My favorite ice cream on the way home from work. A pistachio gal with sometimes having the chocolate by death/PB oreo tendencies. My favorite since I was child. And for dad, the banana boat !!

This place has the best fried scallops. My wife and I share a haddock & fries and a small scallop, just enough. We love this place. 6/9/2022 This is an update to the previous review. This place is run by two brothers (I think) they are the only cook that I seen fry the seafood and they do a great job. We always order fry haddock & fries and scallops. Today we added the fried whole clams, they were the best. Keep up great cooking..

Came up for vacation from Florida and was relieved to find Charlton Ronnie's was still open! Haven't been to Ronnie's in over a decade and it hasn't change! Still amazing!

We were driving from NJ to Boston and searched for fish and chips and this place showed up. The fish was crunchy and delicious and not greasy. We ordered to go, but seems like a great place to sit down and enjoy your meal. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

The food is immaculate every time I come here, the clam fritters are my all time fave they have just the right ratio of batter to clam every time. Food always comes quick even when they’re slammed which is often because the place is great. I love sitting in the back room, it has a sunroom vibe to it and is a little quieter than the rest of the building. Also can’t leave here without peppermint stick ice cream!! it’s the best!

Ronnies has been a staple in my life for over 40 years, and they have not waivered in their ability to produce the best Damm fried seafood I have had. Wether it be class, fish, shrimp or fries it's the best. Sad when the auburn location shut but glad Charlton is still there
