★★★★★ 5.0 Gabe Lopez · Jan 2026

This place is fantastic! I have been here a couple times and have had great experiences. The staff is great and super friendly and the food is sold. Great hot dogs and burgers and the fried chicken sandwich is perfection. Their clams are always a win. Highly recommend it.

It was okay. First time having a lobster roll (got the hot one). It was surprisingly small for $30. It wasn't bad. But nothing to be amazed about. Definitely not worth $30 imo. Onion rings were good. Birch beer too. But disappointed after all the hype about lobster rolls

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Anthony · Jul 2025

Disappointed. Saw a pic of their seafood online and it looked good and was piled high so decided to give it a try. That wasn't my experience. Paid $40 for their fried seafood platter and it was definitely not worth it. See photo and judge for yourself. 1 flounder filet, 2 shrimp, maybe 5 little bay scallops, and and about the same amount of small whole belly clams. The menu on the board actually showed clam strips (online showed whole belly). I wanted strips and the order taker confirmed it came with strips but it did not. Maybe would've been halfway acceptable if everything was top notch but it was not. The fish (flounder) was very fishy. The whole belly not great. The fries tasted like frozen fries. The shrimp and scallops actually tasted good but so not worth it with the small amount. D

Before heading to the beach, we stopped for a quick lunch at Johnny Ad’s! There’s something on the menu for everyone, and the staff was friendly at the window. The lobster roll was packed full, and all of the food was delicious. A nice casual spot that we would definitely return to!

The food was fantastic. Blew my mind that they provide single use plastic for dining in. How is that even legal.
