Sasha NaomiApril 11, 2016The staff was great and so friendly! There was so much lobster in the Lazy Man Lobster dish and sooooo tasty! The clam chowder is also amazing! I wish I could learn how to make it with their recipe 😍
Rachelle GrecoMay 31, 2015Mojito was very good, really sweet.Chowder was delicious and my boyfriend loved the ahi tuna fish tacos. For my meal I got the appetizer fried clams, which was plenty of food! Overall great restaurant
PhabiJune 10, 2015The clam chowder is DELICIOUS! It's a must! I had the shrimp po boy, it was good, the cole slaw was yummy, the skinny fries were really good and we're not over whelming.
Deena FreedAugust 24, 2013Try the Harbor Shack for a more casual atmosphere. The lobster roll and clan chowder are awesome as promised, award winning in fact. Park in the lot across the street.
Don KelleySeptember 30, 2016Great food, fabulous view of Hyannis Harbor. Convenient valet parking (free). Indoor and outdoor dining and an outdoor bar with live music.
kalenJanuary 4, 2015open year round. the lobster roll is huge and only appears to have too much mayo (def not really the case). I just prefer the bun a tad smaller and more buttery.
Another great time at the Black Cat. From the food to the great attitudes of the staff (thank you Elizabeth) what a great dinning experience.
Lindsay ListanskiSeptember 1, 2013Cool spots to enjoy a drink while enjoying a nice breeze off the water. Loved their fries. Popcorn shrimp was decent and chowda was good.- Kim Dale DoughertyJune 21, 2014Everything we ate was delicious!!! The Quahog, the lobsters, the fried clams, the salad with a vanilla house vinagrette!! Yum!!
- Have just added the Black Cat as a must place to eat while on the Cape. Ask for Alex if you can.
Bonnie PezzolesiJune 15, 2013When you only need lemon and save the tartar sauce for the fries you know the fish is fried right
James GoochSeptember 26, 2019Really tasty food with something for everyone. The seafood is the best. Very busy though.
Sandra LocascioOctober 6, 2014The mixed green salad with grilled chicken w a s delicious. The carrot cake fabulous. Jennifer was a great server with helpful tips.
Pamela HallAugust 24, 2011Don't miss the clam chowder. Best I've had in NE. Steamers were deliciously sweet and cooked perfectly. Outdoor porch with beautiful backdrop. Ahhhh....
Caroline RobertsAugust 17, 2013Fresh seafood, great atmosphere. The long island fruit tea is a great twist on a classic drink!- Briana J.July 26, 2013I love the traditional nautical decor and they serve yummy classic New England seafood!
Bill ColeApril 7, 2013Good service and great food. Try the Osterville Burger (fried oysters, bleu cheese and bacon)!!
Libby GOctober 27, 2013A really good meal here and the lobster was great. Lovely service and very friendly.
Dan FareseAugust 30, 2015It seems like every restaurant on The Cape has an award winning lobster roll...this one is the real deal
Markus WaitOctober 9, 2013The outside patio is nice minus all the traffic. the food was good but the staff lacked big time. Maybe just the end of the season but employee on cell to sit us and server complains to give specials
- Place is amazing, food is outstanding, ask for Alex if he is working.
Christopher CornaJanuary 14, 2012The ahistorical taco has thinly sliced tuna...the staff says don't get anything else first
Daniel GalimidiJuly 8, 2014Food was great, service was terrible. Waiters constantly rushing you to order, serve and clean.

"Always good for a live band and entertainment in the summer months when visiting. The beer selection speaks for itself, great variety. Get there somewhat early & plan to hunker down to avoid lines."
