Beautiful place. Walked in and felt like I was at a restaurant on the Cape. Good bloody Mary. Apps were ok. Worst lobster roll I ever had in my life. Cold, dry and chewy. Definitely was not fresh. The manager took them off our tab which was good. But I won't go again.

We visited the area for the first time and was given a couple of reccomendations, Outriggers wasn't one of them. We did some research, got a reservation and went over. When we got out, we saw someone leaving and asked them how was it, they responded "it was ok." We were 2nd guessing our decision.We were seated quickly, a 2 man band was playing, which was awesome. Our waitress was great. I got the past fra diavolo, and IT WAS AMAZING! Sauce had the perfect spice level and it was loaded with seafood. My wife got the sea bass. She liked it, but could have done without the crab meat with maybe a little more focus on the sea bass. The clam chowder was good as well and so were the rolls.Moral of the story, listen to people, but make your own decisions. Except for me, listen to me and give the diavolo a shot!

Never order the pizza, I’m 70 years old and this was the worst pizza I’ve ever had. The friends that I went with, their food looked OK. My friends said, you should never order a pizza except at a pizza restaurant.. I disagreed… I said a restaurant shouldn’t serve pizza unless it was good.

I recently had the chance to dine at Outriggers and I want to share my review of the experience. Let's begin with the ambience of the restaurant, which left me absolutely breathless. The serene setting, with the beautiful waterfront view, creates an atmosphere that is truly captivating. If you appreciate quiet and tranquil surroundings, this is the perfect place for you. However, if you prefer a lively and energetic ambiance, Outriggers may not be the best fit. Moving on, I must commend the excellent service provided by the servers. From the moment you enter the door until the time you leave, they are attentive and friendly. Their hospitality greatly enhances the dining experience. I give the service a full five-star rating. Now, let's discuss the food I had the opportunity to try. To start, I ordered the clam chowder. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. The chowder resembled a thick soup rather than the traditional clam chowder I was expecting. The taste also seemed unfamiliar, more like a potato soup. While I struggled to find any clams, the overall experience wasn't what I had hoped for. Moving on to the main course, I opted for the seafood combination of a fried seafood platter. I was excited to try it, especially since I've had great versions of this dish at other establishments like Chowder Pot. However, when I compared it to those experiences, it fell short. The platter was just okay, lacking that wow factor I was anticipating. As a result, I wouldn't specifically visit Outriggers for their food alone. Considering all aspects of my experience, I would rate Outriggers Restaurant a 2.5 out of 5. While the ambience and service were outstanding, the food didn't meet my expectations. If you're seeking a picturesque setting with top-notch service, Outriggers is a great choice. However, if the quality of cuisine is your primary focus, you might want to explore other options.

Thanksgiving dinner with a view. Our "go to" seafood restaurant for celebrations is now our go to for a great Thanksgiving meal. Absolutely delicious. Portions were impressive and price was reasonable. Service was a bit on the slow side, but the views made up for it.

I was under impression it's on the water, but the water is totally obstructed by marina. But the food is good and very reasonable. Service is good too. I can recommend

My family and I were looking forward to eating here and while it wasn't terrible, we weren't impressed. First off the raw oysters and clams were delicious but they do not hook you up with all the raw bar fixins. Just lemon. My husband had to ask for hot sauce which should be on the platter. The portion sizes were very small for the high prices. I had friend whole belly clams and it was like 12 pieces and boring bland fries. The soft shell crab dinner was very small for $26. Our service was rushed, we were in and out in 45 minutes. We were never offered refills and our waters sat empty for about 15 minutes. With all the other seafood choices around we won't be returning.

Dogs aren’t allowed on the outdoor patio. In this day and age, that’s weird. Lots of rules listed on the menu. Also weird. Food is very mediocre. One of our party ordered pizza — I tried a slice…literally the worst I’ve ever had. Cheap frozen pizza tastes better. The rest was just passable (really seemed like frozen seafood): wouldn’t spend my money there again. Nice enough wait staff…high school kids.
The adult children were visiting so we wanted to dine outside on a lovely Sunday evening. The restaurant was not busy, nice view from the deck, and the service was pleasant. Unfortunately the food did not measure up…super inconsistent. Hits: tasty chicken teriyaki bowl and a crusted chicken sandwich. Misses: undercooked food-service frozen crinkle cut fries, a personal pizza baked on what had to be a premade crust, and flavorless, pricey sangria. There are better options.

We had lunch yesterday with friends. It had to be the worst seafood ever. I had backed stuffed shrimp- 3 mini shrimp rubbery and bland, ordered fried shrimp - tiny and tasteless, coleslaw no dressing, fried ok. Another person ordered stuffed filet of sole- sole was overcooked, dry and shoe leather! Other two orders ok. We have been here many times before and always had a good meal. Good luck!

We have eaten here many times. Usually the food and service are great. In nice weather the view is spectacular. However, we are still so annoyed about our experience on August 20 that we feel compelled to say something. In the first place, they were short-staffed; as a result, the service was basically awful. We even had to take our check to the cashier in order to pay, because nobody ever came by to pick it up. In the second place, after asking for some bread several times, we were told they were out. Out of bread?!! They were also out of at least one of the specials as well as the item from their regular menu that I tried to order instead. Most restaurants in a situation like this would offer something--a free drink, a free dessert, or whatever. When nothing was offered, we asked if we could have a complimentary dessert. The waitress asked the manager and told us that the manager had refused to do anything. This is a good way to lose customers. If this had been our first time there, we would never go back. Because this was the first time that we had such a bad experience, we are willing to give them another chance. However, we certainly will not be rushing back.

Great view, relaxing lunch. Good food...I had fish tacos. Fish was hot and ample portion. I would order it again. Service was slow with little sense of urgency, could use a little pep in the step.

Walk in at 4 on a Saturday. Immediately got seated outside on a beautiful day. Servers, bus staff, hostess were all wonderful. Food was very good. Not huge portions but what was there was excellent. PEI Mussels, swordfish and cod sandwich fresh and served hot. Don't miss out on the fried banana cheesecake. That alone was worth the trip.
