Fodor's Review:

With an old boat in front, peeling paint, and a bamboo-lined walkway leading to the order windows, this local favorite across from Easton's Beach is as casual as it gets. Fried seafood, steamed clams, clam cakes, cold beer, and a great raw bar keep the lines long here in summer. An upstairs bar serves baked, chilled lobster, and outside seating is available.

We had heard great things, but were terribly disappointed. The food is mediocre at best. There are better seafood "shacks" everywhere on Cape Cod. The service rating is kind of irrelevant for a place like this, but the staff was friendly and food ready quickly.
