If I could give zero stars, I definitely would. $65.00 worth of food and Burger King or any other fast food would have been better. We were give two different kinds of chicken tenders, as you can see from the photos. The larger ones were slimy with way too much breading. The smaller one was so overcooked that it didn’t even resemble chicken. This also can be seen in the photos. The cheeseburger was a bit discolored and had a rancid smell and taste. There is a photo of that as well. Cole slaw was extremely dry and tasteless. Whole belly clams were mainly breading. The fries were very soggy and tasteless. The best part of the meal were the onion rings. They were not great, but at least weren’t over breaded or soggy. Extremely disappointed and will definitely not be getting food from here. Total waste of money!!!

I had takeout twice the seafood combination one time with curly fries and the regular fries. I prefer the curly fries, I like oysters on a combo platter and larger portions. The food is good and tastes fresh not frozen or greasy, its not over cooked. I’m in the area once a month and this will be a go to for seafood. One star is for the three shrimp.

Best seafood in the area, coleslaw is the best that we’ve had. The daily specials are great and the variety is excellent. Prices are reasonable and parking is no problem. We drive over 30 miles to go there so you know that it must be good. I highly recommend this place for dinner or lunch.

I have gone here twice for take out seafood dinner and I have had the lobster melt twice, lobster bisque, and the new england clan chowder which were absolutely delicious. I am giving four stars because I was not that crazy about the clam strips too much breading plus they definitely need more seating or someone to manage the seating arrangement better. I had to do take out because there was no room to sit down.

Dino’s was pretty ok there in their new location! Food’s still decent, fast, friendly, the place is nice and clean. We both had clam strips which on Saturday night are discounted but I can see the menu has gotten really pricy. Lots of leftovers which fry up nice in the air fryer the next day are actually better than the day you get them. Overall…yeah we’ll go from time to time!

Delicious! We were greeted as we walked in. We ordered at the counter and they brought food to our booth (there were tables too). Cute decor and friendly staff – one of whom checked on us and kept the dining area clean. We had clam chowder, lobster roll and fried whole belly clams- all plentiful servings at a decent price. Definitely visiting again to checkout more of the menu and you should too!

We came to Dinos because it’s been a long time place my husband and I have visited for years. Tonight, 8/5/23 the food was not up to the Dinos standards that we have been used too. The lobster bisque had a shiny gloosy appearance and it wells like jelly. It had a awful taste and it was thrown away. My husband ordered the clam roll platter and those had a funny after taste and the tarter sauce was also terrible. DINOS??? What is.going on????

I am very disappointed with this place. I went to this place because their website show nice seafood dishes but when I got there it turn out to be a fast food place serving mostly fried seafood…. The food was very salty and not appealing. I had their clam chowder and it did not taste fresh at all…. it was extremely thick and salty. I would not be going back to this place again. If you are looking at their website don’t be fooled the food is nothing like they show it. On the positive side the people working there are very nice and helpful.
