Good spot to grab some take out and a drink as you wait for the Fire Island ferry. Friendly service at the take out counter, good comfort food, large selection of seafood fares, and reasonable prices.Parking: Parking is free if you just come to grab a quick order to go, but you'll have to use the paid parking lot if you're staying longer.

This was a takeout order getting off the ferry. They didn't have clam chowder. They did have fish chowder that had more corn starch thickener than seafood. Maybe it was end of season and very little demand? Not expected from a great chowder house.

Absolutely loved this place. Everyone is so nice, service was fast, food is good! They currently have a fall drink menu and it's delish. 10/10 will be coming back in the future

You can sit right down and service is fast and friendly! The prices are way up from two years ago , but so are everyone else's.

Local long island clam bar that's open seasonally to service primarily the fire island crowds. Went here with the family for the first time, the dining area is small with a bar, there's also outdoor dining with a walk up order bar. The prices were reasonable and the food was good, not great. The service was great as they're used to quick turnover. At one point I had to remove a gnat from my water, not sure if he flew in while I was eating or if it had always been there. Great seafood choices. Go when the ferry isn't running.. parking isn't the best... but I'd go back.

Nicky’s Clam Bar really blew away my expectations! The mussels (garlic & white wine + porky version) were divine. The Surf & Turf burger was delicious!Add to that fresh brewed root beer and crème brûlée cheesecake. Wow ?

I found this place by chance and it is now a weekly stop for me. The clams are great (best in LI) and so are the prices. The people that work here -- mostly young -- are so friendly. The atmosphere is very "old skool"/classic. I LOVE THIS PLACE.

Our first stop before getting on the ferry. You can even call ahead and have your food ready to take with you on the ferry, if you're time is tight. You can also go inside to sit down and eat. Although I only got a bagel with cream cheese this time, it's always been great service and food - not gourmet but still pretty good. Lots of breakfast choices which is much appreciated. I've never had anything I didn't like here. They also have good drinks to kick off or finish your trip on the island.
