A trip to Boston is not complete without a visit to the Clam Box. Voted the best clams in New England, I ordered the 2 way option to sample both the native clams and strip clams. The local freshness and perfectly fried clams in their special flour batter were undeniable. The clams were not greasy and had a nice crunch. These were definitely the best fried clams that I have ever had! Their side cole slaw and fries were also very tasty to give you a complete and delightful platter and meal. This typical and popular roadside counter serve seafood shack is not to be missed and definitely well worth a destination stop whenever in the Boston/Ipswich area.

As an ex-New Englander, I always try to load up on local treats when visiting so of course during my current visit to MA/ME, I had to stop in at the Clam Box. This seafood joint has been a classic for decades and offers up perfectly fried and crunchy clams without any grease,delicious.The onion rings are also quite good and feature a nice, light crunchy batter. Service at the Clam Box is polite and efficient, expect to wait 10 minutes or more as your food is cooked to order. Grab a seat in the dining room or outside at a covered picnic table. You can't get any better than this for New England seafood!

The native clams and scallops were better than I remembered. More surprising were the onion rings. They stayed together and remained crispy through the whole lazy meal. They serve beer and wine now. We arrived just after they changed the oil, and the flavors came out clean to the palate.

What a great spot! Clam Box is one of those typical New England seafood shacks, so you can't go wrong. It's pretty popular, as there were people lined up before it even opened! They have plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor. The vibes are very classic and nostalgic. If you're going to make the trip, you've got to try one of the combo plates, which you can definitely share. We went with the 2 Way Combo, which came with Natives Clams (bellies) and Scallops. Instead of fries, we opted for the onion rings, which were top notch. Great spot!

Plentiful, delicious fried clams! Amazing at this classic roadside clam shack. Picnic tables outside and a very clean, nicely air conditioned inside eating area. Friendly service at the order window or by phone. The lobster role was perfectly browned with generous snout of lobster as lettuce. Not any mayo that I could tell. It was tasty but not top tier. Chicken sandwich...I know at a seafood place... for someone whose stomach was off. A piece of chicken on a bun.. that's all. Supposedly grilled, but the whitest piece of chicken ever. We threw it out. Love the vibe and fried clams with friendly service. Great fried seafood.

Ordered the Clam, scallop and shrimp platter Light crunchy breading on the seafood. Fresh and delicious. Onion rings and Cole slaw also came with the platter. Very delicious, I'll have a healthy leftover dinner tonight

OMG! Finally getting here for fried clams was worth the hour drive! Counter service was great and they had indoor and outdoor seating. The battered fried clam bellies were fried in light clean oil to perfection! And coupled with an Ipswich IPA it was perfect. Will have to go there again!

This place has delicious seafood. Here you order your meal at a window inside of the restaurant and then wait in the dining area until you are called to return to the window and pick up your food. There is plenty of seating in the dining room and I found it to be very clean. The order taker at the window seemed pleasant and helpful. You can order a mini meal that comes with one side dish or you can order a larger plate that is served with two side dishes. I opted for the mini meal and I got the fried scallops with french fries as my side dish. The scallops were delicious and the fries were very good as well. If you come here but want something other than seafood they do offer other items such as chicken sandwiches, hamburgers and chicken fingers. If you are a seafood lover though, I would definitely order some seafood here. You won't be disappointed. This is an excellent dining destination and I would certainly like to go back.

We came for dinner and waited about 45 min in line to order. It was definitely worth the wait. We ordered the 2 way combo(Native Clam and scallop) and the Calamari plate. The portion sizes were huge. The clams were crispy and scallops were perfectly cooked (not overcooked at all). The only complaint would be that everything was served unsalted. However, they have lemons/tartar sauce and salt on the side if you need it. Onion rings were kind of hard to eat unsalted so definitely need to season them. Calamari was very good to share. We ordered onion rings and coleslaw as the sides. Coleslaw was refreshing to have from all the fried foods. Overall: I am definitely coming back here with family.
