Riley's Coney House

Decided to try this place out when I learned that they offer Ipswich whole belly clams, which are pretty uncommon around these parts. The platter is $34.99, which is pretty expensive, but you do get a pretty decent pile of food for your money. I enjoyed my meal overall, but I will say that the clams should have fried for another 30-60 seconds to be perfect. They were underfried for sure, and the breading wasn’t crispy and kind of started to fall off when I would pick them up. Service was quick and friendly. I would consider coming back to try other items, but I doubt I would order the clams again without specifically asking them to fry them a bit longer.

We stopped by for dinner and there were two other tables with 2 people at each. The waitress asked if we had a reservation which we didn’t and she still got us seated. We have young kids in our group and you could tell that it was overwhelming for her. She missed an order of fried mushrooms and a cheese burger order. We tried to order for the smaller kids and the waitress focused on them and not what we were trying to tell her they wanted. The food came out good. The chili cheese fries and onion rings were really good. I ordered the sausage dog with onions and pepper and the Ruben dog. Both were really good. The cook who I believe is the owner said he makes them fresh every morning. We would definitely go back. Felt bad for overwhelming the waitress.

Stopped in shortly before closing time (didnt realize it at the time)...waitress was friendly, attentive. Had the haddock bites...they were perfectly lightly coated and flaky inside as should be...followed by chocolate cake that was delicious as well. Will be back.

We stopped in on Friday at lunchtime for their Beer Battered Haddock Fish Fry Friday. 12 ounce filet lightly Battered with fries n slaw for only $15.99. According to the owners Facebook posts business has been slow and we like to support our local businesses. They run daily specials and we were in the mood for their Fish Fry Friday their clam chowder and we absolutely had to try one of their burgers based on the photos they post (also, Mondays special is BOGO 1/2 price on the behemoth burgers!). So we asked our server, Hannah, if it would be possible to get the fish lightly battered and she went back to ask the owner/chef. We were sitting close to the kitchen, heard her ask and heard him bark back a loud "no" but then just as quickly changed that "no" to a "yes"! Customers were comin
