The food there has supeeeeeer large portion, love that! For reference, we were a party of 3, and we couldn’t finish any of the dishes so we packed and took it home! Grilled octopus is amazing, onion rings is amazing, and the i-forgot-the-name mussel shrimp tomato pasta is super super good.

Living in Mass I have high standards for my fried seafood and ever since finding this hole in the wall gem of a spot I literally won’t eat my fried seafood anywhere else because no one in all of New England can compare! Immaculate food beyond delicious reasonable and just perfect. Start with the fish chowder because if you don’t you’re a fool. Best scallops wrapped in bacon anywhere. And as I said it’s all about the fried. The Pete’s platter is my always go to. Huge scallops. Juicy shrimps. Clams with belly’s so big and fresh and perfectly crispy. Calamari for days. The whitest most flavorful haddock. I dream of this fish!

Sooo Good! We had the haddock sandwich and the fish & chips. The portions are huge (easily shareable). Fish was very lightly battered and so flakey! No alcohol on the menu. Service was excellent, the are quick and attentive. Solid place for dinner.

My party of 5 came here after a long day walking around Salem. The traffic was a nightmare to get to Quincy so we decided to go north and wait it out. The menu for the Causeway in our AirBnB had “where the locals go” and “huge portions” handwritten on it. I got Spaghetti and Meatballs, my mother in law ordered the Haddock au Gratin, and my wife had fried clams. The food was amazing and the portions were huge. It was a relaxing no frills place. They were busy but our food came out in a reasonable time and the server was attentive. Highly recommend!

We ate our dinner at The Causeway Restaurant at the night of Tuesday, September 30th. After visited Halibut Point State Park and amazed to see the narrow neighborhood to drive through Gloucester, we were very hungry and excited to drink beers. But unfortunately, they don’t have a license to serve any alcohol. I understand and I’m fine with that. We got a good and friendly server. I didn’t catch her name. Dark long haired woman server. We got in and there’s a plenty of people inside to eat their food. The noise was loud but we can talk in a loud voice together. It was about to go getting busy around the dinner time. The food was worth it! I got my Chicken Gorgonzola. It’s freaking fantastic and delicious! Even the gentleman sit across from us who was curious and asked about my food. It’s
