Reviews of Casual Clam Seafood Bar & Grill
Mrs Icey
So our waitress was great. It took awhile to get the food but it was good. A bit pricey and be sure to ask the price on menu items listed as market price. My husbands platter was $40 something. My sons shrimp pasta was $22.

The food here was pricey and okay. The shrimp was big but overcooked and the Alfredo had way too much dried herbs. Our server was friendly and quick. The fish tacos were way too spicy. They were out of Pineapple Upside-down Cake. The waitress said she has worked there a long time and has never seen them run out. She said the cake is small but warm. I asked about the Lobster Roll. The waitress said it was $33 and not worth the price. The clam Chowder Gumbo was amazing! It was the second best part of this meal, next to my Gorgeous Husband. 😍

One of the remaining restaurants in the area that gives you the old Florida feel. Food was extremely fresh. The chicken tenders were hug and golden fried to perfection. The lobster roll was pretty dang good, not cheap, and the hushpuppies were great. I also greatly enjoyed the fish spread which unlike other places, served diced veggies to top your crackers.

New menu from what I was told. special sounds nice, but then ran out fast. The prices are very reasonable, so as the drinks. Food is ok, but price and portion make up for it.

Every time we are in the area we stop here. We love the oysters on the half shell, the atmosphere, the nice casual dining, and the service has been great every time we have come here. Their seafood is great and they have great cocktails. I would recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been. If you like seafood, try this place.

Little hidden gem if you like shrimp! Always had a good dining experience here . Large shrimp , even an AYCE option prepared 3 different ways , kids always like . Service is normally fast , very nice casual place to dine. Please up the great work and high quality shrimp 👍🏻 …

Whenever I travel, I always try to eat what's best recommended in the area. Being down in Florida, you gotta try the seafood. All this comes locally and it taste so good. This little unassuming seafood shack is super popular among the locals and they have $1.50 draft beers everyday and AYCE shrimp Monday thru Friday for $31+. I ordered the Fisherman's platter and let me just say the sheer amount of food was crazy. It came with whole clams, scallops, cod, shrimp, onion rings, fries and 2 sides. The waitress was nice and answered all of our questions. It cost me $40+ so it's not cheap at all. There was a few problems, some of the fried pieces were undercooked and if I'm paying that much money for a meal I expect it to be fried properly, the rice pilaf was dry and the house potatoes had no seasoning at all. I was slightly disappointed in my meal but willing to give them a try again when I visit as it was recommended by a good family member.
KIMBERLY THOMAS
Oh my goodness..PERFECT, relaxed, outdoor,bar atmosphere…..with an open seating plan and gentle music In background ….(I think).. It was exactly 5:30 pm, perfect temperature w/ a light breeze. My Aunt & Uncle have made this place their “little ritual”, when he vacations in Fl once a year!! So after my Boyfriend and I found out-That it was also my Auntsy’s Bitrthday🥳we
drove down from N.Tampa, so we wouldn’t miss any of the Casual,Clammy Birthday! Festivities.#1-Excellent Good-I ordered popcorn shrimp with a side of steamed broccoli and a side salad..Very impressed.. The only👎 was the service. We had a table full of dishes.,and right before about we were getting our group pic, the waitress grabs my Aunt’s *Ahi Tuna Tacos* -that she purposely wrapped up after taking only 2 bites, so she could savor them at home for a couple days(which I guess it’s something she always does because she doesn’t go out a lot!!) So having waitressed and bartended at a few different places, earlier in life,I noticed these little bad I no’s as a waitress.On top of that I couldn’t get 1 person that worked there , help in sing Happy Birthday to my Aunt.Our waitress straight out said “No way”(Not even kidding), the bartender, whom we all saw many times to refill our own drinks, From Sweet Teas,Waters, and Budweiser draft.I asked a few people if the manager ,”Nick?” was there and I guess he was not there that night.🤔Lastly if you look at my Aunt’s face progressively through the pics, she was so sad about her thrown away 1.5 Ahi Tuna tacos, To which- just to put it out there -probably wouldn’t be so sincerely not a big deal to most, but-on the note that she is the most loving, non-judge mental, sees only the GOOD in All things, GODLIEST person that I’ve EVER KNOWN, not feeling that I have to explain her character too much..And after finding out what happened ( especially after finding out that she literally doesn’t eat out EVER, except this *1* night that she waits for all year, which just happened to be on her birthday this year, and wasn’t even going to say anything, knowing it had to be a mistake.So of course I -as the pit bull for the people I love in our little family-Very nicely explained to the waitress, just the ONE problem. Only asked if they could possibly replace both the tacos , she said the they couldn’t replace -.5 tacos but. St he would get her 1.For people getting paid on how attentive and kind they are to their customers,this waitress got “The Casual Clam” just 1 star from me, but the food was so fab, I had to give a least 3 stars, and maybe a tip that if WE ALL could be a little nicer to others in any situation /We could all possibly make this world a little more peaceful, one fish taco at a time!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Starr Hoover
It was amazing. The service was good the food was amazing. The place was quaint and comfortable. Not crowded as I would have thought with all the cars there. It was a pleasant suprise and WILL be back. Great job guys. Your manager needs to know you all rocked and worked together!!

I was a bit disappointed in the food for the price. I got the platter with fish, clams, shrimp, and scallops with fries and hushpuppies. I shouldn't have gotten everything fried. It might have been better if I got some things cooked differently. It needed more seasoning. Hushpuppies and fish are great and the did give a lot of food. Everyone was nice.
Lisa W Boyle
Low key laid back restaurant offering basic seafood baskets. The fried oysters and onion basket had good flavor. The oysters could have been fried longer but still had good flavor. My husband ordered fish and chips, we were hoping for catfish but they only had cod. It was still tasty though. The fish tasted fresh and cook perfectly. They also offered a nice selection of beer and and wine. We would definitely go there again.
Tamra Boney
Casual clam is a great little place to eat & have some afternoon cocktails. It has outside and inside seating. Outside seating is best for couples or small groups because seating is limited. Outside There are about 7 or 8 high top tabs, 2 or 3 long bench type tables for groups and about 3 or 4 four person tables. There is a full bar outside that stretches the length of the outside seating area, so it's a good size with a couple of smaller tv's. The wait staff was very polite & tentative. The food came out in a decent amount of time. Parking is a bit limited. Easy to pull into from 9th st. North. It's across from the winn dixie.
Saif Al-Alawi
My massage therapist recommended this place and upon talking to locals in the downtown area about it, discovered they'd never been. Perhaps they're a bit snobby down south but this place is worth a shot. It's greasy and unhealthy but tasty and filling. The server got slammed after we arrived and did her best to maintain order. My friends and were there to reunite so we slowly grazed our fried delights. It's tasty but perhaps a side of hot sauce will complement it nicely.
Room Design In a Box
This place was so good! I got their fried clam strips and thin, crispy onion rings with tiger sauce, as recommended by Julie, my server. I would go back for her kind hospitality on it's own, but those clam strips were great! Cool spot too with lots of friendly people, good music and vibes at the bar.
Susan Moutray
Mushrooms were fantastic and more than we could eat. My boyfriends chicken Philly was the best he's had! My blackened shrimp were perfectly cooked. Also tried the clambo, yummy. Excellent service as well. We'll definitely be back
Jasmina k
Not impressed for the price, shrimp was dry. Very casual, fast food atmosphere with food served in plastic baskets, and drinks in plastic cups, everything implied cheap except the price of food. Staff was friendly though.
Jenni R
It was a nice day and we were looking for a place to eat outside. We were pleasantly surprised. Great food and service too. We definitely will be back.
Carry Vaughan-Sprouse
We went one night for dinner while visiting the area. I actually found them via Door dash. We were looking for somewhere near our hotel and hopefully not super touristy. This place was definitely what we were looking for! Indoor and outdoor seating available, simple menu for the most part but a decent selection. I got the shrimp tacos and they were so great we came back the next night so I could get them again before we left town. Definitely worth the trip!!
TIMOTHY BELK
The Casual Clam is my quick “go to” for fresh quality seafood. Casual, friendly, hospitable, and a bit like going home, the Casual Clam is reminiscent of a southern fish camp.
You won’t be disappointed with the dining experience!
Matt Culberson
Great fried seafood. Don't know if it's the case, but has a great "been here a long time, locals love it" no frills just good atmosphere place I'd go all the time if I lived down here.
Estrella
Delicious seafood spot! Can't miss it while in St. Pete. Great taste and cooked very well. I'm big on clam chowders so I wish theirs had more clams in it instead of tasting like celery soup...But I would come back to eat more seafood platters for sure!
Jaan Vendla
Great naberhood bar where everybody knows everybody, a friendly atmosphere, and stuff.
Karen Kirkpatrick (KayteCanDo)
Super popular neighborhood restaurant and bar with that special Florida feel. They have $5 burgers all day, every day but I opted for the clam strips which were FABULOUS. A generous portion, too! They also serve oysters and many kinds of fresh fish. Casual, upbeat and fun place to meet for a drink as well as dine. Open air.
Mirabela Ticu
It’s was our first time here tonight and we were pleasantly surprised to find such great seafood and friendly service so close to downtown. Fresh, fast and great prices. I had the fried shrimp, it was crispy with hush puppies and broccoli! So good... music was great too! We’ll be back for sure. Beats driving all the way to crabby bills just to wait in line for mediocre seafood.
Ty Larkin
Great shrimp tacos and my favorite Lobsta roll. Reasonable prices and plays a great variety of music. The house salad is a great side!
Winn High
The restaurant was very busy . Good music with a great vibe . The outside eating area was busier than inside . Drinks were very good . From the look of the menu board they have specials everyday of the week . Happy hour is daily 4pm - 6pm . Our server Aspyn was phenomenal . The portions of food were huge . I enjoyed the Clambo soup which is a combo of clam chowder & gumbo it was fantastic ! Main courses were clam dinner & my wife had the clam , haddock , shrimp meal with added scallops . Both meals were over the top delicious . We look forward to returning soon . Reminds us of Martha's Vineyard quality seafood . Great job Casual Clam !
Krista Petkov
Really tasty spicy gumbo, average side salad but with awesome Greek dressing, haddock sandwich. Nice chunk of fish that they even split up for sharing between the two of us. Excellent service. Free draft beer with Rays ticket even! Atmosphere is much more fun outside.
Rebecca Schultz
Awesome as always 😊 you get the real people of St. Pete, fantastic service, laid back atmosphere and great food! Always a good choice!
sis Squad
Wow, so good! We had the clam strips and they were perfect! So was our waiter, she was perfect too 💙 Definitely coming back!
Robert Lee
My mother-in-law took me here for my first visit for Father’s Day. We had hot boiled shrimp to start. They were firm and cooked perfectly. The sauce was delicious. I had the captain’s platter, why not it’s my day 😄. Everything was hot and fresh. Of course my sides were cole slaw and hush puppies. I had enough for lunch and took the rest home for dinner. We tried the pineapple upside down cake for dessert.
This may be my first visit but it won’t be my last 😋
Joseph (Rockstar)
Casual neighborhood seafood joint with fresh fish selections sum this place up. Sit indoors or outdoors. The gumbo is average overall and fries are straight up frozen variety of stem fries. The fresh fish is excellent. The Amberjack sandwhich was done perfectly with a good portion of fish. Overall service is friendly.
Elsa Santos
Love it , great Service, really quick but the best thing is finally Seafood that is not salty because always over seasoned..
Robert Price
Awesome place. I was down the road and decided I wanted something good for lunch. I called my order in. Picked it up. And let me tell you the fried shrimp were phenomenal. Thank you so much
Terry
The atmosphere, service, and food were absolutely amazing!!! I come here from KY and have been looking for the best seafood joint. This is by far the best all around.:::::
::::::::::::::::UP DATE:::::::::::::::::::::::
I have brought several people to this establishment and left a very good Google review as well. BUT tonight 6/16/21. I had to go to the bar to order a drink, go to the bar and get it, waited 30 min and still no waitress, the bar tender yelled at me asking if I wanted another drink (Mine was long gone). I asked if I had a waitress she responded with "me". I had to go to the bar and ask for a menu and again to order my food. Every time the bar tender just watching me get up from my table to walk to the bar to wait on myself. The only time anyone came to my table was literally to drop off the food (way undercooked) and bring the check, wich i had to wave down the bartender lady and ask for.. So disappointed. I come here every time I'm in town but tonight is a disaster. Over a 2 hour ordeal.
Jeff Wakefield
Great fried clams. Nice light breading perfectly fried.
Logan Prescott
Great restaurant, day or night! Most servers are awesome..quick to order drinks food and they check on u regularly..quick to give u bill,no waiting around.
Miss Charlie
One of my absolute favorite places to eat since I first moved to the St. Petersburg area back in 1994!
I never stop in without having myself some of their delicious clam chowder either. Casual? Without a doubt! Dining is offered indoors in the cold air conditionining on our hot and humid days or you can grab a seat in the open air area and enjoy the natural breeze while you sample their absolutely delicious variety of seafood catches and specials of the day.
The staff is always happy to greet you and service is top-notch from open to close so don't feel you need to turn away if it's 15 minutes before closing time. My last visit, we arrived at around 9:30 and they close at 10 pm. We wanted the all-you-can-eat shrimp and service was provided happily, promptly refilled and not once were we made to feel rushed.
I've never been disappointed by a meal, service or the atmosphere here. People of all ages, local and visitors from out of state can be found filling this little gem year-round. If the parking lot is full, be sure to swing back by soon because you'll sure be glad you did!
Qsader Rabbit
Great experience. Joanie was our server and has a great Sense of humor. Sorry about the rubber band. Will definitely be back.
Bradley Marshall
Wow, what a great place and excellent service as well. Highly recommend.
Martin Westerlink
Nice atmosphere great service. You must try the all you can eat shrimp. You will not. e disappointed. Picture was round 2 after being served 20 pieces of jumbo size shrimp. I would visit again.
mistermurdock20
Very good beach style food at a fair price. Fish tacos, oysters, clams, etc, very tasty.
Billie Jo Grassinger
This is my husband's favorite restaurant and one of the only places that we go that he doesn't complain about something!!!
Inside or outside dining. Great for a group or just date night. I have been here with 2 people and with 14 people and have not had a problem with anything! Food is always good and servers know what they are doing!
Bonnie Osbon
Well of course the clam chowder was very good as usual. The blackened shrimp basket was also very good, along with the hush puppies, my sister shared them both with me. I had the Lobster roll, and the french fries. The french fries were very good. Couldn't pay the flies to eat the other. Kinda new that I shouldn't have ordered it, as when you say Maine Lobster, you always seem to get the claws and to me, they taste like rubber. I will never order that again. Thought it would be like shrimp salad since they described it with celery, but it was just ground up lobster meat with the rubber claws laid on top with old lettuce and I think I saw scallion greens, but no mayonnaise or juice of any kind, (lime) came with, but dry and tasteless, not an item that fits on their menu, since everything else works.
Jan Kas
this used to
be our favorite place to go when in town. Not anymore. Way overpriced for a clam basket. About 10 clams & 10 fries for $34. The food is very good. Clam chowder bowl was only a cup of about 3 ounces., not a bowl. We have had Ipswich clams many places down here and never paid that much and plates were so much bigger. We wont be back. $100.00 lunch is a little too much.
Daniel Laukaitis
Great food but they really need to do a lot more marketing if they're going to survive. You can hardly see their sign from the street and in this market they're just not going to make it unless they put up better signage at the very least. But the menu is nice and it's pretty healthy if you just go to scoop in some lettuce
John Cargell
I don't do seafood due to allergies, but my roommate does and absolutely loves it !! I usually get the " all day, every day " $5 hamburger with $3.50 fries, or I do the N.Y. strip . The seasoning on both are perfect and both taste delicious and cooked to my requested temperature. They also have an outside tiki bar. A little on the pricey side, but definitely worth it.
Brian Ritchie
The lobster roll was decent,but on a hot dog bun not toasted or super lightly toasted...for $32 and 5 bites later I wasn't impressed unfortunately,but the lobster salad had decent flavor is the only reason it got 3 starts and not less. Unfortunately finding an excellent lobster roll is extremely hard to find but I've been on the hunt
Stephanie Whitford
Very disappointed in their whole belly fried clams. They advertise Ipswich whole belly clams. They definitely were not. I used to eat here often and I'm from MA. However, they do cook good food and service was great. We all enjoyed sitting outside
Rodney Kittle
I am from New England. This place brings back lots of memories with their Ipswich fried clams. Huge portions!
jon massie
the food was amazing as usual when I FINALLY got it. the server was the absolute WORST I have had in 5 years of living here it took over 20 minutes to even get acknowledged and given a menu. it only got worse from then. the only time I got attention was when I was ready to sign the check I have been here many times but this was just AWFUL. thank god for the kitchen, they pulled this crapshow out and gave great food
Pamela Kay Dial
The place is cool! 😎
Food was good except for the crab cake.
It was very wet and not cooked all the way.... a little sad.
But the rest was good. …
Susie Cotton
So delicious,! Great seafood. Lots of choices. Open air, so dress cool. Worth being a little warm to enjoy these seafood treats.
Ron Hubbard
This was our first trip here and the food was really good...I had the seafood platter and my word it was enough to feed 3 people. Wife had the lobster roll and said it was perfect. Margaritas were good. Only complaint we had was the little side patio allowed smokers and the roll up door was up and the disgusting cigsrette smoke was blowing into the inside seating
Casey Etheredge
Great food, cheap drinks. Amazing lobster roll and the Glambo is soooo damn good! Plus Brian rocks!
R Crow
Neighborhood place with relaxing bar and pretty good food. I like the lightly battered fried shrimp.
Scott Tunmer
It was OK. Loved the fried mushrooms. Staff was very nice. Fisherman platter was large and shareable, but seemed like some parts were a little undercooked. May have been a one-off. They do seem to have a following.
Edward Fahy
The food was good
I had the new england clam chower
Good but a small cup for 7 dollars
susan murray
This was our second time here. We were looking for the same delicious experience as the first time. My husband orderded a bowl of the clambo (gumbo and clam chowder). It came right out. He liked it. I didn't. I ordered the special appetizer..the crab stuffed mushrooms. When I cut into the mushroom, I thought it might have been frozen, but it was raw. The stuffing was barely warm. This took 20 mins to bring out to me. Long after the soup was gone. I had asked the server if they were supposed to be raw and she said 'they run them under the broiler. " That was it. Our seafood platter, corn muffin were very good. Not pleased with the way the server handled this.
Christina Smith
The food was really great, loved the lightly breaded shrimp and onion rings, and ahi tacos were good just needed more wasabi sauce. The outdoor seating was fantastic and great shaded areas to stay out of the sun. The service was just ok and didn't see our waiter much but he was very accommodating to our 5 yr old, having to move seats and food requests.
GaryandCandy Warner
"Julie your an absolute Rockstar waitress!!!" After a shockingly bad experience with a very nasty (now former) employee we almost stopped coming here. But the clam strips are the best in town so we decided to give it another try. Julie is an exceptionally great waitress. She is very personable and friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. Our experience tonight was the total package. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. Thanks Julie 😊
Michelle
I loved it food was excellent and so were the workers prices were a little high but not to high i had the grilled shrimp platter it was $17.99 so worth it anyone in the st petersburg area visting please don' t waste your time at red lobster come here the food is soooo much better the environment was fun and casual as the name suggests you won't be sorry coming here i promise
Nelson Alvarez
I heard about the Casual clam on a radio ad and wanted to give it a try. It turned out to be such a great seafood bar! It's not on the menu, but they are famous for their $1 oysters which were incredible! Our server Melissa was an absolute sweetheart and she kept the food and drinks coming. Cute atmosphere in the outside seating area near the bar. The buffalo shrimp were big and delicious, the fresh Calamari medley was outstanding and came with fried broccoli and peppers. We also split an order of onion rings which were house made, sliced super thin and crispy batter fried and served with house made tangy sauce. Maybe the best onion rings I ever had! This is our new favorite spot, we will be back again soon and often! The only negative thing to mention is their mixed drink menu was fun and inventive, but the drinks themselves were pretty weak. They do have 1.50 draft beers which were fine for me with all of that delicious food! Definitely try it if you're in the area or if you're in the mood for oysters, you wont be disappointed
Adam Martinez
Pretty okay. A bit pricey for what you get, but maybe that was just a one time thing. My family seemed to enjoy their food
Carlos Marin
Best local bar and restaurant, food is so good
Chicken wings
Oysters and the yummy fish sandwich
And my favorite the CLAMBO SOUP SPECTACULAR
WOWOVE IT
Sara Saxon
Great prices, great staff. Shrimp was fresh and simple, gumbo was the right amount of spicy. Drinks were cheap and did not skimp. Loved the atmosphere!
Michael Roy
I am from Sarasota up in St Pete on a work assignment , I drove by this restaurant on my way there , on my way back I stopped in for lunch and had a fried clam and dinner , "outstanding" , the best I have ever had in the 30 years that I've lived in Sarasota , l am from New England (CT.) and have been looking for a place like this since I have been here , I will certainly make the drive back here with my wife for dinner in the near future
Lynn N
Onion rings were raw crunch and left out an order of mushrooms totally which we were told to get back in car to get as they didn’t think they could refund.did not seem to care. Then suggested on our way home from work tomorrow. Sounds like they lost the covid battle from recent reviews .There are too many others that do care
Jim Bazyn
Food was very goodWaitresses were very good and friendlyThe atmosphere was amazing
Rich M
It pains me to give this place that I used to frequent 4 or 5 times a week 3 stars. The prices have gone up and the food is less. My waitress actually threw my casual clam loyalty card in the trash... and once I had her dig it out I asked for the balance on the card for the current meal I just paid for she said zero. Had to get someone else to show her what to do and I find out on a $80 bill I get 248 points. Now wait a minute that's all I get? That doesn't even cover the NEW SURCHARGE FOR PAYING WITH A CREDIT CARD.... WTH...I WOULD HAVE PAID CASH IF I KNEW THAT. place has gone down hill might not come back
Denise Dunn
Outstanding! Server, JULIE superior, expert with ALL menu choices. I had the AHI tuna wrap. Seared to perfection,A 10 without a doubt. Must try if you haven't already. Onion rings, the best! Light, sliced thin onions, batter is like a feather of flavor. Atmosphere is simply savoring. Great dining from start to finish!!! Thanks Julie.
Kim Procopio
Definitely casual, they have covered outdoor dining. The name says it all.
Kathy Sheppard
What a gem! We live south of the Skyway and decided to try this place on our way home and I am so glad we did! The service was attentive. The food was so unexpectedly amazing. We had Buffalo shrimp and Ahi tacos. Believe them when they say it is spicy! It was amazing! I am soooo picky when it comes to tacos and I could not have been more pleased. The Buffalo shrimp were huge and delicious. As a side, we ordered onion rings. Wow. We cannot wait to go back!
Donald Cowart
Food & service can be hit or miss. Sometimes great, sometimes terrible.
Today's visit was a 2 Star.
Excellent food, drinks, & service!
Joe Howard
Hard to justify 5 stars for a bit of a hole in the wall, but I love this place! Just know that it is a fried seafood joint going in and don't expect something fancy. The buffalo shrimp are just outstanding!
Susan Nousiainen “Susie” Adams
Stopped for $5 burger, but also ordered Long Island Iced Tea $9 and onion rings $9. Treated very poorly. Totally ignored, so tip got smaller and smaller. Shame. Visitors from upper Mich ordered same time as me. Still did not have food when I left. Horrible service!!
K B
We've never been here before but decided to check it out.
Service is great and the food is fantastic. We will definitely be back again
Jerry Deschaines
We had a great experience at the casual clam. I actually celebrated my birthday there and the staff and service was excellent! The bartender Bryan really made us feel right at home. He was so friendly and professional and really made this a great time. The food was out of this world. Everything we order was delicious. We will definitely be making this one of our go to spots.
Karen Bozick
Yummy raw oysters $1 each! Excellent burger, fried mushrooms and fried clams...portions are large too! Even the coleslaw was delicious!
Scott Strelka
Great food, friendly wait staff! The all you can eat shrimp is gluttonous, but so worth it!!
Terry Grennon
Amazing little restaurant we stumbled on and I can’t wait to go back! Very casual and laid back and the food is amazing! You have to try their homemade onion rings and tiger sauce (made by Julie) - it is to die for!!! Loved the atmosphere! Reminded me of my favorite little seafood restaurant on the Cape.
Alfredo Rios
The seafood is fresh; the menu interesting and diverse; and the food tastes great. What I liked most was the "professional casual" service - the server was warm & friendly and he accommodated every request graciously (my cousin is a picky eater!). We were here for fathers Day. 6-20-21!This was such a satisfying experience! We were a party of 10 people!
Cher E
Love the food and happy hour (Mon - Sun 11 am - 5 pm)! Awesome patio and huge portions. We always come back!
Lucas Mejia
We tried this place and it didn’t disappoint. Great oysters and other seafood.
Jana MacRae
Very friendly staff. I had the blackened shrimp and fried mushrooms. It was delicious.
Susan Knepp
Bring your appetite!!! The portions are hardy and very tasty! The breading is nice and light so it doesn't weigh down the food. The seafood tastes good n fresh like it just came off the boat. This place does not disappoint.
Jenn Sinclair
Great food. Great service the mango margarita was delicious. If we loved closer we would go there more often.
Rick Dufresne
Good food. Friendly wait staff and reasonably priced.

Julie's make up tip JOSEPH
Good drinks, good food. Friendly staff
Stephen Michalakos (Realtor)
Some of the absolute biggest and freshest oysters I've had in a while! The service, menu and staff are all top notch. This isn't just your neighborhood eatery, please do yourself the favor and make a trip to the Casual Clam!

Love the place great belly clams thanks for having them on the menu Shana waited on me at the bar excellent service
Nichole Peterson
They have the best oysters and clam strips around. Our waitress/bartender Amber was awesome. We never had to ask for anything, she was just on it despite the busy Sunday crowd. The drinks specials were amazing and we would highly recommend for Sunday Funday!
Russia Snipes
Went to the casual clam today for our third time. We originally stumbled across this awesome place because of the $1 oysters but we keep coming back because Bryan the bartender(who we've had each time)was amazing! And the more we try of the menu the better it gets. Well worth a stop in!

I don't get here as often I would like. If your looking for authentic New England seafood this is the place. They NEVER disappoint you. Although recently the prices have increased like everywhere and everything else its still worth it. You'll most likely run into some of us New Englanders there for some good drinks and great conversations. The staff is AWESOME! Maybe I'll see you there someday.
MICHELE HAWRYLO
Been here before and was craving some steamers so went back. The flies were atrocious! You were literally attacked as you sat there. The "steamers" were the worst I've had, unfortunately. They were skinny and stinky, sandy. The lobster roll was so-so. The fried mushrooms were delicious. Hoping this is just one bad day and not the new standard. Past experiences were all good
Melissa Whitus
This place has the best food and such a wonderful atmosphere. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Bartender Bryan goes above and beyond to make sure you have all that you need. He’s wonderful at multi tasking even when the place gets packed. He is always in such a great mood and has such an infectious smile. This place is a gem, great food with great people!
KRISTINE MOSS
The shrimp tacos and the blackened fish sandwich were delicious. I like the open air atmosphere because covid is still active and I don't like indoor dining for that reason. My only complaint is that the music is too loud and it is hard to have a conversation without straining your voice.other than that, it really is a cool place to be.
Danyelle Chisolm
Service was great and food was even better! Highly recommended!
Janet Shall
Great service and very fresh seafood options! My husband and I shared the Mussels to start. I had the Whole Belly Clam basket & he had the Fisherman's Platter. Cute little place we both highly recommend it!
ron knipper
Haven't been here in a few years and it's changed a bit. That being said the food service and ambiance were enough that I won't stay away so long.
Katherine Jordan
Nice clean atmosphere. Outstanding customer service (Dawn and Manager). We had the shrimp and oyster baskets, which were cooked to perfection. They offer and provided a military discount. They comp a free shared dessert due to the clam chowder being served a little bit after the main course. They know how to make things right! We will definitely be back again.
Giselle Reinke
A St. Pete gem! The best seafood you can get in the St. Pete area, including the beach. The Casual Clam had a total local vibe, which made us feel at home and welcome. Their oysters are shucked to order and some of the best I’ve had in the area, mind you, I order them as an app everywhere I go. Our bartender, Bryan, was wonderful. The restaurant was packed, as too be expected as it is “season” and we were still taken care of as if we were the only ones there. Thank you Bryan, and thank you Casual Clam! Think we found our new local hangout!
Tim McNulty
The Casual Clam is within walking distance from my home. I recently stopped by and had the best experience! Delicious food and great drink deals! The service is very friendly and the bartender Bryan is a rock star!! Great place to check out if you’re in St. Pete.
Diane Makin
I’ve taken my two star rating to 5 again after the new ownership has revamped the menu and the food and service has improved vastly. I stayed away for a year and came back to give it a few more tries recently and have been very pleased. My husband really enjoyed the Shrimp Po Boy and said it was better than the one we had in New Orleans. The shrimp is amazing and I will never go anywhere else for shrimp. The hush puppies were great in fact everything was great. I have to say that you have made some great improvements even from the previous owners. Everything crispy and not greasy like it used to be, even the onion rings. The vibe is much better and the restaurant is cleaner. I have been very happy!
Leroy Roth
This is our third time visiting the place each visit has been very pleasant great food quick service and the food is spot on, from the New England area.
I have heard this Location ships in special water from the new England area to cook their food.
Danielle Alden
My husband and I love this place. Good atmosphere ✅ good food ✅ best bartender ✅ (Bryan for the win). We love that they have a full bar, we have full belly’s, and they bring the full good atmosphere. We appreciate that we always have bomb captains platters and AYCE peel and eat but we always come back for the positive vibes and fun atmosphere ( cough cough, Bryan). Make sure to order the Clambo soup 🤤
Claudia Wille
We have not been here since March. The family always make a visit when we are on vacation. The food was so good this time, We made five visits. The food quality has increased tremendously. They have the best seafood around. The server told me they ship the clams in twice a week from Ipswich. Keep up the good work.
George Medeiros
Ahi tacos are delicious but if you don't like spicy food, ask for the wasabi on the side😜
Vanimal 7275646971
Great food and drinks 👍 Best shrimp around..... Looking forward to going back. Angelina always does a fantastic job for me 😉
Stephen Johnson
Nice casual Floridian restaurant with mediocre food. We wanted the fish spread, but didn’t because it came with gross saltines. I had the clambo which had a tasty broth, but was loaded with mostly potatoes. The lobster roll was generous, but was the rather tasteless local lobster instead of Maine lobster.
Jeffrey Ferrara
They got it all here! Great food service and atmosphere!
JNB
Staff was great. They were friendly and helpful. Restaurant was clean. Food was excellent. I got the fried scallops and they were fresh, tasty and not overspiced or salty. My mom had the fried fish and she loved her dinner. We would go back and eat here again.
Andy HisWay
Service was good. Fine establishment. Lobster Roll could use an overhaul. Next time I might request the bun to be buttered and toasted. Happy to get the chance to visit during my stay in Florida.
tracy brice
First time visit..Brian our bartender/ server was fun , witty and he provided excellent service. The food was amazing, we had calamari and raw oysters! Great music good vibes...we will be back...FOR SURE💞🤪 …
James Fleeting
The food is really, really good. My wife is doing physical therapy down the street and my son and I have been driving around the area. After multiple! terrible take out meals and experiences at Tripp's Diner, we decided to try here when we saw a shrimp basket advertised while driving by. My son loves his shrimp!
They have online ordering on their webpage which I really appreciate.
The first time I asked if I could do a curbside pickup and was given a hard time about it. They went so far to tell me they "don't come outside" as I, sitting in their parking lot, watched their servers come outside to serve customers in the outside seating area. They did ultimately bring my food out to the car, which we appreciated. It's possible to safely pull up a few feet from the outdoor dining & door, so it would be very strange to not do curbside on a prepaid online order.
The second time we went they gave us no issue when we asked for curbside pickup, but when the food was brought out to us the server was not wearing a mask.When someone unmasked hands me my food I am left feeling quite uncomfortable. If they're not wearing masks while you can see them are they wearing them in the kitchen? I would appreciate, if anyone from the business reads this, you please reminding your staff to stay masked while on duty, or at a minimum while interacting face to face with customers. I'm hoping next time they're properly masked and it was just a one off issue. The server who gave me my food the first time was properly wearing her mask.
With those two pickup related issues mentioned, let me get back to the important part of my review - the food is amazing.
Their lobster roll is amazing. Their shrimp basket is amazing. Their fries are very good. Their broccoli is very good. Their fish and chips were ok, I prefer a nice big piece of flaky fish to what they have (basically high quality fish fingers), but my son thought they were ok (He prefers the fish and chips at Zekos Mediterranean Grill). Their chicken philly (My wife isn't big into seafood, I know she's crazy) was also very good. I forgot to get it without mushrooms (neither my wife or I like mushrooms) and we both still thought it was good, which is high praise.
It's also a bit pricey. $20 for a relatively small lobster roll. Nevertheless, I've had it twice, so clearly I ultimately decided it was worth it. $15 for the above mentioned gourmet-fish-fingers style fish and chips. $14 for the chicken philly. I'd honestly pin $14-16 for the lobster roll, $12-13 for the fish and chips and $10-12 for the philly as the price points at which I'd think I was getting a good value. I went back though, because ultimately the food was good enough that the expense qualified as a 'Treat yo self' purchase.
None of these issues are serious enough to warrant removing any stars.
When I'm fully vaccinated I'm going to dine in there and try their $5 margarita, if it's good I'll be very happy.
Stephen Alfera
We have been coming here for years. Service is good. Seafood is fresh. Overall good experiences. This last time we went the portions were unusually small. Must have been an off night. Still tasted great. We will be back. Re response: I had a dinner with grilled shrimp and scallops. My wife had a full plate of grilled shrimp. I only received 3 shrimp. It tasted great as always and it was a busy night so no, I did not complain to the server. We have had many great experiences in the past here and will return.

I have to knock it down a star, ordered a cheese steak and the bun was not attached so every bite there was meat flying everywhere. Need more gluten-free items
Nicole Huertas
Very fresh and delicious food! We had the nicest waitress as well. There's ample seating outside and the atmosphere is, as the restaurant is appropriately named, casual and comfortable.
ken benningfield
Good clam chowder. 1st time visiting. Have a feeling be back often.
Went back with wife today. Had a quesadilla with scallops 14. Cup of gumbo 5. 3 small plastic cups of bud light, 2 kettle one drinks. Somehow added up to 45 dollar's. Didn't occur to me to later to check receipts.. seems awfully high.
Tim Percival
Great seevice, prices beyond reasonable, food was cooked to perfection, zero complaints.
Joanna Malsbury
The food was great. They have some of the best New England Clam Chowder that I've ever had, and I'm quite picky about clam chowder. It's a little heavy on the black pepper, but was still so good that I scarfed it down pretty quickly. The portion sizes are pretty good overall. I ordered the mussels as my appetizer and they came in a large bowl. There were easily 30 of them in it, along with two pieces of garlic ciabatta bread. I was full before my entree even arrived. The mussels were FANTASTIC. They came in a garlic butter sauce that complimented the taste of the mussels PERFECTLY. (Pro tip: save the garlic bread for after you finish the mussels and then dip it into the garlic butter mixture leftover...it's to die for!) There was a slight lemon-y taste in the garlic butter that works well also, along with a lemon wedge served on top of the mussels, so note that there is citrus in it if you have any sensitivity to that. Not enough to really cause heartburn or exacerbate an ulcer or anything like that. The French fries that came with the entree were good. Slightly seasoned but not too salty. Crisp outside but fluffy potatoes inside. The chicken sandwich was quite large. I ended up taking it home to eat. It was all delicious!
My husband ordered the chicken wings as his appetizer. He ordered them as mild because he's got a medical condition that makes it difficult for him to tolerate a lot of spicy food. Unfortunately, the mild wings still do have a bit of a kick to them. If you like some heat, they're great. But if you have reflux or ulcers or are sensitive to spicier/hotter foods, it's best to skip those. The cheese steak was good. It came with onions and green peppers mixed in, in addition to the cheese over top. It was juicy and tender and had great flavor.
The setting is quite relaxed and comfortable, like you'd expect on a beach or something. Outside covered seating with fans. There is a bar. Casual Clam has a little bit of a sports bar feel to it, but it's definitely still relaxed enough and appropriate enough for kids to be present. It's quite close to the side of a busy street, so keep in mind that there are lots of cars nearby. You get a nice breeze coming through the seating area. They play music in the background too.
We would both absolutely recommend this place to both locals and tourists. Just keep in mind that it's a bit pricey, so keep that in mind when planning a dinner out. Plan to spend around $60 for two appetizers and two entrées, before the tip.
Also note that I have NOT been paid for my rating, though if Casual Clam decides to do so, I won't complain. I'd settle for a free bowl of your clam chowder though! (;
DNO
The ‘bowl’ of soup was a little small, clam chowder, but it was tasty. The order of hush puppies was ample and they were good.
My friend had the fried shrimp and they were right tasty
Rika673
It was amazing. The workers were very friendly and the service was fast. The food is well worth the price as you get so much of it! Not salty as some seafood places. I highly recommend coming here if you have a hankering for some good seafood.
Denise Saylor
Ok local place. Got wrong drinks. Mushrooms were good. Got our bill before our meal. The shrimp Tacos had shrimp had to find.
no way
Update 6/1/22: The recent reviews are correct, unfortunately the menu is half the selection only cod fish no more Mahi or grouper hand made cajun nuggets or gumbo. Very disappointing. The very expensive lobster bisque was actually very good. I don’t know it’s supposed to be a seafood joint they don’t carry any seafood now. Its 2022 now things should have been figured out by now. Are the local waters that polluted?!
I am so thankful that casual clam is still open with the whole Covid mess and challenges. I was able to recently go there and order very similar items that I normally ordered-I habe been going for 15 years and still plan to go I gave three stars this time because their gumbo seemed water down and didn’t contain any shrimp or crab the menu seemed slimmed down I couldn’t find or the waitress didn’t know of their Cajun haddock nuggets and I did not see any mahi or any of the big fish type sandwich items but I hope if I keep going back their business can get back to where it was where they could have their original menu and quality.
Malinda White
The Place is cute, very Florida relaxed vibe🏝. Bryan, "with a Y" was a great bar tender n waiter👍🏾. The food🤔.... Hubbilious had steamed muscles w/garlic, white wine n butter, he said was good, he had a cup of Gumbo, he said was spicy but good... I had the creamiest New England Clam chowder... yummy! The Conch fritters... they were fried too hard and the Conch was chewy, over cooked. For my meal, I ordered a Lobster Roll. I haven't eaten it yet but the piece of Lobster I tried tasted good.... 💁🏾♀️Would we go back, I don't think so, there are other places we've been to that have been better and there are so many places we haven't tried yet....
Ariana Simonetti
I went here with my dad the other day for the first time. We came around mid afternoon and it was not busy which was nice for a quiet environment. The inside was decorated very cute with a whimsical sea theme and the space was cozy. The servers were very attentive to my food allergies and the whole experience was great. I got peel n' eat shrimp, and a pound of crab legs which were cooked perfectly! I'm very happy to have found this place.
Amy Gower (Roxy)
Good food awesome people who come in , It is a place that you can relax, as the cute long red head she is the best waitress we have had . Thank again
Cynthia Nodland
Great service and super yummy food. Blackened shrimp, fried shrimp and gumbo soup! Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.
Cissy Hancock
love this place!!! The servers are sometimes great/ other times terrible.
But for $1.00 per raw oyster and a cold beer.....Just bring it on.
Maria Carrion
Love the place and there food I well definitely go back and recommend it .
Dianne
Decent place. Totally casual. Fun but food quite slow coming out. Clams with belly's $32.00 outrageous about 8 clams with coleslaw. Friday night lots of people! 2nd time there wouldn't rush back!!!
Rob Abernathy
They hand bread anything. But the onion rings will blow your mind! The blackened grilled shrimp is my favorite. Outside seating, good service, and affordable prices.
Kenneth R Hastie
We visited two days ago. Great experience with friendly and informative bartender. My wife had the special - eight shrimpwith gumbo, I had the clam chowder and the steamed hard she'll clams. Excellent lunch, everything was great. The clams were superb, very clean with no grit - super for FL where it is tough to get real clean clams. The special was great with tasty gumbo and good blackened shrimp. You will enjoy and appreciate the Casual Clam!!
!we are sitting in the clam right now My wife had the fish tacos and I had the clams once again. Absolutely fantastic!! Told waitress I enjoyed garlic so the clam bowl was filled with great garlic butter that I put the side butters in with the bowl. My wife loved the fish tacos with potato salad - loved the Mango sauce!! Again, five star service and food. If you have not been here, give it a try!!
Connor Steen
A great place for any occasion! Delicious, fair priced lobster rolls and a flavor to match. Friendly staff and beautiful atmosphere. Ask for Ashley and tell her Johnny Depps stunt double sent you.
꧁༒ Mxrcy༒꧂
It was a small place very great tasting food and the waitress was like a top tier waitress she was very nice. It had good prices for food too. The shrimp was sooooo good probably the best I ever had. I had fried and steamed shrimp it was great. Anyone who wants great tasting shrimp and great service come here. Best all you can eat.
Joseph Grieshop
Oysters and hush puppies were delicious! The shrimp poboy was amazing! Compliments to the chef. Love the relaxed atmosphere. Waiter Brian is very friendly and inviting. Definitely coming back!
Kristi Munoz
We had such a great time. Excellent service, excellent food and Bryan (with a Y) was the best part. You can tell he LOVES what he does and makes everyone feel welcome I highly recommend this place if you want to have fun and meet some great locals.
MICHELE Preston
This is our favorite go-to restaurant. Great beer specials and on Sunday's they have specials on bloody marys and mimosas. We especially love Bryan behind the bar. Always friendly and mixes great drinks. Dawn is our favorite server. She is really good with our daughter. The food is really good too. We love the Philly cheesesteak and all their seafood. Indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate for covid. Highly recommend!
Whitney H
Stopped here on the last day of our vacation. Nice little place, got menu selection for casual seafood. However the waitress we had was rude, only came to our table once and asked 1 person for a refill while the other drinks were empty. We sat where we could see the food come out of the kitchen and 2 of our plates were taken to another table then returned to the waiting station left to get cold. I had fish tacos that would have been good but were cold and stale.
Anna Peterson
Great little neighborhood spot. It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing drink special, food and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. We adore evenings with Bryan behind the bar, he always brings joy & wit.
Joyceann DeNigris
I'm from Maine, moved to Conn. My husband is a Chef from Conn. Then we moved to Fl. He worked at The Orlando Country club and was one of Arnold Palmers chefs. He later worked at The University Club of Orlando.
I grew up on lobster, clams done anyway you can think from mom and dads love of seafood and wonderful cooking. We had a very good meal tonight. The waitress were all very pleasant. The place was packed and the food came out in a very timely manner. We talked with the owner and hit it off right away as he came to our table and talked with us for a while. Very nice man. I give it 5 stars because the food was great the staff was great and the owner takes time to see his customers are happy.
Deesia Norton
Have lived in St Petersburg for almost 4yrs and it took a review on a Rhode Island page for me to find it. I had the clams rolls with bellies on split top rolls, the right way to serve them. My friend had the fish and chips and fried shrimp. Both were excellent, will be a frequent guest 😋 Big shout out to our server Bryan, with a y 😄
Linda Bergman
We were looking for a place that served fried clams. That's what my mother wanted for her 79th birthday dinner. I found the Casual Clam online and we decided to try it out. The food was exceptionally good with generous portions. We ordered the shrimp platter, seafood platter and the captain's platter and the birthday girl had the fried clam basket. Everything was amazing! The children had fish sticks and fries. The fish sticks were huge and were actual slices of battered fish.
Overall, it was a great meal in a comfortable little place with exceptional service.
D Newell
Food was good. Waitress was nice but didn't refill our drinks. She also was not wearing a mask and was right next to us. Never asked how to split our bill and then got it wrong.
Paul W
Stopped in for a late dinner with my parents that have never been. I also haven't been in a good while so was a little nervous about showing them a good time. Upon arrival and talking with the server we find out they are under new ownership. No worries I thought let's give them a try! I had the Shrimp Loaf, Mom had the fisherman's platter, and Step-dad had the fried whole belly clam dinner. We also shared the clam chowder and the Cape Cod Chips with Feta. I have to say all three of us were very happy with our choices. Everything was prepared to perfection and the whole belly clams were light and delicious, you could taste the sea! Service was quick and the manager stopped by to make sure everyone was happy. For a casual experience with top notch seafood at a fair price I give them an A+ they will remain on my go to list when in the area.
Valerie Baxter
It was ok. Something different to try. Cute atmosphere. Service was eh. I had the clam basket, my husband had the fried oyster basket and our friend had clam chowder and fish tacos. The soup was not even warm when served. The waitress took it back and brought out a fresh bowl that was hot. Overall the food was ok. Don't have any plans on going back anytime soon.
Arlene McNamara
Food was very good. I had the fried clams and brought home philly cheese steak for my husband. He said it was excellent. Service was polite and professional. Restaurant was very clean.
Cindy Hershberger
Love the shrimp and fish nuggets. Large portions. Onion rings are lightly battered thinly sliced with spicy Horseradish dipping sauce.
Katie Wirt Ames
The clam has been one of our regular dinner spots for years. They recently changed ownership and we were slightly disappointed to realize that many of our favorite menu items changed as well. The biggest changes were the breading and buffalo sauce. The new versions are not bad, but they are no longer unique and crave-worthy. The service is always great at the bar, so we will just have to find other things on the menu that make the visit worthwhile.
Carla Anderson
I am a local and commercial fished for 7 years. I have also worked in retail seafood for a year or so , supplying restaurants with crab cakes and conch fritters. Lucky for me the clam is close and I feel has some of the best seafood in St Pete. The staff is excellent and always accommodating. I eat there at least twice a week. Love it!
David Murphy
My family and I were in the area and decided to look for lunch. As we were riding by the Casual Clam, my wife said that looks like a neat little place. So we stopped in to check it out. Great decision! Atmosphere is great, server was great and food was great. Will most definitely stop here again the next time.
Jay Y
Sadly, All-you-can-eat Crablegs are off the menu, but the AYCE Shrimp Mon-Thursday are AMAZING!
Fried, Grilled, Blackened- all great!
Vicki the server was fast, friendly and a joy to work with! Great folks!
Heather west
We have been coming to the Casual Clam for about 12 years. The food has quality has increased 300% since the new owners have purchased the location a couple years ago. The food quality is far superior than any other restaurants in the area and the price you pay Is very fair. They just purchased the property behind the restaurant and turn it into a parking lot which is very convenient and we noticed yesterday they installed new bike racks. Keep up the good work and Thank you for providing St. Petersburg with fresh new England seafood.
se ww
The staff was great completely clean great parking amazing food
Joshua Keglovits
We had a lot of fun here one Saturday. Cute place, great staff, good prices.
Sara Kellen
Stumbled upon this little gem while we were out Christmas shopping. If you love Fried Oysters, I highly recommend the Fried Oyster Po'Boy here, it's one of the best I've ever had! The staff was very informative and helpful as to the menu. Plus a $5 Margarita, I was a HAPPY CAMPER!
Gene Aulenbach
The fried shrimp basket, grilled scallop basket and the fried oyster basket were delicious along with hush puppies and new potatoes. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. One of my favorite restaurants in St. Pete.
Kimberly Pittman
Great food....I myself order the Capital platter, my husband had shrimp platter and my son the kids shrimp. Very good and a lot of food. Definitely worth the money. Nice casual atmosphere....outside donning. Very friendly service. We will be back😀😀😀 …
Joseph E Pearson
Great food and experience. Amber was very attentive and made sure we had everything without having to ask. The oysters and clams were very tasty. We will definitely be back.
Backpack
Great drinks, mussels are really good! Burger was moderate though, nice small place overall. Would return!
Bob Lewis
Stopped by here after Rays game with friends, seated quickly outside and drink order taken right away. Nice Happy Hour specisls! Best bang for the buck was their delicious shrimp dinner with two sides. Had mine grilled with side salad. Should have not ordered the salad because there was A LOT of good sized shrimp. Hush puppies were good too. Will be back again. Only 4 stars because outside dining is along busy roadside but otherwise good choice.
autumn sanabria
Omg. Our server Carmen was so friendly and personable. The manager was very personable also. Conch fritters, fried mushrooms, big house salad (4.00) and 4 beers $21.00. Music fantastic and atmosphere was perfect. Will be back this week. Go to casual clams. You will LOVE it.
Joseph Badgett
Very, VERY good food and extremely affordable - very happy that I found this place as its truly a hidden gem! If you’re in the area, check this place out, and if you’re looking for a Sunday brunch spot - DEFINITELY give this place a go as you will not be disappointed with the specials!!
Bobbi O'Hare
Excellent service and friendly folks! Great drinks, reasonable! And the owner came over to see if we were OK AND brought a FREE
Key Lime Pie for our Birthday Girl!!!
Much Appreciated and we will definitely be back!!!!
Gerry Brown
I've been twice now, and both times the food was on point!!! Coming from Key West, I like my seafood. Everything is cooked perfectly, not overdone or undercooked. Portions are quite large so bring your appetite!!! Prices are way fair, with five dollar Margaritas and all you can eat shrimp for less than twenty five bucks you can't beat it. The atmosphere is casual and will leave you happy as a clam! Couldn't resist 😎
Gene
I'm from New Jersey and always have to take a stop here. Great atmosphere, great food. Today Brian was behind the bar and provided us excellent service. Will always come back when in town.
Work Smart Dental Consulting II
Shrimp basket! 🍤 🔥, 🐕 friendly great spot to watch the game!
Sandi DesFosses
Place was understaffed and took a while to get service or food. Waitress was very friendly and nice though. We had fried clams and it was mostly thick batter on very small clams. Tasteless. Cole slaw was good as was the clam chowder, although it was not hot. Being New Englanders it was a disappointment for our dinner.
Stephen Allen
All you can eat shrimp was great! Nate was even better recommended the blackened shrimp which was also great. Every time I come to St Pete I’ll be back for this!
Alan “Zarbizarre” Linhart
Cool location. Had fried calamari with broccoli and peppers. Everything tasted the same due the the over abundance of breading and the oil used. I imagine everything deep fried there tastes exactly the same due to the oil except right after filtering or changing it. Nature of seafood places tho. The drinks were decent. Margaritas with salt. 🍹 not too strong not too weak and easy to drink a lot of them if you arent careful
Chance Moreland
I love it here. Bryan is a treasure and always provides a great time. Beautiful breezy bar seating and everything you want in fried seafood.
Have a sandwich and a beer and get casual
Rebeca Pupo
I have never had a negative experience at Casual Clam. The food is AWESOME! I highly recommend the salmon sandwich and the clam chowder. My family has also said great things about their key lime pie. The outdoor seating area is cute and hidden from 9th street with lots of plants so that it doesn't feel like you are sitting on a main road. They recently started selling breakfast, too! All the staff are very friendly and personable as well.
Not Me
Service was great after learning that they close early. Really? What restaurant closes at nine? Anyway, it was mildly entertaining to see the usual dunks sit at the bar and laugh at nothing. Not impressed. Food was good. Atmosphere was a negative.
Debby Strauch
Rob the manager came over and asked us how we enjoyed our meal. Found out we're all formerly from NY. Haddock basket so good, loved how they cut fish into strips. Not greasy at all. Also had cajun shrimp, so tender n juicy! Our 1st time n won't be our last!
Janet Abbasi
This was a nice spot to just chill, relax and get some decently priced ok food. Food wasn't great but wasn't that bad. The onion rings and fried mushroom orders are huge. The Alfredo sauce on the chicken Alfredo was the worst I have ever had. Sit in the outdoor seating for the fresh breeze and cool outdoor feel.
Jill Ringenberg
The best!
Fried shrimp and Cod nuggets
Don't miss out on the fried green beans with Tiger sauce and excellent onion rings.
We drive from Venice for take out and itcis consistently excellent. Loved the new cardboard boxes much better than styrofoam which tends to ruin alot of food.
Sonja Reavis
Best Clams ever! Eat in as portions are better. Lovely patio that fur baby can enjoy
DeWayne Combs
I've been eating here for years, everything I've ever had has been great. The fried mushrooms are awesome. Fast service, friendly staff.
Ashley Carrillo
The place is super clean, and i'm a clean freak so I appreciated that, but the food...eh. It was bland for me. I had the grouper sandwich and the fries. The grouper wasn't seasoned right. I had to put like 4 lemons on it for taste and the fries tasted like they weren't fried all the way so they were hard and didnt taste like anything. The staff was very nice though. Very attentive.
Jennifer Baehre
Really enjoyed it! Came early on a Sunday for $2 bloodies, $1 oysters, and AYCE shrimp. My favorite we're the Old Bay and garlic, hubby likes the Buffalo shrimp. We'll definitely be back for Sunday on the patio!
Meg Wille
Each time we go here the food is very good and fast.
The place has been there a long time and is a staple in the area.
Sharlean Driggins
Sat 1/21/2017 my kid and I were in the neighbourhood and wanted to visit the CC since we love their food. The services was horrible. Waitress complained about previous customers (how they asked about calories of the food), fact that she had two tables right when she came in, had to keep asking for refills, not friendly at all, etc. I've eaten at this resturant before more than once in the past with great service (it is a distance from me) but this is the first time I had suck crappy service. My kid and I left with the thought of if this is how the service is going to be then we will not be back. Love the food, service needs major work.

I have had worse experiences at seafood bars, but this place was underwhelming. The raw oyster special had apparently not been rinsed at all, so every mouthful was gritty. They did seem fresh though, so I wasn't worried about getting sick. The fried belly clams were decent, just be aware of the difference between belly clams and clam strips, it isn't for everyone. My wife's clam chowder was barely lukewarm, but had an ok flavor.
Rita Burgess
Wow! Talk about a shrimp fest, we enjoyed large, juicy, perfectly cooked shrimp three different ways, AYCE $24. The sides were standard but tasty. Others in our party had grilled Mahi (fresh, moist, and tasty) and a sauteed crab cake served with a creamy remoulade sauce.
The service was great, even though they were very busy, and the crowd was very friendly. The place isn't fancy, but it's clean, welcoming, and has indoor and outdoor seating. Great family and friend vibe. We all loved it!
Julie Beverly
We moved to town recently & love this spot. It’s our go to! Super chill vibe & great fried shrimp. No frills lil local spot & Bryan the bartender is super awesome!
Kelly W. Light
Wonderful food. Large servings. Great service
Rudy Feagley
Just had lunch there for the first time. It was awesome. I found my new favorite place. We split some items so we could try more than 1 think. The Clambo (clam chowder mixed with seafood gumbo) is a must. Then we ordered the whol belly clam basket and one of the daily specials (grilled salmon BLT). Both were great but the clam basket was huge and I can't wait to order it again. Also the staff and service were great. Just can't say enough!!
ERIC M
Great place to eat. We loved it. They welcomed us with open arms and food was delicious 😋.
Alan P
Great neighborhood seafood. There's a small air conditioned dining room and a larger outdoor bar area, so you can take your choice. Great staff, fast kitchen.
DJ M
The food here was delicious! I ordered their Clambo (gumbo and New England Clam Chowder combined) as well as some fried oysters. My meal was very filling! I didn't expect the Clambo to be as good as it was. It's definitely my new favorite soup!
Debbie Aubrey
I had the lobster roll which was served on a soft roll , which had plenty of lobster on it. The roll looked kind of small. but it was again packed with lobster. It had dill in it which I don't care for, but it really was not over whelming. It was great!
My husband had a jerk seafood sampler , he also thought it was great. GREAT service, friendly staff, clean and inviting.
brent hisgen
Julie was, BY FAR, the most incredible server I have ever had at ANY restaurant...BAR NONE!!! Thank you, Julie, for the amazingly enjoyable experience! The food rocked, too!
Sean Rose
Very Solid place in the area. Great food each time you go and they make it Fresh and fast.
MIchele Dickinson
I love this place, Bryan is amazing! Bryan always rembers me by name has my favorite drink ready and is so friendly. Not to mention, the food is sooooo good, I strongly suggest the shrimp tacos, delicious!!!!!
Susan M.
We often drive from North tampa on the weekend to eat here. This is really good seafood! I've never had a bad meal here. The blackened haddock sandwich is as good or better than grouper, the seafood pastas are more than generous servings, fried shrimp are fresh, big, and not frozen. And the chowder and lobster roll are KILLER. Can you tell I like this place? Beers cold too.
Jason Smith
Always awesome! The wife and myself went in for a late lunch. Both of us got the whole belly clam basket. SO GOOD! Can't go wrong at the Clam
Robin Lundin
Casual Clam is for all the New Englanders wanting a piece of home. Our favorite place closed down and I was looking for a place for my hubby. The food was excellent and so was the service. There are about 8 tables inside and lots of seating outside. There is 1 large TV on the wall in the middle. We will be back.
Susan Shasteen
Ate here today for the first time even though I have been in St Pete for over 30 years. Great seafood! Grouper sandwich was fresh and a very large piece. Tuna was fresh and also excellent. Friendly staff. Will visit again!
Dirt Sailor Handyman Service LLC
Came in here today jonesing for oysters. Sat at the outside bar and Sarah took care of me. The oysters were fresh and delicious. The beer was cold and refreshing, and the place was quaint and welcoming. But most importantly...it was friendly on the wallet.
I was very impressed with Sarah, she was attentive, friendly, and awesome!!!!
I will definitely be coming back here and bringing my whole platoon with me.
Eva S
Great atmosphere with really good seafood! Whole belly clams were so tasty! Fun outdoor seating area with a full bar. Would have been five stars if my food had been warmer.....
Kimberly Tura
Love the in door and out door seating. Food was good had the Philly cheese steak. My kids love the hushpuppies and the chicken strips.
Jennifer Martinez
The Casual Clam always has a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The food is always fresh, perfectly cooked, and quickly brought to our table by friendly and attentive servers. My favorite is the crab cake dinner: It is served with three, meaty, expertly seasoned, burger-sized patties of pure crab nirvana. The hush puppies are also the best I have ever had; with a light onion flavor and fluffy texture, they manage to be rich, but not too heavy and compliment everything on the menu. This place is an absolute gem and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting their taste buds to dance and sing to the tune of la mer.
Dr Art Shaw
CASUAL CLAM IS THE BEST!!!
Having grown up in New England and had Sea food in the great old restaurants such as the Original Legal Seafood in Codman Square, the No Name, Anthony's Pier 4, and The Union Oyster House; I can tell you this restaurant rates right up there with the best of New England's seafood restaurants. Great food! Great atmosphere! What more can you ask for?
Denise Bari
Tasty seafood at a reasonable price. Excellent service. My favorite is their shrimp dinner. Huge serving of colossal shrimp with very light breading. Perfect! Their blackened shrimp is great as well. And don't forget their hush puppies!
Chef Jon
Great, totally casual, laid back local hangout. Food was very impressive. Very clean tasting fried grouper sandwich was awesome. $1 drafts at happy hour.. not a huge beer selection.
jonathan davis
Gumbo and Margaritas are Double Awsome, with great staff giving it an aditional x10.
Michael Pasanen
Was little busy people was walking in all at same time orders came out fairly quick and waitress was polite. Pricing was medium about 9 to 20 dollars each pending on what you order. Overall we all had a good dining experience.
Diana Romann
Been there a thousand times for the seafood platter! Gonna be taking my grandson there for his 21st birthday in a couple of weeks!
Robert Wydra
Blackened shrimp basket was very good with steamed broccoli. Shrimp linguini was very good too. Good service. I wish children did not have to be entertained by an iPad while others are eating and conversing, order take out please.
Knotty Nanna
Popped in for lunch on a lovely Saturday just so I could sit outside at the bar. Had the best burger I've eaten in a long time. Also all day $1 drafts! Generous portions, great service, folksy atmosphere, fair prices.
John Hutchison
We've been going to the Clam for the last 7 years. Food is always delicious, service is great, and we really like the unusual architecture of the building itself which gives the restaurant a lot of character. We also feel that we get an outstanding value for the money.
KD PBS
Nice casual place. They have a sheltered outside area for the smokers among us. I ate there a few times and liked it but found myself in the last few years to just drop in and get some gumbo to go, which is awesome and now call o ahead required. Also good to grab and go is the Clamp Chowder soup on those chilly winter days
Jeffery Loy
The best New England seafood in the area. Friends from Boston Massachusetts who went with me told the staff it was better than some of their restaurants back home. Large portions cooked perfectly and specials everyday of the week. A little bit short staffed at lunchtime but the food made up for it. I had haddock, Ipswich clams w/bellies, shrimp, scallops, hushpuppies & coleslaw. $1.00 draft beer was ice cold.
Rachel Wren
Amazing food, I went with my family last night
And everyone was so kind and helpful. amazing atmosphere 10/10 will go here again
Vicky Razzaboni
Man.. I love these guys and had been raring to go back since the pandemic. I was perusing the latest reviews and saw that someone had mentioned them not wearing masks. We decided to give them a shot anyways, figuring that maybe it was an isolated incident. We walked in as they were just opening, used their restrooms, and immediately left. Not the servers, not the bartender/bar staff.. No one wearing masks. Really unfortunate. Just fyi for anyone else covid conscious or immuno-compromised. We drove down the street to another restaurant.. Every single staff member is wearing masks and maintaining distance.
Sue “Phantom reviews” Van
Just another fried seafood joint. Ok.waiter was very sweet.
Tracie Boyd
A favorite for great seafood. Oysters were fresh and shucked perfectly. Steamed little necks were wonderful! Snow crab steamed perfectly! Affordable as well..even their market priced items. 5+ stars!!
earthhouse2
Normally this place rocks. Best tasting seafood around. However, last visit was noticeably bad. Service was poor at best, if not offensive at times. To compound matters, we had invited guests telling them what a phenom this place was. Costly, and poorly timed drop of the ball. Hope this is not a trend.
Peter Westover
The menu is minus a good amount of items.
Mackenzie H
Pretty amazing. I've driven past this place my whole life and my friend suggested we go there one evening. Awesome Seafood. Everything tasted great, service was good, atmosphere was good. Portions and prices great
crc964
Best fried deep sea scallops in St Pete! The staff are super friendly! The food is fantastic! Excellent Long Island Iced Tea! Delicious key lime pie! Highly recommended!
Steve Wonderly
Fried shrimp is really tasty! Moderately priced for good quality food. Not much to look at - inside or out, but it's a comfortable, casual place. Parking is limited, but in the evenings you can usually park in the P.O. lot across the street.
Edward Crowley (kioskgypsy)
Nice casual and semi-local spot, very good attentive service and we usually love the whole belly clams, but recently the prices are much higher ($$$) and the portion size severely reduced. Let's hope this little gem returns to normalcy after all this ceaziness!! Cheers! 🍺👍 …
Mark Simpson
I had the fish & chips yesterday. Best I ever had. Am there again today to get the same thing. Their shrimp are the best also! Try it & you'll be back too. Guaranteed!
Catherine Driscoll
My husband and I had a great time! We loved the tuna sushimi and Cajun haddock nuggets! Brian the bartender was fantastic...he made our night!
Damon Rath
The food was ok but shrimp was under cooked. Blackened shrimp was not cooked enough. My fried class were very good. I liked their side salad also.
Amanda Martin
Very cute place, philly cheese steak was amazing, good drinks and a good place to people watch. Our waitress was great, very attentive and good conversation.
Floyd Fitzgerald
I was there on 3/16/18. Excellent food great portions of food ( seafoos sampler an fish sandwich"the bomb")an excellent customer service! The new ownership he's excellent as well. Ive been there 3 times since Ive been in Saint Petersburg an love it everytime I go. Its my favorite place for seafood!
Candy Buchanan
If you like Whole Belly New England Fried Clams THIS is the place to go! It is just a few miles off 275 in St Petersburg on Martin Luther King. They have outdoor and indoor seating, Covid compliant employees and great seafood from appetizers to dinners! I have been going there for decades and love it!
Angela Zamarripa
Great atmosphere, love the open air seating. The clambo is delicious (clam chowder/gumbo), and the drinks and service are fantastic. Bryan is great, fast service and a friendly attitude!
John Phillips III
I tried the buffalo style chicken sandwich based on other reviews. It was ok, certainly not bad. I would have liked it if it was a little saucier and hotter (it was very saucy, but prefer more). It would have also been more enjoyable with some ranch but I got only one visit from the waitress. The half and half (arnold palmer) was VERY GOOD.
They have a nice "casual" outdoor seating area and it's a quaint place. The price was very fair and I'd eat here again after trying a few other places just to mix it up. I'm not rushing back.
Whitney Faulkner
We recently moved here to St Pete and stumbled upon this place! The food is great, atmosphere is amazing and the bartender Bryan made us feel like old friends from the moment we sat down!! Highly recommend!!
Savannah
Great food, drinks, and decent prices (especially the specials and happy hour)! The service is awesome, and the atmosphere is fun. I definitely recommend swinging by for some casual seafood, a good drink, and fun crowd!
melissa hoyt
Bryan is AMAZING! The oysters are delicious!!! You can't beat $1 oysters! Bryan is such a goofball and a great bartender and very personable!! My husband and I will DEFINITELY be back for more oysters and more Bry Bry!!! 😊😊😊😊 …
Cezzario 214
Will definitely recommend this place. Great service n great food. I'm from Dallas just passing thru for work n decided to try it out. I'm glad I did. Great job guys n my waitress ABIGAIL she needs a raise asap.
edward zingg
Seafood was so fresh and delicious. I am from the norteast. A lobster roll in Florida, to die for. Clams were so sweet. Service was so friendly and family like. Take the time to visit and enjoy, you will not be disappointed.
Terri Chu
Servers were super friendly, nice outdoor bar, and the food was great! The fried buffalo shrimp and lobster roll were yummy. If we're ever in the area again, we'll be back!
Kimberly Doss
I've been going to the casual clam for years! I love the local feel and good food! I also always look forward to seeing Bryan who always provides great service and conversation! 😊 …
Gary May
Enjoyed the indoor/outdoor feel. Great location on N. ML King, next to post office. Enjoyed the basket of fried shrimp, chicken wings and fries late afternoon. The beer is cold and margaritas are too!
Sarah M.
The clam was recently purchased and the new owners have done a wonderful job of keeping the old menu as to keep the regulars happy but also sprucing it up quite a bit to entice a new crowd. The food is wonderful, seafood is always fresh, no matter what you order. The clambo is a must-try. A Cajun blend of gumbo and clam chowder. It's delightful!
They have $1 draughts from 11-5 m- f! If you haven't been, stop in & check it out!
Tracy Griffith
Great place but $30 for clams and $20 for lobster roll thats crazy! Will not be going back staff was awesome but the price will not ever pay for clams that were not hardly anything but the breading. Just not worth going back!
Siena wille
We had Dinner here with a party of 10, The service was Excellent, The seafood and Steaks was the Best we have had hands down.The food and Drinks came out quickly with Not one person having an issue.
Thanks to the Casual Clam Staff for being so Accommodating and serving excellent Food and Drinks.
Nancy Civiello
Really good new England style seafood, prices and portions very fair. Casual outdoor dining and great service. Definitely will go back.
Megan Stevenson
What a wonderful spot. Before going I read the reviews. My mother, son and I showed up, and were able to seat ourselves. The waitress, Dawn, arrived just moments later. We already knew wanted clams and ordered 4 dozen steamers with a bowl of Clambo, a kids fried shrimp and fries as well as two cokes and lemonade for my son. Dawn didn’t miss a beat. She told us she was handling a party inside, but we could hardly tell! My mom is from Massachusetts and absolutely loved the outdoor experience while we waited. She said it reminded her of home. The drinks came to us fairly quickly, and the clams arrived about 10-15 minutes later with enough water for cleaning and drawn butter to cleanse a clam army! By the time we were halfway through the clams, the bowl of Clambo, my sons fried shrimp dinner and ice cold cocktail and tarter sauce arrived. Everything was cooked perfectly. The Clambo didn’t ‘look’ fancy. It looked homemade and tasted phenomenal!!!! We finished off the clams, and Dawn whisked the plates away (I love a clean server) as she placed a fresh coke down in front of me. She received our dinner orders before when she delivered the Clambo (lobster roll and red potato salad for mom and crab cake entree for myself with the Mediterranean pasta salad and country style creamy coleslaw), so dinner arrived about 10 minutes later. The crab cakes remind her of how her mom used to make her own crab or salmon cakes. The lobster was fresh and we could tell the sides were freshly made. Thank you for making her birthday nostalgic 🥳
We’ll likely come back every Friday. We want to try the whole menu.
Sarah Curtin
Best clams in the entire Tampa/St. Pete area! Full belly, not strips. A MUST for clam lovers! I love them fried, but full belly steamers too! Delicious homemade potato salad. Excellent friendly service!
shana bennett
Service is a bit slow but it's totally worth the wait. food and drinks are excellent. Awesome environment. My favorite Sunday spot! I have all my friends hooked so thats a testament to it's greatness!
Bobby G
Great atmosphere for a local laid back seafood restaurant. Food was very good! Absolutely will be back on a regular basis.
Camae v
They made my night! I ordered them through bitesquad and forgot to ask for tartar sauce in the special instructions. I start opening the boxes, lo and be hold, one of them has not only tartar sauce, there’s cocktail sauce and lemons! Oh sweet baby Jesus! Ps fish sandwich and fried shrimp are delicious!
Earl
Seat yourself when you arrive. We sat in the indoors room which had poor lighting, because the outside bar allows smokers and my wife is allergic. We ate the all u can eat snow crabs. My 1st plate was fine, but the 2nd plate tasted like they had been boiled in 10 lbs of salt water. The sides suck, except for the hush-puppies. We live near Myrtle Beach, SC so we don't usually complain, but the food was catered to all the Yankee tourist. I felt bad for the wait staff who was either short staffed that night or just needed more help, cause there were only 2 for the whole restaurant. I give them 3 stars for only going 1 time and we'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Amber Torres
Best Oysters and Ipswich Clam Bellies anywhere!
Key Lime 🥧 ✔️
Fried 🍤 ✔️

Not enough good things to say about the food at The Casula Clam! Everything is on point!
Robert Gaddy
The best shrimp tacos ever, seafood platter and fun and friendly service! The outdoor eating area is great and there is always additional parking available when the lot looks full!
Erica Gatlin
Overall really good.
Everything super fresh tasting and hot. Po boy didn’t have much meat but the lobster roll was loaded!
Leland Ross
My husband and I have been coming here for four years. Food and service is excellent. The music leaves a lot to be desired.
penn schlitt
Great food and portions are great for the price. The best part was desert... heaven in a bowl is what she said... peanut butter pie is amazing hands down. Don’t pass this up if you’re in the area!!!
Donald Dettloff
Great place to come! Good food, great service and very reasonably priced! Brian is great! Very personable and a heck of a bartender! Will definitely be back!
Julie Combs
The Casual Clam is one of our FAVORITE spots in St Petersburg! The peel-n-eat shrimp are huge & fresh and made in the most delicious combination of garlic, butter & Old Bay! YUMMO! The servers at The Clam are fantastic too, with BrYan being the best of the best! Just can't go and not have a good time with BrYan behind the bar.
Anthony M
Fun place to grab a drink during happy hour! It may be missing the waves and seagulls but other than that it is a little peace of paradise! Apps are awesome and fresh, drinks are cold and help you forget your worries.
Alex M
Fast attentive service, fresh food. Love the pasta salad. Upside down pineapple cake to die for. Lobster roll like you’re in Maine. Awesome atmosphere and drink selections
Paul Brushwood
This is a great casual seafood restaurant. It definitely has that gulf coast vibe. It's not fancy but the food is delicious. There are other things than seafood on the menu but most of what they serve is fried seafood. If that's what you're in the mood for, It's a great place.
Tyler Branson
Bryan was awesome! Greeted us with a great attitude, makes great margs. Highly recommend this spot. All you eat peel and eat is a must.
michael markson
Bryan the bartender is an absolute delight and consistently goes above and beyond in his wonderful service. We will continue to come here because of his awesomeness!!!
Tammy March
Delicious food, great service! Simply AMAZING! The crab cakes , clams and Cajun shrimp are amazing and those are just a few of the things. Definitely a go to place for amazing seafood!
Geoff Graves
Great little place to get a cold drink and snack on some seafood. They have whole belly clams too.
They have different deals for happy hours etc.
Jane Silverman
I try to schedule a meal at the Casual Clam whenever I am in St. Pete on a Sunday afternoon. My favorite is still the fresh as can be haddock sandwich, a huge portion, grilled to perfection. And don't miss the fried mushroom basket as an appetizer!
Karina Duncanson
I decided to try rhis place one more time as I just found out about new ownership. I was not disappointed as in the past. They turned this place completely around. Great job guys! Carmen was the best bartender as well!
Matthew Benoit
Great food and great outside bar to hang out at to watch Rays or Lightning games. Bryan behind the bar, and the waiting staff have always been friendly and personable.
gabriel soto
Can't say enough about this little neighborhood restaurant. Comfortable atmosphere and a great menu selection. If your a seafood lover, you will have no trouble finding something you'll love.
John Gaddis
Very good food and I'm old south which grrew up the Sea being a large part of my family history. Long line fishing Deep Sea charter, Atlantic Shrimping you name it.... I wouldn't eat there if the food wasn't exceptional....
leroy williams jr
The menu has been shortened due to covic 19. However; the itemsI enjoy when I visit. Have the same great taste. My favorite is the calmbo and the fried shrimp basket.

Food was EXCELLENT. Calamari was the star of the show as the first properly cooked I've had in a long time. An empty beer was met with a full one swiftly by our awesome server Brittney. Will be back soon!

Randall Daugherty
Excellent seafood. Captain's platter was very tasty. Scallops shrimp and haddock makes a good combo. Service was a bit slow due to a large crowd but very friendly👍👍😊 …
Judy Leep
Clam chowder was thick and delicious. Clams in garlic butter were delicious. Beer was cold. Our waitress with the left arm tattoo was attentive and helpful. We will be back!
Alex Nipper
Best tuna tacos I’ve had in a while. Spicy the way I like it and good drinks outside with Vicki. I’ll be back for sure
Conal McLaughlin
Large portions. Shrimps are BIG. All you can eat....grilled shrimp scampi shrimp blackened shrimp breaded shrimp. Insert bubbu gump shrimp meme here. Online Juke box cboose music from phone app. Nice staff. Prices are avg for seafood BUT you get large portions. Wish they had more craft beer tho. EDIT they got Craft beers in bottles.
Daniel Hogan
Good food and friendly wait staff. Seafood is high because of everything that's going on but worth it. Very reasonable beer prices.
chris s
Final went to the Casual Clam - FANTASTIC FOOD PERIOD. Some of the best clams we've ever ate - also the wait staff was very good, as well as the menu selection of seafood platters - this is our new place to eat - wish we would have came here sooner
Merc N
Great atmosphere Casual is the word to describe. Reminds me of The Keys eating shrimps watching the game or just relaxing with a beer listening to music and locals. Staff always friendly
Amanda Norwood
Food was very delicious we tried a little bit of everything. Staff was nice. Place is small so I would probably sit outside next time or take to go.
Carnell Angel
The full belly Ipswich clams are delicious! Kristy is a great server and they have lots of great specials. Not fancy, but great seafood at reasonable prices. I definitely recommend this place!
Frank Payette
Great Food! Outstanding customer service! Appreciate being able to see everyone's smiles! 😃
Sandra was wonderful!
Bob Bumiller
Loves the food and the beer was cold. Black and blue burger barely cooked was excellent with a decent amount of cheese. Very tasty.
Alexandria Anderson
I've been eating here since I was a little kid and the food has always bee great. I will say I personally don't care for the new decorating in comparison with how homey the place used to look, but that's just me.
Scott Bruce
Just found this hidden gem right around the corner from where I live and let me tell you. Bryan our bartender is great and friendly. But is surpassed by their food. So good!!!
Greg Carlile
This is the place to go for real deal New England fried whole belly clams. The service was excellent and the food was great. Will definitely go back again
Elizabeth Sheridan
Almost everything on the menu is delicious, but my favorites are the fish spread, the steak philly, fried shrimp by the half pound, and of course the FRIED LOBSTER TAIL. It is everything you think it will be, so good you don't need butter!!
Jamie Colby
I was born and raised in Massachusetts and grew up on seafood. Since I moved to Florida in 2003 I have not been able to find seafood like back home. My girlfriend came across the Casual Clam online, we drove from New Port Richey to St. Pete to give it a shot, and the first bite of my dinner took me right back to New England. I was instantly a fan, and now will be taking my parents back so they can experience this Amazing little restaurant. Highly recommend trying it if you haven't. Vessy was our server and she was great. A++++
V B
My new favorite seafood restaurant!! I forgot the server's name but she's great and food's awesome!
Pedro E. Pupo
Oh no,
Under New Management.
Blackened Salmon (use to be our regular) was tasty BUT 1/2 the size and 1/2 the thickness...Oh No!
'New Version' sandwich has shredded lettuce vs. leaf?
The Clam Chowder was still good.
Dale Doerr
Excellent bartenders, Sunday is mimosas and bloody marys cheap! $1.00 oysters. Food never disappoints
Tina K
Our first time here and we were pleasantly delighted. Very nice meal and tasty. We'll be back for the all you can eat shrimp !!
Caitlin Richman
Bryan is absolutely amazing! I always have a great time at his outdoor bar and I love the energy. Will definitely come back for his service!
Janelle Spieldenner
Close to the downtown area. $1 domestic drafts till 5pm. Clams and lobster rolls on point! Good market price on oysters. And we didn't break the bank!
Ron Morris
Casual clam is under new ownership and i tried a few items on the menu. Iwas impressed buy the size of the shrimp and taste. Big enough to use for big snook. They have done a few changes and looking foward to the future. Tried shrimp at other places in that area and thats what they where. (Shrimp) Keep up the good work
Jeff White
Food and service was good...but the prices WAY to high ..wont be going there again .To bad the old owner had great food and fair prices but the new owner not so much .
Mick Mitchell
Excellent fried whole belly clams! The fried oysters were Excellent! Friendly service, good atmosphere. The pricing was very reasonable too. A total.find!
pandabradford30
It's a hit or miss weather the food is outstanding or good. Service is fast and friendly
Kim Ciranko
Casual Clam recently changed owners in 2018. Outside bar, TV & dining or inside dining if you prefer. Excellent fried oysters baskets, try the side of cole slaw it's awesome. Casual dining.
Located across the street from the Euclud USPS & Winn-Dixie at the corner of 9th St. N. [MLK] & 34th Ave. N. in St. Petersburg, FL. Recommend.
Stacy Golden, Sr
Wait was long but well worth it! 👌Food and customer service from waitress was great. Definitely coming back again. Daily specials are affordable and food portions are healthy portion. …
Hunter Tura
The hush puppies were amazing the Wings were great everything was good try it some time!
edward conti
Basic seafood with plastic forks. There is no ac that I felt. Could use a cleaning. Prices were more than some bigger restaurants.
Abby Becker
It was decent. Covid has definitely affected service and some of the menu item availability but we had a great time anyway!
Sean Mann
Worst little necks I've ever had. Gritty and plenty of broken shells. Tried the NE steamers and they weren't much better. My wife thought the oysters were good. Fries were like the crappy fries you'd get in HS. Service was good. Broke my tooth!!
Kami Hitchings
Bryan is wonderful and funny! Popcorn shrimp is great. Great atmosphere. Love coming here for a beer!!!
Greg Muller
I love this place!!! Get the seafood platter w/scallops. Tonight I did take out and they forgot to give me a side dish, but I'll eat their again.
Elizabeth Bodine
Took an hour to get food and the order was all messed up fish was missing from my dinner shrimp was missing from the shrimp pasta the waitress was very nice and felt bad our dinner was so messed up.
Joey Sisti
Was hunting for a good local seafood/bar in the area and this place is absolutely delicious! Great food and great drinks!
Dusty Furlong
Good seafood, light batter, whole belly clams. Casual dress & a patio. Entire staff is sweet, friendly & attentive. We plan to return often.
Jim R
Great food. Awesome people. Friendly staff. Good prices. Crab, shrimp and clam basket, seafood platter. All the Best!
Natalie Krul
Bryan is fabulous! Fast service and great food. Loved the shrimp tacos. Great beer prices too!
Amy Able
I have visited this establishment 2x in the past 2 months. I do so wish I could go more often, but life (and small, mean-tempered, people who have a hard time keeping their sitting-parts in seats) have made that a little challenging. I can recommend all the fried seafood and fish as being pretty delicious. I would skip the crab-cakes. I've had them and they are fair (at best), but I am a crab-cake snob (being originally from the coastal Maryland area), so you may decide to risk it. To me, the real HOLY MOLY deliciousness is contained in the spicy (-ish) crab appetizer, the stuffed jalapenos, the potato salad, and the fried shrimp. I love that they have CHEDDAR cheese-stuffed jalapenos and that the batter for the shrimp is thin and flavorful without being over-spiced and/or fluffy. I HATE it when you have to play hide-and-seek with over-battered food. Fried food should have a thin, crispy shell, not a pancake layer so thick that you have no idea if the original item is in there at all!
Other nice things: the food arrives so frickin' fast that I feel like there might be magic involved. Those small, grumpy people (of whom I wrote earlier) barely had time to scribble colors on their place-mats (let alone all other available surfaces) before our super-delicious, crispy offerings arrived.
I would rate this joint 8/10 for food (as a seafood shack), 9.5/10 for service (only because certain people have led me to believe that perfection is absolutely impossible), and 6.5/10 for setting/decor (inside seating is very limited and it's effin' HOT in Florida).
Matty PR.
If you like spicy, have to get their gumbo! large portions for fair price, all you can eat shrimp daily with two sides, and seasonally all you can eat snow crab legs with two sides, at a very reasonable price.
Red Signorelli
Great eating environment and good service... Only thing is I love oysters and I ordered them and they absolutely had no taste . it was like I had to choke them down but the shrimp is great.
Kevin McCarthy
Pretty good food. A really nice atmosphere. And the help was good too. It was a little pricey though for what they were giving you.

We had two meals here the last week or so. Both were great. The Lobster Roll was fantastic.

All you can eat shrimp blackened, and scampi, old Bay butter, fried, cold, how ever you want it was fantastic with BIG shrimp. Honestly the best seafood with HUGE portions for THE BEST prices around.

Average experience. Food was ok, if a bit pricey. Atmosphere was open air/beachy. Staff was cordial. I'd come back for a few beer and the chowder.

New England seafood at its best.i had almost given up on finding anything even close to an acceptable Fried Clam plate or a Lobster roll here in Florida.The food at the Casual Clam is a pleasant surprise.All the fried dishes,Clams,Scallops,haddock,etc are cooked to perfection and the helpings are generous to say the least.The haddock nuggets are to die for and are reasonably priced.I have stopped here before going to the ball game many times in the past 4 or 5 years and have never been disappointed.Highly recommend.

Great place. Skip the Shrimp Store. See Pat at the bar. Great staffer. Embrace the Clam !!!

Ok, but something has changed over the years. The fried food batter has changed and expensive. I am sorry to say I don't feel the value is there.
