Again, another perfect dining experience at Lenny and Joe's…read more I started this visit with a locally crafted birch beer, which was cold and refreshing. This is the perfect compliment to any meal here. My meal consisted of the three fried combo, which consisted of fresh fish, shrimp, and calamari. The sides included were coleslaw and french fries. If you wanted, you could substitute onion rings for the french fries, and sweet potato fries for a couple dollars extra. My dinner arrived quickly with a generous portion of fried fish, fried calamari, and a medium sized fried shrimp. The side of coleslaw was delicious, mayonnaise based, and on a little bit of sweet side was perfectly portioned and complimented the meal. The french fries placed underneath this scrumptious fried triple medley were well seasoned and nice and crunchy, these seem like they just came out out of the fryer later and were very very fresh I loved the fried fish; delicately battered and deep fried separate from the calamari and shrimp as it had a different type of coating on it and it just hit on point. The calamari were the tentacles and the rounds, perfectly deep-fried and seasoned to perfection. They just were so enjoyable as the fried shrimp were delicately well seasoned medium sized and accompanied this dish perfectly. My financial advisor, who I took to dinner had the fish and chips which he totally enjoyed and wants to come back again and get. He also had a birch beer and polished that off like a pro. I really wanted the world famous Rhode Island clam chowder to begin with but seeing I'm getting older I don't think I could've finished the whole meal and the clam chowder. I'll be sure to order this world famous Rhode Island clam chowder. The next time I come because it really is can't miss. Our server was excellent! This nice lady just took care of us like a mama would at the dinner table. She was so accommodating, checked in at the right times nice warm smile, a wonderful server who made our experience just a little better. The restrooms were good, not great, but they were clean enough and it got my by until I get home after the one hour 10 minute drive. In closing, I love this place. It is my go to for seafood when I need something that includes an enjoyable experience.. Lenny Joe's is always consistent with their product. You can't go wrong coming here when you're at the shoreline or make this a destination. Lenny and Joe's is the perfect shoreline experience for dinner. It is casual, and consistent always with their fresh seafood and wonderful service.

Food isn't very tasty…read more This place is great if you have a family and don't care what the food taste like. Lobster roll is bland. $30 for an experience that makes you crave biting into a lemon for flavor. My wife's fish was so dry and flavorless that you would think you are eating a fish sandwich in Arizona. Clam chowder is an insult to New England. It's soupy and not creamy. Only come here if you don't care about spending $$$ for food that genuinely makes you question your life choices. The atmosphere was nice. Service wasn't great but that was understandable given the dinner rush. Owner: i respect that you read feedback and respond. I wanted to love this place but was disappointed. Please include a lemon with your fish dishes. That little of a difference may change a lot of opinions about the food quality here. I'm only writing this because this was my first lobster roll in 2 years and I was heart broken.

Their prices on their beef, whether it's rib eye bone in or not, filet mignon, short rib, skirt steak, and even sandwich steak are so affordable out of even the bigger names stores in the area. Their pork tenderloin is delicious and fresh. We bought shrimp there out of the seafood case and it was the best in the area! Roberts in a rush as they call it for their daily take out is great and convenient and affordable. I can't say I'd do weekly grocery shopping there only because that I do else where but will always go back to Roberts for my meats, lunch meats, and other quick necessities!

For example, they ran out of the Filet Mignon very quickly and still didn't have their inventory replenished by Tuesday! That's 5 days! I call it DECEPTIVE advertising. Same for their "To Go" department that advertised Italian Wedding soup 2 days in a row and apparently never even made the stuff. Do they do this just to get you in the store and buy something you really didn't want?? Again, DECEPTIVE advertising. I guess I just have to call before I go from now on because someone in management is definitely dropping the ball here.

The manager actually told my husband that our potty-training two-year-old daughter needs to WAIT to use the men's bathroom with him because the men's stall was occupied, rather than allowing him to take her into the empty women's restroom with an available stall. I was tending to our five-month-old at the time and unable to take her. Apparently, basic common sense and accommodating a toddler who urgently needs the bathroom were too much to ask. What a ridiculous and unnecessarily difficult way to treat a family. We will absolutely be taking our business somewhere else next time.

The fried cod was some of the best I've ever had. Fish tacos were very good - love the red pepper remoulade it comes with. French fries and fried clam strips are both excellent - though I agree with another reviewer who mentioned that the clams could be a bit crispier. The two times we've gotten them, they needed just a touch more crunch and golden brown color. Still very good and the best around!!! But feels like they would benefit from a bit more time in the fryer. Glad you're back, Clam Castle!!

Just be warned-- before you shell out MP, what you are getting. Pro Tip: whole bellies do NOT have a "neck" like steamers do and this was clear as day a steamer. Clam shack staff confirmed when I held it up to inquire why they are frying steamers that this was, in fact, a steamer. And as a side note, fried steamers are terrible. They did reimburse for two orders however, won't return if this is what the kitchen/owner tries to serve! I guess the "clam" castle has shifted focus to lobster sandwich boats.

My review addresses only the many vegan dishes here, so unless you're vegan you might want to skip…read moremy review. Nellie's is a surprising vegan-friendly restaurant in an equally surprising dockside location. Off the beaten path from downtown Branford, it is easily overlooked amid all the large pleasure and fishing boats both moored in the Branford River and dry-docked on land and in colossal hangers. Given its maritime environment, you'd expect its menu would be heavy with fish and sea animals, yet it also offers many vegan options, in fact more vegan dishes than vegetarian dishes. Don't be dissuaded by its nondescript name more appropriate for a horse, as in "Whoaaaa, Nellie." As evidenced by a streetside old signage, its more decorous former full name was Nellie's Green Restaurant, but somewhere along the way the word "Green" unfortunately got dropped from the name. Fortunately, its many vegan dishes were not dropped from the menu. They speak fluent vegan here. In addition to being marked with "V" for Vegan, the word "Vegan" stands out as the predominant first word in the names of the vegan dishes. That's Vegan 'Crab' Cakes. Vegan Layer Dip. Vegan Ceviche. Vegan Tacos. Vegan 'Crab' Cake Wrap. Vegan Burger. There's also Avocado Toast, Guacamole and Chips, several entrées marked "VO," meaning Vegan Option by omission, and two salads and several side dishes, for instance Blackened Tofu, that all happen to be vegan without making a big show of it. I recommend the Vegan Burger, which is a house-made black bean patty, not pre-fab Beyond Impossibility mock meat. It comes by default with potato fries, but faulting deep-fried food I was able to upgrade my burger with one of the several vegan side dishes, in my case the Grilled Zucchini, which was delectable. My soul-mate soy-mate lunch-mate ordered the Vegan Tacos and a side of Blackened Tofu, and she enjoyed both. The spacious outdoor patio is larger than the ample indoor dining area, is fully sheltered from the blazing sun or dripping rain, and is perched right alongside the river, though during boating season the river is so cluttered with boats that it can hardly be described as picturesque. With the recent closure in nearby Westbrook of our dearly beloved all-vegan Shayna B's by the Sea, we intend to return to experience both Nellie's and the harbor during their quieter seasons.

They served us a generous portion of their famous coleslaw which was very tasty so that was a nice addition. The clams came out and looked really good however the shucker needs to be a bit more careful because most of my clams had shell fragments in it. The taste was good but I had to be careful eating them so I didn't swallow shell pieces and that took away from the enjoyment of the clam experience. Maybe the knife was dull. Not sure what happened here but I ate them anyway just on the side of caution. Would try it again because the taste was nice and fresh
