Consistently an amazing time, great food, service, environment and fun. Owner and staff go above and beyond to make your experience one to remember. My family and I have been patrons of John since it was the dockside. My family and I thank you for such great memories. Glad to see you are open and we will be by for lunch or dinner this week Truly Joe read more

The family that owns the place is amazing! So caring! Great staff!!! Awesome place to be and go to all year round! With the lights on around the water and it being right on the water the place is beautiful! read more

Where do I start?? Well, first this place is ONE OF A KIND! Back in August, while on vacation, my wife asked me to find a place to get a bite and a drink on the water with a view. After looking around, I located Trader Ed's. We went there not knowing what to expect, we left we a new FAVORITE spot on the Cape! We went back a few more times that week, and before you knew it, the staff knew us by name. Fast forward to the weekend. A couple of months later, we are back on the Cape. We made a beeline to Trader Ed's, walked in a the staff began cheering my wife's name like we never left. We just had the best weekend there. Thanks to John and his staff! You guys rock! read more

Trader Ed's - Bars Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

Spent a long weekend in Hyannis and checked out this spot after finding it in one of the Cape guides. I was hoping for a live band, but it was just a DJ on Saturday night. The waterfront scenery was nice, and the vibe was decent. Service was okay. Seating was self-serve, seemed to have plenty of staff, however I got skipped over a few times and had to wave someone down more than once. I ordered the coconut shrimp plate, which was just ok. Nothing spectacular. read more

Trader Ed's - Coconut Shrimp Plate - Bars Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

The only reason I'm giving two stars is because of the service. My friend and I came here on whim. We were immediately seated and our server was friendly and promptly gave us waters. I went with fish and chips and my friend ordered the steak tips and chicken. My fish was bland and not very crispy. My friends steak and chicken were seasoned well but overcooked. They were both very dry. I would not eat here again. Maybe just come for a drink. read more

vibes are so good we love this bar, bartenders are so amazing owner is the best highly recommend!!!

Last night sarted out as a good Saturday night and took a quick turn. Tan waitress thought it was cool to be throwing ice cubes from the bar to the high noon stand and hit customers multiple times. She then proceeded to try to kick my family out of our table for two guys that just came in wearing suits. She claimed they "reserved the table for 11" ( it was 11:40). We had been there since 8 PM. We told one of the security guards who then kicked them out, gave us our table back and had a word with her. He apologized for her behavior many times. Bartender was also extremely rude. This broad slammed about 5 shots in the time I was there. I get it here and there, but dont be a drunk bitch when you're working the bar. We ended up leaving shortly after this bs. Place has some real cleaning up to do. read more

Had a 6:30 reservation to catch sunset during dinner, was not seated until after 7pm. Then was tucked in a corner because they were slammed. Drinks took another 30 mins and 3/7 were incorrect. Once dinner was finally served, my baked cod was raw in the middle. Poor experience unfortunately because the location is fantastic. read more

Great time! Food was great and the kids got to swim! What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon!

Place is a dump with poor food quality. Sloppy dopey service. How is this place still operational? Trader Ed needs to reevaluate the operation and his continued presence. read more

Bland basic unseasoned food Dennys has more flavor just depressing food that screams middle of nowhere town its carnival quality food

We always have fun at Trader Ed's! John goes out of his way to make everyone feel special. There is always great food and good entertainment. The servers are always on top of it! read more

Trader Ed's - Fun with friends at Trader Ed's! - Bars Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

What a fun place! It has a pool and live music. They have the best lobster roll with lots of whole claw meat! If you like lobster, get it! Chicken wings were tasty and crispy. Fish and chips: did you see the size of the fish? My sister-in-law couldn't even finish it. She shared it with a friend. Raw oysters from Wellfleet were yummy! I love it with cocktail sauce and extra horse radish. When we were there, there was a promotion from Skrewball whiskey. They were promoting their peanut butter whiskey. Order a mudslide and you get a free T-shirt or metal straw. The family got mudslides and enjoyed them. The drinks were good. I don't drink alcohol but the virgin pina colada was so good, I ordered another one. read more

Staff is always very attentive especially the bartenders Kelsey and Jenna even though it's usually very busy. Food is always great and the atmosphere is awesome! Must go to if in Hyannis for sure! read more

This place has the worst service and if you want food poisoning order the fish! I had to send mine back. It stunk so bad it was obviously old and frozen. My husbands burger was bloody and well it was gross. If you want to spend a lot of money for a horrible time go to this dirty restaurant. Ugh! read more

Big shout out to Trader Ed's! Here on a Tuesday night in the middle of summer at 9:15pm, we ordered frozen drinks. Normally that's a big ask for any place. But I want to commend our server! While she told us it's on the late side for frozen drinks, she went above and beyond and made them for us rather than serving us lite beers. Well done Trader Ed's. You guys are amazing! read more

Trader Ed's - Outside by the fire pit. - Bars Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

The website Menü is very misleading regarding prices. I always check the Menu before frequenting a restaurant. The lobster rolls were listed at $24.99 and when I paid for two rolls, was charged $72.- very disappointing. read more

Fun place. Something for everyone. It's nice to relax and chat to the locals at the bar during the week and then, at weekends,there is live music in the afternoon and a DJ at night. Bartenders are full of energy and a lot of fun. Food is great with .weekly specials offering something different. Most importantly, they have a great selection of beer and it is always cold.....25 years since I first visited.....but still the same great service with a heavy dash of FUN. read more

We went there with a group of 9, The bouncer snapped my friends ID (who is 30 years old). After all this he finally lets us in (after paying a $20 cover) realizing they are cash only I leave to go get cash at the ATM outside. When i come back in, I walk past the lady you pay with and she says nothing because she recognizes us, not even seconds later some guy comes up claiming to be the owner(I know the owner and he is not the owner) and says he will pay us to leave because we are being a problem. F**k Trader Ed's and every other business associated with it. You have asshole staff and you will never ever have our business again. read more

Two people from Seattle walked into a Hyannis bar... and we were immediately welcomed. People made room for us and were very welcoming--we're talking about you, Frank! Our bartenders, Jon and Sarah, were also super friendly, and the owner even stopped by to chat and bought us a round. We had a very fun evening--thanks, everyone! read more

Interesting place! I'm not really sure how I feel about the pool in the middle, but looks like it would be fun! We did not go in the pool this time... the crowd was a weird mix of young rich families and old rich dudes.. ok maybe not but that was the impression...the servers were young, but nice. The food was good and the drinks were better. I don't know if I would go back but it was an experience that I will not forget. read more

The bar owner overtook the DJ and took the mic to say "any guy who gets in the pool will go to jail, and any girl who gets in the pool will come on my boat". After that statement I realized who I was ultimately paying by purchasing an $11 vodka soda in cape cod and chose to leave. The bar owner was buddying up to the police officer who had been called to the scene, and it was obvious that a previously developed relationship had been established. It appears that law enforcement was accustomed to being called to this location and they were not taking the matter seriously by only speaking to the bar owner. Other than that, the bar was weird and was not worth the $10 cover fee. read more

This place is jumpin Sarah and John on the bar are hilarious would recommend this spot in Hyannis

Genuinely confused. Had a tasty lunch with my friend, and while the waitress wasn't amazing (waited 20 minutes to put our drinks in after she stopped by and tossed the menus on the table), we still tipped 20%, because waitresses make no real wage and it's the right thing to do. When we walked to our car, she came storming out after us and screamed "DO YOU GIRLS THINK I WORK FOR FREAKING FREE?" We tried to respond and ask her kindly what she was talking about, but she sprinted back inside. It was so weird- the valet parking guy saw the whole thing and was as dumbfounded as us. Overall do nooooot recommend, food was okay, but based on the entitlement/ lack of service I'd recommend staying away. So many other gorgeous places for a bite on the cape! read more

I love this bar. It is such a fun place to hang out when I'm on vacation. Nice to relax by the pool during the day and then get a bit wilder when the sun goes down and the DJ starts. Lots of characters at Traders, both staff and regulars.....who always make me feel welcome. If you like fun and to have a laugh and a joke, this place is the gift that keeps on giving....in my opinion anyway. read more

Bait and switch oyster special. They do not have 1$ oysters on Sunday. I was told they "don't do that anymore" despite it clearly being on their website. Service was slow and waitresses were rude. Half of the overpriced drinks and food on the menu were "unavailable." Tourist trap avoid this place. read more

Hands down the best bar in town could not ask for a better place between the amazing staff the outgoing owner and the plethora of drinks this place has it all I wouldn't trade it for any other bar #ilovethisbar read more

Trader Ed's - Bars Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

Absolutely fantastic. Great grub and good music !!! (I can only get in if I review it, but it's honest I swear!!)

Fantastic in every way! Bartender Sarah is awesome. Amazing views, amazing vibes. Can't recommend enough

Would not recommend this place to anyone. Food is subpar, drinks are overpriced, and the bartenders don't know what they're doing. Not to mention, was there and saw a girl yakking in the corner (which should speak for itself) and asked a bouncer for some paper towels, who asked why and I told him someone threw up a little, when he asked who/where, I told him I'd take care of it, he didn't like my response, and told me he'd figure it out and that I'm going to be kicked out if I don't tell him. I was so sick of the place I said "sure, kick me out" and escorted myself to the door. I ran into the owner outside and I told him I just got kicked out for trying to help a girl throwing up inside and that he should probably check on her. He said he didn't care and was very inconsiderate. All around bad experience and will never be returning to be quite frank. read more

I am currently sitting in the best bar in Hyannis. Kelsey is the best bartender in town, the bud lights are the coldest I've ever had. Enjoying a mudslide overlooking beautiful views of boats and the harbor, how could you go wrong. The food is great, the staff is even better. If you're a snob, don't come here: they won't want you and neither do I. Great piña colada's, strawberry colada, Cuervo frozen marg - all top of the line. Food it great. Ambiance is better. Reminds me of jimmy buffets bar. Epic. Come by, have a beer grab a burger and tip your bartenders read more

I'm new to the whole review thing but now that I'm on here I just want to say how much I enjoyed the crowd and vibe here. The drinks are good and the service was prompt. We got a few appetizers, a drink and sat right on the water at one of the high top tables. It was a nice experience, we left before the sunset as it was getting busy. We didn't catch the servers name but she was very nice. The parking lot was a bit busy and it was hard to find a spot but we did. We will definitely be back. read more

My friends and I showed up at approximately 10 pm seeing that online it was open till 1 am. When we showed up the door was locked and the employees were still in there so we had knocked, they had opened the door screaming "we're fucking closed!!!" I had mentioned to maybe change the hours online and the girl came out telling me to go to a different bar and that she refuses to change the hours online and slammed the door on us..... i don't think i've ever encountered anyone so rude to customers ..place is a joke. read more

Excellent Lobster Dinner Nice ambience on the harbor beautiful pool you can take a dip great drinks and service will go back again and again

Another great afternoon drinking the coldest Coors Lights on the Cape. Lunch was delicious and the bartender Kelsey is the funniest, most personable, energetic, welcoming bartender. They just need better bar stools! read more

I went here with a friend because I was visiting for a week. Jon and Jenna served me and they rock! Amazing service, love this place and definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good time in Cape Cod! read more
