My wife and I ate there twice. The first evening I ordered Lobster Newberg. Skip it; the cheese overpowers the flavor of the little bit of lobster served. The price should have been fair warning. The fried seafood platter, on the other hand, was FANTASTIC. Both the quality and the quantity was excellent. So, the next evening, we each ordered... More

Food was no good.service was mediocre. Great way to clean the colon with the nasty lobster claw you will take the next morning.

This is a great place for lunch. The lobster and scallop rolls were delicious. The coleslaw sides were good too. The service was good and the place had a nice nautical feel, decorated with nets, bouys and lobster pots.

Great place to go for seafood on cape cod. Food was fresh and good. Casual restaurant with friendly service. Go here every year and never disappointed.

We have been going to the Lobster Claw for years - this is a small restaurant right off the rotary in Orleans where you can go for a consistently good meal. The lobster salad sandwich is great, and both the potato salad and coleslaw it comes with (if you don't want french fries) are just as good. Good clam chowder.... More

You go there because it is consistently good. The food is excellent. Some of the best fried clams on the cape. The atposphere is a throw back to the sixes, service is friendly and effiecent Prices are consistent to seafood places on the cape. Here you do get real plates and silverware. Not plastic. The drinks are a bargin.

Every year we go out to dinner for our last night on the Cape; there are 11 of us. We've tried many family restaurants and about every couple of years return here. It's great for families with young kids--the decorations, the friendly waitstaff, the gift shop where the kids can buy small souvenirs. The food is pretty good, not great.... More

Very clean, boathouse motif. The clam chowder is a must, along with the fried lobster. Get there early and save money on these great items! Servers are friendly and there isn't a long wait after ordering. Be sure to visit the gift shop in the far end of the restaurant.

I'm not a fried food eater usually, but I could not resist ordering the clam strips and homemade onion rings. I wasn't disappointed. My friend had steamed mussels, which she said were delicious. The menu is extensive. The restaurant theme nautical. A fun place to eat while in Orleans.
