One of my all time FAVORITE spots!!Phenomenally simple, yet AWESOME. Since 1971 The Place has been serving up a simple short menu - in a simple, cool outdoor spot . Wonderful #clams casino and #LOBSTER
The food is really surprisingly good. I had the salmon and vege kabob . Everything is ala cart. BYOB . Extremely casual ... good for a Saturday afternoon stop after exploring all day.
Absolutely an amazing spot to eat and hang out. From seafood to bomb ass barbecue food, The Place is definitely the place to be. It's BYOB and anything else you'd like to bring for a good time.
Roasted lobsters , clams and corn are excellent. We like to go at least once per summer (it is over an hour away)
The roasted clam special is what all the cool kids (with good taste) are getting.
the most simply perfect catfish filet in the world. Like eating a fork-full of butter
Incredible!! Get the corn on the cob and oyster special, then sit back and prepare for the food coma!
Q) What's better than putting your rump on a stump and eating clams special and a roasted lobster ? A) Nothing
Charming, casual outdoor ambiance. Be sure to try the roasted clams and corn !
Clams , shrimp , corn , veggiebob, white birch beer , atmosphere
EVERYTHING!!
Clams ! Steamers! Make sure to BYOB !
The shrimp come in the shell with legs and the intestinal tract. No butter. Fair warning.
i agree about the skewers .. I also recommend corn on the cob. You may bring your own salad && BYOB !
The roast clam special is awesome. Get at least one order!
Awesome Byob
Clam special. Just do it.
Bring your own Booze. Or tablecloth and candles. Or other food. Bring anything!!
Use a bunch of napkins to hold the corn by the husk..it's delicious!
Get the dozen clams roasted. There's no way you could cook clams better.
The best roasted corn you can find!!!
Clams clams
Expensive corn . I get a dozen ears for $2.00 @ the farm stand.
Everthing:-)
Fire Roasted clams
Get the steamers!
the veg skewers are great for vegetarians
Not the best place for vegetarians except the veggie-bob
Below average quality food.
This place is heaven on earth. You must go!! Bring bug spray and sweater
One of the best, if not the best, hot Lobster rolls I have had. It also helps to have a gorgeous view on the deck and lovely people who work there. - Jessica Shapiro
We love this restaurant! Lathe food is fresh and plentiful and the pricing is reasonable!! - DeWayne
My ex & I got food poisoning here one time. Will never go back. Be careful what you eat. - Courtney Wade
The chicken salad is amazing. Their wine selection is great. And one of the few places in CT that sells wine on Sundays! - Emily P.
