What made me give this spot a 3 was the amount of fruit flys flying around inside. On the walls, Ketchup, bathrooms, etc.... If it wasn't for that, it's a place to visit. Hopefully, they can take care of that situation because I would like to come back

Scallops were undercooked. My clam strips gave me stomach pain later. My other guest was also unhappy. I was there in the past but yesterday August 14th at noon wasn't a good experience.

My wife and I enjoyed a great meal at the pub. My whole belly clam basket was huge and delicious. My wife enjoyed her fried scallop basket also. The portions were huge but since I can’t get fried whole bellies in PA they definitely were satisfying. The wait staff was excellent too. We will stop by again when we are in the area.

The New England clam chowder in a bread bowl is delicious and we also enjoyed the clam strips.

Food was decent, but lacked seasoning. Salting fried foods as soon as they come out of the fryer is cooking 101. An amateur knows that. The service was pretty bad. The waitress was flustered and overwhelmed by a moderately full section. She wasn't rude, but definitely not warm, friendly or attentive. The restaurant itself was hot af with no working air conditioner on an extremely humid day. Not a great experience, but not the worst either. Just meh.
