We were in the area and hungry. So, I looked on Yelp for a good place to eat lunch. We were very…read morehappy with everything. The place is small and only has a few tables. We got a whole chicken that comes with two sides. We chose the rice and beans and salad. Everything was delicious. I love their green sauce. We also got ceviche and liked it a lot. We were really too full, but I wanted to try a dessert, so we got one to go. We got their rice pudding mixed with this purple rice pudding thing that I don't remember the name of. It was so hot and I couldn't wait to eat it because it looks so yummy. It was truly delicious. I will definitely be coming back

I have ordered takeout before but today I just needed a moment to sit and enjoy something comforting . This place and the chowder did the trick. The place has been around since the 30's so that says a lot. They do have tables outdoor under a tent but I love the nostalgic vibe of the inside counter with the little stools. You can watch them fry up all the goodies. I was immediately greeted, sat and my beautiful bowl of chowder came. The service is endearing and though my first time dining in, they treated me like I was a regular and they do with everyone. Maybe that's why they have been around so long. Good food is great but service that makes you feel like you are a regular is top tier. As The clouds rolled in the thunder struck and as the rain poured down, I enjoyed my lovely bowl of New England clam chowder. They are heavy on the fresh clams and just right on the potatoes. They do have the red chowder and their Long Island version which is a mix of the 2. This just hit the spot all around and on a day like I was having today, filled my soul. I'll BE BAck for the good fried goodies next time. Thank you!

When Long Island Clam Chowder is an option, that's always the option I choose, and Bigelow's does…read moreit better than most. As someone who isn't the biggest fan of tomato based soups, but doesn't always want the heaviness of a cream based soup, this is the best of both worlds. Its flavor was rich yet balanced. The cream brought a smooth, velvety body and subtle sweetness, while the tomato added a bright acidity and savory depth. Potatoes provided gentle heft and earthy comfort, while onions, celery, and herbs built a layered, homey backbone. There was a good amount of tender clams, with natural sweetness that tied everything together. We also got an order or mini crab cakes. The exterior was golden fried, with a nice crunch. The interior was more crab than filler, with enough structure that it held together. It was simply seasoned, supporting the crab instead of overshadowing it. The horseradish Dijon sauce was more Dijon than horseradish. It brought a gentle tang and little bite to add a depth of flavor to the crab cake. Also of note, when you sit down they bring tartar sauce and cocktail sauce to your table. Both sauces were honestly the best of their kind that I can remember having in a very long time. I couldn't even tell you what made them so amazing, but I must have commented at least 7 times about how good they were. There's a reason Bigelow's has been around for almost 90 years. It's a simple spot, with old school charm, that knows a good thing when it's got it, and doesn't mess with perfection. It just continues to serve up consistently good fried seafood (with a few grilled options so you can drag your health conscious friends and they'll find something too).

We added in sausages and noodles. Potatoes and corn come with the order. I recommend the voodoo experience sauce as it is a combo of all their sauces. Since the menu orders are by the 1/2 or 1 lb, I really appreciate that Voodoo Crab puts the approximate number of pieces next to to the weight so you know how much you are really ordering. Service: 5/5 The service is friendly and upbeat. Staff are quick to explain the ordering process if it's your first time and are attentive throughout the meal. Food comes out promptly, and they keep things moving smoothly even when the restaurant is busy. Ambiance: 4/5 The ambiance is lively and casual, with a fun, high-energy atmosphere that fits the seafood boil experience. It can get pretty loud during peak hours.

My go-to spot used to be Red Crab, but this place has officially taken the top spot. I came here on a whim to celebrate my friend's cousin, and every single dish we ordered was a hit.

Everything was cooked just right, and you could tell care went into the preparation.
