Reviews for Garden Patch By The Sea in Quincy, MA
Amazing vegan seafood shack across from the ocean. Crab cakes and fish and chips were excellent! Definitely coming back.
We were looking forward to visiting this restaurant when we heard that they had such a nice location and so many vegan options!... Also, we wanted to let Craig, the owner, know how happy we were that he opened a vegan restaurant! (We used to go to hisprevious pizzeria and it?s always so cool to see non vegan places become 100% vegan) We were not disappointed! This place issuch a great option for vegans and even for people that like to try vegan food. The view is absolutely amazing, the options areso many, the flavors are exquisite and the tables outside allow you to sit down and enjoy the water view as well as the Bostonskylight. We had the clam chowder (to die for!) pasta with shrimp (soooo good) mozzarella sticks (omg best ones we?ve had sofar) the steak bomb (it?s really the bomb!) and French fries. Service was friendly, food came out quick and yes the prices arehigh but we?ll worth it! We just love to support innovative ideas and cruelty free local options. This restaurant is a visionaryand I hope they are very successful because it?s such a creative idea to have vegan seafood by the water! We needed this. Did Imention the desserts? Soooo many cake and cheesecake flavors! Plus soft serve ice cream and milkshakes! We will be back even ifit means driving an hour to get there. It?s worth it!! Read more
NE style Beach food, but vegan? You know I'm gonna try it! I'm happy to know that this place exists because sometimes you need... some nonmeat carbalicious beach snacks. I support what they are doing here so will add an extra star. Even tho personally it'snot really my type of food place, it feels unfair to choose to go here knowing that and then only give 3 stars. On the otherhand, beach snacks from a shack don't have to be mediocre! I felt the cblt was ok, messy and had way too much beach roll. Probshould have gotten it in a wrap but forgot! They have cheese so also got the cheesey bread for my friend who reported that itwas exactly that. I would like to try the crab cakes or lobster roll but I chickened out as a lifelong vegetarian, so will haveto come back! The place is def overpriced for what it is but maybe there is a reason for that? I'm not sure bc the ingredientsseem very basic. Realistically, wouldn't have chosen to go here if I weren't veg or if it wasn't veg. 3 stars, with deepgratitude. Read more
This place is amazing! Completely vegan and so many options! From cheese steaks to fish & chips. I got the BBQ Chicken pizza and... mozzarella sticks! I haven?t been able to find vegan mozzarella sticks so I was so excited to try these. And they did notdisappoint! The pizza was loaded and really delicious. Prices aren?t necessarily cheap, but the portions are big! I got a cheesesteak bomb yesterday and it was definitely the size of a subway foot long sandwich. They have loads of vegan cakes,cheesecakes, and ice cream as well! I got the S?mores Cheesecake which was amazing. Texture and taste was just like a normalcheesecake. Really nice & helpful staff and owners. Can?t wait to come back! Read more
Steak bomb is exactly what I needed all these years of being vegan. Crab cakes are large and flavorful, the texture is on point... and the coleslaw is the best I have had (not usually a fan of coleslaw). Looking forward to the soft serve and to see if theyget jalapeño poppers. Staff is very friendly, the tables and view outside are the best of any vegan/vegetarian restaurant asits across from the beach. Parking out back is sparse so on a busy day you might have to park at the beach spots across thestreet. Read more
Counter service classic beach food - vegan! Wide variety of classic American beach fast food done vegan at this new store.... Still newly opened when I first visited, the staff was learning the point of sale system (taught by the enthusiastic and proudowner). Some indoor seating, lots of space outside on the patio. Limited car parking in back of the store. There's lots ofparking along Quincy Shore Drive and I'm sure the store will be getting a lot of foot traffic. We tried the crab cakes, fish &chips, and macaroni and cheese. The crab cakes were the clear winner. They were quite flavorful and moist. The french fries andcole slaw side were also excellent. The fish & chips were also very good. The mac and cheese didn't quite gel as a dish, it wasmore like pasta with cheese melted on it than pasta with a cheese sauce. For each order the portion size was large. I'm lookingforward to returning and trying the lobster roll and the fried clams. Many of the appetizers also looked worth a return trip -buffalo cauliflower and vegan empanadas for instance. One negative is the to go containers appeared to be styrofoam. Maybethese could be swapped out for something a little more environmentally friendly? It's great to have a very well executed veganrestaurant on Quincy Shore Drive. I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu in future visits. Read more
BEST VEGAN FOOD EVER. This is a true gem. So much outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the ocean. I have loved everything I... have ordered- Mac and cheese pizza, steak bomb, mozzarella sticks. There are so many cake options, too! The owner is asweetheart. He came over and checked on our food. We told him how much we love vegan donuts and he whipped up some deliciousdonut holes and fudge sauce (not on the menu)!!! I have never had a better dining experience. 10/10. Read more
I've been here twice during my lunch break at work. The first time I got a steak and cheese sub, which hit the spot juuuuust... right.????????Definitely a menu favorite for me. Today I got a BBQ chicken sandwich and mozzarella sticks. I wasn't expecting somuch onion on top of the sandwich, I removed most of them because I don't really like onions that much. The bread must have beentoasted because the ends were cooked so much they were hard as a rock, so I just tore the ends off to get to the good stuff. TheBBQ sauce itself is AMAZING, which made the whole sandwich better. There were only 2 strips of chicken though, I would haveliked more than that, especially for the price. The mozzarella sticks were what I was expecting and I'd get them again. For thesandwich and mozzarella sticks I paid just over $33. Overall, satisfied by the taste of the food, but the portions shouldincrease or the prices should decrease. Updating to say I got a chocolate frappe today which was decent. It honestly tasted justlike a coffee frappe which I still liked but I would have appreciated more chocolate flavor, and I'd prefer it to be thicker andnot so watery. I don't think I'd get it again for $6. Read more
