The Clam Box - Quincy, MA (Phantom Gourmet)

They just don't make places like this anymore. Located on Wollaston Beach, The Clam Box has been a summertime staple in Quincy for decades. This seaside mainstay fries up fresh seafood by the boatload, all served from a busy countertop where customers pick up their food and grab as much tartar sauce as they need before finding a table.

I went there while I took my dogs to the vet. Amazing. Really worked the hype.

I love this series! Always informative and always making me hungry! The thing I like best though, are the hosts. Unlike so many other shows of this type, where the hosts think they are comedians, they don't try to make it about themselves, they instead focus on the restaurants and the food. Bravo! A very happy subscriber.

Just moved to Quincy!! This series is helping me find great spots to try out

[@bighuge1060]

I moved in a month after you. It's such a great city. Great clam chowder.

[@robertjeanconlin5922]

Just got back from a sunny Sunday afternoon meal at the Clam Box. Six of us-and everybody left full and happy. Great food all around, and cooked perfectly!!! We do not live too far away and were trying to figure out why we had not been there in such a long time. That's something that will change!!!

[@lowd747]

The bill must have exceeded $200. Can you afford it in this Biden ecoomy?

[@dentatusdentatus1592]

Man! That clam dude looks and sounds like Regis Philbin.

[@debbiezullo7056]

Those clams looks like it be worth the flight from LAX! From Southern California with love 💋

[@andredonald6372]

the owner of Clam box passed away and she also was part of family ownership.
Tony's clams is the second oldest seafood restaurant still on Quincy shore drive till the very day .

[@kevincameron192]

I too love coming into the clambox!

[@vena936]

OMG everything look so delicious! I want to go there

[@PatBythrow]

The whole fried clams are outstanding! Try them without the tartar sauce and tell me I'm wrong.

[@rickeymitchell8620]

Good Lord that seafood looks good!

[@burttrattner2067]

Anybody know how to coat the clams? Simply eggs milk. And flour? What else?

[@keyonpurvis2614]

My favorite spot

[@MarielleMurphy]

One of the guys eating there use to work at the local Post Office near my home.

[@erindbs5519]

Marielle Murphy. Hey im your mailman. Thats so cool. I use to open an read your stuff an throw some of it away

[@kelly_seastar]

[@justtastydelicious7159]

hallo!thats an amazing video.how long did it take you to make this video?

[@jeffxl12]

You should try Ronnie's on Rt 20 in Auburn Massachusetts. Fresh fish. He gets it fresh every morning on the docks around Boston area and drives it back. Started with 3 deep fryers now probably 15 or more. Summer there is a line and it will take you 15 minutes or more to order. Worth every penny.
That guy has it right about the clams. Yum

[@frankroberts3596]

I stopped there once. it was awful!

[@WtCBoston]

Wollaston beach is a cesspool. It's filthy and has been for decades. It is far from anything nice.
The coal box is amazing though haha. Been going since the seventies

[@bobbygalvez8519]

The Coal Box? You haven't been going long enough to know the name ... :-)

[@maryannevitale2515]

Is the Restaurant open year-round??

[@szorohov85]

Yummm

[@jonathanwright8802]

Salt your fries. Don't pile up fried food, it gets soggy quick. Other than that, looks amazing.

[@mr.cmrs.c3591]

Been going to the Clam Box but it seems that their fried clams are abit sandy. Wish they would clean their clams better.

[@systemshocker2875]

It's not really their fault. It's the senders of the clams

[@alexgalarza6908]

Why the f would u not season French fries!????

[@PatBythrow]

Because you do not need to. They are fantastic as they are.

[@peterw776]

LMFAO 10 min drive from Boston. once you are in Boston, it takes you 1 hour to get out.

[@ericfay7483]

The Clam Box in Ipwich, MA is the only one I know of. I'm confused.

[@joeyparm9887]

[@daleharrington5936]

Not related. Ipswich Clam Box was built in 1935.

[@andredonald6372]

This one is on Quincy shore drive and 5 minutes from Tony's clams shop
Their both family owned in spring to fall over 50 years of opening time.

I need a sweet man to go down on my clam box,she said.

[@Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana]

That is so juvenile. You need to learn how to keep your trash talk in its place.

[@vissitorsteve]

@@Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana I agree with you. This is aimed at families, not trolls with inane sex jokes.
