    clam shells in a brown paper bag

    No place beats Blacky's! Always a must stop when going down to LBI. Best clams for the best price

    Don't be thrown off by the fact that it's actually a shack! The clams are amazing and the best I've had in the area - won't get them at home anymore - there is no comparison! We have grilled ours and they're just wonderful. Different sizes to choose from, all depends on your preference. Prices are really reasonable and looking forward to some soon. Go grab some today!

    Fresh fresh fresh local raw clams. Friendly service and the cutest stand. Only downside is parking which is tight.

    Do they only accept cash?

    My husband says he's never seen anyone pay with credit cards. He pays cash only as well

    We come to Boulevard Clams every year for clams to cook on the grill and every couple years for a…read moremeal. We stopped in here last night, luckily kind of early because by the time we left they were packed. I've always loved this place for their clams...always amazing and fresh. I will say that their wait in menu is a bit pricey, but you're paying LBI prices so just expect it. We had a party of five last night and the food was delicious. Wifey had a fried flounder sandwich that was too much for her (so I got about 1/3 of her filet!), but she loved it. I had the premium crab cakes and started with a dozen little necks. The little necks were really small so I was a little disappointed in the serving size, but the crab cakes with fries and 1/2 a corn on the cob filled me up. My son and daughter's boyfriend both had salmon and my daughter had garlic Parmesan shrimp and pasta. Always a delicious meal!

    I had the most amazing out of body moment eating the steamers here today. As a kid my grandparents…read morelived in New Suffolk way east on the North fork of Long Island and we used to go in the morning and get the steamer clams off bay for dinner. We could eat literally more than a couple of dozen each for dinner. Nothing was fresher. Today I had steamer clams here that brought me right back to grandma's table! They were so incredibly tender (stems and all), sweet and fresh. For anyone who is not a fan, I can't describe them. For anyone who is, I implore you --- take a ride and eat those steamer clams. They come in a bucket to go. But they will make you a third for an order to eat in. I had two orders. I could have eaten 3! With the melted butter and the broth for dipping it was sheer heaven. I am a happy person today.

There was one guy playing guitar music, not too loud, which made the atmosphere cozy. They have a great cocktail list if you want to try something new. The wedge salad was large and had a twist- it had a different type of dressing, crispy onion on top, and traditional blue cheese crumbles. The cheese steak comes with thick-cut fries, and the crab cake main had coleslaw on the side, which was crisp and served with a light dressing. Looking forward to dining again soon.

We weren't 100% sold because of some of the reviews, but still gave it a shot. We made a 6pm reservation online and were able to park in the lot adjacent to the restaurant. We were seated immediately and the hostess gave us a table by the front window. Nice, out of the way, allowed us to chat and people watch. We were initially shocked at how empty the place was for a 6pm reservation, but by the time we were done the place was packed. Out waitress came over and took our drink order (she never introduced herself, which always kind of annoys me). I ordered the Barrel -aged Manhattan (it came on the rocks though I ordered it up) and Wifey ordered The Maverick - gin, Aperol, lemon, Ginger, mint. For starters we had the Steamers special - in a white wine garlic butter sauce with grilled or charred shallots and Chargrilled oysters with spinach, panko, cheddar, and hot sauce. For our entrees Wifey had the NY strip with seasoned potatoes and I had the Crab cakes. Steak was excellent...the crab cakes were small for the price, but full of meat. Delicious Cole slaw. Appetizers were also great - my steamers were different than I've ever had because the flavor of the shallots really added a ton of flavor. Drink prices are ridiculous (they are everywhere on the island, but especially for the size of the Maverick. Food was great, service was ok (though our waitress wasn't very enthusiastic), you'll pay Island prices here, and place gets VERY loud so be aware.
