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

Everytime I visit Bradenton I stop in for a delious bite to eat. Very casual, laid back, and most of the time live music.

If you ever find yourself in the area you must try The Clam. The friendliest place with such good food. It never disappoints.

I've loved CCF and given 5 stars. This visit was bad. Old tasting blackened fish. No sides received, overworked server.

Wonderful meals at a place where locals go. I had the beer battered shrimp. Wife had the full belly Ipswich clams and daughter had the blackened fish tacos. Yeah it's a hole-in-the-wall kinda place but good food and friendly service wins out every time!

Absolutely love this place, think about Cheers where Norm walks in. This place reminds me of the joints I went to back in the ‘70s local bars that had great food and everybody had a good time

Love this place. The BLT and when they have the 1.25lbs fresh lobster is the best.
