Jasper White's seafood is wonderful, though the prices do not fall into the ``shack'' category. The oyster selection is outstanding, and the blackboard specials of grilled fish are worth any price. Read more

Try the South Bay Blonde Oyster And Tuna Sashimi - Beautiful and tasty bites of oyster , tuna , seaweed salad and roe (via @Foodspotting)
Great place for good food. Had oysters and the mussels are to die for.. the staff are friendly and accommodated every request I had. Highly recommended.
This is a fabulous little joint in BackBay. The prices are fabulous but the food and staff are amazing!
I am a tough critic with seafood and their lobster and crab legs were incredible. Also really enjoyed asparagus and grilled clams .
Seafood was fresh. Service was fantastic! Paella...no words for how great it was. Definitely will become a regular!!!
Excellent grilled lobster . Try the one with ”secret sauce” also.
Try the Pan Roasted Lobster - Sooo much lobster ! And butter! Nom nom. (via @Foodspotting)
Summer Shack restaurants are renowned for their seafood and New England specialties. But who's the chef behind it all? It's CIA alumnus Jasper White '76! Read more
Good seafood selection , specials and deserts . Also good wine selections and a friendly and accommodating staff .

The spicy calamari is a game changer

Oyster happy hour (buy one free one) from 8pm till closing, Sundays to Thursdays.
Oysters are huge! And the Sangria Margarita was delicious.
This place is a hidden jewel , the food is really good.Go for the crab cakes
Excellent Lobster !!!! However, Avoid the crab cakes , nothing like Maryland crabs cakes .
The grilled shrimp was wonderful! We all 7 loved our food.
Good lobster roll & chicken wings . Sides are dry and bland though.
The Lobster specials are amazing. Jasper's or the woodfire!! Great service.
Every Monday through Friday the @SummerShack on Dalton Street (next to the great Bukowski) has $1 oysters at the bar from 4 to 6pm.
The food was great! The server took a while to warm up but other than that it was an excellent time
Show your MBTA Charlie Card at any Summer Shack and get a free cup of clam chowdah or a free soft serve ice cream with a purchase of an entree.
Enjoyed this place, loved the cornbread with molasses butter
If you don't know how to get the meat off the lobster and crab ask your server to show you how/ do it for you! :)
The pan roasted lobster is to die for!
Some of the specials listed here in the tips are no longer in effect. They were for a limited time so ask about them first.
Get the Hot Lobster Roll .
The lobster was delicious!
This restaurant features a “raw bar ” of seafood that will either captivate or horrify your children. You decide. Read more
Kind of disappointing. Very expensive for the size of the portions. Good oysters and mediocre service. But a phenomenal location.
Decent place for mid price seafood . I'd suggest avoiding the mussels as the broth they are in is kind of weird.
Solid CT style lobster roll .
The whole billy clam is awful, don't order it.
Nice lobster roll !!!
Get the pan roasted lobster . When the lobster is gone, sop up the sauce with the rolls!
Lobster roll is OK. We had to wait for a long time and send our food back once. Probably wouldn't come here again. Nice staff .
All the seafood !
Tip Louie and Kendrick well . They are awesome.
Chowder was very good!
Get the corn dog .
Food was great. Oyster , crab legs , lobster . The fat and tall hostess was really rude and threw our menus on the table, just ignore her attitude!
Expensive and ordinary, but with a decent amount of healthy options .
Have the jerk. Really. They mean it when the say spicy .
80s music plays non stop. Pam roasted lobster is the only way.
Tuckermans pale ale
Indian pudding like my mom's...good job!
Kid friendly
Pan roasted lobster and crab ! Unbelievable!
Best crab cocktail and sole fish. The lobster wrap has just too much going on and the thick pita roll needs to go - Tina S
Lobster, their services, salmon and Thai calamari are amazing.. Popcorn shrimp Uhmmm yummy - Catia DaSilva
Can't go wrong with lobster bisque, New England clam chowder, crab cakes...well anything on their menu! - Thérèse Bertrand

Went during the offseason and the tour was still great. The tour guides are awesome. - Nicholas Kirsch
