Best WLM Reviews

The looks of this place is deceiving there is no prices on the menu just pieces of electrical tape over the prices. I don’t care what it cost. It was the best fried scallops I ever had. They were sweet and perfect. We also got the clam box. It was $39 for that but also some of the best clams I ever had also and I’ve been to a lot of places . we ate in the car which is fine there are picnic tables there to eat outside there service was fast . I would highly recommend
First time here and I was told a nice story about how this place has been around for 4 generations since 1948, women run and owned. Amazing & lovely woman who is very proud of her and her families Ceal's (her Grandmother's name), in both the food and her family.
I'm super picky, and if I eat fried food I avoid places that use cornmeal/hardened & greasy coatings.
I ordered a small fried clam of which are incredibly fresh, with a nice, generous serving. The pic is missing two clams, I couldn't help myself.
The coating is nice and light, no cornmeal that I can tell thankfully. Hints of garlic with the equally as delicious, fresh, homemade tartar sauce. So flavorful. These ladies go all out. Five stars, I highly recommend giving this place a try.
Started coming here in the 60's and now I'm in my 60's and still coming. This was my mother's absolute favorite place for fried clams.I hesitate to review this roadside gem for fear that it would get too busy.Even if that happens it will always be worth the wait.That blonde guy that drives around the country reviewing places like this is missing out. That's just as well ,because I have been told he's kind of a jerk.,(sorry).Anyway...this is the place that if anyone has not tried fried clams, should start here.This is the real "Ceal Team." For all you that absolute love to slam a place when you feel something wasn't right.....try going up to the window and talk to them.They will fix it.Try standing in their shoes on a hot July day for what is most likely a 16 hour plus day.If you can't do that , don't go away mad...just go away.???? Cheers to Ceal's
Great Fried Clams ohhhh so delicious great people great food make sure you stop, So much better than Browns & Markey's ........
Hadn’t been there in years. We stopped for lobster roles, which are “market price.” Now mind you, lobster as of this writing is less than $5 per pound. But we paid around $31 or so (plus tip) and got the two smallest lobster rolls we have ever seen. They were better described as hot dog buns with lobster flavoring. So disappointing. Picture is of two on a salad plate. Lettuce gives lobster some lift, making it seem fuller.
Should have made drive to Beach Plum in Rye. Better options and you trade highway sound for crashing waves.
It's okay. The pizza burger was a sad looking patty smothered in what seems to be marinara with a minuscule smattering of sprinkled parmesan (like what you'd put on spaghetti). The lobster roll was decent but expensive and there were bits of shell in it. Regular frappes were extremely thin and tasted like too much Hershey's syrup versus actual chocolate ice cream. Tender prices were odd, 7.75 for a small (5) and $17.75 for a large (10), didn't make sense to us but whatever. All in all we'll try somewhere else next time.
Man, do I want to give this place 5 stars. I REALLY DO! But....for 2 clam rolls and 1 order of onion rings, it took over 30 minutes with untrained help at the front window. Lack of sauces, partial orders, etc..
Now, that being said...the food was absolutely fantastic. Fresh, delicious, and seasoned well.
Clam Roll portion sizes were a bit on the small size for the price, but again, absolutely fantastic!!
Was going to Brown's but thought I would give this place a chance since I've never been there before. Should've gone to Brown's! Overall appearance was old and rundown. Could use a facelift. Food was decent, good price for a lobster roll at $18.95. It was fresh lobster and a decent amount, but it seemed like they put zero mayo in it. You don't need much mayo in a lobster roll, but you need some! Grilled cheese sandwich was good. So were the fries, but a overpriced at $7.95 for a small (the menu said $6.95, update your prices please!) Bring a calculator when you go there. I was charged $41.50 when I should've been charged around 39 dollars. When I complained about being overcharged, the cashier gave me back $1.10. It wasn't a huge difference, but when you're already spending 40 bucks for lunch you really don't want to be overcharged! Overall, not the worst lunch ever but I probably wouldn't go back again. There's a reason I usually go to Brown's. They have the best seafood in the area!
