The Canteen

The staff was super friendly, lobster roll was delicious, and these were the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had! Seating is first come, first serve with no waitlist. Great spot!

Had a nice spread on the table of Brussels sprouts, clam chowder, Maine-style lobster roll and house wings! It was all very hearty and tasty. I didn’t love the wings, because they were quite dry, but I couldn’t not appreciate how fresh they were and the quality of the chicken. The lobster roll was fresh and had a nice ratio of meat to sauce and crunchiness from the celery. The Brussels were really nicely toasted and the Asian-style sauce was tasty (a bit salty though). The clam chowder was solid. I thought the service was attentive. The space was the biggest downside, it was crammed and it was only getting busier, so there was some pressure to get a move on quickly. There could be a lot more space in the back area if there was outdoor heating lamps

A great casual spot for seafood. Fried fish sandwich, fish tacos, lobster rolls, potato salad, fries with eyes (fried smelt) were all delicious! Order at the counter and get a number type of place - service was pretty quick! Seating out back was nice, tables with shade and a view of the bay. No frills, all chill. Great place for lunch after a visit to the pool or beach. Good variety of drinks and canned beers. Recommended.

Hot lobster rolls were awesome. Good amount of meat plus a yummy buttery roll. The slaw was so good, pickle too! The ground mustard and cheese for the pretzel were divine. Must stop! Don't hesitate.

The Canteen is an absolute must-visit in Provincetown! The outdoor seating is a true highlight, with a lively and welcoming backyard space that overlooks the bay. It's the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. And you have to try their frosé—it's incredibly refreshing, especially on a warm day. Paired with one of their famous lobster rolls, it makes for an unforgettable meal. Highly recommended!
