I really appreciated the amount of fresh meat packed into the toasted brioche bun. However, the seasoning was a little too heavy on the mayonnaise, which masked the natural sweetness of the lobster. The side of French fries arrived piping hot and perfectly crispy. It is a decent option if you are craving seafood, though it needs minor tweaks. Overall, it was a perfectly average meal that left me satisfied but not entirely blown away. The Fried Clams which were a mixed of textures. Some of the clams were beautifully sweet and tender, while others were noticeably overcooked and chewy. The batter had a great crunch, but it lacked the necessary seasoning to make the dish pop. I also ordered a side of onion rings that were greasy, though they still had a decent flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful for a casual dinner. I might return eventually, but I am not in a rush. The shrimp looked fantastic when it arrived at our table with a beautiful golden-brown exterior. Unfortunately, the shrimp themselves were a bit rubbery and lacked that fresh, snappy bite you expect at a seafood joint. The French fries were standard, nothing spectacular, but they served their purpose as a side. It was a perfectly mediocre dining experience that did not justify the slightly high price tag. Despite the okay service, I will probably look for a different spot next time. If you want a cushy 11-to -7 this isn't it. This gig is seasonal, which means you have a small window to make your money and bust your tail.

They have this practice of hyping items on their website then after you drive ten miles to get it, you find out "it was too windy for the fishermen to go out" or whatever. Then you are compelled to purchase something else because you made the drive. If they can't get an item listed on thier weekly online menu, they should take it off! Total "Bait and Switch" move. It's 2026 and they don't even have a phone you can call them on to see if they have the item. " too busy to answer a phone" Hire someone then! They have pulled this bait and switch on me several times, no more. I'm done. Cherry St. Fish Market is much better.

For me, she made one of their special holiday drinks called "A Partridge in a Pear Tree," which had Absolute pear vodka and Prosecco in it. We shared a side of their famous onion rings and baked scallops casserole, topped with Ritz crackers, for dinner. It was delicious and plentiful. It came with two sides, so we had their fresh broccoli and wedge salad (iceberg lettuce & tomatoes), which Tawna brought out before the entree, which was great! This quaint neighborhood bar/restaurant, which has been around since 1961, was also festively decorated. They hung garland and lights from their ceiling, which looked awesome.

The result was a slightly less than warm roll, but the FLAVAH! Delicious and the chips were good too. Anything Lobster is a bit of a splurge but very worth it!

They barely had any of the seafood advertised, and even when deciding what to order, they referred me to a menu that they actually could not offer. On the brink of hangriness, I ordered the fish tacos with haddock because there were no other options, and there was barely any fish in the tacos. I wish they had been honest that they did not have what I was looking for. MOST memorable was when the waiter profiled me and decided to go on a fanatical rant for about fifteen minutes, as to why I should read the New Testament and accept Christ. The owner witnessed this interaction and my obvious immense discomfort, and didn't do a thing. Oh, and the tostones said they came with an aioli/sauce and they gave me ketchup. Honestly upset that I paid for any of this.
