By far the best tasting and most affordable seafood in Boston. We paid $18.00 for Crabcakes at most places during a weekend trip, then found James Hook. No need to go anywhere else. They so close at 5 so go for lunch or early supper. Lobster rolls full of lobster. 

Business response:

Jodi, we think "the best tasting seafood in Boston" sounds perfect to us! We're glad you found us during your weekend trip. Next time you're back our way, be sure to stop by and see us for another amazing meal. -The Hooks

Wow, what can I say! First time in Boston and I had checked this place out before we came. I’m so glad we had a chance to grab lunch here today! My boyfriend and I both had the hot lobster roll. YUM!! The roll was stuffed with lobster meat, well worth the 30.99! It was falling out all over so you basically had a second meal. Lobster bisque was yummy and so was the coleslaw. I will 10/10 recommend this to any of my friends or family who visit the area and we will come back on our next trip to Boston! 🦞
