I would HIGHLY recommend this place!!! They not only have the best summer view of the city, but I’m in love with their crab cakes and lobster rolls!!!💗
We had a great meal. Amy was an amazing server (very fun and very friendly) I high recommend.
Great lobster Mac n cheese and crab roll. I gave it only 4 stars because although the coconut margarita was quite good, it was a whopping $18 served in a clear plastic cup that was about 5 gulps and it was gone! For that price I expected a bit more. But, I would definitely go back. The views are nice and atmosphere is fun.
My first time here. Came on a weekend but the wait wasn't too long. As others mentioned, this restaurant doesn't take reservations so be there early to avoid a long line. We ordered a steam lobster 1.5lb, lobster roll and fried calamari. The food was good, price on the other hand is not too cheap for the food quality and casual dining atmosphere. Service was good, servers all smiles and accommodating. Overall, it’s a good dining place for casual dining with family and kids will like the colourful layout. Not too ideal for couples or people looking for a chic ambience.
We ate lunch here and enjoyed our visit. Food was a little pricy, a small cup of clam chowder was $10, but everything we ordered tasted good. I give this place a four star ranking because of the bad service, our waiter took our order and then we didn't see him again until he gave us a our check. We tried to get his attention several times to refill our drinks but because of the location of our table he never saw us.
The atmosphere is amazing. The playlist is 10 years old, which brings awesome memories. For appetizers, we shared empanadas, ahi tuna tacos, and fried coconut shrimps - all of which were amazing. We also shared a 2 lbs steamed lobster. I also ordered the lobster tail, shrimps, and scallops with mashed potato and asparagus and ai loved it. The lobster bisque was seasoned to perfection. The service was quick. Was absolutely perfect. A must try!!!
I was visiting Boston from Canada and wanted an authentic New England meal.
First, there was a bit of a wait (10 minutes) to be seated but it was worth the wait. The restaurant does not take reservations and they won't seat you unless all members of your party are there.
The restaurant is right on the water with amazing views of the harbour.
I had clam chowder and a lobster roll. It was the best clam chowder I ever had-it was rich and creamy with lots of large pieces of clam. Nothing like Campbell's clam chowder soup which is watered down and more potatoes than clams. My lobster roll was delicious and fresh testing-it was like the lobster was just caught a few minutes earlier. My boyfriend had a fish dish and he loved it. He said his fish was tender and fresh.
Mariah was our server and she was patient with questions we had about the menu.
I highly recommend the Barking Crab!
Outstanding! There’s a short wait to get in, but it’s so worth it. Atmosphere is excellent and perfect for a seafood restaurant right on the Boston Seaport. Service was quick and professional. Drinks came out very quickly and we’ll made. Food was fantastic! I had the Naked Lobster 🦞 Roll and Clam Chowder. The best I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back.
The spicy margarita stole the show for this one! That with the crab cakes and oysters is an absolute guarantee for a great meal. The lobster role, yellowfin tuna, and salmon are delicious mains and based off what we had I don’t think you could go wrong with anything on the menu! Make sure to arrive early since they don’t take reservations and the view is one of the best in the city. Also make sure to check out the red lights in the bathroom, very fun
Feel like this is a Boston must see but more so for the ~vibe~. The reason we didn’t order more than a 3lb lobster to share and a beer each was because there was no oyster raw bar, just their house oyster. They also only had littleneck clams (we were hoping to find more large, cherrystone clams). That being said, I would def come back to try their lobster rolls AND crab rolls (which I haven’t seen on any other menus this trip). Their menu has a lot of good options utilizing lobster and crab in different dishes that seemed appetizing!
Pumpkin beer was also well received and fitting as a beer for the cold weather.
My favorite part was the place itself. The atmosphere was very casual, warm and inviting. Benches for seating makes it convenient for accommodating large groups. Friendly staff was always checking in on us to make sure we were satisfied. I bet the large patio is bumping on warm days.
This is the kind of place you want to go for boiled, grilled or baked lobster or you’re looking for crab. The staff will definitely take good care of you and just being in the place makes you feel like you’re where the action is.
Yes it is a bit of a tourist trap and quite pricey but the food was super delicious and the service attentive. We had a special night treating ourselves to a 2lb lobster🦞each. Very filling after the starters.. Really goes well with some local Boston beers.
If you are visiting Boston, this is a great spot for seafood! The food was delicious, a bit pricey, but worth it. Service was not what I expected they could be more friendly. The view from the outside seating is beautiful.
