Roht Marine

A great time at Roht Marine! My husband & I were visiting friends and stayed here 3 nights, over Labor Day weekend. Erich was an extremely gracious host — he met us after midnight on our arrival date, as we were late arriving, due to traffic. The next morning he was up, ready to make us breakfast! I happened to be on back-​to-​back conference calls one day, missed breakfast, so Erich offered a choice of lunch items from the marina menu (no charge).
We also rented a small boat over at the marina and sampled drinks/​snacks. Perfect fare for a marina — the kids working there were all very polite & hardworking.
Looking forward to our next visit!

I wanted to rent a boat there and they accepted my deposit. After confirming, at different times, with three of the staff members that my deposit could be used on a different date if the weather was bad, the owner ended up stating that we could not move the date even though thunder storms were predicted all day… definitely not where you want to be in a boat. He kept the deposit and was exceptionally rude, even though I had the names of the employees that I spoke with. Said I was lying. Would not trust this location — ever! The worst customer service!

After hearing about this new Marshfield «Hot Spot», my husband and I stopped for lunch on a Saturday afternoon at 11:45 am. Since it was not really a good boating day we were able to avoid the typical lunch rush. There were only a three tables occupied and 4 people in line when we arrived. We waited in line for 10 minutes to place our order.
We ordered the Baked Stuffed Haddock ($ 15), Mixed Green Salad with Lobster ($ 19) and Spicy Shrimp Flatbread ($ 15).
After 45 minutes, the Baked Stuffed Haddock was brought to the table. My husband was disappointed with the small portion served, but it was tasty and served with a fresh green salad.
After 50 minutes, the Mixed Green Salad with Lobster was delivered. The mixed greens were very fresh and the lobster salad was good. However, for the price I would have expected a little more lobster.
After 65 minutes, the Spicy Shrimp Flatbread was served. This was by far the biggest disappointment. It was really a rectangular buffalo shrimp pizza, meaning it was doused with a buffalo sauce, had 12 very small shrimp, was not fully cooked. The cheese wasn’t even fully melted. While the crust would have been good if it had been fully cooked, it is not technically a flatbread, as it contained yeast.
Overall Impression:
Service — The service was very slow. We arrived at 11:45 am and were served the final portion of our meal at 1:15. Each piece of the order came out one at a time. I would have expected the lobster salad to be delivered with the broiled fish.
Food — Aside from the pizza, the food we were serve was tasty. Portions of what we ordered were small for the price. I would say that the fried items looked like the portions may have been larger.
Bar — We did not have a beverage from the bar. But the cocktails looked good.
Atmosphere — It is nice being on the water, but the deck is small and the tables are packed in tight. If you go on a beautiful sunny day, I would expect the wait would be very long. There is also limited car parking. This may be a better boat destination, if you call and then pick up your order from the water.

Hidden gem with a view! Erich’s Clam Shack has super friendly people and great food. Beautiful little spot to enjoy a bite and cold beer outdoors. Family friendly too.

The fried clams are just amazing… imagine steamers with a touch of very lightly breaded, lightly fried batter. Very delicate, super fresh. I’ve also sampled the fried fish, I think it was haddock, also very lightly fried. You get your drink at the tiny bar which has a couple indoor seats, then order your food and they bring it to you. A busy place, right on the North River, great place on a nice afternoon.

Ridiculously good flatbread pizza and salads. You’d never know this place is a restaurant (window service) from the road, but it’s really good. Full bar and great views.

The best kept secret in Marshfield! (Not for long). Not only can you come to Roht Marine to launch your boat into the North River for am inexpensive daily rate, but you can rent one of their boats, in many sizes for a day on the water. They have little, easy to use skiffs all the way up to a party pontoon boat. Head to the «Spit» for a half or full day of stress free fun on a beautiful beach. When you return, treat yourself to some of the best seafood on their deck… fried clams, scallops, fish n chips! They even sell turkey sandwiches complete with cran and stuffing! Top it off with a frappé or ice cream for the kids while you visit the new bar and grab beer wine or a signature «spit», the best fruity rum drink around! Oh, and did I mention the beautiful deck over the North River with spectacular views? Best riverside sunset. I swear I don’t even work at this place… I just live in Marshfield and psyched it’s only two miles from my house… our new family favorite !!
