Arnold's Lobster & Clam Bar

Cape Cod


Fried seafood is the staple (plus renowned onion rings); there's also salads, baked cod and steamed lobster on the menu. Everything is fresh, and at night this place adds on a raw bar, separating it from other counter-service seafood shacks along the highway. It's super family-oriented, with kids' dishes served on Frisbees. Also has a mini-golf course and an ice-cream stand.
