Spanky's Clam Shack and Seaside Saloon

One of the best seafood restaurants in the Hyannis area. Their prices are very good too. We always order the usual lobster rolls, fried whole belly clams, and fried scallops. Can't wait to go back again this summer.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience with a lovely dockside view, and upscale tasty dining. Service was great, but since it was a busy time it was a little slow. Since we were on vacation, we didn't mind the slight wait. I definitely recommend for a great slice of Cape Cod atmosphere and great food.

Loved this place. We visited twice for dinner during our visit because we enjoyed it so the first time. Lobster was excellent!!

Food is inconsistent as is the service. Hit or miss at best.

Seafood stew. 3 days in a row. So good. Everything else too :)

Nestled in the heart of Cape Cod, Spanky's Clam Shack exudes a charming atmosphere that instantly transports you to a bygone era. The restaurant is covered with coastal decor and filled with older folks, who looked like they knew where to find the best seafood in town. Located just a stone's throw away from the beach, it's the perfect spot for seafood while enjoying the salty breeze. For appetizers, we couldn't resist ordering both the clam chowder and lobster bisque. The lobster bisque stole the show with its robust flavor and velvety texture. It was so rich and nice chunks of lobster. In fact, it outshone any bisque I had ever tasted in Boston. The bisque is a 5 out of 5. On the other hand, the clam chowder, while delicious, didn't quite surpass the chowders I had savored in the Greater Boston Area. Still, it was a comforting bowl of creamy goodness - a solid 4 out of 5. The generous portion sizes of both dishes offered excellent value for money, ensuring we left feeling full. For the main course, I opted for the clam strips. With each bite, I could taste the freshness of the clams. Squeezing a lemon wedge on top added a zesty kick that elevated the flavors. However, I couldn't help but regret not ordering the whole belly fried clams. It's probably tastes meatier, which is what I was looking forward to. Next time I'm back I'll try it out and see if my expectations hold true. The clam strips lacked a distinct flavor profile and reminded me more of calamari. 4 out of 5. We couldn't resist indulging in a classic Cape Cod delicacy, the lobster roll. Bursting with freshness and brimming with flavor, the lobster roll satisfied our cravings. It offered a more affordable alternative to the ones found in the city, making it a delightful treat. Though, I couldn't help but yearn for a salty, buttery sauce drenched over every inch of the roll, bringing it to new heights and flavors. The lobster roll gets a 4 out of 5. Our waitress added an extra touch of warmth to our dining experience. Her friendly demeanor and welcoming nature made us feel right at home, as if we were dining with old friends. Spanky's service and cute coastal decor push my rating to a 5 out of 5. Spanky's Clam Shack is a delightful seafood spot that captures the essence of Cape Cod. Its quaint atmosphere, along with the fresh and satisfying dishes, make it a must-visit for any seafood enthusiast. I look forward to trying the whole belly fried clams when I'm back!
