Courthouse Seafood, located in a residential area outside the heart of Cambridge, came highly recommended by a friend--and for good reason. Despite its unassuming location, the spot was decently busy during our visit, reflecting its local popularity. The service was efficient and friendly, with staff readily explaining menu changes and the selection of frozen or premade goods available in their freezer. Their variety of options adds to the appeal, especially for those looking to grab something for later. As for the food, it offered great value for the price, though nothing particularly stood out as exceptional. We tried the fish and chips, seafood platter, and clam chowder. The fish and chips were well-cooked, although the fries were slightly soggy--likely due to ordering takeout. The clam chowder, while flavorful, was too thick for my taste, resembling oatmeal in consistency. However, the portion sizes were generous, and the flavors were satisfying overall. Courthouse Seafood is a solid choice for affordable seafood in the Boston area, especially for those seeking quick and hearty meals.

The food is amazing. The prices are right. I met the owner, dude knows fish and his sister knows chowder. I was hesitant posting a review because I want the food to myself. Wednesday and Saturday has super fish n chips.

We've been a fan of Courthouse for years! Their special fish & chips is always great. We had it again a few days ago. The fish was super-fresh, the breading was crispy and flavorful, and the fries were A+. Having recently gone to coastal Maine and seen the ridiculous prices there, it's great to come back to reasonably-priced, perfectly prepared seafood!

A little bit off the beaten path and a very 'mom and pop' feel but arguably the best meal we had in Cambridge! A fun, peppery take on NE Clam Chowder, the nicest fried calamari (fresh and hot and so sweet). The service was awesome, the price ridiculously reasonable - we went back the last day of the trip for a repeat and added the lobster roll which also did not disappoint. I totally get the appeal of this place and will return when nxt on that side of the river.

Had the (Wed|Sat) "super" fish&chips (get an extra piece of fish), and was pleasantly surprised! Tasty and fresh fish, so good deal!

Great portions 10.60 for the fish and chips with a good amount of fish. Light crispy batter but batter lacked flavor. The tartar sauce is house made and pretty good. The fries were a bit underdone and definitely unseasoned but they're good cuts so could have been a bad batch. Would probs go back if I'm in the area

I just saw that one of my favorite seafood restaurants is closed! Thank you Courthouse for your years of service and kindness to me and my family! God Bless!

This place feels like the perfect local fish and chip shop. We popped here on a hunt for lobster rolls and chowder. We arrived during lunch, which was very busy. We were lucky to nab a table quickly. But if you want to sit, get there early. The lady who served us told the chef to hold the food until we got a table, which I really liked. Once we got a table, I let her know and she fired the order. The lobster roll was delicious. The chowder was pretty good too, but I have had better. Great place, and great atmosphere.

A local seafood restaurant which had fish n chips that I was craving. We ordered 2 plates. It came with a a generous portion of French fries and 2 big filets. Their homemade tarter sauce was exceptional. The fish was good but it fell apart very easily and I found myself scooping and scraping fish pieces everywhere in the plate. I believe it was either haddock or cod. Can't remember right now. Perhaps the experience would have been more uplifting, had the filets hung on to their dear life. The workers were very nice and friendly. And the ambiance gave u that cozy feeling of having good ole homemade hot food on a cold brutal day outside.

Having repeat customers is the hallmark of an excellent restaurant. We returned last night for 2 Fish and Chip specials along with a medium Clam Strips. Everything was DELICIOUS and EXPERTLY FRIED again. Consistent high quality equals greatness.
