Shanty On The Shore

I grew up on Cape Cod so the food by those standards would not have been top tier but the fact that there's an option in Burlington to get seafood at all is such a luxury. We got the lobster roll, the fish and chips and the Caesar salad and the whole belly clams. Everything was good except for the clams which were a lot of money for a small portion and they weren't the best I've had. The lobster roll was great but on the smaller side and came with an insane amount of French fries as did the fish and chips. It felt like a "give them a ton of fries because they are cheap and they will have the illusion they had a bigger meal than they did" kind of vibe. All in all, I'm happy there's at least on decent seafood place nearby. Although I probably would t eat here often - maybe once a year or every other year at best.

This restaurant has a beautiful deck overlooking the water. Service is friendly and competent. The food looks delicious but everything we had was severely underseasoned. The shrimp on the bloody Mary seemed to be boiled in unseasoned water and had zero flavor. The breading on everything deep fried had no flavor. The fries underneath hadn't even been salted. They also were the very bottom of the bag it seemed. Curly fries should have a piece bigger than 1" long There are good beer and cocktail options and the view is great. Maybe just stick to an appetizer and some cocktails and grab dinner elsewhere.

Okay, for starters, I'm a connnoisseur of fish and chips. I order them anytime I see them on a menu. That's being said, the fish and chips here are by far the best I've ever had. My wife ordered the ahi tuna salad, also amazing. The New England Clam Chowder was amazing. We ate outside and the view couldn't be beat. To make our evening perfect, Kathryn was our server. You should be so lucky to get her as your server!

Visitor here! Shanty had such a beautiful view from the outside seating area. We ordered the oysters for appetizers and oh my lord. I don’t have to say anything but ORDER IT! The food was delicious and the service was great. 10/10 recommend!

A nice, relaxed seafood restaurant on the lakeshore. I had the Captain's platter - haddock, shrimp, and clam strips on a bed of fries. It was huge! Way more than I could eat. I really enjoyed the clam and shrimp; the haddock was full of flavor though a little on the dry side. The coleslaw is also fantastic. The drinks are balanced - decent pour and full of flavor. I recommend the house margarita.
