    Lobster carbonara
    Krystal K.

    We went weeks ago, and I'm STILL thinking about their lobster carbonara! We went while visiting Gloucester, and Decklyn's did not disappoint! We took advantage of their 1/2 price raw bar happy hour and indulged in delicious fresh jumbo lobsters, oysters and clams. The rum bucket was fantastic, our kiddo was pleased with her pasta, and I am in LOVE with their lobster carbonara! It was so, SO good!

    Haddock tacos

    We love Decklyn's and are so happy to see they now have the tuna tacos from the C.K. Pearl menu. This is one of our favorites dishes on the North Shore. You absolutely need to try these tacos. 5 stars!

    This is a family owned restaurant with a scratch kitchen. The drink "ghost of Carlos"is an homage to the former restaurant that was a local staple for years - Carlos' Restaurant that was previously here. (The owners retired.) Another, bit of local insight is that the owner has named some of the mocktails after his kids and his dog. The servers are knowledgeable, extremely accommodating, and friendly. This couples well with a mellow laid back (midweek) vibe. (We were told that Thursday- weekend is much more crowded and lively with live music.) Now on to the food. The oysters were fantastic - very fresh and flavorful. The lobster was, in a word - perfect. It had the perfect balance of just enough mayonnaise and salt. Freshness that must be tasted. (The restaurant abuts the docks of commercial fishing boats.) The blackened chicken salad was very hardy and flavorful. Dessert - Flourless Chocolate Cake. It had great flavor and was unbelievably rich. It was nicely offset with freshly made whipped cream and a raspberry reduction. Finally, I'd highly recommend giving Decklyn's try. It has a nice balance of indoor and outdoor dining options with and excellent balance of service and delicious food options!

    Was in the mood for a frozen drink. Someone suggested we go to Decklyn's. Greeted with friendly staff and a nice spacious , clean restaurant. We sat on the deck. Both appetizers ( haddock tacos and calamari ) were fantastic. Nice location - Will definitely go back to try a few things on the menu.

    Dozen raw oysters with mignonette dipping sauce
    Christina B.

    56 years of exhaustive research for the best steamed mussels ever and last night I found Valhalla in Decklyn's MUSSELS. Steamed and served in red curry, coconut cream, corn, and cilantro broth with crostini. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. My husband and our friend shared two dozen raw oysters and especially raved over the mignonette sauce. We also had lobster bisque, lobstah salad, beef brisket, ribs, and fried clams. Props for Allagash White beer but the Beachwater cocktail (vodka, elderflower, pomegranate, pineapple, cucumber, and basil) is a must. Seriously though, I'd fly back from the Pacific Northwest just for the mussels and broth. (We sat outside on the deck to enjoy a lovely summer evening. Our server was friendly and attentive.)

    Fried Haddock Sandwich

    I went tonight for the first time with the new owners. It was great to see a familiar face behind the bar. The menu is a little strange for our area, doesn't make too much sense- snacks, to share plates, 3 sandwiches, burritos and tacos??, and then plates. I ordered a fish sandwich. Cost $15. I ordered it figuring like most sandwiches in most restaurants would come with chips or fries. Nope pictured below is what arrived. A sandwich on a side plate. Not only that the sandwich only has tomato on it- the menu mentioned Cole slaw and tartar sauce, neither where to be found. The fish was cooked well and they use Virgilio's bread. I hope to see some changes before summer arrives, including some side with a sandwich.

    Fun on the deck with friends!

My husband said the baked haddock was the very best he's ever had. My Mediterranean salmon was also outstanding. My mother and sister raved about their appetizers, including jumbo shrimp, clams and steamers. Everything we ordered was excellent. I was especially pleased with the serving size. Some restaurants have a nice presentation, yet small serving size, but not Seaport, it had both. To top it off, the Sherry Berry is a dessert everyone must try! Perfect finish to a perfect meal. In addition to the restaurant itself and amazing food, the service was excellent. We were greeted by the extremely friendly manager, Carter, and were well taken care of by our personable waitress Kristina. She was so attentive and pleasant throughout our whole meal. Kristina was so busy, but she made us feel like we were her only party! By the end of our meal, we felt we made a friend during dinner and we will be back to see her requesting her table! Can't wait to return!

    Harbor Views, Fresh Seafood & Coastal Charm at Blue Collar Lobster Co.!…read more Few dining experiences capture the spirit of Gloucester quite like Blue Collar Lobster Co. This charming waterfront seafood spot earned an easy five stars from us and was the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing meal before heading to a concert at The Cut. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the setting. Located right on Gloucester Harbor next to the iconic Gloucester House Restaurant, this cozy nautical eatery offers everything you hope to find on the Massachusetts coast: refreshing sea breezes, colorful lobster boats bobbing in the harbor, seagulls soaring overhead, and spectacular waterfront views in every direction. Inside, the atmosphere is delightfully authentic. Hundreds of colorful fishing buoys hanging from the ceiling create a fun maritime feel that immediately reminds you that you're in one of New England's most historic fishing communities. Before long, the four of us were happily sampling some of the restaurant's fresh seafood favorites. We enjoyed creamy clam chowder, briny oysters on the half shell, succulent shrimp cocktail, and delicious Bang Bang shrimp, all accompanied by cold drinks and unbeatable harbor views. Every bite tasted fresh and flavorful. The ordering process is simple and convenient. Check out the menu, place your order at the window, grab a tray, and find a seat. If possible, choose a table in the screened porch overlooking the water. There's something magical about enjoying seafood while watching fishing boats come and go from the harbor just a few feet away. Blue Collar Lobster Co. offers an impressive menu featuring fresh lobster, handheld sandwiches, fried seafood platters, soups, and appetizers at reasonable prices. The combination of delicious food, friendly atmosphere, stunning scenery, and excellent value makes this a destination we'll gladly return to again and again. If you're visiting Gloucester and want an authentic waterfront seafood experience, don't miss this hidden gem on the harbor- on the Seven Seas Wharf! Highly recommended!

Hungry and with no time for deeper research, we decided to try Causeway Restaurant after seeing its high Yelp rating. The restaurant shares a small front parking lot with White Farms Ice Cream, but fortunately, we easily found parking in the back. Our first impression was that the place feels quite outdated. The tables are packed very closely together, making it difficult to get to your seat or even visit the bathroom without accidentally brushing against other diners. There's also only one bathroom for the entire restaurant, and it could definitely use some refreshing. The biggest issue during our visit was the heat. It was 86°F outside, and unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn't working. The restaurant was very hot, and I genuinely felt bad for the staff who had to cook and serve in those conditions. We also felt like the cutlery, dishes, and glasses were a little outdated and could use a refresh. Updating these small details would make the overall experience feel even nicer. On the positive side, Causeway is BYOB, which is a nice option. According to the menu, they charge $1 per glass for beer and wine setup. The menu prices are comparable to those at much fancier seafood restaurants. We ordered cheeseburgers from the kids' menu (ours were supposed to be medium but came out a little burnt), as well as smelt and fish-and-shrimp platters. The seafood itself was fresh, although we felt it could have used a little more seasoning and salt. The absolute best part of our experience was the service. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant. Our server was especially attentive and wonderful with the kids. We even noticed how warmly she greeted regular customers and treated them almost like family. That kind of hospitality really stands out. Overall, I think Causeway has a lot of potential. The fresh seafood and excellent staff are a great foundation, but the restaurant would benefit significantly from some renovations, better spacing between tables, a refreshed bathroom, and working air conditioning. With those improvements, the fairly high menu prices would feel much more justified.

Looks like they are generally open 9am-6pm daily, sometime early May through year end. Order at the counter inside their little shop, pay, and head down the little alley (hold on tightly to your stuff so you don't accidentally drop anything enroute) to their back deck with limited seating, and access to their bathrooms. Listen up for your name and they will bring you your food on a tray. A family of three shared the 3 chicken lobsters for $50 during the 2025 season, and a dozen raw oysters for $30. My single lobster was $18. Single oysters $3 apiece. Creamy clam chowder $7. Stuffed clam $3. The $30 cold lobster roll came with cole slaw and a bag of chips. The hot dog roll looked small but was well filled with fresh sweet lobster meat. Her smoked salmon $8 were two thick chunks of fish. My hot in-shell boiled lobster arrived several minutes after, pre-cracked. Carefully poured out the green water, and I went at it. Making use of the sink by the bathroom afterwards to get cleaned up. A delicious way to start our outing to Rockport! BTW parking in the nearby area is paid and seasonal. Head to the kiosk, enter the license plate, pay an affordable price, and stick the slip on your dashboard. Parking tickets are no fun.
