DJ's Clam Shack Huntington

Stopped in for the first time, take out order for two. This review is about the food and prices. The staff were friendly and helpful, four stars for staff. They have an outdoor seating area which seemed relaxed and pleasant.

Unfortunately DJ's clam shack is overpriced and average quality food. The pictures below are taken of the food as-is, before being touched.

The shrimp comes with either coleslaw or regular fries for $14+ tax. The coleslaw option is apparently a small side to-go condiment cup, like one you would get at a diner. It is also placed on top of the shrimp inside the box so it is very warm- if you like warm coleslaw you might like this style. The fried shrimp was completely unseasoned, tasted only like the fried breading. Not terrible, not worth $14+.

The fried fish fingers come with the same coleslaw or fries, with five 'fingers' for $14+ tax. For this one, the seasoning was very salty and didn't taste like much else. Again, not terrible but not great for $14+ for five thin strips.

I wanted to try DJ's basic items before trying their pricer lobster items sold at MP but unfortunately, I don't think I'll be back.

Drive over on a Monday at 3:30pm and the place was closed. Nothing online indicating that they wouldn’t be open. Hope everything is alright but kind of a waste of a drive out here.

Lobster meat in roll did not taste fresh. Lots of better places.

Lobster rolls were good but my brothers lobster roll had a strand of hair in it

Outside dining casual seafood. Beer and wine.

Closed for season, but not posted on their website.

Clam chowder was normal, Calamari was also not bad, and Mahi Mahi Taco was good! But they gave the clam chowder in the plastic container even though we had it in dining and price was $19, and utensils are only small plastic ones too.. I am not happy with that paid a lot and no good service.

We had the cold double Lobster rolls and the sweet potato fries. The Lobster rolls were delicious and the fries came with a maple aioli sauce that was so tasty. There are plenty of outdoor tables with umbrellas spaced far apart and off street parking in the back. We will definitely go back. We have been back to DJ's many times. Today we went to DJ's with another couple and we all enjoyed the Lobster Rolls and Sweet Potato Fries. The positive experience included Joseph coming outside to our table several times to ask how everything was and if we needed anything. This is awesome customer service and Joseph should be acknowledged for this. He sets a great example for the other employees.

Parking: Plenty of street parking and off street parking in the back.

Friendly staff, place had a cool vibe, I got the clam strip platter. It was mehh. Clams were really small pieces with the smallest not edible. Coleslaw was decent.

Walked in, 3 young adults behind the counter - all on their cell phones; not one head looked up.
We ordered with the young woman. We sat. The food came out quickly; however incorrectly. The young women too busy playing with her phone and inattentive, apparently rang us up wrong which we didn’t realize right away until our food came out. I then had to get up and reorder while my hot roll got cold. No apology whatsoever from the young women.
Food was okay; not enough for the cost - have had cheaper for much better. Don’t think we will be back.
Reading reviews and the owners responses devoid of accountability and responsibility is a very plausible reason for being empty upon our arrival and having such negative reviews.

Pricey. $24 for a lobster roll that lacked flavor; garlic, butter and every thing is kinda nickel and dimed. Like asking for butter is a “side” and a charge. Service is fast and brought to the table in this quaint shack. Friendly folks. Just not worth the money for what you get. Even drinks are $16 unless it’s a soda- way too high but was good. Focus on customers, the environment , not just being on cell phones.

DON’T waste your time or money! Terrible Customer Service - owner Greg’s responses devoid of accountability and responsibility paired with false accusations are a very plausible reason for being empty upon our arrival and having such negative Google reviews on their service. Flavor and quantity lacking in everything.

Service was okay, atmosphere was alright, food was not bad. Great spot! Sunset view, on the water.

Incredibly expensive for mediocre at best. Two small drinks were $31. A premade Tito’s Lemonade and Pina Colada. Enough said.

Clam chowder was tasty. Sandwiches, not so much.
Ok for a quick bite on the run.
