Good location a lot of parking nice view of the water. Lobster was good, steamed and reasonably priced because it's basically a self-serve place. Picnic tables to sit by.
Had lunch here as weather was too bad to eat at Mac's on the Pier. Light lunch for me/ just a cup of clam chowder. Husband had steamers & a beer. My soup was very tasty but on the thin side. Tasted husband's steamers which were great!! Big menu including sushi, if interested . I'd go back again if in the area.
The food and vibes here are incredible. I got the dumplings, tempura cauliflower, and sushi. Everything was 10/10. I highly recommend the cauliflower, it was crispy but not too greasy. And I loved the sushi roll with crab and Granny Smith apples. So good!
There are several locations in the area, but they're all great! The original is Mac's Shack in Wellfleet near the pier (no reservations, but a big bar to hang out in while you wait for a table). Their sushi is really great, but there are plenty of other things on the menu too. My favorite dishes are the spicy tuna mango martini, bang bang cauliflower (tastes like a combo of sweet, spicy, and soy), and the ritz-crusted bluefish with garlic mashed and creamed spinach!

Excellent service from our server. Excellent food and variety. Fun outdoor eating experience. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for good seafood that is moderately priced. The oysters were delicious and local!
Consistently the best place for sushi in the area! Everyone I come to the cape I eat here. Service is always fine and not why I come. Come early for dinner it fills up fast. Parking can also be a bit hard but they do have a fairly big lot. Also love the local oysters and vignette dressing!
What a cute little place to eat in Wellfleet right near the water. Most of the restaurants was in a heated tent with string lights in the center. This place has all of the general New England seafood. We started with local oysters which were delicious and honestly some of the best I've had. Then I had the fish and chips which were perfect for dinner. The fish was perfectly cooked and only lightly breaded. I'll for sure come back the next time I'm in wellfleet!
Solid seafood spot. Great beach vibe. Raw oysters were on point. My Da Nang Cocktail was delicious. Mussels very good. Lobster roll was meh.
