Denmo's Snack & Dairy Bar

"Denmo’s is a happy drive-in with picnic-table seats and an eat-in-the-rough style of service. You wait in line at one of two order windows; while waiting you peruse the posted permanent menu (fried clams and shrimp, hamburgers and hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches and Philly cheese steaks) as well as cards tacked around the menu announcing seasonal and daily specials (soft-shelled crabs, hot lobster roll, soup of the day). When your turn comes, you tell the order-taker what you want, pay for it, and get a number. Then loiter around the third window waiting for your number to be called. While waiting, there is excellent reading material available: a huge communal bulletin board, where locals post notices of services and goods for sale and interesting events coming up. Your meal is presented on a tray, which you carry to a table around the side or in back of the little roadside restaurant.  You’d expect the fried seafood to be good in a place such as this, and it is more than good. The clams – available in the gooey whole-belly configuration or as the chewier and less oceanic “clam strips” – are crisp-crusted and delicious. Shrimp are big and sweet, and there are plenty to an order. The hot lobster roll, a Southern New England specialty that differs from the more typical mayonnaise-bound cold lobster salad roll, is superb. Onion rings and French fries (the latter available either straight or curly) are good, too. We are perpetually wowed by the soups, which are made here daily, and are extraordinarily delicious. Chowder, beef barley, and lentil soup are exemplary; and although they are served in Styrofoam cups with plastic spoons, they have quality and flavor that is anything but cheap.  Denmo’s is also known for its ice cream, which is very good; but by the time we’ve sucked down an excellent Denmo’s chocolate milk shake with our fried clam dinner, we’re seldom in the mood for an ice cream cone …" --http://roadfood.com/Restaurant/Review/185-185/denmos-snack-dairy-bar
