Fun place. Staff was excellent. Food was outstanding. We ate in a booth around the big bar area so it was lively. There is quieter seating available. We ate early so we missed the live band that was just setting up. btw, the chowder is even better than Capt P's and it come included as a side dish!!!!!

Absolutely love this place!! I probably would never have heard of it but I got a gift card so had to try it out. I wish I could remember our waitresses name because she was amazing. Service was super quick but not in a bad way, we didn’t feel rushed at all and we are not the type to sit at the table for too long so it was perfect. The food was just amazing, great music and positive atmosphere 🙂

Wanted to give a bit of an overdue shoutout to Oliver's & Planck's Tavern in Yarmouthport. We enjoy the Cape every year and, probably like so many people, find ourselves going back to the same places over and over again. We've made it a goal coming out of Covid that we'd do our best to branch out and try new places. Thanks to this group, we landed on what may be our new favorite restaurant.

Driving up to Oliver's & Planck's we were happy to see a good amount of parking and a very light and nautical themed restaurant when we entered. I especially loved that they had dining tables in the front part of the restaurant, then the bar and more tables in the back. This allowed for us to have a quiet dinner when one of the nights we went happened to be on trivia night. What a great way to cater to two different dining experiences at the same time.

The menu has great options at very well appreciated prices. Of course, we started with the chowder and it was a perfect balance of potatoes and clams while being creamy and not too overpowering of any one flavor. I was craving a steak but don't like when it comes out too black from char, and our waitress was extremely accommodating to that request. It was perfectly cooked and had great flavor and the red mashed potatoes were a great side and a nice change of pace from fries. My mom ordered the broiled scallops and loved them so much she would have probably licked the bowl if that was socially acceptable in public. They were buttery, the crumb topping had great seasoning too it that had a nice flavor and the serving size of potatoes was very generous. The meal came with bread and I added a, pretty strong, vodka lemonade drink that was on their menu to the meal. We were so impressed that, a few days later when we were contemplating adding a day on to our trip, coming back here was a reason we decided to!

The second night I had to go with the same steak. Once again our waiter, different this time but no less accommodating, made sure it was perfectly cooked. I went for the fries this time and they were an equally delicious side, you can't go wrong with any form of potato that you want with your meal. My mom switched it up, barely, by going with the fried scallops instead of broiled. She couldn't believe how fresh they tasted and how the breading didn't over power the scallop. The baked potato was good too and if really pressed about it, she seems to say she would go for the broiled on the next trip, but it seems like you can't go wrong with any scallops served here. Once again we went with the chowder and pink vodka lemonade and once again it was very strong drink. A highlight again was the rolls, they are so good!

Overall, we are so excited about this restaurant and are happy to have had two great meals here on our first two visits.

Resto not far from Mayfair beach. Tried the stuffed quahogs which was alright. Pizza was huge. Seafood kale soup was nice and hearty, comfort food! Also had calamari and salmon!

Went here today excited to eat ham as I loved it last year. They had been an hour and ran out. Other tables were disappointed as well. Had to end up ordering a burger as everything else on the Easter menu was nothing I would eat. After leaving I ended up ordering from another restaurant and spending double the money I planned

Overall, it was a fine dining experience on a busy, busy Thursday evening. Tasty specials highlighting a variety of flavors and a cornucopia of colors. A shout-out to the Haddock Nantucket. Clam Chowder was thick with clams and a hearty taste. Service was challenged by the number of tables being served, but they hustled.

Every facet of the experience at Oliver's was fantastic! The waitress was suburb at her job. The hot food was hot and the cold food cold. I'd credit the waitress and chef working together on that. We were never left wondering where the waitress was. She was attentive without hovering. I had the fish and chips plate. It may be the best I've ever had. It was a long and thick, fresh fillet. The breading was light and did not affect the fish flavor or texture. It was cooked flakey and moist. The tarter sauce was a nice complement with great flavor. To put this review in context, I'm a native Cape Codder who loves seafood.
The tavern is large enough that the bar can be roudy, while the booths were quiet. The lighting was bright enough to read menus while low enough for atmosphere.

When everything was close they were open. Not only that but the pizza was delicious. The bartenders were top notch too providing good service
