food was very fresh, very good. plain, broiled foods, no funky spices etc..... healthier. yeah the decor was older but would you rather get really good fresh food or pretty looks but food you get sick on.
i had the boiled seafood combo and calimari (fried). its just like home cooked real fresh food.
anyone who gives this place a bad review probably is a snob and expects seafood to be loaded up with spices etc....
price was reasonable considering the location. ample parking amazingly. a good deal considering the quality of food. menu is rather small, maybe 20 items. expect to pay $15/person. i would go back if im ever in the area wanting seafood.
waiters were friendly, kinda reminds me of the deli guys behind supermarket counters. they weren't on the ball as much as i would have liked.
if you're trying to impress a date im sure there are much more ritzier places and pay 3x as much.
they prepare the food as your grandmother would have, plain and simple. if you want spicy hot or BBQ flavored fish this isnt your place. its right on a fishing pier so yes it will smell like seafood because the food is FRESH. people are so used to frozen seafood/foods. if you are a tourist, this is what FRESH, unmolested, new england seafood tastes like.
the tartar sauce is home made so its not from a bottle. its greenish because it has dill pickles in it (thats how real tartar sauce is made)
if its really that bad, how does it stay in business almost 100 years?
in my grandfathers age, it was just a shack on the pier.
it reminds me of durgin park a little, a bit of a walk away.
Pros: very fresh food
Cons: slower service
