Went here for the first time with some of my friends from work. The clam chowder was my favorite. Good quality food at a great price on the lunch menu. Our server was very kind, attentive to the table, and knowledgeable on what to recommend since it was our first time. Just an overall great experience and atmosphere.

They have the best fried shrimp I know of. It is not greasy. The breading is not too thick. The new owners have done a great job keeping the quality of the product. They have added some variety to the menu. All of the wait staff have stayed and they are really attentive. Excellent accuracy. I appreciate the grilled fish menu. I recommend the Cajun seasoning. It is very flavorful.

For overall family review kids do not like sea food. It's not gourmet but very feasible sea food. Not to many places like this. Food is reasonably priced. All if not most plates are below 20$. Clam chowder and shrimp salad were delicious. Atmosphere is nice inside. Parking is now very bright compared to before. (Thank you).

I am really glad to have tried this place. I would have never known about it if my friend had suggested we try it out. They have quite a few options on their lunch menu and regular menu. The calamari definitely was the favorite, but I also enjoyed the fried zucchini. The Boston clam chowder was good, but I want to try their red chowder next time out of curiosity. Both the fried and grilled seafood were cooked and seasoned well.

Ok, so this was my first time here, I normally hate shrimp but the shrimp here, I gobbled up in less then 1 minute, the fish was super fresh and flavorful, salad was very good, service was very good and speed was okay. I would say this would be a nice place to go with your kids, I don’t know what’s on the kids menu but since I thought it was good, it should be for you. Loved the refills and free crackers with the clam chowder, only thing I think should improve, is the breading on the onion rings, and the fish filet, the fish breading was very thin and was not thick enough for the thickness of the filet. Overall, one of the best fish places inland of the ocean!
