The Freshest and Best Experience! Always My First Stop When I Come To Mass even if New Bedford is not on my list! I Order The Fresh Fried Scallops and Shrimp Po’Boy! Always hits the spot! They have alcoholic beverages available as well! Quick fast good service! Friendly staff!

We have visited twice in two years. I cannot recall our last experience but I recall the manager was super friendly and welcoming. I do want to preface this by saying my partner and I conduct a “lobster roll crawl” each year, mostly on Cape Cod and Maine. We love diversity in dining and try all kinds of rolls. Our preference is sweet tender fresh lobster meat CT style or brown butter. My partner was dying to try Whale’s Tail.

Very nice place right in the New Bedford harbor. Self service, low key, nice ambience. The lobster roll with fries was pretty good. Yes, it’s expensive but nobody said lobster is cheap. Tip: Try their house-made lemonade, with lavender if that’s available.

Had a pick up next door as a truck driver…walked over got lobster roll and clam chowder with lavender lemonade to try. Lobster roll was great! But the clam chowder…mind blowing! If you dont know how lavender lemonade tastes.. like I didnt know..it tastes just how it smells! Deliciously weird! Try it! Def recommend the place worth the price! They also have some yummy drinks and coctails 🙂

We ended up eating here after trying to get table to no avail at The Black Whale. Food was super fresh – made my fish & chips right there. Staff wiped off each picnic table. We’re glad we ended up there.

Awesome seafood shack, one of the best butter lobster roll in Massachusetts. Scallop basket was nice too. Good drink options. Nicely located next to fish boats. I love the settings.

Delicious seafood at a nice waterfront location. Great customer service and very clean. We ordered the scallop basket and the fish and chips and both were excellent. The Whale’s Tail is beyond what you would expect from your typical clam bar. We will definitely go back and try something else on the menu.
