Gate-side seafood in Terminal B before a long-haul out of BOS
Legal C Bar sits in Terminal B post-security, in the higher $$$ bracket, and it’s the go-to sit-down seafood spot on that side of Logan when you actually want a real meal before a transcon or Europe run. It’s a full-service offshoot of Legal Sea Foods, with a 4.0 rating and a proper bar, so this is a “sit for 45–60 minutes” play, not a 10‑minute grab-and-go.
Menu focus is chowder, raw bar, and classic New England seafood; a bowl of clam chowder and a drink can easily hit $25–$30, and full entrees push you toward $40+ once you add a beer or glass of wine. Travelers say the clam chowder and oysters are the safest bets, while heavier fried plates are less consistent and not worth the premium at airport prices.
Bar seating turns over faster than tables, especially during the 5–8 p.m. bank of BOS departures from B. Regulars grab a stool at the bar, order chowder and a couple of raw bar items, and keep it simple with a draft beer or a glass of white. That move keeps the total under control compared with a full appetizer–entrée–dessert sequence.
Service can bog down when the dining room is full; more than one review mentions 30+ minute waits for entrees during peak times. Several diners also flag the pricing as steep even by airport seafood standards, so expect a higher bill than the burger joint two gates away. If you show your server your boarding pass when you sit, they can sometimes warn you if the kitchen is backed up and steer you toward quicker items.
Practical tip: If your departure from Terminal B is inside 45 minutes, skip mains and just hit chowder and raw bar at the bar; if you’ve got 60–90 minutes, this is where you park for a proper pre-flight seafood meal.
