Bigelow's Fried Clams

Had the fish and chips, the fish is really fresh. But its not seasoned so its really bland until you put tartar,salt and or hot sauce on it...this place is way over priced for fish and fries .. Its way over priced period.

This place is awesome, just know what to expect before you go. The seating us a U shaped counter around the kitchen, everything open and has maybe 20 stools. Your getting messy food on paper plates, enjoy it. It's a clam shack, the food is amazing if your in the mood for clam shack food; fried clams, fish and chips, chowder. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either, and your not going to leave hungry. Lastly the staff is great, super friendly, clean, efficient.

The place is a throwback to the early 50's and it looks it inside. But the food is really good and the prices are quite reasonable. It is well worth the stop for really good seafood.
1/03/2015. I went in there tonight for the usual fried clam strips , and also decided to get an order of the crab cakes. Now I don't know if this was just an off night, or if the people working at night just don't care how they prepare the food. But let me tell you, the food was not all that good . So instead of the usual 5 stars, I dropped it down to 4.

11/12/2015. The New England clam chowder was over spiced with something, not sure what but it really ruined the flavor. The clam strips were not all that good as well. 3 stars now.

This place is an authentic New England crab shack serving tasty whole-belly (or strip) clams and creamy chowder with a variety of other fresh seafood dishes cooked right in front of you. Not cheap, but worth the price for the quality, quantity, and authenticity.

This was the first time my boyfriend and I have been here. I ordered the fried flounder and fries and my boyfriend ordered the Manhattan clam chowder which was good. He also ordered the fried clam strips. Those were tasty. The batter is pretty spot on. Personally, I think the batter could have had more spices and seasoning but that's my preference. The fries were amazing. The service and atmosphere was great, it was very welcoming. There are also some little nostalgic things from when the place opened and it was just a great experience! We will certainly be going back!
