One of the best restaurants in the city. The line moves very quickly. Excellent service. The oysters are among the best I've tried, fresh, and the other dishes are a delight.

Holy delicious. Found this on a whim and stood outside for ~25/30 mins (high traffic hours - party of 2) but if was so so so worth it. The wine, food and flavor was superb. We split the tuna tartare and a burger for lunch with 8 oysters each and both agreed we would come back to Boston for that spot alone. The prices are higher but it is because the quality is outstanding. I gasped when the oyster drawer opened

Oysters were so fresh and tasty. Great variety. Lobsters were so good with the fries, but I heard you can't go wrong with the salad either. Clam chowder was a bit watery compared to the other ones I've had but the clams in the soup were so good. Waitresses were so nice and friendly.

Everything every other review has said. Clam chowder had a lot of meat but it was a little watery compared to others. Didn't love the johny cake.

A must go-to restaurant in Boston! Their food was fresh and delicious. Their waitresses were knowledgeable about their menu and made great recommendations. Their clam chowder had a thinner broth which is different than what I had before. It was very pleasant and tasty. Don’t waste your money on lobster rolls anywhere else! The lobster roll was amazing!!!! I cannot wait to return to Neptune when I visit Boston next time.

We always make a trip to Neptune when we visit Boston. It easily has the freshest and most delicious oysters in the Boston area. Staff are always super fun, and we love the cozy atmosphere. Really appreciated the staff picks on our oysters that day! Clam chowder here is always made to order, so a little thinner than most typical chowders but still packed with flavor and clams! Reminder that they don't take reservations here, so be sure to either show up early (prior to opening) to be towards the front of the line, or go during non-peak hours to avoid a long line. Either way, always worth the wait. Highly recommend the lobster roll and scallops as well! Honestly can't go wrong with anything here. 10/10

I don’t think it is worth the wait or the price. The lobster roll was OK. The clam chowder was better, but wasn’t great. The seafood was fishy and the soup had huge chunks of potatoes. The fries were the highlight of the meal. Our server was lovely, but the place is small and crowded. I live in the gulf south and am more accustomed to fresh seafood which likely contributed to my experience. The oysters looked great, but we have those frequently so I skipped it which may have been a mistake. Other patrons seemed to enjoy those.
We had to wait about an hour, but it was worth it in the end. The food was good, though a bit on the pricey side for what you get. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite meet expectations—the server wasn’t very friendly, which took away from the overall experience.

Plan to stand in line - it's with the wait! The restaurant is very small, with a great vibe and delicious food. They have many oyster options at a great price (~$3-4 each). Lobster rolls were very big, fried and salads with fresh delicious greens. High recommend planning for ~1hr to wait in line (more at peak) and 45"-1hr to eat.

The food is Amazing but I had a horrible time there today and I have been in this restaurant many times . For example 6 people arrive in a car got down , when in spoke to someone and waited by the door and they did not make a line and went in ahead of all the people waiting . Agmfemter that we had a GRUMPY OLDER LADY help the table , wouldn't answer any questions about the oyster , we had to ask someone else , waited for 2 glases of wine forever , when we wanted to order more oyster and we ask about one type that we had , she got annoyed and it was extremely rude , she said you have been here half an hour , of course we were eating . The other waiters were fine and nice but this older chubby lady was very angry and rude . BAD SERVICE

Know before you go! Apparently dogs are welcome in this small, very intimately spaced restaurant. We were seated literally 18" from the table next to us whose patrons had their medium-sized dog (NOT a service dog!) on the seat. They were feeding their dog food from the table - and at points throughout our dinner the dog did the "wet-dog shake". Particles of I don't know what were flying in the air. I am truly shocked the owner of this high-end restaurant allows this - Disgusting. Won't be going back. Totally disappointed.
