Epic Oyster

We had an excellent experience at Epic today. Our server Mel was very friendly, the food and drinks were delicious and the patio setting was comfortable.

The food was mediocre and expensive. The steak was supposed to be Kobe steak, but i highly doubt it was. I've had kobe steak, and this wasn't anything like it.

July 2025. This restaurant came highly recommended from two different people. They raved about the place. Not a whole lot of seafood on the menu so we both chose the lobster casserole. Quite honestly, the lobster was pretty chewy - the claw decoration was the best part. With some asparagus and a few potatoes it didn't warrant the price in my opinion. What was amazing to us....we spent over $100 on our meals and when I ask for salt and pepper shakers - they brought out pepper in a small paper container (something like you would fill ketchup in at a fast food) and said "we don't have any shakers". What !!!!

Good seafood fare. I gave it four stars because the preparation was very traditional (see below about the lobster bisque). The service was AWESOME! The oysters were very good and like all good oyster places they arranged them in order and gave us a printed list so we wouldn't forget immediately after they told us. The tuna poke was also good and I loved how you could customize the ingredients. The lobster bisque was good but very creamy which I think is how it's traditionally made. It had a good amount of lobster chunks in it. Nothing wrong with the preparation but it's neither my favorite nor does it compare well with how some others have reimagined lobster bisque. The cauliflower fried rice was a little bland too but maybe that's how it was meant since rice is usually bland.

Seafood was absolutely wonderful. Service was great. Perfect place for special occasions. So glad north Falmouth has this.

This is my review of 2 visits from Epic Oyster. My experience was so great the first time that I had to return within the week! The food here is fantastic. There is an interesting twist of Cape Cod, Asian and Portuguese influence in the dining options. The oysters are mostly local and come with a listing of your selections so that you can refer to the list while tasting them. Wine selection is great and cocktails are fun and unique. Poké bowls are generous and delicious. Filet mignon and lobster Oscar was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and was served with what I can describe as something between a thick potato chip and a French fry. If you are not a super fan of truffles, the truffled crab roll might be on the strong side.Lobster Gyros and fried oysters were so light and delicious. Lastly, while Epic does not offer desserts, they have a fun free ice cream cart in summer with small ice creams or popsicles. This place is a true Cape Cod gem. Note• I am not sure why there were negative comments about the food portions at Epic Oyster. I thought every dish was perfectly portioned and the price reflected the quality ingredients they use. They do serve everything in thick cardboard containers that can be carried out. I think it is important for people to recognize that the actual restaurant is a train car so the kitchen is most likely extremely small. Only eating utensils are metal, which seems reasonable with the amount of dishwashing they need to do to serve their customers. Don’t let any of this keep you from going. There’s a ton of outside seating and reservations are obtainable online if you plan in advance.

If you’re looking for the best oysters in town, look no further. The atmosphere is simple and pleasant. The staff is attentive and approachable. The rest of the food is wonderful too…but, you come for the oysters…and, they deliver!

Love this place. Come once a year and it never disappoints. Atmosphere is really cool. Usually sit at the bar and the bartenders and other staff are super friendly. Never have had a bad experience! Get the bang bang shrimp and oysters!! The food never disappoints.

Sat at the bar, Robyn was our bartender and she was awesome. Everything was good. Portions are huge. Appetizers short ribs were easily a meal. Best kale soup I have ever had! Great dirty martini. Oysters were excellent, and local, but $$$, for having Oyster in the name, e assumed there would be "by the dozen" or other incentives to eat more, but just a high per oyster price. That said food and service was great.

Best oysters I've ever had, lots of brine, super cold and freshly shucked to order by the owner right in front of me. The lighting at the bar is dim and sexy. My Martini was perfectly prepared, filled to the brim. I also ordered the amazing pork ribs, better than the best Chinese restaurant. I usually start here and then head to Bucatinos just up the road. Excellent service.

Great food! Great service! Cool room! Great beer selection. I will be back whenever I'm on Cape

Best oysters I've had this season. Staff were great and accommodating..The ambience was wonderful for an off season visit. We'd go back in a heart beat.

We enjoyed the food here. Especially the raw oysters and clams. The waitress was very helpful in selecting local varieties of oysters. It was a busy night there but they fit the two of us in. Nice patio dining.

Ten times better than my first visit a few years ago. The oysters are terrific, excellent presentation, cocktails were very good and meals were outstanding. Our server, Jesse, was great; attentive and knowledgeable.

The staff is great, the food is great! Don't expect to get the same thing there often, they are always changing their menu. The after dinner cookies are delicious! The only negative is that some of the tables are a little small for four people, but it's worth it!

Wow. Cute n funky spot. Oyster open'r with a house bubbbly. Black cod for me, Peruvian? steak dish for my son. Perfectly seasoned and presented. Attentive and gracious service.

So went there with a big family - no kids hi- chairs or kids menu - though they had items for kids- BBQ ribs were inedible - so hard to chew and barely able to cut with a knife- Shrimp cocktail was borderline -smelled fishy and chewy- Spending nearly $800 for our families meal - Nothing epic about the experience other than our waitress who was great. I'm not usually this negative but really disappointed with no consideration for young kids and poor meal.

We have been in this area for decades and never visited this small restaurant until recently. It has a few small tables so plan to head to the bar. Everyone is prepared to engage in light conversation. The name should say it all.. but they are as well skilled in fish dishes. The mahi mahi was blacked with broccoli rabbis. Yacca and papaya. It was commented that it was the best meal ever served in Falmouth. The roasted oysters were cooked to perfection. Oyster roll was very tasty. Would substitute the chips if possible. House white wine from Italy was very good. Place is popular so get reservations

Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Thank you Jay for making our first trip here memorable. Started with dirty martinis which were full to the brim. Three different oyster in half shell were clean and fresh. Loved the special vinegar with extra spices and onion. Will try the lightly fried oysters next time. Everything salmon was fresh, well spiced and great veggies. The lobster bisque in bread bowl was delicious. Bread was crisp and fresh. I ate the whole thing and taking the leftover salmon home for lunch tomorrow. Was worth the money and some.

Atmosphere is super cozy and casual with outside and patio seating. Nice drink menu- I enjoyed a crisp glass of white and a freshly squeezed Paloma/mint drink. Oysters are some the best I've had- so fresh and flavorful. My miso cod was outstanding- great flavors, fresh, tender. We also ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl, and scallops- all delicious. Service was friendly and we didn't feel rushed. Had to take one star away as portion of my cod was extremely small for a $40 dish and overall the entrees are definitely pricey. ($40 average). I will absolutely return!

This little restaurant shack gave my family and I the best meal of vacation, with classic cape cod seafood taken up a notch. We started with cocktails, my personal favorite being the key lime pie frozen rum drink. My mom wanted oysters but didn't know much about the varieties, so our waiter picked out a delicious assortment for her. I enjoyed the "mostly crab cake" and my friend loved her seafood bisque. For dinner, we got truffle lobster rolls and a butter poached crab roll. The meat was so fresh and rich; I'm picky about crab and thought it was amazing! The truffle lobster roll was especially decadent. I'm still a little nervous about indoor dining, and forgot to specify that I wanted an outdoor table when I made my reservation. They were very accommodating, and I was pleased to find out that all of their tables were outside and well spaced out!

Customer service is and always has been extremely low at this restaurant. The owner needs therapy before a customer or staff member gets hurt.

Great dinner! 8:30 reservation. Arrived early. Yummy cocktails by the fire pit. They sat us early in a cute little alcove all to ourselves. Oysters on the half shell were perfect. Oyster po'boy and "everything" salmon that was cooked perfectly. 5 stars. Great place with character tucked away in N Falmouth village

Awesome food, maybe the best in Falmouth, but lots of MICE we're running around. Up to 3 sighted simultaneously. The waitress chased some away, but we still paid full price. Ugh.

very good food. I had the cod and every bite was delicious. excellent service. a little rustic, but so what? a real gem.

Friends who know the restaurant scene on the Cape suggested Epic Oyster, so we knew it would be good, but wow, everything was perfection. The service was 5-star as was every single meal our group had. & the company was perfection : ) I just made a reservation to take our kids who are on Cape for the weekend. Can't wait to share this gem with them.

Only been once but meal and vibe was amazing although probably too expensive for many folks

A must when in Falmouth Their flash fried stuffed quahogs are THE best! Love sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender I am not an oyster lover but my sister is and always gets fresh local oysters as well as other locally sourced seafood. Inside or outside you will get great service and delicious food

They have drastically changed their menu. They used to have some outstanding apps that frankly were hard to find elsewhere. Not sure why, but they no longer have crab legs, lump crab, lobster rolls, crab rolls, seafood towers etc etc. They also used to have 8 or so varieties of Oysters, there were only 3 when I went. The new menu and the food is fine, just not as special as it used to be. Honestly I wish they would post their menu online because I would have known what I was getting into. Just disappointing as this place used to be incredible and had so many seafood options.

This place is awesome. Real local ambiance. Oysters were pretty fresh. Haha. Not kinda fresh. Good was awesome Greek salad was over the top. Definitely recommended

I dined solo last night (Wednesday) at Epic Oyster (70 Country Rd, North Falmouth) as this place has been on my "must try" list for a while. Since the place is small I made a reservation for 5:45 and there were plenty of seats available at the long bar when I arrived, so I took one. Epic Oyster has a heated outdoor patio, a small side dining area and the bar, so make a reservation (easy to do on their website) especially if going on a Friday or Saturday. I would describe it as charming. I was impressed with the creativity of the menu (quite a few daily specials) as well as with their well-curated selection of wines by the glass, innovative cocktails, and mocktails. I started with a cocktail and eventually moved on to a glass of white wine. The vibe at the bar is somewhat reminiscent of a traditional oyster bar in New Orleans minus the crowds and the noise, at least that was the case last night. The multiple bartenders were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I started with a classic, the Oysters Rockefeller. Large, plump oysters, baked well with the traditional toppings (perhaps a tad too much spinach). As good as Antoine's in the Quarter? No, probably not, but mighty close. Very tasty. Next, I wanted fresh raw oysters and even though they ranged in price from $3.50 to $3.75 I ordered six--three Megansett (from N. Falmouth) and three Truro Pearls (which I had never eaten before). These were fabulous and exactly as described in terms of their taste profile on the menu. While I had come in to have their miso black cod dish--which I had seen on a number of the menus for Epic available online--there was no black cod available. On the recommendation of the bartender I ordered the pork schnitzel instead which came with a delicate beurre blanc sauce, flavorful white rice, and charred broccolini. [This was on the daily special side of the menu where there were other attractive options as well.] The pork was crisp on the outside as it should be, but still moist and tender on the inside, no need for a knife to cut into this. A really well-balanced, flavorful, and attractively presented dish. A comfortable, relaxing, and tasty meal, definitely worthy of a return visit.

A cool little spot in North Falmouth. I'm not that into oysters, but I do love the grilled oysters on the menu. The menu has more wine and drinks than food, but the food is real good. The drinks are huge and strong. My kind of place.

epic is epic. seats at the bar. bottle of wine. oysters, ribs, lobster empanadas. heaven on a Friday night.

Great oyster selection (as the name suggests) and incredibly friendly waitstaff. They have a small wine list but it's a good one! We also got the stuffed clams , which were delicious. We would definitely come back if we were in the area!

Favorite new spot on the Cape! Cool space, varied menu that always delivers. Oysters taste fresh and eager to make your day.

Had oysters and funny lobster meat Chinese style wanton, ending up very bad diarrhea a few hours later. A waitress is pleasant but food quality was so bad even they are priced not so cheap. We were taken to outside patio for dinner, where I got bites on my legs and I regret I chose this restaurant..

Wow!! Absolutely fantastic!! I had a seafood Cobb salad. 3 gigantic shrimps, half a lobster tail and crab. My boyfriend had a Greek salad with blackened mahi mahi, which was fantastic. My friend had the burger, which she has had before there, as she is a frequent flyer. She see as us it's her favorite burger in the cape. Drinks were spot on. Staff was so nice and friendly. Will definitely go back when we visit again.

Amazing oyster selection obviously. Everything is top notch and service is too Bar gets a little warm but otherwise cool vibe

No pictures to share because everything was so good it disappeared quickly! I love their oysters-- so meaty and delicious. And hands down the BEST Bloody Mary ever! I will be back, it's an amazing little spot. I wish I lived closer.

Ate here shortly after it opened a few years ago (perhaps 4). Three of us hate oysters and martinis at the bar and was OK as it had just opened. Six of us went back 2 years ago and what a surprise. Place was "slammed". Had reservations but we ended up sitting at classic wood picnic table with slat bench outside. Ordered martinis, wine and we all had full dinner selections. Tab w/tip $480. I told my guests I'd never come back: WHY? After 2+ hours, sitting on backless picnic bench is not comfortable. Also not accustomed to having a martini out of a plastic cup, eating a good dinner out of take out foam container, and drinking wine out of plastic cup: all for a tab a bit under $500. I'm a native and could almost walk to the restaurant, but given my experience, I'll pass. At least the cutlery was not plastic cup.

Always a 5 star night at the Epic Oyster bar. Barry is the best! Really amazing atmosphere to watch as your food is shucked in front of you. Most fresh fish you'll eat around. Oysters a must... tuna a must.. crab cocktail a must!

Amazing atmosphere and food! Loved it! We got the lobster bisque, amazing oysters, short ribs and crab roll. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I was happy my sister and I were able to eat some local oysters on our trip to Cape Cod despite Covid 19. There was a nice and intimate outdoor seating area. Despite not having a reservation we were seated by the sweetest hostess named Janice. Who was chopped full of adventurous stories. I don't remember my waiters name, he was a man of few words but was still polite and responsive. To eat my sister and I got a lobster and Crab roll to share along with a variety of 10 oysters. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The oysters tasted like they were just picked out of the sea and all had a very unique flavor profile. The all the the crab roll was filled with sweet plump crab meat it pales in comparison to the Lobster. Eating at Epic Oyster was a great start to our trip in Cape Cod.

This business gets a 1 star because the food is decent ,but the customer service is beyond horrible. My husband refused to go here because he thought the owner was so rude. We moved closer and i convinced him to give It another try. i went to get take out night. Mind you the phone does not work so I drove there to order 3 appetizers and they said no take out while they are busy. Meanwhile It is tiny and I can see many empty tables and when i was leaving saw 2 men leaving with take out bags. SERIOUSLY! What has happened to customer service. Certainly none here. This is a small town and my friends have experienced the same thing. If people react to being treated badly ,maybe the tune would change here. Without customers wherein is your business. This should never be forgotten!!!

Nothing better! We had Fried Oysters and Muscles in white sauce with Chorizo and both were delicious and the best we ever had!

Great food. Cookies at end of the meal are awesome. Great selection of wine. Schnitzel was amazing. Menu is a bit clunky. Ambience is awesome indoor or outdoor.

We came here after hearing good things from multiple people. Got here around 7:30. We put our names down and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. We ended up waiting only about 15 minutes, so we were happy. We were sat outside. It is much nicer and quieter outside and there is more room. Make sure they light the Citronella candles for you though, or you'll be attacked by mosquitoes. They took a long time to take our order. It took longer to order than our 15 minute wait for the table. It was almost 9 before we got our food. They forgot about our bread and ended up bringing it with our meal. The cinnamon sugar butter was so yummy. I got the linguine and clams. It had a pretty good sauce, but the peppers made it a little spicy. The portion was not so large, so I was still hungry eating my meal. My girlfriend got the fisherman's stew, which had a much tastier broth. I loved her calamari too. I wish I had gotten what she got. That happens a lot. We asked for the check, and it took so long to get it that we had to go in and ask for it again after waiting ten minutes. We found out that they mixed up our table with the table next to us and were trying to figure things out. We reasoned that the other table must have gotten away without paying for a bunch of stuff because of the mix up. So, we finally got out of there round 9:30, nearly two hours after we arrived. Perhaps they need a bigger kitchen, more workers, or better training. They seem to have more tables than they can reasonably accommodate. Having so many tables may help their profit margin in the short term, but the negative impact it has on their service will lead to few returning customers.

This place is FANTASTIC! Was lucky to get right in on a weeknight. Place was busy and my party of two got there at the perfect time when a call ahead hadn't arrived yet opening the door to be seated. Order a trio of megansett oysters a friend of mine I actually went to college with farms. Epic Oyster prides itself on huge oyster selection and you have a menu complete with the area they are from, who harvested them and the characteristics of those oysters which was on point! I was committed to ordering seafood when I saw the short rib small plate offering go by. It was HUGE and looked great and I had to order it. My wife ordered the chimichurri strip steak medium rare. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the chimichurri sauce was fresh and vibrant. My short rib was huge for something on the small plate menu and absolutely delicious as well as presented gorgeously. It was all so tasty. Service was friendly and knowledgeable and the meal was out in a flash and all executed perfectly. The menu was huge and we can't wait to go back! Side note: the table behind us who had a stuffed quahog actually ordered a second once their main course arrived because the gentlemen said it was the best he ever had. It looked full of flavor but not a mound of buttery heavy stuffing - instead it was noticeably light and perfectly crisp looking. Can't wait to get back!

Waited WAY too long to get here. 35 year Cape Codder and have NEVER had better oysters. Owner Mark recommended, shucked and served the very best oysters, EVA! Of course there is an "r" in the month of November so even better! If you like oysters, piping hot chowda, seafood and very cool bars. Gets your ass to Epic Oyster!

I really wasn't impressed where we were seated. We were on bunch of crushed shells. The food was all right, but I was sinking in my chair I didn't like it. I was very uncomfortable.

Went here accidentally while driving around exploring- fun decor- really upscale shanty? Food was eclectic with a bent towards seafood. All of it on point. Can get hot during the day indoors in summer- will be going back...

Stellar, quaint, low-key/informal and rustic. Everything fresh and ranging from classic to creative. Absolutely worth the trip and will make it a point to dine there on every visit out that way!

The food here is great. The warm truffled lobster roll is the best I've ever had. Great oysters, love the crab cakes- and the way they have made changes to accommodate Covid-19 is amazing. Really don't know how they could do any better. Their bowls are a B, but their entrees and apps are all As....

This has to be the best restaurant on the Cape. The freshest shellfish is available. Tonight I had the swordfish chop~~so delish. Hubbby had frito misto also very good. Fun and casual atmosphere and good service.

Ordered three appetizers as a meal for two people and payed nearly 100 dollars. Very pricey but decent food. Not the best but service was okay. Ordered the lobster bisque and returned it because it was not good, it was sweet and did not taste like lobster at all kinda had a fishy taste. The plus side they give you a chocolate cookie on the way out!

Fabulous! Seated right on time with our reservation. Food was amazing and service outstanding! Cozy yet private. Can't wait to go back!!

Good food, GREAT ATMOSPHERE! Service was good, but the best part was the cookies. Even though they don't have a desert menu, after you get the check you get a little thing of baked cookies.
