Westport Sea Farms

Been craving a good lobster roll. Visiting the area from Northern Virginia where it has been ungodly hot, so enjoying a tasty lobster roll and glass of wine outside by the water was pure heaven. Can't wait to come back!

We loved everything about this place. Killer oysters and lobster rolls. Location is right on the water in a marina. Perfect summertime get away.

We had oysters and a flight of assorted frozen drinks .. And oysters, the food was great the drinks were awesome and the view.In atmosphere simply spectacular..

Our family has been coming to Westport for decades, and Westport Sea Farms has quickly become one of our absolute favorites. We love the relaxed picnic-table style seating right on the water, the fresh and reasonably priced seafood, and the full bar, which got a fantastic upgrade this summer with slushy machines for margaritas and other delicious drinks! With several kids under 10, it’s hard to beat this spot. It strikes that rare balance of being laid-back and family-friendly without compromising quality. Boaters can pull up to the dock, or you can easily drive in. The lobster roll and clam chowder were standouts — classic New England staples, executed perfectly. It’s a fun, authentic spot with real local charm, filling a much-needed niche in the area. If you’re looking for something more formal, The Back Eddy across the water is excellent but Westport Sea Farms delivers a unique, breezy vibe that’s all its own. One small suggestion: peak summer days can feel a bit hectic. A dedicated hostess could help keep things running smoothly — we felt bad for the one woman managing both the host stand and takeout orders. That said, it didn’t take away from our experience in the slightest, just a small note that could make a great place even better. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. This place is a gem!

First timers! 👍 Was taking a back road ride in our 2003 SC430 convertible on a perfect Sunny day. Just stopped for a cocktail. It was busy and a wait for a table. We will go back. 🙂

Remarkable! The oysters are so fresh and perfectly presented, there is no need to mess 'em up with a dressing of any sort. Hands down both the lobster rolls and oysters are the very best you will enjoy on the East Coast; No exaggeration. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. A 'must do'.

Really casual, perfect on a beautiful day. Order at a counter, then sit at a picnic table outside. All the oysters were fantastic. They offer 4 different kinds, all grown in Westport. I got a dozen, 3 of each. So delicious. A dozen was $34, so less than $3 ea. Not too bad. Lobster roll was 5oz if meat for $25. Can't beat that. Clam chowder was delicious. Small parking lot but manageable. @amp_eats (instagram and Facebook)

Nestled along the scenic Westport River, Westport Sea Farms is the perfect spot to enjoy a local craft beer paired with a fresh lobster roll — straight from the boats that pull in right there. Talk about fresh off the boat — it truly doesn’t get any fresher than this. The outdoor seating is fantastic, especially during golden hour. Whether you’re savoring oysters on the half shell, enjoying them deep-fried in a roll, or digging into a classic lobster roll toasted to perfection, it all pairs beautifully with a cold brew from one of the local breweries. This place has become one of my favorite summer hangouts — especially after a day out on the boat or soaking up the sun at the beach. It’s the ideal spot to stop for a quick, delicious dinner before heading home to relax for the night. Time your visit just right and you’ll catch one of the most breathtaking sunsets over the Westport River — with a perfectly toasted lobster roll in hand. A true local gem.

Great seafood joint with good booze, nice views, and best visited by sea. Dock on up here with your boat like a real sailor. But let the other folks do the shucking and pouring. Fun ambience with picnic tables and umbrellas on top of sea shell gravel. Family friendly. Fairly low maintenance service but interested staff if you ask. They'll be more than happy to tell you about their favorite oysters. The food here is mainly raw oysters, lobster rolls, hotdogs, and chips. What else do you really need and why else would you come here? They have really good oyster selections some of their own oyster farms, as well as some local good treats. The booze selection here is fairly good. It's beer, ciders and wines. Some of the prices per bottle are fairly good to be had and they have a nice selection of whites and rosé to go along with the seafood fair. It's convenient that they have an outdoor beverage only bar. Be aware there's just bottled water options and no free tap water. I appreciate the good selection of ciders and beers that were both local and regional. The prices here aren't cheap, but they aren't expensive either. It's definitely a you get what you pay for situation. Overall, a fun spot that will keep returning to. The combination of ambience being on the water, accessible, low-key with good seafood and booze, despite the premium but not surprising price is well worth it for us.

Let me start off by saying that the view here is amazing! I wish I could say the same about the lobster roll as there was lobster shell in the lobster meat. The portion sizes were generous but didn't taste that great compared to other lobster rolls I've had (despite having shell in it). The oysters on the other hand are some of the best oysters I've ever had! They were all very good to the point my girlfriend and I had to get another half dozen! I highly recommend coming here for oysters and a great view!!

Westport Sea Farms has a small menu offering the quintessential New England summer must-haves. I had a lobster roll, clam chowder, and a can of Westport Rivers' Farmer's Fizz. Quality seafood isn't cheap and the prices seem to be on par with local restaurants. The ordering style is unique here. You go inside and order at a counter and sit outside on picnic tables where the food will be brought out to you. There is a small bar and some standing room if you must wait for a table. No outside beverages are allowed, even water.

Great food great place, right on the water. It's absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend it to anybody.

I'f you're looking for atmosphere by the water you'll find it here If you want good food, beware -- it is terrible across the board! Last night our party of 4 unanimously agreed the food was a D- (probably an F). We shared raw oysters that were small and tasteless. I mean, really small. Some of oysters stuck to the shell because they literally had no body. Worst oysters by far I've ever eaten, and I eat a lot. We had a lobster roll and a salad with lobster added. No better -- the meat was overcooked, dry and tasteless. This place is a ripoff, even if they charged half of the menu prices. They might as well stop serving bad food, and just sell beer and charge you for the nice view. The clam chowder wasn't much better. It was very thick and lacked any seasoning. I had to add lots of salt and pepper. Visit last year was better. Was looking forward to a return visit and was sorely disappointed. I paid over $150 to feed 4. Terrible food experience.

Excellent space to sit and enjoy the view and the great seafood...the people are very friendly and fast service or just sit and chill...

Gorgeous views off Westport Point, the freshest possible oysters from several different farms, and the tastiest lobster rolls we had ever had. You can actually watch the oyster and lobster boats as you dine! Patrons have a choice of lobster "naked", with house-made mayo or house-made spiced butter. We had one with mayo and one with butter, both were superb and you could really taste the sweetness of the very tender lobster meat. One orders at the counter and the very obliging staff bring out your food in just a few minutes. Every table has its own cutlery bin (REAL cutlery -- stainless steel) and condiments, everything intelligently laid out for a unique and memorable dining experience. Cannot wait to go back!

My husband and I went there for the lobster rolls and it has to be one of the best lobster rolls I have ever had. It came with potato chips and a side of lemon chive Mayo and or herb butter. (I used both) absolutely delicious and a very generous portion. We also had the oysters some of the very best in the area. The service was spectacular, we waiting maybe 5 mins for a table and had food within 5 mins of ordering. Super impressive for the amount of people there. The ambiance is absolutely spectacular, with the water views and outdoor seating I would give it a 10/10 rating. The menu is very limited but what they do have is outstanding! We will be back.

I don't know what has happened to this place. I have been going to this place for years, and the lobster rolls have been excellent. We went there last Saturday evening (June 29, 2024) and we were expecting it to be crowded. We were surprised that it was practically empty -- no problem getting our table of choice. Well, we think we know why -- the lobster rolls tasted nothing like lobster. The lobster was water logged and did not taste fresh. Very disappointed. We won't be going back.

Very cool waterfront spot with very fresh oysters. You can grab a tray of oysters and a few beers and enjoy them on a picnic table by the water. Amazing summer spot.

After a morning of debating with the hubster as to where we were going for our lobster roll lunch, we decided to try Westport Sea Farms. Great location, awesome harbor views, friendly staff, DELICIOUS Clam Chowder, but sadly a lousy Lobster Roll. I will say it took a great photo, but that is where the positivity ended. If you are a person that likes a lobster roll with just the lobster claw and knuckle meat, then maybe this is for you. I however like chunks of lobster tail mixed in as well. It was very wet and flavorless. Needless to say I was disappointed. :/

We were in the mood for a lobster roll and wanted to try something new. After looking at numerous options we decided on Westport Sea Farms for a chowder and lobster roll. Being right on the Westport River, the view is amazing. The chowder was very good as well. Unfortunately, the main attraction was nice to look at for show, but certainly not in the running for top ten of the area. The meat is all claw and knuckle, and the mayonnaise is an odd watered down texture. Looks absolutely amazing, but tasted okay at best.

Great quick casual spot. We came here for some oysters, a lobster roll, and a couple of beers on a hot day. The oysters were so fresh and tasty and the lobster roll was packed with succulent lobster! Great views, good food, and some local beer- we will definitely come back here!

First the good: A patio with picnic tables looking out on the harbor--an informal, scenic ambiance. The lobster roll was generous, claw meat with a choice of warm "butter" or chive mayonnaise on the side. However the warm "butter" was orange-colored, very salty, and more like movie popcorn topping than real butter. And the service, oh my! A simple lobster roll on a toasted bun with chips--after 20 minutes listening to the staff chatting, I went back to the counter to ask when it would be ready. The server had forgotten about the order. It was finally ready ten minutes later. This with two servers and only two tables occupied, a total of three guests . I don't know what they will do when busy. The atmosphere is worth it, the food is B+, and the service fails entirely.

This is hands down the best joint for Oysters, lobster rolls, lobster salads, and clam chowder on the South Coast. Run, don't walk. Or if you have a boat, motor over as fast as you can. The salads are delicious too, as are the hot dogs in case you bring frank-loving kids in tow. They have a great wine and beer selection to water everything down ... and to help you kick back and enjoy the view. The view is as outstanding as the food and the service. Note that this is a family-affair, so Kristin's kids might be serving you, while her husband is off harvesting oysters. The Frosé -- with a slight hint of locally sourced blueberry liqueur to add subtle tanginess-- are a must. If Anthony Bourdain were still alive, this is where he would hang. He knows local. And this is the best of local. Ignore Jack G's comments. Clearly he was in a bad mood and the food has NOT changed. We've been coming here since it opened and the seafood is the same as it ever was. It's all fresh from the local waters. The beer and Wine list though have greatly expanded. Woot.

Great summer spot . I've had they're lobster rolls, oysters and chowder.. all very delicious. My one and only complaint is the price and size of their FRosè.. very small. The food is definitely on the pricier side. Beautiful view great service

All the tables are outside, so come in good weather for outdoor seating and water views. We liked our first visit so much, we came back for a second time within the same week. Lobster roll was piled high generously. People with gluten allergies can get lobster loaded on a bed of salad. Their clam chowder is delicious. The oysters are farmed in four locations around Westport Harbor. They are sweet but very small, so they won't fill you up. Hot dogs available for kids or folks who don't want seafood. That's pretty much the menu. Local wines and beer choices from Westport's vineyard and brewery. Nice views of Westport Harbor from the tip of Westport Point. Sunsets are pretty, but midges ("no seeums") can bite at sundown. Best to wear insect repellent. Plenty of staff made both visits efficient. Expensive, but worth it for the outdoor summer experience.

Very rude service!! That alone is reason enough not to return but in addition it is an extremely poor value for what you get. Way too pricey for a self serve location. Fencing around the perimeter allows for garbage to fall into the water. Made a suggestion to put up a small bit of screening to prevent the pollution but clearly they don't care.

Great location. We arrived on a boat which was lovely. There were dock lines and that was great. We also had a small dog which ended up not being so great. Dog unfriendly on the outside patio. (I have two restaurants and dogs are welcome outside). So we got food to go and ate on the boat. Two lobster rolls, one dressed, one plain. They were ok. Wanted some oysters but they wouldn't sell them shucked to take to the boat tied up at their dock and I didn't have my knife so no oysters. Overall a disappointing experience. We may go back but prepared for their unfortunate limitations.

Loyal patron! I love everything about this concept, location, and simple select menu. We stop here for our oyster fix and then head to dinner. It has been noticed that the oysters are a bit on the smaller side compared to other oyster cultivators or farms . Perhaps offer more of an offering from the shorelines of RI etc. We have NEVER experienced rude behavior and please stay open and thrive! We will return.

The place is gorgeous but they need to massively up their game because right now it seems like they're doing the bare minimum and I have zero interest in returning. We got two lobster rolls and two tasting flights. $70. Had to eat again when we got home. I would never pay $19 for a lobster roll with a hotdog bun and the toughest lobster meat I've ever had. It didn't taste good. The oysters were crazy expensive for a place that is literally built off the industry and has close ties with all of the farms. This should be their strongest point. And I'm saying this as someone who LOVES oysters, in particular a few of the ones they serve (that I was familiar with but especially Riptide). Why were they so mediocre at the restaurant when I've had and loved them before? I've literally bought Riptides whole sale, shucked them myself and they were excellent. Oh and the server just plopped the oysters down on the table without explaining which were which. Then, it's windy so a gust came when we weren't expecting it and carried our trash into the water. I climbed down onto the dock below to grab it. I hated this the most because I doubt we're the only ones and I hope this place isn't just introducing a lot of trash into the water. Also a bunch of tables weren't cleaned off. Overall, boo. Do better.

Incredibly rude staff (in particular the manager). Wouldn't recommend this to anyone at all. Not worth wasting your money, especially when there are plenty of other warm and welcoming restaurants in the area.

great place to end a beautiful summer's day. They offer 4 types of oysters and a small selection of other food, plus beer & wine options. I ordered a plate of 6 oysters with at least 1 of each kind. Beautifully prepared and yummy; however, I wasn't told which oyster was which, so while I liked them all, I wasn't able to hold onto my favorite for future visits. The other note is that my wine was served in a plastic cup - not a plastic wine cup, but just a basic plastic cup. I understand wanting to not have glass on the patio, but it really takes away from the experience to have a nice drink in a sad cup. The patio seating is nice with a view of the harbor. There's minimal inside space, so definitely come here on a nice day.

This is a new restaurant of the area. My husband and I wanted to try their oyster while we were visiting my in laws summer rental house. Oysters are good but nothing extraordinary. They run a bit expensive considering quality of oyster and variety. But they have a very cute patio area right at the Harbor dock and it is quite romantic to have oysters and wine enjoying sunset. Oysters did something to my husband Michael (wink wink) he couldn't stop bothering me all night that night. We would come back but probably get something simpler next time.

Great location and yummy oysters! Perfect place to spend an afternoon, have a beverage and relax

Extremely rude service, owner could use some happiness in her life. Food was okay nothing special but it was overpriced. Would recommend going 5 minutes down the road to 'The Back Eddy'. Has same food but better and no annoying staff.

So glad you are open again. We went twice a week last summer and LOVED it! Everything was perfect.The staff is great and friendly and the view is heaven!

Great spot at the end of Westport Point. Very casual with local beers, wine and oysters. Oysters were beautifully shucked and right out of the Westport River. Doesn't get much better! Staff was friendly, nice and knowledgeable. Westport has been missing a place like this! I'll be going here often to enjoy the delicious oysters and to support our local fisheries.

Great chowder and a really good lobster roll. Was a little disappointed they were out of chowder the second night I came with an hour still to go before closing time.

Awesome dockside spot to enjoy a drink, the weather and the views. I stumbled on this place last weekend while exploring Westport on my bike and I wish I could have posted up in one of the many comfy Adirondack chairs for the entire day. The drink menu and food menu are small but they carry Buzzards Bay IPA so I was good. Staff are friendly and chill. Fresh oysters is the main thing on the menu and almost all the patrons were partaking. Can't recommend this place enough.

Only good things to say! Has become our "go-to" place, with its lovely selection of oysters from very close-by, fresh and generous lobster rolls (hot and cold), and truly perfect lobster roll meal-kits. A number of important details sets those kits apart: 1. fresh, fresh, fresh lobster meat, including tail and claw; 2. perfectly sized, crisp lettuce that fits the roll: 3. add-your-own chive lemon mayo portions (thus ending the "too little vs. too much mayo" controversy); 4. Nicely-herbed butter for sautéing/toasting the rolls so they're crisp outside, soft inside; 5. Competitively priced, giving one the sense of good value. Or just ignore these kit comments and enjoy the lovely setting, friendly service, a very good selection of beer and wine. What a pleasure!

Oysters were tiny and tasteless better oysters at a fraction of the cost at market basket. The place smelled so bad from the odor of decaying lobster bait from next doors . Save yourself the disappointed and stay away..

Just go. but if you don't like oysters, maybe don't go. Very simple menu you can get a great view, delicious oysters and lobster roll. If you don't like that, there are hot dogs. If you need more food than that - go elsewhere. This place was very special and perfect after half day on the beach.

No-fuss oyster bar. Beer, wine, oysters, chowder, lobster rolls, hot dogs. Those are your options and do you really need anything more? Friendly owner and awesome views. Will be back this summer.

I so agree with every single review already written. Yes, these oysters are delicious! But, my single complaint is the price of them. Ours were quite small and we felt that $25/12 was too much. They were perfectly shucked, so perhaps the extra time to shuck properly is what you are paying for. The location is worth visiting and having a local brew, for sure.
