Sit at the counter, mull over the menu with a fresh cup, and watch the day go by from the window. I love that the kitchen and dining room are staffed by the two sisters.

My favorite quirk is the Portuguese sausage - linguica; all the way in Gloucester? Count me in. Is every dish executed perfectly? Certainly not. But you can taste the love and care in every dish.

There was a good amount of lobster. The fish tacos had a little kick to them. I got the seafood stuffed pineapple and I honestly think it's the best meal I have ever had in my life! I love the curry coconut cream. It didn't have a strong curry flavor to it, it was the perfect blend of coconut and pineapple. There was a lot of seafood inside and the rice was delicious. I wish I lived closer so I could have it again. I need to learn how to recreate it!

We have been going here for the past four years for our anniversary. This year we went to get and…read moreit has gone downhill so badly. I can't even describe it. I don't know who's cooking the food, but they suck! Ordered a rare steak got a medium rare almost well done in parts. It was covered completely with this disgusting saucen alleged demi glass. Allegedly it was on smashed potatoes. They were like a bricks, and they also had pork in them, which is not something I was expecting at all. Not in any way mentioned on the menu. My husband ordered the lobster bisque. It was thickened with flour no lobster and no lobster flavor. very thick and gluggy. He ordered the lamb chops. They were also covered completely with the same disgusting sauce. He's not one to complain, but I am especially when you're paying those prices. I'm hoping that Tobin, who is part of the family and allegedly in charge of the restaurant, reads this takes and takes it to heart because this restaurant used to be good now it's disgusting. Not ever going back. We'll find a new place for our anniversary that takes food quality serious. Get a new Chef that actually knows what they're doing and pay them well!

Charlie's Place Gloucester Mass…read moreWe decided to visit Gloucester in February 2026 as a way to help our relative get her new home ready for move-in. We took a Saturday off to do a little touring. After spending the morning touring Cape Ann, enjoying all the beauty there was to behold, we decided to go to Charlie's Place for lunch. It has the feel of a hometown diner without any appearance of a greasy spoon. The interior is very well maintained, extremely clean and pleasantly decorated. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. My sister-in-law had the pepper burger, which was smothered in red and green peppers and she ate every bite. She also enjoyed a cup of the fish stew. She has returned to Charlie's many times to have it again and again, it is that good! Large chunks of haddock crowd the serving while swimming in a buttery, thin, creamy broth. My husband and I made a meal of splitting three items: a bowl of the clam chowder, which has the authentic New England taste we were looking for, a simple turkey sandwich on rye and a side salad which was huge. We felt completely at ease in this restaurant which is obviously a local favorite and left feeling stuffed. The prices are very affordable. We truly enjoyed every bite in our first, but definitely not the last, time visiting Charlie's.

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.
