Blakeman's Restaurant — Restaurant in Duxbury

Fantastic location right on the water! There’s indoor and outdoor dining. Some tables are under shade and some right in the sun. The place looks like a classic coastal beach shack and the vibes are immaculate. Staffed by lots of young folk they were friendly and welcoming but I think a bit short staffed for a hot July Sunday. We wanted to dine Al fresco but all tables under shade were taken and after sitting at the beach we couldn’t sit in the sun any longer so we opted for inside. A girl said she would follow with menus but never did and then we observed 4 other parties sit at the exact same time. A young man with brown hair and a stellar attitude looked a little nervous when he came in to a full room of new parties but he did an excellent job managing the crowd! Despite being in a stressful situation he kept a smile on the whole time and did a good job of getting all his guests squared away as efficiently as possible. He did get some assists on food drop from other staff but otherwise ran the show in there on his own and did a great job. However, he definitely could have used a second person to help cover that dining area.

Food wise it was simple straightforward and good. Nothing that blows your mind but you leave full and satisfied. We enjoyed onion rings lobster rolls and an over cooked but still decent burger.

Overall a great place for a simple...

PowderPoint oysters and homemade crab cake we're good. Lobster roll were ok. They were not buttered lobster meat. It was Mayo based with celery and some sort of spices. Stuffed generously. To be honest they were rather dry. There are other fast food options like grilled cheese and curly fries. Drinks are beer and wines and no cocktails. Beer served in a can and other non-alcoholic beverage presented in plastic bottles. Wine served airplane style as small bottle with plastic dental cup. Plastic ware and paper plates are used.

Very rough casual beach shack ambiance for in dining area which requires no swimwear even if it is a beach shack with trash barrels between picnic tables. Cement floor with sand everwhere.

1 Unisex bathroom with a hook for a lock. Can have wheelchair accessibllity. Might have to move the trash barrels to get there.

Outdoor dining available too. Right by the beach.

Service: Young nice college students or recent grads trying to figure out how to apply their degrees.

Parking $20 even if you're not going to the beach.

Overall: It's fine with ok seafood and takeout but could use more tweaking in all areas to...

The Owner and hostess were rude, unprofessional & showed zero compassion when I showed up in an arm cast and knee brace & needed a place to sit. The owner actually told me to get my own chair, and when I told her 'do you not see I'm injured?' she begrudgingly got it herself and stuck me in the sun, and then scolded my husband when he tried to move me to the shade. Should definitely not be in the customer service industry or serving food! Don't go here! Support other restaurants that actually deserve it.

And in response to the owners inaccurate response below, the restaurant was half empty when I arrived at 5pm. I was there for over an hour and the restaurant had many tables still open, which she said would be full by 5pm, and now it was 6pm... (most restaurants give a table away if reservations don't show after 15 minutes and this had been an hour). Anyway, she is either thinking I am someone else, or is completely lying about everything being reserved in order to save face. Read all the negative reviews on this place and come to your own conclusions on the people who work at this establishment. I...
