About Decklyn's

Decklyn's, a waterfront restaurant, offers an amazing service and atmosphere. The menu features a variety of delectable dishes, including light and affordable clams, as well as popular items like haddock tacos and mussels with a red curry sauce. Recent reviews highlight their BBQ chicken wings and pork ribs, which are not fried and highly appreciated. The lobster roll is a good-sized portion, though the lobster can sometimes be a bit chewy. Fries are regular and shoestring style, and the side salad is substantial, tossed in a light house vinaigrette. A standout is the Decklyn mocktail, made with pineapple juice, lime, ginger beer, and sliced jalapeño, offering a refreshing taste with a spicy kick. The restaurant is popular for Thursday night dinners, especially for their smoked prime rib, which is especially delicious and makes for a very special meal. Other favorites include lobster salad with arugula, avocado, corn, and tarragon vinaigrette, as well as steak tips, salmon, coconut curry mussels, and bang-bang shrimp. Chef Ben Insuik is very talented and curates a unique menu, with specials that keep returning guests excited. The wait staff and bartenders provide a consistently wonderful dining experience. Guests enjoy the outdoor deck and live music that continues throughout the weekend, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere. Recently, customers have praised the lobster carbonara, which is listed as MP (market price). It arrives in a deep wooden serving bowl filled with plenty of lobster chunks, perfectly cooked, with a creamy sauce, green peas, and pancetta. Many say it is the star of the menu and perfect for special occasions. The restaurant also offers outdoor and indoor dining, making it a great spot for events or casual visits. Overall, Decklyn's remains a favorite for locals and visitors alike, offering fresh, delicious food in a beautiful setting.

I had the fishermen’s platter, wife had lobster carbonara, after starting with bang bang calamari. Food and service was both phenomenal!

Food was bad, service was worse. Disorganized, had scallops come out cold and partially raw. Smelled like wet dogs in the place, the smell in that place is bad. Place needs to be gutted and cleaned. Non service dogs wandering around inside and outside. Definitely do not recommend - way too many good seafood places in Gloucester for this place.
