Regulars say that the seafood is so fresh at Ford’s Fish Shack that it’s like dining at the beach. Must-try items are the Maine chips, which are hand-cut potato chips with lobster (it’s charmingly spelled “lobstah” on the menu) and melted blue cheese; the shrimp tacos; the calamari; and the crab cakes. For dessert, many patrons enjoy the blueberry pie and the banana pudding. Also, regulars tout the complimentary mini corn muffins and warm maple butter that servers bring out as you read the menu.
Ford’s has 12 beers on tap, including Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA and Left Hand Milk Stout, plus many more in bottles and cans. It also offers a wide selection of red and white wines, as well as a few signature cocktails, including Ford’s Fantastic Lemonade (blueberry vodka and lemonade with mint and blueberries) and Felix’s Cadillac Margarita.
