We have come to Captain Cass’s for years and loved the old nostalgic place! Couldn’t wait to come back, but we’re sadly disappointed! The remodeling was great, similar to the old place, bathrooms roomy and clean. The one server for the whole place, randomly decided to wait on a customer that came in after us, his soup came out immediately and we sat and waited for ours. The clam strip platter was pretty generous, covering a pile of fries! But the clams were barely warm, fries were somewhat warmer! Obviously they seemed to have been sitting under a light, not fresh out of the fryer!
Not ones to ever complain about food, we said the clams weren’t warm! Apologies made and plate taken back to the kitchen to just dump into the fryer again to make the clams hot and tough! We have 2 chefs in our family and tend to have a high standard for food and know that some kitchens aim to please and others don’t care! Also their Prices seem to be somewhat higher than other places on the Cape for the amount of food you get. Will probably give them another try!

It was wonderful to see Captain Cass renovated and reopened!
The service was fantastic as was the food. The portions were amazing for the price and the overall atmosphere was terrific.
You can tell a lot of attention was paid to the redecorating with the painted weathered look of the furniture and everything.
I had the Fried Clam Strips for lunch, then went back for dinner later in the week and had the Cap’t Cass Seafood Platter, both were delicious! My wife loved the She Crab Stew.
Will definitely be making this a must visit on our yearly trip to the Cape!

Live 0.5 miles from this place and it is great to see it finally open back up. Had the classic indoor restaurant, but a new outdoor window to order and pick kup with plenty of seating. Authentic lobster shack exterior with seashell pavement, plenty of seats, and nautical decoration. Dog friendly with water and treats. Food was great, though I would like to explore more of the menu before I bump the food up to the full five stars. Overall, a great experience and restaurant I will definitely be returning to, with a beautiful view of Rock Harbor.

We were the first customers of the newly reopened captain cass. We’ve been going for years and it was our favorite lobster roll on cape cod. The new owner spent a lot of money updating the place, and while it lost the 1950’s divey charm, it looks great and feels clean and new while still very cape cod. The scallops were really moist and fresh and the lobster roll was a good size and also super fresh. The fries are very similar to what they used to be, battered style. Only minor gripe is to have a buttered/toaster roll for the lobster roll but otherwise the prices were fair and portions good. Very happy they are back with new owners investing in a cape classic. They added a new takeout window and outdoor seating overlooking the marsh (bring bug spray and beware the flies when no wind)

Great cold lobster roll. Lots of perfectly cooked well seasoned lobster meat and perfect soft bun. One slice of lettuce was the perfect amount of crunch without being considered “filler”. Fries were hot and crispy! Super friendly fast take out service. I will be back!

I’m local and decided to take my sister who was visiting here over the summer to check out the recently reopened restaurant. It was hot sunny day and there was only one table available, so my sister went to the table while I ordered food. The table was in full sun, so she opened the umbrella. 3 minutes later, a woman was literally yelling at her from behind the counter, “Ma’am… MA’AM! We closed that umbrella for a REASON!” This after just ordering nearly $100 worth of food (for 2 people). My heart sank and I immediately regretted bringing her here. There was absolutely no reason to yell at her. You could have been polite. Even better, if you don’t want the umbrella opened, remove it from the table or put a note on it. The food was average fried seafood, nothing special. There are better options. As someone in Orleans, this was my first and last time here.

I’m a local that has been going to Capt. Cass for decades (since I was a child – and I’m north of 60) – so the grand reopening was eagerly anticipated: this was a classic seafood shack (i.e. something of a dive) at the end of the pier at Rock Harbor. We visited on 10/5/2025. The renovations to the building, etc., were good (though a bit sterile inside), and we liked the outdoor seating area. The: clams were very heavily breaded (this detracts from the glory that is the perfect fried clam) and overcooked (i.e. tough); the fish was excellent; the scollops were too heavily breaded but still good; the shrimp was decent (we split a seafood platter), and the onion rings were crispy but also heavy-handed with batter. The service was attentive and efficient (though we both missed the pink lemonade – the bottled stuff they have now isn’t as good).

What was my/our hands-down local favorite that used to be consistently outstanding is now average. We’ll try them again with hopes they’ll return to their former glory.

We’ve missed the old Captain Cass the last few years while it was being renovated. The new management has done a really credible job bringing back an institution. The hot Lobster rolls were very good, all meat, no filler, just as expected. The fries were hot and crispy, just like the original. I’m not big on Cole slaw but my companion liked it. We appreciate the updates to the property. The outdoor seating area seemed really popular though we sat indoors. They did a great job of maintaining the charm while updating and modernizing. We’re looking forward to visiting again soon to try some of the other menu items.
