Everything was fabulous! I love having a great seafood restaurant a mile down the road from home. I only have a photo of mine to share, but my family said their meals were delicious too. Ok, I'm revising my review from several months ago. Everything was wonderful then, but tonight, it was hardly edible. I got cole slaw instead of carrots. It used to be delicious. It wasn't even chopped enough to eat. The rice pilaf tasted like it was old and reheated and it was still cold. As for the baked haddock, yuk is all I can say. It was cold and tasted horrible. My cats wouldn't even eat it. So, obviously you have a new cook that isn't very good. I tried to call and speak personally to you, but all I got was a busy signal for 3 mins. Anyway, I'm sorry, but I won't be back. So much for the same food as fabulous Pete and Henry's was. Surely thought I'd found them again for a while anyway.

This has to be one of the BEST seafood restaurants my family and I have had. They have GREAT food, service is amazing super friendly, the quantity of food you get is incredible, great prices for the food you get and overall an amazing experience! In the photo I shared we had ordered haddock, fried calamari and clam strips... usually restaurants never give a good amount of seafood and you barely get any, this place outdid themselves. I would rate this place higher than 5 stars if I could! Thank you guys ***EDIT*** WE JUST ORDERED SHRIMP SCAMPI AND IT WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD IVE EVER TASTED. NO JOKE IT WAS FOOD ORGASM. THIS WILL BE OUR NEW FAVORITE DISH AND WILL BE ORDERING FROM THEM EVERYTIME. THEY NEVER EVER DISAPPOINT. IF YOU ARE CURIOUS TO ORDER FROM THEM, JUST DO IT!!! I WOULD RATE 10 STARS IF I COULD. BEST FOOD AROUND HERE. BEST CLAM CHOWDER. ON TOP OF THAT THIS WAS ONLY $38 FOR 2 PLATES WITH GARLIC BREAD INCLUDED.

The food here is great. I've never had something for from this place that was disappointing.

The food was delicious, the prices were super affordable and were great for the size of the plates, and everyone inside felt like family. I highly recommend going to Olde Time New England Seafood for a fantastic meal with service to match!

Food and service were great! Hubby and I had soft drinks and split a bucket of steamers and the deluxe fisherman’s platter. The portions sizes were decent. We were barely able to finish and the bill came to $55. We’ll be back!

It was a very quiet and cozy atmosphere. We had Becca who was amazing. Very fun and personable. The food was perfectly cooked. My son had the chicken tender dinner with onion rings and fries and I had the haddock sandwich with maple glazed carrots and rice. Prices were very fair for the portions received. We will absolutely return.
