The clams were perfectly cooked, boasting a crisp exterior while remaining juicy and flavorful on the inside – a testament to the kitchen's skill and attention to detail. It's a dish I'd eagerly recommend to anyone with a love for seafood.
My wife chose the New England Clam Chowder, and it was a revelation. Thick, creamy, and rich in flavor, it was like a warm hug in a bowl. Each spoonful was a comforting blend of clams, potatoes, and cream that transported us straight to the shores of New England. It's a must-try for anyone visiting Ned's New England Deck.
The ambiance of the place, although small, contributed to an intimate and cozy dining experience. It felt like a hidden gem where every meal is prepared with care and every guest is treated like family.

Read moreFirst time eating at 'Ned's Restaurant' we loved this place -- it's definitely the real deal.
It's a nice, small and cozy place with indoor and outdoor seating that reminds me of the restaurant shacks in Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard.
First this place is super clean from the entrance to the rest of the restaurant. It made a great first impression, including the restrooms. You know that food meets the highest hygiene standards after visiting the kitchen or the restroom.
My husband ordered the 'North Shore Beef'. It's a classic, thin shaved, house roast beef served warm and rare in a seeded toasted bun with hand cut fries. You can build your own! And the server will help you.
I ordered 'Down East Lobster Roll'. It's a poached lobster in a buttered bun with celery, bibb lettuce and Ned's special house lobster dressing. This roll is chilled with big chunks of lobster which makes it ever so delicious. The roll is accompanied by small kettle chips.
To drink we shared a 'Harpoon' IPA which was very good, especially for a light beer. By the way you place orders and pay at the counter then wait for your food.
Overall, the lobster roll was amazing and very tasty. I enjoyed every lobster chunk.
My husband also enjoyed his roast beef bun and said it was very good. I tried the fries and found them to be crispy and not too greasy. The presentation is simple but clean. All the condiment bottles are also clean and organized in a wood basket. They do wipe everything!
We are coming back to try other dishes. It's our new spot for simple...
