The staff was super friendly, lobster roll was delicious, and these were the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had! Seating is first come, first serve with no waitlist. Great spot!

Had a nice spread on the table of Brussels sprouts, clam chowder, Maine-style lobster roll and house wings! It was all very hearty and tasty. I didn’t love the wings, because they were quite dry, but I couldn’t not appreciate how fresh they were and the quality of the chicken. The lobster roll was fresh and had a nice ratio of meat to sauce and crunchiness from the celery. The Brussels were really nicely toasted and the Asian-style sauce was tasty (a bit salty though). The clam chowder was solid.
I thought the service was attentive. The space was the biggest downside, it was crammed and it was only getting busier, so there was some pressure to get a move on quickly. There could be a lot more space in the back area if there was outdoor heating lamps

A great casual spot for seafood. Fried fish sandwich, fish tacos, lobster rolls, potato salad, fries with eyes (fried smelt) were all delicious! Order at the counter and get a number type of place – service was pretty quick!
Seating out back was nice, tables with shade and a view of the bay. No frills, all chill. Great place for lunch after a visit to the pool or beach.
Good variety of drinks and canned beers.
Recommended.

Hot lobster rolls were awesome. Good amount of meat plus a yummy buttery roll. The slaw was so good, pickle too! The ground mustard and cheese for the pretzel were divine. Must stop! Don’t hesitate.

The Canteen is an absolute must-visit in Provincetown! The outdoor seating is a true highlight, with a lively and welcoming backyard space that overlooks the bay. It’s the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. And you have to try their frosé—it’s incredibly refreshing, especially on a warm day. Paired with one of their famous lobster rolls, it makes for an unforgettable meal. Highly recommended!

I went in here within 2 seconds of getting off there ferry. It was GOOD. Whew the menu got all types of things, I was worried about the execution. Everything hit. Those shrimp were some of the freshest shrimp I’ve ever had, and that horseradish wasn’t a joke. 10/10. The cod banh mi was different, but very good. 10/10. Those Brussels sprouts were incredible. I could eat an entire platter of those. 11/10. The yuca fries with chimichurri could’ve had more chimichurri but overall the flavor was pretty good. I’d eat them again. 9/10. The pineapple soda I had was also pretty tasty!
The food was pricey ($49 for everything I ordered), but worth it in my opinion. I had enough leftover to create a substantial meal the next day.

Really friendly vibe, super nice people. The lobster roll was fantastic and generous. My companion had the grain bowl and absolutely loved it.

The people were friendly, it was bright and colorful, right by the beach, in the middle of PTown a bunch of cool shops on either side. I loved the beef tacos, it’s nice they had good non-seafood options despite being a seafood hotspot. My family got seafood and loved it. The fried clams were a bit chewy, but those are hard to do, the fish and chips were fried to perfection, fell apart very easily. The place was shaded and staff very friendly, very open to conversation.

We (party of 8) all ordered entrees, and the majority of our food came out in ~10 minutes. There is a lovely, large, seating, area in the back. The wait staff was super friendly and the food tasted amazing—I had the crab rangoon sandwich, and we also liked the warm lobster roll—but I would not recommend the chowder. It was way too thick and very bland.

Amazing lobster rolls! We ordered both the hot buttered lobster roll and the cold lobster salad roll. and honestly, I can’t decide which one I liked more. Each had its own delicious flavor, and the lobster was fresh and generously portioned. The outdoor seating area is lovely, even though the beachside section is currently closed for renovations. It’s still a charming and inviting spot to enjoy a meal. The rolls come with a side of coleslaw, personally not my favorite, but it didn’t take away from how perfect the lobster rolls were. Definitely worth a visit!
