George's Surf N Turf is a throwback to a bygone era, and I think that time has now gone by for George's. We rarely eat fried food, and when we do, it better be good. We placed our order at the window: * Sea Scallop Plate - $28.95 * Fish Filet Sandwich - (haddock) $9.50 That came to about $41 with tax, and they only accept cash. They have an ATM on the side of the building in case you're a crazy person who typically pays by credit card or phone app! We grabbed a shady spot at one of their many picnic tables. George's has plenty of seating, and a play area for children, both are very nice. They are dog friendly which is also great. Our food order was ready quickly. I carried the tray over to our table. We started by tasty some fries, which were hot and relatively crispy. And that's the best thing we could say about our lunch. The sea scallops were relatively small, and a little dry. The fish portion inside of a hamburger bun was tiny, my co-diner said the amount of fish was a joke. About a month ago we dined at Juicy Seafood in Worcester. The scallops there were excellent and the scallop basket which is similar to George's was $19.95. So next time I'm near George's Surf N Turf, I'm going to keep goin' by, and drive to Juicy Seafood if I'm craving fried scallops. read more

Food was generally good. Fish was a bit drier for my liking but nothing was greasy which is always a sign of a good fry place. Onion rings were solid. Is it the best, no, but top 5, definitely. read more

Delicious lobster roll! I love this place, it's casual and family friendly. There is a sand box and playhouse for the kids and lots of grass to run around. It is all outdoor seating. The line can get long but it's worth it. Their prices and portions are good. The lobster roll is 19.99. It was the perfect amount for me, I really enjoyed it. It does have a mayo sauce with celery, which I liked. read more

Back in time! The 50's tunes crooning over the parking lot. Great fish, onion rings ( the shoestring to die for version), clams, scallops. Great burgers & Ice Cream. Cash only(atm available). Great summer stop!!! Feel like your 17 again! read more

Great casual spot to pick up some delicious fried seafood on the side of Rt-16. Outdoor seating only, but it's covered so even in a drizzle it's entirely doable. The food is delicious, cooked perfectly, and comes out fast. In the winter I always look forward to the weekend that George's will be open and spring will be here. read more

Prices on here (pictures from other people) are wrong. Tiny portions. $44 for medium portion of seafood plater. Four bay scallops (asked for sea scallops), itty bitty shrimp, and boatloads of French fries. Cash only establishment. ATM charged me and then never dispensed $$. read more

Do your self a favor and go somewhere else. Stopped in for some ice cream with my family and was thoroughly disappointed. Employees were rude, portions were insultingly small and way over priced. The trifecta of bad. Never again. read more

Food was good fried Clam plate was good French fries so so The joke bag was just right ! Food Comes in. Joke paper bag with activity printed with word search Jokes etc. Choice of Meat,French fries,cookies and a drink plus a toy all for$7.95! Cheeseburger was tasty and a good size small French fry was good small drink was just enough! Disappointed with the "toy" The graham cookies were a nice little dessert! Lots of picnic tables ! Next visit here will be an ice cream trip! No room for any ice cream after the meal!! read more

July 4th went for the the seafood platter unfortunately the fish portion was not as advertised mostly fries disappointed.

I had ordered 2 Seafood Platters at $34.95. OVER PRICED!!!!! One with the clam belly and the other with clam strips. The only problem was that they both only came with one measly piece of shrimp. We were so disappointed a lot of fries and scallops and barely a half dozen on the clams. Once again sorry but I will not be going back. read more

Amazing service very friendly personnel. Food is cooked to perfection and beautifully prepare.

I live in CA and every time I come back to visit they are not open. Finally, I came back during the summer and got to have some whole belly clams. I also got an order of onion rings (which to me was the best thing). The clams were good, and I enjoyed the batter, so no complaints. They no longer allow substitutes, so if you want the onion rings you have to get a side order. Definitely not cheap, but I enjoyed the meal, and I am glad that I got the chance to stop over. read more

Stopped yesterday afternoon for a couple of dogs and a chocolate shake. Placed my order with a very pleasant young lady, it was ready in no time and was absolutely fantastic - exactly as it should be! I have stopped here several times over the years, and never had a bad experience. read more

Did not like the idea of a special fathers day menu. Drove over an hour for a seafood platter, just to find out not today. Guess my $40 is good another day, just not fathers day. Extremely disappointed. read more

Throwback carryout window. Great fried fish. Onion rings are excellent. Good quick efficient service. Fair prices. Oicnic tables to eat at, place is great. read more

Looking for a great fried seafood place and don't want to have to travel to a water front town, George's surf N turf is the place to stop. On a really nice summer day the line is usually long but the wait is worth it. The only down side is that is is cash only!!! (So you have been warned to come with cash) luckily though there is an ATM in case you forgot. I think the prices are far for what you get. The outdoor seating is always fun for the family, plus they have a small kids sandbox area. The clam cakes are amazing and one of my favorites to get here! I also love that the kids meals come with toys, keeps the little ones entertained while we eat! Definitely a favorite spot for the summer! read more

Food is quite inconsistent. Service isn't the fastest. Food is still good, though. Stick with their seafood--it's better. I also like the outdoor vibe, it's quite nice to eat food outside. read more

I thought the lobster roll was a good deal and inexpensive but turned out to be expensive as I just busted a filling on the shell, ouch! Tasted ok but be warned read more

George's Surf N Turf - Busted a filling on the lobster shell - Seafood Near Me - Mendon, Massachusetts

Plenty of food. Fried clams were above average. Services was quick. Nice outside atmosphere.

I ordered the seafood platter w/whole belly clams and sea scallops. It was hard to tell what was what. The shrimp looked like clam strips and were disappointing. The whole belly clams were very small and I thought perhaps I received the clam strips instead but did find one with a small belly. The piece of haddock came in small pieces and it was hard to tell what was fish vs. scallops. It's pricey for the quality and I most likely won't go back. read more

I've eaten here for over 20 years. The food, service and sitting outside is great! However, I recently went and were not very happy with my fish sandwich that was ridiculously small. All the other times it was a good size piece of fish. It's one thing to raise prices but to cut portions at the same time makes it "not a good value". I can't be throwing my money away like that. read more

Typical burger & fried food place. Was good tho no credit cards. Kid & dog friendly. Even had pupCups ! read more

Delicous!!! We had the fish and chip, crispy fries , light and crispy battered fish. White chowder was to die for. Clam cakes were small and delicious. read more

I've been going here for years now and I've never had a bad experience. The clam cakes and chowder are especially good. The service is great and the outdoor dining is perfect for New England. read more

My absolute favorite place for summer seafood fare!!!! This has been our go to for decades (back when it was The Redwood)!!! For 2 people we usually go with one seafood platter and one side order of haddock. Along with our frappes it's usually more than enough. The seafood platter comes with haddock, bay scallops, clams (whole or strips), a couple pieces of shrimp, fries and onion rings. Along with coleslaw and sauces. Everything is delicious except the fries...they're just average restaurant fries (nothing hand cut or anything). They have other options too....hamburgers, hot dogs, other seafood options, vegetarian and ice cream!! They have plenty of tables to eat outside in a covered setting or you can opt for carhop service when available and get served in your car. read more

Always really packed so plan to wait for your food if you go in good weather but they do a good job managing it and the foods pretty good. I will say it's likely not worth the price (everything seafood is expensive for what it is) but it's always fun to go and eat outside over the summer, the ice creams good too. I'd recommend their whole clams rolls read more

Food is to drool for!!! Sitting outside on a beautiful day on benches just feels sooooo right! The service is quick! Just make sure you take cash. They don't take cards but do have access to an atm if you forget! read more

Driven by this place a million times. Always wanted to check it out. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Apparently, the whole belly clams were on the small side according to the person behind the counter. It wasn't cheap at $45.50 for two plates for my wife and I. Nothing else like drinks. The portions were good for the price though. Batter was nice and crunchy with a nice briny sea taste. Fries were nicely cooked as well. Personally like them cooked a bit more. Now I'm nitpicking. Kinda bummed that it's the end of the season. I'll be back next year to have some of that seafood goodness read more

George's Surf N Turf - Whole Belly Clam Plate w/ fries - Seafood Near Me - Mendon, Massachusetts

We've been to George's Surf N Turf several times a year for many years, going back to the Mendon Drive-in days. The seafood has always been amazing - light, crispy batter, perfectly cooked and, until Friday, I thought it was a good value for the price. We went for a late lunch, ordered our usual fisherman's platter ($32.95), no fries, and paid a $8 upcharge for sea scallops, a total of $40.95! Rather than a platter, the food was served on a single plate, four whole-belly clams, two fried shrimp, fish, seven onion rings, and BAY scallops. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious, but quite a disappointment. Darlene Lachance Woonsocket, RI read more

Found the food to be pricey, greasy, and somewhat overcooked. Fish had an ammonia odor and tasted off. Tried it again and was not a fan. read more

ANYTHING here is good. Clam chowder could be best I've had (including Legal and Boston Chowder Co)... always fresh and staff is super friendly. Been eating George's food since they started in Linwood and everytime I come back to town when they are open I stop in... hoping they can make the Manhattan next year- it's the ONLY ONE I eat! read more

I tried the whole clam plate and finally after 3 years of trying the whole belly clams were pretty plump and juicy. However for the price of $29.91 I think more than 13 total fried clams would have been fair. so disappointed, i won't go back now, no way. Peace ! read more

Found this place by accident and we will be back! Felt like we were at a seaside stop. Delicious fried seafood and the place was packed! Cash only. An ATM on site. read more

We'd gone there years ago and enjoyed it. We visited this week and the food was just OK but the amount by of food was disappointing for the money we paid. We got the seafood platter $32, upgraded to the sea scallops ( +$8.00)which increased the price to over $40.00. For $40 dollars we got only 4 fried clams, 2 fried shrimp, the scallops seemed like pieces instead of full size sea scallops and certainly not enough for the $8. upgradeand several chunks of fish. There were enough fries to feed an army. It seemed like that were used as a filler. Over all l felt like we paid way too much for what we received. read more

Food is good. Onion rings are my favorite and I come just for them. Cash only and A LOT OF IT!

Classic New England seafood doing it right during the pandemic. Great food, great service, and all the right social distancing. Had the whole belly clams and so sweet. Brother and daughter had the whole clam plate with fries and Cole slaw. Great slaw they said and tasty fresh fries. In the wonderful town of Mendon on Route 16. They have the picnic pavilion open with every other table blocked off. read more

Food was fresh and yummy! Only downside was the .25 cent charge for every extra sauce

I love George's (formally known as the Redwood). In our family, it's called either/or, depending on what name we remember first. I've been coming here practically since I was born. To this day, I enjoy coming here with family to get great tasting and great priced seafood. Although all seafood dishes are great, I also love their unique daily specials, from the fried mushrooms to their veggie burger and spicy fries. George's Surf & Turf will not disappoint. P.S; along with their soft serve and hard ice cream options, they offer a strawberry shortcake that is to die for (and I believe it is under $4!). Take cash out of the ATM and enjoy a delicious meal you won't regret! read more

Awesome food, great space for kids to play and enjoy themselves. It's not a rush so a nice place to just hang while you eat and don't forget the ice cream and cash. read more
