Lobster boil
Dorothy B.

The food is delicious, the fish is fantastic! We've had baked, fried, and Lobster Boil dinners. They are consistent too. We always get quality food. I can't say enough about the service; it's outstanding. Kara; Awesome ! I highly recommend, Waves. When you head to Braintree Mall, if you like good seafood, check them out.

Grilled Salmon Meal with rice & broccoli

Amazing food. Amazing service. Ray & Kara are running a wonderful family owned business and showed my family and I the best hospitality. There was plenty of seating inside and out which was a nice addition to the ambiance. Would definitely recommend.

Well, needed some fresh scallops and de died to try a different spot. Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Ordered a scallop plate for 28.99 on menu that rang up 31.99 ? She adjusted price. Asked to sub onion rings instead of fries... no substitutions. Ordered a lobster bisque small for 6.99 Place was freezing cold with no heat to eat inside... was Warmer outside? Nice clean store, restaurant seating area. Scallops were fresh and very good , not greasy, overcooked ones. Fries a nice crunch , but too many . Cole slaw was just ok. Lobster bisque was cold, lumpy, no flavor, no lobster pieces... lousy ... wouldn't order again. Had to warm up in car after the meal... need to turn some heat on Root beer added on for 3.20 was just ok from a bottler in Ludlow Ma. Definitely a spot for fresh seafood to take home, order cooked. Again; key is the freshness here in clean environment.

If you've followed along on any of my reviews at seafood places, you'll hear me say it over and over again - i am very picky when it comes to where I get my seafood. You can get serious food poisoning if the seafood isn't cooked right or kept at the right temperatures. When I entered waves seafood market, the first thing I noticed was the shop's smell. You knew you were in a seafood store but it did not smell like one...and that's saying something! Already impressed with the smell and overall clean feel of the store, the seafood looked fresh and delicious too! We decided to grab some food and eat in to enjoy it as fresh as possible. Let me tell you, I grew up by Wolly Beach where everyone goes to Tony's or the Clam Box for seafood. Waves is WAYYYY BETTER, dare I say not even comparable. It's super fresh, not even a bit soggy, and not greasy. The seafood is plump, juicy, prepared properly, and well seasoned. It was also way more affordable than Tony's or the Clam Box. I also really like that they do non-fried items too for those who aren't feeling fried seafood but still want seafood! The staff was also a highlight. Every single one of them weren't just friendly and pleasant, they were all also very hospitable. They checked in on us 3 times while we were there. Made sure we had Silverware and enough sauces. They took initiative to learn more about their customers and checked in on the food quality. Overall, I'm going to be a frequent visitor and will refer all my south shore friends here. I hope they continue to keep their prices, service, and quality consistent for years to come!

Fried Seafood Platter and lobster roll
Alex C.

I was in the mood for some classic New England seafood after work on day and found Waves on Yelp. It wasn't too far away so we decided to try it out! We ordered ahead since they were closing at 6 that day, and the food was ready right as we arrived 15 minutes later. The interior is very clean and simple, a counter with their fresh seafood and an area with homemade items to go and sauces + drinks. There were a couple of 2 person tables inside but we opted to sit outside to take advantage of the nice weather. I shared a fried seafood platter and cold lobster roll with my partner. The quality of the seafood was a lot better than what we've had a few weeks earlier in the Cape and the portions were loaded. The fried scallops, clams, shrimp and fish were all piping hot, and the lobster roll was refreshing and delicious. One of the owners came outside to chat with us for a bit and they were extremely hospitable and down to earth. I'll definitely be coming back to Waves in the near future to fulfill similar cravings and buy some fresh seafood as well!

Grilled bourbon swordfish, onion rings, & cornbread

Stopped in for takeout this evening, have not had a bad meal yet. Swordfish was perfectly cooked and we even picked up a side of onion rings and cornbread. Food here is always fresh.

Background: counter and murals. Foreground: lobster roll and 2 way fried combo (whole belly clams and haddock)
Alyanna T.

My partner and I got the lobster roll, 2 way fried combo (whole belly clams and haddock), and cornbread - TASTE: 4/5 - loved the fresh lobster and its buttered roll. Everything was tasty and well seasoned, including the breading of the fried combo, plus the flavorful coleslaw and sweet cornbread TEXTURE: 5/5 - nicely fried all around, satisfying and not too heavy PRICE: 4/5 - great for the quality seafood, both the cooked options and fresh market items. Looking forward to coming back for more! SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - filled us up for dinner and brought some fries home SERVICE: 4/5 - ordered online and our food was ready by the time we arrived to pick it up 20min later. The staff was super nice, and the additional to-go food on the shelves is also all made by Waves ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - a bright, open, and modern space. Glad they had a few small tables; we decided to enjoy our food there instead of waiting til we were home PARKING: 5/5 - just enough spots in their dedicated parking lot

Baked seafood trio for the win!!

On Christmas Eve, (La Vigilia), many Italian families celebrate the "Feast of the Seven Fishes"…read more The custom is to serve seven different seafood dishes, each one representing one of the seven sacraments. At least that's the version of the story we've always gone by. The usual menu (since I was a tiny tot) has always included: pasta with lobster, baked stuffed shrimp, bacala (salt cod) salad, another bacala dish; this one with a marinara sauce, pan-fried smelts, clams one way or another; often casino-style, calamari, and then whatever else suits us that year to total at least seven dishes. While I didn't appreciate aspects of this meal when I was a kid (read: any bacala dish), it's now probably my favorite holiday feast bar none with any and all bacala included. While I usually get my fish at Rockyneck no matter what time of year, the day or two leading up to Christmas Eve is when we've got to buckle down. The crowd is coming. Rockyneck doesn't steer us wrong. It's actually inside the Hingham Fruit Center, a store I love and which I've reviewed separately. It consists of one large seafood counter within the larger grocery store and is its own business. I'm generally impressed with the freshness, quality and taste of the seafood they carry. The look of the fish is always pristine and I never hesitate over any of their offerings. The staff is attentive, friendly and helpful and will do their best to get you the very best of what you need when you need it. Christmas Eve notwithstanding, this place is a conveniently located little gem.

I was surprised to read such rave reviews, but have started going there. I thought the authors were…read moremisguided. Having been, now, a few times, I think the reviews are a bit understated. it is fresh, fast, kind. The drawback is that they do not have a huge selection, but I suspect that is because what they have is fresh. It also does not appear overpriced. I will go back.

I treated myself to BayPointe to get my favorite baked stuff lobster dish on Mother's Day. I was…read morehappy to know they had lobsters and I always call beforehand just to make sure. Bay Pointe removes both claws from the lobster which I appreciate and puts the whole claw meat under the stuffing mix. On this particular day only 1 claw was found. When I inquired about the missing claw I was told it was cut up in the stuffing mix. First of all, I have been to this restaurant many times ordering this same dish. So, tell me why 1 claw meat would be cut up and not the other one. Once the explanation was given it was utterly bull. I've never had the claw meat cut up and mixed in with the stuffing and as far as I'm concerned it should never be an option to do that. If so, I probably would not order this dish anymore. I want to see my claws in it's entirety and not cut up. Bottom line lobsters have 2 claws not 1. Both should have been in the dish and basically it wasn't. This will not deter me from coming to this establishment, but please think about your response before providing an answer that doesn't make any sense. I can't wait for the patio to open so I can enjoy the outdoor rays.

Starting this as a complete visit review. Walk-in party of 3 time in 5:20pm…read more Confirming wait list text received 5:24pm Place is busy, hopping and boisterous. Told inside wait for a table is 45 min. Outside wait for a table is 1:45 min. Asked about a 4 top table near hostess station. Told there are "16 in front of me" Time is now 5:34 that table is still empty. Time is now 5:46 that table and the one next to it are open. Multiple people have left and several have replaced them. Restaurants turning tables which is good. However it is now 6:00 and we have not been seated. We left for another restaurant.
