Ordered the clam cakes and clam chowder and it was very well made and tasty. Onion rings were cooked very well. Whole Clams were nice. My daughter had the shrimp and clam strips and really enjoyed her meal. Staff were friendly! I would go again. read more

So I will be trying you again maybe I can get a free product for when my ice cream was wrong

Stopped by for a bowl of chowder while in area. Was fantastic and for sure will swing this way again. Window service was quick and courteous read more

Pirate's Cove - Clam chowder - Seafood Near Me - Linwood, Massachusetts

We love pirates cove, they're within walking distance so we are pretty regular there! Although the food is good, the portion sizes are pretty small for the price. They also seem to have gotten rid of a lot of ice cream flavors? I've always gotten good service, staff is always friendly, love their online ordering system too. Tons of places to sit down and enjoy your ice cream which is nice! read more

Look - finding good food, fair prices, and consistent quality/service is like finding a unicorn these days. However, Pirate's Cove delivers each and every time we go. I'm not into seafood (blasphemy, I know). But their buffalo chicken sandwich rivals the "buffalo chicken places" I have visited. ALWAYS delicious. Not chewy. Quality. Great flavor. Excellent price. Oh, and HUGE. It's a very hearty sandwich and I love it. Wish someone would drop one off on my desk right now. Their tenders, burgers, fries (add the cheese! Add the cheese!) are delicious. I'm pretty sure my husband has had their hot dogs, too, and liked them. I mean, we like it all. I need to try their tacos! HUGE variety. My mom (a seafood fan) has been very happy with their fish & chips. I really enjoy sitting outside - they offer great seating - clean, covered with lovely umbrellas, picnic tables in the shade. They really do go the extra mile to make it a comfortable spot to stay and dine, or you can take your food to go and... go. But if you go, you miss out on the music that I also love. So thanks for that, Pirate's Cove! Cans of soda ... allow me to say how grateful I am that they carry diet Root Beer. Another unicorn, and they have it. LOVE that. Grape Fanta makes my kids' hearts sing as well. Variety is lovely. Thank you. Their only flaw? They aren't open year round. Haha! Obv not conducive to a year round operation so it's not their fault, but that craving that comes in the winter time... it makes me almost want to cry when I drive by in the off season. Nothing is quite like it around here and I'm grateful for their existence and hard work. It's really obvious this place puts the effort in year after year and it's appreciated. read more

Some of the best food I've ever had. Fish was fresh and so was the salads and ice creams. The service is wonderful, allowing teens to work there! Beautiful spot with lovely picnic tables. read more

I absolutely love their food I haven't had a bad meal there. Service is always so nice and some days quick but they do a great job. And the entire environment is nice upgraded. read more

We were taking a back route around the Worcester area and stumbled upon this ice cream and food shack. I'm not sure how close to Worcester but it was relatively nearby. I loved the mural with the chef chasing the food items and the pirate themed art was pretty cool. They had a huge list of soft serve ice cream flavors along with a nice list of hard flavors. You can also order items like fried clams and hamburgers. We went with the banana soft serve and the blueberry soft serve. One scoop in a cup and you got a lot of ice cream! The blueberry was amazing. I've recommended it to several friends. Yum. The banana was okay - it had that fake banana taste which really was noticeable when compared to the blueberry. Nice flavor but not awesome like the blueberry. I'm sure we'd stop in again if in the area, pretty cool find. read more

I'm actually gluten intolerant and can't rate their food but, the ice cream is delicious! Other people seem to enjoy their hamburger and hot dogs. Fish and chips are a must on Fridays I hear!! read more

Food was good, service was window service. The staff I dealt with were very nice. Was too chilly to hang out and eat so I took our meals to go. Fish and chips with onion rings were tasty, good portion. Cooked properly. Double hot dog combo with cheese sauce was also good. Grilled rolls, grilled dogs. Fries were crisp. read more

I don't come here much because they always seem to get my food wrong. Our burgers were pink inside and we asked for well done. The girls taking the order were nice enough, but it took forever and to not even have our burgers cooked all the way through. I asked for a single onion ring and got a bunch plus thickly chopped raw onions all under the burger. So that was an unpleasant surprise. Oh, wouldn't recommend the smoothies either. I asked and they don't use actual ingredients or real bananas, just a pre-boxed mix in a blender. Nice variety of regular and soft serve ice cream can be ordered at a separate window to the left of the food order window. read more

As a local I've been coming here for 20 years. I'm totally disappointed the past two times I went. I got the fish sandwich both times and it is $8.99 now and it had two little pieces of fish on it about half size portion of what is usually on there. Also, not having a separate line for ice cream makes people wait way too long to get food. You've lost my business now. I used to come 2 to 3 times a week. read more

Excellent seafood I try to go there whenever I go back home for a visit. The worst part about it is it's a seasonal restaurant. So if I visit in the winter I can't go there. read more

I've never tried the food but the ice cream is good, as is the service. Nice place to take the kids for a cone with some seating in the shade. read more

I love this place. I live in California and have family in Uxbridge. Every time I go there for a visit, I make sure we go to Pirate's Cove at least a couple of times for their clam chowder and other goodies. I'm always disappointed when I'm in town and they are closed for the season. Already looking forward to my next bowl of chowder this summer. I get what other folks are saying about nicer and fancier restaurants in town, but I love walking to this simple place in the middle of a parking lot and getting a good bowl of clam chowder for a reasonable price. We usually order several items including the very yummy clam cakes and take them home for lunch. read more

Foods amazing and they use a device so they don't scream "NUMBER 5" and give everyone a headache. Workers are also really nice.

I'm going to be back and review some other items. This review is just based on the foot long chili cheese dog. I would give it a B-. Not bad. But for $4 I expected a bit more chili and cheese. I probably could have eaten 3 of these. But then I'm $12 deep and could have gotten a lot more food for that money. read more

No actual pirates. Solid ice cream. Ok food could edge into good. Could use a good scrubbing. Service is decent, there's better ice cream and food in town, but if you like standing in a parking lot next to some creatures it's fine. read more

It would be a better eatery if the either filtered there cooking oil or replaced more often our fried clams were murdered

I have only been to Pirate's Cove a handful of times and I've lived in whitinsville for almost my entire life. Recently, I've been craving hot dogs like wild and vaguely remember getting them here a year or two ago and being blown away by quality. This time around, I ended up getting a #4 combo which includes two footlong hotdogs, fries and a can of soda for around $7.50. Not bad for the price! I ordered the dogs with mustard and ketchup but I do have to say they put way too much on. So much, to the point where I was scraping it out of the bun and off the dogs. The hot dogs were grilled but they didn't have the snap casings (I'm a snappy casing kinda girl). The girls working at the counter and behind the scenes are doing a great job holding it all together through this crazy time. They were very nice and personable. I do have to say, I'd come back next time for their ice cream. I NEVER knew they sold Gifford's ice cream! That's some premium ice cream I see myself consuming in the near future, for sure! read more

The food is amazing and the girls at the counter are always super cheerful and sweet. Love the outdoor seating and the fried pickles! They also have amazing ice cream - apple pie ice cream is their new special flavor for fall and it is to die for! read more

Pirate's Cove - Chili Cheese Fries, fried pickles, and 2 fish and chips with onion rings - Seafood Near Me - Linwood, Massachusetts

The most ice cream varieties. I prefer soft serve so it's rare to find more options than vanilla and chocolate in that type of ice cream, but here has it. Lol, they need to hire new help because I'm here with my daughter and they weren't good at getting it right. First, I had ordered it for here and the girl wrote it as a to-go so they handed it to me all packed up; I had to ask them to tray it. I asked for a burger with bbq sauce only and I got a burger with ketchup, mustard, bbq. We ordered mint ice cream with strawberry sauce; I got strawberry ice cream. read more

Found out about this place from friends about 4 years ago . I used to live in Hopedale and would drive right past George's in Mendon to get to Pirates Cove .. food is always spot on . Great selection and always fresh . Never had a bad visit . My fave Is the fish and chip plate . I by chance moved to Whitinsville last year and guess what I'm literally a few doors down from the place . It's great in a way , but bad because now I go to here 3 to 4 times a week lol . 4 stars because prices could be a tad lower and also this is me being selfish but they should be open more into the late fall .. or even year round read more

Chicken Tenders were very good, as well as the fried pickles and hot dogs. They even grill the bun. I had a large chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles, and whipped cream (in a cup) read more

Starting off, the girls behind the counter seemed unconvinced by us. Regardless, we were looking forward to our food. Burger and fries were okay, nothing to write home about. Sitting outside was nice, but they have a lot of flies. Obviously sitting outside you expected one or two, but there was a lot. We'll probably keep going to George's in the future, cheaper and better food. read more

I had the fish n chips last evening. So disappointed. Have you ever tasted fish sticks? This is what the fish tasted like. A piece of battered , frozen fish that was chewy not flaky, didn't even taste like haddock. They advertised fresh fish. Nope, not this piece. The onions rings were delicious but, the grease left my mouth with a greasy after taste. The fries were so so but also left that greasy ring around my mouth. Ever in the search for the perfect fish n chips, this place definetly is not it. I won't be back. read more

Hands down best seafood around the area. It is always fresh and crispy every time I go. I also enjoy their grill items, they're delicious and affordable. There is a hot dog combo meal that comes with fries and a drink for under $7! They also have a foot long hotdog option, a cheeseburger meal, chicken finger meal, buffalo chicken sandwich meal, and a fish sandwich meal. I love to go there on a nice warm day and sit outside and enjoy my food at their picnic tables and ice cream for dessert is the perfect treat. On days when the weather isn't as nice I call in and order my food and it's always ready by the time I get there. The ladies up front are always smiling and pleasant and help make the experience overall delightful. Would recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a good lunch or dinner around the Northbridge area. read more

If you're looking for something healthy, I suggest you go somewhere else. If you're looking for some good roadside eats, this is the place for you. This seemed to be the place the locals go, evidenced by the steady flow of customers. Stopped here with my little one for an early dinner. We ordered up a number 4, 2 foot longs, fries and a soda along with a 1/4 pound hamburger for just over ten bucks. Had no problem waiting the five minutes to prepare our meal. When our number was called, we wee presented with some freshly made, hot and delicious food. Hot dog buns were lightly toasted adding to my delight. Plenty of food for the both of us without over doing it. Little Miss Thing even had room for a Ninja Turtle Ice Plenty of outdoor seating, though some of it is right at the roadside. read more

Best seafood, clam cakes and chowder around. They put out some great meals for such a small building. Fast service and great help.

I'm sorry but the meal I got from this establishment was terrible or at least part of it was terrible. I got a Combination Plate of Fried Clams and Sea Scallops. The fried clams and accompanying fries and onion rings were pretty good. The scallops tasted as if they were dipped in ammonia before they were fried. That's ammonia as in they were way too old to be served to a paying customer. At $21.99 they do not give the food away and I believe that the seafood should have at least a modicum of freshness to it. As I said the fried whole clams were good but watch out with the scallops and make sure you ask for whole ones and not the pieces that I received. read more

I was anxiously awaiting the opening this year. The seafood at Pirate's Cove was always excellent. I ordered a haddock/scallop combo for $21. When I got home and opened up the bag, I saw that they forgot my cole slaw. That was disappointing, I really like their cole slaw. Worse, though, I was surprised to see that the portions are very small this year. It was delicious, but not enough for the money. I will be getting my fish on Fridays elsewhere now. read more

We called our order in ahead of time. Our order was not ready when we arrived. Had to wait longer than expected. Charged us the wrong amount for the food. Very sloppy customer service. While still waiting for our food we asked for our Money back to go elsewhere. Owner told us no he would not give us our money back. So we left with out our order and they would not refund our money. Very poor customer service. read more

This place is great.. I wish they were open all year: I love the chili and cheese hotdogs. It is a fun place in the ice cream is good too read more

Had signs up order here and pick up here. This is a change from the old ordering system and I asked the girls at the counter specifically if this had changed. After waiting ten minutes in the order here line I watched several groups of people walk up to the pick up here line and order their food. When I asked about it they said "oh" with a dumb look and an attitude. read more

I'm obsessed with burgers. Ordered a cheeseburger with fries the other day (a very healthy lunch, I know), and it was solid. Reminded me of one of the burger stands from the town I grew up in in the Bay Area (CA). Nothing fancy here, just the picnic benches and all the locals gathering for some comfort fast food and ice cream. Love it. read more

Great fish, awesome chicken tenders and their wide selection of soft serve flavors are great. It does get busy so expect to wait a bit for your food, especially on weekends. read more

A cute little summer eatery. Lots of fried food, and great place to get an ice cream. Plenty of traditional Hersey hard serve flavors, and lots of traditional, and funky (like tutti frutti) soft serve flavors. I tried the brownie sundae, and it was delicious! The brownie was huge, fudgey, soft, and tasted homemade! I had the chocolate peanut butter ice cream ontop, which was great too. Kind of in the middle of nowhere, but if driving by, worth a stop. The prices are very reasonable. read more

Pirate's Cove - Brownie Sundae - Seafood Near Me - Linwood, Massachusetts

This was a horrible experience and does not even deserve one star. STAY FAR AWAY! My family picked up take out, 2 whole clam plates at the 19.95 each, 1 large onion rings for 6.99, and one Fish and chips for 10.99. The total was 60.44. The clams were not fully cooked. The fish and chips was only one fillet. The food was tasteless. The batter to fry it was not seasoned. You could get so much more for 60 dollars at any seafood establishment. We called the place to explain the small quantity, food not being cooked, and the outrageous price. The girl that picked up said there was nothing she could do about it. We asked for the manager and he/she did not have any desire to deal with the issue. The girl responded by saying the price is high due to the cost of clams. Doubtful she was aware of the price or ensure customers are properly known of the market price. She did not care that the food was not good and not cooked. She gave attitude to us immediately when called. We barely ate the food it, was that bad. Stay far away from this joint. Service is awful and food is horrible. I cannot say how the rest of the menu tastes, but the seafood was awful, highly priced, and of low quantity. Employees don't care and management can't deal with basic customer/restaurant needs. read more

I think it's fair to update my review - I finally tried their fish and chips last summer. The fish was definitely fresh, but I still prefer other places in the area. The customer service is definitely still lacking, as the workers barely look you in the eye and don't care much about not being able to make/serve you certain things (which seems to happen almost every visit). Although they have upgraded the quality of their hard serve, with only three visits there last summer there was still SOMEthing out (a flavor or a menu item) that one of the members of our party wanted. Also, the owner has asked me to take down my review, but I think it's fair instead to update the review. I think any business owner that sends any writer of a poor/mediocre review a lengthy email purporting their food as the best in the area and then making excuses for not being able to provide excellent customer service is never going to make positive changes to their business, sadly. But I do thank you, Eric, for reminding me to update my review. read more
