I will always rate this restaurant a 5 since I am from a New England and love the northern seafood. Can’t eat the seafood in Florida. Just not the same. When we start to need our northern seafood fix we always visit the Essex restaurant in Pierson Fl. We went on Saturday night and I ordered the clam strips and scallops. I do not believe the scallops were really scallops since they were all flat like medallions and all the same size. Definitely not the round sea scallops I have always had. Not the flavor or the consistency of a real scallop. Were they real scallops? Has anyone else had the same experience?

Steamers and Haddock are the best in Florida. From a man who grew up in New England…..

Nothing worse than getting home to find your takeout is missing a side. First and last visit.

Great food, good service.
My very picky spouse had the Fried shrimp. It had a light coating of breading nice and crisp. He said it was really good.
Haddock and Grouper both very good. The onion rings were yummy as well.

Love the small sized restaurant. Very intimate and reminiscent of New England and the freshness of the fish. It's all good!

I am originally from Boston and had visited Essex I in Essex Massachusetts and loved it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Essex II here in Pierson Florida. Love the atmosphere, the wait staff and most of all the delicious seafood. The fried clams and scallops combo is my favorite!

We make special trips in order to drive by and stop in for some of my husband's FAVORITE fried clams. Always excellent!!

The fried clams were like no other I Have ever had, delicious. We were disappointed upon arrival to find once we parked a little sign on the front door that read "Cash Only" so we had to go to an ATM. We have driven by this place many times and saw their signage advertising world famous clams by the roadside but think that the CASH ONLY should also be displayed largely roadside before people make the trip there.
Our server that day was not very attentive once she took and delivered the order however that did not affect our appetite.
If you want good seafood this is the place.

The best seafood in Florida. Price is VERY reasonable and food quality/quantity outstanding! Will not eat at another seafood restaurant again. Nothing compares. I can't say enough good things about this place. From the staff, to the food, to the location,. Very down to earth and worth the drive to Astor. Nothing fancy, just good seafood reasonably priced!

I live within 5 miles of the original Essex Seafood in Essex, MA and cannot believe it is just as good here in FL.

March 21, 2010 I went to the restaurant I had people from Fl, New York and my self from Essex and Gloucester, MA
At 3 in the afternoon it was very busy we were seated right away by a very nice waitress she took our Beverage order and was back in a few moments when we gave her our food order. In a short amount of time of ordering "Twin Lobster Dinner" she came with one Lobster each She told us when you are done with the one Lobster she will bring the other one over which will be very hot for us.
The food was very good and the service was excel ant. I will be sure to go back again. I suggest that you stop in if you are in the area.

Expecting to find a good seafood restaurant in Florida, especially for a New Englander is next to impossible. However, friends of mine suggested the Essex Two Restaurant. My friend and I almost passed this restaurant as it's very plain from the outside. The food, however, is not! We both ordered the fried clam dinner, expecting to probably get good fried clams, but nothing to rave about. Were we ever surprised when our dinners came! The fried clams were fresh and better than anything that we've ever had, even in New England; the portions were so large that we had to take a doggie bag home; the price was fair; the service was excellent and "homey" and we left raving about our meals. This restaurant is absolutely the best and I can't wait to return to Florida to have the best seafood ever!

New England seafood is here in Florida! Authentic as can be. Couldn't ask for more unless I was in Essex, MA itself.
