Summer Shack

"summer shack is one of my go-to seafood places in the area. they are an unpretentious shack-style seafood restaurant. their dishes are well-executed and the ingredients are fresh. they maintain a large rotating menu, which i appreciate. for items that never leave the menu, the grilled cornbread with molasses butter is to die for. i love the fish tacos and the poke bowls. i also love getting raw oysters here. the portion sizes are generous for all meals. thanks for all your hard work!"

"We were a large group – 12 – for a birthday party. The server was exceptional. She did a great job looking after us - attentive, accurate, and friendly. The food was good, but not great. I am a bit of a connoisseur of fried clams and these were not meaty like a whole belly clams should be. The batter had an overpowering taste, so the subtle taste of the clam was lost. I also had a baked stuffed lobster which was good although a little bit dry. Could’ve used a bit more butter soaking or some extra moisture in the stuffing… Like, maybe some extra crab meat ;-) It’s a favorite spot, and overall a great dining experience! Next time, though I may go for oysters on the half shell as an appetizer instead of clams."

"Was on a trip to the Cambridge area with the wife and girlfriend and we decided that we wanted a nice night out with and a seafood dinner. This place was recommened to us by a co-worker and the food did not disappoint. The service on the other hand left a little to be desired. drinks were slow to be refilled, and beverages from the bar were not consistant, but the food was great. So if you are in the area and are looking for decent seafood dinner, give this place a try, but be ready to spend some money."

"I got both cold and warm lobster rolls and clam chowder with a shack attack rum base drink. The drink was good but strong and the clam chowder was refreshingly fresh in taste, texture, and consistency. It wasn't your average gelatinous glob of goo you get at chain restaurants. Fries were average, and chips were meh. The only criticism I have for the lobster rolls is that I would have liked a wedge of lemon to spirits over them because I personally love that citrusy tangy zest! But the portion size exceeded my expectations. I felt I got my money's worth, and I didn't have to go to Boston to get it. So, no expensive parking or long wait to be seated. I've had a lobster roll from James & Hook or Jake & Hook, idk whatever that place is by the harbor, and it was not as good as these."

"Oyster very good, really fresh. We had the 2lb specialized lobster (JASPER'S FAMOUS PAN ROASTED LOBSTER) the sauce was very tasty, didn’t know it came with corn. The garlic broccoli side was bland, but fries were good"
