“Nice atmosphere to enjoy your treat with a coffee. Wonderful array of pastries , cupcakes and other goodies. Great coffee. Be prepared for a short wait in line at busier times. Well worth it.Order your next cake for holiday or special occasion and you will be delighted!“
“I’ve picked up many times and tried delivery for the first time today. And was fantastic it came nice and hot! Chz steak wasn’t soggy and no cold fries!! Usually don’t eat out hate paying for cold soggy food. First time was a hit hopefully if I do it again it stays the same. Why I don’t mind if I pay a tiny bit more for better quality. And driver does better when food is fresh!! Impressed tonight again if you like chicken soup yes I know it’s a sub shop but it’s homemade and it’s fantastic!!“
“One of the best seafood restaurants in New England. On weekends extremely busy and crowded and ambiance is like eating in a bus station unless you bring your food outside. But these guys are totally impressive filling orders quickly-they have the process totally down. Fried clams and onions rings are amazingly fresh and portions are big. Good coleslaw. Chowder is a little too thin and milky. Free soda refills. Definitely worth a special trip.“
“This is one of the better "clam shacks" in Massachusetts and in all likelihood the most well-known at least here on the coast. This place is somewhat of a legend which translates to "very popular". In the summer, good luck getting in without waiting quite a long time in line...which I no longer am willing to do. The beauty of coming here "off season" and on a Sunday when the clocks were just turned back the night before is that you are hungry for lunch "earlier", and there are no crowds to speak of. So last Sunday when the clocks said it was 11:30am, it was in reality still 12:30pm in our minds (lunchtime!) as we had not yet had time to adjust to the time change.We've been here many times over the years but not in a very long time so it was nice to be back. Everything looked the same as it always has.We were soon to discover that the overall quality of the food is still quite good. Seafood is pricey these days, so clam shack or not, you're going to have to face the sticker shock. However, Woodman's is not nearly as expensive as another clam-shack/restaurant closer to home and the quality is better. It might be that the sheer volume of business that they do here may keep the prices ever so slightly better than some other places.My favorite thing to order (and what they are known for in particular) are the fried clam bellies. They also sell fried clam strip platters but for me, it is the clam bellies for sure. The bellies are meatier and really have the flavor of the ocean noticeable in each bite.The place is very large with lots of seating both indoors and out. You order at a counter and wait at your table for your number to be called. There is another counter where you can order beer and wine which is served to you right away and you bring to your table.Tom and I both got the clam belly platters, his with onion rings, mine with fries. The portion size was perfect for me but smaller than I remember....but trust me, it is still plenty of food. This is a no frills place that visually kind of reminds me of a camp dining hall.Other menu items include lobsters, lobster rolls, fish sandwiches, crab rolls, steamed clams with drawn butter (another fave of mine), etc. There are a few non-seafood items on the menu as well but that isn't what I'd come here for.There is ample free parking and everything is on one level and easily navigable. There are a few tables that are inexplicably very tight fits but just across the room are larger tables that are easier to maneuver in and out of.This is delicious New England seafood in an unpretentious, unfussy, relaxed setting. One of the reasons I love living in New England is classic seafood in a place just like this.“
“My husband and I were driving through the area and stopped in for breakfast. This restaurant was excellent. The staff and local patrons were so friendly. The food was amazing. If they sold T-shirts, I’d buy one! We give it a 12 out of 10. Highly recommend.“
