We love the soups here but, you can create pretty much any sandwich that youâd like. Salads, desserts, snacks, drinks, wine, and groceries too if you need them! We love to pop in for lunch and take it upstairs to eat. It has a cozy, intimate feel up there! Service is great, itâs very clean, they have outside patios too if you prefer that!

The Skipper Restaurant & Chowder House is a seasonal restaurant open from mid April to mid October. We serve the finest seafood with the best view since 1936. Winner of the Newport, Boston and Cape Cod chowder festivals.

One of Cape Cod's oldest restaurants, the Skipper was founded in 1936 just off the coast of Nantucket Sound. I suspect that, when initially constructed, unobstructed views of the Sound were available. Currently, Seaside Cottages are between them and the water. However, if you gaze to the Northeast, especially when sitting their second floor deck, yes you can see the ocean. Parking is available in a surface lot across the street. As mentioned above, the restaurant has two floors. The first floor is family dining. The second floor has a bar with inside seating as well as a deck with South facing views. We requested and were provided seating on their outside deck. Even on an off-season week night, the Skipper was busy when we arrived for dinner. We had a 30 minute wait for a table. However, when we were done eating and leaving, we saw that the number of people waiting was near triple what it was when we arrived. This is a testament to their popularity. Our server was very good, friendly, efficient and quick. Their menu definitely focuses on fresh seafood, which is what I love. My other half is a vegetarian but is kind enough to allow me to satisfy my appetite for seafood, especially when it is so fresh. The Skipper's menu has a wonderful array of fresh fish and shellfish. The have a raw bar as well as many appetizer and cooked seafood options. They offer soups and salads, including their Triple Crown Champion Chowder. Of course, they too offer lobster and lobster rolls. If a "land lover" is in your group, they have Chicken Parmesan, Prime Rib and Fried Chicken options. In our case, we had their 10 Knot Nachos (Tortilla chips topped with jalapeño peppers, red onions, black olives, diced ripe tomatoes, scallions and jack cheese. Salsa and sour cream served on the side) and their Fried Oyster platter. The portion size was perfect for both selections. I found the oysters nicely breaded, lightly fried, juicy and flavorful - perfect for my appetite. We liked the food, location and ambiance of the Skipper and would gladly return.

This was the closest restaurant to our hotel, and rated reasonably well. We were a little disappointed as a consequence as not up to our self set expectations.For us, the food was expensive but at least it came with some vegetable! A little overdone, but greenery was very welcome on our road trip so far. We both had the blackened swordfish which in itself was thick and excellent. The setting was canteen style and quite noisy, also a little chilly. The pub next adjoining looked more convivial but eating was in this separate bit.Probably the best local option that said, and seemed popular with locals, but not condusive to us.

Crowded feel, some tables were a bit too close. A couple tables were right next to two doors accessing kitchen with small, half-size swinging doors so you could see into the kitchen. In and out waitstaff, plus noisy kitchen not conducive to a relaxing meal depending where you are sitting. Food was good though not exceptional. Service was very good.Thank you very much for taking the time to review. Despite our best efforts, sometimes accommodating seasonal crowds can lead to close quarters. We hope you'll stop in again next time you're in the area.

The restaurant is very popular with the visitors to Hyannis and gets very popular, meaning that a wait is probable. However, this was worthwhile as the food, particularly the fish and chips, was very enjoyable. Many groups were dining meaning that the noise level was high.Thank you so much for reviewing! We hope you'll stop in again next time you're in town.

My husband is a huge seafood lover and I am not - we had read reviews and checked out the menu so this place we decided to try. He ordered the seafood stew and moaned with just about every bite. He loved the light broth and the amount of seafood that was in it. Our server wasn't the friendliest but we didn't let bother us too much!
