Been going there for 40 years and always had a great experience, but went there on Thursday with the wife and was very disappointed. I got a Scallop plate which was fine and she got a clam plate which was awful. The clams were so small you could barely see them and we like big bellies they were basically just crust, she complained to a worker that was cleaning up outside and he just apologized. Not good for $40 dollars. Not going back there for a while now, Choate Bridge downtown is the best, should have gone there too begin with.

A bit expensive but hit the spot

Not sure if they were understaffed when I went because I’ve come here a few times and never have I waited this long (in the hot sun) for food - 1 hour 15 minutes between waiting in line to order and then waiting for my food. Granted, they are known for their fried clams (not my favorite) but today I got the fried shrimp plate…way too much breading and rather bland tasting. Could use more seasoning. It would also help to have printed menus handed out to those in line so people could decide what to eat/drink before going up to order…can’t tell you how many people didn’t know their order even after waiting over 45 min in line 🤷♀️ by the time I left the line was much shorter so maybe I came at a bad time but I probably won’t come here as frequently as I used to.

It's a little pricey but the food is unbelievable

The best fried clams in the Boston metropolitan area. A bit pricey, but worth it.

I love stopping here if I'm heading that way for a day ride. The best fried clams ever that's my go to with a drink and all i can eat. Always busy,summer is super busy with outside picnic tables and a great big tent to beat the sun off . Inside seating is small and limited but decent enough for a great clam stop. Love it!
Food: It's all about the oil. They change oil regularly, making the frying light and crisp, as it should be.
Service: It's a self-serve counter.
Atmosphere: It's clean and neat with good parking, and exactly what you'd expect for the decor and style of a traditional New England fried food clam spot.
Parking: More spots than you can quickly count in a big gravel lot.
Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome with both indoor and outdoor seating.

If you blindfolded me and told me I was eating fried clams and homemade onion rings, I would be mildly shocked. We both were looking for flavor in both.
