"Mac’s has a number of locations across the Outer Cape now, but their original Wellfleet location is the best. They serve great lobster rolls, fried clams, and more at picnic tables on the sand overlooking the bay. The fried stuff is gluten-free and the menu is massive—Mac’s is perfect for a great lunch, but an equally good casual dinner. It’s a meal you’ll remember months later when the sun is setting at 4pm and you can't go outside without a puffy coat." - jennifer mattson

The location justifies going here. It's on the water in Wellfleet, so that's nice. The fish is very good and very fresh, but the portions are VERY small, the fries are out of a bag frozen and unremarkable and the slaw tastes like nothing. Their signature hot sauce is probably the best thing they offer. If this place wasn't located where it is, no one would bother going. The dish pictured is the $22 fish and chips. Your eyes don't deceive you. That's a small paper plate for scale.

Mac’s on the Pier is an absolute gem—but here’s a pro tip: skip the walk-up counter and head into the seafood market. I picked out a fresh lobster, and the super friendly and patient staff steamed and cracked it for me right there. What sweet people—so helpful and kind! The whole thing cost about a third of what you'd pay at the main counter. I grabbed a seat at the picnic tables overlooking the water, added a cup of melted butter for just $1.50 (yes, really!), and had one of the best meals of my trip. Hands down the BEST lobster deal on the Cape!

Had a cup of clam chowder my wife did. Also, we had a great server smiling the atmosphere, and views were great also. Check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Solid first visit of the season. Tried the crunchy bowl with salmon (pictured). Although initially I was disappointed in the portion of salmon and thought $32 was a lot of money for the value I received, I left feeling full. So can't ask for much more. And most importantly: it was delicious. My partner consistently enjoys the fried fish burrito. Hot sauce on the side. IYKYK. After dinner we got ice cream. Service was pitifully slow, especially considering it was not even peak season. On the whole we enjoyed our meal. Other highlights include: Great music selection (Gregory Isaacs), great company (some local dogs) and even a few local celebrities sighted. Ice cream entertainment included a man playing music on his teeth with only a spoon.

The little public beach seating area was really noice. We got the clam bake, 6 oysters with a 2 lb lobster and little neck clams. The oysters had broken shell in them and were poorly prepared. The clams were bad, and I unfortunately threw up in the parking lot. The little neck clams tasted like rotten bile… worse than my own vomit. The Lobster was over cooked and really rubbery. The only thing I ate was the corn… which they didn’t bring out until 10 minutes after we got the lobster and clams. I asked them to give me a refund on the meal. We sadly ended up throwing out most of it. I’m not sure if they will refund me, but I felt sick the rest of the day. This was our only day out in Cape Cod so it made the day a bit of a struggle. I didn’t eat dinner because I still had no appetite.

Overpriced, even for the location. Their “large” clam chowder, that would be regular anywhere else, is $14, which would be $6-8 anywhere else. A small chowder, fry, and drink is $18! That outrageous. $25 for a poke bowl?! But due to the location, they could charge more and people will still line up in the summer. As a local, I won’t be going here again.

Yes, it’s a tourist spot. But it’s well worth a visit. Where else can you eat fresh oysters on the half shell on a paper plate sitting at a picnic table steps from the harbor? Staff is efficient and friendly enough. Big Thumbs up!

Great location on the pier. I wish their vegetarian options were better: their burritos are dry, even after requesting extra salsa, which is not very good. But seafood lovers will thrive here, and the ice cream is good. Plan to sit at the picnic tables on the beach next to the shack!
