One of the best raw bars by far. I live on the ocean on the Outer Cape and I am sad to no place is putting up as nice a raw bar as Summer Shack. I am thankful that you are somewhere in reach. 

Business response:

Thank you, Robert! We're so glad you travel the distance for our raw bar. Hope to see you in soon! In the meantime, follow our main page for updates: Summer Shack.

Loved the grilled lobster and wild Alaska salmon. Only the veggies along with the salmon could be a little less fried.

Poor service, clams over cooked, grilled lobster was average 

Business response:

We're so sorry for this experience, Jeff. This is certainly not up to our standard. Please message our main page Summer Shack and we would be happy to correct this for you.
