I love this place. So many years in visits. Great clam chowder and never been disappointed with their fish. Lol, I even get large container of clam chowder to take home with me (3-hour drive). read more

Sorry to say the food was disappointing. The chowder was way too thick, beyond a style. The fish was so bad we didn't eat it. We didn't feel a warm welcome, maybe because it was off season. read more

Great clam chowder ! It was thick and chunky. A bit pricey for a small "bowl" (size of a cup) at $11.50 and a bread bowl for $16.50. Service wasn't that friendly either (no smile, no greeting and wouldn't give any change for us so we could do the laundry). This was why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5. read more

It was 2pm Wednesday today. Not very busy. We ordered at the counter and specified eating in. Ordered- * cup of clam chowder each - very creamy. Plenty of minced clams. * hubby two pieces fish & chips * combo seafood platter for me - one cod, 4 calamari strips, 2 oysters, 4 shrimp, and 4 oz clams. Cod & oysters were great. The shrimp was too salty and barely coated. The clams were non existent. The calamari strips were very wiggly. The next time I come I'll order either the deep fried oysters or the fish & chips with cup of clam chowder. read more

We stopped here while on my family's yearly HW101 trip and OMG! This place is a gold find! We (family of 4) got so much food because we wanted to try it all and none of it disappointed! *my favorite part was the cashier/cook that was singing through our visit. This guy can cook and sing! lol I'd definitely stop here again read more

Decent seafood shack in Brookings, Oregon. Came here looking for fresh seafood. Ordered their combo filled with shrimp, clamps, oysters and fish ($23). The order was good although on the oily side and the clams had a slight previously frozen texture. Ambiance was basic with a free water station. Overall good food. read more

Tucked into a weatherworn corner of the Oregon coast, just off Lower Harbor Road, The Hungry Clam doesn't look like much from the outside. Hell, from the inside either. But what it lacks in square footage it makes up for in raw, greasy, glorious soul. I showed up on a foggy coastal afternoon, stomach howling louder than the sea lions down the road. The line was spilling out the door--locals, tourists, kids with wet hair from the harbor, old-timers in flannel. You could smell the fryer working overtime before you even made it to the porch. And you know what? That scent--hot oil, sea brine, and batter--was worth the wait alone. When I finally got my order--a large fish and chips, fresh from a kitchen smaller than my first roach-infested studio--it looked like something ripped out of a sailor's fever dream: thick slabs of fish, golden and bubbling, piled high like treasure on a bed of fries. The crunch? Unreal. Like biting into a secret. The batter hugged the flaky fish without turning it into some greasy tomb. The inside stayed steamy, soft, and ocean-sweet. The fries were those old-school diner fries--hot, salty, perfectly limp in the best way--and they begged for a splash of malt vinegar and a dunk in tangy tartar. I ate outside, at a weathered picnic table overlooking the harbor, with the gulls giving me the stink-eye and the breeze carrying the perfume of salt and fryer oil. Was it fast? Hell no. But when the kitchen is barely bigger than a broom closet and everyone in town is lined up out the door, you don't come here for speed. You come for the real. The food was dank, hella good, and unapologetically fried in the most beautiful sense. Some places try too hard. The Hungry Clam doesn't have to. It's the kind of spot Bourdain would've sat at, smoked a cigarette after, and just nodded to himself. And I'd be right there next to him, licking my fingers, chasing that taste with a cold drink, already plotting when to come back. read more

Outside seating is great ( also has inside seating too). Corn dog is really good, tater tots needs seasoning as soon as they come out of the fryer!! You get a bag of chips with the corn dog. You can upgrade to the tater tots. I bought a 25oz beer $2.89 PBR at Sharky's Market next door. read more

First of all the food was fantastic but they're not set up for a crowd. We were told the wait was 40 minutes but waited well over an hour for our food. People who came in after us came and went with their food while my kids and I waited and waited. A little frustrated to wait with kids who were hungry and tired of waiting... I got the shrimp and crab melt which was packed full of crab and bay shrimp. my daughter got a cheeseburger which was enormous and my son bad shrimp and chips that he also enjoyed! read more

Delicious! Everything we got was portioned large and tasted delicious! This place is very casual and is located at the port area of Brookings OR. Several tables for two and four inside with much more seating outside in the shade and sun with umbrellas for shade. Spoke with patrons on the way inside and they highly recommend the food, as do I! read more

My husband loved it. I wasn't particularly pleased with my fish and chips. The fries were okay, tartar sauce was good, cocktail sauce was terrible, and the fish pieces were soft/soggy. Coleslaw was good. Lemon slices looked rotten. Service was fine; not friendly, not rude. Plenty of parking and seating. read more

Absolutely disgusting!!!!! Just left there after having the oysters shooters and the $25 halibut and fries. Ohhhhhh my god the oysters were absolutely disgusting! They were gigantic, unflavorful and came in paper cups. The fries were wayyyyyy over salted and they were the day crinkle cut ones and they gave us about a handful of fries. The coleslaw was full of mayonnaise and had no texture or flavor. It was the absolute worst atmosphere inside we couldn't even stand it. One lunch plate cost $25 min. And it's not even an accommodating atmosphere and the tables outside are dirty and uncomfortable. Service was horrid as well these people are simply frying frozen food and it shows. I'm so disappointed and still hungry. Zero starts read more

My husband and I come here occasionally. The food is consistently good. Nothing spectacular but decent for a fast food option. The fish isn't fresh but is cooked right. My biggest problem today is their prices. They've gone way up. My husband's 2 piece fish and chips - now $19. My usual fish melt with a side of Lays potato chips - $19. The woman taking are order wasn't friendly and appeared to have a cold. We're hoping we don't get sick with her coughing and sneezing all over everything. We can get cheaper lunches and better service (with a friendly greeting and a smile) down the road and the fish is fresh. We won't be back Hungry Clam. I'm sure they don't care as their tourist business is always there. read more

We loved the fried oysters, simple fish shop with great food. We actually bout our new RV right after we ate here.

The clam chowder is pretty thick & very clammy, as if its been sitting out for quite some time.

Amazing food we got burgers. They are HUGE with a HUGE portion of crispy fries. Best part for me was they have gluten free buns. Having celiac and the struggles eating out this was a very big win. All the food my family had they also loved. Will definitely be back read more

Small space with a walk-up to order fast food. The steamer clams and tots were both overcooked. The service was ok. Shrimp salad had some brown lettuce read more

Omgoodness the Best clam chowder and fish and chips in the area. We tried everywhere and this is the best. I always get it then we get the 32 oz before we go home. Friendly staff too, they're always very nice and helpful if needed whatever it may be. Sorry I didn't get pics of their wonderful food read more

Not sanitary. They lick the their fingers as they pick up the paper when they put it in the individual baskets for your fish and chips, fries, etc... They'll wipe the counters and use the dirty rag to moisten their fingers to open to go bags. Terrible service. Not a friendly smile. They look miserable and don't want to work. Food portion and quality aren't great. Here's what $30 gets you. read more

The fish very good here. My wife has never been a big fan of fish because many times it has an off flavor when it isn't fresh. This place seems to be a rare find and we frequent it often. read more

The food was really good. The service was ??? The ambience says the food is really good and you're on the water so be happy with these picnic benches. We visited about five in the afternoon on a Monday in July. There was one cashier/waitress, she was taking orders, ringing them up and when they were ready doing the final preparation on them and delivering to wherever the people are sitting. That is too much work for one person at a popular beach shack restaurant. You have a line of people that want to eat and two cooks behind the counter. We were second in line, placed our order and waited a ridiculously long amount of time for the food to be done. Our order was for three meals. We ordered fish and chips, a bread bowl of clam chowder, and a chicken sandwich. I didn't look at my watch and I wish I did when we placed the order. I'm pretty patient and it would not occur to me to keep track of the amount of time it took to get the order.. . I don't recall waiting so long at another restaurant ever before for casual fast dining food. The only saving grace was that the food was so good. Everybody wanted more and with that length of a wait there was no way another morsel would be ordered ever, ever again. Hopefully, this was just a once in a while thing that they were understaffed . I have high hopes for the town of Brookings that eventually it might cater more to tourists. It looks like a sad, depressed town but so many people visit this area all the time. This restaurant deserves to succeed. We were drawn here by the location in the marina and the good reviews on the food. I hope people continue to visit it and order food and I hope they're able to give better service despite the fact that they made the poor choice to post a handwritten sign telling everybody to put up with the slow service or leave it. read more

Place was great , food was hot , service was excellent. Love the feel of the place ! It's right on the plaza an your able to enjoy the harbor read more

The food was amazing as always ! Friends and I had lunch on Sunday, waited 30 minutes for delivery but Boy, it was worth the wait !

The GREASY clam. I see the Sysco truck delivering all their frozen fish and then they deep fry everything in old dirty weeks old oil... tourist trap. Locals won't eat here so beware read more

All we had was the soup, top notch! We saved what little was left over for later and enjoyed it then. Actually the whole Brookings Vaca was amazing, kind people with great views of the ocean what more could you ask for. Sincerely Andrew H. Lowe read more

OMG. The best fish and chips and clam chowder, it was so rich and creamy . Our friends ahead of us ordered, the person taking orders added ours to theirs so we pay separate and we would get our food together. Will definitely come back read more

This was a great experience!! Great little mom and pop shop that serves amazing quality. Clam chowder was delicious and the crab melt had so much crab in it! Friendly service and wait was not that long. Sign on door says "expect delays when busy" and to be patient. Makes sense when everything was cooked to order. Will return read more

Hungry travelers passing through and this did not disappoint! We enjoyed our lunch outside as they had lots of picnic tables available outdoors. (They also had lots of seating inside but the weather was beautiful). The service was kind and friendly. The seating areas clean and welcoming. I had the small fish and chips. They were breaded nicely and weren't too greasy. The serving was filling and I enjoyed every part of it. The fries were crisp and delish. I loved the tartar and cocktail sauce provided. I would definitely order this again! read more

Tasty food. NOT a long wait at all! (Maybe ten minutes?) nice big fish pieces. Friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our late lunch here. You can eat inside or outside - so if you've brought your fur-baby he can join you at your outdoor table! If hubby would have known how big the fish pieces were going to be, he works have just ordered two! . He said the coleslaw was very good also! I'm also going to upload their most current menu with price list! Those on the Yelp site right now are five years oldI'm read more

It was expensive and not much food. The fries were from frozen packaging. The clam chowder was good but not much of it for bowl size.

I used to tell everyone this was the best chowder in Brookings. Now they raised the price from $10 to $11 and it's not even filled to the brim of the cup anymore. Also there was something very hard in the chowder and thankfully I noticed it with my tongue before biting down or I may have broken a tooth read more

Went to eat on a Thursday night @6 pm. They were busy and the food was ready in 35 minutes. Not a long wait to enjoy freshly cooked seafood. As always, the food was fantastic. We ordered a clam strip dinner and a shrimp dinner. Cooked to perfection and not greasy. Their coleslaw is the bomb. This place is always busy but so worth the wait. Drive 1 1/2 hours to eat there! read more

Food is always good Cashier was snippy when I asked about menu. Ambiance....we listened to the cashier and cook argue about the discounts they get from the time we got there until we left. read more

I ordered the small fish and chips, and cup of clam chowder. I thought the fish needed some salt, but it was perfectly crispy and not oily. The tartar sauce was great! My husband got the halibut fish and chips and bowl of clam chowder. He liked the halibut a lot. Busy place but food was fast and the place was fairly clean, especially for how Busy they were. read more

Not bad food, but greasier than most fried foods and definitely too expensive. Service is ok

I had the fried clams with tater tots. The tots were plentiful and cooked to perfection. The fried clams scattered on top of the tots were few and overcooked. I was so disappointed. The place was empty therefore my food should have been properly prepared. read more
