In Short
With 30-plus outposts up and down the Eastern seaboard, this Cambridge-based chain reels in a seemingly endless supply of after-work professionals and tired tourists. The look varies somewhat from establishment to establishment but a casually nautical theme and a crowd as loud as the ocean's roar are fairly consistent. Signature dishes include clam chowder, wood-grilled swordfish, steamed clams, and 2-pound lobsters that can be ordered baked and stuffed with scallops and shrimp.

HORRIBLE DINING EXPERIENCE. Not only did our food take an unusually long time to arrive but when it did, it was the wrong meal. When I informed the waitress, they took additional time in bringing me mine (she said they gave my meal to someone else who started to eat it). However, when they brought my dish (the fried fisherman's platter), they forgot the cole slaw. When I informed the waitress I was disappointed that they messed up my meal TWICE, she appeared to be apologetic. When my boyfriend asked for his meal (the wood grill assortment) to be packed, she threw out his fish and shrimp and packed him only a few fries. INCREDIBLY RUDE SERVICE! THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN BOSTON. I will NEVER return !

Legal Sea Food is very good, don't get me wrong. But it's not the best, or really second best either. Good size portions don 't make up for the high prices. Costs too much for too little. Still, I don't mind it. I wish they were a bit more creative with their offerings as well.

I've ordered takeout from here more than I've eaten, but I've done my fair share of both. Let me just say that Legal Seafoods does have some pretty good seafood. There's no way around it - it's good stuff. But it's not the BEST seafood, and for the prices + wait you'll have to endure, it's really not enough. I like the ambience though. Relatively quiet.
