Went to a drag brunch and had an absolute blast. The cinnamon rolls were decadent. The oysters topped with Tuna... I could eat those forever. Entertainment was phenomenal and so creative. Will definitely be coming back

After walking in it instantly was a cool atmosphere. They have a lot of vibrant wall art and there’s even a spot to look at live lobsters. We ordered the clam chowder, crab potstickers and the fish and chips. All were good. I personally am not a lover of fish (not from Boston) but my wife loved the fish and chips. I could tell the fish was very fresh. The fries were delicious. Overall a positive experience for a fair price

October 10, 2023: Finally tried the butter pan-seared lobster, the large-sized version. Had the kale instead of the corn. Amazing. Delicious, but couldn't get all the meat out. Needed shellfish scissors or the restaurant should have better cracked the lobster. The shellfish cracker the restaurant provided couldn't crack through the tough shell. I have been coming to Summer Shack since the very beginning. This was the first time I ate at a standard table instead of at the bar. The regular table was much more comfortable than the bar seats. My server was lovely, but he struggled with English comprehension. I asked for seafood scissors and he said he didn't know ehat those were. I then asked for a shellfish pick and he brought over several toothpicks.
Old Review: Superb food and service. I've had the fish and chips, raw oysters, clam chowder, ice cream, and they are all great. Nice ambience and comfortable seating.

Had one of the new Tin Fish selections (Spanish in olive oil) and oh my, that was very tasty! Would definitely get again and have been telling people about it. Wish the staff had been more knowledgeable about what it contained but I understand it was still pretty new to the menu

Food was delicious and atmosphere is cool with a calm ambience. But the service just sucks. However I think it’s just the server we had. He didn’t seem like he understood English well. We ordered stuff clear as day but when it came out it was wrong. It was like he didn’t hear us or understand us.
I clearly asked for truffle fries and even pointed to it on menu. But he brought my regular fries. Same with my wife’s order. She ordered a burger with onions and clearly asked him for onions. No onions came out. Then they brought us pickled onions. If you have choices then tell us.
Maybe I’ll come again and pick another waiter if I get that same guy again.
On a side note the whiskey pour was generous. So that’s a plus.

Oysters were good. Lobster roll was one of the better ones that I've had. Service was a bit slow but wait staff were very friendly. I would dine there again.

Buds and I are in Boston for the weekend. Looking for a great place to grab a beer, some oysters, and some lobster rolls close to our hotel. Food was really good. Lobster roll with butter is great! Oysters are so good as well. We sat at the bar, the bartender was a rockstar. What a great place with awesome atmosphere. Really matches the city vibes. Boston is really an amazing place to visit.

Love the atmosphere. Clean, casual sports bar feel. With good food. This wasn’t luxury fine dining. The oysters and lobster were high quality.
Chowder was tasty but a little runny for my taste. The warm lobster roll and chips were good but lacking seasoning. A little bland for me. It was good. I would come back for sure.
