The Clam is one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. And, believe me, I get around. The lights are perfectly warm and always at the right dimness, the staff are friendly, and the food is just out of this world! My husband and I usually sit at the bar, but if you want a table, you should probably make a res. Between their pristine fish tank and their decor & neon at the bar, the place is just so wonderfully authentic, the owner clearly takes great pride in its appearance. Get a dirty martini and plan your culinary journey! I am a sucker for their chicken parm and it’s the best in Delco. No lie. Their signature baked clams are a must and they come on an adorable “one-of-a-kind” tray, so cute! Lemon ‘em up, slather your bread with butter, and go to town on this as an app. The shrimp lejon is no sleeper either. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. And if you can’t get in, go across the street to Broadway, where the atmosphere isn’t as good, but it’s almost the same kitchen. The Clam is worth the wait!

This restaurant is simply awesome. Located in the heart of Delco you will find great seafood and steaks.
There is a little bar off the right as you walk up where you check in. I always call with a reservation, as it does get busy. I prefer the seating upstairs where you can see the fishtank. This place has a old school atmosphere and is very comfortable.
Clams casino to start with stuffed mushroom caps (crab imperial) and crab balls. My family always goes for the stuffed flounder or stuffed shirmp (the crab imperial is delicious) I like getting the Filet Mignon with crab imperial. They have great bake potatoes and frsh vegetable sides and good FF.
We always have a great meal and a good time which keeps us coming back!

Omg, the Clam Tavern amazing! The food did all the talking. You’ll just have to come and taste the food and experience the atmosphere for yourself. I just don’t have the words to describe how wonderful the Clam Tavern is.

Love the clam tavern! A friend and I went the other night and from start to finish the experience was great. Vicky was our waitress and she was very accommodating. We started with the fried Mozzerella and mussels in the white wine/garlic sauce. Both were killer. With bread of course which was warm and delicious. We didn’t have the chance to get pics because they were gone so quickly. As for the entrees, i got the shrimp and crab Cajun Alfredo special while my friend got the steak special (strip steak mushrooms Marsala sauce crab imperial). Both were absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back soon.

Me and wife are not the biggest seafood fans but we wanted to try something different. We found this place on reddit as many people recommended it.
I had surf and turf and my wife had the Mahi tuna. Both tasted amazing and the portion was just right.
The price was, I suppose, average for seafood (which leans towards being pricey as they can be seasonal), but they usually have specials running that are very fairly priced.
Service was fast and efficient. The owner, Tony, can be seen buzzing around the restaurant laughing and welcoming everyone that walks in.
Atmosphere was cozy even by the bar with their high tables. They have bigger benches near the rear to sit bigger parties, but I dont know if i would bring more than 4 people at a time. Maybe 5?
Great experience, good food, good people.

When you talk best seafood restaurant; you talk Clam Tavern. Little hidden Gem. Parking can be difficult if you don’t know there is a parking lot a block away.
Definitely worth going too. Great food and service.

Great bartender. The baked clams are amazing. The fish and chips have the thickest and most flavorful fish I’ve ever had ❤️

Loved my date here! We made a reservation and were sat next to the fish tank. We ordered baked clams, seafood bisque, and the sea bass. We also got warm bread with butter. Delicious seafood and warm, friendly staff!! A Delco staple will be returning with friends.

One of my favorite places locally. The food is consistent between visits, the wait staff is impeccable, the bussers do a wonderful job maintaining an assisting the flow in the room, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality that one receives here…so i would like to extend our gratitude to all who added to the night of my 47th rotation around the Sun (2/19)…well done gang!
I Highly recommend all that they do here and so does anyone i talk to about the place…
Word of mouth will always be the best advertisement in my opinion; we will certainly be back.
