What a great place for a great meal. There was 22 of us having dinner on a busy night during the summer season and they hit it out of the park. We're not a quiet group by any imagination. They were great accommodating our group with several changes to the reservation, very graciously I might add. Kellen our waiter was awesome! Can you imagine handling a group of 22? He did it with almost perfection. Everyone raved about their food. I had pan fried sole which was delicious. The menu has numerous choices with seafood being the main thrust but they also had flatbreads, burgers and steaks! Great drink menu, a couple of decent craft beer choices and also a nice wine menu. Prices were very reasonable considering this is Cape Cod at the height of the season. I highly recommend you give them a try you wont be disappointed. read more

The burger here was incredible. I wish I had a picture to show. We also had a dozen oysters that were some of the best we tasted in Wellfleet. Nice staff and very accommodating. read more

Total spur of the moment stop on our drive back from Provincetown cuz I was getting hangry! So glad we saw it and pulled in - whole experience was fabulous. Oysters! little gem salad! Fish and chips! Night shift light beer. All delicious and they were so friendly and the ambiance has a bit of a European country inn esthetic. Service was professional but also chummy. I loved it. read more

One of my favorite restaurants on Cape Cod. The menu has a great selection with daily specials also available. We started with gazpacho and the heirloom tomatoes with polenta. Both were very good although I felt the polenta lacked seasoning. For entrees my husband had the blackened sea bass special and I had the grilled halibut served with fingerling potatoes and summer veggie melody. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Dessert was the summer fruit tart with strawberries, rhubarb and peaches. Yummy. Attentive service and the dining room active but you could still hold a conversation. The crowds come in around 7pm and that's when it starts getting loud. Wicked Oyster is always very busy so get your reservations! read more

I was here two weeks ago and we ordered various snacks and two entrees to share. We thoroughly enjoyed everything, the stars were the day boat scallops and the mussels. Cocktails were great, too. I came back solo two weeks later so that I could enjoy a full order of the scallops myself! Great food, attentive service, very pleasant atmosphere. As a year-round Wellfleet resident I look forward to some wonderful winter culinary experiences at this gem of a restaurant. read more

The food was amazing. Hands down, the best cheeseburger on the Cape. Beet salad was delicious. read more

Well new owners be aware...I hate to leave this review. A 70 yo 5 generation cape codder. This was a local treasure. NOT NOW. New owners nasty hostess...it was odd for a weekend at prime time not many there. Asked for patio...it was a nice night apparently not anymore. No explanation just surly hostess. OK then menu is god awful. Here's the thing...don't fix what ain't broke. Meal was screwed up wrong our guests ate we had 5 minutes to eat the most mediocre food after 30 minute wait The bill was 100. For 1 hamburger (vile) sent back one salad and 1 glass of wine!!!! I'm guessing because it was a local place and no one from wellfleet was there. Our waitress was pleasant but completely indifferent. Ugh.... no wedge salad the whole frigging town ate that...fussy weird combos of fish. Come on skate wings are delicious in brown butter and capers. Duh...French bistro??? Not that strange and horrible. Here the best part. The "french frys " were left over breakfast potatoes...seriously. If you remember the wicked this is a expensive mistake. Do not eat there...it's gone read more

Sorry to have to report that we did not enjoy our meal. New owners and chef have changed the old menu to one with very limited choices with only 2 fish entrees and some unusual preparations which did not appeal to us. Tastes were on bland side and lacked depth of flavor and salt. Mussel starter and entree lobster gnocchi seemed to share similar broth which was creamy and buttery but still tasted bland. Crab salad was ok but could use some greens and veggies to dress up the plate. Service was ok and friendly. Would prefer a larger menu with classic New England preparations. Sorry to say we won't be back unless we hear that the menu and chef has changed. read more

They have oysters. And they are wicked... Good that is!! Plus the crab cakes, halibut, lobster... I think pretty much everything on the menu is going to be above and beyond seafood wise. The atmosphere is friendly, and its a place I can bring family and friends. Can't wait to try more menu items when I come back again and again. read more

The risotto here is amazing , my favorite thing for sure. No matter what was on it, I recommend the scallops and salmon for sure. Other dishes around the table were the Panko fried sole, also very good, and the burgers. The service is also excellent. Our waitress Lizzie was great! We also had another waitress for my twin sister and my 21st birthday and although I don't remember her name she was absolutely amazing (short blonde hair, tattoos, very cool). We were super loud and I'm sure annoying and she treated us so well, we couldn't have asked for better service that night. Hope the owner sees this and can recognize who it is lol, she deserves a shout out. read more

Delicious food, great service, worth the prices! We were seated outside and it was a great atmosphere, some people brought there small dogs which is a friendly place as long as they don't bark a lot. The Lazy lobster was delicious! This was our first time and I am very glad we tried it! The service was spot on, all hard workers! read more

We love love love this spot for breakfast! Have been cooking to Wellfleet for years now and always make a point to get breakfast here. The food is tasty and reasonably priced as well as a great selection of beverages both alcoholic and not. My favorite dish is the Green Eggs and Ham! So unique and fun! It's a scrambled egg dish with ham, pesto, arugula, and cream cheese and it's incredible! The pesto really makes this dish stand out. The home fries are good but nothing to write home about. Feel like they could use an extra something because the char on them is very good. My #2 got the lobster scram which was perfect and so cheesy! The parking situation is hit or miss depending on what time you get there. Extra parking in rear is very helpful. You can also call ahead which is great when you have a bigger party. read more

Wonderful! Everything about every minute of our dining experience here was terrific. We made an early (somewhat last minute) reservation that was easily accommodated and were greeted with smiles by every single person that we came in contact with. That just set the right tone. The interior is lovely - great, super clean layout with plenty of beautiful, wooden tables and paintings reflecting the local vibe. Our server was delightful. Beverages were awesome and the food was fabulous. We started with cocktails - a "nor-easter" (ginger beer and maple whiskey concoction) and the special of the day (that tasted like a bright citrusy not overly sweet treat). One of the appetizer specials happened to be mussels - so we started there and also ordered a half dozen oysters. The mussels were in a light beer-based broth with banana peppers throughout. Give me a spoon and let me drink that up. Oh, wait...I'll just use the bread. The bread. I forgot to mention the bread. The bread basket is my achilles heel - especially when it's this good. Warm, sliced bread "sticks" served with a couple of pats of butter and perfectly roasted garlic for spreading. Oh. My. Goodness. I love bread and this carb-laden basket and I had a brief and fleeting affair. Our wonderful server brought us a second serving thus increasing her tip even more. And...increasing my waistline.... OK. back on track here. The mussels were meaty and plentiful. Crusty bread on top was very nice but, as you now know...the other bread stole my heart. I was having a hard time figuring out what to get for my dinner...so we just shared the ahi tuna appetizer and I went with crab cakes (appetizer) for my main course. My companion had the pan seared cod served with littlenecks - also cooked perfectly. I loved the ahi tuna - it had a slight kick from the spices on the outside. The soy reduction and wasabi dipping sauces were beautifully plated beside the tuna slices. Crab cakes were surprisingly large, not greasy and full of delicious, shredded crab. No filler at all. By the time we left, the restaurant was almost at capacity. I can understand why. Loved it. read more

Food delicious, very creative flavors. Not a large menu, but quality of food makes up for it Beautiful dining area Very quaint bar Service was perfect read more

Maybe just an off night or maybe an off summer. There are new owners this year, new staff, a new menu, and the food is not as good as it was. Lobster gnocchi was overly sweet. A fish dish was poorly cooked. The focaccia and little gem salad, though, were quite good and the bartender (we ate at the bar) was great. read more

Delicious dinner with friends on the patio. Our server, Nicole, was excellent. Love the vibe in the outdoor seating area. We had grilled romaine salad, spinach salad, seafood stew and blackened striped bass, all were delicious! The tuna appetizer was yummy, but only 4 small pieces, which was a bit surprising. Chocolate torte for desert didn't disappoint. read more

I had an unbelievable meal here with my fiancé for her birthday. I absolutely loved my entree - he was not as enthusiastic about his but I feel like I loved mine so much that it made up for it. I absolutely loved the half roasted chicken special. The gravy was so unctuous and flavorful and had just the right amount seasoning. You can just tell that this food is made with so much love. This place certainly isn't known for its ambiance but it was a lovely spot and I'd definitely go back. They need better lighting in the front dining room. Good service for sure. read more

We have always enjoyed the Wicked Oyster, and when we visited upon opening for the season, discovered they were under new ownership and management, and WOW. This restaurant has gone from good to exceptional. They have delicious classic fish dishes, as well as creative and outstanding dishes new to the menu. We had buttered bread (homemade grilled focaccia and butter), perfectly shucked oysters with granita mignonette, and potatoes with romesco sauce to start, followed by warm asparagus caesar salad, and the lobster gnocchi, which were pillows of potatoes with a light sherry sauce. The cocktails made by Sam and Dan were creative and on point. We will be back, and soon! read more

My partner just dropped a bundle on a very disappointing dinner--we betrayed our "Macs only" (well, PJs too) dinner policy and are so sorry we did. We'd heard the dinner situation had improved (previously Wicked Oyster was a breakfast-only place for us) so we figured a 5 pm seating would be safe. Our salad tasted like it hadn't been dressed, my pasta came with chicken that had been cooked some other day, and my partner's dry, crumbly cod was accompanied by some soggy diner broccoli that looked like it belonged next to an open turkey sandwich. The server was very nice and my Paloma was magnificent. But no more dinners here for us--we'll stick to Macs which is so much better for the same price point. read more

My boyfriend and I went to The Wicked Oyster yesterday for dinner while visiting the cape. We made reservations beforehand on open table and was lucky enough to snack a spot for outdoor dining. They had bug spray and hand sanitizer right when you walk up to the entrance. The tables were all well distanced apart from others. We started with a bowl of the clam chowder. It had huge lumps of crab but was missing seasoning. It could have used salt and pepper. We also got 3 oysters with the spicy mignonette (so delicious!). For our main meals I got the lazy lobster with gnocchi. It was okay. It was heavy with butter and cream. I actually couldn't make it through because of how heavy it was. My boyfriend got the fried sole and he enjoyed it very much. Overall, not super impressed with the food. Underflavored in some spots and then over use of butter and cream in others. The staff was super friendly and it was a beautiful location. Would give it a try in the future perhaps with different food. read more

Well-rated breakfast places are hard to find in this part of the Cape. Had a great meal here this morning! Picture is of the blueberry pancakes I got--super yummy! Their texture is different--reminds me of the baby apple pancakes I used to get at Bickfords. Also got a Mimosa, which was great. A nice amount of champagne mixed with fresh squeezed oj. Our daughter requested chocolate chip waffles, which they prepared special for her. My husband got the Eggs Benedict. All very good food. Hostess and server were very nice. Highly recommend! read more

The Wicked Oyster - Blueberry pancakes - Seafood Near Me - Wellfleet, Massachusetts

Eh, mediocre, particularly for the prices. Had the mussel appetizer which was good, a Harry's burger which was ok served with what tasted like Aramark frozen French fries, and my husband had the seafood stew which was a few mussels, a few clams, two shrimp and what appeared to be a pulverized fish (rather than chunks) - aside from the shellfish he said it was not edible. The waiter was good and it's a lovely atmosphere, but the food is your basic three star food. It might be considered good for this area but coming from Boston it was disappointing. read more

One of the better dining experiences on the outer cape. Menu is seafood driven but offers a good selection of other options. During the summer season, you will need to make a reservation (open table app is available). Dress code is smart casual to business attire. I have dined here multiple times and enjoyed all the plates selected. It is a nice change of pace from all the fried seafood and hamburger establishments. Definitely worth a visit when vacationing in the outer cape. read more

I love the Wicked Oyster. Everything from the service to the drinks and the food is fantastic--there was not one element to the experience I had here that was less than wonderful. They've pivoted to accommodate more outdoor diners beautifully--we were seated in the gorgeous garden on time, and were relaxing, cocktails in hand, within moments of arriving. The oysters were sublimely fresh and delicious, the wine was perfectly chilled, and our meals were delightful and delicious. I went for a sea bass that evening with a gorgeous cous cous salad, and the meal was satisfying without being heavy or rich. Light, full of flavor, and expertly prepared. The Wicked Oyster is a favorite among locals, too, so you know it's the real deal. I highly recommend. read more

Oh no !!! New owners who deserve a fair shake so I will return next time in hope they fix things - the menu wasn't broke before. Let's start with the good. Service impeccable and the oysters great as usual as were the cod cheek croquettes. The not so good is that most of the menu (scallops, crème brûlée, lobster Mac) have been stripped and replaced by a menu which is trying too hard and seems to have been designed by someone with an overt nut fetish. The affordable NZ Sauv Blancs are gone replaced with French high markup wines. The lobster gniochi was good, but the walnuts had no place in the dish and jarred the enjoyment. The sole itself was delightful, despite the ambush courgettes which helped keep the fish crispy (bravo!!!) .The risotto bed however had not factored in that lemon flavors are so diluted by rice that you have to close your eyes and think about the Amalfi coast in order to believe there are lemons or even capers in it. The real crimes on the menu were in the dessert section. Cheesecake with jam was ok but I left some as it was interesting but quite bland unless paired with the jam and the completely unnecessary hazelnuts. The chocolate cake with lovely pickled cherries (if they stopped there it would be good!!!) nut butter, nut sauce and lots of salt was pretty poor. The lovely waitress recommended the sesame ice cream, and it felt like someone had a trip and decided sushi ice cream was a good idea. Of the 2-3000 deserts I've eaten in restaurants two of these are the worst ideas ever and possibly violated human rights laws. We couldn't stop laughing until of course the bill arrived, which still left a taste better than the ice cream. I LOVE this restaurant and desperately want it to succeed hence the 3 stars rather than the 1 it struggled to earn. Nothing wrong with the execution but people don't come to Wellfleet to be shocked by their food and at the same time is potentially taking down an institution. I implore the new owners please have someone impartial taste test the menu and please consider that they bought a restaurant with a very successful menu which didn't deserve dragging behind the woodshed. read more

Absolutely excellent food, service and ambience. Wonderful staters and entrees (and cocktails!) that can't be beat. We will be back often and I'm happy they will be open year round. read more

Consistently excellent, even during the pandemic. Fantastic seafood, well prepared , with good service and pleasant atmosphere. We had oysters of course, but also lazy man's lobster over gnocchi and pan seared scallops over lemon risotto.

For many years I been a huge fan of the Wicked Oyster , it has long been part of our summer time restaurant repertoire here on the outer Cape. On a recent trip my husband and I returned for dinner and we learned that it is now under new ownership and management . I am thrilled to report that they took a restaurant that was really good and made it even better , The service under the direction of Sebastian Taffara formerly of PB Boulangerie is absolutely outstanding . The menu has many of the Wicked Oyster old standby's with some amazing new additions that are creative and delicious. So happy to report that the place is better than ever . I am looking forward to the opening of their outdoor dinning area . read more

Quality breakfast in the Cape can be tough to find. After a weekend P-Town trip, I wanted to find a local restaurant outside of the tip of MA. A quick Yelp search brought us to The Wicked Oyster. We were promptly seated and serviced with coffee. The building itself has is pretty impressive,as the main dining room is from 1750! Not sure what brand iced coffee they use, but it was smooth and absolutely delicious! My meal was an avocado toast Benedict which was avocado toast with eggs Benedict on top. My side was hash browns. Hands down, this was one of the best breakfasts I've had in a restaurant. A great combination of two of my favorite breakfast plates. Summer can not come soon enough for my next Cape Cod trip to try The Wicked Oyster for lunch or dinner. read more

3.5 stars for breakfast on a Thursday morning. We got seated right away (party of 5). I ordered the short stack of blueberry pancakes which, I was told, were heaven. They were good, but a little raw in the middle. Had they been cooked all the way through, they would have definitely been great! Another member of my party also ordered the blueberry pancakes and hers seemed to be cooked a bit better. Other members of the group had the breakfast sandwich (looked very good), omelet and scrambled eggs with toast. No one was unhappy. The waitress was a bit surly and disappeared when it was time to get food boxed up and grab the check, but we weren't in a super rush. All in all, I would come back on another visit to Wellfleet. read more

Got take out on a Wednesday night, here are my thoughts: - ordering was easy, food was ready promptly - staff was friendly and attentive - ordered 6 oysters, one shell was empty. The remaining 5 were good, but how did this get out of the kitchen? - watermelon salad was good, but small. Had to add additional lettuce at home. - crab cakes were good, came with pineapple salsa - fish stew was fair, fish did not seem fresh and broth lacked flavor. Overall, the food quality and food taste was fair. read more

When we introduced friends from Indiana to the Cape this weekend, we had no idea how amazing our dinner at the Wicked Oyster was going to be. From the moment we stepped inside and were greeted by a smiling, friendly hostess then seated in a candle lit room where others were enjoying their meals , clearly already privy to the fact that the food was going to be euphoric. Our 'snacks' as they called them and 'starters' were ordered per our server's recommendation on sharing a few things...he was so right! Our heirloom tomato salad and mussels, the scallop crudo and focaccia (which was perfect to dip in all the sauces and broths)! Moving on to our entrees of su vide prime rib eye and lobster gnocchi I can't even describe the experience because it was that good and will forever remain a core memory for our weekend away with our neighbors and friends! So thank you so much for this amazing night...can't wait to return to Wellfleet for another go! And we hope to have Daniel again as our server...he needs a raise! read more

Three of us went last night, our first time and we went to follow the Chef, Garrett, who used to be at The Pheasant. We were very pleased with the atmosphere, the hospitality and the good food. Happily, we had a few things that we recognized as Chef signatures and enjoyed new-to-us items, as well. Loved that sharing is encouraged as part of the experience. Our waitperson, Emily, made the evening special by taking good care of us...she is a huge asset to the restaurant. We'll be back! read more

One of our most reliable and longstanding go-to spots when we make our annual Indian Summer pilgrimage to the Outer Cape. Consistently good seafood and service. Decent wine selections. Bit we are major league bummed that they stopped serving breakfast mid-COVID. Their breakfast menu was, hands down, the best on the Outer Cape - and was always our first stop after our long car drive (where we would clink to vacation with yummy Bloody Marys) Every other option around is either take-out or mediocre or both. Please bring your breakfast back ! Even if just the weekends We miss it ! read more
