John's Footlong - American restaurant in Provincetown - 309 Commercial St # 5, USA

Good food and a perfect location to hide from the crowds. While you can order food to go, you can also relax and people watch on their patio above.

A great place to grab something quick to eat while you're walking around. Good Staff, good food, and quick. Lots of classic American options. Didn't take long for the food to come. There is a cool rainbow crosswalk right there as well.

Best fried scallops I think I have ever had. Sweet and juicy, just barely breaded and cooked to perfection. Got them on two different days and they were exceptional both times. Scallops are expensive but one order feeds two generously as a late lunch- order to split and the per-person cost is very reasonable.

The foot-long hot dogs are, of course, the most well-known thing that they serve here — but honestly, the whole menu is delicious! The fried dough, especially.

Ahhh, nothing brings back the childhood memories like a visit to John's. As a kid, we used to always stop at John's after a whale watch and it was those great summer memories that brought me back this year. We used the Long Point Shuttle earlier in the day and with a half an hour before our bus, I made the split second decision to order the chicken fingers basket, just like when I was younger. It tasted even better than I remember. The portion is huge and is definitely big enough to share if you're looking for a lighter option. It's actual white chicken, nothing that looks like it's been run through a grinder a few times. The fries were hot and crispy and plentiful. Sometimes, you just need a break from the seafood or sit-down dinners when you're on vacation, and I'm so glad to see that all these decades later, John's still sets the bar.

The Portuguese Rice is their hidden gem. Every summer my family always makes a visit to John's Footlong to all get our favorite P-Town snack. We have been trying to replicate it at home for years, but I think the crucial missing ingredient is the people watching while enjoying a bowl of the rice while sitting on the bench at Lopes Square!

The food was great for the most part. The Hot DOG and clam chowder was good. The Lobster Roll however was better at Kelly’s near Boston Logon Airport. Also tap water in a cup should be complementary with purchase of anything. I was very thirsty and wanted water (I did not want bottled water as it is overpriced). The cashier said that will be $1. This is outright ridiculous. I’ve been to many restaurants and places similar to this establishment in similar small towns and they gave me filtered tap water and ice free when I asked for it with the meal. This is unacceptable and I probably won’t be back. It is already overpriced as it is. At least have the courtesy to offer tap water and ice for free with purchase.

Amazing as always. Every year we stop for these scallop rolls and every year they are amazing! High quality. And they aren't so caked in breading you can't taste the scallop, they let the star speak for itself.
