Alex Rainert

The line is almost always long because this place is great. The pro move is to send someone from your party inside to grab beers for you to slug while you're waiting on line .

Alex Rainert

You like good seafood ? Clams , shrimp , lobster . Whatever. Just come here. Order a ton of food, stuff your face & leave happy. If you've still got energy, grab an ice cream and play some mini golf . Pow!

Mike Koshko

Fish & Chips and onion rings were the best ever. Skip the bar ; not worth it. One of the best seafood places on the Cape.

Ali F.

Order a hot lobster roll with drawn butter and get the fries on the side. A pint of clam chowder is perfect for sharing. And don't overlook the coleslaw side they give you - it's delicious!

J Crowley

The Mecca of fried seafood in Cape Cod . Go splitty-splitty on fried shrimp + clam strips . The *small* onion ring is the size of Mount Everest. Clam chowder so good it's worth eating in summer.

Was put off by the overall mood of insurrection

Alex Rainert

Get yourself one of their delicious beers (Dale's Whale Tail Pale Ale if they've got it) and get a large. You'll get a fancy glass that'll get you cheaper refills *and* you get to take it home!

Dan Nahill

The lobster roll may be pricey , but the meat is sweet and succulent, especially in the warm lobster roll . Pair it with their onion rings , the onion equivalent of pulled pork . You can't go wrong.

Sara Oke

My husband loves fried seafood so we have to go every time we are in town . Expect long lines during peak season. It’s good but I wouldn’t be heartbroken if we missed a season

Jake Smith

No place to sit? Keep walking, the seating area in this place is humongous. Get some fried seafood and a couple of blonde ales , top it off with mini golf and ice cream .

Renee G

A great stop if you are biking on the rail trail ! We stopped Memorial Day Weekend and the line was out the door! Hands down the best onion rings I've ever had! CASH only !

Victoria Harvey

veggie burger wasn't that great but my dad had the steamers and loved them! i've been coming here for years and it's by far the best seafood the cape has to offer

Terence Chan

Hate that it's cash only ;portions are big.Skip calamari.Clam strips are good. Onion rings are ok.I liked the fries more.Save room for ice cream (Milky Way )lobster roll better @sesuit harbor cafe 3.5/5

Birdy N.

My family loves the seafood here (like the fried lobster and clam strips ). I am vegetarian and come here for the salads , ice cream , and mini golf !

Jonathan Tashima

If you're in the mood for salad but want lobster too, I highly recommend the Wedge Salad with a Lobster a salad add-on. Delicious! Bacon bits + lobster = TOTAL WIN!

Mike Seilback

Can't get a much better lobster roll . (And if you are up for it, you could get ice cream & play minigolf afterwards)

Val Pucilowski

Honestly the seafood was great, but my favorite part of the meal was the fresh and not-too-sweet cole slaw .

Garrett Parrish

Awesome food! A bit expensive but definitely worth the experience. Great atmosphere and get the crab cakes (they are actually made of crab ).

Susan Jung Grant

Accessible from the Cape Cod Rail Trail bike path and equipped with air pump and racks. Biking here mitigates the guilt of overindulging in ice cream , lobster and fried seafood !

Mallory Leahy

Best onion rings ! Lobster roll is like eating a hole lobster . So much! I have never had a bad meal here!

Kristine Gersonde

Beat seafood on the cape! The fried Loster is a must. Lots of bite size pieces of tail meat. Delicious! Get here early or off peak times.

Linda Collins

Long lines after 5:30 but worth the wait - great drinks at the bar - fun mini golf - closed in winter - great fish and ONION RINGS! Very popular and the best place in town for fried food!

jake furst

best onion rings in the world. I get either the steamers or the fried scallops , which in my opinion blow the fried clams away.

Ginger Poulson

If you like Lobster Rolls , you need to try these ones! Especially the drawn butter ones...absolutely fantastic Cape Cod lobster !

Jay S

Lobster special is the best deal for ~$22: comes with steamed 1.5 lb lobster , cup of chowder , and corn . Add onion rings and you're set

Jarid Kemink

Never miss a trip to Arnolds when I'm in cape cod . Such an amazing lobster roll plus many other great seafood entrees!

Bill Fortier

Raw oysters , stuffed clams and fried seafood platter are all amazing!!

Rich Kearney

Everything! Personal favorite is fried scallops .

Ed Hourigan

beer and seafood . It's cash only though!

Ryan K

Best black & white shakes on the Cape

Timothy

A little over priced for what it is, which is a tourist trap. The food IS good but it doesn't blow you away. You can do just as well at a number of places for less money.

Carrie Thomas

Among my top ten restaurants , period. Best onion rings around, delicious fried seafood and lobster rolls .

Alexandra P

Hot lobster roll , steamers for the table plus Green Monster ice cream = you're having a great freaking day.

Indira Kumar

Best seafood EVER! Lump crab cakes dinner is unbeatable

Paul Singer

Pretty much anything seafood . You can't go wrong

Ann Phelan

The lobster roll was an epic fail but the onion rings looked divine!

What's Good Here

Warm lobster roll in butter. Great for lunch !

Francisca Nunes de Almeida

Very good but be prepared to wait in line ! Highly recommended!

J Crowley

Lobster Roll !

Jeanette Mukai

The lines get really long, so be prepared to wait. And once you're in, eat EVERYTHING.

Amy Newton

Everything is amazing! They do fried seafood to perfection.

Vik Chhabra

Lobster prices drop like a rock after Labor Day. Order small side of fried whole bellies and skip the fries .

Clarissa Fuller

Their Milky Way ice cream is to die for and mini golf is a great course

Emily Bauersfeld

Excellent shellfish and clam chowder . Definitely worth the wait.

Frances M.

Amazing, if not the best, deep-fried seafood , raw bar , & onion rings !

Peter Dinuovo

The best lobster rolls and clam strips ever!! A must for those who are Ptown bound!!!

Angie B.

The best onion rings , awesome fried shrimp . Get there a few mins before they open or else be stuck in a long line that forms quickly

Barbara Bailey Smith

Don't miss it! Great food! Worth a bit of a wait for lunch

Joan Dolder Gifas

Sit all the way in back by the mini golf . Water view and breezy .

Long

By far the best seafood period! Arnold's jumbo lobster roll ????

Great beach but arrive early! Lot is small and fills up very fast. One car out, one car in once full but rangers allow groups to head in while one waits to park. Lighthouse views are fantastic! - Joanne V.
