Customer Reviews
The food was amazing, we all got the king cut prime rib with their loaded mashed potatoes and clam chowder the rib was tender and juicy filled with flavor. The clam chowder was rich with clams, literally the best clam chowder I've ever had. The loaded mash potatoes was loaded with bacon all the way through. We also all ordered shrimp cocktails, the shrimp was massive and fresh. This place deserves way more traffic than it gets. Would eat here again.
This place has a cozy, hometown vibe, but unfortunately, the food experience was far from comforting. Many dishes tasted like they’d been pulled straight from the freezer, with a noticeable freezer-burnt and old oil flavor. Nothing tasted fresh, from appetizers to desserts. Even the dessert seemed like it had been sitting for too long—dry and lackluster. The salad had an off-putting fishy taste, which was a big letdown. The mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders left a putrid aftertaste, and the potato skins felt lazy—barely an upgrade from a basic baked potato. The chicken parm was dry and carried the same odd aftertaste, while the stuffed shells were outright disappointing. Drinks weren’t much better. While the Mountain Dew was the only refreshing part, other drinks quickly watered down
This place is awesome! So much nicer inside than it looks from the outside. Food was great and huge portions. Our waiter was great and had a great vibe. Drinks were strong and good!
I can't say enough about the food. The service was friendly, happy atmosphere very laid-back. A nice place to eat with family and friends. And I will be back
Opted for take-out in the Covid-19 era. We ordered a Clam Plate along with a Seafood Platter ( I think, Scallops, shrimp and fish) Both plates came with ample portions,and the quality of food was above average. There was one gritty whole belly Clam...dang sand! The customer service was fine, the overall atmosphere was somewhat down... the outdoor seating is limited and I strongly suspect the workers are struggling to make ends meet...yes I left a good tip. My heart goes out to these workers...Yes I would recommend.
