    clam shells in a brown paper bag
    Frank W.

    No place beats Blacky's! Always a must stop when going down to LBI. Best clams for the best price

    Don't be thrown off by the fact that it's actually a shack! The clams are amazing and the best I've had in the area - won't get them at home anymore - there is no comparison! We have grilled ours and they're just wonderful. Different sizes to choose from, all depends on your preference. Prices are really reasonable and looking forward to some soon. Go grab some today!

    Fresh fresh fresh local raw clams. Friendly service and the cutest stand. Only downside is parking which is tight.

    Do they only accept cash?

    My husband says he's never seen anyone pay with credit cards. He pays cash only as well

We stopped in here last night, luckily kind of early because by the time we left they were packed. I've always loved this place for their clams...always amazing and fresh. I will say that their wait in menu is a bit pricey, but you're paying LBI prices so just expect it. We had a party of five last night and the food was delicious. Wifey had a fried flounder sandwich that was too much for her (so I got about 1/3 of her filet!), but she loved it. I had the premium crab cakes and started with a dozen little necks. The little necks were really small so I was a little disappointed in the serving size, but the crab cakes with fries and 1/2 a corn on the cob filled me up. My son and daughter's boyfriend both had salmon and my daughter had garlic Parmesan shrimp and pasta. Always a delicious meal!

    I had the most amazing out of body moment eating the steamers here today. As a kid my grandparents…read morelived in New Suffolk way east on the North fork of Long Island and we used to go in the morning and get the steamer clams off bay for dinner. We could eat literally more than a couple of dozen each for dinner. Nothing was fresher. Today I had steamer clams here that brought me right back to grandma's table! They were so incredibly tender (stems and all), sweet and fresh. For anyone who is not a fan, I can't describe them. For anyone who is, I implore you --- take a ride and eat those steamer clams. They come in a bucket to go. But they will make you a third for an order to eat in. I had two orders. I could have eaten 3! With the melted butter and the broth for dipping it was sheer heaven. I am a happy person today.

There was one guy playing guitar music, not too loud, which made the atmosphere cozy. They have a great cocktail list if you want to try something new. The wedge salad was large and had a twist- it had a different type of dressing, crispy onion on top, and traditional blue cheese crumbles. The cheese steak comes with thick-cut fries, and the crab cake main had coleslaw on the side, which was crisp and served with a light dressing. Looking forward to dining again soon.

I was even less impressed than I have been before the pasta dish. My wife had was tasteless. My crabcakes were all filler without much crab, a duck dish, one of my guests ordered was much too salty service was somewhat slow, but our server was very pleasantn my check was $329 plus a m$82 tip . I usually over tip. This is not a bad price for a moderate plus restaurant of which this is not. I've loften noted that the restaurant scene neon Long Beach Island is appropriate for seashore Island that has tourist customers that will not be back for a second time, Arlington is one of these, reading another review of this restaurant I can only guess that most of these people are not used to eating in better restaurants Next time I'm on the island ll eat at home
