It was great food – but it would earn 5 Stars if not everything was served in single use. The sauces for the shrimps have had a hint of horseradish, which I truly appreciated and gave an awesome taste. The salad and lobster roll was great as well. Overall, great food – but please move to a more environmentally friendly solution for the dishes themselves.

Nothing says “It’s Summer “ like dinning at one of my Go To Places, Summer Shanty! I have once again chosen The Summer Shanty as my favorite place to be to get THE MOST out of the The Summer Solstice, longest day of the year.

The Summer Shanty was one of the best places we visited in Cape Cod. The food was fresh and really good, so was the service. The cocktails are delicious. Try the seafood platters!

What a wonderful find. Good lobster. Swordfish was delicious. No wait. Friendly service. Great view. Can’t say enough good things about this place. French fries were mediocre. But there aren’t really any good French Fries on the cape.

We have been here before and had a great experience. We came here today for lunch. We had an amazing experience again. The atmosphere on the deck is top notch. Our server was beyond friendly and helpful. I’m sorry I don’t remember her name. I had the white sangria and my husband had a local IPA. We shared a bowl of clam chowder for an appetizer. It was delicious, creamy with the perfect ratio of clams to potato.

I wondered in on HOT,busy Wednesday afternoon. I was greeted by the staff at the front door and told them I’d like to sit at the bar. The bartender was a sweet girl named Ashley. She was a delight. She made sure that my water was full along with my cold Corona. I had some awesome scallops that tasted like they were just caught this morning. When in the Dennis area it’s a must stop. Ask for Ashley

Fun little restaurant on the Bass River. We had their fried onion petals (onion rings) fish and chips and their small lobster roll. The food was good. Lobster roll wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but they gave a generous portion. The coleslaw was unique and delicious with cucumbers in it. Service and atmosphere were great. We sat inside because it was rainy and overcast but their patio seating would be a great place to enjoy the river.

There were no seats available outside, so we sat inside. I am not a fan of of sticky chairs or tables.

Beautiful location, food was excellent and service from Britney was efficient and very friendly. Like other reviewers, one star off for the excessive use of single use plastics. Everything is served in or on plastic and given it is such a beautiful area it seems an awful shame to generate such a huge amount of trash.
