Returned to McKay's after finding it last year. Went on St. Patrick's Day. Surprisingly, the wait for a table was not bad. Had full belly clam dinner, eggs Benedict, and French toast with sausage. Everything was delicious! The portions are ample. Can't go wrong with their reasonable prices. Very busy spot. Only wish the wait staff was more welcoming.

Clam box is right down the street from Tony's Clam Shack on Wollaston Beach and they are very similar. I personally prefer Tony's but if it's packed, and it often is, the Clam Box is a very acceptable alternative. exact same layout, very similar menu and the food is close enough to Tony's that you'll barely notice the difference.

We went to the Townshend for dinner. I thought I would give it a try. Glad we did. The atmosphere had a cool vibe, great music, good wine and beer selection, friendly excellent service and most importantly the food was above average/ excellent. We plan to bring friends back to this great little restaurant.

Located on top of a hill near The Great Blue Hill, this restaurant has a stunning skyline view of Boston and the complete Harbor. Itâs a romantic venue with an interesting and varied menu ... and craft beer.Thereâs an elegant bar to sit at, a substantial restaurant and extensive function rooms. All overlook the golf course and fountain. Thereâs a driving range, too.I highly recommend the food and service. Prices are less than pricey Boston restaurants, and thereâs the advantage of plenty of free parking! Valet service is available.Itâs easy to get to Quarry Hills with its own exit (southbound) off the Expressway, and close to The Split (junction of Rte 3 and Rte 128 ( interstate 93).Exit is 8 miles south of downtown Boston, so itâs very easy to get to when traffic is not heavy.Located in Quincy, there are many tourist attractions worth visiting, if youâre not getting in a round of golf!

Dropped in on a Tuesday for a late lunch early dinner. We ordered the delicious hot crab dip, I recommend to everyone. A favorite at my table. One friend ordered the fish tacos, they were excellent. I ordered the crab cakes, they were tasty, however not plated in an appealing manner. The other people at the table ordered the steak tip salad, it was perfectly plated, cooked and seasoned properly. Another order was the Jumbo shrimp cocktail I do not recommend. It was not freshly cooked, it was like rubber and we sent it back. The server we had was excellent a very astute young man whom relocated from Florida.
4. The Fours Restaurant Quincy

Two friends and I had dinner together at The Fours on a Thursday evening. We sat in the main dinning room which offered a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Waitress attended us right away and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Two of us had the salmon or stuffed haddock dinner, which were both excellent. The third person had a stuffed chicken selection. Servings were plentiful, We didn't have room for dessert. Entrees might be considered by some a little expensive, $20 and above, though sides come with the meals. City of Quincy offers free evening parking at several nearby lots, which made coming to The Fours for dinner less stressful.

The atmosphere is simple, like eating with your own family and friends. The food is perfect and so tasty, the service is quick and everyone is polite and funny. The regulars seem to get hugs from the staff and everything just seems to flow so nicely in the kitchen. I was here two years ago with friends and family and everything I like about this restaurant has remained the same and I love this so much in my eating experience; consistency in service and good food is everything in a good dining experience!

We came here to celebrate a special occasion.The table was perfect. The hostess was not friendly and the bar crowd was very loud. Not off to a good start. Our server was perfection and the crowd quieted down. We had a charcuterie plate and I had a delicious rack of lamb while my companion had a surf and turf. The meals were outstanding. The cocktails were on point and we had a delicious bottle of wine. I will definitely return.
1. Tony's Clam Shop

Tony's isn't fine dining, it isn't Legal Seafood, so if that's what you're looking for Tony's probably isn't for you. But if you want to sit at the beach and have great seafood; fried clams, scallops, a lobster roll, then this is the place you should go. They're burgers are pretty good too and they probably have the best onion rings around. It can be crowded on weekends in season so you'd probably be better off going on a weeknight but even if you find yourself there on a Saturday and the line is long, it's well worth the wait. And if there are no tables available get it to go and eat while sitting on the sea wall right across the street.
