    Little restaurant across the street from water, encompasses the beach feel with ocean cuisine. Right when we walked in it was standing room only, the place was crowded! Granted it was a Sunday and the weather was great. Menu offered a lot of fried options. We ordered the fish, scallops, calamari and clam bellies for fried options. The lobster roll and clam chowder.. all of it came to $160. A little pricey for the quality of food. Lobster roll was really good! And clam chowder delicious. Which the sandwich was a little bigger, but it is what it is. Overall, the experience was a 3.7 out of 5.

    Scallops and fries, overcooked, burnt taste.

    What a huge disappointment. Went last night, over 200 dollar bill for me and my family on my visit back home. We always go here, but last night The food was terrible, including one of my usual favorites, scallops. Over cooked, not fresh, burnt taste. The whole clams also were not good. If I didn't know better I would say it was frozen and oil was burnt, but I do not know for sure why it was so bad. Literally my whole family, 6 of us, did not like the food, honestly we should have sent it back, got our money back, and left. Not sure if it is under new management, or just too early in The season, but was not good.

    Seafood Plate &  Clams

    This place has amazing fried seafood that's a perfect for a nice summer day. Ordered the seafood platter and fried clam box as well and it was amazing quality fried seafood that's hit the spot and my craving. The restaurant has a decent amount of indoor searing and patio seating with umbrellas where a lot of people choose to sit to view the beach and water nearby. The menu is pretty vast with a lot of different seafood and comfort options. They also have a large drink menu as well and additional seating in the back. I have been here a couple times and it never disappoints. Looking forward to coming back in the future next summer.

    Good Food, good location It's a nice causal seafood restaurant with other offerings as well as some Mediterranean specialties. It's an order at the counter restaurant with open seating. If the weather is nice, you can sit outside. Tony's does have a nice view of the water and the Boston skyline. You can't go to Quincy without a drive down Wollaston Blvd., and you can't drive down Wollaston Blvd. without seeing and ultimately stopping at Tony's Clam Shop. Fried Clams, Fried Scallops, Onion Rings, all top o' the line! TIP: Fried Scallops regular order - you won't believe how many sea scallops you'll get, probably a dozen. Ridiculous, so worth the 30 bucks. You couldn't buy them at the seafood store for that price. Thanks

    Tony's Clam Shop is a such a gem in Quincy! Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot to hit up in the summer for some yummy, fresh fried seafood platters, or even just a raspberry lime rickey haha. I love getting clam bellies whenever I get fried seafood! We also enjoy getting a seafood platter, typically with scallops & clam strips. When we visited Tony's the other day, we ordered both platters & opted for onion rings for our sides. What we ordered & prices: -clam plate (w/ bellies) $39.20 -seafood combo plate (w/ scallop + clam strips) $41.20 -2 large raspberry lime Rickeys $14.30 Their raspberry lime rickey is sooo good! I guess nowadays they charge ~$7.15 each for a large but definitely a must if you love raspberry lime rickeys like we do! Everything was fresh... scallops were HUGE the day that we went & very delicious. Ordering is pretty quick & easy; line inside with two cashiers. They give a buzzer to let you know when it's ready to go inside to pick up your order. Parking: they have their own parking lot that you can pull into but definitely be careful when pulling in if you have a sedan because a lot of people end up scraping the front of their cars entering/exiting. There are free parking spots across the street by the beach, as well. Happy eating!

    Loved the fried seafood here and have been here a few times. We got the seafood plate on this last visit though. My favorite in there was the scallops, so maybe I should get that separately next time! The shrimp was a good size too. The slaw was a little heavy on the dressing for me, wish it was lighter. Would love to try a lobster roll, but it's a bit pricey compared to other lobster rolls that I like already. There's indoors and outdoors seating and the food came out quick enough, which we appreciated.

    Clam strip and scallop plate + onion rings

    A local staple in quincy! I prefer Tony's mainly for their raspberry lime Ricky in a jumbo cup! Always a must for me with any Tony's fried seafood meal. We went on one of the first hot days this summer mid day, light traffic, plenty of outdoor seating before the dinner rush. 2 platters ordered: + Scallop and clam strip plate with onion rings! Scallops are larger style (not necessarily jumbo) and clam strips fried perfectly. + full clam belly plate with onion rings! Juicy! Now, i do wish the fried seafood out here seasoned their batter, but Tony's has condiments for every flavor needed. Salt, pepper ketchup, tartar, mayo, siracha, franks red hot etc. without condiments it would be too bland for me. It's always cooked real well. For the price they do give you the pile and you'll be full. Other spots would give you HUGE scallops or clam belly's, charge same price but you only get 4-5 pieces on top of French fries. Again always a favorite for the summer pop in. Chill by the cool breeze of the beach and soak in the day. Weekends get crazy out here and the place gets packed, so we usually hit it mid-week if possible!

    After reading an article that Tony's Clam Shop had some of the best whole belly clams in New England, I drove the hot rod over two hours to find out... Quincy, Massachusetts is on the South Shore of Boston, well known for seafood. Tony's Clam Shop does not disappoint. I loved ordering at the counter, given a pager, and then the pager goes off when the order is ready. You pick up your food and you go sit either in the dining area or outside street side overlooking the Harbor. I put in the order for only whole belly clams, a medium box, for $41. I also ordered a fountain drink. Within 10 minutes my order was ready. Now that I'm a senior and I've been around the block a few times, my love for whole belly clams is deep, and these were some of the best whole belly clams I've ever had. Almost like they were flashed fried, you could taste the freshness with each bite. I think these clams were harvested across the street, in the ocean about an hour before they were cooked for me, but who am I to judge! The accompanying tartar sauce seemed homemade and on point. If you are on the South Shore of Boston, this has to be a stop. The service was friendly, parking was easy peezy, and the trip through Boston was really nice. Quincy, Massachusetts is just beautiful. I think I could've sat at my outdoor table all afternoon just taking in the sites. This was a wonderful experience.

    I had Tony's clam strips back to back with a competitor's clam down the street and Tony's is, once again, the clear winner.

    My fiance and I have been dying to try Tony's and wow it did not disappoint! While the food is a little pricey the portions are huge, and we both got the fish and chips which was really good. They have a nice outdoor backyard space with a full bar and live music. The staff is friendly and it's overall a really fun dining experience. Will definitely be going back to try more of their menu!!

    Stopped in for lunch on Thursday. Ordered scallop plate with onion rings instead of fries Small clam chowder A beer Nice outdoor seating Looked to be up charge of 1.25 for onion rings instead of fries. Plate had very few onion rings. Scallops excellent. Cole slaw lousy , no flavors ,... needed a pepper , sugar, cream, or paprika or something flavors like other places . Draft beer good. Chowder was bland tasting also , needed butter , pepper, paprika, mashed up corn or something ... no clams either . Wouldn't order again

    Came here last week, and so glad I did. I love taking morning walks at Wollaston beach and ending it with a clam strip plate. The food was fresh and didn't take long to be ready. When you place your order they give you a pager that will vibrate when your order is ready. I've never had a lobster roll and I got one from here with drawn butter and it wasn't too bad. It was a lot of claw meat which I am not a fan of, but there was a lot of meat on the roll. It was $40 so I'd hope they have a good amount. I just ask they actually add some seasoning, rather than a sprinkle of paprika on top. The clam strip plate was a little lacking in clam strips and I opted out of Cole slaw and asked for extra fries but there was still Cole slaw I had to take off the plate. They had a new raspberry lemonade frozen drink for those that are 21+ and it was really good on a warm day. I did take away a star because my order was not right, a little skimp, and I'm not a fan of all the claw meat in the lobster roll. The restaurant inside and out was clean, and the workers were friendly.

    I ordered an ube latte (small hot w almond milk) and egg sandwich (w longanisa and seaweed on…read morepandesal) - TASTE: 4/5 - the ube extract flavor was strong and bitter, but adding more milk helped sweeten it. Liked the combo of sweet longanisa and salty seaweed in the egg sandwich TEXTURE: 4/5 - toasted pandesal, melted cheese, and crisp seaweed PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $12 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - debated getting the egg sandwich on a bagel for a potentially bigger portion vs. the small pandesal SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 10:15am on a Sunday and the space was empty. The employee at the counter was helpful and friendly ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - cozy, bright, and community-oriented space w murals and home-y touches PARKING: 4/5 - spots on Belmont St were taken, but more street parking available on Holbrook Rd

    Quick version: Low prices for excellent quality, really lovely atmosphere…read more My chai latte was much better than the one I would've gotten at Starbucks and was pretty large for the price I paid. They were out of eggs, so I got a pork bun which was fluffy and delicious as well. They had a medium sized-menu with a good selection of your run of the mill American cafe staples as well as options that are harder to find in this area -- Saipao buns, ube lattes, lumpia... I was getting pissed off on the highway on my way to the school in Boston so I pulled off and was looking for a cafe somewhere in Milton or Quincy to work in until the traffic died off a little and found this on Apple Maps. So glad I stopped in! The cafe is bright and home-y, and they also are clearly trying to be a place to build community in the area. They have a whole library and check out system it seems for people to borrow books, and based on the signs welcome in anyone that needs to use the restroom or respite from whatever weather is going on! I used one of their tables and worked on some schoolwork, but they also had a variety of soft seating available. They had a really good playlist that had a great beat but was still kinda chill. It wasn't super busy, probably since it was midday on a Thursday, but damn it should be busier in there! Great spot... will most likely be stopping here the next time I find myself screaming at other cars and needing to calm my road rage. Another note: I saw a sign and it looks like they have a way for people to hold events here. If you had a community group that needed a spot to have meet ups I think this would be a great spot
