The experience at the Black Cat Shack was underwhelming. The food wasn’t very good and didn’t live up to expectations. Service was decent, but the use of paper plates and plastic utensils felt cheap, especially considering the price point. Overall, it didn’t feel worth what we paid. Not recommended!

Visited this place in June 2025.
I was getting recommendations on restaurants to try and Black Cat Harbor Shack was mentioned. The dining experience was great! The night I went there was live music. Though it was packed, I got a nice seat tucked away from the crowd. My waitress was great. I started off with the virgin pina colada which was tasty!
For my entrée I ordered the crab cake sandwich with fries. The sandwich was delicious and filling. The spicy mayo really gives it a nice kick! Great atmosphere and wonderful staff I will be back!

This is a nice place but I’m not sure we would return. We each had the clam chowder which was okay but perhaps our expectations were too high, as they are very proud of having won the best chowder of the Cape, but we preferred the chowder we had at the Old Yarmouth Inn. Also had one so-so cocktail (a bit watery) and the lobster roll (warm) which was okay but very expensive. Fries are extremely thin which I didn’t care for. Ended up paying $80 for this smallish lunch which seems a lot considering that it’s a very simple place. Might try the Black Cat restaurant next door next time, but we wanted to sit outdoors and have a view of the harbor.

Last night I went out to dinner with friends and accidentally left my purse behind. On the drive home I realized it was missing, and when we called the restaurant, the staff were so kind and reassuring — they held it safely for me until I could get it the next day. That level of honesty and care means so much.
On top of the wonderful service, the food was incredible. The clam chowder was a 10/10 and truly the best I’ve had!
Highly recommend this place not only for the delicious food but also for the genuinely thoughtful staff.

We came here to celebrate a birthday, although we originally wanted to eat from next door, the Black Cat restaurant. However here at the Black Cat Harbor Shack, 90% of the Black Cat Restaurant menu is available. The Black Cat Harbor Shack had generous portions and friendly staff. The drink menu was extensive too. Outdoor seating was nice and there is a good view of the boats and harbor. Metered parking is available near by. They also had menus available via QR code. Overall, it was great place to eat.

We ate really, really well. The clam chowder is famous for a reason and they give very big portions of everything. The fried clams weren’t the best ones I ever had but the Tuna Taco was just wow (aware: it’s a bit spicy).

We found this place last minute, as we are on vacation with our kids for the weekend and they were super hungry. We are so glad we found it because the food was amazing and the staff was awesome. Peter was our server and he was the best! Super friendly and very attentive.
