Reviews Schermerhorn's Seafood

We were on our way home via I91 from a ski trip so my wife was in the mood for a good New England clam chowder. We had two main selection criteria. That it was on the way home and that it was not too pricey. The last and obvious criteria was that it was great food and boy did they deliver. Admittedly, we did not have breakfast yet expecting that we were having an early lunch. The nice lady who served us said "The best onion rings in town" as she served her first plate appetizer. When she came back, my wife and I said we both totally agreed. But instead she should say the best onion rings in the entire state. The Fried Calamari was crispy and tender and it was a nice portion for sharing just like the onion rings. Undoubtedly, they were using the same batter and that was fine by us. Just be aware that the batter is on the salty side. We had fries on the side which was a good complement. The coleslaw the standard but freshly made. The clam chowder was excellent. My wife was quite satisfied but I would have preferred more chunks of clam. We would definitely come back, especially when certain seafood items are available.

You order at the counter and sit with a number at your table and they deliver your deliciousness! Pound of steamers in a bucket is more than enough. Very generous! Boiled lobster done just right with drawn butter. Clam chowder was delicious although my server forgot to serve it as an appetizer so I took it to go and ate it for breakfast the next morning LOL.

Their seafood and lobster prices are always the lowest in the area. There is a restaurant and ice cream area as well, with plenty of indoor and outdoor tables. No-frills dining.
