    This seasonal gem was more than I expected! The food, the customer service and the quality of the food stands out the most. The outdoor seating option was also a added bonus.

    Great spot for seafood on the water! Awesome views, ample seating indoors and outside on the patio. Everything tasted really fresh. Everything seemed to be good sized except for the scallop plate we got - the portions on that felt a bit skimpy. We didn't have to wait too long for our food which was nice.

    Fried fresh seafood with a spectacular view! What more can you ask for?!?! This place is casual dining; no waiter service. Order & pay at the counter and you're given a number; when your order is ready, they will call your number. In the meantime, get your utensils, napkins and sauces while you wait, then grab a table. We came from out of town, and we're so lucky that The Clam Box was open so early in the season! Not only were they open, but it wasn't crowded at all, and we got parking right across the street. Don't expect this during their peak season! Apparently, this place is very popular, and I can see why! We opted for the 3-Way platter ($31.99), which is great for those like us who want to try many items! The platter also came with coleslaw & lemon, and a very generous portion of French fries. We chose these 3 items: - Fried Scallops: perfection! - Fried Whole Belly Clams: they were on the small side, but great nonetheless. - Fried Oysters: Very Good! See my photos for their many menu items. There is something for everyone! Note for NYers: this place is equivalent to Johnny's Reef in City Island! Yup, great stuff! Go!

    The Clam Box is the place to go get your fried seafood! They have tasty clam chowder, fresh clam bellies, and scallops. It is located right on Wollaston Beach and has outdoor seating available. This is a great place to visit for fresh fried seafood, especially during the summer time!

    Classic spot for fried seafood in Quincy close to the beach. There's plenty of parking along the beach but it tends to be packed when there's good weather. The seafood plate had a generous portion of seafood for the money. I recommend this option if you want a bit of everything. It's perfectly fried with a good coating of breading. You get a good size for the fish and I really liked the jumbo shrimp with how it was cut to make a double curved shape. My favorites are the scallops and clam belly, they are just classics. The staff are friendly and the seafood is fresh.

    It's so nice to have this place back open for the season! What's not to love? Fresh fried seafood with hearty portions, friendly service and a view of the water and Boston skyline while you eat! Definitely a place to be while on Wollaston Beach.

    The Clam Box is a Quincy classic! I've been going here for years with my family and we've never really been disappointed. They recently changed owners so I decided to pay The Clam Box a visit for the first time since then. The new owners are still upkeeping the great quality and freshness of the seafood. I got their seafood platter (which is the most worth, in my opinion) and shared it with a friend. It's market price now, but it ran us about $34 total. The seafood platter comes with a side of fries and coleslaw, and of course, the star of the show, a variety of seafood. The seafood platter has fish, whole-belly clams, scallops, and shrimp. I used to not like their fries, but I think they're actually better now! They're much more crispy now and not as soggy. Maybe I came on a good day. Their seafood was perfectly fried and battered. They gave us such a large serving of seafood and everything was fresh. They definitely did not skimp out on anything. I'm not the biggest fan of their coleslaw, but you don't go to a seafood place for the best coleslaw in the world. Everything came out super quickly (no more than 10 minutes) and the service was speedy yet friendly. Anyways, I can't wait to come back later in the summer with my family. If you're in Quincy, definitely make sure to check this place out!

    The Clam Box is a classic restaurant along Wollaston Beach. It's been there since 1968 (although they recently are under new management). They serve mostly fried seafood, but also lobster rolls and clam chowder. It's a very casual restaurant and convenient to visit on your next trip to the beach. There is ample easy and free parking along the beach. The restaurant is spacious with indoor and outdoor dining tables. You order at the front and then the rest is self serve. They have a sauce station with ketchup and tartar sauce. My friend and I split the Seafood Platter which included whole belly clams, scallops, shrimp, and fish with onion rings and cole slaw as sides. The best were the whole belly clams and scallops as they had the most flavor. I will probably just order the whole belly clams next time. The shrimp and fish were lackluster and the onion rings didn't have much taste. The portion was good for the price.

    This was my first time visiting for the season. I was ready to stand in a long line, however, this was the fastest I received my food ever. The staff was nice and the establishment was clean. I get the fried fish plate as this include haddock rather than the cod fish. My meal was delicious. I had to take a taste before taking a picture.

    The Seafood Platter   Whole Belly Clams, Shrimp, Scallops, and Fish. Served with two sides of your choice.

We noticed the other side with larger tables was empty but was unfortunately closed off. The male bartender said we could sit on that side, and went around the table asking how much sobriety we had under our belts. Come to find out, he was also sober. While we ate dinner he kept people from that side, and we were able to enjoy a dinner together without being surrounded by others drinking which was AMAZING because all 6 of us are fairly recently sober. One in our party was actually experiencing his first time at a restaurant since quitting drinking. We appreciated the hospitality tenfold! Food was absolutely AMAZING and portions were stacked! It was a great ending to our night!!!
