Would come here every Friday, was a hit or miss. If it’s busy prepare to wait an 45-1hr for your food. Don’t sit in the bar side unless you want to listen to belligerent people arguing. Won’t be going back after my last experience. We ordered takeout, they forgot my steak and their was bugs in the not so fresh salad. It’s a shame because the food is good and reasonably priced on not so busy days, just seems like there is a lot of miscommunication between the wait staff and kitchen staff. The waitresses are pleasant and friendly.

My family and l went into Knuckle Heads as a party of 11 tonight, it was my mother and her other hall's bday. They made us feel soooo welcome. The food was AWESOME, the atmosphere was AWESOME, the waitress was great and the Manager, Richie was his name (l think). He was great!!!! The whole experience was worth it. Great food, great prices. You get a crazy amount of food. I will definitely go back. "10stars!!!"

We came in with a party of 13 and they accommodated us quickly . The servers and managers were all great . The food was awesome , served hot ,the plates overflowing and had leftovers to take home ! The atmosphere and customers were aLso great. Everybody was friendly , we were here celebrating, two birthdays and an anniversary. Everyone got involved Jeff came out of the kitchen and sang too . Everyone here worked as a team . Will definitely be coming back here.

Fresh seafood is always available at this neighborhood restaurant. This is definitely a regular stop for us on a Friday night. Whether it's a lobster roll or seafood platter the food is always a great value and exceptionally good quality . They have daily specials which never disappoint. Take a ride to downtown New Bedford and check it out !

I was amazed . The clam chowder is so good . Had the fish and chips also very good . I was shocked . Tried a few other things and I was very happy . I'll definitely be back . I'm a big fan highly recommend !!!
I hate to be that person but holy cow, this experience was terrible. I ordered a turkey dinner plate and it was inedible literally. The turkey was SO dry it felt like eating cat food. The “vegetables” I ordered ended up being some sweet puréed sweet potato or something which was entirely not what I wanted by ‘vegetables’. I wanted to like this place based off the reviews but I’m disappointed. I spent $15 on a plate that would taste WAY better and be bigger AND have actual vegetables, not a sweet veggie puree, coming from market basket for $6.

New England is synonymous with world-class seafood, and New Bedford is the heart of New England’s seafood industry, and anyone in the know knows if you want great New England seafood in New Bedford, you go to Knuckle Heads.I ordered the Seafood Platter (Fish, Shrimp & Scallops served with a side of hand cut fries and Cole Slaw), and man, this thing was ginormous! Easily enough for two fully-grown, hungry adults. The cod, shrimp and scallops were battered and cooked to perfection. I thought I’d explode by the time I finished it all.I also ordered three Old Fashioneds. While delicious, I was disappointed in their size. They’re served in shot-sized glasses. I expect cocktails to be served in larger-sized glasses.Service is friendly, but the place is usually packed and servers can be spread thin.All in all, if you want first-class New England seafood at a reasonable price, in a comfortable, friendly, casual environment, Knuckle Heads is your place.*UPDATE*I’ve since tried KH’s quahog & lobster roll - both are excellent. Their jumbo lobster roll is gigantic! I had to eat most of it with a fork to get it down to a size that I could wrap my hands around! I love that they use minimal mayonnaise, which makes for mouthful after mouthful of pure New England lobster taste. Highly recommended.
