Smitty's Clam Bar: Your Go-To Spot for Fresh Seafood Delights in Somers Point, NJ

Always on the list of must haves when we are down the shore. Expect to wait at least an hour. It’s a BYOB so you can hang in the parking lot overlooking the bay while you wait with a cold one. Rotating specials menu. Great meals. No A/C so it can be a little warm but that adds to the atmosphere. Cash only.

I look forward to Smitty’s Clam Bar every summer. The whole family loves it and it’s just truly a no frills, great food, place. Just good quality seafood and always friendly, and very fast service. We love to bring a couple beers, enjoy some great seafood and enjoy the bay in the background.

1st time here. We'd heard a lot about it. All positive! The first thing I will tell you is that they are only open from 4:30 -9:30 PM and they're closed on Tuesdays. The second thing I will tell you is that they are perpetually packed! It is not at all uncommon for there to be a two hour wait. You can try the outdoor counter seating but that is packed as well. Parking is also something of an issue. The staff is amazing! Everyone had a smile and was very nice. Super efficient! It's controlled chaos for sure. I ordered a bowl of New England clam chowder that was delicious! The main course was fried shrimp and french fries. Both were excellent. I spoke to people who said they'd been coming here for 45 years and that everything they serve is wonderful. The prices are also very reasonable. All in all, 4 stars. One star off for the wait time and parking.

Excellent experience. A beautiful evening by the water. BYOB and expect tonsit and relax for an hour outside with your family and friends before eating. Well known landmark for many years. Casual attire, relaxed atmosphere. Eat in or outside and the counter.great cod bite appetizers, and seafood over pasta. We all had something different...all very tasty

This place is honestly great! The staff were so friendly and the food was so fresh and fast! The French fries are probably the best I’ve ever had! The prices were fair and this was a wonderful dinner! Can’t wait to come back!

It's our traditional 1st visit of the season! It's the casual, laid back, vibe with good fresh seafood that does it for us! Love seeing the latest artistic drawings of the menus by local children who come to eat at the restaurant. We loved our usuals, served very hot & fresh every time. All the servers are friendly & quick to get the food out hot. We'll be seeing ya soon! (BYOB)

A must at the shore if you love seafood. The counter is first come, first served. If you want to sit inside, go all the way to the back of the left side of the building to the hostess booth. And stay on the water to be called. Cash only. They have a gluten free menu as well.

If you’re looking for a place to eat in the Somers Point/Ocean City area this is the place to go! The food is amazing. If you’re a seafood lover you’ll be in heaven. Fresh seafood all the time. The food and service is amazing and everyone working there is the best! If you can’t get a seat inside since the wait will most likely be an hour or two, I would recommend doing take out. Their take out service is fast an easy and food is still just as great as it is there. Also if someone with you isn’t a seafood person, they have some of the best chicken fingers and also have a great cheese steak and pizza steak! (just a little tip).
