The bartender knew all the local customers coming in, there was a woman in the back hand shaping burger patties. At one point, one of the waitress brought in 3 big bags of tortillas. You can tell this establishment is a small, local business. The food was SO GOOD too. Honestly some of the best nachos I have ever had. They hand fry their own tortillas which meant the chips didn't get soggy. The clam chowder and mac n cheese tasted gourmet. And my partner said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had. Definitely a must go to spot if you are ever in Gloucester.

Then she said they were full so we asked if we could sit at the bar and she said yes it was open seating. We got there right in time because within 5 minutes of us sitting at the bar, all of the bar seats were taken. This place filled up fast. The male bartender you could tell didn't like us from the start. He was short with us and then he would just ignore us sometimes. There was a female bartender who you could tell was fed up with him and was having to pick up the slack. She asked if he took our drink order yet, which he hadn't and she let out a sigh and then took our order and made our drinks. We ended up getting some calamari and sharing the Captain Jack's baked seafood platter. I expected the plate to be a bit larger but everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great.

Little Sister not only has a veggie burger, but it is honestly one of the best ones I have EVER had (and trust me, I've had a lot). Their service is great, and the food comes out nice and quick. There is plenty of seating on a first-come basis, or you can take your burger to go and enjoy the beautiful views, because they wrap it SUPER nicely in a special wrapper that catches all of the sauces and bits that you might lose along the way. I'll be a fan of this place forever! Go check it out!

The food we had was still very good, but we absolutely missed the variety of options. Will we be back?

The tables are closely packed together and the restaurant can get crowded at times. The staff are friendly and were able to give us good recommendations. The fried clams were crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. The smelt were on the larger size so the larger bones were harder to chew on. The pastas came in some of the largest portions that I've ever seen from a restaurant. There were very generous portions of seafood in both of the pasta dishes that we order and I would definitely recommend the seafood marinara and the lobster mac&cheese to anyone who goes. The dishes are great for sharing and I will happily go back the next time I am out there

I remembered how large the plates were last visit! The clam bellies were ver tender, lightly breaded, and not a hint of grease. Definitely the BEST fried clams around!
