Hungry Clam, Brookings OR

We normally come to Brookings on the weekends and get fish and chips, but today we decided to go today. OMG! For some reason our fish and chips was so damn delicious everything was perfect, lite batter and not greasy and everything was hot. The hungry clam is always good we’ve never had a bad meal there. It was well worth the 69 mile drive to get there just for the fish and chips. The employees where friendly and on their game. If you are ever in Brookings Oregon, this is the place for the best Fish and Chips, you won’t be disappointed. Thank You to The Hungry Clam.

We ordered fish n'chips, clam chowder, and calamari. The calamari was cooked to perfection. The fish was really awesome. I wish I had taken a picture of our 4 meals. My husband wanted more of my calamari & I didn't want to share. So we have to go back soon. Thank you to the cook and servers.
My husband said the bathroom was very clean. Impressive when a man comments on it.

Amazing! I usually don't eat clam chowder but they make it where anyone would enjoy it, seafood lover or not! I'll be back soon!

Get a clam chowder bread bowl. Never a disappointment! The people are always friendly, even when there is a huge rush of people.

Jordan took our order and Colin was quick to cook it up. We ordered fish N tots and Halibut bites with fries, we weren'tdisappointed.
The prices were fair and that atmosphere was relaxing and clean. These two are doing an awesome job for The Hungry Clam! We will be back again and tell our our friends!
thank you soon much!

This was my first stop after a 15 hour drive from Utah. I was staying close by and couldn't check-in until 4pm so I decided to order some food. The staff was very friendly and quickly took down my order. I ordered the halibut bites, the crab cakes, and the clam chowder.

After I placed my order I had to use the the restroom and I'm grateful it was clean and not just for employees. The place is a small diner with a very cute theme. The decorations are fun and well put together.

I asked for recommendations on what I should get, and was happy that I had ordered at least one of the items the waitress suggested. I took my food to go and sat in my car as I waited for 4pm to come. The crab cakes were only okay until I dipped them in what I'm assuming was their red pepper sauce. Combined with the sauce they were delicious, which is odd because the sauce had horseradish in it and I absolutely loathe horseradish. The tartar sauce was too creamy and didn't have enough tang, but I squeezed a lemon that was provided into it and it helped a little. The halibut bites smelled horrible and the only way I could eat them was by holding my nose shut. They tasted okay with the lemon tartar sauce. The French fries are your plain run of the mill crinkle fries that you can get at any grocery store. They provided some sort of buttered toast which tasted okay.

The clam chowder was very disappointing. I try to get clam chowder at any restaurant I go to because I love it, but this stuff was very unappealing. It was way creamier than necessary and that was due to the potatoes being the chewy frozen processed ones that you can get out of any can of soup. If they were fresh potatoes they would have had time to break down and give the creaminess a little better flavor. The clams inside the chowder were actually very good and probably the only good part of the dish. There is a place further up the coast called Local Ocean which has the best clam chowder I've ever tasted, but the rest of their food that I tried was only so-so.

Overall the reason they are getting 4 stars is because they were friendly, they had clean restrooms, good aesthetics, and they made me realize that horseradish actually can have potential other than being meant for the trash can.

It was empty when the other places around it had waiting lists to get in.

Silly Humans.

Best food on the coast by far. Try the clam chowder on fried biscuits.

We had the best experience here. Their clam bowls are delicious (they sell out sometimes)! They turn the inside Part of the bowl to French bread! It was delicious!

The calamari is the long thick type I love!

We came in near closing and they were super nice and helpful. So great we went back the first night, but not before my wife grabbed a sweet bright pink “ hungry clam” sweater. We will be back as soon as humanly possible:)

One of my 3 favorite places to eat at the coast, also happens to be one of my accounts so I see thier kitchen, they do a pretty amazing job at keeping it clean, every time I've been in food is stored correctly dated etc, the sad part is like so many businesses after covid they are struggling, they are a local to brookings owner and with the love they give thier cooking they are definetly worth driving out of your way a little bit to eat at! Down by the harbor:)

Killer Food and Even better service, short staffed and still rocking an rolling with great attitudes to go with it.must Go

Have lived across the street for 2 years and tried it the first time last night. 2 years wasted searching for that perfect meal to get it here. Absolutely fantastic. My son doesn't care for seafood so he got the burger. Best burger he's ever had and it was massive. Also, I love seafood except oysters, but wanted the ultimate combo, and they happily obliged my request to substitute them out for more shrimp. Super friendly staff and decent price

Little seaside eatery in the port with great food and polite business. We sat outside at the tables provided enjoying the sun and food with our pup.

Good munu ordered the fish and chips for me and my wife. Friendly staff had to wait 40 minutes for food place is popular and had been closed for about a week. Quality of food was good.

The food is made to order, so fresh! The Clam Chowder, was delicious and our seafood fried combo was filled with all our favorites. The service was great!

Some of the best seafood around! We ate here twice in the 3 nights staying in the area. I had their scallops-twice! OMG so delicious. Most places overcook scallops. My husband had oysters one day and shrimp the second time. It was his idea to go back before leaving town! A definite must for great seafood baskets. We will eat here anytime we are back in Brookings!

My wife and I got to-go food there Sept 28 and love the place, food and service. My wife had scallops and I had fish and chips. Both were great! They were very busy and there was a 30 minute wait! This was our second time getting food there. Highly recommended! Thank you-we'll be back!

Ordered the crab melt and it was bland, had very little crab, was expensive and the crab was dry. Not at all what we expected after reading the reviews. Very disappointed! Tuna melt was ok.

Unimpressed. The food was pretty expensive for a fast food type place and it didn't even taste very good! The shrimp and crab melt tasted like cheap cheese and the fish and chips were soggy. Mozzarella sticks were fine though!

Delicious food. Stopped for lunch and was hesitant about going in because of the name. I don't like seafood. Glad we went in.they have hamburgers, hot dogs, fish, fries and a whole lot of other sandwiches.

There was a wait but food was great! I waited 1 hour and 20 minutes but they informed me before ordering. My suggestion is you call in your order ahead of time. Chowder bread bowl was delicious and my husband’s order of fish and chips was great as well. Staff was great as well! Highly recommend this place.
