Clam chowder was the only saving grace - creamy and rich. Sorry, I felt the lobster roll was flavorless, and for $50, I expected a lot better. Boston cream pie (not shown) was only ok. I’ve had better from the grocery store. Overall, I would not recommend this place. More

Nicole was my server at the B Connector United location.
She was quick, friendly, asked all the right questions, and generally very on top of the situation.
She is one of the best servers I've had in a long time and it was really refreshing!
Legal needs more employees like her (although she will be impossible to clone).
Having nothing to do with her, my lobster roll was delicious, but could have had a little more lobster : )

Because of my gluten, dairy, soy, yeast and numerous other allergies my options here were limited. However they prepared a roll-less lobster roll with lettuce and a side of fries. Just grateful to have one issueless and reaction-free meal on the way home. More

Salad take out was only half full. Obviously when we added the 3rd salad, they didn't make the 3rd one, but split the 2 already made salad into 3 boxes. When we complained, the waitress acted very rude. More

As an airport restaurant, it seemed pretty good, in my opinion, the best one in this Terminal A, when comparing price and menu.
The Chowder is one of the better ones I have had in New England. The fish sandwich was as described and prepared well. The crab salad was equally good and the crab cake was full of crab meat and not fillers.
Service was pleasant but a little overwhelmed I felt. A few of the restaurant prices are high but it’s kind of what one would expect in today’s airports. The chowder I felt was reasonable compared to the usual prices around.

what this restaurant has going for it most is its convenient location by the gates.
The seating is very tight so be ready to be included in your neighbors conversations.
The food for us was hit and miss. My $39 yellowfin tuna was too heavily seasoned with sesame seeds so that it overpowered the actual flavor of the tuna. My wife’s french fries though were some of the best she’s had, as they were perfectly done and tasty.

Best meal I've ever eaten in an airport. Fresh lobster roll jam-packed with lobster meat from tails and claws. Thick, crispy fries, and a solid homemade coleslaw. Excellent local lager. Super wait staff. I watched the Saratoga horse race on a large screen, and chatted with travelers at the bar. Will repeat! More

Last chance for us to have New England seafood before flying home. I'm not sure I've had better clam chowder, and it was a treat to be able to eat fried whole clams. We finished our meal by splitting a piece of Boston cream pie. Overall an excellent lunch, not inexpensive for sure, but quality food for an airport restaurant.

Fish & chips was average. Not bad, but not any better than most places. The Boston Cream Pie dessert was not good. There was no custard like there should be. There was just sponge cake with chocolate topping, whipped cream on the plate, and some sort of cream colored drizzle over it. It was a very disappointing dessert. The waiter was excellent. He was attentive. He brought a drink refill before I finished the first one, without me even having to ask. He also removed the cost of the dessert from the bill without me asking. That was the right thing to do for good customer relations. Nice job!

During a recent layover at Logan International Airport, my family and I decided to dine at Legal Sea Foods, and overall, it turned out to be a satisfying experience.
The food was fresh, flavorful, and truly delicious—exactly what you'd hope for from a seafood restaurant with such a solid reputation. Every dish we ordered hit the spot, and we left the table full and happy with our choices. The restaurant itself had a clean and vibrant atmosphere, which added to the enjoyable dining experience, especially in the usually hectic airport setting.
However, there was one hiccup that left a bit of a sour note. Due to a mix-up with the server, we were mistakenly charged for an extra food that we never intended to order or take. Though we mentioned we didn't want the extra item, it somehow remained on our bill, and we only realized after the fact that we had paid over $30 more than we should have. It wasn’t a deal-breaker, but it was definitely disappointing, especially since it could’ve been easily corrected.
Aside from that oversight, the service was decent and the experience mostly positive. Just be sure to double-check your bill before settling up!

Never miss an opportunity to eat at Legal Seafood if I'm in the Northeast. Expect to wait since this is in the airport and they are always busy. Restaurant is also very crowded since they tried to squeeze as many seats as possible in limited space. Enjoyed the smoked salmon sandwich with fries. Excellent.

The food was great and it was a nice place to wait out a delay at the terminal. Seafood probably wasn't the best thing for me to have before a long plane ride, but their chowder is hard to pass up on.
There seemed to be a weird thing where the staff wait really far from what looks like the host podium where you are supposed to wait, but they didn't approach guests (a small line had formed) until folks got impatient and started seating themselves, then everything was fine after that.

I came to Boston for the first time and before I left this is the first place I was recommended for sea food. If you happen to stop here you will not be disappointed. Delicious lobster regardless of how it's made. Don't let anyone tell you all lobster is the same because it is not. More
