As usual, Yelpers know the score. The name suggests something kind of divey, or geared toward the jello shot crowd (no offense), but it's a very comfy, well kept neighborhood bar. We were waited on quickly after sitting down. When we had questions about one of the beers on the menu (about 20 drafts, most of them Michigan crafts), our server brought us a generous sample and, shortly thereafter, two pints of the same. For food, my wife got a hamburger and I ordered the french dip. Her burger was decent, not the best or the worst, but satisfying definitely. My french dip was good as well. The meat was very thinly sliced, a bit lunchmeaty, but had good flavor and was piled high on the bun. The jus for dipping was overly salty, though that's a problem at many places. Elsewhere, I've paid more for this item and gotten less, so I left happy. If it's a bar-and-grill experience you're looking for in Cadillac, this will do ya.

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.

When we arrived they said the wait would be about 45 minutes, so we sat at the bar and ordered a drink. The bartenders were super friendly and did a great job making our specialty martinis. Our wait was actually only about 20 minutes before we were seated. Our waitress was Alivia and she was very sweet and personable and served us well. Now the food: The florentine pizza was AMAZING. According to my girlfriend, it was probably the best pizza that she ever had. Her hubs had the "Cadillac of Steaks" and he said it was cooked perfectly (he ordered medium rare) and he said it was so very flavorful and extremely tender....one of the best steaks he has had in a long time. My hubs ordered the classic burger and fried mushrooms. He said the burger was super good and cooked exactly as he ordered (medium rare). We all tried the mushrooms and really liked the batter...we all thought they were great. I had the forest mushroom pasta dish and a house salad. My pasta dish had the BEST pesto sauce EVER! The salad was just a plain side salad... nothing special. Our only complaint is that the wood table was very tacky. It had a sticky feeling, like the varnish was ruined by chemicals or something. That was somewhat unpleasant to feel on our forearms throughout our meal. Highly recommend and it was a great experience with great food!

They are fully committed to the woodsy, outdoor, rustic vibe while still feeling upscale. Our server was excellent and brought refills consistently and without being asked. We ordered fried mushrooms and spinach and artichoke dip for apps. The fried mushrooms and ranch were AMAZING and also pretty massive. The dip was verryyy cheese forward and was a little goopey, not my fav. The flavor was good, but I wanted it to be creamier and more balanced. It was the only thing we got that wasn't a hit, but not enough to change this from 5-stars! I ordered the Prime Rib with veg and a baked potato. IT WAS AMAZING. My family ordered two pizzas to split; bbq chicken and margarita. The pizzas were delicious and had a perfect crust. Overall so amazing and would totally return when in the area or recommend to others looking for something super tasty with great service and fun decor!

This place is more popular for their pizza, which I've had and I've found it to be very good. I also tried the Olive Burger. I'm an olive lover, and when I saw it on the menu, I was like, what?! It's sliced green olives in some kind of mayo based sauce spread over the meat. Different, and delicious. I also had a couple of Whiskey Sours, and I thought it was blended very well. Not too much alcohol, not too sweet, not too tart. Just right.
