Tim MinahanJuly 24, 2010Lobster roll is top notch. Chowder's good too. You can pass on the fries, though.
- They have free water, to the right of the drinks counter
CMay 2, 2010Their fries, onion rings, etc are fried in lard and thus not vegetarian. But I doubt many vegetarians are going to Woodman's anyway.
David CasterAugust 23, 2010The fried clam plate is huge. Be sure to share it with someone when ordering.

Lobster roll is delicious. French fries and corn, well, not so much.
GinaOctober 6, 2015This place was recommended by a hotel staff member. It was very disappointing. Clam chowder was watered down. Lobster didn't taste fresh.
