Wonderful restaurant right off the water. Line to dine in was super long, but they had a super easy take out line. Order electronically, leave phone number to get order when ready (which was about 12 minutes), pick up and go eat right by the water ???? Got the Naked Lobster Roll, Traditional Lobster Roll, and Crab Roll. I recommend any of them!!!! So delicious. The seafood was so fresh. I am from Michigan and love seafood and have never tasted lobster this fresh! Delightful and when we return to Boston in the future, we will be stopping here again ????
A stunning location over looking the harbour, the place is way to busy almost all the time, they don’t take reservations so make sure to go a bit earlier than your dinner time in case you have to wait to be seated. We had Naked lobster, Mac n cheese lobster and grilled salmon the food was delicious and served in short time, we also had lobster tomato cream soup that was a bit too creamy to my taste. For such a restaurant it is a shame that their cutlery ???? is plastic!! The place isn’t cheap yet the food is served to be eaten by a plastic fork and knife that easily broke while sticking it into the salmon!
I'm a Texan who was in Boston for a business trip, so I was eager to get some seafood while I was in town! The Barking Crab was in an awesome location, just on the harbor's walking trail and on the water. The view was increidible, and they had a ton of seating, both indoor and outdoor. I was able to get seated quickly since I was eating alone, but I did notice that there was a line for groups to sit down. But it didn't seem like anyone waited more than 5-10 minutes! The service was decent, but the food incredible. I got the raw oysters, which were fresh and delicious, and the lobster roll. The meal was amazing! It was pricey, but worth it.
