3 lobsters/$33!!! Yes it's true. Pack your own cooler with snacks and wine and stick next to the Gloucester harbour enjoying your surrounding and the lobster. We watched them bring them off the boat in the morning and right into our pot. Can't get much fresher than that?! The water taxi docks here and a trip around the Harbor will add to the experience. read more

Amazing location, friendly staff great food, and let's not forget the outdoor band yesterday that brought it all home for our family of 10!!!! What a great time! Thank you David, and all of the @bluecollarlobsterco staff for making our Massachusetts vacation one to remember! read more

The Gloucester House - Seafood Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Didn't know it was outdoors restaurant when we went but was very enjoyable. Prices were decent, especially for the amount of food you got for it. All big portions. read more

Came here today for takeout with the fam. The haddock fish tacos were seriously so good and perfectly seasoned. The portion of fish per taco was The clam chowder was also out of this world. The service was great and everyone was super friendly. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great seafood--fresh, tasty, good portions. Outside seating available, shaded from the sun with a great view of the harbor.

Food and atmosphere was exactly what we needed! You have to go up to the bar to buy a drink/ no servers who take your order at tables (which is perfectly fine). The blonde bartender working at the indoor bar tonight was the rudest women I've ever met. She was young and working at a super chill place but was still dismissive, and had so much attitude that left all of us just simply confused.... Ordering a round of beers should leave you THAT frustrated. Find a new job. read more

Just wondering why things did not taste at all, never mind not a hint of freshness. Tasted like frozen seafood. The clam chowder was the only decent meal. Bland shrimp, bland fried haddock and bland clams. read more

Disgusting bathrooms that looked that they hadn't been cleaned in a month. A disappointing surprise when ordering a $36 "fisherman's" platter where every single item was breaded and fried, even the shrimp and scallops. Chowder and haddock were decent, but could have had the same meal at Long John Silvers for $10. If you have counter only ordering and a wait, the food should be way better than this was. Thought I was avoiding the tourist trap type of restaurant but instead landed right in the middle of it. read more

Do not waste your time if you want sea food. $60 for a clam plate and haddock plate. Got about 10 clams. They were not good at all. People taking order did not seem to want to be here, didn't offer much help. Was like pulling teeth to get a cup for my water since they would not give you ice. I love seafood, but definitely not this restaurant. read more

This is a seafood market on the wharf overlooking the vessels coming in to deliver lobsters to the cook. This all took place in area covering about 200 square feet. So seriously, how can you get fresher? You can't. I was told in Boston when I was getting ready to begin my drive up the coast to Portland on my lobster fest that basically every chef cooks the lobsters the same way, so all you are paying more for is the atmosphere and the side dishes - but being from Texas I was on a search and destroy mission with Lobsta on the brain, I don't need no stinkin side dishes! This place delivered three nice size, fresh off the boat (I mean I saw them come off the boat) lobstas for $32. A KILLA Deal! read more

This place was a win strictly because of the PERFECT location. Service, prices, and food were all pretty standard and the outdoor game selection were a nice touch. Unfortunately, they do not offer any alcoholic beverages. read more

Totally hit the spot! After the whale watch in the morning we ate lunch here, tons of lobsters, clam chowder and rolls! Could have given it 5stars but the bread they used is not soft enough. Nevertheless, all good! read more

The fish sandwich was a generous portion of fried haddock on a brioche roll served on a bed of lettuce and tomato. A side of the best French fries that I couldn't stop eating!. The waitress was incredibly busy but always attentive and friendly. A very happy experience! read more

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. All the staff was disgustingly rude, even made it obvious that they were talking bad about our table. Never going back. read more

We went for lunch the other day. The lobster rolls were $37. Over $10 more than any other place in the area. When I asked why they were so much, the person at the counter told me 'everyone else in town uses frozen lobster. NOT TRUE. The $37 lobster roll was NOT worth it. Suggest you look around before dining here. read more

Go here if you are in Gloucester!! As New Englanders, we know our lobster and fresh seafood...and this place is as good as it gets. No frills counter to order food, wait for your number to be called, and then sit at a picnic table and enjoy. Right on the water, with tables and high tops under umbrellas, great for any kind of weather. We got the oysters (exceptional and ENORMOUS...so worth getting), lobster roll (perfect perfect) and clam chowder (done just right). They serve cold beers which rounds out the meal and tops off a great experience. Do yourself a favor and stop in read more

We happen to come upon this place just walking around showing an out-of-town friend around. We liked the fact we could sit outside and watch the action on the water. We had the clam chowder (very creamy and thick), double lobster (easy to crack open and eat) and peel and eat shrimp (nothing fancy there). We had a great time and the food was excellent. My only issue was that there were no bibs for eating the lobster. read more

The lobster roll ($25) tasted like it had been sitting in a refrigerator. Other than the unflavored lobster sitting on some sad wilted strings of lettuce, there is nothing much to talk about. The roll itself was excessively bready, and wasn't toasted or anything like that. The atmosphere is nice, but the lobster roll was so bland. read more

We had the lobster roll and it tasted old. The view was great! The clam chowder was delish!

Not Worth your time. Stood in a line that never seem to move to put our order in. When we finally got our food it was disappointing at best. The scallops were over cooked and rubbery. The $37 lobster roll was small and not fresh tasting. The view is nice but not worth the nasty food read more

This place is what you call Lobster in the rough. No frills, you eat lobster outside on tables. The lobsters are fresh, tasty and cooked right. Being from Maine I'm picky. The menu has nonseafood options if someone in your party doesn't like seafood. If you are looking for steamers they didn't have them but They did have clam chowder. The place is quite lively and sometimes has bands outside for entertainment. I would give it 5 stars but the girl who takes the orders acts like she doesn't want to be there and says things she shouldn't around customers. read more

As fresh as it gets. As simple as possible...whole boiled lobster with butter and a Beer. Perfect coastal setting. read more

The Gloucester House - Seafood Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Cruising through Gloucester with our dog and looking for some place he can join us, we though hey, try this! Great choice! We love the Gloucester House and this affiliated outdoor spot is just as good. Straight forward lobster roll, cold beer, at the harbor, it's a winner! read more

OK, full disclosure, I went to this place by accident. I drove up to Gloucester from Boston to enjoy the outstanding mixed seafood stew at Passport's. But alas, it was closed on the Fourth of July, so I ambled around and found a huge dining complex on the water, of which Blue Collar Oysters is only a part. At the bar, I was met by the charming Lily who suggested that I had chosen correctly with the large Haddock Tacos (2). They were the best fish tacos I have ever eaten, and it was more than I could eat at one sitting. Just outstanding. A huge portion of blackened haddock with avocado sauce and their own special spicy blend of mayonnaise. Oh, and a great view of the harbor from the back bar too. Lovely. read more

Been here twice, both times it's been great! Reasonably priced, outdoor seating right on the water. Nothing fancy but tasty and romantic

Totally a sweet spot. Haddock tacos A+, pretty much the only place in town that is dog friendly.

If you want a good lobster meal with a view of the ocean at a very good price, Blue Collar is the perfect place! My family and I visited Gloucester during the summer and were looking for a lobster place that has an overlooking view of the ocean. We came across Blue Collar and we had a feast! The lobsters were only 2 for $24!! We're from Los Angeles where a lobster cost at least $20 at a restaurant so we were very amazed and happy at the price. They were very good and they crack the shells for you so you don't have to struggle cracking the shells and the claw. Also, if you're a fan of wicked tuna one of the boats dock next to this restaurant. My dad is a big fan of the show so he was going insane and starstruck eating next to it. The customer service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone! read more

I went last week and found the staff so kind and accommodating as well as friendly. I had been craving a lobster roll for days and it was excellent. The sides were also good. The staff went out of their way to make it possible for me to have a lobster roll despite some of my dietary constraints. It was also my first experience with outdoor dining and there was plenty of outdoor space. read more

Lobster deal is good! Burgers are horrible! Plus burgers and fries are WAYYYYY over priced!

We went a few weeks ago to buy some live lobsters. They have a sign on Rogers Street that says 'Live Lobsters $5.99'. It was 11:30 and they were opening for lunch. They were cleaning up from the night before and the place was a mess. We asked for a couple of live lobsters and the gal said she would have to ask someone. A guy walked by and she asked him if we could buy some chicken lobsters .... 1.25 pounders. He said no, not today, and kept walking. We asked the gal what they could sell us and when she finally got the guy's attention he said 1 pounders and walked away again. The person manning the ordering station should know what is available that day and should have a helpful attitude, rather than being dour. I can't speak to the food there as we left. They have a superb location right on the 7 Seas Wharf and if we had been treated better, we would have added it to the regular oceanfront rotation of places we go to for apps and drinks. Really unimpressed with their 'customer service'. read more

Exact what you want when you think of roughing a Lobster feed. Picnic tables, water views and lobster perfectly prepared. And pricing is very fare fore what you get. Two clam chowder, corn and three lobster for under $60. We'll be back. read more

Affordable lobsters cooked perfectly and served near the water at a very good price. The only downside is the occasionally wafting smell of dead shellfish from the dumpster nearby. read more

A little tricky to find, but once we found the deck, it was exactly what we were looking for. On the water, bean bag toss games, fresh lobsters, nice umbrellas, what a gem! We will definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

Their lobsters are simply the best! No need to have any sauce or seasoning! Pure taste, perfect size. Have to go back when I come visit Boston area next time! read more

No frills, but crazy fresh and delicious (and quick) twin lobsters for under $25 right on the water front with friendly counter staff. This is an outdoor nothing fancy establishment attached to Gloucester House restaurant. Nothing fancy picnic tables and umbrellas, Nothing fancy beer and wine. Nothing fancy utensils.There is nothing wrong with this, and if you need nothing more to enjoy your lobsters, respect! Here's how you could make your experience fancy. (Sort of) Order the twin lobsters. If the nothing fancy beer and wine doesn't do it for you, buy a fancy drink from the Gloucester House which I've heard you can bring outside to Blue Collar. Sit and wait for your lobsters while looking at the boats go by on the water front. (that's fancy right?) Pick up your twin lobsters and not fancy utensils, and pull a lobster cracker out of your purse. (Ok maybe this isn't very fancy, but I can't crack most lobsters with my hands and they do not provide lobster crackers or picks.) Eat your just plucked from the ocean that day fresh and tasty lobsters! (fancy fancy fancy!) The clam chowder was delicious and there looked like some great seafood and non seafood choices including lobster rolls, and chicken salad. I thought the whole experience was authentic, fun, and very delicious, sitting dockside in a great waterfront setting, and you can't beat the price. As long as you are prepared for absolutely no frills, you will enjoy it too...We will be back again. read more

We stumbled upon this place and I'm so glad we did. Plenty of seating right by the water to enjoy just sitting, having a beer and watching the boats go by. There is a bar inside or you can grab drinks outside as well. They also have cornhole :) very cool! We will definitely be back! read more

Lobster seemed to be slightly on the tough side, which was disappointing. 1 and 1/8 lb lobsters, 3 for 33$. Lots of seating though, and it seemed quite uncrowded, which makes this really excellent for large groups. I was not a fan of the clam chowder (too sweet). Perhaps it was that we had lobster the day before, but when we looked at the lobsters in the tanks, they seemed kind of sluggish in comparison... read more

I've been coming to Gloucester for over 50 years. I loved this place when it was just lobster, chowder and oysters. They now have a full clam shack menu while the Gloucester House is remodeled. Had a lobster roll, boiled lobbie, chowder and haddock tacos. The last two were solid. Maybe even 5 stars. But the others, not so much. The lobster roll was big, but had celery and lettuce in it - a big no-no in my book. I expect that from a lobster roll food truck in Chicago, not on the pier in Gloucester harbor. And the bun wasn't buttered and grilled. What??? 1star quality with an extra star for the ample size. The boiled lobster- what they do all day long here - was not hot but lukewarm. It must have been done for 20 mins before it got to me. Not a drop of piping hot water came from the claws as I cracked them. The meat wasn't moist and hot, but rather dry and barely warm. 1star. And the lobster roll was $37 and the boiled guy $25!! I know the lobster shortage isn't their fault, but the product needs to be better at any price, and especially these prices. A place that has always been fantastic was really quite disappointing. read more

This place sucks. It's a place to collect tourists by the water and serve sub par food.

Great scenery and view. I had a lobster roll, it was very good. Here is the problem, the young staff working behind the counter working the register want to sit on cellphones and play indie music too loudly out the speaker. People come to hear the gulls, ocean and boats and not the terrible music- we watched many guests leave. read more
