Went bold and had some seafood. Sampled the fish and chips, chicken tenders and lobster roll thanks to my family. Lobster roll was awesome. The fnc was yummy, batter was good, fish great. Chips/fries were good for them being thin. They had that McD’s shape but 10 times better! Tenders were great!
I had the local brew, the citrus one. Nothing to write home about that. Had the lobster bisque and butterfly shrimp. Both were fabulous, but the batter was good, not great!
View on the deck is incredible! Service was snappy and friendly!

Very popular restaurant, we arrived just at the time! There was a long waiting line when we left. The fried oysters were very nice, they were soft and fresh. I like the steamer as well! Really nice view, you can see the waves coming upwards to the window height!

Tucked away from the tourist crowds, this local seafood restaurant sits just before the remains of Fort Sewall. It offers a stunning view of Marblehead Harbor and the world-renowned Corinthian Yacht Club across the bay. Popular with locals, the restaurant serves a wide variety of fresh, flavorful dishes—an excellent spot to enjoy both the food and the scenery.

They were very busy when we arrived so it took some time to get a table and our food. Worth the wait though. My friend has the fish and chips. I had the fried clams. Both were amazing. Views were serene.

Get a seat overlooking the harbor with a spectacular view! Fabulous fresh seafood- none fresher- in a cozy atmosphere. Wait for your “first come, first serve” table in their bar, but tables turn fast, so it won’t be too long! This is a local haunt that everyone should visit!

Very cute little place. It’s smaller so it gets loud. It’s a neat setting in a pretty old building right on the water. Views are great! There is seating outside as well. We got clam chowder and the lobster bisque and it was great! Fried haddock au gratin was very good. We also got the fried platter that had shrimp, haddock, clams, fries and onion rings. The batter was light and everything was very tasty. We also tried the steamed mussels. I wasn’t a fan of the mussels but thats just me so I can really speak on if they are good or not. The good was very good! Great seafood spot.

If you want a great spot for excellent traditional seafood served with a smile and attentiveness, Barnacle is the spot. It’s authentic, waterside with a view, and not trying to be anything other than what it’s known for.
We were driving NE and detoured here based on other reviews. It did not disappoint. A welcoming local favorite full of locals, It’s exactly what we wanted.
Alex at the bar was a gem was happy to answer all our questions with a smile.
We tried both the bisque and chowda’. Delicious with considerable seafood.
The lobster roll was better than anticipated and did not feature a ‘big glob of mayo’ as reported by a previous poster. Order with confidence!
The steamers were plentiful, briny and came with wonderful drawn butter.
Big fried scallops were perfectly cooked and tasty.
We tried multiple local beers and walked away happy. Definitely making a return for more of that goodness.

This was a great find while in Boston. We drove over for some lobster and enjoyed their lobster bisque and lobster roll. Everything was so fresh with great taste. So glad to find this right on the inlet with a Waterview. Definitely will come back!

Great portions, yet great quality and an impressive price. They make a fantastic Dark & Stormy (and do NOT skimp on the rum) and witnessing this gem on a weekday it seemed this is definitely where the long-time locals in Marblehead go to unwind. I had the fish sandwich, which is served open-faded with a generous slice of haddock on each side of the bun with cheese melted on top. Fries are shoestring and fried to crispy perfection. You can’t beat the view – we watched a sailing club practicing their tacks and gybes in (what I believed to be) International 420s on a glorious March day.
