About Us

Over 100 years ago, Lawrence “Chubby” Woodman invented the fried clam. Ever since then, Woodman’s seafood restaurant has been serving up hearty portions of seafood and memories to generations of loyal customers! Woodman's has been serving traditional New England fare for over 100 years. Our menu items are gluten-free, clean, locally fresh with plenty of options for families and kids. There’s something for everyone at Woodman’s of Essex!
