Cool seafood restaurant in the harbor. We had a late dinner and enjoyed our meal. We ordered the fish and chips, chowder, and... shrimp po’boy. The oyster shooters were good with decent price. The chowder was definitely loaded and had good flavor. Theshrimp po’boy was huge and delicious. The sauce was flavorful! The fish and chips tasted great just a tad too greasy. Ourwaitress was very nice and attentive. Read more

The Hungry Clam was closed. Went here instead. Best choice ever! Everything was hot, crispy and cooked perfectly! The wife is... born and raised in England and said the fish and chips were amazing. Our new choice for seafood in Brookings! Read more

This place was a hit. It gets really busy. We waited at least 20 minutes for our order but all worth it. We order the Sourdough... bowl chowder and the shrimp & Chips. Both delicious. Staff were friendly. Read more

Solid Fish and Chips! B/C the Hungry clam is always closed it’s harder to get fish and chips quickly. First time eating here.... They were so busy (2pm, weekday) they would not answer the phone and do not take phone orders. The wait staff is workingovertime and it took me at least 15 minutes to get my order taken. It was worth it however. The fish, that is the rock cod wascooked perfectly. It met the three F’s -fresh, flavorful and flaky. The tartar sauce was pedestrian and the french fries wereabout average. The portion size was good. The fish carried the meal so I’d say an A-. $16, the going rate. Yes I would eatthere again! Read more

This restaurant is the hidden gem of Brookings. The atmosphere was lively, has a hometown look and freshness. You might miss,... because it's not on the main road. If you are looking for the best clam chowder, creamy deliciousness this is the place. The(cod or rock fish) fish and chips not greasy, crispy hot and flavorful with the chowder on the side is a hit. The calamari was amouthful of wonderful. Read more

Got the clam chowder bread bowl, cheeseburger basket, and fish and chips. Great clam chowder very thick, I have no idea what... they put in it but it tasted good. Pretty good bread. I wish the serving size was larger. The fries were so great. They wereseasoned and on the skinnier side and just right. Addicting. Cheeseburger was alright it kind of tasted burnt? Also smelledburnt when you walked in. Fish and chips was fresh but because of that it was oily and greasy, but was still really tasty. Theyhad mason jars for water cups really cute. Service was very friendly and kind. Overall a great meal. Read more
