My dining Experience at Elisabeths was truly excellent. Situated a couple of blocks from the town center in Fairhaven, Elizabeths occupies an old historic harborfromt structure. The pace was fairly crowded on a recent Friday nite. The waitress was friendly and knowlegeable about all things offered. I bough t a delicious burger, with sauteed peppers and onions, cheddar chese nd a strip of bacon. Cook exactly correct. My wife ha teh Hddock special which was so large she brough a portion of it home for lunch on Saturday. The French fries served at Elizabeths are some of the best I have ever had. Give this place a try. It is EXCELLENT !!!!
2. Brick Pizzeria Napoletana
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 176 reviews
Brick is a Napoletana pizzeria. We strive to replicate the type of pizza served in Naples, Italy. Our dough is made with '00' Caputo flour, local water, sea salt, and our own sour dough starter, simple! Our sauce only uses DOP San Marzano tomatoes and a pinch of sea salt to bring out the unique flavor of these classic Italian gems. We hand stretch our own mozzarella daily from local curd (Shy Brothers in Westport, MA check them out!). In addition to pizza we offer fresh salads, some appetizers, calzones, and flatbread sandwiches that we bake off fresh every morning.

It was rainy Friday night, so we didn't think it would be that busy. It sure was. We put our names in for both sides. We waited about 40 minutes and got seated on the seafood side. It can be loud in there and the tables are close together, but the food and service was excellent. We had clam fritters, stuffed quahog and scallops wrapped in bacon for apps. They were all delicious except the fritters were a bit too doughy. My swordfish entree was outstanding. A huge filet with a cremalata and refreshing corn salad. My friends also enjoyed their fish entrees. For dessert I had the grapenut pudding and it was just like my grandmother's which I love. I thought the prices were terrific for what we got. I hope to go again to try the sushi.
4. Oxford Creamery

Reviewed By Richard I - Falmouth, Massachusetts
We use to stop here years ago and had an opportunity to return recently. We had a lobster roll and a clam plate accompanied with quahog chowders. Everything we had was very good. The lobster roll was fresh and the clams were small, tasty, and not greasy. Even the fries were good. The chowders were excellent, plenty of clams and served with a nice broth. Our meals were very good Unfortunately we didn't have room for ice cream. This will be a place we will definitely return to when we're in the area. Also prices are great. This is a busy restaurant, but well worth the wait.

6. No Problemo

Reviewed By Stuart D - Dartmouth, Massachusetts
No Problemo is a quirky, funky, no frills Mexican restaurant. It has a feeling of authenticity compared to most. You won't find fajitas or margaritas for that matter, as it's beer & wine only. What you will find is inexpensive, Burritos, Quesadillas, Taquitos & Tacos, including "Super Tacos" (highly recommended)

7. Tastebuds

Reviewed By sandmheath - Marion, Massachusetts
We joined an elderly couple entering an empty restaurant shortly after opening, ordered some drinks and per used the menu as Yastebuds filled up its small dining room. After ordering we waited quite some time, 35 minutes or so before we could order another drink. Food finally arrived. Our waitress was alone for the room and hustling to make drinks and take orders. The food was acceptable but not memorable. I tried to give 3 stars but couldn't change it when an excellent 5 registered.

9. Dnb Burgers

Reviewed By Susan M - Warren, Michigan
The waitress was super helpful in answering all of my questions. The restaurant has "Build Your Own Burger". Everything extra is a charge. So a 6.50 burger becomes an 8.50 burger. My pickle cost 50 cents. I was willing to pay a dollar for carmelized onions. The hamburger was so delicious. They have several specialty burger combos. Other protein items are also available. There is an upstairs and a downstairs. Parking is very limited, but paid parking is available on Elm. This town is full of history.
10. The Inn on Shipyard Park
Overall Ratings
4 based on 96 reviews
The Inn is the oldest seaside inn in the nation, still operating as an inn, in its original structure. A short walk to beaches, sailing, fishing, and golf, The Inn is located in the heart of Mattapoisett Village, across from the Town Wharf. Boasting small town flavor in a relaxing setting, The Inn is open year-round.
Reviewed By Cheri W - Hooksett, New Hampshire
The menu is pretty varied, yet because of the proximity to the ocean, there is an abundance of seafood. The staff is very friendly, yet scarce. We had a wonderful dinner and then sat for 20 minutes without seeing a member of the wait staff. During that time, the place became very crowded and very noisy.
