We visited on Monday in mid-June 2025 for dinner.
There was very few parking spots at the restaurant. We were lucky and got a spot as someone was pulling out when we arrived.
There was a line but it moved pretty fast. It does take a few mins for them to make the food. We decided to dine in. The weather was nice and they had shaded area in the back. We actually did 2 orders. We ordered one set of items and it was so good we decided to go back and order more. haha.
Our first order:
– Butcher Burger with sauce on side double: kid at it all.
– Ring Burger double: good, kid ate it all
– Pickle and Peppers double: good, kid ate it all
– Fried Fish Sandwich: larger than expected, very good.
– Fried Chicken Sandwich: larger than expected, very good.
Our second order:
– Burcher Burger with sauce on side single: Same picky kid finished it all again too.
– 2 onion rings: reminded me of blooming onion with sauce but more fine. Very good.
– Lobster roll: really good with lots of large lobster pieces but bun was very cold. Wish it was more room temp.
– Fried Clam sandwich: really good with lots of clams.
We enjoyed everything, there was nothing that we wouldn’t order again. It was a bit on the pricey side but the quality of the food was spot on. There was tons of people here too so I’m guessing it must be good and value was good too. You get what you pay for here. This was also the cheapest price for a lobster roll we had seen for our entire trip up the Northeast coast.
The atmosphere here was great too with the seating. They have walls that come out if it starts raining or maybe if it gets too cold. We saw that they have in ceiling heaters as well but it was nice evening and they weren’t on.
The bathroom was also very nice and clean.
Overall, great food, great staff and great atmosphere. Couldn’t ask for much more. We would visit again if we were in the area. But because of cost I think it would be mainly for a special treat. We were on vacation so we splurged a bit here.

Such a great find! We tried the pickle & spicy burger and the fried chicken sandwich and loved both. The onion rings were the real star Hands down some of the best I have ever had. They also have vegetarian options. Definitely a must-try!!!!!!

Great burgers, including a very good veggie burger. They do not serve fries, but the carrot and apple slaw was delicious!
This place has only outdoor seating and orders are taken from a walk-up window. Despite being right next to the road, it feels more secured than I thought it would thanks to a tall, solid fence.

Fish tacos were so disappointing. Fried well but dusted with Cajun or similar spice that overpowered the pickled cabbage and the fish. Lobster roll was great looking with big claw chunks and a well toasted proper New England top split bun but the meat was a bit flat as was the lemon mayo. Outside seating is nice and they have a great water and ice station.

Love stopping at the knack when I’m in the area. They are consistent and a quick bite, at least in the off season. Usually wait 10 mins or less once you place your order. The variety on the menu is just enough to have something for everyone. I always go for the fish or veggie tacos. They are the perfect sized meal and tasty. The shakes are also a nice sweet treat! They serve dine in and to go so definitely stop by if you’re in the area and enjoy, cheers!

8/20/2025 update: we came back and the food was just as good! This time we ordered lobster rolls which were delicious and $10+ less than any other road side fish shop on the cape (that we’ve seen)
Original review:Lovely fish tacos & sandwich!! The fries were incredible too! It was busy when we stopped but our food was still done in less than 10 minutes. Also had free ice and water with paper cups which is great. Highly recommend.

No frills counter service serving New England classics far below market price. My partner got a delicious lobster for $23! A few random things are slightly overpriced but still delicious. I believe 10% of their dessert proceeds go to charity. Got pooped on twice back to back by a bird but that’s not their fault, the nice open air part in the back is 100% open air. Will be back!

Stopped by the Knack on our weekend in Cape Cod and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed it so much we made a point to stop in a couple more times on our trip. Lobster rolls were insanely delicious and fresh. Onion rings have excellent seasoning and flavor with a great dipping sauce. They don’t taste like your generic fried food but the flavors of the onion and black pepper really shines through. Milkshakes hit the spot as well. You really can’t go wrong! My family also made several stops in and everyone immensely enjoyed everything they tried. It was a running joke our whole trip that if we were talking about good food then we must be talking about the Knack. Will definitely be visiting here frequently anytime we find ourselves on the Cape. All outdoor seating with covered and heated options for chilly weather. Dog friendly as well!

Great food—the fish sandwich was excellent. Great quality fish, cooked perfectly, not over-battered, wonderful fresh pickles. Clam roll was generous in the portion and clams were great (not gritty). Hamburgers were juicy, no gristle. We will be back!
