Never one to complain but felt I had to about this crooked joint. Everytime I go for seafood, I always get a combo platter. Haddock, scallops, shrimp and clams, right? The first time I went they screwed me out of the shrimp. Second time I went it was the clams. Third time I went, I asked for DOUBLE EXTRA lemon and got 2 small wedges. I left my plate right there on the counter and proceeded to walk across the street to Browns where I have never had a reason to complain. I have been going to Browns for 8 years now and although I may try other seafood places, I will NEVER go back to Markeys. Period.

We have frequented Markeys for the last few years ordering lobsters and steamers only. They were always great. However, we stopped today and had fried clams and scallops. They were terrible. They were undercooked, chewy and all stuck together. The onion rings were an oily mess. Stick with the lobster and steamers and you should be ok.

Excellent! If you love seafood, this is the place to go. The food is great and the prices are not unreasonable. You can eat inside or on a covered deck over the water watching and listening to the seagulls.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.... the best three words to describe the succulent seafood at Marky's. A must for all seafood lovers.

Half a century and counting without a bad meal. Without a "just OK" meal even. Ever. Across the street is OK and takes credit cards but Markey's is the ultimate. Cold, fresh, meaty lobster piled into a grilled, top sliced frank roll with a hilarious hint of lettuce leaf along bottom is what I get for, oh, forty something years as an adult and weaned on them before that. Open year round so has enormous unadorned glassed-in waterside dining room with indoor picnic tables. Always make it my first food stop on landing in Boston from Arizona or elsewhere....then back south to the city for Durgin Park. Simple, honest, unadulterated, quality food. Priced appropriately.

We have had yummy steamers at Markey's for 20+ years and have been disappointed in the past few years about the rising price of them. We understand, however, that all seafood has dramatically climbed in price but the portion "boat" is also smaller, too bad! I started going to Markey's in college and a quart cost $4.95!!

Excellent restaurant. The lobster rolls are fantastic, not covered in mayonnaise. Lobsters come in all sizes and are cooked to perfection. But the best feature of Markey's has to be the steamers. Very generous "quarts" and very clean steamers. Some places have steamers with lots of sand in the shells, but Markey's has very clean steamers.

Best place to go for awesome seafood. The building overlooks the salt marsh and has plenty of entertainment (deck out back allows you to feed the seagulls and look down at the fish in the water below). This is a family-style restaurant where you place your order, get a number, and wait for your order to be called. The tables are very clean too -- unlike their competitor across the street.
