Fred's Shanty Restaurant is a casual dining spot suitable for families, offering a variety of lunch options and a nice view of the marina. The staff is friendly and the food is freshly cooked to order. It is known for its seafood, including lobster, scallops, haddock, and chicken tenders, which are often praised for their generous portions and tasty flavors. Outside dining on the dockside provides a lovely view of the marina, making it a popular choice despite usually having a line. Many customers enjoy the quick bites like fried whole belly clams and hot dogs, as well as the delicious pizza that exceeds expectations. The restaurant also offers ice cream next door, which is highly recommended, especially with the wide variety of colorful ice cream scoopers available. Visitors appreciate the friendly owner and the beautiful view of the dock while watching boats. The bread for the lobster roll can be soggy, but the lobster filling is often described as exploding with lobster. Overall, Fred's Shanty is a well-liked seafood spot, considered better than some nearby places, and recommended for both in and out-of-season visitors. Open year-round, it continues to be a go-to place for a seaside meal.
