    Fried clam strips
    Jeanna G.

    After off roading yesterday we stopped in here at the Patio Drive In for a bite to eat. My boyfriend and his friend have come here before and kept telling us about how good the chicken fingers were here so we decided to come check it out. Cute little mom and pop place serving up some pretty good mexican meals along with other american staples. We ordered up some fried clam strips with homemade tartar sauce that were pretty good and the empanada appetizer. The fried clam strips had a nice crunchy exterior with a chewy clam belly in the middle. The empanadas were nice and refreshing with some salad and sour creme. The chicken fingers lived up to their expectations and everyone was pleased. I love that they serve kens honey mustard dressing with them.There truly is no better combination. Next time we stop in I am going to have to try out one of their blueberry sundaes. They looked amazing but i was so full.

    First time here

    First time there and did not like the food at all. Very blend. On the pictures they had guacamole with supreme nachos. Seems like they didnt offer that and wanted us to pay extra if we wanted guac.

I also couldn't find a single piece of clam in my chowder. It was awful. My husband ate his because he was hungry but said it was not Manhattan Chowder. The waitress did take my chowder off the bill. We had broiled Scallops for dinner and the were delicious.

Service was slow but we weren't in any rush. They had a few larger tables. I had a cup of snapper turtle soup. It was pretty good. Not too many places carry it anymore. I also had the softshell crab sandwich that was one of the lunch specials. The crab was delicious. So fresh. The breading was light and crispy. Not greasy at all. My only complaint was the roll. It was not good at all. Kind of tough and too thick for the crab. It didn't do the crab justice. The house made chips were good. The coleslaw flavor is good. It's just super chopped into tiny pieces so the texture wasn't for my liking. I can't explain it. I did try a bite of the salmon croquettes appetizer. They were pretty good but the toppings were too much. They were swimming in balsamic vinegar. There was another sauce on top of them. The crab cake sandwich was good. That was served on a potato roll. It was all crab and not much filler. I would get that next time!

    We visited Mott's Creek Restaurant as a group. Since I had never been there before, I wasn't sure…read morewhat to expect. Initially, things seemed promising as everyone placed their orders and most of the group received their meals fairly quickly. Unfortunately, another family member and I, who had both ordered the same entrée, were left waiting. Approximately 20 minutes later, when the rest of our party was nearly finished eating, our server informed us that the restaurant was out of tuna and that we would need to choose something else. It was very disappointing that it took so long for us to be notified. I ultimately ordered the mahi tacos, but they lacked flavor and were quite underwhelming. I attempted to ask for Tabasco sauce, but our server did not return to our table for quite some time to check on us. When she finally came back, I ordered another Tito's and soda and asked if it could be made as a double because my first drink tasted mostly like club soda. She informed me that the drink I had already been consuming was a double, which was surprising given the taste. At that point, I switched to water. Several others in our group were also disappointed with their meals and did not enjoy their selections. Between the long delay, poor communication, inattentive service, and disappointing food, the overall experience fell well short of expectations. Unfortunately, I do not plan to return.

    My family recently celebrated a birthday with a party of approximately 40 guests, and it was our…read morefirst time dining there. From start to finish, the experience was wonderful. Our waitstaff, Ben and Brittany, were phenomenal. They were attentive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I have a special dietary restriction, and they were kind enough to prepare a separate plate for me instead of having me choose from the main buffet. We also arrived a little early to put up some small decorations, and Ben was incredibly helpful in getting everything set up. The views were beautiful, and the food was delicious. Inside, there appear to be separate rooms available for private parties as well as regular dining, which makes it a cozy and versatile place for celebrations and larger events. My entire family was very pleased with how everything turned out. Another bonus is the location--it's situated in a charming little town with shops within walking distance, making it a great place to explore before or after your meal. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely consider returning for another special occasion!

    First time here, and I was expecting better based on the reviews. Entrance, tables, chairs, and…read moreambiance were as I expected. Ordered New England Clam Chowder. Served quickly and hot in a big, wide bowl. It looked good. Had small, irregularly sized potatoes and chopped carrots. The broth was a little thicker than I imagined or had tasted before in other restaurants, or in the one I make. Clams were tiny and, as you'd expect from a can. Not fresh clams. In fact, you can put all the clams found in chowder in a single tablespoon. Even found a whole bay leaf in it, which should have been removed before serving it. So, how is the chowder? I've had better from canned chowder, and the one I make is way better. Zero stars for the chowder. Next up is the Turkey platter with sliced turkey (hard and dry), 1 ice cream scoop of mashed potatoes (ok, nothing special), 1 ice cream scoop of stuffing (totally disgusting, and had corn in it), string beans (with vine still attached), gravy (terrible), and a little cup of cranberries (decent). Total fail. The waitress was ok, though stopping by every 5 minutes to ask if everything was good was quite annoying. The 'ice water gentleman' was great. You never asked for water, and when the glass was 1/2 empty, he was there refilling it. Great job! The final score of 2 stars is for the historic inn's ambiance and layout. We won't be back, and do not recommend.
