I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
We are so lucky to have so many delicious restaurants around the Bay State. With a variety of cuisines from seafood to Italian, from Polish to Thai, and so much more, our taste buds can go on an adventure. We also have our fair share of iconic restaurants like the Union Oyster House in Boston and The Old Mill in Westminster. Head to Cape Cod and you’ll find another iconic restaurant in Massachusetts. Since 1979, The Lobster Pot has been a fixture on Provincetown’s Commercial Street and it’s a must-visit for anyone who comes to town.
The Lobster Pot has been offering fresh seafood to locals and tourists since 1979 when the McNulty family opened its doors as a restaurant.
While there are plenty of restaurants along Commercial Street to choose from, The Lobster Pot just seems to stand out from the rest. It's not uncommon to see a line out the door during the summer months as it's one of the most popular eateries in town.
With its location, guests are treated to Provincetown Harbor views as they dine in one of its two waterfront dining rooms. Not only are the views spectacular, but so are the food and the service.
(Pictured here is the Oysters Rockefeller with spinach and parmesan.)
The Lobster Pot is also the perfect place to get clam chowder, bouillabaisse, and Portuguese soup, so be sure to order one of those. And for an entree, try one of the signature fish dishes, lobster, a sandwich, chicken, steak, or even a vegetarian dish.
(Pictured here is the BBQ Pepper Shrimp, a customer favorite!)
Come here anytime during the day for a meal and, if you happen to stick around town at night, take a walk past The Lobster Pot to see its iconic neon sign all aglow!
