The Original Seafood Restaurant took us back to our childhood when drive in restaurants were popular. At this location one my dine in or outside. The food is cooked to order and hot. We especially liked the fries which were hot and crispy.

It’s worth a drive from northeast CT for real…. I have contemplated it honestly. The fried seafood anything… is the best. Next to any outstanding seafood shack, restaurant, whatever it ranks on top period. We ate there 5 times in 9 days couldn’t get enough!! The service was outstanding as well so fast and friendly ❤️

New Ownership With Disappointing Burgers. We have been long time customers of this casual dining restaurant for at least 50 years. While they still have very good service, great fried seafood (clams, shrimp, scallops, etc.) and onion rings, we have seen a recent and disappointing change in the hamburgers under the new ownership this summer. The burgers used to be a highlight for us, but at our last visit (August 2023), they had a larger, flatter burger that does not measure up. We asked for the burgers to be cooked medium rare, and the burgers we got were medium well, and frankly with the new patties they are using, it would be difficult to cook them medium rare. The fries also have some type of coating on them that we don’t care for. We hope the new owners will reconsider the burgers they are serving if you want to maintain the loyalty and repeat business of your customers.

We loved our meal at The Original Seafood Restaurant. We had the freshest and most delicious whole body, fried clams, broiled scallops, French fries, and a nice thick and yummy frappe. Everything was super fresh and cooked perfectly. The owner checked on us to make sure we were happy. The whole team was friendly and you could tell, people love working here. It was an all-around great experience. Wish more restaurants were like this!

I have been coming here since 2017. Every year when we return to the Cape, no matter which part we are staying, we make it a point to visit this place. There are tons of clam shack type restaurants, but original seafood is by far and away the best that we’ve had. It’s worth the drive from any of the towns even if you aren’t staying nearby.

Wow this place was delicious! Best onion rings we’ve ever had, very clammy chowdah, and enormous portions. If you want scrumptious seafood with no frills, don’t waste time just come here. Will definitely be back!

Portions of fries and onion rings were huge a bit lacking on clams and scallops

Best fried seafood on the cape, my wife loves the scallops and I love the Oysters. Lobster roll was also perfect. This is the spot to go if you are looking for delicious seafood

Fresh and delicious seafood with reasonable prices and quick service. The fried seafood isn’t heavy and the portions are reasonable. They also offer non-fried options and the grilled salmon was flavorful and delicious. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available and they will call your number when the food is ready. A great stop for seafood on the Cape.

The freshest, most tender, delicious, lightly breaded clam strips I’ve ever had. And I’ve been eating clam strips for over 60 years. The onion rings were equally as flaky and delicious.
