" I had a lovely meal here last week. Seafood was fresh and the prices were reasonable. My only issue was the cramped seating and noise, but the food made it worth it. I had the baked scallops and a side of chowder – both delicious! I will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a disappointment! I had the lobster roll, and it was bland and lacking in flavor. The clam chowder was fine, but the service was inattentive. After hearing so much hype, I expected a lot more. I won’t be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing such great things about this place, I finally made my way to Causeway, and it did not disappoint! The fried clams were a showstopper; crispy and flavorful without being greasy, just like the locals say. The chowder was also heavenly, but get there early to avoid the wait. An excellent choice for anyone who seeks authentic New England seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" The portions at Causeway are massive! You get more than your money's worth. I had the baked haddock, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. The chowder was great too, though I wished for slightly more seasoning. The vibe of the diner adds to the charm, and I appreciated the BYOB option. I’ll definitely be back for more good eats! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great experience at Causeway! The seafood was fresh and the chowder was outstanding! The portions are huge, so definitely come hungry or be ready to share. The staff was friendly, though always busy because the place is popular. A great spot for a casual seafood meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit after hearing so much about The Causeway, and I have to admit, the hype is real. The clam chowder was every bit as delicious as everyone claims! The atmosphere was casual and friendly. My only complaint was regarding the wait times - we had to wait for about 30 minutes to be seated, which was expected for a Friday night. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't usually eat seafood but my friends insisted we go to The Causeway while visiting Gloucester. I ordered the seafood marinara and was blown away by the amount of seafood in it! Every bite was packed with fresh ingredients, making it impossible to leave anything on my plate. The place was bustling, and the service, although slightly rushed, was friendly. I'd consider coming back if I were in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)
