“ Bob O'Mally's was a great stop on our drive from Boston to Harwich. This was our first time visiting and they didn't disappoint. The food, service and atmosphere were all topnotch! We had a stuffed quahog, fish and chips and fried clams. Everything was cooked perfectly and the vibe in the bar area was fun, upbeat and the bartender had a great sense of humor. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Cape! ”
“ The place was very busy on both of my visits. It's a small place. But you can get a fish dinner down the cape of all places!!! for just $9.99. The price doesn't change. It's unheard of!! They have a Fishermans platter that has so much food that you most likely will be taking some home... And, of course, they serve beer, wine, and mixed drinks. I highly recommend trying the Whaleback for your next fish dinner. Remember, it's only $9.99 for fish and fries! You can't go wrong. This place was unknown to me, but now I am sold! If you run into my friend Bobby behind the bar, tell him Daryl sent you! He's the one who told me about the Waleback! ”
“ Fresh battered fried to perfection!!! They actually respect the seafood. I almost never order fried seafood. This is the exception to the rule. The clams and scallops are a meal alone, add a slab of fish and some nice big shrimp!! You won't leave hungry on this one. The lobster roll is a healthy portion of perfection too!! Parking and seating can be a challenge. Don't hesitate to eat on your tailgate of you get the opportunity. It's worth it. ”
“ I didn't realize this place was all fried foods but for what they serve it tastes good although not very healthy. But if you're looking for healthy you're not going to come here. It is situated in a convenient spot right before the Sagamore Bridge. The staff is outstanding. If you are a big group with children you are eating outside. Hope it doesn't rain. Otherwise it is only bar seating inside. ”
“ Delicious food and worth the drive. Great atmosphere. Large TV to watch the game (also helps the Pats are killing it today). Food is fantastic! John at the bar is excellent! The lobster rolls are huge, fish and chips divine and, the steamers were delicious. All at great prices! A must go! ”
