Had a cup of clam chowder my wife did. Also, we had a great server smiling the atmosphere, and views were great also. Check them out. You won't be disappointed.

This was a busy pier. We stopped just to check it out. I really wanted a shrimp/prawn cocktail And they did not have it on the menu board outside, there was a line with at least 12 people in front of me. We decided to go into the fish market which is on the side of the building and I was able to buy six cooked prawns and a small container of cocktail sauce, for less than 15 I was able to get exactly what it is I wanted. We found a place to sit down and one of the picnic tables they have on the other side of the building, with umbrellas. They have a small little beach area where you can walk down and come back. The fishermen are at the end of the pier, working. I'm glad we stopped.

Beautiful food and excellent views. Seating by the water with lovely scenery (and dog friendly). All sorts of seafood classics, grilled dishes, gluten free fried dishes, great fish tacos, fresh lemonade and ice cream.

Smaller serving compared to others in cape. A little heavier on mayo, but not too much. Larger lobster chunks with single lettuce on a smaller bun. Fair serving size for the price. Bun on smaller side, but still a quality lobster roll. Mkt price 29, strong value. Would highly recommend. They have plenty of ice cream options. Nice view of the ocean

Really good poke bowl, all the soups are great, order ahead to avoid the lines. Nice sunset spot. EDIT: Caribbean seafood bowl is the best So much flavor. Also a good lobster roll!

My husbands new favorite lobster Mac. Great views, get to eat on the beach and near a pier. Very relaxing place to go before, during or after a stay in ptown.

Yes, it’s a tourist spot. But it’s well worth a visit. Where else can you eat fresh oysters on the half shell on a paper plate sitting at a picnic table steps from the harbor? Staff is efficient and friendly enough. Big Thumbs up!

Mac’s on the Pier is an absolute gem—but here’s a pro tip: skip the walk-up counter and head into the seafood market. I picked out a fresh lobster, and the super friendly and patient staff steamed and cracked it for me right there. What sweet people—so helpful and kind! The whole thing cost about a third of what you'd pay at the main counter. I grabbed a seat at the picnic tables overlooking the water, added a cup of melted butter for just 1.50 (yes, really!), and had one of the best meals of my trip. Hands down the BEST lobster deal on the Cape!
