About Garbo's

Garbo's offers a pleasant dining experience with a focus on New England-style lobster dishes. Their lobster grilled cheese sandwich and calamari remain customer favorites. The fish and chips are a must-try, offering a generous portion for $16, with well-cooked fish and freshly made, delicious fries. The outdoor patio provides a nicely shaded, relaxing atmosphere. The food is consistently hot and flavorful, with attentive and friendly service, including staff like Bruce. The restaurant is especially popular among those seeking East Coast seafood, such as lobster rolls and whole lobster, which are high-quality. Visitors praise the lobster specials, like the boiled lobsters, which are delicious. The restaurant's clean and well-decorated space includes fun features like a pirate ship for kids, a playground, and a turf area. It is wheelchair accessible and offers plenty of parking. The staff is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable, making the experience enjoyable for all.

Went here for a birthday party. Our server was a little rude and kept muttering things under his breath. We were seated for over an hour before he even asked I'd we wanted to order entrees.

I ordered the fish and chips. I asked if I could pay some extra and get some sauce for the fries that are sold as a seasonal item. I was told no in a highly combative way. He changed...read full review
