If you’ve seen Mystic Pizza you might remember seeing Ford’s on the screen. It’s a fresh take on the classic lobster shack and they serve up all the classics in a slightly more upscale way than most shacks. Real plates, an attention to presentation, and some interesting twists on classic dishes makes Ford’s a nice surprise. All the while, still achieving a laid back atmosphere and idyllic New England setting. Like most waterside establishments, this place is BYOB.
