Pete's Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Greenfield

I used to eat here back in the 80s when u was a kid and my dad worked as a fry cook. I rarely get up to Greenfield but recently I took a trip to visit A local store that was closing nearby and I was shocked to see Pete's was still in operation. I think that says a lot for it's quality and loyal patrons that it's been open for decades in an off the main road area that doesn't see a lot of foot traffic. But a good eatery gets around n builds a name for itself by word-of-mouth if it's truely good... And Pete's Seafood is! I order a scallop dinner and my mother order a fish (haddock) dinner. Most places over cook scallops and it's takes a good cook to know when a scallop isn't undercooked and make your sick, but not overlooked and rubber-y. These were done perfect. The woman who took out order was very nice and mid way through eating u needed done extra condiments and got up to go to the front to ask but a woman from the kitchen saw me and stopped what she was doing to ask if I needed anything. Even that simple act is surprising these days bc most workers never stop to do ANYTHING that's not a part of their own responsibilities. Everyone there was just real nice and it was a very laid back comfortable place to eat. Love that place. Only drawback, I felt prices were a bit up there for certain items. I know some out of season items can be more at different seasons, But the scallop dinner was $20 when the same amount at a similar fish spot in Northampton & another in Brimfield is $5-7 cheaper.

First this is not a restaurant in the common sense of the word, it's a no frills establishment, you pay in the front and order it to go or stay, inside you'll find some picnic tables where you wait till they page you, pick up the food from the counter and bring it to your chosen seat, they have a stand with plastic utensils, salt & pepper packages, lemon slices, and ketchup. My scallops were breaded and deep fried to the exact right consistency, I ordered the dinner which came with a decent portion of scallops, large portion of fries, small Cole slaw, and Tartar sauce. I would have preferred cocktail sauce but apparently not available. The person that was with me got the haddock dinner which was a huge portion of fish. Overall the food was cooked perfectly, Cole slaw was decent, price was good for the food, the price is comparable with the local Ninety Nine where you get the frills but not...

My fiancee and I stopped at Pete's only because I had seen it in passing awhile back and we were going to be in the area. Wow! I'm SO glad we did. We both ordered the seafood combo and when it was ready I almost fell over with the amount of food there was! We should have split one. LOL

Also, I was happily surprised that they also had beer since we were both thirsty. I had no idea the place was so big. There's a large area in the back for dining, along with outside seating, which we couldn't take advantage of due to it only being March.

When we were leaving I told the chef it's crazy that we can get better seafood in March in Greenfield than we could at the beach in the summer!

Amazing food and great people / atmosphere. If you're looking for some good seafood, whether you live in Greenfield or are on a trip and passing by as we were, stop at Pete's and be prepared for some...
