The food there has supeeeeeer large portion, love that! For reference, we were a party of 3, and we couldn’t finish any of the dishes so we packed and took it home!
Grilled octopus is amazing,
onion rings is amazing,
and the i-forgot-the-name mussel shrimp tomato pasta is super super good.

Living in Mass I have high standards for my fried seafood and ever since finding this hole in the wall gem of a spot I literally won’t eat my fried seafood anywhere else because no one in all of New England can compare! Immaculate food beyond delicious reasonable and just perfect. Start with the fish chowder because if you don’t you’re a fool. Best scallops wrapped in bacon anywhere. And as I said it’s all about the fried. The Pete’s platter is my always go to. Huge scallops. Juicy shrimps. Clams with belly’s so big and fresh and perfectly crispy. Calamari for days. The whitest most flavorful haddock. I dream of this fish!

Sooo Good! We had the haddock sandwich and the fish & chips. The portions are huge (easily shareable). Fish was very lightly battered and so flakey! No alcohol on the menu. Service was excellent, the are quick and attentive. Solid place for dinner.

My party of 5 came here after a long day walking around Salem. The traffic was a nightmare to get to Quincy so we decided to go north and wait it out. The menu for the Causeway in our AirBnB had “where the locals go” and “huge portions” handwritten on it. I got Spaghetti and Meatballs, my mother in law ordered the Haddock au Gratin, and my wife had fried clams. The food was amazing and the portions were huge. It was a relaxing no frills place. They were busy but our food came out in a reasonable time and the server was attentive. Highly recommend!

We ate our dinner at The Causeway Restaurant at the night of Tuesday, September 30th.
After visited Halibut Point State Park and amazed to see the narrow neighborhood to drive through Gloucester, we were very hungry and excited to drink beers. But unfortunately, they don’t have a license to serve any alcohol. I understand and I’m fine with that. We got a good and friendly server. I didn’t catch her name. Dark long haired woman server.
We got in and there’s a plenty of people inside to eat their food. The noise was loud but we can talk in a loud voice together. It was about to go getting busy around the dinner time.
The food was worth it! I got my Chicken Gorgonzola. It’s freaking fantastic and delicious! Even the gentleman sit across from us who was curious and asked about my food. It’s a real Italian food! Great place to eat!

Strong 4 from my side, propably would be better if id eat at the spot, but had to do pick up and ate after 10minutes.
Food was still hot, fries were nice and crunchy but shrimps kinda tasted tasteless and were like a ‘gum’.
Tartar sauce was amazing.

It was pur first time at The Causway. It was PACKED when we went on a Friday night and we were lucky to get bar seats.
The restaurant is on the small size and is known for its LARGE portions. We found this to be TRUE. I ordered the grilled lemon pepper salmon with broccoli and asparagus. I’ve never been given such a HUGE piece of salmon. It was tasty but a bit on the oily side.
It was VERY loud but the staff were always attentive. I would not say this is a good place for a date.
They do have takeout and sitting at the bar area in front of the kitchen have us a really look on how they operate. Everyone is always moving at moderate to high speed.
Overall, it was a good place to get a huge portion of food, but I probably wouldn’t dine-in again because it was too loud and it was difficult to hear what my partner was saying. There is the option for take out, to consider.

The atmosphere here is so warm and welcoming — it truly feels like a family reunion.
The portions are huge! If you’re a big eater, go for it solo, but otherwise it’s perfect to share.
We tried the linguine with clam sauce, both red and white, and they were excellent. Plenty of clams! The white sauce had a noticeable lemony tang, which made it bright and refreshing.
The calamari was great too — crispy, with small, tender squid pieces that still had the skin on.
Would definitely come back again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for hearty portions and a cozy, homey vibe!

The food was outstanding I had the fried clams. They were plentiful. Service was excellent and atmosphere was nice. They gave a real good portion . My son had shrimp scampi and said it was delicious.
