I remember going here often in the 1950s when we lived in the area. I always remembered the best dogs & burgers but my momory placed it in Kent. Always a long line.

I've been going here since I was a toddler in the late 1960s. Let me set your expectations, it's a little pricy. Newsflash It has to be..it's a one of a kind roadside stand open from May to maybe the week after Labor Day. The food is slightly above average and the Summer help ? Usually teens and marginally adequate. However , the quality of the food is above average and it's not the reason you go. Think about it. It has no phone, no address and has thrived seasonally for 85 years. Locals are endeared and keeping coming back not only to support a local business. BTW the owner resides in Baltimore. They come back because of the atmosphere. You are in the last of America's road side stands built out of need during the Great Depression. It's an American story and use your higher mind to understand this, while you sit at a picnic table on a sunny country day in nature, sound of a babbling brook in the background and consume a made to order meal made just for you. Oh yeah if it's raining hard don't bother cuz they just might close!

This is a wonderful little roadside burger stand. The burgers and fries are great, but the onion rings are something special. The only downside is that the parking situation is a little tricky. Nonetheless, it’s well worth a stop.

Aren't many places like this left and it is a shame. My parents first took me here in 1950 and I return every year.

Clamps has been consistently great since 1939. Great place for good food on the side of the road...

I have been going to Clamps for over 50 years now! I believe it has the same owners or family, same decent food, same clean roadside stand atmosphere, hidden gem. My adult children remember it fondly so I sent them these photos! and it is still the same. Quick service, little Oasis on the side of Route 202. Still no signs so don't blink or you will miss it! It still seems like a secret getaway. The food is basic but always good. The prices are still reasonable after all these years. Find a comfortable spot under the trees and enjoy! Easy spot for kids and dogs while traveling.

CLOSED for the season we guess. Service people cleaning the place out said it was permanently closed. Might be seasonal cleaning as they didn't speak English well.
