check to make sure our meals were to our expectations. He also took the time to tell us a little history of his location and Wellfleet. Thanks for everything! We will be back!! Rich and Deb Truro Ma read more

Yum yum yum. Old fashioned vibe and even better food. I am on the search for the best clam chowder and I could just go on a long monologue about good clam chowder but, 7.7 out of 10. Fish and chips; mwah! but word of advice you have to be hungry to order it. Man! whole lotta fish. Aaaaanywaaay, service is great and great system at Moby's. Great place! read more

Went on Friday night 8/12/22....Food was good.. but I ate outside on the picnic benches... My sister and I were covered with CHIGGER bites allover our legs after wards... They are corn stalks next to the table with high grass... After this happened, I called and emailed the restaurant to tell them what happened thinking they might actually care!! to know that CHIGGERS are around their dining tables??? They did not even respond to my call or email... make any attempt to care???? not worth going for a lobster you can get anywhere... terrible customer service!!! would not even have posted this if they had made any attempt to return my call and care that this happened to us.... read more

Taken a back at the "order yourself and we bring it to you"... but whatever. The staff was very friendly . I ordered the lobster bisque as an appetizer and my husband the calamari. Both dishes were very good. I ordered the lobster roll for my entree and he the fish and chips. Note: I didn't want the lobster roll platter with fries and slaw... but they charged me the same for the lobster roll on its own? Never had a lobster roll before. It was hunks of cold, flavorless lobster on a roll with a piece of lettuce. No buttered, toasted roll. No mayonnaise. Dry. If this is what a lobster roll is, I never want one again. It was gross. And $30! My husbands fish was bland. The fries were bland as well... and the coleslaw was... coleslaw. Such a bummer and had bigger hopes for this place. Could have spent $90 somewhere else for better food I'm sure! read more

Greasy overpriced fried food. Expensive. Order at counter and served on paper plates. Friendly staff clean

Great spot for dinner! Enjoyed our conversation with Migs-one of the owners who shared a little of the restaurant's history with us. Definitely get the fried onion bloom. It's perfect for sharing and the fried oysters were a hit with my husband. My fish and chips were tender with a perfect crispy fry. We'll be back! read more

Just had dinner at MD's and again it was amazing. Friends 3 of them had over 5 lbs of sweet delicious lobster. Family had blackened salmon that was done perfectly. But my grilled swordfish was the highlight of my night. Grilled to perfection and tasted even better. We couldn't be more happier with the dinner we all enjoyed. MB's by far is our favorites, no pictures so you must rely on your imagination or better yet just go. read more

Again, had extremely high expectations going into this meal due to the rave reviews...couldn't be let down any harder. Didn't even finish our meals which is rare. Service was fine no complaints but standard even though it's extremely confusing on the process with where to wait in line, etc. Owner was nice guy came around checking individually on every table and even took time out of his busy night refill our drinks. If you like strange jazz background music and bland food this is your spot! Overall meal ratings: Price: 2/10 way over priced Clam chowder: 6.8/10 Scallops and shrimp plate: 5/10, 5/10 Lobster Roll: 4.6/10 worst I've ever had in my life Fries: 7.1/10 Potato/Corn: 8.1/10 , 7.3/10 Overall Rating: 45.9/80 possible points Do not recommend, will not be back read more

Moby Dick's is but one of a bevy of similar choices as you make your way through Cape Cod en route to Provincetown. With so many places hosting similar seafood offerings why you pick one over another seems akin to a roll of the dice. I picked it for several reasons but here's why I'd pick it again: 1. What a great menu they have here, really. It's primarily seafood but within that category there's a wide variety of preparations and presentations. All lobster all the time sounds good in theory - and reality - but it's nice to have options. A Cape Cod Salad ($9) topped with fresh grilled Tuna (+$8) was delicious. As was an ear of corn ($2). And if I could remember what others at my table ate I'd tell you that was great too. The food is well prepared, well seasoned, fresh, satisfying, and tasty. 2. BYOB with no cover or corkage. Where am I, Hawaii? 'Nuff said. Stock up before your arrival. 3. Who knew that working on Cape Cod and coming from all parts of the Earth to do so was a thing? Employee name tags identify the country from which each worker hails and it's like the U.N. in here. Russia, Ireland, and Germany? Representing. 4. There's a couple of places to sit here and after ordering I opted to sit up some stairs in a large, clean dining room with long picnic tables and light-filled windows. Aside from having to repeatedly ask employees to please stop trying to lower the blinds (nobody was complaining and I was enjoying the light) the space perfectly suited the offering. 5. See #1 and #2 above. There's so much goodness on that menu that settling on one thing was difficult. And then, imagining what I might pair it with, at no extra cost? Be still my heart. Overlook this recommendation and you might not regret it but once you've been you'll be kicking yourself for not stopping sooner. Moby Dick's is definitely on rotation for my future Cape visits. read more
