Awful Arthur's Seafood Co

"Your typical seafood chain restaurant. Nothing special. Convenient parking behind the restaurant."

"A pleasant surprise on Main Street: good seafood at reasonable prices. The Pepperjack Crab soup was was tasty and had some zip, though the portion was somewhat meager (see pic). The Bayside oysters were terrific, served with lemon, cocktail sauce, and horseradish. The Bloody Mary was bold, spicy, and amply decorated. For dessert, the made-in-house key lime pie was very good, with a crust whose flavor stood up on its own. Coffee was OK. Service was excellent, attentive without being intrusive. I wish there was more attention paid to the decor and ambiance; I felt like I was eating good restaurant-quality food in a frat cafeteria. All of the above plus tax came out to just $40 - a great value."

"Awful Arthur's restaurant offers an engaging Monday night experience with their entertaining Music Bingo, infusing an extra dose of fun into the week. The staff's friendly demeanor and deep knowledge enhance the dining journey, ensuring a pleasant visit. The array of beer options caters to diverse tastes, providing a refreshing accompaniment to the meals. While the atmosphere might feel a tad awkward and dull at times, the specific events, like Music Bingo nights, compensate for this, making the experience enjoyable. A notable highlight is their menu's flexibility; for those avoiding seafood, every dish offers an alternative meat option that surpasses expectations, elevating the dining experience. Awful Arthur's might have a subdued ambiance, but the events and menu adaptability make it a worthwhile spot for a memorable night out."

"We hadn't been here before and we're so pleased. It was clean, restrooms were clean, and I did not expect the seafood to be as quality as it was. It was really good and so was the cocktail we tried. Our server was amazing and friendly, the food was cooked perfectly, and it was a great experience! I'm looking forward to dining there again!"

"We dined at the Salem location & had a lot of fun as well as a really good meal. Decor is quaint & comfortable. We met our server Quinn right when we walked through the door. She has a great sense of humor & took EXTREMELY good care of us. We ordered a couple beers (they were really cold) & the crab ball appetizer. It came out quickly & was quite tasty. We enjoyed the dipping sauce that accompanied them. For lunch we ordered the Chesapeake burger which also arrived quickly. The burger itself was very good. Only detriment was that you couldn't taste the crab very well. So with that having been said I think next time I would probably veer more towards the regular burger as the burger flavor itself was very fresh & worth a re-do. We all know that a great server can truly help make a meal successful. When you go, and you should go, ask for Quinn. She will take great care of you & help elevate your dining experience in this charming restaurant."
