I visited Markey's Lobster Pool on Sunday after not being there for a couple of years, and I have…read moreto say I was pretty disappointed. This used to be one of my favorite spots. The steamers were actually very good and probably the highlight of the meal, and overall the food quality itself was still decent. The biggest issue was the fried plates. I always remembered Markey's being known for generous portions, but this time the portions were extremely skimpy and honestly pretty surprising for the price point. When you're paying seafood prices, you expect to leave feeling like you actually got a meal. The atmosphere and quality were still good, but for the money there are much better options out there now. Hoping this was just an off day because I remember this place being much better.

The lobster is as fresh as you can get them, the quality hasn't change since I been coming here.

The butter is unsalted so you can truly taste the sweetness and brininess of the lobstahhhh. You can't get better and fresher lobster than Markeys! Truly a New England staple.

It came with a pile of greasy onion rings, fries, clam strips and coleslaw. The tartar sauce was meh and their drink selection is basic Pepsi products and no ice available.

The interior has bright colors around and station where you can order and choose items similar to subways. There is a small seating are by the door as well. The workers here are really nice and have great proportions. You have options of how many scoops you want. Each scoop you can choose the type of protein you want with unlimited toppings but some toppings are an extra cost. I always get the crispy wonton skins, I think they used to have crispy balls but they don't anymore. There are pre made options but I prefer making my own and putting whatever I like on there. The 2 scoop I got was around $20 but it was enough for myself and to share.

We visited on a very busy night, which is always a good sign. We were lucky to time a seat opening at the bar and we quickly jumped on it. While seated, we could see how busy the bartenders were filling drink orders for both the bar and restaurant patrons. We did not order an appetizer so we jumped right in to drinks and dinner. Our bartender was awesome with follow up and service. Our orders were a hamburger and fries (see pic) and a roasted veggie salad (see pic). We shared some onion rings, as well. My wife got a glass of wine and I had water with a lemon. We did not get a dessert, as the main dish was plenty.

However, I was in Andover recently and passed thru N. Reading on the way home. We happened to drive by the Claw and I kept it in my mind to re-visit soon. The location is newer than I remember. It has been recently painted, new seating, lighting and ordering area. I love that they have plenty of ketchup on each table. I feel like that goes a long way to their commitment to their customers.

Bump Bump Bump, Another one bites the dust, another one bites the dust... Sadly, that is what…read morehappened to my favorite seafood place recently. Been going here for years, rarely disappointed. Recently they were closed for "renovations" for awhile. That might also mean they changed hands, sold out. In my experience, that is never a good sign, the new owners will surely ruin a good thing, they'll cut back on quality, raise prices, and change the recipes. My best guess is that's what happened to The Lobster Claw. Or they just went downhill. Went here last week for lunch. Walked in, where am I?! They now have a big divider between the seating area and ordering. You're corralled into this area first. The giant blackboard menu is gone. Now they have a small, cramped, menu above the register. I had to squint to read it all. I gave the girl my order which she got wrong THREE times. The Calamari basket, well done I said. I always used to tell them well done because it tastes better and the breading doesn't slide off the fish. Now where do I go to pick up my food when it's done? There's a sign that say's "Takeout Pickup" next to the register. Is that all one word, or for takeout orders and picking up what you just ordered? So I wandered aimlessly out of the dividing area and into the dining area. A window at the end with a sign, "BEER AND WINE." Is that where I go or is that for ordering booze and paying for it? So I sat down at a table and waited for my number to be called. I got my food pretty quick. I asked the new kid, looks like the old staff was not there anymore, for a lid and a bag for my thimbleful cup of chowder, that cost $7.00 by the way, to take home. He acted like I was inconveniencing him. This is after he plopped the tray down and spilled some of the chowder broth onto the tray. Thanks a lot Junior! Sat down to eat. Calamari...not well done. In fact it looked and tasted under done. It was chewy, and the breading was falling off. ONE tarter sauce with it. They used to give out two and then asked you if that was enough. Saving money for the renovations are we? The fries under the Calamari were soggy, greasy, cold, and under cooked as well. I didn't finish my meal obviously because to be frank, it sucked. Later on at home I tried the fish chowder. Maybe at least that will be the saving grace. Nope. It was the consistency of oatmeal, like it was put in a blender. Bland and watery as well. $ 30.00 I'm out for a meal that I could have got at Market Basket for one third the price for frozen fish sticks and a can of chowder that would have tasted better than that disaster. Next time I'm in the area and want some fish, I'll be going to McDonald's for a Filet-O-Fish meal instead. And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust...don't let them get you too.
