Summer Shack Cambridge

I want to first say Thank You for the amazing experience! My girlfriend recommended this place which I’ve driven by so many times but have never gone in. Some nice features is that they are located across from Alewife Station which gives access to the redline. It also is located right at the start of route 2 and alewife parkway for even more convenience. There are multiple parking lots outside which means no hassle to find parking! The occasion was my 22nd birthday and we decided to go and have seafood here at Summer Shack! The hostess’s were very kind as they sat us further away from what seemed to be a work party at the bar section that were a bit loud. I find this courteous to the guests as it shows respect to parties who would prefer to avoid larger crowds. The drinks were great and the appetizers were delicious! We started off with clams and oysters both on the half shell. All the raw seafood was FRESH and flavorful! I’ve always been a seafood guy and it was my special day so I got a 1 1/2 pound lobster which was full of meat! For the people who are like “it’s too much work to get the meat out and it’s too messy” please, just order off the kids menu if you want to complain. Some of us enjoy the excitement in eating lobster. For dessert, i got a slice of cheesecake with a candle to blow out on top which was an amazing touch! We also had a youngster with us which they provided coloring paper and extra napkins which is another thumbs up for me! I would like to thank the Summer Shack staff for such an amazing 22nd birthday experience and would highly recommend for any celebration or just a night out! Look forward to coming back! best regards, Benjamin P.

Great place to bring the family. The staff is super nice and the food was pretty good overall. I thought some of it was a little too salty and greasy but not terrible for the price.

Loved it. Did was delicious, and staff was very friendly and accommodating. We sat outside because the weather was comfortable. Can't wait to come back and sit inside. Thank you!!

Great food and even better service! Their lobster roll and shrimp scampi was incredible fresh Jonathan was the sweetest server. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent sushi! Happy to see this on the menu along with some old favorites
