The seafood restaurant in Nantasket, bar none. Granted there aren't that many choices, but perhaps this place, a decades-long staple, has rightfully choked off all competitors. Go here, if you seek: -A pleasing view over the inland water, with sun twinkling over its waves, through large windows -A spacious restaurant where large fish unexplainably hang from above its sloped high ceiling, shaped like an inverted boat hull. -A ?sherry-heavy lobster bisque -A just plain super fired clams platter--yes that was the hands down winder. A light batter, sweet and salty clam flavor, like eating the ocean, pleasantly reminiscent of an inadvertent rinse of seawater in your mouth as a child. ANd all in a good way. No greasy flour heavy stuff. Just great. And pleasant, just the business, waitstaff. Clearly a family atmosphere still amongst all. Good fish, good stop. If only a bit of the ancient coaster was still present.... read more

Was pleasantly surprised by this place! Not sure why it has no 5 stars. Food was super fresh and tasty. We were super stuffed by it and couldn't stop eating it was so good... The drinks were ok but not bad at all. Will be back! read more

Jake's has a great atmosphere and wonderful view! It's located very close to the beaches so it's a great place to grab lunch or dinner after a day at the beach. Our waiter was very friendly and welcoming and we were seated immediately when we walked in on a Monday (Memorial day) at around 4:30pm. It was quite warm out so we opted for a seat indoors and we had a beautiful view of the water from our table by the window. For starters, we ordered the Portuguese style calamari and the Lobster bisque- both were delicious! Next, we ordered the Lobster roll and the Seafood casserole, both of which came with 2 sides. We honestly thought the lobster roll was very average compared to others we have had in New England and at a market price of $39, it's not something we would order again. The seafood in the seafood casserole was definitely fresh but we weren't fans of the mashed potatoes. If you're there for the atmosphere or a patio with views of the water, this is the place for you! read more

A trip from SoCal to the South Shore is not complete without several dinners at Jake's. The swordfish tips are to die for. The scrod is always awesome. Nice selection of fresh oysters! Ambiance surrounded by water cannot be beat! Live Jake's! read more

Food was delicious. Good service. Seafood was very fresh. Lobster roll was a little pricey but awesome. Very clean.

Fresh delicious seafood - with a great view. The clam chowder is the BEST ONE I've ever had. Can't wait to go ahead. This is our new go to restaurant. We bought fish on the way out for dinner the next day' FRESH! read more

Awesome and their whole fry line is gluten free!!! My wife had the fish and chips, I had the lobster roll (which was very good, but wish they toasted the gf roll), and our daughter had the chicken tenders and fries. Our server was a sweetie and very knowledgeable on food allergies. We'll definitely be back. read more

Fantastic experience here. Everything was super fresh. Mussels, popcorn shrimp, and oysters were all great! The Portuguese style calamari were also a hit with the calamari fans. Shrimp scampi was awesome- buttery garlicky goodness, fresh shrimp. & The key lime pie with whipped cream on top was excellent for dessert! So calming to dine outside, by the water too. read more

This was our last evening in Nantasket Beach and we had driven by and decided to stop. It was their first day opening again and they were ready with spacing, sanitizer and antibac in several locations. They had plexiglass between all booths. The staff was so friendly and accommodating answering questions and just making everyone feel right at home. Now for the best part! The seafood is amazing! There is a great assortment! I had delicious crab cakes and lobster bisque that was delicious but only small bits of meat. My daughters battered shrimp were large and delicious too. My grandson wanted fish and chips and gave it a 2 thumbs up! We went to the hotel very full and very happy! They also had a big counter full of fresh seafood that seems to be busy also. Their products looked very fresh. I strongly recommend stopping there is you are in the area! read more

Jake's was the shining star of my recent trip to Nantasket Beach in Hull! My partner and I were craving seafood and planned to get something along the beach but Jake's popped up as a recommended restaurant just a couple blocks away so we decided to try and get a table before the evening rush. We sat outside on the deck and had a really pleasant view of the bay and Rocky Neck. We also got the treat of some golden hour sun! The staff was great, everyone was really nice and accommodating, asking us if we needed anything and how the food was. Our server went MIA once but it was starting to get busier inside so we didn't mind too bad. It also took a bit of time to get our food but it was totally worth the wait! For an appetizer, we got the Sautéed Swordfish Tips and they were amazing! So tender and perfectly cooked, pleasantly flavorful, and a surprisingly good zing to the Cajun spice. We absolutely loved these. We also got a Caesar salad that was delicious! For an entree I ordered the Asian Glazed Salmon. The piece of salmon was huge and cooked perfectly, with a great crisp to the skin side. The teriyaki glaze was also really flavorful. The portion was huge and exceeded my expectations! My partner got the Lazy Lobster Casserole and thought it was really tasty. Very good portion of lobster meat. The market price was a little steep but it was worth it for an authentic seaside dining experience. The side of French fries we got was also great, not too salty and perfectly crisp. Overall, Jake's was excellent, we'd absolutely go there again and should definitely be the go-to spot for anyone looking for great food in or around Hull, MA. read more

I've been here 4 times in the past 18 months & have always left pleased! Asian Glazed Salmon - so good I got it twice! 5 stars Cajun Shrimp Po Boy - great portion, great flavor. 5 stars (only item I have pics of, sorry) Lobster Roll - a bit smaller than I'd expect for the price. Jake's doesn't mix the mayo or butter with the lobster which is odd, but there's a disclaimer on the menu so can't knock off point for that. 4.5 stars Oysters - fresh every time! 5 stars Onion Rings - a must get. 6 out of 5 stars! I've sat at the bar twice and had the same bartender twice. Kathy is amazing! Quick, personable & thorough! Will keep coming back! read more

Jake's Seafood Restaurant - Beautiful views, great service and amazing food/drinks. Sean is a very knowledgeable waiter (and easy on the eyes). - Seafood Near Me - Hull, Massachusetts

Great location by the water and food is fresh and plentiful. Great place to spend a warm evening.

We went to Jakes last weekend. As always, Jakes didn't disappoint! The steamed mussels are divine! The sauce is just addicting...definitely a family favorite. We also got the raw oysters, shrimp po boy, Caesar salad, chicken breast meal, asian glazed salmon x 2, fried strips, onion rings and chicken finger meal. The baked chicken is my favorite. The chef always makes it how I like it, well done. I really appreciate that. There was also a cocktail or two thrown in! lol! The food was delicious, still not a fan of the gluten free coating but that's ok. Sean was our waiter. He said he has been there 16 years, truthfully he looked too young to be working anywhere for 16 years but I digress! I don't know how we haven't met him before. For a while we were going two - three times a week. He was completely on point. Charismatic, attentive all around great! Truth be told, walking into Jakes is like walking into a relatives home. The family is so friendly and welcoming, the wait staff are all fantastic. Its a wonderful dining experience! Worth the drive! We will go one more time before they close for the season...actually maybe twice! read more

The views are great here and the restaurant has been bright and clean each time we've come here. The takeaway deli section is always great. The guy is always friendly and super helpful and the fish/seafood is always delicious. If you eat in the restaurant... the service is hit or miss. The proteins are always good, but the sides are just kind of MEH/mediocre... as are the cocktails. For the price point I'd expect better sides/better food in general. read more

First place I always want to go when we hit the south shore. Fresh steamers and awesome fish! They've been here 75 years for a reason!

This is great place. Real busy and outstanding service. Prices are a bit high but clam chowder and rolls outstanding. Those two parts were 5 stars as was service. Had two fish sandwiches and two shrimp scampis. Have not experienced the scampi with fresh tomato's. Entrees less that 5 star. Service exceptional as always. Best seafood on south shore. Great outdoor experience. read more

Questionned why a side Caesar (w mixed greens, not romaine) and grilled scallops would cost $42.69. Waiter said that's what we are told to charge. Receipt said I had dinner w no second side. I wasn't offered for told. Called from outside and asked how much a scallop dinner was and was told $26. I explained situation, was told to come in. Woman at front desk said I had a dinner then had me go out to my car to get my phone to show picture of what I got then was told that I had full dinner w no second side. I said I wasn't offered that and she said sorry. Seriously... read more

We love the seaside ambiance and seafood offerings. A solid combination. Fried clams are excellent, crab cakes were favored by another in our party and the swordfish sandwich was met with an OK by another, who may have just been having a bad day. read more

Visiting relatives in the area and a favorite with the locals. Great selections and great food. Great service too. Very casual atmosphere.

Been going to Jake's for the last 26 years. While not inexpensive the seafood is of very high quality. Went with our son and his fiancé. Had mussels and calamari for shared appetizers. Scallops, lemon shrimp, salmon and tuna for dinner It was great, service as great as the food. Jake's is open seasonally April to November. The decor is nautical. read more

Love this place! Incredible location right on the water. Staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Fish was incredibly fresh and delicious. Onion rings were excellent, you can tell they're freshly made in house. read more

Best seafood restaurant on the South Shore in my opinion. Very family friendly, great service, great atmosphere and great food. What more can you ask for. Also, just about everything can be made gluten free. read more

The bartender Emily is super nice! The food was ok. We'll we good the seafood casserole. It doesn't fill you but it's just decent. I probably wouldn't order again. Legal's casserole was way better. But I'll be back. read more

I loved this place. Drinks and food were excellent. Didn't wait too long for a table. They have a lot of seating in this place. It is right on the water. read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon with family and friends for a good seafood lunch. The restaurant was right by the water so it provided some nice sight seeing on the drive there. Stepping inside the restaurant..it showed off a pretty casual setting with some nice marine decor. Once we were seated, people from our group started ordering hot tea as it seems that April can still be pretty chilly in the Boston area haha. Being from the Washington DC area, I wanted to try a dish that was authentic to the Boston area and I heard good things about the clambake. The service was good as within a short time all our food came out. The clambake looked like a good sized meal as it consisted of a steamed lobster, potatoes, clams, and corn on the cob. There was also some dipping water to wash off the sand and dirt from the clams. Everything was fresh and delicious and the only thing I think could improve the seafood would be to add some seasoning to it. I also got a bite of the lobster roll from a friend who had ordered it and it was delicious as well. This place was a great setting for a family meal and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good seafood. The place isn't overly pricey in general but my lobster meal was about $30. I was under the impression that lobster in Boston was generally cheaper than other parts of the country? read more

Jake's Seafood Restaurant - Clambake! - Seafood Near Me - Hull, Massachusetts

Great experience! We were originally going to go to the Parrot but the less than stellar reviews and limited menu made us consider other places along the water and glad we did and decided on Jake's. Our server Linda was great! We had a seat by the window inside, it was beautiful, they had the windows open so it was like you were outside but the screens kept the bugs off. We got the Cajun Swordfish tips and oysters for apps. The swordfish was amazing! I love the sauce on it, I can enjoy spice or not; hot doesn't bother me too much but I wouldn't consider these that spicy more of a 2 on a 1-5 spice scale. My date said he really enjoyed the oysters (I didn't try any so can't comment) We got bourbon swordfish with side Caesar salads and sweet potato fries; the salad was fresh and had quality anchovies on it (they were optional) our swordfish steaks were delish (but it tasted closer to a honey mustard than a bourbon to me) and our fries were great! For drinks we got a lemon drop martini and a bloody captain (my date didn't like all the additional garnishes in the bloody but loved the bloody and it packed a spicy punch!) and my lemon drop was delish as well! Great date spot, classy but casual. Would definitely recommend and would love to go back again! read more

Had a simple meal of chowder and a Greek salad with seared scallops and it was absolutely delicious. My father had the fried scallop plate and said the same -- added that the breading was super light and not greasy at all. Food was fresh, waitstaff was attentive, drinks were refreshing. Amazon view. Really the best seafood, simply prepared to let the freshness shine through. read more

This place has a great view and a congenial staff. My complaint is that an entree of baked sea scallops was served with the muscle still in tact which I find amazing! Also overcooked. read more

Great food and great view. Waitress was so nice and accommodating. Only complaint was the lobster bisque that didn't have one piece of lobster and tasted like tomato soup. Other than that the food was great. We shared a lobster, steamers, chowder, corn and mashed potato's. So good! And the key lime pie is to die for! read more

Good to atmosphere Good view Food was excellent service was superb and I also got a chance to meet the owner very gracious.

Scallops were very small. I can live with that but they were cooked to oblivion! Tough and $36. Mashed potatoes and salad were fine. Drinks fine....but the food is not acceptable for someplace that touts themselves as a local seafood place. Been there before and had the popcorn shrimp which were definitely something you could buy at your local grocery store! Companion liked their salmon dish both times. Service was friendly. I want to like them more but they really could do better. read more

Beautiful place, service was very good and friendly. The fried platter was disappointing though. Onion rings were really bland and fried clams were just ok. read more

Wanted fried seafood and because my husband has celiac headed to Jake's for their gluten free food. They have dedicated fryers. Ordered fried clams with bellies and a seafood plate (clams, scallops, shrimp and haddock). Both meals come with fries and coleslaw. Our orders were taken promptly and the food came out quickly and very hot. Clams were excellent and husband said the best seafood on his plate were clams. Other seafood was good. I'm not a fan of most coleslaw but theirs was very good-fresh with right amount of dressing. Jake's is one step above a seafood shack. Most tables have a view of the water, booths and tables. There is also a fish market at the entrance. read more

Loved this little gem! We waited maybe 5-10 minutes for an intimate table facing the beautiful water. The food was great, but the service was lacking a little bit. Our waiter was really busy, so he didn't follow up after our food to see what we needed for our meal. He also forgot our bar drinks. However, despite the few imperfections, we really enjoyed our meal and the ambience. read more

Awesome service. Great food. Phenomenal with gluten free options and allergy awareness.

Went for lunch, sat inside to hot. Nice airy room with screens open to the ocean. Jacqueline G was our server. She was fast and efficient. We got some Oysters first. Then I got a fish sandwich. Cooked perfect with a crunchy batter and a flacky fillet on brioche. Overall a great lunch! Thanks Jake! read more
