Arnold's Lobster & Clam Bar is one of the restaurants in the Cape that my family & I typically visit every year in the summer. We've always enjoyed our food from here and never had any issues. I love getting their clam chowder, hot butter lobster roll, clam bellies, and crab cakes! Everything always has great flavor and tastes fresh... cannot complain. As for the price of their food, I mean, yes it's pricey but are the places down the street not matching that same energy? I almost feel like $30ish for a lobster roll is standard nowadays in the Cape & in Maine, but I digress. After grabbing a bite from Arnold's, we like to head outside, get some ice cream, and do their mini golf course. Will continue going here and am excited for my next visit when they reopen again in the spring/summer!

Arnold's is apparently a local favorite seafood stop, so we stopped in on our seafood tour around the cape. We shared a hot lobster roll and half a dozen wellfleet oysters. This place is cash only! They have an ATM on the premises for those of us who don't carry around cash anymore, thankfully. You order most food items at one counter, and answer raw bar items at the raw bar which is all the way into the restaurant at the back end of the counter. They call your name over the intercom system from the main counter. On a Sunday afternoon it was not too busy and pretty fast. The hot lobster roll (~$33) is a toasted roll, with some lettuce, absolutely loaded with lobster, and a small tub of butter on the side for you to drizzle over the whole thing. It comes with a cup of cole slaw and either fries or potato chips (we went with fries). The lobster roll was really really good, lobster fresh and sweet, and only enhanced by the rich butter (as it always does). The cole slaw is an unsung hero and is lowkey one of the best cole slaws I have had(???, didn't know I cared about cole slaw that much). Fries are mcD style and decent. Wellfleet oysters (half dozen for $17) were juicy, fresh, and sweet with just a touch of brininess. Perfect! Parking is aplenty, as are tables. Atmosphere is relaxed. Overall definitely recommend stopping in for a bite if you're in the area.

Mini golf-5/10 Food 8/10 Came for the golf, stayed for the food. The mini golf was classic, but the holes were raised so when you were actually putting the balls often lipped out. Now you may say, "hey, you're just bad at mini golf" which may be true but my boyfriend and I typically hit par or better and we both struggled on this course. the food was solid, I wish there were some flavor butter options but I think that may be asking too much. Fries were awesome as well. The warm roll came in at $33 which is a bit high for what I'm used to but it tasted pretty good. Both mini golf and food are cash only so make sure you have that on hand!

First time visiting Arnold's. We started off with two lucky things happening to us. First, we got a great parking spot and second, we hit the line right at the best time. We waited, maybe, 5 minutes before ordering our dinner. I loved to see 2 registers opening and help around the front to get people in to order quickly. We ordered a fish sandwich, a grilled chicken sandwich and a clam plate with bellies, a side of onion rings and 4 drinks. After placing our order, we got our table inside and got ready to hear our name called. As we sat and chatted, it was amazing to see the crowd continue to come in and place their orders. Arnold's was clearly a favorite of many. Our name was called and we got our food. I split the clam plate, which was great! The chicken sandwich and veggie sandwich was great, too....but both thought they were getting fries, too. As you can see in the picture, it was just the sandwich and nothing to go with it. Luckily, we ordered a side of onion rings, which was good to go along with the two sandwiches. All of the food was excellent. The onion rings were really good but a bit salty for me. I would rate them in the my top 5 of all time but just a big too salty. Clearly they were home made....which is always a good thing! Plenty of parking Fast service with a smile Price was reasonable Clean and neat Free refills for drinks Ice cream is available, as well 5-stars

Always a 5 star experience/meal! So much better than the other places on the Cape. We love the onion rings, fried scallops and shrimp. Seating - there is indoor seating, covered outdoor seating, shady outdoor seating and sunny outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is on wooden picnic tables. Parking - big parking lot. Dog friendly and there's a fountain for dogs to get water!

Great vibe and great food! Went to Arnold's Fourth of July weekend and it was great! Had a group of 9 people split into four orders and it was all out within 15-25 minutes. However the wait for a steamed lobster was around an hour so we skipped that and stuck to the rolls and fried options. It is a CASH ONLY but there is an ATM inside. MUST gets are - clam chowder - fried shrimp - hot and cold lobster roll - onion rings
