What the community has to say about Legal Sea Foods-Cambridge-Charles Square

Information about this business (7)

"If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!"

Legal Sea Foods is synonymous with good seafood in Cambridge. Here, you can choose between an assortment of dishes from wood-grilled swordfish to crab cakes and whole steamed lobsters. You can also opt for interesting delicacies such as Calamari served Thai style, Crab Meat Roll and Salmon burger. Although priced on the steeper side, the quality and freshness of the food offered will leave you...

Fish is brain food, so it makes sense that Legal Sea Foods is a popular destination for those in Harvard Square. Located in the courtyard of the Charles Hotel.

Legal Sea Foods Restaurant Review

This seafood giant has been serving up some of the freshest fish in town since the Berkowitz family opened its first restaurant in 1968. Since then, they have created a nationwide chain of restaurants that serves more than 20 varieties of fish caught daily. Legal is well known for its creamy yet chunky clam chowder. Pair up a glass of Pinot Grigio with some fresh raw clams and oysters, enormous...

The lone Harvard Square outpost of this popular institution delivers the chain's famous seafood minus the touristy crowds.

Service is abysmal... slow and got almost all the orders wrong... seemed understaffed(?)... but the chowder and hot lobster roll are delish!

Came in for a late night dinner and had no problem getting seats at the bar. We ordered the crawfish boil and it was very good and different but I don't think I am a big crawfish fan. It was fun...

82 birthday with wife, 4 grandchildren, two daughters and their husbands. Food was excellent for all. Service was outstanding - our waiter knocked himself. Sorry to see that the wedge salad that I had last time was missing from the menu - but that was soon forgotten.
