“Seafood Sam's in Sandwich is a cheap alternative to many swanky seafood restaurants. While the cleanliness is sometimes questionable, the option always exists of taking meals to go and picnicking at the Sandwich marina, the Canal, or the beach at Hemisphere's. The food is decent, yet not extraordinary... expect to come across a black clam strip every once in a while.” 
 

            Although having to wipe a previous party's tarter sauce off of your table can be a slightly sickening experience, there is something to be said for the "come as you are" atmosphere that is characteristic of Seafood Sam's. With its casual counter service and cafeteria-style seating, dining at Seafood Sam's is a rare opportunity to enjoy Cape Cod seafood without having to change out of your beach clothes or worry about your child's less-than-perfect table manners. Although the Sandwich location boasts proximity to the Sandwich marina, most of the dining room tables have modest views of the parking lot. However, customers who choose to eat outside may take pleasure in watching the sunset. Also, the neighboring Cape Cod Canal makes for an excellent after-dinner walking spot.

            The Seafood Sam's menu offers a typical selection of fried and boiled seafood, and also includes a corner bar. The fried clam strip plate, as sampled, was served with a cup of coleslaw and french fries. I also ordered a stuffed quahog, which arrived with warm butter and a lemon. While it may have been an isolated incident, the soda fountain was out of whack and spat out drinks that were either too syrupy or too carbonated. My whole family enjoyed our meals, but it should be noted that my weaker-stomached relatives experienced nausea the next morning.
