Legal Sea Foods - Park Square

Inedible. Why are there so many of these in Boston? We were visiting from out of town and made the miatake to try it. One of the worst meals we've ever had. No one was happy.

Good traditional lobster roll.

Quite possibly the worst Legal Sea Food experience I've ever had and by far the worst food we had all vacation week in Boston!

We set dinner reservations for our sons 10th birthday meal and it was downhill from there. Even after including that and letting the server know they never did ANYTHING for his birthday! Horrible horrible service!

But I digress, reservations - table wasn't ready for 20 minutes. Then sat for 15 before the waitress asked if we wanted water. Duh! Then placed our entire order of which our drinks came after food. Sis I mention the restaurant was half full!?

Kids menu was priced right, but the food wasn't good. Butter noodles for one was cold, red sauce pasta for another had bits of tomatoes, but not sauce! The fish fingers were the best, but basically over fried.

Adult meals $24 for the smallest crab cake ever served with a salad that was awful! Lobster bisque was lacking lobster, just bisque and had more grease on top than soup. 🤢

To add insult to injury as we left, we used the bathroom....nothing to dry your hands. And waited to talk to staff, who was too busy taking a break or folding silverware.

Something is clearly gone awry at Legal Sea Food! Avoid this restaurant at all costs!

Great place to eat. The food was pretty good, but nothing incredible. The service was great! Clam chowder was amazing.

Food was tasty but super salty. It’s a pretty restaurant but at 2pm the tables around us had not been cleared.

Considering I’ve been here about 7 times in the last ten days during the World Cup madness - it’s about time I left a review. This is my favorite legal location, easy to access off the Green lines Arlington station and always less packed than the Downtown Crossing location just down the street. Highly recommended - always delicious.

Joseph was such an amazing waiter. Made us feel at home and welcome. Food and drinks were amazing as well.

Excited to have this local chain right across the hotel. Fam of 4 came in soaking wet after getting caught in a bad rainstorm, but they were great & seated us right away (with extra towels to dry off).

Their kids meal is one of the hugest portions I've seen, a total steal at $10, and so wholesome too (big servings of fruit, veggie, sides & delicious entrees). Popcorn shrimp was a hit as we all stole pieces of my kids dinner.

We also shared a cup of their yummy clam chowder, paired well with the complimentary butter & bread. I LOVED my melt-in-yo-mouf warm lobster roll and enjoyed the crunchiness of their coleslaw. They also let me swap fries with a side salad, but that itself was big enough for itself. Very crispy lettuce, but was not a fan of their store Cesar dressing.

Bonus points for giving top notch Crayola branded crayons for the kids coloring.

Great place for seafood. Loved the clam chowder and the ciopino
A collegue had the fisherman's platter but that was more of a disappointment.

A solid and enjoyable dinner experience. Nothing overly fancy or groundbreaking, but everything was well prepared and satisfying. The seafood platter was the highlight, offering a great selection of fried seafood cooked with care. Service was friendly and attentive, while the atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming. This is the kind of reliable restaurant you can happily return to more than once, knowing you'll receive good food and a pleasant dining experience

Just NOT like the old days. Was amazed how empty restaurant was for lunchtime and the salad portions have gotten extremely smaller. Never try to relive the past

The clam chowder was delicious! Hubby got fish and chips—no seasoning. I got salt and vinegar crusted cod—not bad, probably wouldn’t order again. Took a long time for server to do things, bring food, bring bill, fill up drink. Atmosphere was nice. A little dark, but nice decor.

While touring Boston for the first time I had lunch here. My friend told me to order the lobster roll lunch. It was one of the best choices I made that whole trip! It came with clam chowder which was amazing and the French fries and coleslaw were good companions to this incredible meal. The restaurant itself was very nicely maintained, and so I look forward to coming back the next time I'm in town!
