What User likes about Pop's Clam Shell:
I have been dining at this restaurant since the 1960s and I have never been let down. The clam dishes are my favorite, especially the clam strips, in terms of both quality and portion size. View all feedback.

What User doesn't like about Pop's Clam Shell:
The fried mussels were delicious, but the calamari lacked flavor. The fish and chips had a good portion size, but were not particularly standout. It was worth a try, especially for the well-seasoned sauce, but overall, they didn't quite hit the mark. View all feedback.

**Dining at Pop's Clam Shell: A Mixed Experience** Nestled by the lake, Pop's Clam Shell offers a diverse seafood menu that has garnered mixed reviews. Many diners rave about the fried clams and lobster rolls, highlighting generous portions and fresh flavors. However, some dishes like calamari and onion rings left patrons yearning for more seasoning and flavor. While the service generally receives high praise, a few recent experiences fell short of expectations. With its charming atmosphere and friendly staff, Pop's remains a popular choice for seafood lovers, though not all menu items may live up to the hype. Visit with an open mind and appetite!.
