They always have a good variety of options and are helpful if you have questions about anything. The one recommendation I would have is go on Friday afternoons when they have free oysters (usually along with several other free samples). It's a great way to try some different kinds of oysters and inevitably pick some to take home with you. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area.

While eating wonderful fresh shucked Oysters and their cooked shrimp (have bought the shrimp before, large sweet and perfectly cooked), was able to really spend time looking at their great selection of fish. Left with the Halibut and more shrimp, but will have to come back for the swordfish, cod and more. Also left with 3 very reasonably priced exceptional Lobster Rolls. It was a special they should have more often.

I live around the corner and have come here a number of times. When I first moved here I thought…read morethis place was an underrated gem, but now that I have had it 7-8 times it's just ok. The seafood is fresh and the portions are a good size, but every time I go in there it seems to be run by a group of high schoolers... Over the phone orders have been incorrect, the tables are almost always dirty, and I watched the kid at the register bring a piece of fish back to the cook without so much as a glove on his hand... The prices are not cheap either, two seafood dinners (a piece of fish with one side) will run you $50 easy. I get the sense the owner of this location doesn't stop by often to check on how their staff is doing. When I visited recently a half an hour before closing time, the staff seemed irritated that they had to take another order and fire up the grill again...mind you I walked in at 6:30 not 6:50 when they close at 7. My flounder sandwich was large and fresh, but tasted like nothing as if no salt or seasoning was used in the fry batter. My wife said the same about her grilled halibut, fresh but lacking in flavor. All in all it works if you are in a pinch and want some fresh fish, but I would not go out of my way to eat here.

Unfortunately, the fried stuff had a slightly burnt quality, and the oil had an unusual flavor. I really wish I had gotten something that wasn't fried because someone sitting near me had what looked like a lovely salad and maybe swordfish? That looked much better. I would've given this place two stars for the flavor of the fried food, but the service is really so lovely!

The people working there were really nice and let us eat there until 8. It is cute inside, with limited seating. They also have picnic tables outside. They sell wine, pasta, sauces, coffee beans, ice cream, etc. some from local companies/vendors. It's a fun place to browse. Their chicken sandwiches are good, but I always get a bowl with either chicken thighs or steak. They have excellent sauces and the food here is really good, albeit a bit on the saltier side. The clam chowder is nice and hearty. I also really like their drinks, including the strawberry rhubarb one and the lemonade.

Their fried chicken sandwiches can all be made with plant-based chicken, which suits my current situation. I had the Street Corn Chicken Torta (G, D) with the plant-based chicken and it was fantastic. My potato salad side was excellent too. They had a lot of orders up with folks coming in constantly. Such a cute building also. Great place, and the staff were super nice as well.

Great seafood place!…read more Dined here with a big party and we were comfortably accomidated on a Friday night. This restaurant is very nice and spacious and offers a variety of seafood entree's for everyone. This time I ordered the lobster sandwich and it came with a choice of any side soup. I got the yummy clam chowder and it was very creamy and hot. There was a generous amount of lobster in my sandwich and I was happy about that. It tasted fresh and I really liked the seasoning. For appetizers we ordered their calamari and crab cakes which were also very good. The calamari was nice and crunchy and the The crab cakes were very flavorful. The fish entree's looked great and I was lucky enough to get a bite of each. Next time I want to get the flat fried fish! Yum! The service was great and everyone enjoyed their meal.

We've been looking for a Scorpion bowl / scallion pancake house since China Rainbow in Watertown…read moreSquare closed, and I think the search is over. I may miss Tammy and the Mai Tais that could peel paint, but Magnolias delivers across the board. Scallion pancakes were perfectly crispy, and the dipping soy was rich with garlic and ginger. I ordered the Yu Xiang shrimp and asked them to make it spicy... it was perfect, with crisp vegetables in a flavorful sauce and a generous potion of shrimp, no shell. My girlfriend got the pineapple fried rice and while it didn't come in a pineapple, it was a solid meal... and nobody eats the pineapple bowl anyway. But what about the scorpion bowl? It came to the table cold, and while it wasn't as wide a bowl as a lot of places, it was deep, and it did not play. Let's just say you get your moneys worth... not just the rocket fuel, but fresh juices expertly blended with not too much ice. We still had ice in the bottom when we finished, but the shape of the bowl kept the smaller portion of ice colder longer so the ice didn't melt and water it down. Service was prompt and friendly, decor was tasteful and understated, settings were neat and clean. Bartender was hip and friendly. Spectacular. 10/10. We'll be back.

I wanted it to be perfect, and it was.

A little confused, I watched as they appeared to be cleaning up to go home....replacing the trash liners and such. This big guy (I'm being kind) rudely barked at me from 40 feet away "What do you need?!" I said "Are you closing?" He audibly sighed and barked again "What do you need?!!!!" I then looked at the other guy who was shaking his head in apparent disgust at me. Infuriated, I barked back at him and told him to never mind, found my wife, and left the store. We drove 15 minutes up the road to Donalans. I went up to the deli counter and the young woman greeted me with a big smile and a "Hi! What can I get you?" She followed that with a warm "Absolutely!" What a sharp contrast. We usually don't go to Roche brothers anyway because we live closer to Donalans but we happen to be at TJ Maxx next store. Never setting foot in there again. Checking reviews it seems others have also had issues with this big guy at the deli. What a joke.

I visited Verrill Farm for the first time on August 20, 2026…read more Unfortunately, an incident outside the market and the staff's response left me extremely disappointed. At approximately 1:00 p.m., I was outside waiting for my friend while she finished making her purchases. As she walked out of the store, she tripped over a bike rack positioned along the walkway. She fell hard, injuring and bloodying her knee and scraping her hands. She was visibly shaken, and the pie she had just purchased was destroyed in the fall. I went inside to tell an employee what had happened and to ask whether the pie could be replaced. While I was speaking with the employee, my friend came inside, limping. My friend asked whether the employee had heard what had happened. Rather than expressing concern or asking whether she was okay, the employee's reaction struck both of us as surprisingly dismissive. My friend then asked whether she could have some ice for her injured knee. The employee said no and walked away. Because I was surprised by that response, I asked another employee who was stocking muffins whether he could get some ice for my friend because, I explained, she had just fallen and injured herself. He also indicated that he could not. The first employee later returned and explained that there were no more pies available, and my friend was refunded for the pie. What happened next was the strangest part of the experience. As we were leaving, the employee came after us and quietly told my friend that she would get her some ice if she promised not to tell anyone. My friend accepted the ice. I cannot explain why providing ice to an injured customer apparently needed to be done discreetly. What bothered me most was not simply that my friend fell. Accidents happen. It was the response afterward. A customer was bleeding, shaken, and asking for something as basic as ice. I would have expected someone to ask whether she was all right and to offer reasonable assistance. Instead, the response we experienced initially felt defensive and indifferent. The pie was refunded, which I appreciate. But the overall interaction left such a negative impression that I do not intend to return.
