Mattakeese Wharf Seafood Restaurant

- Food was excellent. For appetizers, I highly recommend the homemade potato chips with bacon. Very unique and insanely tasty. Lobster risotto was a large portion and excellent.
- Waitresses were highly attentive
- Large amount of seating; try to get there before rush hour for patio seating
- They do not take reservations, and do close for a portion of the year, but are very accommodating when they are open. Also note that they do have valet. Never been a huge fan of this, but I think you also have the option of parking yourself too.

This place was wild. An old timer from the area told me while waiting "There's no AC or heat here. It's one of the last of the old places."
It was really amazing explaining and the food was fantastic.
Beware, parking is valet.

The food, service, view and ambiance was exceptional! Took my mom here for her birthday on our last night in the cape. We waited about 20 minutes on a Sunday at 7:45p, saw the gorgeous sunset outside, then sat and enjoyed a delicious meal. We ordered the oysters, lobster risotto and seafood pasta (Livorno). Then key lime pie to end it. Wow. It was to die for!!! Wait staff was very nice and attentive. After we hung out by the bar and saw our waitress (Emily!) kill it on the mic! She is an amazing singer. All in all an amazing night, and one never to forget.

We have found a new favorite restaurant! The clam chowder was delicious. The lobster rolls were generous and very tasty. The view of the harbor is beautiful. Our server was very friendly. Definitely 5 stars across the board.

Fun restaurant with cool views. The homemade chips with blue cheese and bacon is a great appetizer. If they have the swordfish chop as a special, you won’t be disappointed. The pasta Livorno is also pretty great.

My husband and I are on our honeymoon & this was one of our favorite spots. Maria, our server, was just fabulous. She was knowledgeable about the food, drinks, and location! The food was absolutely delicious and came out very fast. The ambiance is great- a very east coast harbor feel. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the Cape. Oh, and amazing desserts!!! We got the peanut butter pie. The owner makes it!

We enjoyed a lovely family meal on a hot August day. We shared some oysters and hoagies, also known as "stuffies" which were very tasty.

The seafood stew that followed was excellent as were the deserts.

There were great views over the harbour from many parts of the restaurant.

We enjoyed a walk down the road to see the local beach after the meal.

Would like to return, if ever in the area again.

The food was so so good, the service was phenomenal, and the harbor views were magnificent. My wife and I have been traveling from Colorado and this has been our favorite place so far.

We ate at a few of the highly recommended area restaurants and Mattakeese Wharf was outstanding. Their clam chowder is the absolute best hands down. Loaded with meat and potatoes, thick and creamy and the best seasoning I’ve ever had. The Pasta Livorno was beyond fabulous. Loaded with lobster, huge shrimp & scallops, and whatever that sauce is, it’s fabulous. Hubs had the Baked Haddock and it was outstanding. Thick and perfectly seasoned. Service was impeccable. Fabulous enclosed outdoor area over looking canal. I’d give this place 10 stars if I could. It’s that good.

We had a great time celebrating our father’s birthday here. Nice ocean view and we all enjoy seeing the boats. Foods were great and the deserts are delicious 👍.

We had a group of 10 so they accepted a reservation for any group over 6. A nice atmosphere and beautiful at sunset overlooking Barnstable harbor! Valet parking but if space you may be able to park nearby in winter not during summer though!

We Have Been Going here for over 25 years and its always Great !
The management and staff are very accommodating !

One of our favorite places to eat on the Cape! Fresh local seafood, great drinks and apps, live music and amazing sunset views. Highly recommend!

Every visit was excellent the service and food is superb. Tremendous location great sunsets. Salty bar with lively atmosphere. Closed until mother's day 2024. Valet parking,busy in season.

We arrived on a Saturday night and were seated , by the huge Window overlooking the Barnstable Harbor. It was beautiful, just as the sun was setting. Our meals where great and the service was great as well. We look forward to going back.

Great service, great location and views and fantastic food. Not sure why the valet was but ok...
Portion sizes were on the big side although I could finish all of mine and why not, freshest, perfectly cooked lobster on a lightly toasted briosh bun with a hearty lemon wedge.

Love this place. Food is consistent. Good, thick chowder, and the bloody mary was great! Wish it were open year round!

Very upscale seafood restaurant. They have a bar and large dining area. The side closer to the harbor is perfect for sunset views. The wait staff was very professional and quick. The valet service was professional and quick. The bathrooms were small for the size of the restaurant but adequate. The food was top notch and $30-40 per person plus more if you get drinks.

Overall great time.

It was super busy, as expected for a Saturday night. Cozy atmosphere, excellent food. Not used to restaurants only having valet as parking option but seems to be the norm on the Cape.

Great food, fun decor, fast service even when they were very busy. Parking is valet but tip only. We had the fish sandwich, lobster bisque and clam chowder. Highly recommend all three.
