“This place was recommended to us by a local antiques dealer. What an incredibly unexpected and wonderful experience. We had lobster rolls, which were to die for. We sat upstairs, where there is a beautiful view. The staff was amazingly gracious despite our traveling with a dog. Highly recommend and look forward to our next visit.”

“Great service and great food (for an extremely reasonable price). The fried clams are awesome. This is a real local spot and a great little hole in the wall. If it were 2016 I wouldn’t have been surprised to have seen Anthony Bourdain sitting at a table.”

“aka Mobil--this is my go-to for fuel in the area. Lots of clean fuel bays year round and a great supermarket with clean restrooms to use. Love the price and proximity to where I live.”

“I stop in here 3 days a week on my way to work to buy two jugs of water, a coffee and a questionable breakfast sandwich. Usually around 15 bucks. I don't expect much from a gas station. They make sandwiches and pizza to order. Unless it's 9:03am in which case they can longer make an Egg Sandwich because they "are done with breakfast." The older woman making the sandwiches said it was fine and gave me a look like, "Of course I can make you an Egg Sandwich." But the younger woman was having none of that. Since my only other option at that time was Mozzarella sticks and some Pizza with no less than 4 meats on it, I left and I won't be back. I walked out and a guy that over heard the conversation said. "Hey Bub, that was weird... I woulda made ya the Egg Sandwich."Lets see. 15 bucks, three days a week. Over a year... That's over $2000. That was one costly egg sandwich. I hear the owner Ryan is a good guy so I'm still giving 5 stars. :-)”
