Customer Reviews
First time stopping in here today, should of just stopped by hannafords and made lunch. Fries were good, tenders were tough and shrimp was previously frozen or something and just gross. End of the year but I didn’t know that mattered with quality of seafood. I didn’t read anywhere it was fresh but assumed due to reviews.. maybe a sandwich would of been a better pick, probably won’t find out.
WOW! This is some of the best (if not THE best) fried seafood I have ever had. The quality of the seafood itself is fresh and full of flavor, and the battering is just lovely… Fried to a perfect color. Even the fries, which are on the darker side, were absolutely delicious; perfect crunchy shell around a soft interior. Service was also great, even on a busier evening. I was able to peer into the kitchen while I waited for my food, and I have to compliment how clean and organized they keep it in there! Highly recommend.
Delicious food, quick service, a very casual setting. There is enough outdoor and indoor seating. CASH ONLY but there is an ATM machine on premises.
2024 Update: still a five star experience! Lobster roll was simply lots of meat and the whole belly clams are delicious. Not greasy. Also they are closed Tuesday and Wednesday and they close between 3-4 p.m. There is nothing on the web indicating that.
Huge portions and very fresh, even the tenders were handmade. We got a 2 way plate,fried pickles,and a chicken finger and honestly,the 2 way plate would have been plenty enough for 2. Service was very quick and polite. Be hungry when you come,you are gonna need it!
