Summer Shack

Summer Shack is a fun, casual seafood restaurant in Cambridge serving fresh New England-style seafood. The menu covers oysters on the half shell, local and seasonal grilled fish, crispy fried seafood, steamed and specialty lobsters, the signature clambake and the well-known pan-roasted lobster. Diners who prefer something other than seafood can choose from steaks, burgers and an award-winning fried chicken, so the kitchen is not limited to shellfish and fish.

The bar gets as much attention as the kitchen, with a variety of beers on tap, a wide selection of wines and specially crafted tiki cocktails meant to make even a brisk New England day feel like summer. Sushi is also listed among the restaurant’s offerings. Summer Shack was created by the Boston chef Jasper White, and lobster in its various forms remains at the center of the menu.
