“We drive 45 minutes to & from to eat at the Clam Box. My husband grew up down the street and I worked in town for 15 years. Plus my parents would take me there as a kid. ALWAYS consistent! ALWAYS delicious. 10 out of 10! Worth the wait in line at peak season every time!“

“Joe's On a Roll's products are fresh and affordable. The storefront is fun. Every visit is a party. Check it out.“

“This restaurant has some of the kindest staff. They are always so great with my kids and just incredibly accommodating. The menu is vast with a seafood focus but plenty of options for anyone. Great drinks and obviously great location too. On the pricier side but I think the cost matches what you get for food and location. This is always a safe spot for us to bring guests!“

She was always right there to bring another drink or put in another appetizer. Thank you so much for an amazing day with family and friends! I will definitely be back. The chicken wings and steak and cheese egg rolls were delicious!!“

We will definitely be back there for both the food and the awesome service!“

“Such a consistent experience. Both pickup and delivery.“

“Not sure what the experience the other reviewers here had but we had an unbelievably amazing experience! The views were out of this world- nowhere else in Beverly can say the same. Our server Carolyn was absolutely amazing- she was so diligent with the allergies at our table and took the time to recommend things that would fit all of our needs. We will definitely be back and would always request her. Food was amazing, huge portions, flavorful, and came out so quickly! A must in the area! The only down-side was parking, but we figured it out!“

“Just had three varieties of steak and cheese subs. Ordered large onion rings and french fries. These are extremely generous orders. We should have gotten a small order of each. All three subs very good. Fast delivery. 4 people eating 3 large subs and we have leftovers. Good taste. Good value. Can't get good steak and cheese like this in the Midwest!!“

“After having visited several less then satisfactory Chinese food restaurants, my mother and I decided to try the Eighty Eight. The food was delicious. We were very pleasantly surprised. We opted to eat in, which we both enjoyed. It's a great (very clean) place to spend a quiet meal with a friend or loved one. You can stay as long as you want, and the owners/staff were very nice.“

“I would recommend going here. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was fresh and presented beautifully on our plates. We had a table on the deck outside and it’s was a great view of the boats and the river/ocean. We had a great experience and you won’t be disappointed!“

“We got take out and a lot of it. Everything was great. I was happy to get New England Chinese food as it just isn’t the same in Florida. I didn’t pick it up so I don’t know how the service was; although the family buys here all the time. We ate at home.“
