    Avocado burger.. my catsup dump
    Barbara B.

    Just as good as last year! This time we swapped the onion rings for fries and the fish for an avocado burger. All delicious. Quick yummy stop before we unpack

    And their softserve ice cream was a big hit too!
    Corba D.

    We loved the informal dining and the food was very good. We ate every bite of our cheeseburgers and on another visit tried and loved the lobster rolls. The help keeps the place neat and clean, even when it's really busy at lunchtime.

    Chuck loved his lobster roll!

    Yummmy. It's window service to order and pick up. No table service. Lobster rolls with fresh lemon tasty. The onion rings are a must have, fine sliced crispy piled high!! Fries also good but those onion rind dipped in horseradish mayo sauce was too good. Friend liked her haddock fish sando too. We sat outside in a heat-lamped patio still a bit chilly but ok on a 25° day. Tip there's more parking farther back road below the tiny lot on main road. & Shakes look fantastic too!!

    The food is fine. The buns for the lobster roll and the fried clams were subpar. Service is fast and they just call your name over the intercom to have you come up and get your food. I wouldn't tip for this type of service so be mindful that they ask for tip. There isn't any official inside seating so bring a jacket because even if you ask them to turn on the heat lamps above you, they won't do it . There's plenty of parking to help yourself water and ice machine and bathrooms on the premise .

    This place was great! One of the best burgers I've ever had and definitely the best onion rings I've had. Loved the sauce they served with them too - kind of like a milder bloom sauce. 10/10 would recommend

    Burger and shake
    Krystyn P.

    Do you like Shake Shack? Then you'll probably like The Knack. The shakes are good, the smash burgers are tasty, and the onion rings remind me of a blooming onion. There's a decent amount of outdoor seating and the service is pretty fast. The parking lot is a bit too small and the patrons don't seem to care about well... anyone but themselves. So, if you can snag a spot, they make a darn good burger.

    A avocado burger
    Cody L.

    Loved this place! It came highly recommended and I can see why! This place is awesome... I ordered a lobster roll as well as a couple burgers. They came out fresh and were extremely delicious! There were out door tables and chairs, water and shade.

    Order at the window
    Jessica S.

    This was recommended as a great place for black and white milkshakes. They were delicious. We also tried the burgers, hot dogs, and lobster rolls with fries, onion rings, and carrot slaw. You order at the window. There are tables outside. We took our order to go. I would definitely go back.

    Fries and onion ring
    Peyton H.

    Fish tacos were great! Seasoned well, lightly breaded, and the cabbage slaw was very good (Plus the tortillas actually stayed together while you ate it). Perfectly dressed lobster roll with good chunks of lobster! Onion rings were a 10/10 and the sauce they came with was great too, fries were also good. You order at the counter and there are tables in the back that are first come, so depends on how busy if you can get one and how loud it is. We will be back

    The Knack - Orleans Location

    My family was in search of a quick dinner spot and came across The Knack, which had excellent reviews. It did not disappoint! The restaurant has a charming clam shack style where you place your order at the counter and then pick it up to enjoy at one of the outdoor seating areas adjacent to the shack. There is a good number of tables and chairs, along with all the necessary sauces and napkins conveniently located nearby. I pre-ordered our meals in case there was a long line, but when we arrived around 5 PM on Wednesday, there were only a couple of people waiting for their food. Everything we ordered was fresh, and the chicken nuggets were particularly outstanding--perfectly crispy and delicious! We will definitely return the next time we are in town.

    Best dinner spot after a day at the beach. The chicken tenders are the best value and so delicious every time

    Curious as to what they put in the veggie taco that was mentioned by a customer? She said it was delicious!

    The Dog House quickly became our place of refuge during our time on Cape Cod. We had a few…read moredisappointing experiences at other restaurants on the Cape, so we ended up coming back here two or three times throughout our trip because it was just so consistent. The hot dogs are pretty good. They're nothing completely out of this world, but they're definitely worth trying. We ordered the Glendon Beach Dog, the Sonoran Dog, and the West Dennis Dog, and the Glendon Beach Dog was by far our favorite. The real star of the menu, though, was the Dirty Fries. They are absolutely gigantic and so worth the price. Honestly, for Cape Cod, the prices here are actually pretty reasonable, which I really appreciated. Another thing I really appreciated was that they accommodated us even though we showed up about 10 minutes before closing. The service was awesome, and they were still incredibly welcoming. They also have a really cute outdoor seating area that adds to the whole experience. And I have to mention the lemonade because it was SO good. It was incredibly tart, sour, and refreshing, which is exactly how I like my lemonade. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area or visiting the Cape. We kept coming back for a reason.

How could we get our food so fast? Well we checked our food before we were headed to the beach (luckily) and the food was cold, dry, awful and clearly precooked (on a very slow night. the French fries were not even the slightest bit warm. Really sad excuse of an establishment. We spoke to the manager and got a refund and an I'm sorry. But no excuse for having food sitting around and then selling it to customers.

We loved the food but we weren't sure if the dogs were really that good or we were just super hungry. Today, we went back for lunch. OMG. These really are the best hot dogs. What makes them so good? First of all, the snap. When you bite into a Deepwater dog you get that classic hot dog snap followed by very tasty meat inside. Second, the combinations. My wife had chili dogs (no beans) both times and loved them. I had a Reuben dog (both times) and today added a Southern dog. Both were fabulous. The Cole slaw and bbq sauce made the Southern dog sing! Finally, the service. Two different young ladies taking orders on our two visits but both were sweet, friendly and helpful. And the owner/chef takes pride in his work and was genuinely happy when we were happy. This is a fabulous little gem on the rail trail at the top of Underpass Rd. Yeah, I know, we shouldn't eat hot dogs every week but Deepwater Dogs are hard to resist.

My mother went with the Chili Dog and the American BBQ.
