Brax Landing Restaurant

Stopped by for the first time today and had lunch. We were greeted and seated promptly. Got a table with a great view of the harbor. Started with the calamari which was very good. For our main dishes we ordered the fish and chips and the fish tacos. Both were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Denise, our waitress, was exceptional and very friendly.

I always look for new places to go on the cape, this was 30 mins from our hotel. It did not disappoint. We were able to get a table right away. Timing to be greeted, to drinks, apps and entrees was perfect. Our server Nora was great too!

One of the best seafood spots in the game. Elite outdoor seating overlooking a beautiful boat dock, but also a very beachy, familial indoor seating area. Menu is fairly priced and many quality options. Staff was friendly despite the organized chaos of the people waiting for tables. Huge shoutout to the kitchen, food was out immediately. Overall an amazing experience.

We’re Ma residence and do not spend time on cape during the peak season, so it’s a gamble to come here before everything gets busy. Brax does not disappoint. Today I enjoyed the best clam chowder I’ve ever had and paired it with a lobster club sandwich. Spectacular food, great service and a view that makes us love being this close to the cape. Worth the trip.

The Lobster 🦞 Roll and sweet potato fries were just the best ever! We loved it so much. We went twice within three days! Run don't walk to this fabulous restaurant! Sit outside for a different vibe!

Seafood restaurant with outdoor seatings with great harbor view, firepit, but long wait possibly up to an hour for outdoor seatings. They don't take reservations and add 4% convenience pass-through fee to non-cash payment types. -Frozen colada $9.50 -bowl of chowder $9.99 -Stuffed quohog app $9.99 for 1 piece. stuffing seemed underbaked and couldn't taste much clam meat. -Grilled shrimp Pesto $26.99 shrimps were pretty good size and 8 pieces served over linguine tossed in Pesto. Linguine was bland. -Grilled swordfish $30.49 with Cajun seasoning and pineapple mango salsa. Flavorful seasoning. -Oyster sashimi $16.50 Six oysters served with Wasabi, soy sauce, sriracha, ginger. Oysters were good but wish the condiments of Wasabi, soy sauce, Sriracha, ginger came on the side rather than already added on oysters as they were too overpowering and way too salty. -Steak tip app $15.99 Grilled perfect with savory horseradish cream sauce! -Lobster roll with fries $29.99 Big portion and reasonable price for cape standards, but bland for my liking. Interestingly we enjoyed the steak tips the most at this seafood restaurant. Great harbor view makes this place one of our new favorites to return to when in the area again.

Relaxing seaside vibe. Old school. Nice deck view of harbor. Friendly and skilled waitress. Delicious frozen drinks. The chowder had the perfect consistency and seasoning. Excellent! The stuffed quahog reminded me of my childhood. I like mine with tobasco, and they had that. If I had to give one critique, it would be that there were a few pesky yellow jackets, but even they seemed pretty chill - for yellow jackets. So, sit inside if you want to avoid those guys. All in all a totally relaxing enjoyable experience.

It gets quite crowded, but for good reason. It was an enjoyable meal overlooking the boats and harbor. Delicious seafood. We got the fried haddock and scallops.

Three of us stopped in for lunch and were acknowledged immediately and were seated a short time later. Out server was very pleasant and helped with our selections. We ordered a bowl of clam chowder, salmon Caesar salad, fried fish sandwich with fries, and the swordfish sandwich with onion rings. The clam chowder came out pretty quickly and looked great. Plenty of clam pieces and potatoes in a creamy chowder. Very tasty and worth ordering again. The entrees came after I was finished with the chowder. The salmon salad had a large filet of salmon grilled nicely very tender and well seasoned. The fish sandwich had a large piece of cod, topped with a slice of American cheese, served on a bulkie roll fried to a perfect golden brown. The fish was very flaky and fresh. Plenty of fries, again fried nice and crispy, came with the tree. The swordfish sandwich was nicely seasoned and grilled. Very flaky and the cucumber wasabi sauce that came with it was a nice touch. The sauce had a mild flavor with a little kick to it. This is where things fell off a little. The onion rings were not fried very long at all. They could have used a few more minutes in the fryer. I don't know if they were pushing the order out quickly or not but won't be ordering them again. Which is unfortunate as the slices were good sized and the onions themselves were tasty. All in all a good visit, taking out the onion rings. We'll definitely go back again to try other lunch or dinner items. Seating was good as we were able to get a table in the quiet section of the restaurant given how busy they were.

My family ate here recently and enjoyed the food very much. The service was fast and efficient. The atmosphere was rather rustic I would say. You can sit outside with a great view of the harbor or sit inside and have a nice view also. I had the Cape Cod Ruben which is similar to a Reuben sandwich except with fish. It was absolutely delicious. The fish was deep fried crisp and flaky and the french fries and the coleslaw were a fine compliment to this Sandwich. My wife had the shrimp and my son had the steak tips and both enjoyed them thoroughly. We would definitely come here again and hope you get a chance to discover this unique place by the harbor in Harwich Port

Brax's had an incredibly long wait for a Sunday night at 5pm. It was over 40 minutes. There is no room to comfortably wait for this long, especially because it was raining. We were fortunate to find a small nook in the back by the lotto. The restaurant was incredibly and uncomfortably hot. We were sweating while we were waiting and while we were eating. The food came out quickly and our server was quick. However, she was not sure when the fish and oysters had come in. She was also unsure of a few other questions we had about the food. She never offered to find out the answers and just stated that she didn't know. The lobster bisque was excellent. The clam chowder was missing flavor. The lobster roll was good and only $29.99. Their Cole slaw is subpar and watery. My father ordered medium wings and they were incredibly spicy. The oysters had great flavor but getting them off the shell was a messy task and there was no option for sauces. I honestly was a little disappointed with the food for all of the hype and the wait. The looming heat in the restaurant is what really bothered me the most. I guess I was more upset that the hostess offered us outside seating initially when it was about to downpour and told us that we would have no opportunity for seating inside if it did. We had a 3 year old with us and 70 year old parents. Zero thought on her end. I doubt we will return there. We are frequenters of Cape Cod and this is definitely a place I can pass on for dinner in the future and I'm disappointed by that. I really wanted to love it.

Brax landing set a record for us. We had dinner there on Monday and loved it so much that we returned for lunch on Wednesday. This seems to be the rock star of seafood spots on the Cape. Our first impression was the stuffed Quahog which was spectacular. My dinner lobster roll was the size of a football with extraordinary portions of prime lobster. Service is attentive, and you can sense their enthusiasm for working at an eatery that is a major winner.

I absolutely love Brax! They are a consistent and delicious staple anytime I'm home. They have both indoor and outdoor seating - and if you're grabbing drinks you can snag a patio seat off to the side with an incredible view! The staff are super nice and hardworking, and they manage busy cape crowds like champions. If you're heading for dinner in August at 6pm - yes there will be a wait. No you cannot avoid it. Yes it's worth it. Just trust me.

Everything is great, except the food. I felt that the interior was enjoyable to have a meal in, and the service was attentive and friendly. Maybe too efficient in that my food was cleared was while I was quickly in the restroom. I had the lobster bisque, a stuffed quahog, and the fried seafood platter. I found none of them to be up to expectations. The bisque was too heavily weighted towards the alcohol, so much so that even two pats of butter couldn't bring it back into balance. The quahog stuffing was so full of other things that not only was there no clam flavor but it was a muddied jumble. The highlight of the meal came on the fried seafood platter. The fresh cod was so flaky and most, I can absolutely recommend anything with it. Otherwise, the breading on the fried seafood was pretty bland, but at least the seafood tasted like it was not bad nor a freezer special. I was told that the outside seating is a pleasant place to have a meal during the months that it's open, but that's not anything I can speak to. There was an extensive menu and other people seemed to enjoy their food, so maybe worth a try.

Average at best. I admire the business they do, and the environment in which they do it. The service was quick, the view remarkable. The food? At the upper bounds, mediocre. Had the signature burger. Ordered medium-rare presented medium. Beyond that, I had to go looking for flavor in the dish. There were, purportedly, a wasabi mayo and some other spicy sauce on the burger. Traces were found in the penultimate bite, then disappeared again for the close. Go for the view, be taken care of with good service for an eatery making money on the turnover margins during the high season, be underwhelmed by the food. There's a panoply of burgers and fried seafood joints on the Cape; Brax is middle of the road in an environment awash in options.

Brax was awesome! We spent the entire day exploring Chatham and decided head up to Brax for an early dinner, per the recommendations of my in-laws. We walked in and were quickly seated, which apparently was a rarity, as it gets super busy. We sat down at a table close to the water and our waiter was quick to approach us. My husband and father in law ordered frozen espresso martinis and I decided to stick with the original. They came out and the boys were definitely heavier, but they enjoyed them on the hot day that it was. My espresso martini was okay, but not the best I had ever had. We quickly placed our order - my husband ordered the crab cake sandwich and I ordered the fish sandwich. I also wanted to test out a cup of clam chowder, which I was happy I did because after trying multiple clam chowders on the Cape - this was by far the best one. My fish sandwich was large and filling, too. I ended up eating the entire thing and actually wanting to go back for more. Highly recommend this place!

Went here with friends for lunch. Nice view of the water. They were very busy but we got seated right away. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Nothing unique or outstanding but tasty. We had fish and chips, fish tacos, burger, tuna melt, onion rings and chowder. We would go again if in the area but probs wouldn't search it out.

Such a great restaurant!! This one is a classic in the community. The location of Brax is completely gorgeous. It's located right next to the ferry port to Nantucket. It's right on the harbor, with an amazing view of the marina and boats going by. It really couldn't be better. When we went Sunday evening, it was packed. We waited about an hour for our table of eight people. Honestly, I was surprised they could even accommodate us. We were happy to wait. I ordered a Lobster, which was delicious. It's always a treat to get steamed whole lobster dipped in butter. We also got the oven baked scrod, which was amazing. It was baked to perfection. Would definitely order both again!

Let me say first that the service was wonderful. Kat was a fantastic professional, attentive with perfect timing. The fish was delicious. We were having an early Christmas dinner and it really was special. The view is fantastic. The salad was fresh. The shrimp cocktail was a perfect temperature. The swordfish was amazing. It was a very special evening and a very special restaurant. We arrived early, which I might suggest because it does get busy and it's nice to be in that restaurant as the view is really exceptional and you'll get a better table. If you arrive early, as they don't take reservations.

Great food and service but the property could use an interior update! Lobster roll is out of this world and the decks views are lovely.

Our 3rd visit in 4 years and each time we've ordered basically the same thing: oysters and lobster rolls and each time we've enjoyed them. Seems like a blend of locals and tourists and the service is friendly and efficient.

Great place!!! We arrived for a late lunch, around 2pm. The place was packed, we waited in line to be seated. The line moved fast, we were seated within 10 mins. Our waitress was amazing, fast and friendly. We ordered fried calamari, it was ok. We ordered the lobster roll omg it was delicious!!! Best lobster roll I've ever had.

Staff and service were very friendly. Food was solidly good- lobster roll was amazing. Some standard burgers for the kids and the seafood platter was perfect. Bring cash for a 4% discount. The prices are hovering around what old market prices used to be so I didn't feel like I was getting gouged if you're in the area it's a good place to eat. We traveled from Mashpee and thought we could do just as well in our area Without having to travel. If it had been warmer, we would've sat outside and I think this would have boosted our review of the restaurant. We were very disappointed that the top go boxes are still Styrofoam. They could do better.

Dinner during the week before Thanksgiving. It's "off season" so there's no waiting for a table! We were seated immediately as we walked in. Courteous, attentive and helpful staff - as always. We started with the French Onion Soup, that we haven't tasted before. This had to have been the best Onion Soup, ever! Flavorful, loaded with onion, perfectly seasoned (actually tasted the broth rather than just salt - the usual treatment of Onion Soup). The rest of the meal was equally satisfying, all the way through dessert. An excellent dinner.

Always a must visit for my family! Don't let the busy parking lot and potential long wait deter you from visiting. While you wait you can enjoy a drink on the back patio! We have had a handful of things from the menu (clam chowder, fried calamari, caesar salad, lobster roll, etc). We most recently tried the nachos for the first time and they did not disappoint! Great views and delicious food!

I didn't like the food that much. The clam chowder was salty. The lobster roll was full & hearty but under seasoned just like the coke slaw. The spinach & artichoke crab dip had very little crab in it. I liked the pita they served it with but the dip was sub par. The fries were not hot.... I'm just unimpressed.

A longtime local favorite for good reason. Friendly staff and a gorgeous view. Excellent lobster roll and crispy fries every time. On a recent visit the stuffed quahog appetizer, steak tips appetizer, and crispy haddock entree got rave reviews from our party of six. I wish the frozen cocktails were presented with fun garnishes like cherries, pineapple, orange slices, etc. The Godzilla (strawberry Pina colada) frozen drink lacked flavor and was disappointing. I'll stick with a draft beer next time.

This restaurant is great! Definitely a fan favorite in harwich. My family and I have been here for many occasions. It's good for big groups and small! The service here is great we always get our food fast and with a smile. Brax is a super casual restaurant with nice views and good food. The only reason this restaurant is holding me back from giving it a 5 star is that they do not take reservations. For some establishments that's not a problem, but like I said people love brax and there is ALWAYS a line. Usually the wait is quick. They are well staffed in the summer and can serve efficiently. My biggest piece of advice is if you are planning to come to brax and don't want a wait come earlier around 4-5. But overall this restaurant is a super great!

Kind, caring folks. Our light at our table was broken and flickering, and they made the moment right. The manager was so kind and sincere, and I absolutely will be coming back. The waiter was kind and funny too! 11/10 food and service. Kindness goes a long way, thank you!

This was a 10/10 lobster roll! Great seasoning, tons of meat and the bun was toasted & held up perfectly while eating which is hard to come by. Our server was great & the view was excellent, you really couldn't beat it. They have a great outdoor space to sit if you are waiting for your table. Highly recommend Brax!!

When we first arrive on the Cape - one of our first restaurant trips is Brax's Landing for dinner... early or late. We always enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and tasty food on the deck overlooking the water and assorted boats. We can actually feel our stress level going down after sitting down! This time was no different... our waiter was amazing... friendly, very attentive and went out if his way to accommodate my (allergy)needs. I need to watch a handful of foods and sometimes even mentioning it is met with exasperation on the part of the waitstaff. Our waiter was the amazing exception and did not make me feel guilty for having some restrictions. I had ordered a fruit drink when we first sat down and realized after reading the ingredients that one of the main juices was on my list of foods of which I am allergic. The drinks were great. Served right away! The shrimp cocktail and clam chowder appetizers were so good and fresh tasting! The entrees were served fast, hot and delicious. Our waiter never missed a beat and checked on us at least twice and asked if we would like refills on a third occasion. Brax's always seems to find the best waitstaff on the Cape. Thank you to our waiter and the staff at Brax for making our first day on the Cape the start of a terrific week!!

We had a large group for dinner and the staff was wonderful. Wendy was our server and she was great. My husband has food allergies and they took them very seriously. All our dinners were wonderful and the firepit in back was great. Overall it was a very good experience

This place has a great outdoor seating area. The menu options are typical seafood options, but still good. My boyfriend had their famous lobster roll and I tried one of the daily specials, the pan blacked ahi sandwich. We also shared a shrimp cocktail. The server was nice. Service was a little slow, but it was the weekend so they might have gotten busy.

I have gone to probably 1000 restaurants in my life. The service at this restaurant the most upsetting waitress I've ever had in my life. I have never ever not left a tip in my life. This waitress was the most annoying upsetting person ever. Let me start off with saying this is a beautiful little small restaurant with a beautiful view .. it started in the minute We Seated I noticed which she had some type of an attitude, but I didn't want to upset my evening with my wife and two grandchildren so I kept trying to play it off like everything was great. She kept rushing me telling me the kitchen is about to close I had called before I got there and spoke to someone and asked her what time the kitchen close they said 10 PM. We were running late so I called the second time at around 8 PM and asked what time will the kitchen close? They said 10 PM. We got there at 9 PM. She kept on assisting the kitchen was about to close. I got upset and I just ordered an appetizer, a couple of kids meals and a very weak Martini .. she started sweeping up around us at around 9:40 hoping that you wouldn't hit us with the broom, but she finally did ... I finally did confront her and asked her why she was doing all this. What was the big hurry? She started yelling and screaming at us as I woke up to go speak to a manager she was already yelling at me at the manager, I spoke to the manager what's going on here, got me nowhere. I think she was afraid of her too. Anyone who could read the reviews and all the check-in that I have knows that I am a very frequent diner. This was completely unacceptable. What shame I was embarrassed, upset, aggravated, and out $125 with the manager did nothing to offer anything for the aggravation asked me if I wanted to tip I said are you kidding me the first time in my life I've never left a tip ever before even when service is bad I will leave a tip not this time. Shame on you..... you've leave shame to this establishment you should be I long leave clear your head you're dealing with the public. Why so arrogant change positions do something different you obviously don't like what you're doing. And the owners of this restaurant you should be ashamed a we are grandparents who came here with our grandchildren. Look how upset you made us. See what kind of person she is she said thank you for the review.

Red Lobster is better. Boo. Sad limited menu. Wine list very poor place is rundown and need new leadership

Gets a star for location by the water, BUT, the waitress rudely interrupted our conversation 4 times and then complained when she only received a 10% tip. AND, these people refused to seat me until my colleague arrived. All we wanted was a table for two and I wanted a beer and was told to stand out front. SCREW THIS MASSHOLES!

More extensive seafood menu than the typical touristy places. I had the broiled scallops. They were great however next time I asked them to not include the breadcrumbs

Great atmosphere on the patio. Good food and drinks and wonderful service. Frozen Mudslide, Oysters and Cap Cod Ruben.

This is a hopping restaurant! I would recommend calling ahead to place your name - the line was out the door... the is a great patio but the wait was over 1 hour so we ate inside. The service was fabulous . The environment was very very noisy! My bisque and food arrived hot from the kitchen. The bisque was thick with pieces of lobster and a good sherry flavor and my scallops were delicious in a light buttered sauce with a light bread crumb topping. My vegetable were par boiled and very plain and still hard with the exception of the carrot slivers. . That would be my only request for change. My rice pilaf was delicious and very flavorful. The scenery is magnificent and worth staying later to just walk and look at the nature and marina.9

Nice food, we had chowder and lobster rolls. Nice view of the harbor. Buyer beware the menu represent cash prices the credit/debit card prices are surcharged.

We had an outstanding dinner outside on the deck. A late (ish) 9:00 dinner for a family of five. Bloody Mary's (I know at night ) were great!! All appetizers were very good . Hot seafood sampling app, sashimi oysters , and nachos all hit the spot. Baked scrod, a salad with (can't remember grilled scallops ??) on top , and three prime rib dinners. Everyone was thrilled and I personally had the captain cut prime rib and was very happy that I did. Very good Waitress and hostess were awesome as well... thx again Brax!!

Pros: in nice weather there's a patio overlooking the water, also a gas fired fire pit. There's a dedicated keno station and cashier, if that's your thing. Cons: a little pricey, few broiled seafood options. Can get loud. Place was packed, but the line moved pretty quickly. Casual dress, typical kitsch decorating the walls. Had calamari app, found it greatly disappointing. Relatively small portion for the price. Soggy, oily, and an unimpressive batter. The fisherman's platter fared slightly better, but again their batter could use an upgrade, maybe some new frying oil too. Lots of lukewarm fries gives the impression of a large plate, but could havevused more of the seafood components. Note the 4% upcharge for using a credit card is in violation of State law.

HORRIBLE SERVICE We came off a boat charter on a very hot day and wanted to come try the amazing lobster rolls that we had heard so much about. I had a cup of water from the boat and the hostess immediately accused me of trying to bring off site alcohol into their restaurant which I would never do. We had a group who was all dining and spending money at Brax. My youngest son does not like his lobster rolls cold so we gave him permission to go grab a hot one in the stand that was inside the parking lot. He had already eaten a fried shrimp entree at the Brax restaurant. The hostess came to our table while we were dining and enjoying with our family and told my young child that he needed to leave and that she would be throwing his lobster roll in the trash. I could not believe the way she treated us. We will never return back. She was so mean!

Great spot to have for lunch! Great views on the patio. Enjoyed a stuffed quahog and some oysters along with my mule. Everyone enjoyed their food and service was great. Will definitely stop here again while traveling through Harwich.

Crazy busy and too loud for 4 of us in our 70s. Food was average at best. Fish 'n' Chips for $25 is a bit high for fish, fries that were reheated so stale, and small cup of coleslaw. The tables are crammed so tightly waitresses constantly bumped my chair while serving other tables . . . very annoying. Of course, our waitress wasn't very friendly because the busyness of the restaurant, the noise, the clanking of plates and bumping into customers chairs couldn't have made for a pleasant experience for her neither. To top of this forgettable dining out experience, there was a 3.5% credit card charge in full view which is a complete turn off! Incorporate the pricing in your menu so customers are unaware of it. In short, my wife and I will not be returning but Brax Landing will not miss us. They have obviously landed a following of fai loyal patrons.

After trying some lobster rolls on the cape, I had yet to find "that spot." To be fair, it was off season, but I knew I would find some. Brax is kinda near the water and has a beautiful outside seating. We ordered our lobster roll and for $30, it had fair amount of lobster meat. I realized that the bottom part of the sandwich was stuffed with lettuce. They gotta make it look big! Lol. The meat was ok, and not too much added...a bit of watery mayo. It was also served on a soft crust bread, not a brioche, which I prefer. Typical fries and cole slaw as sides. Nothing special. I guess they are know for the onion rings, but it was ok as the batter is not light. The waitress was really nice and our cravings were satisfied, but will to Try again once lobster is in season.

Amazing lobster roll and views! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back!

I tried to give the restaurant a chance to address this on their own rather than posting a review...but alas, they ignored my email and so I am now writing this. Start by saying I have eaten here many times and typically really enjoy my meal as well as the fire pit outside on a nice evening for a drink. However on this occasion, I enjoyed my meal with a friend, right up until the moment we were leaving, and a roach climbed across our table. I pointed it to a server near by and he quickly squished it. The server was young, and working hard, so as not to ruin his night I decided to be on my way (he thanked me for being so calm and nice), and email the restaurant directly. Unfortunately, they never returned my email, and I'll never return to this restaurant. If you want to wonder what bugs are crawling into your food in the kitchen, feel free to try this place!

This was the best lobster roll I've ever eaten. Seriously can't stop thinking about it... also service was excellent and the ambiance was great :) Prices are reasonable (especially relative to other options) & definitely worth it.

Excellent food, perfect location and amazing staff. One of our go to's when we are in cape cod.

Great seafood and service, but even better view of the harbor. We got to see our first seal from our table.

Best Lobster Roll and Calamari good too!! I can't wait to come back I encourage you to check this place out

Great lobster roll and overflowing. Lobster club sandwich was good but lobster didn't feel like the star but still good. Waitress was exceptional. You won't be disappointed.

Worst possible service you can imagine. Management did not plan properly and staffed only one bartender for the entire place on a weekend just as summer was kicking off. Poor girl was fighting for her life. I had sat at the bar thinking I'd get faster service but she was so overwhelmed, everything took ages. If the food was good, it would have made up for it but... it definitely didn't. Was bland and boring. I'm sure everything on their menu comes frozen off a truck.

Excellent fresh seafood with great water views. Wait staff is very efficient and food comes out quickly even when they are busy. Recommend the scallops, very sweet and tender, and reasonably priced.

Awesome food and service! Fried oysters were the best! Nice view too! Nice bar service.

Consistently great and fresh lobster roll, HUGE!! Great views, the patio space is large, so the wait is never as long as it's estimated to be, it's worth the (10ish) minutes. Been coming here since I was a kid, I'm so glad it's still reliable.
