Captain Scott's Lobster Dock - Seafood restaurant in New London - 80 Hamilton St, USA

Made our first visit this summer. The wait to order was an hour, but that didn't bother me. If anyone has been here before, they understand it comes with a wait. The only disappointment to share is that there was uncooked batter on my clam strips. It was a bit gross, and obviously I couldn't eat it and moved on. The steamers were just ok. They seems very poor quality and had "issues" with several in our order. Overall, it was still a good dinner

We have eaten here many times. The food is always good but things you must be aware of when you go there. When it gets busy, the parking is sketchy and hard to find a spot. On a hot sunny day there may be a 30 minute wait or longer in line to place your order. No shade and it gets hot. when you do get to the register, you’re met by a very friendly person who takes your order quickly, and your food comes out promptly. The prices of the food are slightly on the high side. The portion of my clam chowder was very small but delicious. The atmosphere is very unusual because on one side, you look at the Amtrak train, coming back-and-forth and the parking lot. On the other hand the other side of the restaurant overlooks the marina which is absolutely beautiful watching the boats come in and out. You can bring your own alcoholic beverages to drink under the pavilion if you wish. This is one of our favorite summer fun spots to come to. Just be prepared to wait in line.

Captain Scott’s lobster dock. This is one of the better authentic New England summer seafood spots. Been here a few times and always enjoyed it. You go up to the window you place your order. And they call your name when the food is ready. You pick it up at the second window and sit down in open air picnic style benches and tables. This visit. Got this captain combo on this visit. It was excellent as always. I always enjoy it with the red potatoes and got an extra set of sides today. The onion fries here are particularly good. Line The line moves quickly – some people get a bit crestfallen when they see the line but it moves really quickly. Parking The parking is a little bit more challenging. While they have plenty of parking during peak times it may be difficult to find a spot.

Had an impromptu dinner with my bride and enjoyed the Captain’s Platter. Loved the blackened Halibut and shrimp with fried oysters. The clam fritters were okay. Oysters were amazing. There was a problem with my wife’s order in which they gave her fried oysters instead of the breaded shrimp she ordered. They graciously and quickly corrected the issue and were super nice about it. I highly recommend this place and its food. We ate well and enjoyed the ambiance of the wharf.

My best gal friend suggested we stop in here for dinner after a long day in Misquamicut. I'm so glad we did! It really reminds me of my favorite seafood spot in Narragansett. The line is really long, but it moves quickly. Once you order your food, you find a seat & they will call your name out (about 5-10 minute wait). The pricing is so affordable. Love to watch the boats coming in & out of the dock. I over ordered, but ate every bite! Love seafood. Definitely stop in, even if you aren't in the area.

It was SO good. Really fresh. Wasn’t greasy. My only issue was my grilled scallops were not cooked enough and everything needed a bit more seasoning. But the fried haddock was some of the best fish we’ve ever had. Staff is SUPER friendly and helpful. And you cannot beat the view. Highly recommend.

Was a reasonable place for lunch today. Food dud not wow anyone though lobster bisque put in a decent showing. Lots of tables and they were being cleaned periodically. Location of nice on the marina and the breeze was welcome. Unfortunately 1 of the 3 parties in our group received their food 10+ minutes after the other 2 orders despite ordering first. Not a deal breaker but being they were out of town guests it was not ideal. Parking was more than sufficient which was a good thing! We will be back again.

Awesome lobster rolls, other seafood was also great. Pretty unique selection of soft drinks too. Very nice vibe - open tables watching marina full of yachts and fishing boats, good crowd enjoying the food, weather and views. Overall, a highly recommended place.
