    Outside signage

    I was up at Massachusetts Maritime Academy today and it was lunchtime when I stumbled upon this wonderful little eatery. East Wind Lobster and Grill is serving up fresh seafood that is sure to impress even the most discriminating of palates. The lobster rolls are $33, but they are delicious. They serve them with a side of French Fries and a side of coleslaw. The fries were piping hot, crispy and delicious. The coleslaw was very good as well. They also put a couple of house made pickle on the plate for good measure. The hero is definitely the lobster roll. It's piled high with fresh lobster and it's simply amazing. The lightly toasted roll sets the perfect foundation for this incredible sandwich. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I finished the whole platter, it's certainly enough to split between two people. If you're a fan of the lobster roll, check out East Wind Lobster, you'll be glad you did and you can rest assured that you are supporting the local restaurant community!

    I thought I had posted this review but I hadn't so here it is from a number of weeks ago now. This is what I would call a quintessential "New England seafood shack"..in Buzzards Bay (which is the gateway to Cape Cod. being as it is on the mainland side of the Cape Cod canal)...but don't be turned off by the word "shack". It's actually a sweet and terrific place. Take "shack" to mean casual which this place is. It was only moderately busy the late afternoon we arrived. This is a counter service and "seat yourself" place. Both my husband and I ordered the shrimp tacos after the young woman at the counter recommended them. Once we ordered we found a table and enjoyed waters, a glass of white wine for me and a beer for Tom. The wine came in a plastic cup which is so not ideal but I get it in a place like this where you bus your own table after you have finished. It seemed to be taking quite some time for our food to arrive although we were enjoying our drinks and talking. Suddenly, the woman from the counter came over to us and profusely apologized saying somehow our ticket had been misplaced and the cooks were only then starting on our orders. She then offered us each a cup of soup of our choice as an apology. This was lovely and we took her up on the offer. I am sorry to say at this point I can't remember what we ordered; two types of chowder I believe...Tom and I each ordered something different so we could sample each other's. All I can remember was that we loved the soups. When the shrimp tacos arrived, we had not been steered wrong: they were delicious. Filled with well seasoned shrimp and all the fixings. So yummy. Other things on the menu include lobster rolls, clam cakes, chowders, and other assorted fish items. My understanding is that this is a family run place. It was a great find and if it were closer to where we lived, we would be regulars.

    I really can't say enough good things about this place! While in the area, we picked up lobsters and steamers here twice - which were delicious. Also came in twice for fried clams (whole belly) which were delightfully good - sweet and not overly greasy. Very happy to find out that you can sub other sides for the fries - (bakes potato as pictured, but also onion rings, sweet potato fries and other things available). I ordered to go - and there's plenty of space outside to wait until they brought it out (which was very quick- less than 10 minutes). There is a lot of outdoor seating if you wanted to dine there - and a nice view of the marina/water. Will definitely come back here again!!

    This was a great visit to this stop, a complete change from the last visit here. I had an amazing grilled shrimp taco plate. The seasoning is just exceptional, like nothing I have ever had. I kid you not, these were total perfection. They have remodeled the interior and it really looks exceptional. I wish I had gotten a shot of it, but really with an awesome deck to go out on and exceptional seafood, you totally need to check this place out.

    Shrimp po boy with fries. Fries are just ok. Sandwich was great

    Place looks old but it's small and powerful lol. They served good food. They made exception for me and created a shrimp po boy. It's not on the menu but they made it work. It was delicious!

    Came with friends who know the place well. Not from these parts, and they knew it. We had to try the whole belly clams. Which we did and so glad we did! Delicious! I did reach for the salt cause I thought it needed it. But they were good. Loved the chowda. I love when it served nice and hot, which it was. My daughter got the lobster roll. She said it was good. I didn't taste it. We shared clams casino, 2.00 each which were just ok. Loved the feel of the restaurant. Mom and pa kinda place, with a fish market that caters for those " to go". I saw great family specials on the board. Fish and chips family style for 35.00. That's gonna be my To go order ! Can't beat that ! All in all a enjoyable meal.

    Supposed to be a cooked Lobster.

    Great food. Friendly service. No frills but price is right. Wine serving was small in a plastic cup.

    Holy yum. Breakfast bagels were amazing. The bagel itself was dense in a good way. Perfectly crisp…read moreand chewy. Not too hard. I got Asiago cheese bagel (sausage egg and cheese). The white cheese they used (idk which) was so yummy and added perfect flavor to the bagel sandwich. Most days I'd probably only be able to eat half but I was so hungry today so the full sandwich was good. They serve Starbucks and that was perfectly made as well (I got hot white mocha). There was an awkward situation where one staff member tried to hand us our bagel order then the other staff said it's not ready and they proceeded to go back and forth, confusing us as to whether or not we were okay to take the bag. Turns out it was the correct order, but only half of it. One staff member just wanted to put the second half of the order in the same bag and the other didn't understand that - causing confusion for us as well. But good service for us regardless just a little awkward. Cute store and good breakfast options. Would go back!
