Great food and great prices. We had lobster tail, fried clam, broiled haddock, onion rings, and jalapeño poppers. All of the food was excellent. I loved the blueberry sauce with the poppers and the seasoned fries were nice and crispy!
Rustic and charming diner-like atmosphere with fun decor.

We were looking for local seafood and took our airbnb host's recommendation. Disappointed. Didn't have the Blueberry beer we came in for and the cocktail was average. Ordered twin lobster tails to share with Mac n cheese and salad. Salad was average, Mac was out of a box and the tails were chewy. Ordered the favorite Blueberry pie ala mode and it was oversweet like pie filling from a can. Very disappointed. Food came all at once and dishes were not removed promptly. Had to ask for dessert and for our ticket. Drinks were not charged, but since she had told someone it was her 7th day, we told her. No pen for the credit card charge. Extra work for a non- extraordinary experience. Not worth the cost and won't be back.

OMG!!! If you are with in 100 miles this is the greatest place we have eaten yet! If you’re looking for fine dining don’t go. If you want great food, great service and a diner atmosphere this is it! From the genuine greeting from the moment we walked in the door and Laura our waitress was excellent! The prices were the best we saw anywhere.
The deserts are all made in house from scratch and AMAZING!!!

Wife and I traveled from MI. In our travels up the east coast,we've had some great food with great people and atmosphere. This place lacked all of it. Normally we share pics of our food and staff. Lobster was good. My wife who doesn't like seafood had pasta. Rarely saw our waitress. Had a table FUUL of dirty plates due to not being removed throughout dinner. Would NOT recommend.

Had seafood combo, fried haddock, shrimp and clam stripes were good. Cold slaw was above average BUT MAC -N-CHEESE was below fair, like poor. Straight out of the box no seafood seasoning or taste. The service was great, but I even warned them I was a reviewer. Wife had Lobster and fries. The fries were crisp and made perfect. Why screw up on a BEGINNER DISH taught in home economics class?

I hate to leave this review but when spending hard earned money, we need to expect more. I haven’t been in a few years although I had previously enjoyed the food. We finally made the time to go this summer. The food was very disappointing. Limp French Fries. Soggy fried shrimp. Absolutely tasteless hamburgers. Hopefully that was just a bad night. The place is an icon around here.

Much better than expected and the kids (14-17) loved it. Not fancy, but true to what it is and decent prices, generous portions.

Hostess and other staff were friendly and helpful. However, I was turned off right away. The tap water was so gross, it really turned my off for drinking and even eating anything else. It’s tasted like they took it from the lobster tank. It was bad. The steak and cheese I ordered came after the 7 others in my party had eaten most of their meal. And it was gristly. Again, the hostess Molly was sweet, jsut wasn’t the experience we were hoping for for a $250 meal.
