Lobster Shanty

Lobster Shanty

This is one of the many lobster shacks on the way to Proviencetown on Cape Cod. Route 6 has many good ones to pick from. This is one that is the most visable from the route with boats, lobster traps, and other marine items hanging from the roof. You can't miss it and it's the one the kids always pick out first.

It's large and active. When you enter you see a large boat filled with water and life lobsters. The kids can reach in and pet your lunch. The whole place has a faux naticaul motif. Pretty much what you would hope to find on Cape Cod.

This day Chris and I ordered the ALL THE FISH AND CHIPS YOU CAN EAT SPECIAL. It was very good, but not really fish and chips. It was more a large piece of local fish, heavily battered and fried, served with french fries. They seems surprised when we asked for Malt Vinegar to go with our food. The kids had shrimp and it comes in a plastic pail with a shovel. It was perfect for use at the beach all week to catch crabs.

The service is fine. The waitress liked the kids and had a good time with our table. One of the bartenders took the kids to the lobster tank and told them stories about the lobsters in the tank. I just hate it when my lunch has a first name!

The food is good here. I sometimes suspect some of the other, less colorful lobster pounds down the road may be better, but the kids always want the Lobster Shanty and this is one battle we let them win.
