    Soft shell crab was dry and bland. . Also can’t believe you charged $7.00 for a piece of cake with a candle after a $600 bill including tip. Really???? Our server, however, I wish I knew his name, was excellent. Pleasant considerate and professional!

    “Mothers Day” and the food was HORRIBLE. This was my second visit and unsure if the kitchen was just not prepared for the traffic. I felt rushed, just HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!

    We ate outside and although it's technically Spring, heat lamps would have been nice. We had planned to stay longer but the cold made it unbearable. Otherwise, I recommend and will be back (when it's warmer).

    I have never been so rushed in my life when eating at a restaurant. We didn't even finish our appeitizer when our main course came out. Every time you looked up, the busboy was waiting for you to finish. The lobster rolls were non events...would never, ever go back

    We sat outside and the weather was great, A little chilly but for April, it was great. The server was excellent and the food was awesome. Keep in mind, this is not fine dining, it's more family and local friendly and if I had to rate it based solely on that, it would be 5 stars all around. We will definitely be back many times..

    Haven't been there in years! Had friends from the city come visit and thought we'd give it a try; the food was excellent, from the 2 types of raw clams, octopus salad, seafood salad, steamers, etc! The service was not great, our waitress was split between outside and inside, where we dined and very little attention; certainly service not in line with their pricing.

    The waitress was awful. She took forever to get our drinks. She acted like she did not want to be there. The clam chowder tasted like it came out of a can. And the lobster meat tasted like it was frozen. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE WORST MEALS I HAVE EVER HAD. This restaurant should not be in business.

    Haven't been to Peter's Clam Bar in ages and the food was as phenomenal as I remembered it! Our seafood extravaganza consisted of fried calamari, a dozen oysters, bacon wrapped scallops, fresh lobster, clams, mussels with rice, corn, a side of asparagus, and the chef's choice dessert which was a cheesecake slice with cool whip and raspberry sauce were all delicious! The staff was super friendly and caring too. The environment took COVID precautions seriously and placed everyone within a reasonable distance. The ambiance was quiet and it wasn't packed.

    Awful service been there a million times the place was barely even busy our waitress barely came over to us we had to keep calling her over to ask for things. The water tasted like toilet water. No clue what is going on there but something needs to be fixed... and get a filtered water system!

    If you cannot sit outside do not go to this restaurant on a hot day. The restaurant AC does not work. It only seems to work in the front of the restaurant. So go to the clam bar area or outside on the deck. The waitress was a little confused and caught an attitude after we complained about the heat. The table next had a different waitress and when they complained about the heat she immediately opened the windows. The manager was no help at all - all he said was the AC is working at 50%. He didn't even think to open the windows just gave an excuse that the door to the deck seating was opening and closing all the time.

    Server was very un attentive, went with a party of 7 and the table was full of our appetizer plates as we were ready for dessert. Always out of water and then we’re given an attitude when ordering and asking for certain things. Would not recommend going back for the price we payed food was not worth it and the service was horrible

    Food was very good. Service was good too. Our reservations were made 1 month ahead of time for 9 people for indoor seatING which was confirmed with 2 phone calls prior to our date. Upon arriving, we were not seating inside and instead sat outdoors on a hot, humid summer night right after a terrible rain storm. We sat on wet chairs and our clothing got drenched. I do not comprehend how a table inside was not provided being that we had set reservations.

    Broiled fish/seafood excellent. Clam strips great! Fish and chips, tasteless with little fish. Fries seem cooked from frozen. Server was slow to volunteer asking chef about lactose free options and removed plates while some were still eating - felt rushed at beginning and end.
