The best seafood I have ever had. I have never had a bad meal at woodmans. They need to double there kitchen to take care of the mile long line out the door though. But it's worth the wait!

We were visiting New England this week and decided to eat at Woodman's, having eaten there often when we lived in Massachusetts up to seven years ago. We remembered the clams there as very crispy, fresh and tender.



This time we paid a lot for clam rolls, and we got mostly large, tough clams and greasy onion rings. There was sand in the clams. This was a true disappointment, especially since there were other clam shacks to choose from. We'll never go back to Woodman's.
