This place is a notch above your typical clam shack. It's a cool location on Pier 3, which is a great spot in nice weather.... Seating is at picnic tables with umbrellas, and they're dog friendly! The atmosphere is casual, as you'd expect for a place likethis. The food is tasty and fair value. This restaurant is related to the Black Whale restaurant across the parking lot, so youknow they have access to good products, and they prepare them well. Our meals were hot, not greasy, with good flavor and youcould tell the cooking oil wasn't old. All good signs when you're looking for this sort of place. Stop by and give them a trysometime!

Life is short F......it up ! Family, Flavor, Friends. Great lil place in the docks. We started w the clam chowder- very... savory and flavorful must get. Next fisherman's plater got the beer batter ver. Pretty standard make sure to ask for the spicytangy sauce. Next was the carprise chicken sandwich then the lobster roll - they serve it cold or hot. We opted for cold. Theroll was buttered and savory and has a good texture. The portion was lil small other wise 5???? Read more

Very nice place right in the New Bedford harbor. Self service, low key, nice ambience. The lobster roll with fries was pretty... good. Yes, it's expensive but nobody said lobster is cheap. Tip: Try their house-made lemonade, with lavender if that'savailable. Read more
