Very dated decor and set up. I imagine grabbing seafood to go and cooking at home would be better.

Just got fresh lobster. They are so good & fresh. No need to drive to Maine when we have Ray's.

superior seafood selections

Overall good experience, especially the seafood. The sides were abysmal (not confident the fries would beat day old McDonald’s fries, and the coleslaw would put their Dutch ancestors in shame). However, anything related to seafood is amazing. One of the best lobster rolls I have tried, given its quality and price.

We were excited to try some seafood in the local area and this place turned out to be an Expensive Disappointment. Most of the menu consists of frozen deep fried options and worst yet, the food takes on the flavor of days old grease once cooked. I ordered the crabcakes and got some grease saturated breaded patties with hardly no crab meat or flavor whatsoever.

Not much of a restaurant when it came to wait staff or environment, just a few tables to sit at and eat with minimal staff interaction. You place your order at the front counter and they call your number when ready ... most items were served on paper plates with plastic utensils. Considering the plates we ordered were $30+ there was No Wow factor in presentation or flavor.

We had a party of 7 and the general consensus was pretty much the same, we should have gone somewhere else!

I appreciated the staff. Very polite & kind. The meal was great. I ordered the halibut dinner w/ rice/squash as sides. Also, I had the strawberry shortcake for dessert.

I would visit again whenever I'm in town.

Went here tonight for my dinner. I order king crab legs. It was pricey but good.

I will be back but not for the king crab due to cost.

Overall 4 stars

Terrible service and overpriced and poor cooking

The perch fillet was amazing, the batter was crispy and not oily, and the new england chowder was creamy and so comforting on a cold day

Overpriced. Have been a few times, each visit at the counter with a person who does not like her job or serving people. If this is a family member, please consider your customers and help this person with alternative work. Not recommending due to prices and just plain unfriendly counter service.

Tasty lobster roll. Good haddock. Skip the crab cake, which is about 2% crabmeat, tastes like cardboard.

10 out of 10 don’t Recommend I ordered some crab and I literally just got served scraps. It Super expensive for what you get. I’m much rather just go somewhere and get a pound of crab legs for $30. It really wasn’t that clean and service just really wasn’t that great. Also, the picture down below is the food just as I got it and half of the shelves were empty.

We went for lunch yesterday, Sunday about 1:30pm. Ordered the large side of fried oysters, an order of fried fish and side of Sweet potato fries. The meal was incredible overpriced for the paltry serving of both fish and chips at $15.95 and the large side of oysters at $32.00 The fish and chips dinner hd 4 small bite sized pieces of fish and what tasted like reheated fries. The large order of oysters had 4-5 regular sized oysters soon top and the rest of the basset filled with heavily battered small pieces. The sweet potato fried were ok. The total price of $70+ did not justify the less than average meal. We have been coming here for years, and while the meal size had gotten smaller, this was utterly disappoiinting.
