    Prices of the current market late July 2024.
    Jonathan L.

    Ordered a large mountain of a fountain dew, refills for a nominal fee. Only ordered large side of market price whole Belly clams. Portion did not wow me but was acceptable. Bellies are fresh, but on the small side for a connosuier like myself. Tartar is homemade. A bit tart, seems like its cucumber and greek yogurt but i could be way off. A solid contribution to the area as a roadside seafood shack!

    1/4 lb hamburger,  fries, large soft drink.

    In my season-long quest for outdoor roadside eateries, today I landed at Dave's Place. Delicious 1/4 lb hamburger and fries served with a large soft drink for $13 and some change. Good portions, friendly service, good price. I definitely recommend!

    Hot Sausage with onions, hot relish, and ketchup. Along with Kelbasa patty

    For a road-side food stand, they are functional food in a location with very little in terms of options. You either get the dino park or you get the road stand, and both are not the best options. Given a choice between the two? The food stand is better. Cheaper overall and better quality. I appreciate that they grill their hot dog buns, and everything was cooked to order. Most of their menu is fried foods, which does kind of limit your diet options. But it's a food stand, health conscious foods are not this locations forte. The hot sausage had a little spice, but not a lot. The kelbasa was decent, but very fatty. price was okay, little high for a stand but not too crazy to be overwhelming. If you're coming off fresh from the dino park and you need a cheaper bite of food for you and the kiddies, this place will serve that function. Not good enough to make the trek to, but technically the best option for the area without spending a ton of money on chicken nuggets and french fries.

    The ice cream cone was the the best part. The food came out fairly quickly and the fries and burger were fresh, we ordered a hot lobster roll but it came out like room temperature which was a little ehhh but my husband still ate it. They don't have kids menus, and service could have been better not on the young cashiers end but from the older blonde woman who it appeared was supposed to be helping her. We had a cheese burger, fries, lobster roll and a small ice cream cone (no drinks or water) for $40 and some change, Definitely felt like I could've have something way better somewhere else for that price. But if you're starving and need to pull over to grab something quick this is the spot.

    The crab cakes were not good, OK at best. The fries are not worth 6 dollars. i could go home right now, Make crab cakes, shit them out and eat it again and it would taste 45 times better then these crabs cakes. The lady working the front was rude and very short with us. the inside is HOT i was sweating my balls off well i was eating. 0 out of 10 would not come back.

    Outside dining only plenty of picnic benches

    Good food & Best prices around the area . Located near The Dinosaur Place with plenty of outside picnic tables with umbrellas and soon to reopen at a later date inside dining The employees are really friendly and the ordering process is simple . Two windows outside for ordering the other to pickup. You cap your own drinks if you choose a fountain drink (new rules) which some will appreciate. They sell hotdogs,hamburgers(looks amazing btw) claims strips , gyros ,curly fries ,onion rings and more ! A pretty good menu and family friendly pricing. We ordered a hotdog(not the best looks boiled) you can add toppings we just had ketchup on it. Curly fries were nicely cooked and a decent size for a small order . Onion rings were thin and absolutely delicious like they battered before you got them I am sure . A turkey grinder with over the top lettuce so you may have to ask them to add less (pictured) otherwise was a good sandwich . Lastly , two orders of clam strip rolls . They were good . I would definitely order that again I can't wait to come back to the area to try more items .

The staff was super friendly and did everything they could to make our experience memorable. The brunch menu offers a nice assortment of options as we had one member in our party who had some eating restrictions. We started off with both raw and roasted oysters, both of which, we some of the best we have ever had. I love Shashuka. I've never had it with tomatillos. This version is now my favorite. I enjoyed the play between savory and acid. I chose my eggs to be prepared over easy expecting the yolks to add the desired richness that tomatillos can handle without overpowering their bite. What set this version apart for me was the addition of the pickled vegetables. They greatly complimented the tomatillos with their own sweetness and acidity that made for a well balanced bite. Others in our party felt similarly, that their meals were so flavorful and so well execucted that it made for a superb dining experience.

I really liked the ambiance of the space, it's quite comfortable and has a nautical aesthetic. We were sat in a cozy little corner by the window, a great spot for watching the bustling of the little seaside town. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of the restaurant's offerings, noting in their introduction that the focus of the menu is on fresh local seafood, and that everything on the menu is freshly made in house. I was very eager to try a cup of the clam chowder for an appetizer since many other reviewers have said that it's some of the best they've ever tasted, and after trying it for myself I'm more than inclined to agree with them; it had a perfect consistency and excellent flavor. Boyfriend wanted the fried mozzarella so we got some of that, and that was pretty tasty as well. Boyfriend got the chicken parm sandwich for his meal and I got the fish and chips. I didn't end up trying the sandwich, but he said he liked it. My fish and chips plate was pretty good; the fish tasted just a tad under seasoned to me, however the flavorful tartar sauce helped with that and I could tell the fish itself was great quality. The hand cut fries were good, but I wasn't really a fan of the coleslaw. Overall we had a pleasant experience at The Mariner. A very good choice for fresh seafood and a relaxed vibe. I'm sure I'll be in town again at some point; if I come back to The Mariner, I'll make a point to get a bowl of the clam chowder instead of a cup, because that alone is absolutely worth returning for... but until then, I'll be dreaming about it.
