Lindy's Tavern

This is a great local place with cheap beer (Gansett on draught!) and great pub food. I have never had a bad meal here and their prices and portions are just right. Their seafood is also stellar. Driving by, it doesn't seem like the type of place to have good food at all, let alone good seafood, but judge not by appearances! I used to drive by at 7am on the way to work and the Wilfred's Seafood truck was out there every morning delivering a fresh catch. The lobster roll is impressive with not only real lobster meat, but whole claws and generous chunks of tail meat, tossed with just a little mayo and a squeeze of lemon juice on a traditional, toasted New England bun. Yum! They also run a special for a pitcher of domestic draught beer and a 2lb. bucket of steamers for something like $21. The clams are fresh, the beer is cold and the price is right. Such a great local gem.

Always have great food, drinks and service.  Hidden Gem

I was sitting at home wondering what to do on a fine day like today and decided I wanted seafood. After about 30 minutes hunting places online, and going through the old haunts w've gone to before I happened on a place named "Lindy's Tavern" here on yelp. Never having been there let alone seen the place, and its 5 minute distance I wondered what the heck. All the reviews were positive so why not.

I AM GLAD I DID.  This place might not look like alot from the outside except for a biker bar hole in the wall, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't let that fool you. You can go in through the side or the front, and its got maybe 10 or a bit more tables and a bar area. The wait staff is very courteous, and helpful, and are attentive to you. We ordered drinks and they gave my son a cloring placemat and crayons, and came over with a complimentary basket of fresh buttered poopcorn that was popped as we watched. He was so happy and behaved well thanks to that alone. We ordered a seafood platter and pasta with meatballs for my son which came with fries also. His plate was a very generous size, and had 2 huge homemade meatballs with a sauce you'd die for. My and my wifey ordered a seafood platter, and were beside ourselves with not only the size of it, quality content(more seafood than fries), and absolute deliciousness. The breading was a thin but very crispy style that clug to the food beautifully and was incredible on its own, but the seafood was just insane.

Scallops were small but they sure put in alot of them, damn they were so good. The fish was a monster. Tender, moist, but not dry, onion rings were phenomenal, and just plain awesome. NOTHING WAS OILY.

I hate clams and coleslaw, and talked the waitress easily into switching the bellies to clam strips even though she assured me the bellies were very clean and recommended. When it came out i immediately tried the clams strips and coleslaw to see if it was any good. I might not like them but i try them anyway just incase...............They were the very first things that disappeared on the platter. OMG were they soooo good. Homemade slaw that wasn't to wet nor dry...just right, and next time im trying the bellies for a change. I guess i now love slaw and clams...lol

We had 2 rounds of drinks, and we all had a dessert which was substancial and very inexpensive. A fudge Sunday with a huge scoop, whip cream nuts and sprinkles was only 1.99. Our total bill $42 and change.

We're going back tomorrow after work. I sure hope it isn't busy. They had people waiting outside the waitress said. I don't doubt her one bit.

My new favorite place.
