TESTIMONIALS
"Great place! Always end up here after driving by a competitor that always has a big line and have never been disappointed. Best tartar sauce I have ever tasted and the clams are light and terrific too, never too greasy like other places. Fast, friendly service too, very clean inside and nice tables w umbrellas outside."
Bill F
"Stopped here after taking in some of the great trails around the area. We got the lobster roll and grilled halibut and everything was really, really good. Like, hand cut fries with the perfect amount of salt, colorful and delicious coleslaw, and homemade tartar sauce with pickles that fell from heaven. 10/10 would recommend if you’re in the market for quick and delicious."
Lindsay Johnstone
"Fabulous tender sweet perfectly fried clams, some of the best chowder I've ever had. This place is a little gold mine, and none of the crazy lines that Woodman's of Essex has. Glad we found it, the owner Ken was super nice and came and checked to make sure we were enjoying our meal, lovely, cheerful staff and wonderful food -- go here, you will not be disappointed."
