    wicked cheap twin lobsters

    $29.95 for 2 whole lobsters and two sides (price on 10/9/25) for thursday night special. we were seated right away; our server, christine, was great; the lobster was AMAZING! i can't believe this place wasn't packed! best meal of our trip, and adding it to our *must* list for our next trip to new england.

    Delish lobster roll
    Jayne H.

    I realized I have never written a review for this restaurant and I have been going there for over 20 years. All I can say is kudos - every meal I have had there has been excellent. I've had the fried clam lunch and dinner, grilled chicken sandwich, and the root beer float, which is amazing. My husband has had the Admiral's Platter, which is fried shrimp, scallops and clams. I haven't been here in a while, but recently had the chance to stop in and got the lobster roll. It was reasonably priced (it was off season) and I opted for the celery/mayo. Lots of lobster meat, just enough mayo and the roll was not too crisp or too soft. Absolutely perfect. I opted for a side salad and ended up bringing that home because the lobster roll was so filling. This is a definite go to if you are in the area - some of the best seafood around and alternatives for those who don't like seafood. GO!

    Great food and service. Location is great, close to all major highways and historic Dover downtown. Unique decorations and friendly atmosphere.

    Sea Scallops and Whole Clams
    Joe L.

    Dined at the bar and Stacey took great care of me. Went with a good old Sam Adams Lager, the Half-Half combo of Sea Scallops and Whole Belly Clams along with Pa's World Famous Onion Rings (upcharge) and creamy cole slaw. Look at the pictures...if you know fried seafood you can tell this meal was perfectly cooked. The batter is light and doesn't overpower the seafood and of course clean oil is essential to presenting a delicious fried seafood platter. What's nice is you experience the same quality of food and service regardless of the Weathervane restaurant you dine in!!!

    Lobster roll and soggy fries

    Lobster roll had hardly any lobster in it for $32. Would not recommend the weathervane for lobster. The fish chowder was good.

    Boiled lobster
    Natalie H.

    The food was good, not exceptional but it was definitely tasty. The boiled lobster I ordered was delicious. The Maple salmon was another hit. However, our server was extremely unknowledgeable and unhelpful. It was her first week, which she told us, but instead of going to ask her coworkers questions for us, she said she didn't know and made no attempt to help past that. Other than the, service we had a good experience!

    Lazy man lobster
    Sake B.

    This a quiet restaurant off a side of a semi busy road. Seen it a few times, thought we give it a try since they wanted fried food. The interior of the restaurant a bit dated and yea it goes with the "weather" down type theme. Waitress was nice. I order the lazy man lobster, was nothing impressive about the meal. I didn't want to de-shell my own and the price for lobster was market price. Still tasted frozen and not fresh. Came with plain baked potato and some sour creme...where the chive? I'm not a fan of the coleslaw. Bland. I honestly had better...fried platter also. My mother had an appetizer platter of some sort with buffalo wings and fried scallops. It was okay. Their onion rings were decent.

    Fried seafood is mush. Soggy undercooked. Prices need to be a lot cheaper for the subpar food. Very rude service.

    Off the beaten path and we loved it! Having come to this area for years, we have our favorite…read morestops. We try to visit them all, but this trip was different. One of our favorite stops had closed due to seasonal hours, so we decided to hit some other locals places. We were thrilled when we found the Fisherman's Catch last year and decided to go back again this year. We were seated right away and served not too long after. The staff is friendly and attentive. The upscale shack-like atmosphere is on point. We love their lobster paper towel holders that are suspended from the ceiling. I can say that the seating inside is comfortable but I have not been able to try the outdoor seating. So far we have tried the scallops, clam strips, fish sandwich, clam chowder, the fries, the coleslaw, and I'm sure I've forgotten something else. We have been very pleased with everything. When visiting in-season, it's best to get to the restaurant before 5pm. Parking fills up and the line can get long. In late October or early November it is much easier to get a table. Try this place once and I can guarantee you'll be planning a return trip.

    First, thank you for staying open into the off season!!…read more I just happened across Fisherman's Catch and what a treat it was. I had the whole lobster (1.25lbs) and fried whole belly clams. The meal was absolutely delicious. The service and people were super nice, that includes the server Ani and the kitchen staff. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and fresh. I'm excited to return here some day. What a great meal.
