Solid food, gets the job done
Legal Sea Foods isn’t the best seafood I’ve ever had… but for a moderately priced chain restaurant, it’s solid. I know that if I’m ever in the Boston area, I can walk into a Legal Sea Foods and my seafood will be fresh, and the cost of my dinner will come in under my company’s meal limit for the day.
Everything I’ve had here has been good, though nothing has been amazing. At the State St. location, the staff was friendly, but a bit slow. Can’t blame them, they were really busy, and since I ate at the bar and watched all the action going on assembling the plates, I know they weren’t just sitting on their butts being lazy… they just really had too much going on.
All in all, there are better places to eat in Boston, but if you just want something easy, accessible, and guaranteed to just be good, Legal Sea Foods is the way to go.
Dishes I tried:
Clam Chowder
A pretty basic chowder. Even though they advertise it’s been served at the past however many presidential inauguration dinners. I’ve had better. The potatoes could be softer, and the chowder could have more flavor, but it’s still a good chowder. The consistency is great, and it stays hot for a really long time. If you order take out and bring it home, it doesn’t get that crusty layer on top. That alone is a star in itself.
Seafood Casserole
Again, good, but not mindblowing. However, I did really enjoy the crispy breaded toppings, the scallops in this thing were HUGE, and I got a ton of chunks of lobster, which was definitely a good value for the price.
