We've never had a bad meal there, and, as usual, the place was packed. Even so, service was quick and efficient.
I stopped at Sawyer's twice this season. As always, the place was clean, the folks all friendly, and service was quick, in spite of there being quite a long line to order.
I was disappointed the first time and was hoping it was a fluke as Sawyer's has always been the go to place for great seafood on this side of the lake.
We stopped in last weekend with our son and 3 small grandkids. As always, still packed, still clean, and still friendly. My son and I got the clam and scallop dinner, my wife ordered the shrimp boat. We all agreed they were mediocre at best... at $25 each a d I think $15 for the shrimp boat. Value for the price just wasn't there, quality or quantity.
Including the kids, the slip was pocket change short of $100.
I wish we had gone to Pop's.
