Hmmm this is NOT the same Woods I remember from my childhood. My parents are what I call "food snobs" and every once in a while we would drive an hour each way just to get seafood from here, but it was really good and left an impression on me. Recently my husband and I came in for lunch during the week. We ordered the seafood "platter" to share but was definitely more of a plate than platter. It tasted OK (I've had both better & worse) but the portion size felt small in relation to the price and the fries tasted like they came from stale potatoes. However, what I did like was it was served with cocktail & tartar sauce and they gave you plenty of both! Overall, the seafood wasn't bad by any means but I think I was expecting something more/different/better. It probably doesn't help that we had a seafood platter elsewhere earlier in the week that was phenomenal (and less expensive!) so it was hard not to compare. We probably won't be back but I would still recommend checking this place out and deciding for yourself ;) read more

While in Plymouth Massachusetts in May 2025, Tony, Noel Calliope & myself stopped at Woody Seside Restaurant on the Wharf in Plymouth Massachusetts. Tony and I shared a Seafood Platter & Noel had the Lobster Dinner. Tony also got a bowl of New Egland Clam Chowder. The baby had some Haddock & Fries! It was a good meal. We also got a half dozen of the fresh claws but they were to much of a salt water taste... I would eat here again! Recommend!! read more

Really enjoyed our meal here! We stopped in for lunch after checking out the historic spots around Plymouth and were so glad we did. Service was friendly and efficient, and the prices for what you're getting are honestly incredible. I wish we lived in New England just so we could eat lobster like this all the time! We ordered the 2 lobster dinner, a bowl of chowder, a bowl of lobster bisque, and a dozen steamed clams - paid about $70 total. So worth it. Easily one of our favorite lunches on our trip through New England. If you are forced to choose between the chowder and bisque I'm voting chowder all day. The vibe inside feels like you've walked into a local fisherman's hangout like the seafood was just caught that morning and brought straight into the kitchen. It's nautical without being kitschy, with maps on all the tables and a cozy, unfussy atmosphere. A solid, authentic New England seafood spot. read more

Wood's is the best! This week alone, we've picked up 5 pounds of steamers on Monday night and we grabbed a few points of shrimp and scallops on Thursday. The quality is outstanding; the seafood pretty much comes off the boat and into the fish market here. If you love good seafood, this is the place to shop! read more

Woods seafood is a small restaurant attached to a fish market. Everything was fresh that day. Being from California we've never had a true "Lobsta roll" so we took the opportunity to get one here for $26. In Boston they wanted $40 for the samething. The bun was fresh and the meet was fresh and hanging over the sides. The fries were perfectly cooked as I like them crunchy. This place was recommended to us by a local who works at the Mayflower exhibit. This is NOT a fancy place but if you're looking for something fresh, this is your place. read more

He wanted raw Littlenecks. Honestly we went to cabbyshack first but the prices were u real- $15 for 6 Littlenecks and $9 for chowder. So we wandered over to Woods. This is a fish market/ restaurant. No frills- and I mean zero frills. But the prices were great and the food was good. Order at the window and wait for your number. For $41 we got a beer, a soda, 12 Littlenecks, an order of fried fish and an order of onion rings. We shared the fish and couldn't finish half the onion rings (home made). Fish had a nice coating and was cooked perfectly. Nice views of the harbor from inside. read more

Off season visit. No lines and quick service at the register. Lobster roll with lemon and some butter served on fresh roll with generous portions, light on the lettuce. Chowder was light and not overly creamy read more

Located on the waterfront. Order first then have a seat. They'll call your number when your order is up. It is a no nonsense, clean place to grab some seafood. We opted for the fried scallops and cold lobster roll. Both were great. The scallops and lobster were tender and of great portions. A great spot to grab food near the whale watching and deep sea fishing tours. read more

Woods Seafood is a fish market/restaurant located on the water in Plymouth. The only parking I could find was metered wharf parking next to the restaurant. Inside its counter service and I ordered a bowl of lobster bisque ($5.50) and the baked scallops with fries and slaw for ($21). The food was ready in about 15 minutes. The lobster bisque was served in a large bowl and was very good tasting and at that price point a steal! I enjoyed it. The baked scallops covered by Parmesan were equally good tasting and also were a generous portion. The slaw and fries were good too. It was a filling meal. The people who work here are friendly. I would be happy to return for a casual seafood meal. read more

An oldie but goodie right on the pier you can sit inside or outside the seafood is always fresh and it's my go to seafood in the summer

Buyers beware at the seafood counter. The older gentleman took my money to bring up what I was purchasing to take out to go home, not prepared food raw fish, and decided to take my change with the bills and stick it in his chip jar and not give me back my change.. I tried to make light of it and say oh geez tipped yourself very generously didn't you and he got very belligerently rude with us I'm a local I've been going there for 3540 years. I will not be returning to your establishment and I will let the whole town know about it thank you. Have a nice day Not worthy of the one star ..... i've erased all previous positive reviews because of this incident also went and got lunch on the restaurant side place. Our orders have to pick it up ourselves. They expect Tips the place is supposed to come with lemon wedges coleslaw tartar sauce, cocktail sauce we had to ask for every single individual order, and the girl would come out one by one with it horrible horrible, horrible service and experience and I used to always visiting people to go there never again!!!! I thought would be much better off to purchase all my seafood now from a grocery store and tip them, which is unexpected to them and they wouldn't take my money from me Just remember, Tips are optional !!!! It's not about the amount of money it's the principle of it and how he did it was wrong on many different levels and as an elderly gentleman should know better and after I said something on how he tipped himself well when I was leaving, he decided to get very upset, rude agitated, and tried digging out the money to give it back to me, and I did not even want to keep it. It needs it more than I do Like I said it's the principle of it and that's stealing. From your customers.!!!! read more

Went there on July 17th with my daughter & my mom. The place was packed. The ordering line was long, but it wasn't even ten minutes, and we were ordering our food. The wait for a table wasn't long at all, and we soon had our food. The cold lobster roll was very well portioned. The mussels were extremely well portioned. The whole belly fried clam plate was excellent. We went into the fish market to take things home, and we were not disappointed at all! Our family has been coming to Woods for decades. The restaurant has a very nice view of Plymouth Harbor where charter fishing boats, and ferries dock. It's everything you'd expect from a casual dockside restaurant! And, it is wheelchair accessible! read more

Cute clam shack. On the waterfront. Order at the counter then find a table. It's a small place so finding a table can be challenging, especially if you have more than 4 people. While sardines aren't on the menu you may feel like one. Got the fried whole clams and a lobster roll (Maine style). Both very solid. Would go back read more

Hit up Joes on our first time visit to Plymouth! My friend was our local tour guide and wanted to bring us to one of her fave spots while we were there. It was very casual vibe, with a walk up counter for ordering. They call your number and you enjoy your goods with a view of the water! The service was very friendly and food came out fast. The traffic was consistent, so must be a popular stop. We opted for the fried scallops plate and fish n chips. Both were tasty and hefty in portions. The scallop platter was market price and the fish n chips was very reasonable at $12 as of 10/23. It was tasty and hit the mark! The space is intimate, so not a great place for large groups, but we were able to get 5 in comfortably and easy. They also have a large counter where you can buy fresh fish, Bob who was behind the counter was great. Gave us lots of fun info on the differences and info on seafood. Definitely a nice spot to grab a bite and enjoy some seafood. Side note: They offer paid street parking all alone the downtown. read more

Food and service were horrible. They ran out of items and food was cold. I watch them mess up every order that night.

Best seafood restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life. Period. Everything is super fresh and the fishing boats are coming in a few yards away terrific experience all around! read more

Great location if you're looking to go on a wall before or after dinner. Clam chower: very good if you like a thick chowder, but I'm my sure there were many clams in mine? Lobster roll: this was a cold one, and it was pretty good. I like that it was on the smaller side because it meant I could try a few more things. Seafood platter: fish, scallops, clams, and shrimp. Would've been better if it was hotter, same with the fries. Waterfront seafood shack vibes, with nice people. You order & seat yourself. read more

Visited this establishment after exploring Plimoth Plantation and it was highly recommended by my daughter's teacher as he visits this area every year. We were able to order fairly quickly at the front counter. We ordered: - Lobster roll comes with fries - very fresh and not over sauced like some places. You can taste the sweetness of the lobster. Fries were crisp and seasoned well. - Crab cakes (comes with 2) - one of of the best crab cakes we have had. My daughter is usually very picky with crab cakes and she ate it all. We normally get crab cakes in Monterey, CA and it just doesn't compare. - Clam Chowder - really tasty, but not the best I have had. - Calamari- perfectly battered and tasted great - Onion Rings - love their onion rings. Not overly battered. Large and crispy, but not too oily. The food took a while to come out, but it makes sense since the place was packed. Hard part was to find seating. We came in a big group and had to sit separately. We will definitely back! read more

We stepped off the Captain John Boat whale watch (highly recommend it) and stepped right into Wood's. Very informal. Order, pay, and have a seat. We got Fisherman"s Platters and were presented with serious mounds of fried haddock, shrimp, scallops, and clams, with French fries and coleslaw slaw. Truly decadent. Clam chowder and lobster bisque were pretty good but the lightly breaded and fried seafood were the real treat. Relax and enjoy. read more

I was looking for a lunch spot with affordable seafood while visiting Plymouth, MA. Haven taken a cruise earlier in the day, Deckhand Dennis recommended Woods, and said that's where he eats, so we gave it a try. On the waterfront in Plymouth, Woods is near all of the shopping and water attractions, with plenty of parking. Service was a walk-up counter to place your order. There were several specials - all looking good. It was so hard to choose.... I didn't. You can tell by the picture I decided to try them all, twin whole lobsters, crab cakes, fish & chips, corn on the cob, and more. At the end of the session there was nothing left, everything was delicious and I took some time when I was done to let the sweating and heart rate lower. When it did, I stumbled across the street to finish with some lemon gelato Basically, if you are looking for a casual meal of fresh from the boat seafood at a reasonable price, you found it at Woods. read more

The things I liked about Wood's: You order, and then find a table. It makes things go along faster, we got our food pretty quick. They have people there to help if you need it; one nice Support staff pushed two tables together for us. And I saw them cleaning up people's tables. The views of the harbor are beautiful, even though I didn't see any outside seating. Things I did not like about Wood's: Mostly the food. I had a lobster roll, which was fine. I did have a lot of lobster, but it lacked flavor and it was not served with a lemon. I had to steal lemon off of a friend's plate who got a fish sandwich. (The lemon still had the sticker on it. I mean, come on, take off the sticker before you chop up your lemons to serve) The fries there are the kind I hate - tasteless without any crunchy bits. The fish sandwich was also sort of bland. I also tasted the baked haddock, which was really good. For me all of the carbs and calories were not worth it because the food didn't taste great. It's definitely not bad, and it's great for families, but definitely not four stars. read more

We came here yesterday during our drive back from the Cape. The location of this seafood restaurant is perfect and right on the water. There is ample parking around the restaurant even for quick 15 minute pick ups! We came here to get take out. We ordered the whole belly clams and a plate of onion rings. We actually ended up eating everything while sitting on the water at one of the restaurant's benches outside. The benches were super clean and plentiful. It was really windy outside so that's probably why :) The restaurant inside was packed and there was only one stall for women and men's bathrooms each. I recommend getting take out here to avoid lines and wait times. But, it definitely looked much more enjoyable eating inside. The whole belly clams were delicious but less in quantity unfortunately. We only got about 10 clams on our plate and the cost was market price. We paid $25 which is pricey for only 10 clams!! I looked back at other customers Yelp pictures of clams and it looked like they got more clams. Maybe there was a clam shortage? The servers were really friendly though and the food came out quick. If I came back here I would order something else that gives more quantity like shrimp or fish! Not sure I would come back here though because of the cost and less quantity of seafood :( read more

So we used to be regulars here. During Covid they jacked dropped the portion sizes and charged the same. So we stopped going. After 5 years we thought we'd give it another try. After this we are done. My wife and I ALWAYS get a seafood platter to share. We got one this time and it's not enough to feed either one of us. I had to order another platter. It had already cost me $50 and the additional platter was $26. We will not be back again. Very disappointed. I will add one positive, the staff are very friendly. read more

You MUST pay to park to eat here. $2/hr. This is a restaurant where you place your order, then they call your number for you to pick up your food. We started with the clam chowder which was ok. We also had the onion rings, they are good, but hard to keep the breading, which separates easily. My wife had her first lobster roll. Cold lobster, pretty flavorless, with hot butter. I had the fried shrimp, which were excellent. Good tartar. Soggy fries. The coleslaw is awful. Portions are good. The view is excellent. I would not come back for the food. read more
