Delicious summer shack. Fish tacos are the best . Service and fast and friendly. Perfect way to end a day at the beach or watch a Duxbury sundown.

Just had dinner here and in the back of my mind I felt that Blakemans is trying to be THE neighborhood summer gem. I have eaten here in the past for take out but there is a inside dining section which serves seafood and other items beach fast food items like quesadillas, sandwiches fries, etc. This time we actually sat inside which was primarily to be in the shade since it's been really hot out... 95°. Personally I wanted to eat outside but the hubby insisted. So the ambiance is shack casual... so casual where you have random fishing net lights, photos and signs that cover the walls with picnic tables, sandy sub flooring and humongous trash barrels between picnic tables and plastic pool chairs. We sat on plastic chairs in the square picnic table by the door to get some sea breeze. They have ceiling fans and screen porch windows in the front. Their silverware was plastic and take out paper plates. Now that I confirmed the beach shanty ambiance, here's the hilarious part.. Blakemans is literally on the beach that shares the changing room on the other side of building by the parking lot. Indoor showers are out of order and zero outside shower to rinse off. So, I am still wearing my beachwear which consists of a well padded bikini top and a fully covered bottom wrap. The host who seated us inside never mentions a dress code but once we ordered our food, our server sublimly said "do you have a shirt you could put on"...lol!!!! Look, I completely respect and understand what an appropriate dress code for dining in but if you looked at this place without any exaggeration, what I wore was completely fitting! Then again, I can understand that this is a private restaurant with dresscode but a) it was practically empty b) the families with babies are way in the back just in case they might have thought a bikini top was distracting ( I don't have huge boobs either) c) it's a beach shack...with plastic ware!!! Did I mention the gigantic trash barrels right next to us?? This is such a joke! Without hesitation I of course complied...I respectfully get it. I changed and wore a crochet netted long sleeve shirt over a bralette...hmmm. Now to the food... I ordered Pinot Grigio wine that arrived in a small bottle with a plastic dental cup hanging over on top that you get on airlines, hubby ordered beer and my daughter ordered a very sugary bottled lemonade...the one that you can dilute with a bottle of water and have two lemonades. We ordered the dozen oysters, a crab cake and the lobster rolls. The Powderpoint oysters were good except I'm surprised it wasn't Island Creek oysters which are actually close by and delicious... Figured they might do business with them. The lobster rolls were just okay. The portions were generous but the flavor was a little off for me. As much as I preferred melted butter on a lobster roll, these were traditionally made with mayo with pieces of celery but they had additional spices which isn't completely necessary if the meat is good and sweet. I eat a lot of lobster rolls and I found that this particular lobster meat on the dryer side with a lite chipotle sauce after taste. Our entrees were served with one small coleslaw which was absolutely horrible and tasted like tartar sauce and their curly fries which were ok. The crab cakes were pretty good and plumpy and I think they mixed a little corn in them. There was no dessert available to order in this fine establishment so no comment there. The service was a bit scattered. I thought we had only one server but they were various servers bringing our food and throwing away our leftovers to the arm length trash barrel. Everyone seem to be relatively polite and the majority of them were recent college students. The only time we saw our original server was at the end when she brought our bill. The eatery have only one unisex bathroom that is handicap accessible..no lock...only a hook...some kid tried to open the door after I yelled "there's somebody in here"...Can this moment get any better? So in conclusion I don't know if I would come come back for a dining experience. It's just not that "wait in line around the corner" place that it could potentially be. There needs to be a lot of changes with everything. I understand that this place has been here historically but things could use a wake up call and "get real" to bring more business...the place was practically empty inside.

Amazing casual seafood shack on Duxbury Beach. They have indoor and outdoor/ patio seating with great views. We got the loaded clam chowder to start, which is a must try. The lobster roll was massive and very fresh. Great local beer selection as well (Scituate's own Untold brewing). Highly recommend!

The food is right on time after a day on the beach. I love the fried clams and oysters. The shrimp are huge. We've been told at varying times they are out of lobster or oysters. Older woman approached my daughter with "put a top on" which upset & embarrassed my daughter. Regardless of the lack of tact in how that was said, we adore this place and will come every time we go to beach. It's a hidden gem with fantastic food & great service by the young service staff.

Perfect beach side shack to end a long day at the beach. The drinks were cold, the lobster was hot and the waitstaff were kind and attentive! Great find

A local beach side shack at the end of Gurnet Rd to grab a few beers/wine and some fried apps/seafood. Not overly big but a cozy little spot to relax in for a bit. Few small tables and booths and some high tops. Nothing but seafood (lobster rolls, fishermans platters, raw bar etc) and some apps like french fries, mozz sticks, onion rings, chicken fingers etc. Stuff you want when you're at the beach and on vacation. Few beers on draft, Cape Cod/Cisco and bottles of Corona/bud light/ sam summer. Nice little spot for when the sun is setting and you want something simple and on the beach. Lines form so get there early or be prepared to wait. Not for large groups but up to roughly 5/6 people. Staff working are young, attentive, and nice. They were great when splitting the bill on a few cards.
