Guidebook for the Fairhaven Seaside Retreat
Food scene
I grew up here and it is around the corner from our house! Their menu can be found on photos on their Facebook page and you call in your orders for pickup. They are cash only. You can’t get more local than this. They also have great breakfast and that menu is on Facebook also. We eat a lot of clam plates and lobster rolls when we visit. Make sure you ask for specials when you call.

This is our go-to takeout pizza and sub place when we visit. It’s Greek. My favorite is their linguica sub with everything on it.

Lazyman’s Lobster is lobster cracked for you and baked and one of our favorites at this restaurant. There is a lot of great clam chowder in the area, but theirs is my favorite. My son loves their bread and spaghetti.
Fun fact: A few years ago, I saw James Spader getting takeout. His family own a home nearby.
