Excellent seafood and great service. Can't wait to go back again. The place is nothing fancy but is quaint and they take good care of their customers read more

Tried to call and no answer but we figured they might just be busy so we went anyway. Got there and the parking lot was empty. There was one of those generic open signs you see everywhere on the inside of the door, But the place was closed. Then we saw the paper sign in the window that said "SHUTDOWN" and the reason was tax violations read more

What a grand experience for a not so fancy location. As far as portions go this place is very generous. $50 fisherman's platter was HUGE and packed with juicy fried shrimp tons of calamari, clam strips, whole belly clams and scallops. The fried scallops were my least favorite & a bit too cooked (understandable). 2lb+ lobster was HUGE! Truthfully a tough location to survive-- but a 10/10 for freshness!! I hope this MOMs Nothing Fancy sticks around. They've got everything a local seafood lover needs. read more

The customer service was great. We tried to order the captain's platter and whole belly clams but he advised that it's a lot of food and the platter already contained whole clams. I listened. The fish was super thick and we had an issue with it and he replaced it . Coleslaw was good. The onion rings were frozen :( not the string my kind. It's is nothing fancy - paper plates and 20 oz sodas in the fridge. You pay at the counter and they bring the food out. They're patio seating and also more seating in the back parking lot . Would i go back? Absolutely! But I'll order bellow and try the lobster. The surrounding area could be cleaned up . I didn't like parking in the back. read more

For the love of seafood I need "nothing fancy" anywhere to get a good catch is enough for me!!!! Small restaurant that serves extremely fresh seafood, inside and outside seating is available with a super casual environment. Service is a counter order, grab a drink and sit......beach style!! BYOB is a great addition. The food is delicious however something strange happened both orders we had were fried, with fries....they were served freezing cold.....this is extremely unusual they were definitely cooked, quite possibly a bit over fried.....hmmm! Definitely couldn't eat the cold fries. We also noticed another couple sending their food back, we didn't say anything, it was just a quick bite for us....We will try this place again.....looking forward to HOT seafood! read more

Tiny little whole in the wall. Formerly kettle bagel building. Fresh mostly fried seafood. They do have a boiled 2lb. Lobster dinnner with fries and coleslaw for $49.00. Also, the owner reported to have specials of soft shell crab. I had the whole bellies. The batter was light and very tasty. We also ordered the fish tacos. The order came with 3 good size tacos, fries, and small coleslaw. Everything was good. The coleslaw was a bit watery but tasted ok. They do have outdoor seating available. The portions are large. read more

My wife and I went here after reading so much good written about it. We both ordered the daily special which was fried scallops, fries, Cole slaw, chowder and a soft drink. I think it was a good price for we received. The staff was friendly at the counter where we ordered. Our food was delivered promptly with the chowder coming out first. It wasn't really clear what drinks were included but our waitress pointed out the cooler and we picked out our drinks. Our meals were brought over to us along with our plastic ware. When they say nothing fancy, they mean it. The scallops were cut in half, I guess to make it seem like we were getting more. They were lightly fried and tasty. The fries were very thin and crispy. No flavor and reminded us of potato sticks. The Cole slaw was good, served in its little plastic to-go container. The store was clean, inviting and well laid out for the type of "Nothing Fancy" atmosphere it's going for. I'd like to go back and try a non daily special. Maybe my food won't be cut in half in an attempt to make the portion appear larger. read more

Food is amazing, fresh and flavorful. Prices are good and staff are incredibly friendly!

Great service and people but certainly lives up to the name. It's "Nothing Fancy". Well fried seafood but lacks flavor. Plenty of places around here that I would go to instead but I feel like they are some good seasonings away from a great place! Prices were fair, portions were good, get some flavor! read more

Mom's Nothing Fancy - 14.99 fish and chips / clam strip platter .. - Seafood Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

Takes "nothing fancy" to a different level. The service was really good though and everyone was very nice but $60 for 2 people who left still hungry is just insane. read more

Great service on a Monday at lunch time! Got the fried whole bellies and fried shrimp, excellent. Kids got chicken nuggets (one kid got to eat FREE) which were real chicken not pink mash! Grandfather got a burger that was huge! I would come again, great little spot! read more

Great fried seafood at amazing prices. Daily lunch and dinner specials. The Cole slaw is delicious.

Loved it! Small place, you order at the counter and they bring they food to your table. Nothing fancy, plastic forks and stuff. The food was delicious and fresh. They were out of clam strips because they drive every day to RI to get them and I had gone there close to closing time. Fried shrimp were delicious and some of the best clam chowder I've ever had! Owner was nice, he stopped at every table to make sure people were happy. Support small business and give them a try. Only been open a month at time of post. read more

Ordered the captain platter to go was cooked good and it came with clam chowder and a soda . They only thing is the French fries were a bit thin . Others than that very pleasing to taste read more

Mom's Nothing Fancy - Captains platter with clams chowder and soda very good ! - Seafood Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

Great chowder and lobster bisque. Casual dining atmosphere. They specialize in fried seafood. The clams were great as was the fish. I felt the scallops were a bit overcooked and the shrimp was average. I shared the seafood combo with my husband . We had enough good left o er for the mect day. read more

$13.99 for fried scallops lunch. So tasty! The lobster bisque had pieces of lobster and was delicious. Onion rings were also very good. It's a small place and like its name implies "nothing fancy" read more

I ordered the whole belly clam platter for dinner to go on the phone. When I went inside to pick up, the restaurant was decorated really cute so I was very anxious to get home and see what was in my bag! It was absolutely disgusting. The clams were completely overcooked! They actually tasted on the verge of being burnt. The fries were undercooked and soggy. The portion was very small. I am so disappointed I gave them a 20% tip. I just threw away $42+. It was literally inedible. I am sad- I was so looking forward to it.... read more

Mom's Nothing Fancy - $34.95 Whole belly clam platter... - Seafood Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

Great food and nice staff and owner. Can't go wrong. I looked all over for good strip clams after the USS Chowder Pot closed an 2 years later found Mom's Nothing Fancy in the next town over. Lucky me! read more

Hands down better than anything Lenny & Joe's or Bill's have put out in recent years. Delicious, fresh and no unnecessary frills.

Fish n chips and lobster bisque was awesome. The fish was fresh and flaky, fried light. This is not the beer battered type of fried fish, it's on the lighter side. Lobster bisque was very very good. Customer service was on point. The owner was nice and attentive. We will come back for sure. read more

Food was fantastic. Service with a smile. Had full belly clams and wife had fish dinner. Ambiance was very well done. We will coming back again and again. Only problem is finding the place . Front sign was not easy to see. read more

Reasonably priced seafood, nice portions. I enjoyed the whole belly clams. Friendly service.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Chowder was good, clam strips good, the fried scallops were also good but all average. Plastic fork/knife. Didn't make me want to look forward to going again. Service was very good! read more

Another great place to share with everyone thanks to Facebook recommendations...I've been dying for some clams and there are such few places around that do real strips...WELL let me tell you if you haven't been to Mom's Nothing Fancy Seafood place YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!! First I will say the nothing fancy in the title is just that so if your looking for a 5 stars Michelin Atmosphere this isn't your place, BUT if your looking for a great mom & pop where everyone knows your name this is the place. I got the clam strips my husband the scallops, both portions were perfect. Everything was cooked very well. The tater sauce was spot on I'm a stickler for good tater sauce, the coleslaw is also very good. The owner Mike came out talked with people, checked in with people coming in to explain how things worked, while eating if everything was ok or did you need anything & very appreciative when leaving. I hope they are around for a long time to come because this area is in need of a good mom & pop seafood place. read more

I'm not a fried food person so this is why I ordered broiled scallops and broiled cod for my husband. The first thing to happen was the person who packed my order did a poor job. When I went to lift it out of the car, the bag broke at the bottom and now my car smells left like fish. Food quality, poor. My scallops were rubbery and over cooked. Were they even fresh? My husband's cod bland and tasteless. I'm gonna take a guess and say their specialty is fried fish. Not my cup of tea but to me each his own. Needless to say, I will not be returning anytime soon. read more

As always, the fried clams were delicious and the owner was so kind. We brought our son and he raved about the lobster bisque. We will definitely be back! Doreen read more

Food was top notch!! wife and I went for lunch, and will probably be going back for dinner! Awesome. Glad we don't have to drive all the way to Niantic to get great seafood, can stay right here in Southington . Clam strips much better than Skippers or Dad's, and Cod fish was perfect read more

Decided to try the new spot as I had heard it was worth the time. Also heard the clam chowder was delicious. Hmmm. Not so true. It would be best called potato chowder with a few clams. Moms nothing fancy is also nothing special...so far anyway. I will try a platter at some point just to give the benefit of the doubt this was an isolated incident. And of course if it seems a worthy dish...we'll see. read more

Food was ok not great. We love good seafood, this didn't cut it. Cafeteria style, lots of congestion at the register. A little "not too fancy'" for me. read more

I went there today for the first time with 2 of my other friends to try it out. We had the worst meals, I had the whole belly clams which was there were only 9 small clam and one large clam. Cost 27.99 and came with french fries which were very cold, VERY DISAPOINTED with the whole meal and was a waste of money. My friends had the fried scallops which contained 6 very small scallops and cold fries. I would not recommend that place at all. Very disapointed read more

Pretty good fresh seafood for the price, but unfortunately the TV in the tiny dining room was set on Fox News with no way to avoid the TV so it ruined the experience for us. We won't be going back. read more
