Staff greeted me when I entered and explained that the mac and cheese was not part of their size It's its own separate cost unless it's with a special. The brisket in the mac and cheese was very tasty they did chop it up honestly I thought it was going to be on the side instead of on the Mac but honestly I wanted it that way anyways and they provided a barbecue sauce on the side without me asking and I had plenty for the meal. With it being so close to the campground - It's definitely a better option than fast food. If I was in the area would I come back I definitely would to try some other selections - please no I did not dine in I basically ordered when I arrived and the food came out less than 10 minutes. Happy Eating!

However, the service is the worst we've ever experienced, and this was a non-busy Wednesday evening. We waited an hour and a half for our food to arrive after ordering. And salads came out after the food arrived. Our server had no idea what beers or bourbon they had and had to keep running to the bar with questions. The liquor selection is lacking. It took a long time for cocktails to arrive and 30 minutes for the fried pickles appetizer to show up. Generally just a nightmare. The food is great but we won't be back.

It was better than what I've enjoyed at various traditional Cajun/Creole restaurants over the years. The difference? The flavors were spot on. The consistency of the soup was perfect -- not too thick, not too runny. The Beef & Cheddar Burger was a patty made from brisket and browned on both sides to a light crust and topped with cheddar cheese melted on top on a hamburger bun. I added a little of their BBQ sauce instead of my usual burger condiments. It was fantastic! I've heard Ray's is great, but I had no idea they were this great!

This review is far overdue as we were there back in early July while on a road trip. We were just…read moretalking about it and I remembered that I needed to write this review. When we arrived there were no closed signs or anything but they were having a graduation party. Asked about takeout and they insisted that we join the party and wouldn't accept any payment, only accept a donation to the graduate if we wanted to (of course we did). This actually worked to our favor because we don't eat much so we got to sample very reasonable size portions of several options we might not have gotten to if we purchased a full meal to split. Also, since we were traveling, we wouldn't have been able to keep leftovers and would have felt bad about wasting it. It was also nice to meet and chat with folks from the area. It was one of the highlights of our first trip to this incredible state. The barbecue was so good we're still talking about it months later. The meats were exceptional. Perfect seasoning. Perfect smoke. Obviously high quality meat to start with. The sides were very satisfying as they were traditional, but at a very high standard. This was a place that would beat most, if not all of our local southern joints hands down. I don't know if we'll be back in that area again, but if we are this will be one of our stops for sure.

After exploring other restaurants around lately, we decided to give the Clam a try again. Glad we did. Service Our waitress was great. Patient while we decided and helped with our lunch choices. Food We got a Rodeo burger and the Chicken Quesadillas. Both were really good. The spicy Rodeo sauce for the burger was nice. Chicken quesadillas was plentiful and really good. Price Compared to other places around the Clam was reasonably priced. Especially considering the dishes were tasty. Restaurant The Clam had a nice feel. Tables spaced nicely. Everything looked clean. You can be seated outside on the sidewalk cafe if you'd like. Nice place. Summary We'll be back. I'll be trying the pizza next. It looked great and seems that it was a popular choice. Considering so many tourist trap restaurants around Cadillac and Lake City, the Clam seems to be a good go to.
