So satisfying!

I have been to this restaurant often over the years and always had a good meal. With so many new places to try, however, it has been some time since my last visit. On the spur of the moment, I made a reservation for this...More

Still one of the best

It’s been several years since our last visit to this location. The food and service were excellent. After 12 perfect oysters I had a lobster Chinese style. Wok cooked with ginger and scallion. Yum! Carol had their Clam Chowder and also liked it.

A bit disappointing

When in Boston, I suppose you expect every seafood restaurant to be great. We were the guests of Boston residents who used to visit this restaurant often and they loved it. They haven't been in awhile. This location had lots of potential, but it didn't...More

Great Pick

Great food, reasonable prices and excellent service. Nothing to complain about. Our party of six was welcomed warmly and seated even though three of us were still 15 minutes away.

Thank Sojurnr

Good not great

Typical tourist place. I ordered lobster mac and cheese supposed to have a lb of lobster. Not. Wife had clams which were good but dwarfed by the french fries. This would be good if we paid a third less for what it cost. Im not...More

HIGHLY OVERPRICED - OVERRATED

I tried Summer Shack for the first (and last) time this week. I seldom write reviews, but had to tell you what a horrible rip-off we experienced. $44.00 for a one pound lobster that had no meat in it. Give me a break. Lobster prices...More

Dinner with a friend

Good service and choice of drinks. Fried Sea Bass was disappointing — mostly bones with little fish and a high price. Side dishes were unremarkable.

Great Food & Service in a Family-Friendly atmosphere

The seafood is fresh and delicious at Summer Shack. The burgers are terrific, too, and the housemate chips are a real treat. The waitstaff is well-informed and engaging. Menu prices are very fair, especially for Children's Meals, which boast generous portions, including a drink and...More

Good, fresh Food

This was not a typical meal. We were here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The "meal" consisted of steamers, a lobster roll, and the pan roasted lobster. Each went well with the beers! The steamers were good but a little dry. The tarragon mayo lobster...More
