4. Garden Patch By The Sea
895 Quincy Shore Drive
Garden Patch By the Sea opened a couple of years ago in the spot that used to be Cafe Maddie. According to the Patriot Ledger, Craig Somers and his son Travis opened their place on Wollaston Beach to offer an alternative. They wanted menu items to cater to vegans and vegetarians. As explained on their website, all items are plant based with vegetarian options upon request. You'll see familiar beachy faves like crabcakes, seafood platter and pizzas, but these don't contain ingredients like meat, butter, eggs or cow's milk. Of course there are items for meat lovers and egg lovers too.
3. The Baja Box
793 Quincy Shore Drive
A legendary Wollaston Beach waterfront spot, The Clambox, bought the Baja Box in 2018 and the taco place is a big hit. Check out this review from resident Debbie, "The Baja fish tacos are the best tacos I've ever had. I waited all winter for this place to reopen, and have already gone multiple times in the last month and a half. Great local spot!" Mexican food is the flare and they offer freshly made tacos of all kinds, street corn, nachos and more. Plus, they serve ice cream, slushies and sundaes.
2. The Clam Box
789 Quincy Shore Drive
Since 1968 this Wolly Beach hot spot has been dishing out delicious seafood and other summer favorites. They are famous for their clam strips and whole belly clams, but there really is something for everyone. From lobster rolls to sandwiches, buggers, hand cut onion rings and salads. They've been doing it right at the Box for a long time and you can't beat the location. Plus, they do serve alcohol, so if you just want a cold one and a view, it's here.
