I've been going to Pops for years and never had a bad meal. Great food friendly staff and the fisherman's platter is more than enough for two people but I'm greedy and don't share because it's to good. Buy your own 🤤

Clams and scallops perfect, as always. Onion rings over cooked & had outside skins. Not good!

This is one of our go-to spots for seafood. Had the clams in the scallops yesterday and they were great. However this is our third time (&last time) ordering the onion rings. They were overcooked badly and a bunch of them was the outside string skin of an onion. Other than that will be back for the seafood.

Honestly, nothing better. Get the food to go and go sit by the water. Amazing....always top quality! Worth the line!!

As a former Executive Chef I was pretty disappointed with service. We called to ask what they do in the case of handicap persons who could not stand in long lines and the person he quite frankly didn't care. This is a huge sign of disrespect to whom have physical health issues and really should be reported to the proper agency for lack of accommodations towards the handicap. The comes the food the test of take out is how well it travels and unfortunately it doesn't travel well, the allow for the food to continue to steam itself the way it is packaged. Thus, over cooking the food. They also had inconsistent cooking on the food as some was darker than the other, this usually means one of two things old oil, the temperature of the fryer is too high. Or they are not allowing the temperature of the fryer to rebound. They also appear to cook chicken in the same oil as you could not tell the difference but by texture. This is not proper cooking procedure at all in commercial kitchens. This actually could cause cross contamination in the foods as well. The scallops were rubbery, haddock and chicken were dry, and French fries limp. When looking at the paper bag I could tell only shook the food not letting it rest for sixty seconds for the oil to r drain off. The whole belly clams were extremely chewy as well. I quite frankly will never return to this place as they disrespect people and the food. When you get food like that the fish killed was in vein and no respect for it's life or for those who harvested it for us to eat. Although, I give this review the way I do, it is up to you if you like quality food or subpar.

The world over, there is only one Pop’s Clam Shell on Alton Bay. We have never had a bad clam, oyster, scallop or anything else there. If you don’t want a New England fried seafood meal, don’t stop here
