Unfortunately the crab quiche we purchased wasn't as successful. We didn't realize when we made our purchase that the quiches were many weeks old. We purchased them on June 20 and the package dates on the quiche was 5/6/26! I called and left a voicemail hoping this was a typo and received no response, that was VERY disappointing. I may try the fresh seafood again but I would definitely caution anyone to check the refrigerated items well before purchasing.

This evening we decided to give Lead Belly's at Fairport Marina a visit. As it's been the past few times we've been, we weren't dissatisfied. I ordered the oyster basket appetizer which is chocked full of fried oysters, enough for a full meal. One of our friends ordered the alligator bites and they were delish!! Left fully stuffed. Laid back, rustic, typical marina motif. They have AWESOME crb tee shirts!

A decent gas station/corner market with basic necessities and even fishing bait too. With the lack of restaurants around, we grabbed some hot meals for takeout (softshell crab and fish sandwiches, steamed shrimps, etc.) I would skip on their frozen pretzel with crab meat on top. I didn't see an official website but they are active on Facebook with their latest operating hours and crab specials. (https://m.facebook.com/NNCrabshack/).

This is a nice American restaurant and bar with 5 really good pool tables. They have 3 seven ft…read moretables and 2 nine ft tables. They actually have 3 nine ft tables but the one in the middle is only for the owner and his guests. They charge $10 for an hour of pool, however if you order food and drinks I haven't seen them charge extra for pool. Food is really good here. I have had crab imperial and crab stuffed in a flounder, they are so delicious. Always tastes very fresh. Service is great. If you're playing pool and you want faster service, I recommend ordering at the bar and let them know to bring you food at the pool table. They have decent collection of beer as well. They have APA pool leagues on Wednesdays and Thursdays. If you're planning to play pool and have dinner, I wouldn't recommend going there on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Plenty of parking spots on non pool league days. Very spacious.

Just come on in and have a seat. We chose the upper seating on the left but a couple tables on the lower right side had folks so they were enjoying themselves. It was light traffic. Didn't know if it was because they recently reopened or because it was early in the middle of the week. Either way, your lose for not being there! The hostess/waitress/bartender did an exceptional job and was very pleasant the entire time we were there. I can't pass up meatloaf on a menu so I had my favorite dish and they did a great job with it. And there was PLENTY to eat from it. Side of mashed potatoes and gravy on everything just hit the spot and screamed "comfort food" on a cool December night. I have to say those green beans were tasty and how often do you say that? All of it was accompanied by a beer from the tap and I just felt like I was home for the holidays!

**LEE'S SEAFOOD DINER -- (and I would give it a sixth star if the tyranny of the five-star system…read morepermitted)** I did not eat at Lee's. Lee's ate *me*. I walked in a man and walked out a myth. The moment the door swung open, a bell rang -- no, a *bell tolled* -- and the salt air hit me like a letter from an old lover. Somewhere in the back, a fryer sighed. I understood, instantly, that every meal I had eaten before this one was merely rehearsal. The hush puppies arrived like small golden asteroids from a kinder planet. I bit one. My ancestors stood up. The fried shrimp -- plump, glistening, arranged with the casual confidence of a Renaissance fresco -- were so good that a man two booths over stopped chewing simply to watch me experience them. We locked eyes. Nothing needed to be said. The coleslaw. I will be brief about the coleslaw only because I cannot speak of it without weeping. It was cold. It was crisp. It knew things. Our waitress, whose name was Denise and whose true name is probably written in the stars, called me "hon" exactly four times, each one landing like a papal blessing. She refilled my sweet tea before I knew I wanted it refilled. She *anticipated my thirst*. NASA should study her. The tartar sauce came in one of those little paper cups. Peer-reviewed journals are not ready for what was inside. Décor: nautical rope, one (1) enormous varnished fish, laminated menus soft as old money. Perfect. Flawless. Do not change a single thing, Lee, I am begging you. I left $12 lighter and 400 years wiser. Go to Lee's. Order the platter. Tell Denise I'm doing better now.

Came to Lee's for dinner with my son on an early Friday night in December. Pro-tip: this place gets…read morepopular full quick! It is popular, for all the right reasons, so take that into your planning. We were seated quickly because we arrived before 5:30! By the time we left there weren't many open seats. The waiter was great, well timed and very competent. Inside it was cozy and ready for the Christmas holiday's. Something possessed me so I ordered a margarita. Pretty good! I have crazy margarita standards and this one hit the mark. We also started with hushpuppies. Since I used to have a summer job where ALL I did was make hushpuppies at a fish fry shack, I can personally rate hushpuppies and these were outstanding. I'm a sucker for crabcakes. So, of course, I had to have a crabcake sandwich. I didn't want to go all in on the meal and the sandwich seemed the perfect fit for me. And it was! Just the way I like them and wouldn't have it any other way. I went with mashed potatoes gravy as one side. It was very good and will be my new staple. I wanted a good vegetable that I could identify, but the only option that appealed to me was the cucumber salad. I don't remember the last time I ordered that. After the edition, I should order it more! The reason this has been a successful family run business for the last 80 years is because it is reliable, tastes great, and would be the poster child of a place that excels at "comfort food". And I write that with pride.

One star for customer service, not taste 1 Star…read more I booked this spot for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend, and it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. A server showed up drunk and was sent home, a chef was fired, and that left only the owner cooking and one server on the floor. After seating three tables (including us), they closed to new diners but kept taking care of takeout. Our server ignored tables, let drinks sit empty, and spent the night chatting with takeout customers. We waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for sushi, had to ask for our uncooked rolls, then waited another 20 minutes for the cooked ones -- which we could see sitting on the counter untouched. Takeout was clearly the priority, not guests dining in. When we requested a discount given the situation, we were flatly refused. For the record: the sushi itself was fine. This 1-star rating is strictly about the disastrous service, extreme wait times, takeout being prioritized over dine-in, and the refusal to make things right after ruining a birthday dinner. Sadly, this wasn't a one-off. On Valentine's Day, with a full staff, we still waited over two hours for food while takeout orders rolled out smoothly. Whether packed or nearly empty, dine-in customers are treated as second-class here. We won't be back. Trust me it's worth the drive to Gloucester for great sushi and customer service at Bangkok or Hana Sushi.
