Jim and Kelly do a great job. Always helpful in picking the freshest catch of the day and of course the Lobster Rolls are amazing! So fresh!

Got there just as they opened. Ordered. Packaged and ready in about 5-10 minutes. Only thing, we didn't have utensils. Improvised and used the lid from the cole slaw to eat the cole slaw... overall. Food was good.

Best casual seafood restaurant in the entire area, maybe the entire USA! Excellent cooking with quality ingredients. Lots of delicious, meaty clams in my clam chowder.
Everything I've had here is fabulous. Outstanding scallops and hush puppies today! I'm from Cape Cod and can attest to these guys being better than anything there, and that's saying a lot.

THE BEST LOBSTER ROLL ANYWHERE. THE REAL DEAL! I'VE HAD BOTH, THE ONE IN CLARIFIED BUTTER AND THE ONE IN JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF MAYO, SERVED ON A BUTTERED, GRILLED, BREAD SIDED BUN. BOTH ARE STUFFED WITH BIG CHUNKS OF FRESH LOBSTER THATS FLOWN IN FROM MAINE/NEW ENGLAND AND KEPT ALIVE IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL LOBSTER TANKS ON THE PREMISES! I LOVE THEIR HOMEMADE POTATO SALAD, COLESLAW, AND FRESH GULF SHRIMP COCKTAIL! IF YOU HAVE/SAVED ROOM FOR DESSERT, TRY A SLICE OF THEIR KEY LIME PIE. HUGE FRESH SEAFOOD MARKET. EVERYTHING CAN BE COOKED AND SERVED! MOM AND POP BUSINESS, NICEST COUPLE YOU'LL EVER MEET. GREAT EMPLOYEES, THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SERVE YOU. EVERYTHING MADE FRESH WHEN ORDERED! GREAT OUTSIDE TABLES TO EAT AT OR PACKAGED BEAUTIFULLY FOR TAKE OUT. I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH, I'M NOT ON THEIR PAYROLL...LOL. GIVE IT A TRY, YOU'LL BE BACK!

By far the freshest seafood I think we have had in many years. The cod is hands down the most tender, buttery perfection. In addition, the scallops are quite divine as well. The batter is just icing on the cake; Hints of maybe malt vinegar or something makes it extra yummy: crispy, yet light enough not to overwhelm the fish. The lobster roll was also excellent. Overall, this place and the freshness of the fish is legit. And the staff is extra nice which the experience extra lovely.
Highly recommend!

This is by far my FAVORITE place to buy seafood. You have the option to have them cook it or to pick it up raw. I always just have them cook it for me because they do such a great job. I love their salmon, pan seared. Its ALWAYS fresh, never, "fishy." Their sides are really good too. Totally worth it, I'm addicted.

We waited inside for our food to be done then sat outside to eat it. The boys working the counter were very friendly. The owner jim came out and spoke to us, he gave us some shrimp to try with cocktail sauce while we waited. The shrimp were large, pillows soft with great flavor and the cocktail sauce was homemade and delicious.
I ordered the cod basket while my husband ordered the toss up. Both dishes were amazing the cod was fried perfectly with delicious fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce.
The toss up was amazing but we both preferred the new England style over the Connecticut style. We knew we would but wanted to try both. We got hushpuppes with it and they were awesome too.
I cannot tell you how excited we are to come back. We briefly spoke to Jim gain before leaving and we can't wait to return. I've known about this place for 2 years and we finally drove down from Riverview to try it. I'll be dreaming of the lobster roll until then.

Hands down the best lobster roll I have ever had. Service was quick and very friendly. Food was fresh and delicious. If you can, splurge for a Giant roll, it's worth it. Hushpuppies were on a whole other level.
I expect this is going to be a stop every time we are in the area.

Here visiting family. Delicious lobster roll! Lots of huge, sweet chunks! Coleslaw was also really good. Not the best atmosphere for eating in, tables on sidewalk by the parking lot, but so good it was worth it! Came back for scallops, pan seared them at home, and they were buttery and delicious! Going back tomorrow for shrimp, then will try the grouper before we have to leave. Super nice owner and wife, highly recommend!

The seafood are truly fresh. Love their cod basket and shrimp basket. The clam chowder is very good but I just like it when it’s a little thicker. So many other menu we would like to try next time. It probably won’t be long when they have their own sit in restaurant.
