Fish was cooked perfect, xtra thick filet, i didnt ask but i think it was cod, generous portion of fries.

“Absolutely Outstanding!! A local gem! Turks Seafood is hands down one of the best seafood restaurants around. The quality and freshness of their seafood is unmatched - they are known for their top-of-the catch, fresh fish and shell fish. We love their sushi but everything on the menu is delicious! Kaylen and her staff are always friendly, attentive, and make every visit feel special. We love Turks so much that we host our company holiday party there every year! It’s become a tradition everyone looks forward to! Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by Turks. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Always enjoy my selections, have tried many different dishes,lastly being your tuna melt( enjoyed) and was enough for two meals.Hubby is picky eater(always orders your clam chowder) along with some type of seafood.Thanks 👍“

“Thankful that our waitress was very familiar with the menu! I stepped out of my normal shell and decided to try the lobster ravioli - it was AMAZING!!!! Not too rich and the sauce was perfect! I'm not a huge fan of marinara sauce and that's why my hesitation but the creamy sauce was absolutely delightful! Thank you for the wonderful dinner for our large crowd! Staff were all super helpful and friendly!“

“I got fish and chips, and the fish was delicious, and cooked perfectly. The fries weren't salted, which I'm not a huge fan of personally...

My only complaint (and it's more of a preference) is that they put sweet relish in their tarter sauce. I'm a firm believer in dill relish only for tarter sauce!“

“This is the seafood joint we were looking for!! Fresh fried seafood that comes out hot! Big servings for a honest price. The staff was nice and the seating was cute and decorated so fun! Has restrooms. The platter with clam strips was perfect to share. Fried scallops were amazing! Cold lobster roll was a surprise, wish it was hot but was still good! Only thing we didn’t really like was the chowder.“

We will return soon...“

“This is officially our new favorite brunch spot! Food and service are truly amazing! Scott was our server this past weekend, and he made us feel like we’d been coming here for years. We got the zucchini fritter Benedict, a Belgium waffle with fresh berries and a breakfast burrito with sausage, home fries and fresh pico de gallo. The menu had a nice selection of Benedicts - We can’t wait to go back and try them all! The zucchini fritter and crispy prosciutto complimented each other perfectly, and inspired us to crisp up our own prosciutto. What a creative twist on an old classic! The waffle had the perfect amount of sweetness and the variety of fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries) was a nice addition that gave it a little tartness. They added roasted red peppers to the breakfast burrito which really made it stand out, and we loved the fresh pico! The restaurant also has a full bar and lots of specialty brunch drinks. There is high-top seating at the bar area, as well as tables throughout the restaurant. We did not have to wait this past Sunday when we arrived at noon, but we were told it does get busy on the weekends, so there could be wait times. Prices were reasonable, which is rare nowadays, and the portions were generous. The quality and creativity of the dishes absolutely blew us away. This place is truly special! Open until 2pm on Sundays, definitely check them out! Cheers and enjoy!“

“Awesome place friendly staff great service 🤘🤘🤘“

“I HAD THE CHICKEN PICANA AND IT SO DELICIOUS ,HOT WHEN SERVED THE STRING BEANS COOKED TO A CRISP SNAP WHEN YOU BIT INTO THEM LOVED THE DISH. MY HUSBAND HAD THE MEATLOAF AND HE ENJOYED IT ALSO. MY OLD FASHION DRINK WAS MISSING THE CHERRY AND IT WAS A ON THE SWEET SIDE FOR MY LIKING.“

“This quaint local treasure was recommended by a friend who lived in the area long ago. The food was great but our server Darlene stole the show. She said she has been working there for 47 years, Wow! She had us laughing with some of her experiences. What a great experience.“

“We visited the Saturday before Mother's Day and found this place to be deserving of a four-star rating. It's ideal for families, offering excellent food without being too crowded, and boasting a diverse drink selection. The beef and broccoli dish was particularly flavorful and generously portioned, while the house lo-mein was equally delightful. Not to mention, the crab Rangoons and chicken fingers were good as expected.“

“The food never disappoints and great staff and ownership!“

“Just a relaxing place for a good meal reasonably.“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Last night, I celebrated my 39th birthday at The Charred Oak Tavern in Middleborough, and it was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece! This hidden gem deserves every bit of its five-star reputation—trust me, you’ll want to make the trip. Every dish was a flavor explosion that left my taste buds dancing and my heart full. I kicked off with the Lamb Lollipops ($24)—four chef-cut chops slathered in hand-crafted bacon jam. The tender, juicy meat paired with that smoky, sweet glaze was pure heaven, making it impossible to eat just one without savoring every bite. For my main course, the Cajun Fried Lobster ($40) with sweet potato fries stole the show. The crisp, hand-breaded Maine lobster, kissed with Black Magic Cajun seasoning, was a spicy-sweet delight, perfectly complemented by the tangy lemon-dill aioli and the hearty sweet potato fries, which added a satisfying earthiness that balanced the dish’s bold flavors. It’s a dish that demands a detour! The drinks were just as impressive. ***for the record they have the greatest whiskey selection of any restaurant within Southeastern and South coast Massachusetts. it’s not even close.*** The Dark Arts Whiskey Flight ($21) offered a smooth journey through rich, bold flavors, while the Eagle Rare Chocolate Maple Old Fashioned ($14)—with its muddled orange, cherry, Aztec chocolate bitters, and maple syrup over a whiskey stone—was a decadent, velvety treat that lingered on the palate. To cap it off, the Hot Honey Peach Cheesecake ($13) was a dreamy finale. The creamy cheesecake, infused with warm honey and juicy peach, melted in my mouth with every spoonful—pure bliss! The service was impeccable, the ambiance cozy yet vibrant, and the food so phenomenal it’ll have you planning your next visit before you’ve even left. Do yourself a favor and head to The Charred Oak Tavern—your taste buds will thank you! 🥃“
