The staff was great and so friendly ! There was so much lobster in the Lazy Man Lobster dish and sooooo tasty! The clam chowder is also amazing! I wish I could learn how to make it with their recipe ????

Mojito was very good, really sweet.Chowder was delicious and my boyfriend loved the ahi tuna fish tacos . For my meal I got the appetizer fried clams , which was plenty of food! Overall great restaurant

The clam chowder is DELICIOUS! It's a must! I had the shrimp po boy , it was good, the cole slaw was yummy, the skinny fries were really good and we're not over whelming.

Try the Harbor Shack for a more casual atmosphere . The lobster roll and clan chowder are awesome as promised, award winning in fact. Park in the lot across the street.

Don Kelley

Great food, fabulous view of Hyannis Harbor . Convenient valet parking (free). Indoor and outdoor dining and an outdoor bar with live music .

Another great time at the Black Cat. From the food to the great attitudes of the staff (thank you Elizabeth) what a great dinning experience.

Have just added the Black Cat as a must place to eat while on the Cape. Ask for Alex if you can.

Kim Dale Dougherty

Everything we ate was delicious!!! The Quahog, the lobsters , the fried clams , the salad with a vanilla house vinagrette!! Yum!!

open year round. the lobster roll is huge and only appears to have too much mayo (def not really the case). I just prefer the bun a tad smaller and more buttery.

Lindsay Listanski

Cool spots to enjoy a drink while enjoying a nice breeze off the water. Loved their fries . Popcorn shrimp was decent and chowda was good.

Moit Las

Clam chowder was great, also had oysters which were also good.

Stephen Smart

The Fish & Chips were great! The thin cut fries are also a nice touch

Sandra Locascio

It seems like every restaurant on The Cape has an award winning lobster roll ...this one is the real deal

Bonnie Pezzolesi

When you only need lemon and save the tartar sauce for the fries you know the fish is fried right

Pamela Hall

Don't miss the clam chowder . Best I've had in NE. Steamers were deliciously sweet and cooked perfectly. Outdoor porch with beautiful backdrop. Ahhhh....
