Blount Clam Shack On The Waterfront

Both my husband and myself are natives to this your. Our yearly trip home has to include Clam Cakes, Fried Clams, and steamers. (not to mention Hot Weiners). The taste will never get old. I like buying the frozen soup to take back with us. I buy the soup here at grocery stores, but their prices are way out of line. Down here we have nearly 350 restaurants. The seafood ones are in Murrels Inlet. We have been looking for clams in any way or form in food. Ther is no way that any restaurant, we have tried, could compare to your delicious foods. Only ONE restaurant has fried clams with the belly. If the shipment comes in it will be on Thursdays. By 11:00 people who know are waiting outside for clams. By the end of Lunch time all the clams are gone. The other two restaurants just have clam strips or steamers. UGH The New England taste is just not there. Stay as you are when you know you got something good. See you in June

Would not come here if it was the last place for clam cakes. Not that they weren't good, but the god forbidden line just to order. It's absurd. They have ropes to wind you around on single file in the heat for at least an hour. Just to then have a meal you've waited and sweat for, under a tent. It's all outside, granted the water is there and it's a nice view but I'm still hot from the hour long line wait. But, while you wait though you get to hear a middle aged white man playing guitar, if that's your fancy. I'd rather just listen to the dad rock yacht club station on my Spotify. Overall, I'd rather pay twice as much to wait and sit inside for food that's half as shitty, because the environment this establishment offers is just not worth it to me. The best thing about this place for an out of towner, was the classic plastic puck they provide, to let you know when your meal is ready. Overall, just not worth it.

I love Blount! They have delicious, fresh seafood, amazing soups and fresh and frozen foods. It is my favorite Clam Shack on the East Bay Whole Belly Clam Roll on a grilled bun with clam fritters and clam chowder. Shrimp Wrap- fried shrimp with lettuce, fresh salsa, Kick 'N 'Bayou sauce. The fried shrimp wrap was delicious. The fried shrimp was fried lightly and you could still taste the shrimp. The sauce was a nice kick too but it wasn 't too spicy, just a nice kick. The wrap was crispy and had a great crunch with the freshness of the salsa. I usually get the lobster roll here, but I really wanted those whole belly clams The whole belly clam roll was delicious! Very nicely fried, it was light and you could still taste those clams. I added a little Tatar sauce to the roll and a little lemon for freshness. The clam fritters are delicious with chunks of clams in the fritter. And when you dunk the fritters in the clam chowder that clam taste really pops out!! I really enjoyed this roll and it was a perfect way to end a Summer Weekend

Got to come here before they close for the season, usually on my annual visit to New England. We came on a Saturday afternoon and there wasn't a line. Lots of people though but you can find a table with an umbrella for shade. My friend advised me to get the 1 pound lobster roll (Giant with dill, cost about $36. The amount they give you is amazing. (Well you pay for it. The lobster had a light seasoning and needed a tad bit more salt or lemon. It was still good in my opinion. My friends who come here all the time said their flavoring was lacking a little and missing the pickle. I guess when you don't know, its all good. The slaw was a nice complement. I was still satisfied with my lobster roll and my clam chowder! Delicious.

Amazing lobster roll, cole slaw (which wasn 't really slaw, but great) and clam strips (hush puppies). I consumed the giant, lobster!! What a delicious meal and roll. Not much mayo and spices which was great with huge chunks of claw meat. Coleslaw which was good was almost more of a small container of salad made from broccoli. The clam strips were okay hush puppies but not over the top. The beer was ehh, not a quality beer compared to food. They need a better selection from micro brewery 's near by. Great location on the water and plenty of seating. While it may have open at 11:30 there was already a line 15 deep. I do recommend for lunch or dinner.
