My husband and grandkids(8 & 4) decided to have lunch there because it has outdoor seating and by the water. We are glad we did. The food was wonderful. I had the Crabcake Sliders, my husband had the Shrimp Basket and the kids had the Fish an Chips kids meal. Everyone of us loved our meals. There was plenty of food to share. The kids loved the scoop of ice cream that came with their meal. The staff was friendly and attentive. The sunny and 70degree weather made the experience perfect.

Since I have moved from Boston a million years ago, I have looked for fried whole belly clams… everywhere, including Florida. When my wife found this restaurant online when planning a recent trip to Tampa, she found the clams on the menu. Well, we tried it out and they were great! I was thrilled. And secondly, their fries were also great. My wife got a fried haddock sandwich and loved it, too! Absolutely loved the place. Great little locale, super nice people working there. 5 stars.

This is a great spot! The restaurant has an indoor and outdoor area for seating. It is also pet friendly on the patio. We ordered Buffalo shrimp, and two lobster rolls. They were delicious! My friend is from Maine and he said the lobster was cooked perfectly.
I will definitely be back!

Lobster rolls were $28.00 a piece. We’re not good and lite on the lobster. Four adults and a baby and a toddler ate for $150 without alcohol.
Everything was overcooked and Childs grilled cheese was burnt. Not going back!!

Hello. We are truly sorry for you past experience. Please note we became the new owners of Taste of Boston as of August 1, 2022. We live in town and actively participate in the restaurant. Check out the new photos to see all the new upgrades not only in the facility, but menu as well. WE would love a chance earn your business back. Our new lobster rolls are by far the best seller at the restaurant!!

The draw here is ballast point and a nice stroll south along Bayshore. But this place is just perfect. Good spacious outdoor seating . Good service. Really a "clam shack" right her in Florida. I had the clam strips which were very substantial portions. reasonable prices. good place to go with kids to play on the playground walk on the dock and then a bite to eat

This is about the only place in the Tampa area where you can get real, whole belly fried Ipswich clams. What a welcome surprise! There are other items on the menu but I can't resist the clams. This reminds me of an authentic New England clam shack, located in the Ballast Point Park with a beautiful view of Tampa Bay. It is no frills, very basic, with inside and outdoor dining. For dessert they have a good selection of great ice cream.

It was a beautiful day to take the grandkids to the Park. They loved playing and walking the pier. We decided to top the visit with lunch. The kids had a hot dog, chicken tenders and fries with no complaints. My husband had A Gator bite basket (grandkids loved the taste, even the finicky one). I had fish tacos with were very tasty. Topped off with a little ice cream for the kids. Everyone left with smiles. Staff was very attentive. Beautiful view, perfect temperature (70 degrees), nice and relaxing.

I stopped here with a friend on a Tuesday around 11:30am. The thick fog over the bay gave it an eerie view, but an hour later the fog had lifted. We sat outside under their covered patio. We enjoyed a delicious, spicy philly cheesesteak wrap, sweet potato fries, a plate of mini-Maryland crab cakes and a bowl of clam chowder. The chowder was nice and thick. The crab cakes were fine, but they were not served with any aioli or other sauce.
Our bill came to $25 before tip.
