“ Clam chowder is to die for was really taken back by just how rich and delicious it was! ”

“ The APPS were 11/10. I like my crab cakes crispy and Turner's was the best I've had. The slaw was a great element of freshness since it was salty (my partner thought it was too salty, but I enjoyed it). Can't go wrong with oysters and clam chowder (both excellent). I ordered the grilled salmon with Korean BBQ sauce, stir fry veggies, and salmon. It wasn't anything special to me but I still enjoyed my meal. My partner enjoyed his 6oz steak with fries and rice. Planning to try the Salem location next. ”

“ Been a fan forever (fresh and delicious always) but tonight's haddock piccata and 1st class service experience pushed me to boost my rating to 5/5. Ownership is committed to continuous improvement and providing the best experience possible! ”

“ Very nice seafood place. They have fresh seafood and their dishes really honor the seafood. The Haddock Piccata was so savory and comforting. The sauce was clean and you can really taste the freshness of the haddock and the fish. They are also generous with the capers, which is a great plus. The calamari is amazing, super fresh and crispy all around. The crust sticks to each piece. Only thing I'm upset about is that I didn't get more! Nice place with good service. Very casual. ”

“ We ate at the Melrose location this time. We have been to the Salem location as well. By far the BEST New England Clam Chowder I have ever had. Most other places it is overpowered with pepper but this is EXQUISITE! Lots of seafood in it and terrific flavor. I made my lunch out of the chowder and bread, I was very full. My wife and daughter had Ceasar salads with shrimp also very good. My son had a cheeseburger which was a very good size and flavor. By far the best part of the meal was the $4 Bread. It was stupendous, the best bread I have ever had and I LOVE bread. Kind of ridiculous to pay for bread but..... Wish they could put the chowder in the Bread itself to serve as a bread bowl, but the waitress couldn't figure that one out, weird. The tables are small and we were cramped a bit but the food was Excellent. ”

“ The seafood is excellent, the wine list is quite good...and the service is friendly and efficient. I highly recommend a reservation, especially on weekends because it gets crowded. It is a pub-like atmosphere that is comfortable for all. Their Lobster bisque is to die for; a must have. Have never had a bad meal there. ”

“ In 3 years of living nearby Turner's became our favorite date night spot. The raw bar is an awesome spot to sit, with a front row seat the the shucking station and seafood steamers. Their raw littlenecks and cherrystones are always super fresh and they serve an assortment of delicious pasta dishes that rival those found in Boston's north end. I love the linguini with clams and my wife says the sausage with shrimp is one of her favorite dishes of all time. ”

“ We hadn't been to Turner's for a while and so we thought we'd give it a go. Glad we did. They have a really good menu and the food is excellent. (Suggest looking at the menu online first as the pictures help.) We started off with a glass of Chardonnay and some very fresh oysters. Delish. My wife had a watermelon salad which she loved (not my thing) and I had a cup of very creamy clam chowder. We had some bread which unfortunately they charge you for. (They had a bunch of crab specials that night but we can take or leave crab.) For entrees, my wife had Portugese Fish Stew. She liked it but has had better. I tasted it and there was cinnamon in it. I don't know why anybody puts cinnamon in anything but a hot toddy. It ruins everything and that's all you can taste. I had the lobster pie which comes in a coffee cup-size cup and looks bigger in the picture. But no matter. It was delicious and with everything else, there was plenty to eat. It was like having baked stuffed lobster without all the freaking work. They kept flashing a picture of delicious-looking strawberry shortcake on a big screen but we passed as A) we didn't need more calories and B) we were stuffed. Only quibble here is that on the table was a card that strongly suggested (ORDER NOW) we scan the QR code and order ourselves. We assumed that's what they wanted us to do and struggled with connecting with the Internet till the waitress came over and said it was a COVID thing and it would be easier to just order through her. Really? Take those off the table, guys. Confusing. Pre-tip price - $187. Steep, but it was our anniversary and no, we didn't tell the restaurant as we don't like the attention. Would we go back? Absolutely, even though it's a 25-minute drive. There's a lot of other things on the menu to try. ”

“ For our last meal in Boston, we got reservations on Halloween night. They weren't needed because it was dead lol. I don't recall our waitress' name but she was so warm and genuine, even at closing time, and we truly appreciated our time with her. The area seems to be super cute and the restaurant gives a 30s feel that was very nice. The bisque was tasty, my husband's chowder was good (Tavern at the End of the World wins though), apparently the oysters were the best he's ever had (we are comparing these with WA, CA and Ensenada oysters), and my dish, although would've benefitted from some seasoning, was truly tasty. The quality of the fish was, all around, fresh and actually tasty. I haven't had scallops taste so fresh and scallop-y since Spain, the haddock was fluffy and warm, and the shrimp were fat and juicy. I chose the veggies au jour and it was simple gourds, but they too were tasty. I would've preferred a variety of veggies but whatever. Oh, and the mash tasted like actual potatoes and cream! My husband did have an issue with his wedges - he found them to be over toasted. Honestly, to me, they were fine, but I do like toasty things. The truffle was fragrant and definitely present in the flavoring. I'm honestly so sad that we are so far for more visits, but we definitely recommend! ”

“ I love the interior and the busy-ness of this place certainly indicates it's popularity. I sort of regret my selection, which was a piece of fish basically swimming in heavy cream. I know-it's what I ordered, but it wasn't something I could'nt've made at home. My dining companions had dishes that looked excellent and they loved it. Great atmosphere and I'd come back to try other dishes. ”
