Reviews
On the South shore in Islip is this wonderful little clam bar.
It’s bigger than I expected
Well on the outside. And it’s all outside
I mean all of it
There’s only a few seats inside but boy it’s quaint in there as well.
It’s super quaint outside. It’s the place to go I would say if you want to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere of the South shore the breezes the marina in front of it the deer that are on the outside and the outskirts that’s sort of greet you because people feed them. Which they shouldn’t but you know hey whatever who might of judge
Which eyewitnessed someone stopping to feed them. And I was wondering when I rode up on my motorcycle.. why are they just two feet away from me and looking at me? Oh someone must have feed them is what I was thinking immediately. Yeah I’m lo and behold I’m right..
Anyway let’s get back to the review
So I walk in and it’s busy so I just go to the bar and the hostess is wonderful and I can order from the bar so I just want a iced tea and clams on a half shell
It’s so busy the bartender doesn’t really notice me until 3 other people walk up and order before me but I’m tucked in the corner. I’m okay with it because I’m observing This is a review right.
She’s really engaging even though it’s so busy she asks every person what their name is like she’s meeting you for the first time which she is. They say hi I’m Joe she says hi I’m Tracy after she asked what’s your name is. It’s just a really nice personal thing even amongst the busyness
Then the next people come up she does the same thing
Then she comes over to me finally and says oh my goodness I didn’t see you there That’s okay I’m just kind of chilling over here in the corner.
I’m Tracy Hi I’m Paul Hi Paul..
Just nice
I order my clams in there taking quite a bit of time considering they’re on they have shell but it’s busy you know there’s a band outside actually the one I came to see
The clams are a bonus.
She apologizes for the wait. And says good things come to those who wait.
Well I couldn’t agree more Tracy
We briefly interact and I say hey I’m just here really to see the band Cool I’m the one who books them well good because they’re great..
It’s ’80s ’90s l i r – d r e 92.7. from back in the day New Wave. Kind of cool I’m there just for that.
So I get my clams to go outside and it’s just so beautiful. The band is playing the sun is setting and the view from there is spectacular.
Beyond highly recommended to come here. Especially if there’s a band playing. They have all these Adirondack chairs that are set up right in front of the stage that or just for you to sit in You don’t need to be seated just go. I order my clams and got close to them but decide to stay a little further back. Just to take it all in
People show up in the left side of the parking lot with chairs and just like set them out to listen to the bands.
Totally awesome didn’t even know this existed. So grateful to find it
Sunset with spectacular
I will 100% be back again
Hidden little gem
Oh PS
Observation of the
They hustle they are hustling hustling hustling they are moving moving. I mean sitting at the bar gave me time to watch the hustle and there’s a revolving door for the kitchen and nothing didn’t even sit still for a second. I was in the industry when I was younger and this is a hustling crew I’ll tell you they just did not stop moving communicating etc.
If your food is not coming out on time it’s just because it’s busy.
We arrived just after 5.30pm on a Thursday afternoon — out-of-staters looking for a quiet meal by the water. Google Maps brought up this place and here we are!
It was a tad noisy when we first walked inside the bar to announce our arrival (lol), so we chose to sit outside — we loved the tables and the view, though it was a tad chilly for the second day of summer, with grey clouds and a slight breeze. Sadly, there was no live music because of the weather — and you could tell from chatting with staff that they were frustrated by this.
Service was quick and very friendly, and our food was served piping hot and very fresh! I was a tad nervous about reviews that mentioned a lack of proper silverware and plates, but we had both and it was great!
My husband went for a burger (our server’s recommendation) and he said it was “awesome”. My veggie burger was officially the best burger I may have ever had! The onion rings were also incredibly fresh and super yum!
Despite the lack of live music, we enjoyed the choice of music over the speakers and I can imagine this place is full of atmosphere during the warmer summer months.
Extensive menu with lots to choose from — would definitely return!
I’ve been there a few times and each time I’ve tried something new. There hasn’t been a meal there that I wouldn’t reorder it again. I recommend the buffalo calamari.
