This is the best place to grab a clam chowder bread bowl and fried shrimp, just be careful with all the seagulls around not to drop any bread or you will get swarmed. The prices are not bad at all, two of us had a...Read More

This place feels like you’re eating local even though it’s located right in the middle of a tourist area. The prices were much cheaper than most places and the portions were a good sized. The shrimp roll was loaded with shrimp, just wish the bread...Read More

Love this place. Small and quaint. Good and fast service. I always order the clam chowder bread bowl for $11 and it is amazing!!! They also bring you a bread basket after being seated and I've never had to wait to be seated.

If you are looking for value, it’s really a great place. We got two fresh large crabs, fried squid, and shrimp cocktail and juice. All for $74 + tips (versus other restaurants around $65 per crab). We assume the reason the review isn’t perfect for this...Read More

This place speaks chinese. They give off street food vibes. The food is not very pricey. Calm chowder worth my money. If they heated up the lobster sandwich it would have been better.

Delicious lobster roll with loads of large chunks of lobster and just the right amount of mayo or sauce to pull it together. Served with lemon and hot butter on the side. Fish and chips (curly fries) were good too.

Amazing value and their homemade cocktail sauce is an unsung winner. I love fried clams. The crab station has a vast array of fresh seafood fried just right. But the value! If you ask for no fries, they give you a very large basket over flowing...Read More

The best crab sandwich I have ever eaten in my life, I regularly dream about this sandwich. It comes on fresh Boudin sourdough bread and I highly recommend trying if you have not before!

Hands down the BEST lobster roll you will ever have. Go here every chance I get and has been great in taste and quality consistently. It is pricey, but similar in cost to anywhere in Frisco. Tip: Ask them to cut your lobster roll in...Read More
