Nicky's Clam Bar is a popular seafood spot known for its friendly service and varied menu. It's a favorite for take-out, especially for those waiting for the Fire Island ferry. The menu features a wide range of seafood options, including clams casino and fresh flounder sandwiches. Visitors praise the restaurant for its fresh seafood, with steamers being a standout favorite—described as fabulous, sweet, and delicious. The soft shell crabs are also highly recommended, considered one of the best. The location feels like a hidden gem, tucked away behind the ferry parking lot, adding to its charm. The fried oysters are noted as the best ever, with a custardy, oceany flavor. The staff is consistently praised for their wonderful service, making it a welcoming place to enjoy a satisfying seafood meal. However, some have mentioned that prices can be high, and some dishes, like the lobster roll, may not meet expectations. Overall, Nicky's Clam Bar is loved for its fresh seafood, friendly staff, and convenient location.
