A Classic North Shore Roast Beef Sandwich Makes This Massachusetts Stop Worth Finding
Thin-sliced roast beef piled high on a bun tastes a little different when it comes through a walk-up window with the ocean only steps away. That simple setup has helped turn this Massachusetts beach stop into the kind of place people build an afternoon around. Roast beef may be the headliner, especially when ordered three way, but fried clams, lobster rolls, clam chowder, and onion rings give you plenty of reasons to look beyond the sandwich.

A Humble Boston Seafood Shack Has Made A Name For Itself Across America
Crab traps hanging from the ceiling with little lights wrapped around them? That’s already my kind of seafood place.

You Might Want To Arrive Early At This Massachusetts Restaurant Before Tables Fill Up
Crispy lamb ribs, squid ink pasta, and a front-row seat to boats gliding across the harbor. That combo alone is enough to make me check a calendar. This waterfront spot in Massachusetts sits right on a pier, with a patio that faces the water. The menu leans into small plates made for sharing, so the whole table gets a taste of everything.
