Great Spot for a Casual Seafood Lunch! I went here for a late birthday lunch with my partner because we were hungry for seafood Our waitress was super friendly, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We were seated in a cozy booth, and I immediately noticed the fun decor--tons of license plates from different states, some with funny names or messages. It added a quirky, welcoming vibe that we really enjoyed. The atmosphere was good, but not too loud. I started with the clam chowder, and my partner had the lobster bisque--both were absolutely delicious. My chowder had a generous amount of fresh clams and was rich and flavorful, but it wasn't heavy fo my stomach. For my main dish, I had the blackened white fish with coleslaw and fried sweet potato. The lemon was the perfect touch on the fish, the coleslaw was super fresh, and the sweet potato fries were crispy and satisfying. Overall, we had a great time. I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

Each year our family reunion is celebrated in NSB and for the weeks preceding all I can think about is my first meal at Boston's Fish House. The service is top notch and if anyone notices that you need a refill they take care of you, even though they aren't your server. It feels like a family member is running the place and taking care to ensure a good meal and welcoming atmosphere. Boston's isn't a big restaurant so peak dining hours will probably mean a wait, but it's definitely worth it. Their New England Clam Chowder is silky smooth in the most luxurious way, filled with fresh meat and undoubtedly made from the finest ingredients. Several restaurants in NSB serve a good clam chowder but Boston's is my favorite. If you want to treat yourself get the bowl size serving but the cup size is a great starter choice. We visited twice during our one week stay. The first time I got fish and chips and the second time I got the 12 piece jumbo shrimp dinner with fries. Both times I chose the baked beans for a side. You can't go wrong with any choice but those beans are great. There's no way I can eat 12 shrimp so I always have the treat of a snack the next day. My husband got the blackened mahi mahi and said it was fantastic. The second time he also chose the 12 piece shrimp dinner but with coleslaw and onion rings! Take a look at the picture, the rings were terrific. I definitely prefer the thinner rings over the large ones that some places serve. Boston's is a must for visitors to NSB. The menu states that it's the best seafood in New Smyrna Beach and they certainly get my hearty recommendation. read more

Outstanding, the way seafood and sides should be, looking forward to going back. If you like onion rings, don't hesitate.

Stopped for fish and chips. Nowhere in New England would you find the fish nuggets that were served to me. Fish was mushy and batter was bland. Fries were fine but the onion rings again were bland with no seasoning in the batter. Service was friendly and efficient and portions are great. Has the Cape vibe going on in the dining room. Wasn't impressed. (FYI I'm a Boston Native). read more

My friend and I were looking for a seafood place to hang out for a late lunch. After doing a quick Google search, found the Boston's Fish House in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I had the shrimp wrap with sweet potato fries (which were yummy). The wrap was stuffed with moist, fresh shrimp along with lettuce and celery. So good. My friend had the Blackened Mahi Mahi Sandwich with fries and she said it was delicious! The service was fine. The restaurant itself has a laid back vibe. There is outdoor setting where your furry companions can hang out with you! read more

Got to meet up with some friends for lunch at a place we both had on our radar, Boston's Fish House in New Smyrna Beach. The vibe is New England and the food definitely reflects that part of the country. We did an order of Ipswich Whole Clams while a couple of us decided on the Lobstah Rolls with onion rings and a cup of Chowdah!!! Food...excellent. The chowder was thick, rich, and creamy just like home. We had not ordered chowder initially until we saw a cup delivered to another table. The lobster rolls were loaded with tender claw and tail meat, just the right amount of mayo, and more importantly on a Nissen grilled bun. Also tried the clams...great flavor and the bellies were full of Ipswich goodness...LOL. Overall you felt like you were back in New England enjoying seafood in a small coastal shanty. Our server Susannah took excellent care of us and didn't bother us while we chatted and caught up well after the plates were cleared. read more

We came back to Boston's and were so excited to see that at 1 pm on a Saturday (holiday weekend!), that they were slow! Indeed, we were seated almost immediately. Unfortunately, that is where their efficiency ends. We waited so long on a server (they kept walking on by) that we had to ask the hostess to please send someone. Eventually, the server arrived without so much a mention as an apology for her delay. She wakes by us multiple times without even a glance. This place is small, so she definitely saw us. We had to ask 2-3 times for each thing we needed. (Lemons and cocktail sauce?). We had to flag her down multiple times. As someone who has worked in restaurants for years, her inefficiency to me signals "new server" or "I don't know how to do this well". The food was... different. Heavy batter on the shrimp, no salt or other seasoning at all to the batter. The broccoli salad was mildly seasoned but the cole slaw had absolutely no flavor at all. Everything was.. bland (in comparison to our last visit a year ago). I don't know if it's new owners, but this was a disappointing change in one of our absolute favorites places to eat while at NSB. I hope the next time we come over from Orlando that it has improved much more. Would be a shame to cut this place out. In fairness, this server seemed to be the only one working inefficiently. One off day after years of great food isn't enough to drive by. Stop in!! read more

We visited here our last two years of vacation; great experience each time! Had the special tonight which was the fish and chips plate - 6 ozs. Of haddock and cod lightly battered and fried golden brown. Came with fries and your choice of 2 sides- I had the broccoli salad and coleslaw. Both were delicious accompaniments to the meal. Our server, Meghan, was very upbeat and pleasant. She got our orders correct and was a wonderful asset to the restaurant. I highly recommend both the location and the server. read more

Cute little local fish house. I visited after a morning at the beach. I just got a cup of the lobster bisque and it was delish. It was creamy and had little bits of lobster in it. The staff was friendly. My friend ordered the lobster bisque and a lobster roll. She enjoyed it. I'd visit again. I need to try more things on their menu. The only thing I didn't like was the bathroom. It could use some sprucing up. read more

Just as I remembered the food. It's been way too long! Patron since OG/WP, IYKYK Great meal with my family.

Clam chowder 10/10 recommend to a friend every single time! It's so delicious, always served hot even when we order it to go while staying at the beach, full of clams, perfect consistency, and great flavor. It also made for a perfect photo op. Service 3/5: our server was nice enough but not over the top. And a lot of the other staff working would crowd together to chat and once overheard them complaining about another worker. There was a red head server there waiting on the table next to us and she was FABULOUS, I heard her chatting away with her tables, checking on them often, and just genuinely a great server. Appetizer trio 4/5: fried calamari, clam strips and shrimp. It's a lot of fried food but it is yummy. The clam strips are my favorite. The calamari was pretty good but a little tougher than I like. Fish sandwich 4/5: I personally thought it was messy and slimy and not that good. But my husband thought it was delicious. So I guess you will have to decide for yourself! read more

Maybe it's because we asked to sit outside but we were pretty much ignored. Which was a problem because my coconut shrimp was not throughly cooked. Cooked shrimp is not translucent. By the time waitress came back we were ready to leave. Very expensive for a so-so salad. Not going back. read more

Always enjoyed Boston's before, but this time it was a great disappointment. The Mates Combo is my favorite because it's a little bit of everything. It's also large enough for dinner the next day for me. Sometimes I don't have enough time to sit down and eat there , so I get the combo to go. This time, it was cold and limp like it was leftover. I keep a blanket in the car to wrap around any of my take out orders so that they're still hot and fresh by the time I get home ten minutes later. Also, I always enjoyed their coleslaw but this was different. Are they new owners or under new management? Or was this just a one time lapse? I don't know, but I do know that it's hard to pay 30 bucks to see if I'm gonna get another subpar meal. And who else is gonna have those delicious fried whole belly clams? Very sad and up in the air about whether or not to go to Bostons Fish House again. read more

It's a tropical storm and I am eating at Bostons. It's an all seafood restaurant in New Smyrna Beach Florida and I am craving my seafood. I have lived in the desert for so long that I forgot what it is to have fresh sea food. Clam chowder for the rain, check. Raw oysters nope they don't have them and I was craving them. Ended up with the grouper which was good as well as the key lime pie. Something was missing in terms of a little flair but it was still good enough that I didn't mind missing out on the oysters tonight. Would love to see some additions to the menu but not bad overall. read more

Clam chowder, shrimp all styles, and grouper are special! Service is always excellent. For many years, our Go-To place for seafood at NSB!

Stopped in as a passer by. Amazing food! Best grilled shrimp Ive had in this area! Homemade onion rings! We will definitely be back!

We all really enjoyed the food. It was a very causal dinner, super quick service, and the seafood was pretty good. It all came out piping hot, which was great. It's definitely a lot of fried food, but it was good. The scallops were just a smidge over cooked and I know my friend was disappointed that they were all out of the swordfish. But all in all it was a good dinner! read more

Good food and good service. Our server was exceptional and so pleasant! The shrimp is always good.

Hand an excellent meal yesterday with my sisters. Lauren B was a great server. Filled water glasses promptly. Seafood was fantastic, best Grouper, Salmon and Swordfish ever. Broccoli salad was delicious. Popcorn Shrimp was plump and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend for seafood read more

Everything was fresh, crispy, hot and well prepared. Great service from the bartender as well. We will be back.

Had the Blackened shrimp and onion rings on their early bird menu. Onion rings were really good, they are lightly battered. The shrimp were a bit over cooked, but had good flavor. They staff was very friendly and helpful. It was about 3:00 so they weren't to busy yet. Definitely would eat here again. read more

Great New England seafood. We enjoyed steamers & whole belly fried clams. Steamers were good, served with piping hot water for rinsing and melted butter. Fried clams were excellent - sweet and served with a good tartar sauce and 2 sides. We had fries and onion rings which were good. Got an extra side of cole slaw which was sweet & juicy, the way we like it. We didn't get the clam chowder, but the tables near us were served with giant crocks for the bowl and smaller crocks for the cup. The cup would be plenty if ordering a lunch or dinner, too. The huge crock looked like a meal on its' own. The waitress we had was exceptional (friendly & efficient). The only negative impression we had was of the inside of the restaurant, which could use a good makeover or at least a major cleaning. It was busy, after 4:00 pm, (but it was a Sat), so apparently people are there for the food, not the atmosphere. We would return for the food and service, if in the area, as good New England seafood is hard to come by. read more

Went for the fried clams which you can't get in many places down here in Florida, especially with the bellies they wanted $37 which is ridiculous so I got the strips. They were like rubber very disappointed will not go back. read more
