Parking was difficult along the road late in the afternoon and you’ll be paying a hefty market price for the seafood, but it is well worth it. Lobster roll had huge chunks of fresh meat, no filler, a toasty bun, and was overall delicious. Take-out at the window was about a ten minute wait and there was plenty of seating at the picnic tables along the water with a picturesque view. Tasty seafood worth the price and the trip; will be back.

Stopped by Evelyn’s for the first time. The clam cakes were great. The “stuffie” stuffed quahog was great as well. The creamy chowder was okay. Added some much needed salt and pepper. Wasn’t too busy when I stopped in. Was quoted 5 minutes and took closer to 20 minutes, which wasn’t a problem since I called ahead and was coming from out of town. The location is on the water and pretty spectacular when the weather cooperates. A little on the pricey side.

The lobster roll was 1000% the best I’ve had thus far, a decently large amount of chunks of lobster, cooked to perfection, served on really tasty bread. Price: came to $36 after tax for 1 lobster roll, worth it!! I recommend to give it a try

So when you pull up you’re greeted by the water, you can dine in or out. We went approx 7p-730p on a Saturday. Wasn’t too busy, weather was perfect to sit outside. We started with the crab cake appy, which was served on a bed of mixed greens. They were nice. Crispy outside, warm inside w/ crab not that filler stuff. lol. For drinks we had some virgin blood orange like spritzer which was refreshing. Our entrees were the lobster chow mein and Lobster roll (with butter) and fries. Both Delish. So.. the chow mein noodles are fried and topped with the lobster and gravy w/ onions and celery. It is a huge portion the only negative is that if your a texture person it doesn’t do well on the reheat. So if you’re not someone to eat the whole portion in one setting I would recommend splitting it. Would’ve loved a little more lobstahhh. Now for the roll, divine. The roll was buttered and toasted. The lobster was tender and warm, not chewy. Fries were freshly fried and crispy. I’d definitely return for the roll and the crabcake, the chow mein, since a bit went to waste, I’d split or omit from my next order, it was still a little something different that I’m glad I tried.

Very fresh seafood & portions were ample. The atmosphere was very nice. (I think next time we’ll sit outside the tent). Service was great, and the prices, I believe, were reasonable given the state of things currently. Would definitely go back again!

Somehow this place got really expensive. Not sure what happened but used to be an affordable friendly place to get good eats. Food isn’t much better than I remember which it is good but for the price I can go elsewhere. Staff is very friendly and the location is nice but I feel the price is a bit high for what you get. Some cheap options on the menu but the good stuff is all $20 or “market rate”.

Good food with a great view! My wife and I shared the fish and chips, and clam cakes with a cup of clam chowder. The fries that came with the fish were a bit soggy for my liking, but the fish and chowder were solid. Wine was a bit steep for what you get. Staff was pleasant and the view of the lake was great.

We had the 2 pound special. Which has fried shrimp, scallops, fish, calamari, whole belly clams, clam cakes, French fries, and onion rings. We took home almost a whole meal for leftover. Can not say enough about the view. Well worth the drive just under an hour. But to sit down and get to take in the water view worth it. You can drive your boat and park it at the dock right in front.

What a jewel in the crown of Tiverton. The server was Jill, whose timing and guest interaction was absolutely perfect. I had a fresh brewed iced tea that was replaced as it was getting low ($2.49 per cup). A good amount of ice making the drink chilled. For apps, My party had 1/2 dozen of the clam cakes, 2 crab cakes in a house made cream horseradish sauce, and onion rings. The onion rings were “golden” brown and you could taste the sweetness of the onion and bitterness of the beer in the batter (A plus). The crab cakes were alright…a little too crisp for my liking (solid B). The meat was not flavorful and the sauce seem to overpower the delicate crab meat. HOWEVER, The clam cakes were absolutely amazing. They were light and airy but chock-full of clams. Really a highlight. Next came the entree of clam roll with hand cut fries. The roll was grilled and overflowing with sweet tender clam strips. Served with tartar sauce that wasn’t overly sweet but had a nice creamy tang. My friends had a fish sandwich. The whole meal came to 77.19. It was so reasonable and so delicious.
