We moved to VA from MA many years ago and have not been able to find anything that compares to these delicious Ipswich Clams. The Clam Box has been around a long time and still is as delicious as I remember. Had a lobster roll...More

As a Father’s Day tradition my husband gets to choose a special dinner, home-cooked or take out. This year he chose clams and fish from the Clam Box. I called to place an order around 2:45pm but the machine said that they were unable to...More

This place has been doing things the same way for a very long time. Batter is crisp, but to me it lacks seasoning. The clams for me were a bit over-fried, but still tasty. It bugs me when restaurants are chintzy on tartar sauce, this...More
