Excellent Lobster Roll & Chowder!
My experience at the restaurant was excellent! I had the $25 lunch special, which included a Lobster roll and chowder. Everything tasted excellent. The service was very friendly and welcoming.

Delicious Clam Chowder and Great Service
I ordered the clam chowder, and in terms of flavor, it was very delicious. They offer different portion sizes. To try it first, I ordered a cup, and it came with two slices of very tasty sourdough bread. As a courtesy, they gave me a sample cup of another dish they have, which is like a soup with rice, shrimp, sausage, and spices; it was also very delicious. The cost was quite reasonable. The place was clean, pleasant, and the service from the girl was exceptional.

Fantastic Lobster Roll and Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. I tried their lobster roll for the first time on the west coast, and it was truly fantastic. The clam chowder was also excellent. The service was both friendly and quick. I will definitely come back.

Bizarre and Uncomfortable Experience
My experience at this restaurant was quite unusual. We stopped in with a party of 6, and the place was empty. We tried to order 4 lobster rolls and 2 fries, which didn't seem like a lot to ask. However, the waitress appeared overwhelmed, stating she was all alone, and then she started crying. While we felt bad for her, we found the situation to be strange and uncomfortable, leading us to leave. It didn't feel like a restaurant that was running properly. The staff's inability to handle a simple order and the resulting emotional distress created a very awkward atmosphere. I understand that cashiers are people too, and I aim to be honest and provide my best when I can, but this interaction was the single worst I've had in 7 months because they were MEAN. To leave a one-star review because you didn't get your way is petty. I hope everyone is blessed and having a beautiful life, including Mr. Kudszus. I understand not everyone is kind and people like to make others feel bad. I love to make people happy with what I CAN do; if you are respectful to people, they usually don't cry. Take care everyone, thank you for my first negative review! Some people wake up and spread pain. I spread joy and move on to a new day.

Bizarre and Uncomfortable Dining Experience
My family and I, a party of 6, visited this restaurant when it was empty. We tried to order 4 lobster rolls and 2 fries, which seemed like a reasonable request. However, the waitress appeared overwhelmed, stating she was alone. To our surprise, she then broke down crying. While we felt sympathetic, this is not how a restaurant should operate. Consequently, we left. It was undoubtedly the strangest and most uncomfortable place we have ever been to.

Affordable and Delicious Meal!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was very tasty and the price was very good. For anyone who has traveled more than one block from their home, this is a perfect spot for an affordable and delicious meal. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Delicious Seafood and Great Value!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was looking for some sort of seafood and found this place. It was absolutely delicious! I especially loved the $25 lobster roll and chowder, which was an incredible deal. I would definitely come here again.

Disappointing Food, Good Service
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the service was good, the food was not up to par. The clam chowder was chewy and unpleasant, offering no reason to return. Additionally, the crab rolls were disappointing as they seemed to be missing the crab. The atmosphere was also not enjoyable, scoring a 2 out of 5. Overall, the food quality was a significant letdown.

Incorrect Hours Posted Online
My experience was disappointing due to the incorrect hours posted online. There was a small sign in the window with the current hours. I recommend updating your website.

Friendly People, Great Chowder!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The people were super friendly, and the food was great. The facility was clean with plenty of seating. I was impressed by the 4 sizes of chowder, with the $14 version being a full meal. The bathroom and tables were also clean.
