Ideally, Schermerhorn's has reopened after renovations that have taken a long time. However, it is a very good place to buy fish, clams, lobster, shrimp, etc. Products have always been fresh. I would recommend Schermerhorn's. read more

Not great but not bad. Pretty much all you can say. Good service and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely be back

Rustic with delicious food. Unfortunately, it's closed right now due to renovations. I cannot wait for it to reopen. I love seafood and I'm a true patriot of Shermerhorns seafood. I cannot wait to get into their whole belly, clams, lobster, and overall everything. read more

My family and I came up a few months ago for a wedding. While in the area, we try to soak up as much of everything as we can. Good food is usually #1 on our list. We can never agree on what to eat but after hearing what they offered we easily decided on Schermerhorn's. I'm not a big fan of ordering at a counter to eat but quickly got past that. We all ordered lobster in some form. (and there were several!) We started with clam chowder and crab cakes. Both were spectacular. Our daughter had the lobster rolls and said they were buttery, juicy and delicious. The rest of the family enjoyed huge steamed lobsters with all the fixings. Everything was authentic, fresh and incredibly flavorful. Nothing stuffy at all -just very warm and inviting. Really good food done well. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it for a true taste of New England. read more

This is me and my family's first time here. The food was absolutely delicious. The employees are really helpful if needed when selecting your lunch or dinner. They also have lunch specials during the week and many specials daily. The place is really huge. One side is where you purchase seafood and etc to take home to cook and the other side is the restaurant. I took many photos for you to view for both sides. You have to pay for your food selections first at the counter. Than the waitress bring you your meal. We started off with drinks and I wanted a crab cake and it was really meaty and good. The crab cake was seasoned well and so was the small cup of clam chowder which my husband ordered. We shared both. I had pink lemonade, my husband had raspberry tea, and our son had coke. For our entrees, I ordered fish and shrimp with fries, my son chicken parmigiana and my husband had grilled shrimp salad. We really enjoyed our lunch. I had a lot and barely touched it. I have almost an entire meal for later on. My husband wasn't feeling well, so he has his salad left for later. Our son ate the majority of his entree and also ordered a strawberry shake to go. We will definitely visit again and dine here. read more

Schermerhorn's is a local staple for seafood in this area. this is a bit obvious when you walk in and see some of the dated booths and general 70-s feeling ambience, but the service and the food did not disappoint. There was an interesting special on fish and chips where if you bought two, you got a free one to take home, which was perfect as we did not have any leftovers of our own meals. The fries were tasty, the breading on the fish was delicious and everything was served quickly even with other people in the restaurant ordering. One benefit of this restaurant, is that they have long tables, so, if you are coming with a group or a large family, seating is very comfortable, which you don't see a lot of . Our stop here was purposeful. We were quite hungry after attending the lonnng St. Patrick's Day parade in freezing weather, and this was a "why not?" venture. I would say that with the cost of the food here, and all of the different specials that are available, I would absolutely recommend Schermerhorn's to someone looking for a seafood dinner. read more

Given the reviews you either love it or hate it, and I have to say that I'm a fan and I'm definitely coming back the next time I'm in town. Their lobster special is out of this world. I remember being apprehensive about it, 2 lobsters for $22?? Get out of town!, but to my surprise they were perfect. Everything we had was delicious and going at lunchtime is where you'll find to get your money's worth. I noticed a lot of people who were obviously on their lunch breaks from work gathering in large groups. It says a lot if you're willing to eat messy seafood while in your work attire; it has to be good. Service was ok, and the place is not fancy by means but you'll good food here. read more

We came across this place coming home from Vermont. with GPS, it's not difficult at all to get to or get back on the highway. we thoroughly enjoyed our food. We got a seafood combo platter! The waitresses were friendly and helpful. It was a little confusing, trying to figure out where to order from... there are signs though. Could use a little bit of a cleanup But we will be back! read more

Great lazy lobster hot sandwich. Fisherman platter can be shared easily. Shrimp corn chowder is the best I've ever tasted.

Recommended by a local and did not disappoint! Had seafood platter. Cole slaw compliments the fish perfectly

Always very pleased with the portions, quality of the food, service and the value. We don't live really close, but we make an effort to get here as often as possible. Reminds us of places that are closer to the shore but give you good value for seafood. We will continue to patronize this well-established local gem. read more

Very fresh seafood no frills just good food. The prices are fair and you get a lot of food for your money. You can't beat their lobster prices anywhere read more

My grandfather and I have been trying fish n' chips at every place we know that serves it in this area, and this was by far the most disappointing. I had high hopes, even after reading some troubling reviews, but I should've listened. The first bite I took, I knew we messed up by coming here. At first I thought I had gotten just the batter at the end of the filet, but then realized that this was just how it is. A ton of batter, and not the good crispy kind, the kind that's all mushy and gross inside. The piece of fish in the middle of this mess was so thin and tasteless that I wasn't sure it was even there at first. All of this in a basket with a small handful of fries (frozen of course) and a puddle of grease at the bottom. Even the draught beer (BBC Steel Rail) I ordered was a let down as it was just over room temp. Maybe there's one or two dishes that people know are good here and they stick to those, but if you can't make a fish n' chips right and you're a seafood place, then you've got problems. read more

Ordered a lazy lobster roll. For $30 I expected something a little more than just 3 slices between a slice of bread. Definitely not enough food for the price. Sure it tastes good but as someone from the north I do not recommend this place. read more

The restaurant is dark and dingy. The soda tastes like generic. The staff are not friendly and resent being asked questions about menu items. The food is the most disastrous aspect. It has little flavor and is poor quality with terrible execution. The breading on the shrimp falls off whenever you try to pick it up. It is a disgrace to New England seafood. You would be better off getting seafood from McDonald's than from here. read more

Alright. I've been very forgiving of Schermerhorn's, but long after having given it a four star rating and then a two, I'm taking it all the way down. I ordered a tuna melt recently. It was green and reeked of fish water. It was like they used that green duck pond water from the petting zoo as an ingredient. I took one bite, spat it out and threw it away immediately. I complained to the email at their contact list, who didn't respond. At least respond to a customer who tells you you made a rotten stinking tuna sandwich. The gall to not at least apologize is blowing my mind. I spent ten bucks on something I wouldn't serve as a prank. At LEAST respond when I tell you about it. read more

Getting ready to close. Been awful for years. Go to The Big Y for fish and chips. Don't even bother with the entrees or pizza.

It was Friday and I was yearning for some seafood. Schermerhorns was my choice for lunch. I had never been here in all my years in the area. I was impressed with the buy 2 get one free deals advertised. Also offered was delivery of lottery, cigarettes and food at no cost. Great deal during COVID. I myself ordered fried hole belly clams with cole slaw and fries and coconut shrimp. The fries were seasoned and very good. The clams were small, sweet and cooked perfectly. A really nice coleslaw came with it and tartar sauce. The coconut shrimp was also really good. I was impressed with Schermerhorns and will definitely return. read more

We enjoy the food... they have by far the best onion rings we've ever eaten. My only criticism is that I like to order by phone so it will be ready when I arrive, however, no one ever answers the phone. The last time we let it ring for 15 minutes, and when I arrived there was only 1 person in line ordering and no reason the phone was not answered. As I waited for my order, the phone rang several times and the gal working the counter made no attempt to answer. So, don't bother calling in your order... no one will answer the phone. read more

Hey! Take these reviews with a grain of salt. You're not coming here for the ambiance. You're coming here to get a good solid lobster and leave full. Not the tacky decor or the service. Line up when you enter the door to place your order, take a number, bring your drink from the counter to your table, eat a lobster. That's it. And that's awesome! I cannot account for the rest of the menu. Come here for the steamed clams and the lobster. It was quickly prepared, simply served, and yummy. I can see how some of the things people have negatively reviewed about could've gone wrong- just don't get those things! We had a fun time! Lobster is always an experience on its own. I thought the ambiance was an experience also. I loved that there were people here from all walks of life- big families, couples on dates, elderly couples. Clearly a lot of different types of people like to come here. I love that read more

Disappointing dinner with family. The place is basically self service (order at counter, get your own soda), and the setting is very casual, very old and very very dark. Prices were higher than expected (given the crude atmosphere). Lobster roll for $30 was quite small. Two family members (of four) had gastric events once home. read more

Ok so I've been here 3 times now. The 1st time was of my own accord... not impressed. The next two times only occurred because my company bought food from this place...definitely going to try to recommend a different place for future company events. Food: So a little leeway has to be given since we did order this food to go. That being said we are less than 5 min away so it shouldn't deteriorate too quickly. 1st off why don't places that sell fried food poke holes in the damn containers!?!? Seriously guys it seems pretty common sense that the condensation is going to saturate your fried foods making it soggy. Anywho I learned my lesson from the 1st time and got the blackened scallops which came with french fries and a side of coleslaw. The scallops were mostly cooked but definitely the worst I've ever had. Pretty bland taste and varied greatly in size so some more cooked than others. The fries were the highlight of this sad meal so congrats on frying frozen fries... really knocked it out of the park. I also got stuffed mushrooms which were just very meh. Again partially due to the plastic container they were transported in. The coleslaw was very watery and bland...not impressive. The last thing I got was a piece of blueberry swirl cheesecake. Definitely the saddest cheesecake I've ever seen. The crust was completely gummy as if they stored it in a 1/4" water bath until you ordered a piece. The cake itself was pretty awful, I took a tentative bite just so I could describe it in the review because I love you guys. It tasted old and the blueberry swirl was really just random gelatinous pieces of blue stuff that was mostly on top of the cake. On to my coworkers meals that I tried for the sake of this review. Crabcakes: Pretty decent considering im 90% sure these were frozen as well. My only complaint is these were about 70% breading. Buffalo shrimp: The fried shrimp were decent but no buffalo sauce to be found. Swordfish with rice pilaf: The fish was dry and very one note. Once you got through your 5 min bite the only taste that remained was pepper. The rice was pretty good. Nice and fluffy with a good flavor. Fish and chips: I thought the fish was decent, the breading lacked flavor and the tartar sauce had a sweet taste to it that was hard to place. Fried calamari: My coworker stated it "tastes like fried rubberbands". Condiments: Would it kill you to include some damn tartar sauce and lemon wedges? Thankfully we're all cousins of Macgyver so we had our own but a serious fail. Overall: If you like rice pilaf and frozen french fries this place may not disappoint, but then again you could just go to the freezer section or make a simple rice. If you do like to gamble definitely don't get it to go and above all else don't order the cheesecake! read more

Was hesitant on coming here because of the mixed reviews but was really in the mood for lobster. Women at register was lovely.

Sent an email to business with my concerns before I wrote this review but never heard back from the bsuiness. I got the whole belly clam dinner on April 15th. The clams were disgusting. There the largest fried clams I have every seen. In addition halve of the order had to be thrown out. It was just the large bellies that were not even fried. And that was for the market price of $38.99. read more

Just awful! I ordered Bisque and a lobster roll. The bisque tasted like it came out of a can. Very processed. When I sent it back I heard the waitress say to the cooks, "Another bisque came back". When the lobster roll came out, it was so full of mayo with hardly recognizable lobster pieces. The images on their website are nothing like reality. read more
