Great location... outside on the water.. hard to park , but pleasant once in for that "clam shack " experience. That is where it ends. The food is expensive and poorly made. The oyster po boy has just a few oysters and the roll is so hard and stale that the oysters go shooting out the back with the first bite. The fries are probably the worst in Boston. Preseasoned , cold , potato logs that should be thrown to the fish , but they probably would not touch them . The lobster and crab prices are very high . There are stones on each table which I think are to smash open the crabs, but they are better used to beat yourself over the head with , once you realize how bad the food is ..... It is unlikely things will ever change as there is always a line...why tinker with success, esp when you can get by serving horrific food. I can only imagine how good this place could be if the food were better....Essex this is not ...too bad
Pros: Close enough to the water so you can jump in after eating this swill
Cons: you realize you ate the swill
