“ Fresh fresh fresh I tasted sweetness of fresh clams and scallops.100 times better than some tourist trap in the cape. ”
“ I love this place! It has an old fashioned outdoor setting with picnic tables, and on the other side of the parking lot a beautiful pond where some ducks and geese gather together. The take out has a variety of food choices for everyone! Fresh fried or broiled delicious mouth watering haddock. The shrimp, scallops, clams and lobster are as fresh as if you caught it yourself directly from the ocean! However it has the BEST SEAFOOD AT A GREAT PRICE. The price range is above and beyond Reasonable for the fresh delicious seafood, they have chowder and hot dogs and so much more on the menu! The chowder is delicious. The onion rings are homemade, so are the french fries. Better then going to the beach! Also one can top of their delicious food with ice cream they have a variety of choices. A great simple fantastic choice for food. Enjoy! See you there! ”
“ We were visiting the area and on our last night. We called right as he was about to close for the night, and he stayed open to make our order, even though it seemed like he had a long day. Excellent service to start. We got the order to go and everything was delicious! The fried clams and halibut was cooked well and still crunchy after the 20 minute drive. The star, though, was the lobster roll. The lobster was abundant and cooked PERFECTLY. We got them hot and served with butter. While visiting the area, we had 3-4 lobster rolls and this was the best we had. Highly recommend! ”
“ We dined here this evening and had a great meal. My brother-in-law, who has lived in the area his whole life, said out of the three similar places in the area, he enjoyed this one's food the best after the meal was over. The service was great and the girl taking our order was very flexible in helping us make changes to the meal when we ordered incorrectly (if you want fries with the lobster roll, make sure to say 'lobster plate' not 'lobster roll'). All the food came hot and delicious. Lobster rolls are served on a croissant, which is an awesome idea. A bit messy to eat, but great flavor! We especially enjoyed the clam strips with their tartar sauce--even my sister did and she doesn't typically like tartar sauce. The fries, both regular and sweet potato, were very well cooked. We all shared a cup of cookie dough ice cream for dessert. They were out of many flavors as their delivery is coming tomorrow, but it was ok. We were there with a baby and there was plenty of safe space far from the road for her to run around, and it wasn't crowded at all so when she pitched her fit for having to sit and eat, we didn't feel like we had to be self-conscious about it. Tables were clean and everyone seemed to be sanitary in their practices. Overall a great experience we'd love to repeat. ”
