Reviews


Now, you have 2276 opinions from 8 website(s) at your disposal. The midpoint review for Southside Fish and Clam Restaurant is 3.8, denoting that the vast majority of its guests was satisfied with its service. Step inside this restaurant and you'll be transported back in time to a large, fresh fish market combined with a restaurant. While the ordering process may seem a bit strange at first - place your order at the counter, grab your beverage separately, then wait for your number to be called - it somehow all works. The Captain's platter was a hit, featuring sweet and tender scallops, delectable baked clams, and a whole lobster from Nova Scotia that was also praised for its sweetness and tenderness. While some dishes lacked a bit of seasoning, the overall experience was positive. The staff was patient and accommodating, even when a group of diners lost track of time. In contrast, one reviewer had a disappointing experience with the lobster and vowed to never return. Despite a few negative experiences, others raved about the friendly staff, delicious seafood offerings, and overall great atmosphere. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking to try something new, this restaurant seems to have something for everyone. So if you find yourself in the area, give it a try - you may just find yourself coming back for more seafood delights.
