Legal Sea Foods: Easy to enjoy Legal Seafoods

  • I only ate here twice - and I gambled twice.

    First time round I tried 'Spicy Shandong Bluefish' - absolutely gorgeous!

    Second time round I tried the Catfish - again: amazing!

    I had never tried these dishes before and they were gentle on the palate and a real treat - there is also a general platter and an old fashioned 'Cod & Fries' option in case your dad is with you!

    Great food - great prices - enjoy!

    Legal Sea Foods: Great Clam Chower

  • Legal Sea Foods may be a chain, but there's a reason that it is so popular. They really do have the best clam chowder in all of Boston. Union Oyster House is a close second, but nothing tops Legal Sea Foods. You almost always have to wait for a table, but it's well worth it.

    Legal Sea Foods has also opened up mini-branches inside Logan Airport! these are called "Legal Test Kitchen," so if you didn't get your fill of chowda in Boston, or if you're on a layover at Logan, be sure to treat yourself to a bowl in the airport!

    Legal Sea Foods: Lobster dinner

  • The restaurant was reccommend to us by a shopkeeper.
    Abience was nice but not overly fancy. We shared a bowl of clam chowder (Fabulous!!!), lobster tail, and mussles and clams, and corn on the cob. Cost about $35US. Also had martini for $9!!! Wanted to try some seafood, and most was good, but the mussels and clams I could do without. The meal was definetly enough to share! But next time would order my own chowder, 'cause it was amazing! Waitress was alright but I got the impression our service was lacking becuase we were sharing a plate, and so the bill would be less.

    The chowder, hands down! I have never had clam chowder before, but this was thick but not too rich, with nice chunks and no fishy flavor at all. Very nice.

    Legal Sea Foods: Fantastic Lobster
  • Satisfaction:
  • By littlemissneve on June 24, 2005
  • Boston Page by littlemissneve
  • We ate in the Prudential Centre, place was quite busy on the weekend so you get a wee buzzer to hold for waiting.

    Was the only place in boston I found which sold stawberry diaquaries (nowhere else does frozen).

    Service was really good and always ready to help

    Have to get the Lobster Bake where you get some clam choder first, then a big lobster platter with corn, steamers, muscles and clams with a choice of a side dish - great for your first experience of lobster, not too expensive as if you add everything up separate it works out a little dearer. You would have to be really hungry for it or share between two

  • While the ambience was pretty cool, I've had better seafood in the Midwestern US. Truly a disappointment with everything that you hear about Boston seafood. I guess that's what I get for going to a chain.

    Crab cakes were okay.

    Legal Sea Foods: Legal Seafood
  • By TDay on August 24, 2002
  • Boston Page by TDay
  • Good price for the amount of food receive. Quick and friendly service personnel. Daily specials. The seafood come directly from their own fish farms; therefore, it is FRESH.

    Mixed seafood special. Excellent and not expense.
    Make a reservation if planning to eat later than 18:30 hours
    because sometimes the waiting can be more than 30 minutes. Large groups seem to get a table quicker than a couple.

    Our favorite restaurant in Boston is Legal Seafoods, located at the Prudential Center.
    As their motto says, 'if it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal', the fish is fresh and tasty.

    Clam Chowder, by far the best ever.

    The one I went to is the one near the New England Aquarium.

    The food was good, and the service was even better. The waiting staff were all very friendly and helpful.

    There are a lot of legal seafood restaurants in Massachussetts (10, I've heard) and they all have the same great food.

    The new england clam chowder is unmatched anywhere else.

    In general, I'd stick to what they are best known for - seafood!
