We hadn’t been to the clam factory in a year and a half so we decided to give it a try last night. Wow, were we shocked at the quality of the food has went way down. Potato skins were still raw. We used to love to dance on the dance floor now they put tables there now. The gentleman that was live entertainment was playing but with all five TVs were going , it was really hard to hear his songs. really what happened to this great restaurant. 😢😢😢

Good whole belly clams. Service was good. Bar atmosphere which was fine. Just not where I normally have dinner with my family.

What a hidden gem! Outstanding food, awesome service, great atmosphere. I just fell in love with this place. What a traditional Florida place. You won't find this everywhere. Enjoy yourselves!!!

The food was amazing. Joe took good care of me! The whole place is a vibe. You can tell they have a lot of regulars and they were comforting as well. Love to see a place like this thrive. The wedding soup was great! The Rueben was amazing! I can’t believe as a native I’ve missed out this long!

when we first walked in it was so dark and gloomy. as we sat at the bar we ordered food and my wife’s shrimp cocktail sat on the counter as we watched it get covered in flies along with everybody else’s dishes that were sitting on the counter. The staff saw it, but still served everybody their food that had just been covered and flies, and I refuse to take my wife’s meal. I ordered the steamers and luckily they came out and came right to me, so there was no flies. They were mediocre at best, but as I was eating them, a roach came running across the counter right at me trying to join and eat my dinner. what an absolutely disgusting place we knew it was a dive bar, and we are ok with that, we didn’t know It was a dumpster bar. We didn’t pay for anything and just left. I had no choice, but I have one star, if there was negative stars, they would’ve gotten that.
Theresa is a great server!!! And we loved the Crabby Balls and the blackened grouper sandwich. Shucks we really loved it all! This restaurant wouldn’t be the same without her. #

Walked through the door and the first thing I noticed was two bars. Bartender noticed me immediately and told me to sit anywhere. Waitress was with us as soon as we sat down food was there within five minutes. While we were there a lady came from the back and noticed some crumbs on a table and had them cleaned immediately. If you are looking for high class go elsewhere. This is a typical hole in the wall with the absolute best service and incredible food. I had fried clams (best I've had since Maine...whole belly yay) and my dad had pulled pork also delicious. our waitress Skyler was a delight. Very attentive and friendly. One of the best experiences I've had since moving to Florida
