Try the Atlantic fried shrimp with the Cesar salad . The shrimp are a smaller variety but very tasty and the Cesar dressing was very good

Matthew Coyle

Clam chowder was fantastic. My wife's lobster bisque was possibly even better (close call). Had the blackened salmon . 2 cooks. Be patient. Worth the wait. Drink a beer and enjoy! Cheap and great eats!

Paul

My favorite pub-grub on the globe. Lobster roll and burger are great. Halopina poppers need better cheese inside but good. Great beer . Ordered a blueberry ale and the waitress didn't turn up her nose.

If you can't decide, get the fresh catch fish sandwich with a real ale . If the line is line , put your name down and start with dessert : head down the street to get lobster ice cream

Steve Poland

Blackened fish sandwich was great. Salad was great. Chowder was amazing. Chicken fingers delicious. Recommend this place.

Lisa Newman

No glitz & glamor, but decent food at reasonable prices (which I appreciate in an area that attracts alot of tourists/seasonal visitors). Service was efficient but just OK. Really good clam chowder !!

Eileen

I liked the blackened haddock sandwich with a cup of chowder . Heads up: they charge extra for lettuce, tomato , and onions which I didn't realize until the bill came. Skip the garlic bread .

Liam Oliver

Great spot for some chowder and local beers . Always pleased.

Great chowder and service. You will love this place.

The jalapeno poppers are OK, but not worth $6.25; however, the burger is delicious! Stop in for a bite, its worth it.
