Legal Sea Foods is such a solid go-to in Boston, whether you’re stopping in for a full meal or just swinging by for happy hour. Classic, reliable, and always hits the spot.
Their lobster roll is hands down one of the best — loaded with fresh lobster, perfectly dressed, and simply delicious. The clam chowder is rich, ultra-creamy, and packed with clams in every bite (exactly how New England chowder should be).
Today I tried the haddock, and wow. The portion was huge — easily close to ¾ of a pound. Perfectly grilled with seasoned breadcrumbs on top, flavorful, tender, and cooked just right.
For dessert, I went with a lobster tail. Loved the overall experience — super flaky and crispy on the outside. The shell was a bit thicker than expected, but still had that signature crunch, with a creamy layer tucked between the outer shell and the filling.

Came up from Georgia to see family. Decided to have a late lunch here with my mother. We got the fisherman’s platter to share. There was more than enough food! We had to sit at a counterheight table as the only available regular height was right by the door. It was too cold for my elderly mother. They do not have very many tables that can accommodate a handicapped person. She did ok with the countertop but I could tell she wasn’t comfortable. Service was ok, it felt rushed and not very friendly. I chalked it up to it being Boston and I am used to the South. The food was good. I would go again next time I am in the area.

9/30, It was a Tuesday, I got emails for the $1 oyster, also saw the Tuesday $1 Oyster sign at the front entrance. Of course, I would go for the oyster! I told the waitress that we are coming solely for the oysters, as we already had supper. We ordered two dozen oysters first, along with other food items. When we’re done, we were asked if we would like the check, but since the oyster was fresh, I ordered one dozen more. All this time, the waitress knowingly not mentioned to me that it is not $1 oyster yet . And of course, my oyster bill was 3.5 times then I was expecting ! I give her the regular 18% tips, as it was part of my fault of not reading the fine print. But I thought I should let Google review knows my experience.

Stopped in here for lunch in July 2025. If you are not from Boston area you definitely want to take in Legal Sea Food. It is a fixture and a good eating. This was in Dedham. Please note, it was scheduled for renovation after July 2025 so may or may not be the same as when I visited. The food is predictably good. Service appropriate for the flair. It exceeded expectations and I do always enjoy eating at Legal. I would recommend this as a place to try. This Dedham location is a in an open air mall and nicely configured. Parking is available in the ramp or surface. Surface spaces are challenging during rush periods. The other Legal Sea Food locations could be a tourist trap so can be very busy. This location wasn’t busy and was able to be sat right away. Definitely will revisit.

On this visit I had quite a few things outside my usual fare at Legal’s
I had two Sushi rolls 8pc each, The Red Dragon Roll and The Firecracker roll. Paired with a 9oz glass of Mountain Cuvee.
For dessert I tried their lobster tail*, with coffee, but the star in my opinion was the coffee. Better than I was expecting.
*Side note on the dessert it didn’t detract from my overall experience.
it wasn’t bad but, I dont recommend it. The lobster tail ( dessert) its a creme filled puffed pastry with strawberries.
It was hard to chew, hard on my teeth. I had it in my mind that the dessert was supposed to be similar raspberry turnover or a Pillsbury biscuit in that it might be soft, crispy and flaky. Instead, the mouthfeel had a pasta that didn’t finish cooking or the burnt crust of a pie feeling, hard but edible. The pasty cream filling was good and so were the strawberries. The dessert itself i’d give a 5/10.

Kristen was our server on New Year’s Day. She was bright and chipper and excited to be there. And was really great.
We had the lunch lobster roll, the lunch shrimp roll, pokey and popcorn shrimp. All of it was spectacular! There were big chunks of lobster in the lobster roll and I certainly wasn’t expecting that. The popcorn shrimp tasted way better than anything I’ve had before, and we travel and eat a lot.
I had a pretty extensive drink menu, including some beautiful nonalcoholic cocktails. It wasn’t super crowded and it was quiet enough to be able to talk which I always appreciate. We will definitely be back!

Joshua T. is attentive and spectacular as a server. The Lady Bug Roll and traditional lobster roll are top notch. Both offer super fresh seafood and amazing flavor. I loved the Legally Hazy IPA as well! Patio was perfect and all was great from greeting to exit!

My first visit to Boston i came to this restaurant; the atmosphere was amazing. The food was super as I visit Boston for the 2time I planned to revisit again; as I did the online booking showed only few tables available “fully booked “type …. upon arrival for dinner place was pretty much empty. The welcoming was not so welcoming .
The Waiter was nice and polite ; but the food the calamari were afwall ; the black cod was full of oil ; gave few bites but was impossible to eat ;the potatoes judge for yourself! Now the clams linguini was really tasty if wasn’t for the amount of sauce in it ..I ate what I could from the top “dry part and few bites from the bottom sauce what later on made me really sick ..was all night with stomach pain . Tuna tartar and the shrimp cevice was good . And decided not have any desert as the desapointmtent was already enough. I wish I have read previous reviews before booking…most complaints are about how food declined …

This is a great restaurant with so many great choices for all tastes. Our group had the Fisherman’s Platter, Clam Chowder, Lobster Roll, Rainbow Trout, and the Crab Cake Combo. We also enjoyed the Red Sangria and Sake. It was all very good. The service was excellent. Great atmosphere.
