Worst lobster roll! Barely any lobster and it’s on a brioche roll - who wants that? Hit the crab for drinks and fun, but pass on the lobster roll!
Great clam chowder
And tasty fish and chips
Drinks were good but have had better
Great location
Barking Crab was an amazing experience on the Boston harbor! The weather couldn’t have been any better for a Wednesday afternoon in June. . Fantastic & prompt service from start to finish — everything was delightful. I ordered the 1/2 dozen oysters, freshly arrived from Duxbury, Massachusetts (about 100miles South of Boston). . . Delicious & hearty. This is a great spot for a lively environment & fresh dishes!
Tented outdoor seating with a bar atmosphere. Very fast service once you're seated.
Lobster roll is slightly better than average.
Fun atmosphere. Very little crab meat in the crab cakes. My husband ordered a crab roll which does have a lot of crab meat. It’s very close to the children’s museum.

Eating lobster among mice? This is the right place.
Reported by a theoretically reliable guide, the place would be just enough. It's a shame that for the modest sum of $150 for two you can eat with mice running around the room undisturbed.
Having informed the waiter and the room manager, they were not at all upset and told us that it was "normal". I suggested we do something - the response was "they're like rabbits". I can't imagine what's in the kitchen.
From vomiting.

A great place for company. New England Chowder is worth a try.
The Snow Crab was very tasty.

This place is great if you're looking for some kitschy charm, and a casual place to get your seafood fix in the seaport area. We visited during the Snowport market, so there was a line to get in. However, we were willing to be seated at one of the shared high-tops, so our wait was less than 10 minutes.
The fried clams were perfectly done. Not at all chewy. Both the naked lobster roll and the lobster mac and cheese were delicious. Best ever? No. But we had a great lunch and a fun atmosphere while making the tourist rounds of Boston.

Food was very fresh, cooked perfectly.
Disposible Plastic "silverware" plates and cups was very strange when spending 250.00 for a meal.
Like I said, lobster was delicious, crab was so good, drinks were cold, so the food and drink spot on!
Service missed their mark, could have been a rough day.
