The prices are really high for a takeout window (no parking and no overhead), even at the shore. You also get a monster baked potato and a not very fresh sesame roll. Service is very friendly and helpful. However, it's frustrating they charge 3.5% if you use a credit card on top of such high prices. That's a bit more than a pass-through.

Best crab cakes hands down!! We ordered takeout from back bay seafood (because thats how you do it…read morehere) & all of us enjoyed the crab cake dinner. It includes two HUGE deliscious crab cakes full of actual crab. We enjoyed an order fried and an order broiled -- both were great, all about preference! We all got (lots) fries with our crab cakes and they were perfectly crispy (even after our ten min drive home). These are probably the best crab cakes we've ever had & we enjoy crab cakes at most seafood restaurants we eat at! We called in for takeout and scheduled a time for pick up. We arrived 5 min early, gave our name & our food was ready. They were super quick to serve us & the staff was extremely friendly and efficient. Great food, staff, atmosphere & restaurant overall!

I got the shrimp wrapped in bacon with a cream cheese sauce. Melt in your mouth goodness. My wife got a pulled pork sandwich with Carolina style sweet sauce and slaw. Amazingly tasty. I got the gourmet burger with pepper jack cheese. Yummy. Great meal and great staff. Cool vibes throughout the place. We really enjoyed our meal on a perfect day dodging rain drops outside shopping. Made the rainy blues just go away.

She forgot to tell us about the specials, but other than that, she was great. We started with cocktails and some little neck steamers, which were amazing and the vegetable egg rolls which were delicious. Highly recommend both of those appetizers. For entrées, we had the cappellini and crab pasta. I can't emphasize how good this was. Also a huge portion so my wife had it for lunch again the next day. I had the bacon wrapped scallops, which were very good. It's a smaller portion (3), so maybe normally an appetizer, but it was plenty for dinner for me.

As locals, we completely understand how busy Labor Day weekend can be. I called Saturday at 3 p.m…read more hoping to pick up an order around 6 p.m. The person answering was extremely rude, saying, "I don't know who you think you called, but it's Labor Day weekend and we're very busy." When I asked what time would work, he sarcastically asked if I had "a family of 30 that needs fed." I explained I only wanted four lobster tails, and he said the earliest was 8:40. The wait wasn't the issue--we understand busy holiday weekends. The unnecessary sarcasm and disrespect were. A polite explanation would have been completely understandable. Very disappointing way to treat a local customer. Clearly their food is delicious. The 3 star rating is due to the rude employee.
