Seafood Sam's at the Sandwich Marina
Seafood Sam’s is my favorite place in Sandwich to get a seafood platter. Whenever I’m out walking on a summer day, that’s what I end up saying at least half a dozen times. Tourists are always stopping their car and rolling down their window and shouting, “Do you live here. Where do YOU eat.” And it’s the truth. For a reasonably priced seafood meal and fast service, eat at Seafood Sam’s. Do I only eat there, no, but I eat there alot.
Tak a look to the left and you can see the back of the Seafood Sam’s in Sandwich, with the outdoor balcony. This is the perfect, family friendly seafood restaurant.
(True story. My mom passed out from dehydration after a colonoscopy and was rushed back to the hospital by ambulance. After spending the morning being rehydrated, she was sent home with orders to eat stuff like tea and toast. Not my mother! I asked her what would taste good and she said, “Fish and chips from Seafood Sam’s.” So that’s what we did. Not what the doctor ordered, but she enjoyed every mouthful.)
You can call ahead and have your meal waiting. Seafood Sam’s in Sandwich is located at the Sandwich Marina and Canal Recreation Area. So you can grab your meal and go sit on a bench overlooking the marina and enjoy the scenery and a great meal. If you decide to eat at the restaurant, there is no table service. You walk in and place your order, they give you a red lobster gizmo and it beeps when you’re order is ready. Don’t worry if there’s line. These guys are service pros. It moves quite quickly. While you’re waiting you can scope out a table. If the weather is good there’s an outdoor balcony.
Seafood prices change every day with what the fishermen catch. So I can’t quote you a meal price. But generally Seafood Sam’s prices are as good as they get.
In addition to the Sandwich location, you’ll also find Seafood Sam’s restaurants in Falmouth and Yarmouth. The views in the other locations aren’t as good, but the food is. Sometimes they close in the winter for a while, so it’s best to call in the off-season and see if they’re open – 508-888-4629. If you need a street address for your GPS, it’s 6 Coast Guard Road, Sandwich, MA.
