A word from Legal Sea Foods - Burlington Mall
The signature dish at Legal Sea Foods – really fresh fish.

All roads lead to Legal Sea Foods. In this case, we are located near four main highways (Routes 128, 95, 93 and 3) on the first level of the Burlington Mall. Make the most of our convenient restaurant location - come for the… seafood and stay to shop. Our entrance-way is marked by a water wall.

With over 40 varieties of fresh fish and shellfish available throughout the year as well as an award-winning wine list, there’s no doubt why legions of fans have fallen hook, line and sinker.

We’ve received a boatload of accolades including “#1 Best Seafood Restaurant” (USA Today, 2013), “Most Popular Boston Restaurant” (Zagat, 2012/2013), “Best Seafood Restaurant” (Improper Bostonian, 2010), “Best Chowder” (Boston Magazine, 2010) and the honor of serving our legendary New England Clam Chowder at every presidential inauguration since 1981.

Diner Reviews
  • "So I was disappointed with our most recent visit to Legal's. While the food was good it wasn't outstanding - frankly, my husband can make better grilled shrimp at home. My son's fish and chips was solid but overall it felt like a very expensive lunch for the quality of what we were given. I honestly won't be rushing back..."

  • "We come back again and again to bring family and friends for when they visit from out of town because the service and food are excellent. We will be back again!!!!"

  • "Had an unusual but outstanding waitress , Amy M. She demonstrated her knowledge of wines, hoping to continue to take courses to be a certified since I am allergic to nuts and sesame seeds. Amy had complete command and our attention and went over the menu since I am allergic to nuts & sesame. She made the night perfect in celebrating my sisters' b-day. Kudos to Amy !"

  • "We go to Legals at least twice a month. This time the service was terrible. I don't know if because it was so quiet... We couldnt find the waitress to get water..and no one walked by to ask. It also took quite a while to get our check. VERY disappointing. When we asked another staff person to get check, he said he would get waitress... we kept waiting..as he walked by again, he smiled assuming we got it..we said we were still waiting..and he said WOW>..let me try again... There were no people at tables around us.. restaurant was not busy at all...so really no excuse. No one was at the front as we walked out to mention it to...."

  • "I've eaten at Legal in Burlington many times, and the service is always fantastic, and the food is amazing. They will change anything about your dish you'd like, side dishes, light on the butter, etc. Very accommodating. I've also been there with a large group, and they are fast and efficient."

    Dined on 7/17/2014
  • "The chefs special fish consisted of 3 fish. tunA that was over cooked and swordfish that was over cooked, the salmon was fine. The meal was overpriced. Also when requesting Fish Chowder, we were told they were all out of it. What? Are you kidding."
    Dined on 7/15/2014
  • "Our dining experience was great from start to finish. The food was delicious, fresh, and came out piping hot. The waiter also paced our meal as requested...not too quickly. Another note about the waiter.....he was very attentive, courteous, and professional.y"

  • "I went to legals for my birthday. I made a reservation and they sat us as soon as we arrived. The service was excellent. Our waiter was so nice and entertaining. Between him and the food is was a great experience. I would recommend it for anyone!"

    Dined on 7/7/2014
  • "Legal Sea Foods is consistently good. Always get the crabcakes which I love and the red wine sangria is the best anywhere. No bargains here but food is fresh and delicious and service was terrific."
    Dined on 7/7/2014
  • "A discovery for us as we've been eating at Legal Seafoods since their Inman Square days. They have a gluten free menu which my husband now needs. Even had gluten free rolls. He was so pleased with his fish and chips as he thought he'd never be able to have them again because of his need for no wheat products in foods."
    Dined on 7/6/2014
  • "One of our favorite restaurants. Legal seafood never fails to deliver good food."
    Dined on 7/5/2014
  • "Very good meal at Legal Sea Foods. Tried the Bang Bang Cauliflower to start and it was outstanding! Just like Kung Pao chicken but, obv, with cauliflower. My companions tried the Legal Sangria and loved it! Food was very good. Service was spectacular: the perfect mix of very helpful suggestions and leaving us alone (no offense!) to enjoy our time together. Never felt neglected, never rushed and that was very much appreciated. Also appreciate the knowledge of menu and the recommendations for pairing/starters. Only complaint: onion strings came out cold. Not warm, cold."
    Dined on 7/3/2014
  • "This location of Legal's continues to slip. We love Bluefish, but this time it was dry. The restaurant itself could use a good cleaning. We've had the premium side of Kale at other locations. This one was short on yogurt and the peanuts were totally missing. The last several visits have been a disappointment. Too bad because we like to eat at Legal's. Is it just this particular one?"
    Dined on 7/3/2014
  • "Food was fair at best. I had the seafood casserole with a creamy base. It was pretty dry and the fish was scant and overcooked. Pretty pricey for what we had too."
    Dined on 6/30/2014
  • "If you are looking for excellent seafood you won't get it here past the raw oysters and lobster bisque. This restaurant is, as we say in the West, all hat and no cowboy. For the prices you can do much better elsewhere, so shop around. That said, the service we got was excellent, save for the long wait for the check."
    Dined on 6/29/2014
  • "For the second year in a row, our party of 10 had a wonderful lunch amongst old friends and family. We were seated at a large round table as requested, in a quiet out of the way area as requested. The entire restaurant staff was smiling and friendly and easy-going. Our server Chrissy was fantastic and fun. We'll be back again before another year is up. Thanks for everything! The food and the service were great."
    Dined on 6/29/2014
  • "We were there for a special occasion. The seafood was delicious and the waiter was outstanding."
    Dined on 6/27/2014
  • "Try the wood grilled shrimp, delicious. My dining companion had the lobster which was also delicious. Service was great."
    Dined on 6/25/2014
  • "The Greek salad with chicken was ordinary. Tiny bits of feta cheese, more like Panera than Legals. Ic couldn't find a single olive! I've eaten here many times and find Legal's to be consistent with their food and service. Not today. I hope it's not a general sign of their food quality going downhill."
    Dined on 6/24/2014
  • "The food was great - really enjoyed everything. However, the service was incredibly slow - I could have understood this had the restaurant been full, but it was not."
    Dined on 6/23/2014
  • "Wait staff always accommodating as to how you want your meal prepared as well as offering othr suggestions."
    Dined on 6/21/2014
  • "My dining partners salmon was over cooked and the nuts on the salmon were burnt. The spinach wasn't drained so the salmon was floating in spinach water, all in all pretty bad. My haddock was excellent but the mashed potatoes were very heavy and dry. The manager offered to buy us dessert due to the salmon dish and that we are very loyal Legal customers. That was a nice touch but just a suggestion, you may want to offer the 'mini' desserts that are so popular now and bring back the profiteroles, they were great. Always love Legal, but last night was a bit off."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "This is the 2nd and last time I will be underwhelmed by Legal Seafood. I ordered the seafood stew(ciaopino). Not one clam had any meat in it. The broth was blah- no flavor. The toast that came with the meal was so hard, I couldn't bite into it even after dipping it into the broth. My co-diner ordered the salmon which was dry with excess buttery oil all over the dish. Last time, the mussles were extremely sandy. When I complained to the waiter he said that happens some times. Not of $30 a plate! We wont be returning for the third strike..."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "The service and ambience were excellent! We found some of the meal way overcooked, e.g., fried clams and some of the scallops. The fish fillets were excellent as well as he fried shrimp."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "Legal Seafoods was THE place for fish in the 80s but now due to expansion its just mediocre, with pretty high prices. Most in my group thought their dinner was "just ok" with a couple saying it was "tasteless." When you add in the very high prices, its pretty sad how far they have dropped."
    Dined on 6/18/2014
  • "Special dietary restrictions require ordering food prepared without any starch. Legal Seafoods was not only accommodating but pleasant about it, even offering substitute side dishes at no extra charge. Waitress was very pleasant and attentive without hovering."

  • "Arrived early, seated early, food was phenomenal, waitress did a wonderful job. Overall, a great experience."

  • "Great lobster rolls, a great place for lunch or to take a break from shopping."
    Dined on 6/12/2014
  • "I am a long time New Englander that was raised on great local seafood. It is difficult to find a restaurant that provides such a wide variety of fresh fish and then, prepare it to perfection. I had the pleasure of dining here with my wife and kids for lunch recently. From top to bottom everything was top notch with attention paid to detail in every aspect. Christina, our waitress was terrific. The food came out hot, on time and cooked perfectly. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every bite. Family friendly, accommodating, fun, delicious - wonderful experience! And, the best Fried Clams to boot!"
    Dined on 6/10/2014
  • "My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary at Legal in Burlington and had a delicious meal. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food and the wines and helpful in every way. Mall eating is not how I generally like to spend my dining dollars. Legal's location in a mall is a bit unfortunate but I quickly got over it."
    Dined on 6/8/2014
  • "The best lobster roll in town and the raw bar has a great selection. Our server was very knowledgable about the oyster selection."
    Dined on 6/8/2014
  • "Took 93 yo for a birthday lunch.....lovely waitress, food always consistently good, fussed over the birthday girl with dessert. Had worst table in place - only negative. Restaurant should be better equipped for elders with mobility challenges."
    Dined on 6/8/2014
  • "Have been going to legal for years -and always been satisfied, so is disappointing to be posting a poor review. All aspects of the dining experience were off on this visit (cold food, stale, poor service). Will give it another try in the future, but wont rush back"
