Best WLM Reviews

Stopped in on a Thursday. Early-bird Specials were several $10.95 options. Ordered the Haddock platter which came with salad, generous portion of perfectly-cooked lightly battered haddock, 2 sides, rolls, butter, and dessert. All for $10.95! Service was excellent. Food was hot and fresh. Dining room could use some updating. We'll gladly be back!
Great seafood and a good quantity for the price! It was a little dark in the dining area but eventually our eyes adjusted. The setting feels like a dock house in Maine, painted wood and seafaring ornaments displayed. I would absolutely go again if I am in need of some fresh seafood!
So delicious I can’t even begin to describe it. CJs is absolutely a hidden gem in this little town. I got Lobster Mac and cheese and the lunch clam strips. So fresh, so delicious. The lobster Mac and cheese seems to be baked with breadcrumbs on top, but it’s unlike any baked Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. It was cheesy, wet/far from dry in the best way, buttery. And of course there was huge pieces of lobster in it! I was shocked. 100% worth the price tag. The best lobster Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. And I was craving clam strips that day, they did not disappoint. It came with two sides so I went with a potato and fries. Both great! The fries were cooked great and well a potato is hard to get wrong! The clam strips have great seasoning balance. And I was shocked to taste the tartar sauce! So so good it tastes homemade. Delicious. The lady who helped us at the counter was a sweetheart. My favorite little hidden gem of a spot. I couldn’t recommend more
The atmosphere has been tricky from the beginning, however, the food is always amazing. There service was great also this time. They definitely could use another waitress and another person to clear tables and help with the cooking.
Food was excellent, service was wonderful, the building is a bit outdated though.
Great service, it's just the food. Got clam chowder and it tasted like potato water. There was no flavor to it. The stuffed cod was incredibly fishy. The stuffed shrimp was more like slop of breading with pieces of shrimp. The fried fish was great. The onion rings were nice and crispy but were incredibly bland. The lobster was very good. Tasted great. I really want to love this place. I see great potential here. The fact that the seafood is fresh daily is amazing. I love it.
We stood by a sign that said "please wait for hostess"...after a minute someone yelled to us to "just come on in." And that was the last interaction we had. No menu, no greeting, not even an "I'll be right with you ". They had 2 servers, and 2 parties of 2 people each, and they couldn't handle the 3rd party to enter. I had heard good things about the food, but didn't get to try any. We left after 7 minutes of being ignored.
Went recently with my mother and cousin. The food was pretty good but the service was absolutely terrible. I got the surf and turf lobster and prime rib, my mother ordered a burger, asked for no mayo, one of the buns was slathered with mayo, we waited a half hour before we even got to order our drinks, the waitress seemed to pay more attention to everyone else (3 other tables) was not very busy but she could not seem to check in. I'm not one to write a bad review, but when confronted she stormed around the restaurant In a tempertantrum. The whole time I was there it felt like a episode of kitchen nightmares.
