Summer Shack

Seafood restaurant · Back Bay

@infatuation

"For nearly 25 years, this easygoing spot—basically a clam shack with locations in Boston and Cambridge—has been a go-to for casual, fun seafood dinners. If you have seafood-starved friends in town for a day, and everyone is wearing Sox jerseys, take them here. What you’re going to tell them to eat is the lobster roll. The meat is steamed and slowly poached in lobstery juices, meaning you’ll never have a tough bite at Summer Shack. Served cold with housemade tarragon mayo, the chopped cucumbers and scallions that are mixed in never overwhelm the sweet meat." - tanya edwards, team infatuation
