Barnacle Snack Bar

Good burgers but want to do my own condiments. Especially off season! Service 5 stars. Bathroom 1 star. yuck…but better Han nothing. I will be back to try the bbq nights!

Really delicious and Impressive for. A beachside snack spot! The grilled chicken cesar wraps were fresh and delicious, and the chicken fingers are huge! The portions are great and the proximity to beautiful Craigville Beach is fabulous!

Food is ok, location is fantastic. Been here several times while working in the Cape for the summer. The food is decent not great. I was a little disappointed with the fish and chips, not much fish for the price. The bbq is good but a little dry. I like the french fries, they were alway hot. I go back because it is close to home and the location is right next to the beach. Food is always better when you can put your feet in the sand.

They forgot about mine and my friends orders. When we had asked how long fish tacos, a hamburger and fried shrimp would take, since we were waiting for our beach shuttle, they told us 20 min about. After 35 min I went up to ask if they were coming soon. When the girl asked the cooks if they had orders for us his response was «yeah we have a lot of those». She told us it would be a little bit longer. My fiancé had to take the last shuttle back to the hotel and get the car to pick us up and when he came back we still didn’t have our food!
After an hour they finally brought my friends orders (after watching families come, eat their food and leave). When I saw a woman who had come a half hour after us eating her fried shrimp I got up to get my money back. While on line they brought my food out and I ate out of starvation. Food was average. I suggest going to the other snack bar steps away.

Best hot dogs around. Perfectly buttered buns. We come every summer and we look forward to eating here the most. If your a person who likes service and wants to eat fancy then move along. This is a fun little place to get a great beach snack.
They get 5 stars for their category. Which I am calling the beach snack category. The buttered bun is really what puts them over the top.
I’ve eaten many hot dogs and I know what I am talking about. Go here and get one.

Great food, lobster roll, fish tacos, burgers, chicken tenders, chilli dog and the best fries I’ve ever had. They serve Four Seas ice cream too! Everything is amazing, lobster roll and tenders are epic.

Got fish and chips from here. Went back to complain that half the chips where under cooked and half the chips where burnt. They where willing to give me more chips, but after I witness the cook not wearing gloves, I asked for my money back. And while were at it, who serves actual chips with fish and chips!

We paid 32.00 plus tax for what suppose to be a clam plate, when we got the order there was prob less then 7 pieces of clams and the whole box was filled with French fries… They should call it French fry plate with a few clams for 35 dollars.
They need to open a Kelly’s roast beef here…

The Barnacle is a staple of Craigville beach. Prices are a little high, but as others have mentioned, they have a monopoly on the beach so they can do what they want. Ultimately when it comes down to it, it’s a snack bar in a resort town on the beach run by tired, hungover college kids, so the service will always be slow. Remember, its the cape. BUT they serve the best hot dogs I have ever eaten. Hands down. When you go, just keep it simple and get a hot dog, fries and a coke. Its a snack bar, not a 5 star restaurant.

I think the fried clam bellies were actually pretty good, but it’s hard to tell because there were so few of them. They gave me enough tartar sauce for a reasonably sized order but not enough clams. The rest of the tray was filled with decent fries and onion rings though I had to ask for some no-​name ketchup that tasted more like tomato sauce. Beware — it’s cash only. Although their sign points to an ATM at the place next door (seemingly different but owned by the same people) — they are not open the same hours. I thought I had enough cash but somehow when she totaled it I was a dollar short (now realizing I paid about 3 – 4 times what is reasonable for the amount I got). She watched me say I would go next door and did not mention it was closed. Then I came back and someone else offered to open next door so I could use the ATM. I paid a $ 3 ATM fee because I was short $ 1. I went back, gave her my money, and after all that never got my $ 2 water. Save yourself some trouble and bring a cooler or stop somewhere on the way in.

Stopped by, ordered a fried whole-​bellied clam roll with fries. Not bad at all. Very convenient to the nearby beaches. Prices are a little high.

Average food. Ok service. Salad with feta was very good.

Had the fish and chips and wasn’t disappointed. Great little place on the side of the road. Must stop by if you are at the beach.

Very reasonable beach grub. A little pricey, but it’s Cape Cod, you know?

As with most beaches on the Cape, if you’re looking for something to eat you’ll probably have to choose between Ma and Pa’s Clam Emporium or a rusty vending machine. At Craigville Beach, you have The Barnacle. This place survives purely on monopoly alone, the service is tragically slow and the staff are either hungover or sunstroked because it should never take 35 minutes to make a hotdog. I mean seriously, it’s a freaking hotdog. Lobster rolls are moderately priced at $ 14 and the chicken fingers are good at $ 6. Get your drinks across the street at the vending machine, they’re half price and ice cold (unlike the warm Coke you’ll get here). Beware of the sign that says they sell ice cream– they acually don’t and you’ll end up disappointed after 20 mins in line! There is a place next door that sells ice cream and other food and the line looked long too, not sure about the service and wait time.
We’ll be bringing a well-​stocked cooler next time!

The Barnacle is great place to grab food on the beach. The fries are really, really good as well as the soft serve, but that’s about it. Burgers are dry and the seafood doesn’t come out right. Still, its cheap prices and proximity (right across the street) to Craigville beach make it an excellent place to get a soda and fries and chill on the beach. Definitely come here instead of the Snack Shack next door, unless the line is too long.
