Platter for one can feed up two people easily. Portion is huge. Seafood caps are also recommended. Lots of parking spots at back.

This is the best restaurant of all time, bar none. The clams and the buckets are both phenomenal and left me gob smacked. The clammy environment was just perfect and left a smile on my face! Highly recommend!

This casual restaurant was just around the corner from our accommodations, so I glanced at their menu while walking our dog and decided to come back for dinner. Reservations are a good idea I think; we made one for 7pm Sunday night, and the restaurant seemed fairly busy when we got there and there was a short wait for our table. We shared a bucket of clams and mussels as appetizer, and each of us had cod and chips as our main. The clams and mussels were very nice, just a butter sauce I think; not at all chewy as we often experience, maybe because they were so fresh? Highly recommended. I made a bit of a mistake with my cod and chips; I chose to substitute ( for $2) a Caesar salad for my cole slaw, when if fact it was a substitute for my chips ( fresh cut, so I was hugely looking forward to them). All was well as it turned out, as my wife’s large portion of chips was enough for both of us, so I had the best of both worlds. A pint of local ale, and a marguerita ( both very reasonably priced) and we both went away very happy. I’d come back in a flash.

The restaurant is in need of a deep clean...don't get me wrong the food is great and the service is awesome but when using the washrooms ? one should not see dirt up all the walls leading into the rest rooms, also a very dirty storage area .

Great place to get some seafood. You won't be disappointed. We had the platter for two and it was too much for 4 of us but ohhhhhh so good. Definitely worth the small 30 min wait we had to do because we didn't know we should get a reservation. I would recommend getting the reservation for sure next time.

It was horrible. Clam Bucket used to be the place to Dine, now I won't be back... other people are saying it is hit and miss and has been for quite awhile now. When I was here it was 1997 and it was excellent!! Burger wasn't good, the veggie sand. Was horrible, barely a smear of avocado, tomatoe and cucumber was sliced too thick, couldn't bite the sand. properly. The shrimp jumbolyla was blah, no flavor, just noticed the heat from the spice. Needed to say something, otherwise how will they ever know. Sorry.
