Absolute legend of RVC. Place has been here for a long time and once you try their food, you understand why. Easily the best... chowder you can get near anywhere. Sure, the prices are "high" but when you get such high quality, you have no issue paying it.It's a world different than any can and most restaurants in quality Read more

My 5-Star rating is based on taste and freshness of the food, cleanliness of the restaurant, and above average staff/service.... I've driven by Bigelow's quite a few times and decided to make a stop for some fresh seafood. I am huge on customer service andstaff are extremely friendly, which made it even more enjoyable. Thanks Anthony! I felt like family. I ordered the grilledsalmon sandwich with lettuce, tomato and grilled onions with a side of cole slaw. It was a nice portion of fresh fish,beautifully grilled and juicy. Cole slaw was okay, but it was all about the seafood for me. Definitely coming back for more. Theonly thing I would do different is dine-in, instead of takeout. I had a long drive home! Read more

My wife and I just ate here for the first time. We had the fried clam strips (of course), the onion rings and the calamari.... Everything was super fresh, and though fried nothing was greasy. Big portions and excellent service. We'll definitely beback!! Also, though there is only indoor seating, all the windows are wide open and plenty of ventilation, so we fealt verysafe eating indoors.

I had read about this place in a few different places and have been meaning to check out a place renown for its fried offerings.... I came with my son and since the portions are large, we could only try a few things. We ordered the New England Clam Chowder,the fried clam strips, fried oysters (more for my son), and the onion rings. First, we ordered a cup and it must be a largeserving since they generously offered to split it for us and we ended up with a good sized portion cup each! The soup was thickand hearty and chock full of clam meat and potatoes. The clams and oysters were perfectly fried with just enough breading tobalance against the meat. But if we?re being honest, the onion rings were simply amazing. My son is particular about food and hewas talking about the o-rings for days afterwards. The onions were crispy as well as the crispy breading. And for all the frying- nothing was oily. Amazing! The service was good and there appeared to be rigorous cleaning of tables as people left. Yes, thedecor is ? cozy but, hey, it?s a fried food shack. Yes, it?s a bit pricy for what it is, but as a guilty treat, wonderful. Read more
