The seafood was perfect. The fries were terrific. Our service was incredible. The clam chowder was the highlight for me. I ordered it late as my scallop dinner was being delivered and being as we had a couple fried clams left, I dropped them in the clam chowder and made fat boy clam chowder. As if that wasn't enough when my scallops came I proceeded to cover several of them in clam chowder and eat them. Honestly? They should serve a version of their chowder with a few whole belly clams on top. I'd definitely buy it. No criticism, just an honest recommendation from a very happy patron.

Went here for the 1st time today. My brother had been hounding our Dad and myself to go here. He had never been, but heard good things. Seeds germinate very quickly in his mind, never mind letting him think of it for a couple months :) We finally went today. We got the seafood platter for 2 and the order of calamari. Everything was fresh and hot. The clams, fish, scallops etc. were super fresh tasing and the clams were good sized. I had fried clams a week ago that my wife brought home and they were very small clams. Always wanted to try that place that rhymes with "ham hocks". Not sure why they were so small. We definitely want to go back. We had plenty of leftovers that reheated very well. Next time I would try the steak as that is supposed to be very good there. Service was a bit slow but they only had a couple waitresses. We didn't care - we were in no hurry. A second meal here as good as the first gets this place 5 stars! If you love fried seafood, give this place a shot !

Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere! Came I. After a long day at work , Tracey at the bar took great care of us. Good drinks, food and service Had the New Yorker, I've been at some of the best steakhouses between Vegas & Boston and never had a better NY sirloin. My friends had the seafood platter and it was huge! Took 1/2 home Hate to give up my covered seat at the bar to all those that will flock here, but trust me it's a must try when you're in the Salisbury area!!

Posted a review last week and do not know where it went?? Well, the seafood here does not get any fresher! I was here last week with my son. Never even heard of it before but I will definitely be back. Friendly laid back restaurant and lounge with great staff and again, their seafood is outstanding. I split a seafood platter with my son and it was delicious!! There are seafood restaurants in this area and they are good but this establishment was outstanding. Seriously you must try this place. A hidden jewel! Enjoy and I'm confident you'll be very pleased.

Awesome all around. Great service, great drinks, great food. Friendly atmosphere. Walk in, take out or call ahead to make a reservation.

I have continually gone there with friends for lunch. We usually order the platter for one at lunchtime is plenty of food for two people I have done this at least 20 times. Nothing changes everything is perfect. We get the combination onion rings and french fries with it. It comes with haddock clams scallops shrimp just amazing wonderful seafood, the best on the North Shore. I've been going there since they open four years ago and I've never had anything bad. All their luncheon specials are really a deal , the seafood is fantastic clam chowder, perfect coleslaw, perfect and their steak tips and steaks are probably the best in the area. I give them five stars and would give them them more if I could.

Nice casual restaurant and bar with plenty of seating both in the restaurant side and bar side. The Bartender was very pleasant and helpful always had a smile even know she was very busy very nice job. Had the potato skins and they were excellent made just right plenty of cheese and bacon was very delicious and then I had a Pastrami and cheese sandwich and it was awesome one of the best I have ever had packed with plenty of pastrami the onion rings were good too cooked just right and the bacon cheeseburger was awesome as well a good burger with plenty of bacon and burger toasted bun was excellent everything was excellent.

I thought the flavor was there with the Captain's platter for 2 but everything was either cold or lukewarm. We also got the French fries, and onion rings for the side. The cod and onion rings were my favorite part of that dish. We also got the giant lobster roll, so delicious and the lobster was overflowing. With that, we got to try the coleslaw slide, very crunchy and tasty. The clam chowder was not it because the potato chunks were huge, too thick and floury tasting. I think the best thing to get is the lobster roll for sure.

Went to All American Tavern in Salisbury the other night. I had been here with my daughter once before and we got Philly Cheese steak sandwiches. They were very good. Steak with peppers, onions and American cheese on a soft sub roll. This restaurant has a bar area when you walk in. The hostess station is to the right and we were promptly seated at a cozy booth. There are loads of booths in this restaurant. Our waitress came right over and asked about drinks. I got a Cosmo. It came and was in a VERY generously sized martini glass and filled to the top. Very good. We ordered a bowl of clam chowder to share. I always like to try the chowder to see how it is, and most of the time are disappointed. Not this time. The chowder was homemade, you could taste the cream in it and was full of potatoes and clams, but yet a sufficient amount of broth. Very good. They also had fish chowder on the special's menu. We ordered the clam and scallop platter to share. We knew for the price, $44.00 it would be plenty to share. The platter came and was over mounding with Essex clams, dry scallops, fresh cut French fries and onion rings. We were both full to the brim so there was plenty of food. My husband and I were also very happy with the quality of the food. And I want to thank the management for detailing exactly what you are getting for clams and scallops. Most places you have to ask if the scallops are dry or if the clams are Ipswich/Essex and the waitress usually is clueless in answering. My husband only likes Ipswich/Essex clams so he was very happy. Tiny whole clams just the way he likes them. And I only like dry scallops. They are much more expensive to buy, but much better in quality and taste.
