Business Summary what's this?
j. T. Farnham's in the North of Boston area is a one star American restaurant. Reviewers didn't rate this place very highly. This very affordable restaurant has been around for the last 60 years. It's known for its seafood. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a family atmosphere.
4.0 of 5 stars.

Fried whole-bodied clams do not get any better than this. Batter is super light and defiantly adds to the taste of the clams. The onion rings compliment any order here. Lobster Roll was fantastic and...

Farnham's in Essex is a great place to go and enjoy clams, chowder, etc. while looking out at the marshes. I normally get the fried clam strips and they are delicious! The batter is great and doesn't...

Stay AWAY from Woodman's and just go around the CONAH to JT Farnham's. You won't be disappointed. It's a true lobster or fried seafood in the rough experience. Scenic too!
