We are a very regular delivery customer of Cove surf and turf, and have noticed that recent orders have fallen short on quality. The latest order of haddock bites was not what we have become accustomed to. The amount of fish was small in each piece, the the breading was excessively thick and chewy and the entire batch was overcooked. We recognize that things like this happen occasionally, but if the food comes out similar to what we’ve just experienced, we will stop buying from them.

I order the steak tips wanted medium rare no mushrooms with mashed and broccoli. Steak tips were more than Well done had mushrooms and the broccoli was on verge of going bad.
2nd meal was a burger medium rare again well done.
Got order of onion rings asked for light batter I was told yes and got thick batter anyway.

While visiting a friend in New Bedford I thought why not get some seafood being so close to the water I assumed it would be fresh and well prepared. I was very much disappointed. And I only had 1 shrimp. The calamari was the worst I had ever had. No seasoning is not a good idea.. light seasoning always work. The only thing I enjoyed was the fries. Sad really. I ordered take out, the staff was so nice I tipped. Maybe a new chef…updated recipes…
Maybe it was just an off day…

Follow-up visit for some take out seafood on a typical busy Friday night during lent in a heaviliy catholic region. Order was ready per the quoted time. Have had to wait extra in the past, so be prepared. Went with an extra large order of fish and chips and they were really good. Not greasy, definitely tasted fresh. The fries were even surprisingly good, not soggy, still had some crunch despite the take out. Have had Clam chowder and stuffed quahog from here as well. They were okay. Place has a lot of awards, did see a lot of 2nd place finishes and a couple wins. They are definitely one of the better seafood restaurants in the area.

The atmosphere is nothing special, but we had a fantastic lunch here today! The clam chowder and fried clams were “best in class” — chef’s kiss! Lobster rolls, fries and coleslaw were also great! Service was prompt and hospitable. Highly recommend!

This was Thanksgiving dinner delivered to me. The margarita was excellent. The turkey, dressing, butternut squash and cranberry sauce were delicious. The mash potatoes were dry and needed more gravy. The dinner roll is not worth mentioning. The apple pie got a little scrambled but it looks good.

I really wanted this to be a good place! I live in the area; and have been dining at this location for decades; through a few ownerships. I’ve been here 4 times; under the current ownership. On my first experience, the waitress was great and the food was good. The last 3 times I’ve been the food was awful, and the staff was inattentive. I wont be going back. The atmosphere is not the problem with this restaurant! People expect the nostalgic Cove experience. Bad food and bad service drove your customers away!

A nice local place with the expected New Bedford seafood plus plenty of other interesting menu items. I really like local places and this fits the bill. Friendly staff and a good menu. Seating is basic and a bit limited, but they do take reservations.
Against our better judgement 😉 we just had to try the Titanic Seaford Platter. It was more than enough for two. I had a good variety of seafood and was well prepared. Next time we will try one of the specials.
I grade on a curve. If you like this type of place, it’s a good one.
