Clam Box
4.1 / 5 (6604 reviews)

Description

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.

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.

Quintessential roadside New England seafood stop. Generous portions, picnic tables around back to sit and enjoy their delicious fried goodness. Ipswich brewery was pouring last time we went which was a great addition. Even if the line is long, it movesquickly. Worth the wait for sure.

We shared a *small* box of native clams as an afternoon snack, and it was absolutely delicious and enough. Better than the rest of the clam snacks around!

An incredible local seafood spot! A must try. I like Clam Box better than some other local competitors. Fresh always, and they change their oil daily! Plenty of indoor outdoor seating, but I prefer outdoor seating at the picnic tables under thecanopies. Not cheap but reasonable price point. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great (mostly fried) seafoodspot.
