Unexpected disappointment We chose this restaurant based off a high rating and reviews through yelp. However, neglected to pay attention to how old the reviews were. Youll think I made this series of unfortunate food mishaps up, but I assure you I didnt. We were the first guests seated when they opened at 4pm on a Sunday. 2 kids and 2 adults. We were first caught off guard by the pricey menu. We chose to order 2 bowls of clam chowder, coconut prawns appetizer, mozzarella appetizer, kids linguine with million dollar meatball, and kids chicken strips. Youll see pictures of the menu with our review. The kids menu was interesting (hard to decipher). Its cute that the owner allowed his child to write them out. BUT the food options were all ran together so it took a few times of reading it to determine the different options. One thing we didnt take a picture of was the front of the regular food menu. The fancy folders were previously from another place of business and Overboard placed a printed sticker over the top of the precious logo. A bit tacky. But whatever. While waiting on food we were served a mini loaf of bread with butter. It was good. The kids ate their apple sauce (came as their side, but before their meal). When our clam chowder came out we were surprised to see it was a Manhattan Clam Chowder (tomato base, not white cream). This was not stated on the menu and we neglected to ask, our bad. The chowder looked like a vegetable soup. Went to take one bite and it was cold, like out of the fridge cold. The waitress apologized and took it away. The prawns come out and they are a deep, dark, fried brown (clearly over cooked). Tried them anyways. The sauce theyre served with the prawns was delicious. I think the shrimp would have been great if it hadnt been fried into a rubber state. A second mini loaf of bread was offered while we waited for food. It still tasted good but this one had a cold spot in the very middle of each slice. As if the bread were warmed from frozen. The Mozzarella appetizer had great flavor. The disappointment here is that it was served barley warm. The cheese was not melted at all. The linguine with million dollar meatball was an epic fail. The large meatball was cold in the center. The red sauce tasted like it was a Vodka sauce or fermented (neither of which should be on a childs plate!) The kids chicken was served with one of the pieces clearly cut in half. We assume this was to check to make sure the chicken was done. It was in fact done. Like the shrimp, it was so done it was rubberized. The taste? Horrid. We did not allow our child to eat it. The kids did however share the french fries. Luckily for us the waitress was able to get the meal comped, since we didnt really eat it anyways. I will add that there was another couple eating at the same time as us. They noted that the restaurant was usually very good and theyve been going there over the last 5 years. Maybe this was a fluke?! Not sure. It was so bad that we will not be giving it another try.

Food was fantastic and the service was excellent! I am ashamed I drove past Overboards for the last 7 years thinking it was a local watering hole. Truly it was my loss. My meal was creative and delicious I plan to return often to try more of the creations.

Had the slow cooked pork and it was like eating steak. I expected soft tender pork roast and it was disappointing. They called their meatballs million dollar meatballs but they were dry and cold and old. The food was awful.

One of the very worst experiences I have had with my family. The food was disgusting, the prices were exorbitant, the only saving grace was the server had a smile and was courteous.

Terrific spot - you could be forgiven if you drive past this place thinking its a dive bar. Dont be mistaken - there is real legit food here. Service is great. Worth a stop.

A local favorite bar and restaurant for Seafood. Located on the main road with plenty of parking. Call ahead for specials and operating hours. Takeout available.

Great people, super food. The staff was really friendly and engaging with our road weary kids. The tableside cooking really thrilled the children.
