The fried were good but in my opinion the onion rings are without a doubt the way to go. Their onion rings with some ketchup or dipped in their burger sauce is close to onion ring experience perfection. We also had a chocolate shake which was very good. It's not pictured because we decided to get it as we were leaving. The chocolate flavor was bold and it didn't come from a low quality syrup. Eating this outside made it that much better! This place gets a 4 only because it's not a top 3 burger or overall experience I have had at places similar to this. The quality and freshness is very good though!

Outstanding! Run, don't walk to Surfside Seafood for their Oyster Po Boy (or a Lobster Roll or…read moreScallop Roll). My family has been buying fresh lobster and fish from this location for years, but had never eaten from their menu on-site. Man, have we been missing out. I've just finished the best Oyster Po Boy I've ever had...and I've been fortunate enough to eat them all over the country. My son had a lobster roll that was so large and so good, I had to remind him to breathe in between bites. And my wife enjoyed her scallop roll so much, all she could say, repeatedly, was "this is my new favorite place." Once we'd finished, we got to meet the owner Bradley. He's a scallop fisherman who brings freshies in every morning at 4AM, which would explain my wife's reaction to the scallop roll. And then we met his partner Alex, who spent 15 years in New Orleans, which would explain the incredible Oyster Po Boy. Props too, to all of the staff at this place...especially the guys in the kitchen who manage to smile and wave despite the fact that they're moving fast and getting amazing food out the door. We'll definitely be headed back, probably tomorrow.

We were a little confused at first and started out in the seafood market. After wandering around a…read morebit, we found the outdoor window where you're supposed to order prepared food. I ended up with a half dozen Wellfleet oysters, which were substantial (2 year olds?), fresh, and briny -- exactly what you want in a Wellfleet. The only downside: They came with a lot of shell bits in the brine. I get that these oysters are hard to shuck since they have those rough, irregular shells (a result of being buffeted by the rough waves in this area). But I can do a better job when I have my good shucking knife on me and I am far from an expert shucker. A Caribbean fish soup / stew was also quite enjoyable, though my impolite and poorly-brought-up progeny made gagging noises when I opened up the container of soup in the car. I guess he thought it smelled unpleasantly fishy. :) He did quite enjoy a creme brulee we found in a refrigerated case in the market, however. Pleasant outdoor seating; delicious-looking menu (some of which isn't as ridiculously overpriced as it is in much of the Cape); pristinely fresh seafood; and super nice staff. But I was a little surprised by how long it took for us to receive the soup, which presumably had already been prepared, when it wasn't busy at all. (I think it took about 15 minutes!)

There are multiple different seating options, everything from an outdoor patio to high top bar seats, tables, and the indoor booth seating which is what we selected. The dining room is comfortable, and with open windows it provided a nice breath of fresh air. We started with the seafood sampler, a wonderful combination of fresh and delicious shellfish (clams, oysters, shrimp and a lobster tail). We then split appetizers instead of entrees, having the tuna tartare and the Chatham mussels, both of which were excellent. There was some minor room for improvement - after we were done with our seafood sampler, we sat for about 10 minutes while our server Danielle seemed to be in an enthusiastic conversation with Caroline out in front of the restaurant. It provided for some interesting dinner theater, but with so many other employees standing around, it probably would have been an ideal opportunity for somebody else to chip in and take over. Also, the mussels came in a wonderful wine / garlic sauce - some bread would have been a thoughtful addition to soak up that wonderful broth. Fortunately the quality of the food and the vibe of the restaurant more than compensated for a couple of service issues - we visited in late May, so hopefully by the time this restaurant hits the busy season, they'll have the issues worked out. Overall, I would certainly not hold back from referring this restaurant.

After a long drive in, we found this restaurant online and they had availability on a Saturday night. The food was good, but it was way WAY too much. I wish they warned us bc we should have shared. I don't understand huge portions in general, but GIANT portions without warning leads to an unnecessary waste of food. I would not describe the ambience of the deck as inviting or cute, but the view was nice and the server and hostess staff were lovely. I don't think it is a must if you are in Orleans, but if you want easy and dependable, I think this is a good option.
