Waited for about 35 - 40 minutes, which is normal for this place! People tend to eat fast & leave so the line moves fast. The food was amazing & came out fresh & hot. The lobster roll was fresh & was just the right amount of lobster. The lobster mac was hot & cheesy, it was thin but while it cooled it thickened up. The crab cakes were small for the price but delicious! We loved being able to try this recommended restaurant on our trip! Definitely a fun place to go to if your trip allows the time!

Wonderful restaurant right off the water. Line to dine in was super long, but they had a super easy take out line. Order electronically, leave phone number to get order when ready (which was about 12 minutes), pick up and go eat right by the water 😍 Got the Naked Lobster Roll, Traditional Lobster Roll, and Crab Roll. I recommend any of them!!!! So delicious. The seafood was so fresh. I am from Michigan and love seafood and have never tasted lobster this fresh! Delightful and when we return to Boston in the future, we will be stopping here again 💯

Excellent riverside location and view. No-frills style and friendly atmosphere with picnic tables. We tried the Naked Lobster Roll (warm) and bouillabaisse and they were both very tasty. Highly recommended!

We got 2 clam chowders to-go (the line for the restaurant was very long, but luckily they have a to-go counter with no line!) and asked for bread on the side (no bread bowls, sadly). Clam chowder was good but a small-ish portion. We’re probably going to get dessert in a bit. Those with dietary restrictions keep in mind that the chowder has pork (bacon) in it. Total was $20. Took our food to a nearby picnic table with beautiful views. Overall would eat to-go here again for the experience of eating New England clam chowder with views! Location is very convenient too since there’s stuff to see walking around the Seaport district.

There is a small dock for boats under 25” or so. Not sure if it’s public docks or the restaurants though.

Multiple parking options available. Like Seaport garage that is like 100ft away. Also there's some street parking ~2 blocks away, but availability is very limited

Is there parking

Key Rawlins | Aug 25, 2020
Alan Hoang | Aug 25, 2020

Metered parking is nearby but incredibly difficult to find. The parking garages are nearby but very expensive (at One Seaport it's $16 for 30 min, $31 for 1 hour, $39 for >1 hour), but down the street at 75 Northern Ave there is $17 all day parking, at least on the weekends. Best to Lyft, Uber, or take the T!

Can we park a boat - how much to dock?

Pamela Lueck | Aug 26, 2019
Trish Keenan | Aug 26, 2019

There is always a sign that says all slips are rented, so I don't think you can park there. There are other restaurants where you can park further down by the world trade center/ fish market.
