Friendly staff and delicious seafood!

I've been going to the Berlin Mart since I was a kid and I've never stopped to eat here until today. We got a lobster roll to split and it was perfect- they do it Connecticut style topped with old bay. It was loaded with lobster, drowning in warm butter, and honestly a steal for $25 considering lobster rolls elsewhere in this part of the east coast (and even up in the northeast) will run you $30+ generally.

The woman at the counter was very sweet, we asked how her day was going and she gave us a big smile and some chitchat. The lemonade was great, too- could tell it was house made and not from a soda tap or a mix.

Will definitely be stopping by again on my next visit, thanks for the great service and food.

Vitale's Clam Bar at the world famous Berlin Farmer's Market is excellent! 5 stars is not enough! The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming! Anthony and Debbie are extremely pleasant and do whatever they can to make you feel comfortable and ensure that you have an incredibly great and fun dining experience! But of course, the MOST IMPORTANT REASON TO GO THERE....IS HOW TREMENDOUS AND DELICIOUS THE FOOD IS! Everything is extremely fresh and prepared with love and pride. Whatever you order is fantastic! You'll have to return many, many times to try all the delicious choices! You can also order great food to take home. I can't recommend Vitale's Clam Bar enough! Go there and experience it for yourself! You'll enjoy it and you'll let your family and friends know!
What are you waiting for? Get in the car and go! Oh, of course check the days and hours that they're open first. Lol.

If you love raw clams, this place is a must. They serve the coldest, freshest, and best-shucked clams on the East Coast—always top quality. Their lobster rolls are easily some of the best in South Jersey, and if you’re lucky enough to catch a batch of their ceviche, don’t think twice, grab a container—it’s incredible. The staff is super friendly and clearly takes pride in what they do. As someone who has tried raw clams from restaurants all throughout south jersey, including right along the shoreline, there is truly no other place I'd prefer to go for a plate of clams. I’ve been here dozens of times, and I’m always looking forward to my next visit!

I have been to the clam bar for over 30 yrs. The past 2 times I have been there were nothing but misery. About 2 wks or ago I took my husband and daughter to eat at the clam bar, we were greeted by an older woman who is miserable, seems she doesn't like her job. She was cocky, and wore an ugly face , no smile nothing. Seemed as if we were bothering her. I let it go since everyone has bad days, especially in customer service.
Well I went back last weekend, same lady there, I went to the outside this time wanted to bring a bag of clams home.
The first person I encountered was busy selling insense.
I waited in line. No biggie, right?
Then an older man came out and looked at me and said something to the guy selling insense along the line , you know you have to sell clams too, right?
He looked at me , said " I work in the kitchen, not outside" mind you I haven't said a word, just looking at clams observing.
Many mins later the insense guy was asking what I needed, very polite. I said Id like 50 cherry stone. He showed me the cherry stone and I apologized since I asked for wrong clams. I asked about the smaller ones , he told me they were little necks. This conversation was smooth.
He then asked me to go inside, mind you I was already instructed I had to buy them outside.
So I go inside, yeah cocky, no smile lady at the front.
I walked up and asked if they had any little necks, here is the convo
Her: no
Me: do you know when you will have them, since last 2 wks they didn't have them to buy to take home
Her: we have only enough to get us thru since we are closed sunday
Me: (mis interpreted or she spoke wrong) I asked oh you are closed all Sundays?
Her: no, with this mean look pointed to some sign and rudely said No JUST this Sunday.
Me: at this point I have given up, I got pretty loud and said you know you all asked me to wait outside for clams, which I did and it turned out to be a waste of my time
Her; well oh well.
Me: this is when i really got mad, I yelled some things I cannot repeat on this post , Ive benn going my entire life since a small child when my dad brought me.
Now its ran down, obviously owned by rude people.
Never again will I go to the once known awesome clam bar

Tried the CT Lobster Roll , generous portion of sweet lobster meat- absolutely a banger deal for $22. If you’re not into Old Bay seasoning- let them know- at first i was confused but it paired well with the sweet lobster meat.

The Lemonade was actually really good!

Will need to come back to try the clams/oysters!

10 out of 10!

My softshell crab sandwich was just super crispy breading. Did not taste any crab. Should have looked in the display case first at the soft shell crabs before ordering. Everything else might be good but not the soft shell crab. Was very disappointed.

Tried to tell person at counter about Facebook special. Person was rude and dismissive. Overpriced for poor quality and amount.
