The Clam Bar - Seafood restaurant in North Syracuse - 3914 Brewerton Rd, USA

I had the Seafood Alfredo and the fried oyster strips. The scallops in the Alfredo were huge and cooked to perfection. I wanted to try the desert menu badly, but the two dishes I tried left me too full to take on anything else. The atmosphere was very lively, as it seems like regulars come to the bar to meet and chat. That or this place attracts some of the friendliest people. Either way, it provided for an enjoyable sit-in dining experience. I'll be back to try the stuffed and casino and to hopefully take a shoot at the desert menu.

I had the Clam Bar Golden Combo (fried haddock, sea scallops, shrimp, and clam strips. It's not the best. It's not bad either. I smell cooking oil recycled multiple times.

Always a great stop if you like seafood. However, menu has quite a bit more choices since our last visit. Pasta choices plentiful. Went with haddock sandwich and onion rings. Took home enough for lunch the next day.

Super cute theme, kinda rustic and seaboard. Our waitress was great. The Provincial clams were some of the best I've had. We were drinking the leftover broth! The famous wings were tasty as well. Unfortunately we were severely underwhelmed with the entrees. The famous steak sandwich didn't say slab of steak or Philly chopped. Cheese onions etc were optional and we didn't ask so that's on us. It was chopped up Philly cheese steak style meat. The fried oysters were quite small and not really as expected. Overall we'd come back for the fresh and tasty seafood only. Half eaten photos because we dove in.

I visited this place a few times in 2020 and never left a review. Since I’m in the area I decided to give them another visit, I remember the food being pretty good. It’s still as good as it was 3 years ago. Ordered a sandwich from the special menu and it didn’t disappoint, it was as good as it looks. Chipotle Lime Fried Chicken topped with cheddar, pineapple salsa and a chipotle-lime aioli

We have not been to this place in about 10 years. We used to go here on date nights. We always got the same food so since we were in the area we decided to go back and experience some nostalgia. We always order the same thing. This time was no exception. We ordered the award-winning New England clam chowder, salad with crumbly blue and Italian dressing, and clams provincial. Needless to say, nothing had changed and we were still impressed if not even more with the quality. Our favorite part is dipping the bread, delicious. I should have taken more photos like usual but I was too busy being happy and enjoying the food.

I've heard good things about this place (but from before new ownership took over) and decided to give it a shot..... unfortunately this place takes the cake for the worst food I've ever had at a restaurant, and when I called them after to talk about it, the manager woman hung up on me, and I was NOT rude about it. On 7/12/2023 I took my gf there for her birthday. We ordered the following: Clams Casino (large portion), 2 bowls of New England clam chowder, and 2 crab cake dinner. The clam chowder was absolutely disgusting. There was zero flavor and it was the consistency of water (no thickness). We couldn't understand how they could make such a dusgusting soup. We both said this tastes like soap water. I'm telling you, zero flavor. The clams casino were horrible as well. They were literally, and I kid you not, clam shells filled w bread crumbs and the clam meat itself, nothing else, no cheese, no moisture-contributing ingredients, just bread crumbs, and some were burned. We both said it was like eating sand inside a clam shell. The waitress came over and said they were out of the bernaise sauce for the crab cakes so we luckily canceled that piece of the order, paid the bill, and left. I did not want to embarrass my girlfriend in front of the patrons there by complaining about the food so I made the decision to call the next day. I did call the next day and asked to speak w the manager about the experience. She was as rude as possible. She barely let me speak, and her excuse was, we should have brought it up last night. I explained to her I was not going to create an embarrassing situation for myself or my gf, and it makes zero difference whether I call the next morning or state my issue to the waitress, it STILL happened! Still waiting for the owner to call me, but not holding my breath. They deserve zero dollars from me and I am demanding refund, but in zero-class style for a zero-shame establishment, they are refusing lol. Don't go to this place. They are horrible.

First time visit and the food and service was excellent. Will be back soon and this time for sit down. I read some of the reviews that were negative. It's hard to please everyone.
