We are on the Cape for a long stay and just love the ""Oyster!". I had the Shrimp and Chicken Piccata last night and it was heavenly. I'll be back for this same dish before we leave in mid-June!

This is areally tiny place so be sure to make a reservation. The moment you walk in the door everyone makes you feel welcomed. This is unusual for a tourist town. The raw oyster are extremely fresh and really good. My husband had a Caesar salad that was not traditional but not bad. It had bacon! I has the steamed... More

Drove to the Cape for lunch since my wife and I have birthdays to celebrate. After cocktails, we ordered Po'Boy Oyster sandwiches. They serve about 5 different French fries for your choosing. The sandwiches were delicious but not quite at the New Orleans level. The staff was friendly and efficient.

Excellent dinner at the Impudent Oyster. I had a salmon noodle bowl that was both filling and tasty. My husband had a spicy cod and chorizo dish that was also delicious. We did not make a reservation because it was off-season and a week night, but in the summer a reservation is a must!

I had dinner here with 2 friends and loved it. It's a bit of a tight squeeze and on the loud side, but the food is excellent. I will be returning.

Food is fantastic, but pricey. Service is terrific. The only drawback is,very tight seating. This is a place that I would highly recommend to anyone.

We were referred to this side-street restaurant by several Main Street shopkeepers. Clearly a local favorite.The salads were creative and the one we tried was delicious. The wraps, too, paired some unusual ingredients but again, were seasoned with a master touch. The hardest part was deciding what to order as everything sounded wonderful. Observing foods carried by passing waitstaff, every... More

Having family in Chatham we frequently had lunch at the impudent Oyster. It was always fantastic, food, service,and atmosphere. But for some reason my husband could not see it as a destination for dinner. On Cape Cod it is impossible to find a dinner restaurant that takes reservations. My mother-in-law is 94 and waiting an hour to be seated is... More
