For years this was the only place in the Valley for real Ipswich fried clams. Suddenly it was out of business and now there is a recorded message that the place is open again on weekends. Except it wasn't. Help! Does anyone know if this place is really open or do you know any other fried clam restaurant?

Website is not working so have been trying to call and no answer. Was wanting to try it for my first time... And basically can't trust that it's a actual place. Definitely frustrating. And the place if it is real probably taste good.. but will never know.

The chowder mad bread is excellent. We had the fried and baked fish sampler platters. We are seafood lovers and we weren't a huge fan of the fish. The tartar sauce is homemade though. Prices are reasonable for what you get. The waffle fries are better than the steak fries.

Very nice and relaxed atmosphere. The cook even came to show me the crab meat he was going to use.i explained i was from Maryland. Well the shrimp was like chewing a tire,way over cooked, it didn't matter about the crab meat because you couldn't find it.child like servings, the bread was a heated up roll that looked like someone sat on.there was one one other family in the restaurant eating, we were seated and then waited 6 minutes for a waitress because they we busy socializing with each other, she came to the table I had to ask for water. And she never offered us anything else to drink ,not even from the bar .I ate and didn't complain, my partner eat his calms very small not much belly to them .so I thought well the desert would probably be good. I ordered the Boston cream pie a nother dis appointment the pie was dry like it was make a week ago .it was just a complete disappointment. I should have just went to red lobster at least the prices would have been about the same. And I know they would offer a beverage

Best seafood place ever. The environment is so friendly. There is not TVs so you can actually hear the people you are with. I've been going there with my family for 22 years and never had a bad meal.

Been going here for a few years....always the best fish n' chips in town ! Nice large pieces of fish and with the "chips" (ask for the steak fries if available) . For the price it can't be beat.

OH My Goodness what great food. First time here, a friend brought me to Taylor's. I had Fish and Scallops combo. Crispy on the outside and perfection on the inside. Service is amazing too. Try it you will love it.Margi

We have eaten here several times and just love each and every meal we have ordered. The fried Calamari is also very good. Never had a bad meal

Fantastic! Clam chowder is the best in Phoenix, probably in Arizona. Had the combo and the cod, scallops and shrimp were fried perfectly. Not to much batter, but still had a nice crisp and the fish was great. Girlfriend had the seafood Alfredo, which was a little heavy for my taste, but delicious. She devoured it like a monster. I'll be back soon!

Searched for Best Fish and Chips, they were formerly Best of. The food was acceptable but nothing close to Best of. My issue was the bartender/manager, I thinking a seafood place would have drinks like a Hurricane, etc, I did not really look around at the cliental prior, it was clear, after the fact, this is not that type of place. I tried to cancel our drink orders but the bartender, who came to our table, was not listening. Drinks were, challenging. Having tended bar for sometime, this is very poor service. Again the food was acceptable.

The outside of the building isn't much to look at but the food was really really good. Fried catfish is hard to get right and they got it right. Chowder was good too.
