Wicked Good news for Somerset
Somerset is officially on “Stuffie Watch.”
Something wicked this way comes very soon, asWicked Good Stuffiesprepares to crack open its shell and welcome local seafood lovers inside.
Chef Paul Booras, who also runs Somerset’s iconic dining train Railway Pie, shared a sneak peek this week of his latest venture, Wicked Good Stuffies, which will be opening 108 County St. in mid-May, according to a video posted on theeatery’s Facebook page.
“We're getting close to shuckin this place open,” their post states.
The video teased nautical-themed interior as well as a look at their menu chocked full of mouth-watering scratch-made coastal staples.
Countdown is on:Wicked Good Stuffies restaurant coming soon to Somerset. What to know
Wicked Good Stuffies will feature a unique take on quick-service seafood centered around an array of classic and specialty stuffies (stuffed quahogs) and salty fare that’s different from the fried food you’ll find at local clam shacks.
“You can drop by for stuffed clams and chowder to go or pick up an order from our counter to freeze or bake at home. Either way, you’ll leave with some of the freshest, highest quality seafood in New England,” their website reads.
Booras is chartering a new course with the debut of Wicked Good Stuffies, a sister restaurant to Railway Pie — a craft pizza and bar car that opened at the 938 Lees River Ave. train in July 2025 — and Rehoboth Baking Co. at 7 Park St. in Rehoboth.
Within the next week, you can stop in for a taste of Wicked Good Stuffies offerings which include hot stuffies ready to eat and specialty stuffies cooked to order, soups such as clam boil, clam chowder and weekly specials, and small bites like jalapeño stuffie poppers, avocado on the half shell, hot crab dip, and crab cake bites.
For those looking for something light, there are roughly a dozen tasty salads to choose from. Options also include sandwiches like Buffalo chicken salad, shucked stuffie, crab cake, crab dip quesadilla, tuna salad, shrimp salad and more (served on a toasted brioche roll or sourdough wrap). The menu includes several gluten-free items.
Their Take and Bake menu highlights their array of stuffies — from classic to linguiça, chouriço, bacon jalapeño, or Mozambique — and most regular menu options available by the dozen or by the pound.
The County Street restaurant also has a small retail section featuring various tinned sardines, fish and other specialty salty provisions.
Wicked Good Stuffies will be open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. for takeout, as well as delivery and catering orders.
