I LOVE THIS PLACE! They have the best clam chowder and freshest seafood around. Try the seafood salad. It has a pile of fresh, succulent seafood and a great dressing. I literally dream about the next time I get to go there.
”Amazing, simply amazing. The clam chowder in the bread bowl was so creamy and delicious that it's my favorite clam chowder. I do not like other clam chowders that are too watery or too thin. This one had a lot of good seafood in it.
”The BEST creamy butter clam chowder!!! You have to order the chowder in a bread bowl. They do a good job of gutting out the bread in the bowl and it's toasted along with the top of the bread... enough to dip into the chowder!
”Wow! Best clam chowder I’ve ever had. You have to get in a bread bowl! The fried shrimp, fish and chips taste so fresh. I will definitely be back! To top it off service was phenomenal.
