Check Out This Lobster Bargain at PTown's Post Office Café

The Post Office Café lobster special is among Provincetown's best deals, just $18.

I stopped in for lunch at the Post Office Café the other day, just in time for their lobster special. I got the last one before their afternoon delivery would arrive a few minutes later, bringing in another batch of lively lobsters, right out of the water.

My fresh, tender, local lobster was served with coleslaw in a light, mayo-based dressing with just a slight sweetness to it. I’m not a big fan of coleslaw, but I ate every bite of this one. There was also a big ear of corn on the cob, and this quintessential New England seafood meal is just $18 when ordered with a drink of $3.50 or more. I had an Arnold Palmer, blending a big, frosty glass of iced tea with pink lemonade. Other soft drinks are also available, along with beer and wine, and an array of specialty coffee drinks and cocktails from their full bar.

P O's Arnold Palmer, made with pink lemonade.

Seating at the Post Office Café is indoors or outdoors on their patio, or you can grab a stool at the bar, and if you have dinner here, you’ll get priority seating for shows in the Post Office Cabaret, above the dining room. There will be a full lineup of performers of all sorts for Columbus Day and Women’s Week celebrations, October 10^th to 16^th, so keep an eye on the marquee box in front of the P O to plan the shows you’ll want to see.

In the meantime, stop in for a lobster while this special is going on. I’ve read all the ads I can find, and searched menus in other Cape Cod towns I’ve visited recently, and haven’t found a better deal on a lobster lunch or dinner anywhere on the Cape. Bon appétit!

Enjoy the Last of Provincetown's Off-Season Lunch Specials

Betsy's Friday fish & chips lunch special is a great PTown meal bargain.

During the winter Bayside Betsy's, at 177 Commercial Street, has been offering not only their Friday night fish fry, but also a Friday lunch special, which will disappear in the middle of May. There are two more Fridays left, till May 15th, to get Betsy's Fish and Chips lunch for just $8.99.
This lunch was among the best meal bargains I found in PTown last week, with a huge piece of haddock fried up in a crispy coating, served with fries, coleslaw, lemon, tartar sauce, and ketchup for your fries, and your choice of soft beverage. I had the iced tea. Get yours before it's gone.

Soon we'll find fresh local strawberries, and blooming flowers at Far Land once
again. Those smiling faces are always there. Photo is from Far Land's website.

Far Land Provisions, at 150 Bradford Street, also has at least one more Friday fish special, but I'm not sure how many more Fridays it will last. Go this week to be sure, and get your fried cod sandwich with a caper-basil tartar sauce, lettuce and tomato on a toasted bulkie roll. Click on farlandprovisions.com to find their website, and scroll down the page to find hot sandwiches they've been making over the winter. These. too, will likely disappear shortly as the season gets busier, which is already starting to happen, so now's the time to taste their black bean burger with a lime-cilantro aioli, or hot pastrami or turkey Reuben, or other hot choices. Once they become too busy to make 'em, we'll have to wait for winter to bring back Far Land's hot sandwiches. Enjoy them while you can.

Bubbles' last lunchtime fish fry for 2015 is this Friday at the Governor Bradford.

Governor Bradford Restaurant, at 317 Commercial Street, offers their wintertime hot lunch specials for just two more days. Today, Thursday, May 7th, they'll serve meatloaf with mashed potatoes and hot vegetables, and Friday, May 8th, will be the last day for Bubbles' lunchtime Fish Fry specials for the 2015 season. It's a generous serving of golden-fried fish served with coleslaw and a mountain of French fries, with lemon and tartar sauce. Each of these meals is just $7.50, with a soft drink included, which probably makes these lunches the best meal bargain in Provincetown this week.
