Came here on a whim while looking for a lobster roll place in Seaport. The place was already half full in late afternoon on Monday, but we were fortunate to grab one of the window side tables with a great view of the harbor. My friend and I got the barking crab roll, naked lobster roll, fried clams, and some fresh oysters, and everything was decent. With a lot of tourists in the area, I knew this would be a tourist trap, but the overall food quality wasn?t too bad. The oysters were similar to what you would get in other places, and I enjoyed the crab roll. However, the toasted buns were quite disappointing and the fried clams were far below my expectations. Everything was certainly overprice...
Waited for about 35 40 minutes, which is normal for this place! People tend to eat fast leave so the line moves fast. The food was amazing came out fresh hot. The lobster roll was fresh was just the right amount of lobster. The lobster mac was hot cheesy, it was thin but while it cooled it thickened up. The crab cakes were small for the price but delicious! We loved being able to try this recommended restaurant on our trip! Definitely a fun place to go to if your trip allows the time!
We wanted to sit down. Overall the atmosphere loved and it was decorated for the holiday. We have the Apple Cider-Mimosa, a Clam-Chowder and the Naked Lobster Roll to share. Everything was delicious. The only negative point was that the service was a little slow. It took a long time before our server came to our table and food was served quickly, but after check-in it took a bit.
We love this restaurant. Roasted lobster is the best! We have never seen this on any other menu and we travel all over the world. We always visit this restaurant each time we are in Boston. It is on the water; friendly and vibrant. Casual yet great food!

Excellent food and wonderful atmosphere! The staff was friendly and the communal seating leads to great conversations. We enjoyed it so much we are there two evening in a row.
Don't get enough to Boston, but if I do, Barking Crab is on the list every time! It is in an entertaining location, is inconvenient and provides a great experience no...

If this were only a rating on the quality of the food, it would be a solid 3 star spot.
