Server was absolutely amazing. I was slightly bummed when entrees came out as everyone's came but mine. It was another 10 minutes, some folks were halfway through dinner. The reason I still have this five stars is this.... The server before I even had a chance to say, hey where's my food, walked up, apologized, bought me a drink. My response was simple. I'm in the industry, it happens, thanks so much for the beverage. (I am in industry I run ops for 22 kitchens, love how your staff got in front of something before it became a thing)

We've been here several times when out this way for the outlets. We like to sit in the bar area,…read morewhich is more our vibe. The service is always great. I get the lobster roll every time. This past time, it didn't taste fresh. The lobster was a little chewy. It's been great every other time I've ordered it, so I will try again!

The real Clam Castle is back and better than ever! We've been here twice since the reopening and I…read morecan't wait for a few more visits over the summer. The fried cod was some of the best I've ever had. Fish tacos were very good - love the red pepper remoulade it comes with. French fries and fried clam strips are both excellent - though I agree with another reviewer who mentioned that the clams could be a bit crispier. The two times we've gotten them, they needed just a touch more crunch and golden brown color. Still very good and the best around!!! But feels like they would benefit from a bit more time in the fryer. Glad you're back, Clam Castle!!

Serving fried steamers, passing off as whole belly clams. Photos of past reviews show clearly that…read morethey know what an actual whole belly is. Just be warned-- before you shell out MP, what you are getting. Pro Tip: whole bellies do NOT have a "neck" like steamers do and this was clear as day a steamer. Clam shack staff confirmed when I held it up to inquire why they are frying steamers that this was, in fact, a steamer. And as a side note, fried steamers are terrible. They did reimburse for two orders however, won't return if this is what the kitchen/owner tries to serve! I guess the "clam" castle has shifted focus to lobster sandwich boats. You can't delete my review here!!

Firstly the prices are a third or more less than surrounding stores. My sister from Florida visits…read moreand she is astounded by how much more she has to pay in Florida. The pharmacy and seafood dept.are standouts! They offer basic staples on sale at regular intervals so you can always get meals made without breaking the bank. If they should run out of a sale item, which is rare they will gladly issue a rain check. Again its rare but hard to judge demand. I have never encountered rudeness as others have mentioned. I shop every week or more and have been for as long as the store has been opened.I occasionaly shop at stop and shop or big Y. They have something on sale that is especially discounted, and I buy that item. I check out the other items inthe store which reaffirms what great prices Shop rite has.

Where do I begin... Just an abysmal shopping experience…read more *Many in-store items were priced HIGHER than the prices shown on the Clinton store's website. *The dairy and general merchandise store employees we encountered didn't seem to know or care about the location of items in their area or even if the store carried them. *Written signs on empty shelves of sale items directed customers to find the rest of the stock in the wrong aisles, leading to a lot of hunting around just to find out if and where the store really had more in stock. *The girl manning 'customer service' preferred to play with her phone than answer simple questions. We spent way too long at the Clinton Shoprite trying to fulfill a simple shopping list. The only bright spot was the employee manning the meat department--he knew what they stocked, where things were and when they might be restocked and he was super pleasant to boot! It's a shame to see a store go downhill so steeply because as recently as 2025, this store was my favorite grocery store in the area.

The service was painfully slow the night we went. They were packed. It was crowded. The ambiance…read moreis loud CT shoreline crowded. I'd be willing to be they do a good business because of the location. It is a nice location. The food is typical nothing interesting sysco national food supply crap is the general vibe. Maybe the fish is fresh but everything else was just normal expensive swill. I'll not bother to return this year (2026) unless they pick up their game and do better. One FINAL nail in the coffin, is they don't take reservations for larger parties and they don't have a call-ahead seating list. The choice not to take some kind of reservation is just... well inconsiderate and stupid but shows their willingness to feed the herd as fast as possible (slow service not withstanding) .

Let's talk about THIS lobster roll ‍…read more Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale did NOT come to play. That buttered lobster roll is fresh, loaded, and worth the market price--every bite hits. I've had a lot in CT... this one is top tier. So good I finished it and said "yeah, I need another one to go" Friendly staff Indoor/outdoor seating Open year-round Now don't leave without dessert. The ice cream is a MUST Oreo sundae for me, Reese's sundae for the kids... no regrets. Summer = ice cream shack outside Off-season = still inside This place is the whole experience.

Food isn't very tasty…read more This place is great if you have a family and don't care what the food taste like. Lobster roll is bland. $30 for an experience that makes you crave biting into a lemon for flavor. My wife's fish was so dry and flavorless that you would think you are eating a fish sandwich in Arizona. Clam chowder is an insult to New England. It's soupy and not creamy. Only come here if you don't care about spending $$$ for food that genuinely makes you question your life choices. The atmosphere was nice. Service wasn't great but that was understandable given the dinner rush. Owner: i respect that you read feedback and respond. I wanted to love this place but was disappointed. Please include a lemon with your fish dishes. That little of a difference may change a lot of opinions about the food quality here. I'm only writing this because this was my first lobster roll in 2 years and I was heart broken.

I follow all the prompts, but I needed a cashier to clear my machine twice. This NEVER happens at self-check at Big Y, and I ask myself why I bother returning to Stop & Shop. Sadly, Marty wasn't there, so I couldn't vent my frustration on him.

Place hit the spot!…read more Needed a wellness meal and I came across Donahue's during my travels of the coast. Could have eaten a bowl of the chowder, so good. Blacked Swordfish and asparagus were delicious, could have substituted another vegetable for the rice and would have been just as happy. Carrot cake was good. Dense which is how I like it, icing made it too sweet. Cream cheese filling, yummm. Will certainly be back.

My daughter-in-law said they have the best clam chowder, and her smoked turkey wrap was generously packed with meat. My fish and chips were excellent. The fresh fish was fried with a nice crispy batter, and the handcut fries are delicious. Hot wing, and chicken tender were also excellent. Service was friendly and attentive.
