The Best Seafood Ever!!

by Lobsterlover1

Let me tell you. Yesterday was the first time my husband and I were there and we were satisfied and full by the time we left. I ordered the Lobster roll platter with hot butter and my husband had the scallops dinner. It was delicious!! We also had a Clam Strip appetizer. Very tasty food, generous portions and the prices were great too!! We will be back!

GREAT FOOD WITH GREAT PRICES

by grtmlsonly

GREAT place for AMAZING affordable dining. I've been here on several occasion. I've tried many things and have enjoyed them all. It's a "hometown" place that is very inviting. If your not into stuffy dining and like social serves and want a few laughs to go along with a great meal this is the place for you. You can indulge yourself in an array of fried seafood or if you are counting calories they'll make you a delicious grilled chicken wrap. I've had many "special meals" made that aren't on the menu. They are accomodating to all taste buds. Ask and you shall receive. Stop by and give them a try.

  • Pros: great prices
  • Cons: you'lll be tempted to eat fried food -- don't cave

Don't Go Here!

by complaintnumber53

Consumer Beware this place is extremely racists. The restaurant staff openly spoke words of hate and discrimination while we were there. They spoke against african-americans and latinos with threatening words. They said we should be hung and burned. We had to leave because we were so scared. This was the worst discrimination experience I ever had!

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Threatening Atmosphere Don't Go!

Very scary experience!!!!!

by cherielle

We had a very scary experience a couple days ago. On Monday night Nov 10th, 2008 we went to eat at Sam the Clams 1303 Meriden Avenue. Southington, CT 06489. Phone: (860) 621-0522. While we were waiting for our food, one of the employees was talking with other customers about how they felt about our President Elect Barack Obama. Shortly after we got our food delivered to our table, the same employee began shouting out that he wished "They never stopped burning and hanging black people..." I should mention he began shouting this and many other comments towards our table after one of the customers pointed us out sitting nearby. Once he (the employee) took notice of us, he began getting even louder and apparently very agitated. He continued making further comments such as, "I'd love to burn "color'ds"... I'd burn them all and everyone with them..." and many other violent comments. No one made him stop. Instead, other employees and customers engaged themselves in the behavior. It appeared as if the employee that was yelling out the violent comments was the restaurant?s bartender. There were 4 or 5 customers sitting at the bar, and I only noticed one other table of customers aside from us in the restaurant.

We immediately asked for our check, I wrote a note stating I refused to pay the bill because I felt verbally threatened by the restaurants? employee, left $00.00 in both the tip/total payment areas, provided my cell number should they want to reach me to discuss and my signature. Then, we left.

We reported this to The Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who has explained to have zero tolerance for such behavior.

  • Pros: Blatently open discriminatory employees and customers
  • Cons: Blatently open discriminatory employees and customers

Yumm

This place has the best lobster rolls and lots of yummy seafood. But it's all fried, so if you're fat and love unhealthy food (which is probably why you're fat! duh) then you'll love it here. But don't forget with that huge plate of fried, fried, and more fried food, order a diet coke. That should help!!

  • Pros: great place for fat people on their way to obese
  • Cons: makes you even fatter
