Top Seafood restaurants in Wellfleet, United States

Great service at the bar tonight from Kim as a solo diner in mid-October. This was for years our go-to, always fabulous Wellfleet spot, summer and fall.…Sadly the wicked has gone downhill since Covid. 2020 and 2021 brought the worst server ever (we ended up with him 3 different times and he was completely indifferent and actually rude). This is the first time I’ve been back in 2 years. I ordered the grilled romaine with scallops and light on the dressing. Meal comes out — overloaded with dressing and wilted lettuce. I took a bite of a scallop and it tasted hot and good. I was going to make the best of it and decided that for $30+, this was unacceptable. I showed the dish to Kim, and said let the kitchen decide what to do. The kitchen came back with the same scallops (now cool), still a lot of dressing and cold grilled romaine. I don’t know, I am a pretty decent cook and have prepared grilled romaine many times; this was subpar. Feels like it was sitting around in the kitchen. I’m sorry Wicked, your food has really gone downhill ⬇️. Just my opinion of course. 3 stars for the atmosphere and bartender — one for food.

Great food and lots of it! Perfect sunset view over the water. Easy parking.

We ate at the Wicked O on Saturday night with our 2 small dogs.
The outside patio was lovely, the service was very good and the food was fabulous.
We will definitely go back!

Made dinner reservations for 8 at The Wicked Oyster. The outdoor dining space was magical, the service was attentive but not obtrusive, and the food did not disappoint. Adding The Wicked Oyster to our "must" list for Cape dining.

Food is great. Nearby picnic tables offer a great view of Wellfleet Harbor. I got the cold lobster roll, my partner got the warm, they were both great. Food is overpriced, and I wish the lobster rolls came with fries, but otherwise I recommend this spot! Just... Expect to pay a fortune for your meal!

A good spot for families and friends to hangout with beautiful ocean views, and space for the kids to play and explore(PS-- you can bring your own drinks/liquor if you like). You order the food at the windows, and pick your order up once your number is called. Easy, and super casual. But the food is quite expensive for the amount you are getting, and the staff are not all helpful and accommodating...

We sat outside and loved the atmosphere. We tried the lemon risotto with scallops and the halibut ... both were excellent. Our server was friendly ... for dessert we had the creme brulee and key lime cup ... both were delicious.

Posting the photo from my yelp review considering the owner is calling me a liar for my honest review of rude service received at the establishment. Below is my honest review:

I've frequented this bar/restaurant over the years and the service has just gotten worse and worse. Servers have no courtesy or common manners. Told the host we wanted just drinks and apps, not a problem with them and then proceeded to wait for 45 minutes for a table on a Thursday evening. Ordered calamari as we decided on a round of drinks, when the app came out our server Jackie (with an extreme attitude) told us we HAD to order meals in order to sit in their restaurant. We responded by saying the host told us it was fine to get drinks and apps. She then said no that's not acceptable and came over to drop the check immediately after, even though we were about to order a round of drinks. She then proceeded to walk by staring at our table with another server laughing and watching us. Very immature and inappropriate service. I totally understand if there is a restaurant policy, but that should be stated up front before having a party wait and without an attitude.

When you arrive at the restaurant you have to pay 30$ for a voucher/parking which you can use for paying your food. Someone brought us to our table and we waited almost 20min until someone came to take our order.
The food wasn’t good, easy fried and served with plastic flatware and on plastic plates. It wasn’t worth the money.

We just ate at The Wicked Oyster on a beautiful night at their outside patio. Karolina our waitress was wonderful, and paced everything perfectly. We are foodies and our meals were perfect. We had the homemade chips with crabmeat, salmon over risotto, scallops ,and I got the seafood stew. All done to perfection and hot. Great meal!

Great staff except for the Manager (Michelangelo) who had absolutely no judgment and killed our experience. After spending a couple of hours on the outside deck with our dog and spending a few hundred dollars in food and clothing, the Manager told us that we had to leave immediately on account of us having a dog and the outdoor deck was closed. Eventhough the staff offered a last call, the Manager came around to tell us that we couldn't pursue our evening outside or have a last call because the deck was closed. He said 'if we do it for you then we have to do it for everyone else', meanwhile we were the only customers left on the deck!

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

Food is mid, no ventilation inside so it’s so hot and humid and obviously outrageous prices. They LITERALLY serve you with paper plates and cups and plastic forks. For being near the beach and charging so much they should AT LEAST get some real plates and cutlery. Oh, and there was a hair in my fish sandwich. So disgusting, but they were happy to make a new one at least. Please make your cooks wear hair nets. Thanks

A very mixed experience. The food was good but they skimped on the appetizers. For example, we ordered the mussels and they gave one piece of bread with it. What food we did get was good. The service on the other hand was terrible. It took forever for our waitress to come over at first and that was essentially the last time we saw her. She never refilled waters or checked backed in. I’d recommend staying away based on what they charge for what you get.

The scenery is beautiful, and the burgers are delicious — but the crunch bowl with grilled chicken totally changed my life!

Fun place to have some yummy seafood!

We had fried shrimp (delicious batter) and lobster mac and cheese (awesome). The clam chowder wasn't my favorite, but it could be my own personal preference.

A little pricey, but considering the location, it was justified.

Friendly staff and a great spot right by the water.

My only suggestion would be to have more small tables rather than fewer large tables. Seating was somewhat of a challenge because there were small groups sitting at large tables; folks were willing to share the table, but it would be more convenient to have a few more tables for 2-3 people.

$30 for parking that gets reduced or reimbursed but only for food.
Don't ask to be seated at an actual table if you're just having drinks and appetizers. For that you have to have full meals for everyone. So the "just drinks and apps" folks are relegated to relatively small SRO bar area.
I don't know what the food is like. We left after our second failed attempt for the four of us to get one of the many open tables.

Food was very good. Make a reservation u need it. The pan fried sole was amazing definitely going back. My son loved the burger

Fun casual atmosphere. Great casual seafood (shrimp tacos). But: there’s no view except maybe a little from the bar, parking is very hard to get, it’s not fine dining and more like a fun bar with good food.

Remember, you share a tiny parking lot with a popular local beach. When it’s full, it’s full. Tip: come after 2 PM on a week day. Swimmers and lunch diners start to leave.

While getting to the restaurant was challenging the food was great. I had to park up the street at the beach parking and pay $30 to park. It is a cool beach atmosphere and a very popular restaurant. My kids loved going down to the beach and saw some seal’s swimming in the water. Staff was quick and friendly. It is exactly what you picture for a beach restaurant.

Overpriced for lunch. We got fish sandwiches. The portion was small and doesn’t come with any sides. Just a few fries or a tiny coleslaw would have improved our meal!! Good sandwich otherwise. Pretty place to eat right by the water. Friendly and helpful staff.

Definitely lived up to the hype! We stopped here for lunch on the way up to Provincetown. We arrived right before it opened, and people were already lined up to get in. We were charged $30 for parking, but then given a voucher to put that $30 towards our meal. We were seated immediately and the food came out fast. Everything was delicious - the oysters, lobster roll and fish and chips were all very tasty. It was nice to be able to sit outside and then walk over to the beach after our meal. I would highly recommend it!

Considering its run like a Family business, it's actually not bad.

Service was good and dinner was upto par. Oysters had a creamy smooth and silky finish. Clean taste. However no chopped onions or tobasco. It comes with a vinegarette, seafood sauce and a small wedge of lemon.
Main course, went for the fillet beef mignon. Can't fault the cook on the meat, the jus was ok... But the seasonal vegetable selection could have been better.

Creme brulee had a nice burnt sugar crisp on top, but I'm not a big fan of flan style creme brulee but rather those from a deep ramekin. A fresh berry or two with a sprig leaf of mint wouldn't have gone amiss and better than the 2 pips of whatever it was placed on top. Traditionally I would have liked a home made shortcake to be served with it. But each to thier own.

We were seated outside, point to note- book for indoor seating or bring plenty of mozzie spray, cause they will eat you alive. There's nothing set up outdoors to minimise thier constant presence.

I was further taken aback by the attitude of the other workers at the end of the evening when they were moaning about something that occurred earlier. Certainly spoiled the mood and left a bit of a bitterness to what was essentially a nice evening.

Good food, with plenty of room for improvement tho and perhaps a touch of finesse required at key touch points.

Really good poke bowl, all good soups, order ahead to avoid the lines. Beautiful sunset spot. EDIT: Caribbean seafood bowl is the best!! So much flavor.
