Drydock Cafe

Get the clam chowder and you'll experience the freshest clams ever. Clean and friendly. Simple and steady. Try it you'll love it.

The service was fast and friendly, but the food is nothing to write home about. The bacon was probably something like Oscar Meyer, and French toast, just made from basic white bread. Not awful, but not great. Just filling.

*2.5/5 maybeHad high hopes for the fish and chips given that it's Boston, but my takeout lunch did not deliver. Fish was limp -- not soggy by any means but also not crisp either. Fries and coleslaw were standard. The waitstaff was friendly enough and the restaurant itself seemed like a well-visited cafeteria, but this particular meal left me wanting a lot more.

This place was nothing fancy, but really hit the spot. No fuss breakfast for two for under $12.00? I'm sold. Nothing much more to say here, but I was very impressed. Sometimes you just need a solid place with no frills to get the job done.

I love the dry dock, fresh seafood and great specials. Always a good to spot for a fresh healthy lunch.

Yep, another shining example of "locals know best" as a bunch of us congregated for a mini cross country reunion. Thank you Bostonian friends for suggesting this unassuming yet memorable seafood restaurant. The restaurant sits just off the waterfront and in an office building. Easy to miss but do yourself a favor and don't!Our party of eight had late dining reservations as we were waiting for one car to arrive from New York. Besides appetizers, our party's orders were probably the last one to be put into the kitchen. So, not surprisingly, with the freshest of seafood being served here, many things became unavailable. Only two fried fisherman's platter, no grilled seafood sampler platters, we were lucky to get the last two broiled scallop entrees. The other four opted for their fresh fresh fish entrees of swordfish or haddock. I sneaked a bite(s) of the broiled haddock and it was truly heaven in mah mouth! Truth be told, I was already pretty full from the most delicious fried clams, calamari, fried haddock appetizers and cocktails.Would I come back here again? Prices are more than reasonable. Food delicious. Company memorable. Absolutely would !!

Simple cafe with great food. The chowder was very flavorful and the parmigiana chicken sandwich was huge. Perhaps too big. But a nice find. Service was friendly.

Not bad for a lunch spot. I had the fried scallops and clam chowder. It really hit the spot. It took awhile to get my food. They had a lot of take out orders.

I don't love the ambiance. It's got a very "officey" feel to it.The seafood, however, is on point and the Haddock Reuben, which is often a special, is messy and also kind of life changingly good.Also, I LOVE the tartar sauce. I noticed someone else thought it was bad which I think is just nutso.Okay - off to order takeout.

My husband and I ate here twice. The first time we both had chowder, husband liked it, I thought it had a little off taste. I had a broiled shrimp main and husband had a broiled fish main. It was not bad, fries weren't great and cold slaw had a weird taste. Food okay, prices reasonable. We tried it again, husband had shrimp main and I tried the fried clams at market price and I will always ask from now on, turned out to be $35.00 for about eight clams. Now they were no clams I am familiar with because they had a penile pultrusion the breading didn't stick to. I tried to eat them but they tasted like mud. Worst clams I've ever had. The young server was not great either. Whatever you do stay away from the clams.
