DPM’s Surfside Grill

5 stars for being so unexpectedly delicious :) today is their last day of the season FYI… According to their sign they will be back in 266 days (you can figure out the day they reopen because NO THANK YOU MATH IS HARD).
We had a lobster roll, chips, slaw, and a hot dog and a lemonade. The standouts were the lobster roll/​chips/​lemonade. All three were delicious– lemonade was fresh squeezed, chips homemade and fried on site. Lobster roll was a well seasoned lobster salad with just a little mayo and big chunks of lobster with a piece of lettuce on a buttered toasted bun. Though I don’t normally do lobster salad (ct hot lobster rolls are usually more my jam!) this was above average. I loved the slaw but if you are expecting traditional (or even vinegar based slaw) it might not be your thing. It was almost like a sweet pickle giardiniera cabbage mix. I liked it. If I lived closer I would be a lot poorer (tho the prices were reasonable!) and a lot fatter :)

this place is only open memorial to labor day unfortunately Unilocal forces a star rating so I’ll leave 3 for the view since it was closed for food when I got there.

Great place to enjoy well prepared seafood located on Corporation beach. Outside casual dining, great lobster roll, b.y.o.b, fried seafood light & above average. Onsite rest rooms. Service is fast, the view is spectacular. D.P.M. is doing a great job, we love it.

Great view– amazing sunset– food can take a bit but who cares with the view here! Food is great. Our family tried a range of food: friend shrimp, fried clams, grilled cheese, cheeseburger, lobster roll, tuna roll— all were great! Must go to place on the cape. The fact that you can bring your own alcohol is a plus too!

Jewish Bbq lovers: DPM simply has the best Beef short ribs in Christendom. I would proudly wear their T-​shirt. The spare ribs are tops also. (Okay I have strayed from my faith in the altar of BBQ). Food from this market simply is best on the Cape.

Such a great amenity for Corporation Beach! These guys are doing it right. My wife and I split the Jumbo Lobster Roll, a large Onion Ring and 2 freshly squeezed lemonades. The Lobster Roll was so good. It tasted like the ocean. So fresh with just enough mayonnaise to hold it together. The onion rings were also amazing. Hand cut, and lightly dredged, fried to crispy perfection. Not greasy at all. Loved this Beach Spot. If visiting the Cape and looking for a great beach with an awesome lunch spot, this is the place for you. Highly recommend.

On vacation for a week. Ate here 3 times. That’s coming from a foodie, who wants to try everything. But when something is good, it’s good.
So apparently Dennis Public Market is a local butcher shop and kind of farmers market, and they decided it would be a good idea to take over the food stand at a Bayside Cape Cod beach. Well, it was a freaking genius idea because after working up an appetite swimming and sun bathing you walk up to a totally unassuming beach stand expecting greasy crap and are presented with a thoughtful culinary experience.
Fresh that day seafood, to a famous coleslaw like side to fresh cut fries. This place has it going on. My husband ate a half dozen lobster (cold) rolls — I loved the fish and chips and my daughter keeps asking when we can go back for the best grilled cheese ever.
Complete with bathrooms, sunset views and a swing set you cannot pick a more picturesque spot for a family diner along the water.

A very smart move from the DPM (Dennis Public Market). We had lobster rolls and onion rings, with large unsweetened iced teas at noon today. An absolutely gorgeous day and stunning view of my favorite Corporation Beach. The food was very good – big pieces of claw meat, not too much mayo on the lobster rolls, the onion rings were perfectly crispy (we had a large and it fed three). The iced tea was classic clam shack. After eating, we went back for a swim. Also, the prices were surprisingly reasonable ($ 11.95 for a lobster roll, $ 6.95 for chicken sandwich). Hot dogs, burgers, and ice cream treats (Choco Taco, etc.) are also on offer.
We didn’t have to wait to order and our food took about 10 mins. However, this may not be the same on the weekend or at sunset (it closes at 8:30pm). But with the beach a mere 20 feet away. I think you can handle it!

Food was great. Bathroom was super dirty and it took a long time to get food. Over all worth it for the food.

Hidden gem! Showed up around 6pm for dinner. Put our chairs and stuff on the beach, then headed up to order some food. Had the fried clam strip roll, onion rings, and my mom had the whole belly clams. There are a bunch of tables to sit at, or you can bring your food right down to the beach.
The food was AMAZING! I love seafood, and grew up on the cape, but these were hands down the BEST clam strips I’ve ever had! They were enormous and thick and juicy. The belly clams were even bigger and were really tasty as well. The onion rings were huge and crispy! Everything was SOOO good, I don’t know how I’ve never heard of this place, or why no one has Unilocaled it.
The strip roll was $ 7.95, which was so affordable for the best strips I’ve ever had, and I was stuffed after!
One of the pros about this place is that you can tell it’s clean, even though it seems like a beach food shack at first glance. And they’re open past 8! One con is that once you place your order, the servers scream out your order number, and it can be kind of annoying. Maybe if they give each party a large number to display on their table, and then the servers could go and find the number, it would work better.
Bottom line — top notch seafood on a top notch beach. Do not miss it!
