(Vacation day) I'm not sure how it is at night but at this time of day more of amiddle age group. We will definitely return Read more

Love Sam the Clams! One of my favorite places for great food and ice cold drinks. And I can't forget to mention the delicious... food as well! I've never had a bad meal at this place whether I'm sitting inside or outside to dine! Read more

It was just okay. We had a larger party?7 of us in total but we did call and make reservations ahead of time. First time going... there for most of us. When we first arrived there weren?t too many people but by the time we were leaving it was pretty packed.The apps took forever to come out about an hour wait!! And we received an app (spinach dip) we didn?t even order but also gotcharged for it. The table next to us asked our waitress if the oysters we received were theirs apparently they were waiting onoysters too. Our apps didn?t all come out at once so that was annoying. And $52 for a lobster roll is ridiculous so we decidedto skip that (so many other places are cheaper)! I want to say about 30 minutes later we finally received our dinner. Thewaitress apologized and said the kitchen was backed up and she?d bring another round of drinks for everyone- well we got chargedfor that round. I thought she was comping it. Overall it was an okay time and for a $250 bill I?m looking for more than just?okay?. Their saving grace was that most of the food tasted good so that?s the only reason I will give it another try but if ourwait times/kitchen is the same then I will not be going back. Read more

I always came here for the wonderful Lobster Roll made just the way I like it and now this new and AMAZING Lobster Grilled... Cheese has me coming back! The onion rings are cooked perfectly every time, and I just recently tried the fried ribs which werealso very good. The ribs are fried differently than I?ve had before, and they come with sauce on them that is very spicy, so Iwould ask for it to be on the side and not directly on the ribs. The fried shrimp is also very good. Read more

Pretty darn good. Solid CT Lobster Roll (warm with melted butter). Buffalo Tenders we?re nice and crispy. A tad pricey, but I?d... happily go back and try some other stuff! We saw a burger that another table ordered that looked pretty good! Short brunettewaitress who has worked there for 15+ years was a treat too. Seemed like her family all worked there! Read more

Food was good , pricey. $220 for 2 with couple drinks. Place was renovated very clean. New staff don't recognize the girls who... worked there 20 plus years Portions were smaller while price is up there. $45 pint of whole belly clams. $2.50 for shrimp notimpressed with shrimp. Mixed reviews will come back to give it another shot ???? Read more

Rustic little place, but the vibe was good. Sat outside. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I like prices on my menu. I understand the... seafood market is fluctuating, but just post prices somewhere or print a sheet with the menu that shows $ without me needing tobother the waitress with "how much is this, how much is that". Still, enjoyed my lobster roll and craft sour beer. Curly frieswere tasty, but the promised salt shaker never came. Filled my need for a little bite of seafood on a trek home for a businesstrip Read more

Excellent food and service! They were close to closing for the night but our server was great and didn't rush us. I appreciated... that since we were on vacation and would not have had dinner otherwise. Being in the food industry myself I could relate and weshowed our appreciation with a hefty tip. Great job staff!!! Read more
