The Clam Box, a long-time favorite among loyal customers, has unfortunately seen a decline in quality in recent years. While it had a reputation for serving delicious, well-prepared seafood in the past, recent reviews highlight issues like undercooked clams, lack of seasoning, and even reports of food poisoning. On the brighter side, other diners have enjoyed their experience, praising the delicious fried seafood and friendly service. Despite the mixed reviews, the restaurant continues to be a popular spot for those craving classic New England seafood dishes.

For over 60 years I've been faithful to the fried clams at Kelly's on Revere Beach claiming they were THE BEST. Always disappointed when people told me about other places they liked better. Well today Kelly's met their match! Although a longer drive to the Clam Box in Ipswich, they were worth every bite!! Pricey but yummy. $75 for 1 small clam box, 1 lobster roll and a beer. The place is very cute with indoor and outdoor seating. Yep, we'll be back!!

I?ve been coming here for years and years and years. I look forward to it whenever I travel to the area, and it never, ever disappoints. As I?m eating, I wish I could stay hungry so I can eat more. The prices have gone way up due to food costs, and Istill couldn?t give them my money fast enough. The clam chowder is among the best you?ll ever have. The fried clams are fromanother world they are so good. The restaurant itself lacks any pretentiousness, and I just wish I had a place like this closeto where I lived. I?d get my mail there I?d be there so often.
