When does the clambox open

This year is a March 2nd opening date. I hope to see you guys there to start the season.

Are you open now

Yes they open

Is the clam box going out of business ?

Closed for the season

When are you open for DoorDash? Every time I check it says close

They opened this week, but subject to weather. Call it a soft opening. This time of year, you should call ahead. Call the Clam Box, directly.

What's better, the whole belly fried clams or the lobster roll?

They are both excellent. If you feel like something liter go fo the crab roll. If you feel like something more like comfort food I would try the clams.

Do you take debit or cash only?

They take both cash and credit and their food is great

Came from Michigan to visit and stopped by here and it was long line but worth it. Line didn't stay it keep moving and quick orders. Food was fresh n hot. And good worth of money. Platters can share with 2 or 3 people.

Fresh seafood! Good sized portions & the onion rings are really good. I haven't had a bad dish yet. The COVID-19 ordering system is good also. The wait isn't bad. They are dining in as well.

The food is pretty good, they sell alot of what you would expect at a beach side restaurant: fried fish, fries, clam chowder, etc. When I was there there was a huge line extending out into the sidewalk and it took a while to get our food. I would definitely want to go at least one more time, hopefully on a less busy day but such a time might not exist.

I don’t think you can even call this seafood. Ordered French fries, they were barley even cooked. The lobster roll tasted like a piece of rubber and sauce that was on top was one of the worst I have tasted. Over priced for two rolls and small fry. If considering seafood, I would consider somewhere else

The best fried whole belly clams you can get in Massachusetts. The clams are nearly twice the size of other restaurants if you go during the summer between June and July. Don’t go when they open or towards the end of the season in October. The clams are very small then. Portions are big usually, although it seems as though it has gotten smaller recently. Fish and chips, as well as the seafood platter are great deals as well compared to legal seafoods and other restaurants.

Not worth the money. We got the fried clams and the fried fish plate and unfortunately everything was really bad. There was total lack of seasoning and we only got one teensy salt packet, so we couldn't even fix it ourselves. Both the fish and clams were greasy (not a good fry job), and the clams did not seem like they were freshly fried - more like they were scooped from a pile of already fried clams. Even the tartar sauce was unredeemable; it tasted like they mixed overly sweet relish in with mayo and it actually made the seafood taste worse.Definitely feel like we wasted a lot of money on this very disappointing meal.

Love the food here. Nice sized portions pay a little more because of location. They are doing very good with social distance and keeping the line moving!!! I felt safe from the beginning! Do bring your own pen to sign receipt;)

I had the seafood platter which I hope gave me good insight to the spectrum of offers. The fried food was a bit too fatty for me and by that the individual products lost their own character. So all tasted more or less the same with varying consistencies. The fries were just soggy and plain. All in all it was OK-to-almost-good, but not extraordinary,so not worth 5 stars. When you're on the beach, it probably is a good snack.

So overall I think the food was good. But the fish and chips meal need more fish. They pile on the fries and give you way too little fish for what you pay for. Maybe I need to just get the stand-alone fish and chips meal and not the combo with the slaw. Other than that I did enjoy my time there.

Fried Whole Clam Belly Plate, with cole slaw and fries. The fried clam bellies were excellent, not overly fried or saturated in batter, still taste the clams! A good size meal that will fill you.

The food here is absolutely delicious, BUT don’t go on a holiday like Mother’s Day. They take their time and call one number about every 8 minutes. Took about two hours to get our food from the time we got in line. I think they were trying to make it look like they were more popular that day than they actually were. They weren’t nearly as busy as on a regular summer day, but definitely a heck of a lot slower. Low # of stars is because of the terrible service.

Yo this place is the business my mom, and I really enjoyed ourselves here. They have a free refill soda, and tea station, and the staff is really friendly as well, and their 2-way combo plate in which I got the shrimp, and scallops were fried to perfect, and not overly greasy. Their onion rings were also made to perfection...
