Great date night with the wife while on vacation. The flatbread was amazing as well as my nashville hot chicken sandwich. And the cocktails were scrumdiddlyumptious. Joe the manager even “managed” to get me a Harvey Wall Banger. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

Service was slow. We called right before we got there and asked if there was a wait for 2. She said no, we have two tables open. I said I’ll see you in 2 minutes. We get there, I hate that they have valet and I have no choice in the matter to not use it. So we go inside and ask for a table for two and she has us waiting for 15 min for the table. Then we get to the table, and it’s this tiny thing squished in between two large tables full of people. I couldn’t even pull my chair out without hitting woman behind me. Waitress didn’t come for like 10 minutes. She didn’t really check in with us. I had to ask her for everything. The food was not great at all. $18 crab cake was mush and falling apart but tasted ok. Caesar salad looked like it was thrown on the plate and so sloppy and waaaay over dressed. My nachos were a joke. $18 for 8 chips with toppings on them and everything underneath was bare, no cheese, no chicken nothing. **see photos** probably will not be returning here and we are locals.

Stopped in for the first time in a while only because we knew it was under new ownership. We appreciated the valet parking and all employees were very polite and friendly. Had a couple of good cocktails, not as heavy handed as we like but still good.
My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. Definitely will drop in again.

Chapin’s Bayside is a true summer classic — the kind of spot that instantly puts you in vacation mode. It’s the place to be when the sun’s out, flip-flops are on, and you’re craving something that screams Cape Cod. Their peanut butter mudslides are downright legendary. Rich, creamy, and perfectly boozy — they taste like summer in a glass and are worth the visit alone.
However, the $45 lobster roll left much to be desired. While the portion looked generous, it was mostly claw and minced meat, lacking the plump, buttery tail chunks you’d expect at that price point. It didn’t quite deliver the wow factor, especially when compared to what other local spots are serving.
That said, the service was excellent — warm, attentive, and upbeat, which definitely added to the experience. Chapin’s still holds its charm and is worth a visit, but for the lobster roll, you might want to look elsewhere. Just don’t skip that mudslide.

really loved all the food we had and we ate outside on the patio. It was nice! the crab cake was awesome I loved the sauce and the cucumber and corn sucatash underneath was amazing with it. the calimari had chorizo in it which just added that extraness that was surprising and just delicious. The lobster roll was great the fries were perfect. I didn’t really enjoy my margarita but my husband loved his drink and that didn’t ruin the experience so still would highly recommend!!

Very cool place and cool vibes. Music was great.
Drinks great. Oysters fine, pizza small and just passable-nothing special.
I am from MA and have ordered fish and chips
a thousand times. The one I got last night is probably in the top 3 worse ever. Thin, dry, almost inedible. Look I really liked the place-my first time there. But man, figure out how to make a decent fish and chips for $27.

Chapins has always been a great place to splurge on drinks and dinner in the summer time. Have not been there in a few years. Always thought very good. Very disappointed tonight. The wait staff was very good. We were Looking forward to order the beer batter fish and chips which was one large piece for fish, It is now potato crusted fish, three small pieces. Grotons frozen sticks would have been the same in not better. We were served with a dirty water glass, ordered the steamed clams and hair in a clam shell. Then when we got the bill, we were charged for the clams despite informing of the hair. Now we under stand why the dining room was only filled about 25% between 5 and 6 pm on a Saturday night in August. Your location will still allows for customers but as a local, won’t be back. So sad.

We came to this spot on vacation to the raw bar to enjoy some fresh oysters. We were giving menus sat with them for over 10 min. No one from entry til we were about to order told us they don’t serve raw bar Monday and Tuesday until we tried to order. The menus we were handed had raw bar on them. We were not just going by online. So they gave us menus saying they had oysters tuna etc. but when ready to order we’re told we don’t serve that Monday and Tuesday. Hey I get when you are miles away from the ocean. But we are on the ocean. If it shared on the menus or on line we would have picked a different day to visit them. Just very disappointed with the overall experience. Just let the public know we don’t offer the menu we advertise or set in front of you during your visit.
