A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Jay was over the house one day and we were talking about lobster rolls and where the best ones were down at the Cape. I was telling him about the Barking Claw and he told me about Quahog Republic.

The restaurant is a dive bar with large LCD televisions on the wall and keno at the bar.

I started with the quahog chowder ($4.50) that won the Cape Cod Life Upper Cape gold medal. The chowder came with apple wood smoked bacon, red bliss potatoes and a little cream. It was flavorful and hit the spot.

The “monsta lobsta roll” ($26) is seasonal and comes with tail and claw meat with a little bit of mayo. You can get some hot butter on the side as well. The sandwich was enormous and came with heaps of lobster meat.

The potato skins ($12) came loaded with cheddar and mozzarella cheese and were served with a side of salsa and sour cream.

The burger with bacon and a fried egg, because all burgers should have a fried egg on top! While this was a delicious burger, the sheer height of it made it hard to eat.

While chili technically isn’t on the menu (you can get your potato skins topped with it) we got a bowl of it. Pretty tasty, it seriously hit the spot.
