Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Great place to eat! We stayed in Brookings and wanted local, this place is it! The Fresh Haddock was excellent! The fried scallops were large and great flavor! The Fried Calamari might have been the best we have ever had, large meaty pieces that you never get in regular restaurants. Fries and coleslaw were great. Sate outside and really enjoyed it!"
"This is the spot. I love the clam chowder! The fish is always so fresh. If you’re lucky enough to sit outside on a nice day, that’s where it’s at! Nothing like a calm sea breeze, the seabirds cawing and good company. Such a cute tiny location."
"Walk up and order. Gluten free fish and chips If you don't do the breading on the fish.... We'll was good anyway. Prices okay for the area. Knew about gluten free. Seating inside."
"Yummy Yummy in your tummy! Whenever we come to the coast … the Hungry Clam is where we get our Clam Chowder fix … it never fails! Absolutely delicious and the staff are always friendly! Stop by, your tummy will thank you for it!"
"Be prepared to wait and wait and wait some more to get your food. I was told it was going to be 30 minutes to get my food. It was over an hour. Our food was overall good. Clam chowder, I've had better. The fried clams were excellent, I must say. The fish was very bland. Would I come here again, probably not because of how long you would have to wait to get the food. Btw, staff was very nice."
"We went on a Sunday and there was definitely a line, but the only other place I know that serves Clam Chowder in a Sourdough Bread bowl, is located in Crescent City, California. We sat inside after ordering our meals and it was maybe a 10 minute wait before they brought out our food. But the Clam Chowder is Great! Very Rich and creamy and I got full before I even reached the bottom."
"Walk up counter to order your food. The claim chowder was good. My husband liked the fish tacos. The crab melt was enjoyed by my friend. The fish and chips looked delicious. My friend had them. I will be ordering them next time."
"This place is bustling at lunch time! If you’re looking for fried fish food on the water, this will scratch the itch. Very tasty, friendly staff, and great location. I ordered the combo to try a bit of everything. There may be a wait at peak hours so call ahead or plan accordingly."
