Riley`s Fish Shack in Saint Johnsbury

First visit, great food! Pleasant staff!

Yes, you can get fresh incredible seafood in St J.

I'm a bostonian transplant to vermont. This is the best seafood around this area. Great price.

Dog friendly. People friendly. Vegetarian friendly. Overall, a very friendly place.

Great food and prices. A unique dining experience.

Delicious! Fried clams were way better than the ones we got on Revere Beach in Boston. Love the onion rings. The batter was thick (almost like a fried pancake) but surprisingly light at the same time. The maple balsamic dressing was pretty sweet and the coleslaw wasn't that impressive but everything else was amazing. Loved the service and the ambience. Come hungry. Portions are huge and prices surprisingly good. 2 free sides and a choice of dessert or drink come with every entree. Wow!

I like the food, it's delicious.

Great little snack bar. Really fun place to go in the summer and sit outside. Plus they have ice cream! Love their burgers and fried seafood. Staff is friendly and service is quick.

Great food a little busy but worth the wait

We found about Riley's by word of mouth. Wow, were we pleased! We had both the whole belly clams and clam strips. They were sweet, tender and cooked to perfection. Frankly, it was the best seafood that we have all ever had. Staff was cheerful. Eating seafood, outside on a beautiful summer day, it doesn't get much better. Would highly recommend.

Their paranoia for alcohol & liquor control it's over the top. Had the same conversation three to five times before even ordering-. "my container it's empty. See?" - I was the only person at the counter. While owners and managers might be impressed, this made me wonder if they would forget my order.Portions were light but yummy -small burger and two (??!!) mushrooms. Could be better

The French fries are amazing. Service was very friendly. Overall a nice place to grab lunch to go. Lines can get a bit crazy however. I would suggest calling in your order.

Pretty good! Nice little fish place. Friendly service, albeit a little on the slow side. We went just after lunch time, 2:30 ish and waited approx. 15 min. for our food. But, it was hot and fresh! I got the haddock, fried and it was crispy, flaky and delicious. Fries were just as good.

The food is quite good. French fries are exceptional. The only problem is they obviously don't care about environment. The food is served in non-reusable "plates" and you have to eat with plastic forks and knives. Worse, all that stuff goes in a single trash (no recycling). Vermont is such a beautiful place. You guys should know better.

Delicious, fried oysters, lobster roll and haddock sandwich!! All real fresh, crispy and tasty. Do they really have to close for the winter ?

Stopped for a little seafood. Very happy with the choice. A cup of Haddock Chowder thick with fish and potatoes and in my case oyster crackers. Good hearty broth. A pair of Lobster Rolls plenty of Lobster and fresh ingredient made this an excellent meal. The Fried Apple Dessert with soft serve vanilla a good closer.

Nice staff good food. I enjoy stopping here when I'm in town.

I was in the area and read reviews, so I went. It was very standard fare. The fish served tough, not flaky. The people that work there were so nice.

OMG! Can't wait to go back. Very busy place but the food was out of the ballpark. Lobster bisque was very flavorful. Wish I would have gotten the bowl. Sea scallops are my favorite and was not disappointed. Plenty to eat for two people or in my case two meals. Glad someone else suggested this place

Great seafood, this place is going to become a regular stop on our camping trips to Littleton. Reasonable prices and great quality. Doesn't get much better than this!

Placed a pick up order for the first time. All 3 meals were missing the coleslaw and they returned $5 to us (since we live 25 mins away) after audibly complaining while I was on the line.Lobster roll is very small and mostly lettuce. Didn't toast our cheese/veg subs.Just an all around disappointment.

I love everything about Riley's Fish Shack. The seafood is sooooo delish.

Very fresh seafood for Northern Vt! Excellent portions. You wont be dissapointed.

Amazing seafood away from the coast in Vermont. Many food options and ice cream or other great sweets. This is open field outdoor seating currently, pack a picnic blank or chairs.

Food is always great and service as well

Burger and fish filled were pretty good but not spectacular

So glad I found this place as we were traveling through. So many great options here and they give you so much food. Enjoy!

Had the lobster roll pretty good. I felt that the role was on the small side. but it had a decent amount of meat. Will come back.

Love the roadside atmosphere and truly fantastic fish. This place looks like a joint that should be on Guy Fieri's Triple-D TV show. The food is spot on; it's every bit as good as you imagine it to be.

Very good food and servings...nice location also

Great place great service summer taist in the winter

Great food. Loved the clams & scallops. Offerings fried or broiled. Ice cream appears to be a favorite also. Outside patio is dog friendly

Always a must stop when visiting the area. It doesn’t look like much but the food here is always spot on..great prices..seafood here is so good..always a must is the lobster roll which I always ask for hot with butter, it will run you $12 but they don’t skimp on the lobster meat..everything is always cooked to order and never dissatisfied. This place is always packed so have to usually wait a bit especially because everything is cooked fresh but well worth it..they have inside and outside patio seating and welcome dogs on the patio.

Great food, great service, we have loved it since we discovered it. AND, since the COVID crisis, they are now masking, gloving, sanitizing with bleach, and all the stuff that's needed to keep us, and them, safe. So, GO, stand 6 feet apart in line (it's not nec. long but there usually is one, they're that good) -- and get some great takeout!

Best seafood ever and I’m originally from the Hampton Beach area

I was on a tight schedule and ordered soup and a fish sandwich.. Food was quick, hot and very tasty.

My wife is from Boston and when our friend brought us here we were skeptical. Seafood in Vermont???? Cant be good. Well it was delicious and fresh. It's a must stop if you're in the area

Very good seafood. Attentive service. Polite and helpful young staff. Covid compliant. No indoor or outdoor seating right now. All take out. I suggest calling ahead. Enjoy!

Such a fantastic place to eat out. The food is top notch as well as being very well run. You feel like you are in Maine briefly with the decor. The restaurant and restrooms are kept very clean as well, which I for one really appreciate. Thanks for an excellent place to eat in the North East Kingdom of Vermont.😊

Good food, friendly service!

Their food is amazing. The best French fries you've ever tasted. Mac and cheese bites were new to the menu and amazing. BBQ pulled pork was fantastic. The young lady at the register the day I stopped in (normally a cook?) was very friendly.When I pulled up, there was one open spot in the parking lot and inside there was a line to the door. That says a lot about their food. It really is worth it.

Riley's just catered my sons wedding. Some of the best food I have ever had at a wedding! They did an awesome job!!!

Great food, seafood is amazing, especially lobster roll and whole belly clams. Delicious ice cream and friendly fast service. Prices are more than fair with generous portions. It is apparent these folks work very hard and take great pride in their offerings. My personal favorite is the cheeseburger with fresh lettuce and tomatoes with fries or onion rings Also, the cole slaw is the best ive ever had. Tough to beat the scenery which costs zero!!! Cant get that in the city. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed. Keep up the good work ladies.

Thanks so much for serving me my maple shake it is delicious! And to be the 5000 shake made is awesome. Great job everyone! Thanks again!

The fish plate was delicious, Haddock I think. Ice cream for dessert and walked around outside the outdoor sitting area to burn one or two calories while taking in the lovely view.

Great seafood, great service, and a great experience! Recommend to anyone who loves traditional snack shack food!

Seafood in Vermont, who knew?! Shrimp was cooked perfect and pretty tasty. Casual atmosphere caught me a little off guard with the prices, but I guess you have to pay to get decent seafood in Vermont! Good parking and easy to find, and staff was friendly. Will go back!

Riley is the sweetest person this side of the Mississippi!!!! Her lobster is to die for. Fantastic restaurant, fantastic service, fantastic food!!!!! A must if your in Vermont!!!!!

Good food will be back.
