Mainely Seafood Cafe is a casual seafood restaurant located in a quiet strip mall area, reminiscent of small New England seafood shops. The restaurant is known for its exceptional whole belly fried clams, which are difficult to find in the area. The full belly Ipswich bivalves have a very light coating and are fried quickly to keep them tender, resulting in a "clamolishious" flavor. Customers can order the clams as a meal for $24 or as an appetizer for $22, both with a half-pound of clams. The place also offers other seafood dishes such as the Grouper Fingers Meal ($16), which includes three thick, flavorful filets of grouper fried with a thin batter that allows the fish's taste to shine through. The fried shrimp plate is another popular option, featuring a generous portion of lightly breaded, crisp fried large shrimp served with good cole slaw and some of the best French fries the restaurant offers. The fries are highly praised for their crispy exterior and soft, pillowy interior.
Mainely Seafood Cafe is a market and a cafe that provides fresh food in a very casual atmosphere. The staff, especially the servers, are friendly and attentive, offering great service. The restaurant gets busy during lunch hours, so visiting later might be a good idea. The food is served hot and fresh, making it a perfect place for a quick meal. The limited selection of beer and wine includes a very good Chardonnay. The key lime pie is more like a cheesecake with a thick, buttery crust, rather than a strong lime flavor. Customers often leave satisfied and eager to return, praising the restaurant for its excellent food and welcoming environment. Overall, Mainely Seafood Cafe offers a taste of New England-style cuisine in a friendly and relaxed setting.
