This is what they now serve for chicken fingers. 
 Hard and chewy.

Chewy and stringy chicken finger, chewy chicken in the General Tso's. I purchased on a Tuesday, They are closed Monday, so this was leftovers? The fingers were not freshly made, hard as ****! Are all appetizers pre-made now/ store bought Been eating here since about 1994 when the older guy with the sense of humor was there. Then a Husband and wife took over and the kids ran the register and took orders, the food was outstanding. They had a rice cooker with the fresh rice on the counter, Seems the kids now cook and were too busy taking the orders to learn food quality. They won't be in business much longer serving this swill! Was once a decent place.

If I could give it no stars then I would. First time I ordered, food was great! This is the second time and I'm so disgusted. Ordered the same thing as the first time; shrimp broccoli and white rice. Only to get fake broccoli and artificial shrimp. What broccoli have you ever had with a white center? Specially not one that looked stuffed like candy. White rice tastes like plastic. I cannot believe this place is still a running business. Shrimp didn't even taste like shrimp. Do not let the color fool you.

Recently I was craving seafood BIG TIME. As a native Mainer who has lived in the area now for over…read more15 years, it can be tough to find places that serve "traditional" lobster dinners. (Typically consist of steamers, lobster, a baked potato and some corn on the cob if you're lucky). My husband found Turner's while doing a search for a place that would come close to giving me what I was looking for, and they delivered! We started off with the steamers. They're to die for... so tender, no sand in the bellies, and the broth? OOH the broth. It's delectable. It adds flavor that complements the clams perfectly (doesn't overwhelm them at all). My hard shell lobster was incredibly delicious. I'm usually a soft shell gal, but I will take whatever is offered - as long as the meat isn't tough, I'm fine to do the extra work. (It's part of the fun). The tail was split, which is helpful for people who don't know their way around a lobster- for me, I'd prefer it whole, so that's the only (extremely small!) thing I'd change next time. My baked potato and carrots were tasty and the waitress was attentive, kind, and she also had a sense of humor. My husband and I had an awesome evening, and we will be back!

This is one of the most famous places in downtown Melrose. It's always packed, as it's the only…read more"white tablecloth" restaurant nearby. The food however is just OK. It's your basic Italian seafood place. There is a singular type of clientele inside, which tells you how your experience will go. We got tuna "tacos" (more like crudo) as appetizers. This was the best part of the night. The tuna was delicious. For our mains, I got the New England Bouillabaisse and my friend got a fish dish. The food was on the salty side, it's great to have this down the road instead of having to go down to north end. We ended the night with the flourless cake. Our server was very friendly! But the food was just ok. Drive a little farther and get some Mexico Lindo instead.

Tl;dr good service, flavor, and quality at a reasonable price…read more Came here for dinner for 3 on a Tuesday night. No wait when we got there but surprisingly pretty busy with multiple large parties. Sits in a large strip mall so there's plenty of parking and is easy to get to. Was our first time here and Sarah was very patient explaining everything to us and was great in general. We ordered the 3lb combo seafood combo which comes with two sides. Seafood orders can be ordered by 1/2 pounds which let us choose everything we wanted to try: head on shrimp, head off shrimp, calamari, scallops, and snow crab which was all super fresh. In general. we got the capt loui sauce at medium spicy. taste was great but A LOT of butter. Medium spice didn't have much of a kick. But even the two sides were great. Fries were super crispy. Try dipping both of them in the capt loui sauce! The 3lbs combo was just enough food for the three of us. Overall, had a great dinner. would definitely come back again!

If you're craving seafood, this is a great place to visit. Even if you live a little farther away,…read morethe drive is definitely worth it. We arrived around 6:30 PM and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. Our waiter mentioned that wait times are typically longer during the summer months. The good news is that there are several shops nearby, so you can easily spend the time browsing while you wait. The service was excellent--our waiter was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. While the food is a bit pricey, the quality and flavor make it well worth it. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be back again.

Loved my new Revere Beach dining experience. I've been coming to the beach since I was in a…read morestroller. Dryft was an upscale experience from the usual stands and restaurants that historically been part of the Revere Beach dining experience since mid-century and further back. Dryft is easy to get to from the beach side and the subway. We ate on the outdoor deck. The restaurant is above street level for an ocean view. What a great way to enjoy a summer afternoon. Our service was great, professional not overly friendly. I liked the atmosphere, casual but a bit upscale for Revere Beach. The food was delicious. I tried the clam chowder, and ordered the mushroom gnocchi. Which both delicious. They have a full bar and they offer high tops, regular chairs and indoor & outdoor seating. The menu has a Lunch price until 3 and a dinner price. I'll be back.

Came here to meet a friend, and wanted a table overlooking the ocean. There are about a dozen…read moretables outside, and 3 were taken but the majority were open. I came in at about 8:45 when they close at 10, and I was told they could not seat me outside because the kitchen was closing. I said if I order oysters or something that doesn't require the grill, can I be seated outside? They said they would ask the kitchen. The host came back and said sure, that would be fine. Then brought me through the dining room to a table. I asked again if I could be seated outside because I am eating, she said no, even though there were about 8 or 9 tables available outside. So I asked to be seated at the table by the window closest to the ocean, which you couldn't see out of based on the reflections of the lights. I likely would have chosen another place if I knew it would be so difficult to get a table outside even when they are available. So I ordered a dozen oysters, half blondes from Blue Hill Bay Maine, half were from Little Pilgrim, Mass.; they were delicious and fresh. I looked them up afterwards and I'm not sure they gave me the right names, but they do look close and at least they had a relative idea of where they were from. I also ordered the shrimp ceviche with plantains, it was good with a decent amount of shrimp but I felt like there could be more, and the plantain chips took up the majority of the dish to make it look bigger. It's a great idea & taste, but could be executed much better. I tried their Dragon's Kiss for a drink which I liked. I forgot our servers name, she was nice but I did feel like she had wanted me to order more for a bigger tip. Tip: give great service and you don't have to upsell to get a bigger tip. It was $120 for 2 drinks, a dozen oysters, and a shrimp ceviche appetizer. dragons kiss 8.5/10 oysters: blue hill bay blonde, me (?) 10/10 little pilgrim, ma (?) 9/10 shrimp ceviche 7/10 Overall it's a beautiful new-ish (3 years) restaurant overlooking Revere Beach, if you can convince them to give you a table outside. Food is good, not great but I'd need to try them again to give a better opinion. Service is just okay, I didn't like the bait and switch of the tables, or that I just came for a few oysters and a couple drinks and it was $120. ambiance: 4/5 food: 4/5 drinks: 4/5 service: 2.5/5 Dryft: 2.6/5 *docked a point for the table situation. there was no reason why we couldn't have a table outside, especially when I told them I would order raw options to make it easier for the kitchen. there were other people outside.
