- Summer ShackSeptember 26, 2017Come in for B.O.G.O. Oysters on the half-shell Sunday through Thursday from 8pm to close!
- Boston.comSeptember 22, 2014Seafood lovers will love this beachy riff on Americana-a “seafood” dog that’s got all the right stuff, including lobster meat mixed with a shrimp mousse. The dipping mayo gives it that kick of summer. Read more
- Scott ChatisJune 14, 2012Sit at the oyster bar, ask for Maureen. Get the fried oyster tacos with brown rice. Put the rice in the taco (really more of a fajita shell) add Tabasco and revel.
- Serious EatsJune 4, 2014Summer Shack, with three locations in the Boston area, is helmed by chef-owner Jasper White, a chowder aficionado who also knows his way around a lobster.
- Enryqwe LopesJanuary 6, 2018If you love the seafood, here is a must, definitely the best menu option is the lobster. Start with a shrimp boiled in beer 👌😋
- Alan KwongJune 24, 2015If you have had your fill of clam chowder try the fish and crab chowder with rum! Oh and the lobster roll is legit. Served on a toast bun with big juicy piece!
- RonniJune 14, 2015Started off with good oysters (I liked the Blackpoint oysters) the fried chicken is juicy!
- Oysters, lobsters and the "be good to yourself" fish specials are always awesome. Family favorite for years.
- Boston.comAugust 4, 2014The oyster selection is outstanding, and the blackboard specials of grilled fish are worth any price. Read more
- Richard GeorgeJuly 25, 2021Excellent food, reasonable prices, and very fast service. Great casual atmosphere.
- Lisa ChartierMay 27, 2010Nifty atmosphere in a place I thought shut down awhile back. Great menu & fresh seafood! The grilled mahi mahi with tropical salsa & jasmine rice was scrumptious, as well as the oyster bar ceviche. Read more
- Luna La CremeNovember 25, 2014Pretty awesome. Super fresh seafood. Can't go wrong with much though the breaded clam was a little meh
- Everything is good, but don't miss the scorpion bowls and the fried chicken!
- Geoff WhiteheadAugust 15, 2013Sad to hear that this location does not have Jasper's crab cakes. They are delicious. Should consider adding them to this location's menu. Hint, hint.
- GourmetLiveOctober 18, 2010The Shack’s relaxed, spacious dining room and butcher-paper-covered tables are the perfect setting for gargantuan seafood platters and buckets of beers.
- BostonTweetSeptember 4, 2010Show your MBTA Charlie Card at any Summer Shack and get a free cup of clam chowdah or a free soft serve ice cream with a purchase of an entree.
- c lApril 27, 2010Cherrystone clams FTW. Try to come on a 2 for 1 day and it'll be one of the best deals around. A great way to sit out the Rt. 2 traffic!
- William ScullyApril 27, 2013The best part of the maple glazed salmon was I split it and only had to eat half. The salmon was under seasoned the salad was undressed and overall the dish was disappointing.
- pappasJune 27, 2010Get the margarita with a few stone crab claw apps - followed by the lobster roll. The best. P.S. Jasper you are too skinny- chill man.
- Sidra MichonSeptember 15, 2011A must order is jasper’s pan roasted lobster. Rumor has it that Julia Childs asked for the recipe.
- When you get All-You-Can-Eat Crab on Tuesday Nights, skip the free fritters and soup. Ask if you can just have King Crab, because Dungeonous Crab sucks ass.
- Teri KirklandJune 13, 2012No more free chowder with entree purchase for showing your Mbta card. Come for the daily menu. Skip the dessert. Banana cream and toll house were not good.
- Kristin RavenNovember 17, 2012They no longer give free ice cream cones when you show your Charlie card
- Ray FisherApril 2, 2012Son says would rather have his canned lobster soup and lobster from our local market in Maryland.
- What do mean this side of the Charles? Vinnie is the best ...period.
