Aunt Carrie's Restaurant, Ice Cream and Gift Shoppe

My father passed away in August and he had recently suggested to us that we should visit. After we laid him to rest, all four of his children with partners and four grandchildren headed to this restaurant in his honor. We were not blown away by the food, service, or atmosphere. It was nice to be by the beach and have plenty of space for all 11 of us to dine together. We walked across the street for ice cream after. That was tasty.

Visiting this restaurant was a first for me. When my husband and I showed up for lunch we were surprised to find easy and accessible parking. When we went in we were greeted by a very friendly young woman at the counter who seated us promptly. Our server was Matthew and he was wonderful. He was attentive and made sure my husband and I were happy. The food was wonderful and the service was just as good. The setting and atmosphere were very enjoyable as well. I would happily come back because the meal and service were so enjoyable. You have a wonderful server in Matt and I hope he sticks around for awhile.

Clams were plentiful. Clam chowder was delicious. It could’ve had a few more clams as it was mostly potatoes. The lobster was tender, moist and delicious and for dessert we had blueberry pie. The pie is pretty much out of this world with very tiny blueberries but packed with flavor. I can’t wait to come back.

In search of amazing balls??!!! And amazing chowder too??!!!! Well, at Aunt Carrie's, you have found Heaven on Earth!!! I couldn't contain the smile on my face as my girlfriend exclaimed " Oh my God, these balls are huge" as she opened the bag of 1/2 dozen clam cakes we had ordered with a bowl of chowder, white, the best, of course, and a house pale ale. The clam cakes were marvelous. Perhaps the best in all the land. Perfectly crisp, a marvelous cake-like dough that had the most amazing lightness and superior delicate mouth feel, filled with giant clams. The chowder was a perfect balance of creaminess, potato and clam balance to please the senses and satisfy the soul. Perfection!!

As I remember Aunt Carrie’s, being a New Englander, it was a great clam shack. Now, do not waste your money…go to Iggy’s next door. I ordered a hot lobster roll for $28… going rate which is good. The amount of lobster meat was definitely not what you get elsewhere(see pic). The New England clam chowder was not thick at all… actually watery with very few clams. I took a video but can’t post it😣The clam cakes and French fries were heavy and looked like they were fried in old oil. But if you still choose to go, the coconut shrimp was definitely on point!
