Jonathan SullivanMarch 26, 2013If you're looking to not spend an arm and a leg, definitely ask for market prices. Food was good, but $$$$$pricey$$$$$
matt sMarch 25, 2013Good food, but way over-priced tourist trap. Check out other seafood places before considering Barking Crab.
Laurie JohnsonApril 23, 2012Fried food sucked, but dot complain. Manager will ook through your food to see how muuch you ate! Management and fried.fod.auked!
Omar VerduzcoSeptember 14, 2016Food is just ok for my taste and I was not impressed with picnic tables that make you eat elbow to elbow with strangers.
Marc Jacobs IntlMay 6, 2010For some great seafood, get over to the Barking Crab. The Fried Fish sandwich is yummy!
Lisa EdingtonJune 6, 2018The fried shrimp was spot on. Clam chowder was good bit I've had better. Service was meh.
John FarmerJuly 17, 2015Service was good, the fish and chips were so-so, men's room dark and smelly!
Maxwell McCormickApril 12, 2012I spent a lot of money here. I eat a ton of food. I regret nothing. It tasted that good.
Get a Guppy Bowl! The blue one has Swedish Fish in it.
Jillian PennymanDecember 10, 2011A few people have complained about the service, but I had fantastic service! I would recommend the chilled seafood platter (you can get it served warm if you like). The half size is a huge portion!
Sean EbertSeptember 29, 2013Dont get the hype. Overpriced mediocre food. Had the naked lobster roll which was $29 for a hot dog bun with some scraps of leftover lobster... meh.
Understaffed so the service was abysmal. Not worth the wait or the cost. Save your money and go somewhere worth waiting for like Neptune.

"Best Lobster Roll in Boston but it's always available so it's worth trying something else and saving the Roll for next time."
