Vel's Family Lounge - Weweantic

My husband had the seafood scampi he said unbelievable. I had chicken scampi not on the menu but they made it! Best scampi I've ever had!

Heading home from the Cape and this popped up on Google search. We weren't expecting much but to our surprise, the food was wow good. They had linguica pizza, fresh seafood, whole belly clams and decent size shrimp. The waitress was very nice, we could tell they were trying to close up, but she never rushed us once. I've put it as a place point for our next trip. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a handicap accessible ramp on the side.

I've always enjoyed dining in at Vel's. The food consistently arrives promptly and is delicious, with perfectly sized portions. The scallops during dine-in are large, juicy, and generously served. However, my recent experiences with pickup orders have been disappointing. For instance, the scallops I received were tiny, almost the size of popcorn shrimp, compared to the hearty ones served in-house which are about five times larger. Similarly, the boneless fried chicken I ordered was thinly sliced and lacked crispiness, tasting more like it was fried in fish batter. It's frustrating that the quality between dine-in and pickup orders varies so significantly. Today, feeling under the weather, I hoped for a comforting meal from Vel's, but the pickup order seemed hastily put together, as if they were trying to clear out less desirable portions at the same price point. This isn't the first time I've encountered this issue, and it may be my last time ordering pickup from here. I wish I could have returned the food for a refund. As a loyal customer, I feel undervalued when the quality of pickup orders doesn't match what's served in the restaurant. I urge you to try ordering pickup yourself and form your own opinion. Despite this, I must commend Vel's for their exceptional seafood dishes during dine-in visits—the seafood platter and scallop dinner are truly outstanding. I only hope they can extend the same level of care to their pickup orders in the future. If invited back to try another pickup order I would surely form a new opinion and review on the new changes I could experience.

Generous homemade portions that are delicious! Welcoming staff.

It’s a cozy place to dine and socialize with family and good friends. The prices of the food are reasonable. And the portion is the right amount! I had their Veal Marsala with spaghetti, and it was delicious! The waiter we had was very nice! I highly recommend having a meal at Vel’s!
