Haring's Noank

I read that they had great food, and I have to agree. I happened to be passing through the area and figured I would stop in. I am very glad I did. This is a very cozy restaurant on the water with a warm nautical theme. The New England clam chowder was very tasty, not overly creamy with lots of clams and potatoes. The warm lobster roll was loaded with lobster and it wasn't overly buttered. Their potato salad was excellent, I usually don't like potato salad but this had a nice mix of herbs and not too much mayo. Thank you for a great dining experience.

The parking is spacious and free. The view os waterfront. The staff were friendly amd atmosphere was enjoyable. We had the cheddar bay biscuit appetizer with a lemon butter spread. Very delicious and large enough to share. My wife had the fish and chips which had a large piece of cod. The batter was very tasty and fish fresh. The fries were fresh cut and crispy fried. My father-n-law had the fried whole belly clams. Could not stop bragging about how amazing they were. Our uncle had the linguini and clams with a blue fish salad. Really enjoyed the dinner. Daid it was good and filling. Our aunt had the New England clam chowder which she said was excellent. I had the Bisquets and Gravy. It was a cheddar bay biscuit with a half pound of lump lobster meat in between. Served with a lobster bisque, sherry, and garlic gravy. It was a deliciously amazing dinner. One of the most enjoyable meals I have ever had Great place to eat, a must try.

Delicious!! The lobster grilled cheese with Brie was a revelation. Super fresh oysters. Perfect hush puppies. Friendly and kind staff. And gorgeous view of the water

Absolute gem! Food was delicious, the view was terrific and the staff was friendly. The fish was extremely fresh and the mystic oysters were exceptional. Make sure to save room for dessert!!!

Tucked away with the most spectacular view Harings in Noank is an absolute gem. The menu is as beautifully curated as the decor. Our server was knowledgeable about the catch of the day, thoughtful with her recommendations (lobster bisque is a can't miss, oysters and tuna--we got all 3 plus a few more!) and we didn't feel rushed in the least despite the restaurant clearly being packed. What a treat to be encouraged to sit and linger over a meal and a beautiful view when so many restaurants push to turn tables over as quickly as possible. Heads up: it's BYOB but they make ordering from the local package store easy and it's delivered right to you. We will return and often.

Great place to have local seafood specialties right on the water. Great service. food was AMAZING! Dogs allowed in outdoor seating. They even brought out water for the dogs. Docks where boats pull right up and they bring the food and tables and chairs right out to the boat to eat at. I had the burger bomb, double smash burger with cheese and lobster meat. My wife had the hot buttered lobster roll. Both were incredible!! For starters we had a stuffed and the cheddar bay biscuits. You have to try both! Love this place. Will definitely stop again next time in the area. The dogs loved it, looking out over the water and watching the boats come in and go out. Amazing time.

I'll start off by saying I have to agree with some of the previous reviews. I went several times when it was Ford's Lobster and never really had a complaint. My wife and I decided to swing by on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. I ordered the Harings Smash Burger which brings Lobster. My wife ordered the fish and chips. In addition we ordered oysters, chips and salsa and a side of Cajun fries. I have to say the best part was probably the salsa and chips and the oysters. The smash burger wasn't "smashed and was overcooked along with the lobster. The fish and chips had no real flavor and the Cajun fries and regular fries were soggy and flavorless. If the food would have been seasoned just a bit would have made a world of difference. If we are in the area we may give it another shot. On this ocasion we drove about an hour from our home and we ended up disappointed, which we won't do again. On the flip side service was good and the view was good to have a relaxing lunch.

I spent a week in the area, and I feel so fortunate that I found Haring’s! You don’t get a better coastal dining experience than this. Sitting right on the water watching the boats come and go is the perfect vibe. I enjoyed the food so much that I came back three days in a row! I can highly recommend the lobster bisque, the cheddar biscuits with lemon butter (one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, honestly), the lobster roll, and the burger with fries. I don’t think you could go wrong with anything they serve. I’m not an oyster fan personally, but it was fun to watch the oyster dinghies come in— that way you know the oysters are fresh! I felt the prices were incredibly reasonable given how fresh everything was. The service was always friendly and prompt. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough!

What a lovely spot, on the water with a few outdoor tables even in mid October. The food was delicious and not an ounce of pretentious fluff. Genius marketing by dotting the tables with an amuse bouche of their hush puppies, totally sold us on an order for the table. We will definitely be back for more.

I had a great meal here. Parking lot is a little small but I was able to get a spot. I came on a Sunday around 5 pm and was able to get a seat right away. It was a beautiful evening and the view is great! Right on the water and you can watch the boats go by. Service was a little slow at first and took a little bite for someone to come say hello and take my order. But I didn't mind because it was so nice out. I ordered the cheddar-bay biscuit and lobster spring rolls to start. They were delicious! I loved the biscuits and spring rolls. Flavors great and spring rolls crispy. They definitely forgot to bring me my appetizers because the butter was all melted but still tasty. I then ordered the seared local tuna for my entree. Tuna tasted fresh and cooked perfectly! Yummy! Prices seemed very fair for the freshness and views. Had a great meal and left happy and full!

After reading that this was on the NYT list of top 50 best restaurants in the country my sister booked us a table for my birthday. I have to say, we were a bit baffled at how they achieved the distinction. The blue fish pate was underwhelming and almost reminded me of cat food. The tuna tartare was in a lime coconut sauce which gave it an unsettling tang which no one wants when eating raw fish. The cold lobster roll was overly salty, over dressed, the bread a bit stale tasting, no real flavor outside of the salt, and twice I bit into shell, the second time almost chipping a tooth so I gave up halfway through as it just wasn't worth to to me. That said, the service was lovely. And the spot is classic New England vibes. However, I did prefer it when it was Fords.

Harings had been on my list for awhile and I finally made it there end of summer. I went to try the lobster roll but also ordered the oysters and soup as well and everything was amazing. The waitstaff was friendly and the location on the water was beautiful. Will definitely go back next summer!

Great little place on the docks of noank BYOB but they have a liquor store that delivers very quickly , we steam clams , lam chowder , I had fried fish sandwich , all wonderful Def will be back

AMBIANCE: A beautiful view of the Noank harbor and a perfect location. One we have returned to many times over 10 years. Our second visit for Thursday lunch, since Harings restaurant opened in 2024 at this location. 5 stars SERVICE: All staff were friendly, competent, attentive without being intrusive. 5 stars FOOD: ... and herein lies the rub. The selection/quality/preparation were inadequate. Inquired about Cheddar Bay biscuits... out of that! New England clam chowder, tasty but no clams! Lobster spring rolls were very tasty. Crispy fried Haddock sandwich, was fresh but the portion was minuscule and delivered a bland taste. The Cod Fisherman's platter looked great, the serving size ample,but tasted overcooked and dry. Dessert was a chocolate peanut butter mousse, it was delicious... it also had not a hint of peanut butter in it. 3 stars. A very disappointing experience Haring's is striving for mediocrity and doing a good job!

Sat outside for lunch, had such a great experience thanks to our fabulous server (wish I had gotten her name). Really pretty outdoor space right on the water, watched fisherman cut up the day's catch and also sell an 8lb tuna to the restaurant. Can't get any fresher. The gazpacho is some of the best I've ever had. Amazing flavor and texture. Shared the tortilla chips with locally sourced salsa with my husband. We both loved it. Lobster bisque was great. Husband also had the lobster spring rolls. He's still talking about how great they were. It's a BYOB place, so grab a bottle of wine at the package store on Pearl before heading over.

Food was great! I had the hot buttery lobster roll. The hush puppies were yummy! The people were very friendly and the service was great!

I love Harings! It was amazing food and service. Such a pretty location and a very cool vibe

Excellent- terrific food- our favorites were hush puppies, lobster spring rolls, lobster grilled cheese, stuffies, lobster rolls, lobster bisque, fried haddock sandwich were all top notch. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Neat atmosphere right on the water.

We have been coming to Fords for years. Unfortunately, Harings is no Fords. The ambience is incredible. The wait staff and hostess were super friendly and competent. Now the food. The chowder was tasteless watery and weak. No clams. Not like n the past. The lobster rolls had a funky tangy taste that Fords buttery lobster rolls did not.

ordered a hot buttered lobster roll. the butter was emulsified. all I could taste was a glaze of butter. no lobster taste at all. roll was thick and a bit stale. very disappointed. It claimed 1/4 lb of lobster meat. That was a stretch. Potato salad was good. Definitely not Ford's.

What a neat little spot in Noank. West of the madness Mystic can be during the summer. Food and ambience are really good. Service is excellent, friendly and attentive. Also, BYOB.

Visiting from Ogunquit, ME, anniversary trip turned into the hunt to find the best lobster roll on the East Coast...... and boy did we find it! We started with a dozen oysters and the scallop crudo, so fresh and delicious. Our server Brittany was wonderful, attentive and extremely knowledgeable regarding the menu and culinary craft of the locally sourced menu items and farm to table concept. For the main event, I ordered the hot 1/2 pound lobster roll and my husband ordered the 1/2 pound chilled lobster roll with lemon aioli, both exceptional, we couldn't get enough. Overall experience would be rated a 10/10. Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful views and great vibes. Will definitely be coming back!

Great overall concept in every way, but with poor implementation at almost every level. Absolutely beautiful location, of course. Service was laughably bad (options were rude yet competent, or kind but poorly-trained and/or incompetent). Food was plated in an unappealing, thoughtless manner. Dishes were thoughtlessly dressed with an obscene amount of butter/sauce. Biscuit dough must have been overworked, as they were tough, and also rather lacking in the promised favor-explosion. Dessert was actually gross, and the recipe was poorly executed. Potato salad had a flavor note that implied it might be going off or maybe something weird was happening with the flavor profile. Even the french fries were disappointingly limp. Perhaps, we went on an unusually challenging night - while such issues are bound to happen, I'm not willing to try again. The fish and lobster were cooked properly, which I truly appreciate, but otherwise it's a big no. I miss Fords.

Came here for lunch one day and we both decided to share Steamers for a starter.They were a little large so we only got 9 of them with our order as they were sold by the pound. Was that really a pound? They were good ,but served with a Citrus butter which we thought took away from the actual flavor of the steamer. We also ordered two Lobster and Avocado grilled cheese. They were brought to our table and were just two small pieces of toast with a little lobster, a little avocado, one slice of unmelted cheese and a ton of mayo. We called the server over and she kindly took them away and asked us what we would like instead. So our second choice was a lobster roll. They came out and unfortunately they tasted and looked like they had been sitting in a warm butter bath for an hour. They had no flavor at all. We did however appreciate that they offered potato salad,cole slaw or macaroni salad instead of just offering potato chips with their lobster rolls like so many other places do. We always loved coming here when it was Fords but unfortunately would not come here again.
