Barking Crab, Boston, Massachusetts Restaurant Details

Food:

I was initially skeptical of this place, because of it's reputation as a tourist place.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the food was when I visited.

Raw oysters and a naked lobster roll were what I enjoyed.

Plus, from one side of the restaurant, there is a cool view of the river right outside your window.

Food:

Ohhh, the barking crab! It's such a fun place to hang out. Basically, it's a seafood shack down on the water--the windows are open or plastic (like on a boat to keep the weather out), so the view of the city is great. The beer selection is fun, they have your typical fried seafood dishes. There's an intensely large Lobster that they'll bring out to show you if you're interested (someone else at the resto asked and we were SHOCKED at how big it was). It's just a nice, low-key, seafood place that's perfect for a laid back evening. It is expensive (it's seafood...), and some of the food isn't that great (my lobster roll was nothing to write home about), but it's the vibe that you go for. And that vibe always puts me in a good mood.

Food:

i found it very interesting, nice setting and good food. Not cheap but a nice atmosphere on the river during the summer. Seafood pots and lobster rolls are their signature dishes, both worth trying.

Food:

Pretty good food and beer was cold - service might have been the worst I've ever encountered - server was downright rude - my wife was in the washroom and she wouldn't seat us for a table of 4 - questioned us about why we wanted 4 - where was the 4th etc. Afterwards the server was still unfriendly - weird vibe - whatever - love the people I was with more than I care about the service

Food:

Great spot for some simple seafood, it's a dive inside but on a nice warm day they have fun family style seating at picnic tables, last time I was there I met some lovely people who were having lobster for the first time, I really liked the boiled shrimp, delicious and fresh, bit of a hike to get to
