Come in for B.O.G.O. Oysters on the half-shell Sunday through Thursday from 8pm to close!
Seafood lovers will love this beachy riff on Americana-a “seafood ” dog that’s got all the right stuff, including lobster meat mixed with a shrimp mousse . The dipping mayo gives it that kick of summer. Read more
Sit at the oyster bar , ask for Maureen. Get the fried oyster tacos with brown rice . Put the rice in the taco (really more of a fajita shell) add Tabasco and revel.
Summer Shack, with three locations in the Boston area, is helmed by chef-owner Jasper White, a chowder aficionado who also knows his way around a lobster .
If you love the seafood , here is a must, definitely the best menu option is the lobster . Start with a shrimp boiled in beer ????????
If you have had your fill of clam chowder try the fish and crab chowder with rum ! Oh and the lobster roll is legit. Served on a toast bun with big juicy piece!
Started off with good oysters (I liked the Blackpoint oysters ) the fried chicken is juicy!
Oysters , lobsters and the "be good to yourself" fish specials are always awesome. Family favorite for years.
The oyster selection is outstanding, and the blackboard specials of grilled fish are worth any price. Read more
Excellent food, reasonable prices, and very fast service . Great casual atmosphere .
Nifty atmosphere in a place I thought shut down awhile back. Great menu & fresh seafood ! The grilled mahi mahi with tropical salsa & jasmine rice was scrumptious, as well as the oyster bar ceviche . Read more
Excellent oyster / condiment balance ????
Pretty awesome. Super fresh seafood . Can't go wrong with much though the breaded clam was a little meh
Everything is good, but don't miss the scorpion bowls and the fried chicken !
The best clam chowder I've had in a long time! Clams were excellent!
The Arctic char special was excellent.
Sad to hear that this location does not have Jasper's crab cakes . They are delicious. Should consider adding them to this location's menu. Hint, hint.
The Shack’s relaxed, spacious dining room and butcher-paper-covered tables are the perfect setting for gargantuan seafood platters and buckets of beers .
Oysters are great! Ken is the best waiter ever!
The fish tacos and crab cakes were awesome.
Jumbo Canadian Roasted King Crab Legs - to die for!!!
The fried chicken and potato salad is outstanding.
Fried seafood . Yummy! A bit expensive though.
Great lunch specials , including a swordfish BLT
Excellent Sea Food and Service!!
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.
Amazing lobster rolls !
Very good seafood get pan seared lobster
Cherrystone clams FTW. Try to come on a 2 for 1 day and it'll be one of the best deals around. A great way to sit out the Rt. 2 traffic!
The best part of the maple glazed salmon was I split it and only had to eat half. The salmon was under seasoned the salad was undressed and overall the dish was disappointing.
Lobster potstickers . That's all you need to know.
Get the margarita with a few stone crab claw apps - followed by the lobster roll . The best. P.S. Jasper you are too skinny- chill man.
Oyster selection is good. Don't get the cod cakes
Fish tacos are great. Steak tips even better!!
The lobster roll is great
Get the Bluefish, and NO, you don't hate Bluefish, you LOVE it, trust me
A must order is jasper’s pan roasted lobster . Rumor has it that Julia Childs asked for the recipe.
When you get All-You-Can-Eat Crab on Tuesday Nights, skip the free fritters and soup . Ask if you can just have King Crab , because Dungeonous Crab sucks ass.
The jerk seasoning is soooo good! My taste buds are numb!
No more free chowder with entree purchase for showing your Mbta card. Come for the daily menu . Skip the dessert . Banana cream and toll house were not good.
They no longer give free ice cream cones when you show your Charlie card
The lobster potstickers are great!
Try the Ginger Chile Chicken Wings - Yummmmmm <3
the mussels in white wine & garlic sauce appetizer
Son says would rather have his canned lobster soup and lobster from our local market in Maryland.
What do mean this side of the Charles? Vinnie is the best ...period.
Great food, great atmosphere!
The roasted crab legs rock!!!
Coleslaw was really good. Son's lobster watery.
Ordered fish and chips .. It's okay..
Lobster sandwich (on buttered toast, not a roll) is about 99% lobster. So good! Steamed clams are great as well - David B
Lobster, their services, salmon and Thai calamari are amazing.. Popcorn shrimp Uhmmm... Every time I go to Boston I eat at Legal great environment - Catia DaSilva
Excellent Experience! Walked in with no reservation and sat in the patio. Fast and friendly service. Seafood looked so good, we ordered multiple starters and raw bar picks for our whole meal. - Matthew Shannon
Favorites: the meringues are great, try the wine salami (merlot and pinot noir), Joe's Cola, rack of lamb, and the white bean/basil hummus. Only dislike: spinach and feta pizza (no feta flavor at all) - Anthony Tecce
Mac and cheese is excellent. Buffalo chicken tofu. Korean beef salad. Chicken stew. All in hot food bar. - AlohaKarina ????????????
