I have eaten at the one in sandwich many times and always better? Why? This time Falmouth, batter different than in Sandwich? Why? Water ? Management ? Quality control? I ordered a scallop plate , 1/2 pint clams , 3.00 extra to sub onion rings for fries . Few onion rings for 3.09 extra, batter fell off onion rings? Scallops same thing and not many for the 80.00 meal tops with a can of beer. Clams batter I didn't like and clams not crunchy texture... again all better at sandwich location? Even the Cole slaw different here ... was fresh, needed more creamy flavor for me. Disappointing meal , I don't like touching ketchup bottles on tables for ketchup after my hands cleaned for eating my meal. Sandwich process better with ketchup dispenser . I wonder if different owner operators of the family for each location? Need consistency cross both locations. I don't see returning to this location ... the sword fish grilled special sounded good . read more

Lobster was excellent. A couple of sides. Steamers were ample with butter and steamer water. They were however were b ua little over done and dry. Pricing was high for a cafeteria style restaurant. From picking up your food at the order counter and you are asked to clean up your table and return glassware and metal utensils for which you have given a deposit. read more

Clam strips and squid. I wish they had more sauces like chili sauce or something spicy. I know it's not traditional. But at least a hot sauce bar would be nice. This place keeps getting more expensive but it's too much of a seasonal staple not to go to at least a few times a summer. The squid is tender but almost raw, doesn't seem cooked enough. I did the onion grade upgrade read more

Seafood Sam's - Now This is a Lobster Bisque - Seafood Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

Hands down one of the best fish tacos this California girl has ever had! The haddock was perfectly battered and fried, and was so flakey and moist. The mango salsa was delicious. It's a big portion and good for sharing, which we didn't realize when ordering... so we also got clam chowder, lobster bisque, onion rings and a jumbo lobster roll. It's not everyday you pay $50 for a lobster roll, but this one was worth every penny! No regrets! read more

Seafood Sam's - Fish tacos, jumbo lobster roll, onion rings (clam chowder and lobster bisque in the cups) - Seafood Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

We ordered dinner for two, including a glass of wine each, and paid $120. We had to pick up the food at the counter and were given plastic plates and cutlery on a tray. The portion was very small and served in a small aluminum container; it was entirely self-service. Not worth the price. Never again. read more

Scrawny clam strips. I have been three times and each time the clam strips were scrawny fried spindles of clam strip batter. Unacceptable!

Clams strips this year are horrible. I tried them last week and tho bad I thought it was a fluke. Tough, and coating is different too. Thicker, crunchier almost to mask the strips. I ALWAYS loved them, looked forward to going all summer. Not going back again. That's how disappointing it was for me. read more

Seafood Sam's is a favorite that we visit every year on our way to Woods Hole. The fish and chips platter is large enough to split and the fish is light and delicate, not greasy at all! Amazing clam chowder with tons of fresh clams that are tender and not in the least bit chewy. Highly recommend this place! read more

We had fried whole belly clams that were done perfectly! My son had the baked haddock with scallops both choices were absolutely delicious. service was excellent and the seating area was spotless. We definitely will be returning frequently. read more

Seafood Sam's - Baked and Fried platters - Seafood Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

We've been eating at Seafood Sam's (Falmouth) for many years and it has proved consistently delicious until this Spring. This April, I had the Fried Fisherman's platter and only had 2 shrimp. My mother had the Baked Haddock (one of her favorites) but it was bland. Yesterday, I picked up 2 more meals and I had a fried combo (shrimp and haddock) w a not so great baked potato which included no utensils and no tartar sauce (which I clearly stated). Again, the haddock was bland and didn't have the usual delightful and delicious batter. Even the coleslaw just wasn't as good as past seasons....We are hopeful they're getting their rhythm back since they only recently opened for the season. We will pause for now and will try again later in the season. We LOVE Seafood Sams and hope they will sustain their epic seafood this summer! : ) read more

The fried whole bellies were SOO JUICY. Highly recommend! We also got fish and chips and it was very yummy. The only thing I'd skip is the clam chowder because it was a bit thin. Flying bridge has way better chowder! We came by for lunch and it was very quick. We all ordered lunch portions and the prices & portions were great. Ordering is easy, just get what you would like at the counter and it will be ready in a few min. It's self service so we got water, ketchup & tarter sauce and didn't need anything else! read more

Came to visit Falmouth on evening while in Boston for work. Was craving a lobster roll, so I had dinner here at seafood Sam's. They were doing a very steady business with both in person customers and pick up orders. The line at the counter moved quickly, and after ordering, waited only a few minutes for my meal. The lobster roll was a generous portion for a reasonable price, and tasted great. It completely hit the spot. Will definitely return next time I'm in the area. read more

Had the fried lobster and shrimp combo. It was very good (though I'm not a fan of the rubbery ends of the claw meat). Overall it was very good. Ordered at the counter and they texted me when the food was ready. It was quick . The place was very clean and low noise level. I hadn't been in years but I'd return for sure. read more

Plenty of parking / dining area big spacious. Clean. Order at counter. Pay. Get your own soda drinks. They had some beer. Find a seat. They will call you when your meal is ready to be picked up. I had the fried seafood plater. Scollops, fish and shrimp were good. Clam strips were just not there. Batter but no chewy strip. Onion rings were great. Service was good. I might go back. ‍ was not bad but not for me. read more

Very mediocre fried seafood. And expensive to boot. Portions were mid sized -not especially generous. Service was friendly and prompt and the restaurant was nice and clean. Serviceable in a pinch. read more

It was cooked perfect. It was fresh, came in a recyclable box. I want to come back and try some of their clams and other delights. Fish sandwich with 2 nice size fillets of scrod, lettuce and tomato on a roll. It is like a camping trip now eating out either at their picnic tables or in the car or take home which I liking more and more! We called the order in, and was hassle free for pickup. For landlubbers, schrod is a small haddock, cod or or other white ocean fish found in the Northern Atlantic. I would like some pickles on the side. read more

This place was ok. Not sure what I expected since it is a seafood place and I don't like seafood, lol, but my family was going there. There was one plant-added option, the impossible burger. It just tasted weird like it was frozen, then thawed, then frozen again. I wasn't able to finish it. Hate wasting money like that, especially with everything being extra expensive nowadays. My partner had the park and he said it tasted ok and his mother had the clam strips, which she seemed to enjoy. It is a counter-service style restaurant, so you order your food and then you bring it to the table to eat it. Just not what I was expecting or ring all around. I'm sure if you like seafood, this place will be fine for you. read more

I had the fried lobster and shrimp! With onion rings. While it's sacrilegious to fry lobster, I thought I'd give it a whirl! It was outstanding butter was a nice touch! Everything was fried perfectly including the onion rings. Speaking of the onion rings, it was nice to have small thin onion rings instead of giant thick ones were the batters just gonna fall right off. Everything was outstanding only thing needed to add was a little salt and pepper! Well done guys, well done! read more

This made all my Cape Cod food dreams a reality. We split a clam roll, full belly, a hot lobster roll, clam fritters, onion rings, and a chowder. I love the more spicy New England style cocktail sauce as well. The system is effective and efficient. We were here in the off season, but I bet this place is packed in the summer. We have a little boy, so we never like fancy or fussy places. This was a great casual place with delicious food. read more

Always a pleasure to go to Seafood Sams in Sandwich and Falmouth Ma The onion rings are to die for as also the fried clam plate The batter and light, crispy flavor is always great I love living on the Cspe and it is a great place to eat Jackie S read more

Great fried seafood spot. A little on the pricey side to be honest but there are combination platters which you can choose from to get a little bit of everything. Place was very clean and i enjoyed my fried oysters. We also had a lobster roll and shrimp with linguini which was delicious. Everything made to order completely fresh. Worth the experience. read more

Last night on the Cape for a business trip and figured I'd try a local clam shack (restaurant). Got the fried seafood platter for one and a cup of lobster bisque. I still have about half of it left, including the bisque. I think I need some dental work after eating some of the clam strips. Each one was gritty. The lobster bisque had a very unique taste that I can't quite describe, which is why there's 3/4s of it left. The fries were very warm, and so were the few onion rings on top. Only got about 3 shrimp. The fish wasn't bad and the cole slaw was so-so. Doing 3 stars as I'm assuming other stuff on the menu might be decent. Also, the Cape Cod IPA is pretty good, but that's not a restaurant item! I almost feel bad for putting this meal on my expense report. Also learning that just because a place puts a lot of stuff on a plate, it doesn't mean it's all good. read more

Seafood Sam's - Hot lobster rolls with onion rings - Seafood Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

I was craving a big plate of deep fried seafood. Seafood Sam's is conveniently located near the parking lot of the Cape Cod Ferry so you can stop by here for lunch. We sat outdoors due to Covid. It was a little bit cold but but it was not that bad. They also serve beer as well. We ordered the fried seafood platter, which came with deep fried scallops, shrimp, haddock, onion rings fries and oysters. The portion was very generous, and this is coming from somebody with a huge appetite. I enjoyed the deep fried seafood. Everything was hot and crispy. I would give it 3.5 stars! read more

We just had the worst meal at Seafood Sam's. The fish plate was miniscule and the scallop special was 6 scallops on a lettuce leaf for $18. We have been going to Seafood Sam's for years, and treating out of town guests to a good meal. This really sucked - has it been sold? read more

I think mostly this place wasn't my favorite - but I bet a lot of folks would like it. We had a 2-person fried fish platter and it was HUGE! Plenty for at least 3-4 people. So it felt a little over the top - I wish we'd been told how big it was. I found the breading to be too heavy - but the fish was fresh and tasty. Order at a counter and they text you to pick up at the counter. Comfortable seating, good atmosphere. read more

I stumbled upon this gem while visiting the area for work. I am VERY picky about seafood - especially fried things. I ordered a half portion plate of whole bellie clams and it came with a side of coleslaw and fries as well as a lemon wedge. The food was prepared quickly and absolutely scrumptious! The clams were tender/ sweet and the batter light and crispy. The coleslaw was freshly made and flavorful - creamy dressing and not at all watery. Tartar sauce and Fries were great too ! I only lament that eating out has become so expensive - but this is everywhere now, .... you don't mind so much when the food and restaurant is so great! read more

One of the best seafood meals we had on the Cape by far. Everything was so fresh. Great portions and service!

Got takeout. Portions are on the smaller size but ok for price (the seafood) the sides are oversized and the food is perfectly prepared. Easy takeout parking right in front of Falmouth location. First time here. I expect it's pretty rare to get anything that's not darn tasty here. read more

I saw this spot driving into Falmouth called Seafood Sam's. Food was good and crunchy. After looking at the photos here, I'm not sure you are getting the best bang for your buck. If you look at my photo of which I forgot to take before diving into the sweet potato fries is showing you pretty much what I received for $33.00. Now I have haddock, clam belly, scallop and shrimps. I would recommend you get something else other than the seafood platter which will put the price in half if you're looking for a affordability because they do have a fordable prices at the Mills. Food was good my favorite was the clam bellies and the shrimp. Got ready to go and saw a much larger platter pass me by. Oh well food was good. I love the presentation of the onion funnel. The restaurant was nice and clean and you can smelled sanitized. It was set up for social distance and ready to go. read more

On our way down to the Woods Hole aquarium, we passed Seafood Sam's. It looked nice and clean and it had seafood in the name, so why not? I had a hankering for whole belly clams, so lunch was in order. Sam's is brightly painted in nautical motif and I swear I stepped into an episode of Spongebob Squarepants and eating at the Krusty Krab. After ordering at the front counter, we grabbed a table to await our food, which was ready pretty fast. Our buzzer went off, we got our food and we were ready to eat. The lobster roll was tasty with a decent amount of lobster and came with a side and my wife chose baked beans. We shared a large clam chowder because what meal in Cape Cod doesn't include chowdah?? A pair of tasty fish tacos and crowned with a plate of golden brown clam bellies and we are happy as clams! (well maybe happier than the fried ones). read more
