    Fish plate w fries and Cole slaw
    Deb D.

    Dined here for Fathers Day lunch. Arrived around 1:45 pm. Parking challenges this day but found a spot in the residential area just a ways down. Small parking area at the restaurant Rustic very casual spot. Haven't been here in years but it remains the same and nostalgic. It was packed on this beautiful day, weather was perfect for grabbing a seat on the front patio for ocean views but no such luck It's first come first serve for seating. There is also seating in the back w a full bar. Live music started around 5 when we were leaving, wish it started earlier! The guitarist was good! The line to order inside went pretty quick. It was the wait that was long, over an hour. All seating, front back or inside is pot luck, and a bit stressful when u are hungry, know u have an hour wait and people are hanging around waiting to grab a table as someone leaves. It's too bad they don't have a hostess working the seating on holidays, that would be ideal. But we grabbed a couple drinks. I kept a lookout in the back and my daughter stayed up front, and we texted if we got lucky. We ended up out back at a table w an umbrella and enjoyed the frozen pina colada's which were fantastic. Let's face it, it's expensive for fried clams and fish, if you want quality. It was delicious for sure, but would have liked more clams on the plate. Clams were tender and fried just right, not heavy. So good! There were yummy fries and great Cole slaw. I think there were about 12 clams. Nice sized bellies, but thought there would be more considering the cost of the plate. Fish was fresh and a fair portion. Enjoyed our afternoon and would go back again but probably not at a peak time to alleviate the wait. And to also try and get a seat on the waterfront.

    I come here a lot, but today was a pretty good time. Beautiful weather, good seafood, cold brew, and some of the best customer service I've had here so far. Gary is pretty cool- I was well taken care of. And Patrick was kind and patient even while dealing with the crowd and register issues. Even the playlist was alright- I knew a few songs that were played. A nice lil mix. I've been living in this neighborhood for 20 years now and for the first time in a long time, it actually felt welcoming.

    I landed at Logan, jumped into a Hertz rental, then jetted directly to Tony's. The clam chowdah. So thick, and creamy, and clammy. The way it is supposed to be. Large boatload of fat belly clams. Crispy, crunchy, and not greasy. The best and largest lobster rolls on earth. Tony I love you. I ate your food and now I can go back home a happy man.

    Little restaurant across the street from water, encompasses the beach feel with ocean cuisine. Right when we walked in it was standing room only, the place was crowded! Granted it was a Sunday and the weather was great. Menu offered a lot of fried options. We ordered the fish, scallops, calamari and clam bellies for fried options. The lobster roll and clam chowder.. all of it came to $160. A little pricey for the quality of food. Lobster roll was really good! And clam chowder delicious. Which the sandwich was a little bigger, but it is what it is. Overall, the experience was a 3.7 out of 5.

    Seafood Plate &  Clams

    This place has amazing fried seafood that's a perfect for a nice summer day. Ordered the seafood platter and fried clam box as well and it was amazing quality fried seafood that's hit the spot and my craving. The restaurant has a decent amount of indoor searing and patio seating with umbrellas where a lot of people choose to sit to view the beach and water nearby. The menu is pretty vast with a lot of different seafood and comfort options. They also have a large drink menu as well and additional seating in the back. I have been here a couple times and it never disappoints. Looking forward to coming back in the future next summer.

    Good Food, good location It's a nice causal seafood restaurant with other offerings as well as some Mediterranean specialties. It's an order at the counter restaurant with open seating. If the weather is nice, you can sit outside. Tony's does have a nice view of the water and the Boston skyline. You can't go to Quincy without a drive down Wollaston Blvd., and you can't drive down Wollaston Blvd. without seeing and ultimately stopping at Tony's Clam Shop. Fried Clams, Fried Scallops, Onion Rings, all top o' the line! TIP: Fried Scallops regular order - you won't believe how many sea scallops you'll get, probably a dozen. Ridiculous, so worth the 30 bucks. You couldn't buy them at the seafood store for that price. Thanks

    Tony's Clam Shop is a such a gem in Quincy! Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot to hit up in the summer for some yummy, fresh fried seafood platters, or even just a raspberry lime rickey haha. I love getting clam bellies whenever I get fried seafood! We also enjoy getting a seafood platter, typically with scallops & clam strips. When we visited Tony's the other day, we ordered both platters & opted for onion rings for our sides. What we ordered & prices: -clam plate (w/ bellies) $39.20 -seafood combo plate (w/ scallop + clam strips) $41.20 -2 large raspberry lime Rickeys $14.30 Their raspberry lime rickey is sooo good! I guess nowadays they charge ~$7.15 each for a large but definitely a must if you love raspberry lime rickeys like we do! Everything was fresh... scallops were HUGE the day that we went & very delicious. Ordering is pretty quick & easy; line inside with two cashiers. They give a buzzer to let you know when it's ready to go inside to pick up your order. Parking: they have their own parking lot that you can pull into but definitely be careful when pulling in if you have a sedan because a lot of people end up scraping the front of their cars entering/exiting. There are free parking spots across the street by the beach, as well. Happy eating!

    Loved the fried seafood here and have been here a few times. We got the seafood plate on this last visit though. My favorite in there was the scallops, so maybe I should get that separately next time! The shrimp was a good size too. The slaw was a little heavy on the dressing for me, wish it was lighter. Would love to try a lobster roll, but it's a bit pricey compared to other lobster rolls that I like already. There's indoors and outdoors seating and the food came out quick enough, which we appreciated.

    Scallops and fries, overcooked, burnt taste.
    Glenn F.

    What a huge disappointment. Went last night, over 200 dollar bill for me and my family on my visit back home. We always go here, but last night The food was terrible, including one of my usual favorites, scallops. Over cooked, not fresh, burnt taste. The whole clams also were not good. If I didn't know better I would say it was frozen and oil was burnt, but I do not know for sure why it was so bad. Literally my whole family, 6 of us, did not like the food, honestly we should have sent it back, got our money back, and left. Not sure if it is under new management, or just too early in The season, but was not good.

    Clam strip and scallop plate + onion rings
    Chris T.

    A local staple in quincy! I prefer Tony's mainly for their raspberry lime Ricky in a jumbo cup! Always a must for me with any Tony's fried seafood meal. We went on one of the first hot days this summer mid day, light traffic, plenty of outdoor seating before the dinner rush. 2 platters ordered: + Scallop and clam strip plate with onion rings! Scallops are larger style (not necessarily jumbo) and clam strips fried perfectly. + full clam belly plate with onion rings! Juicy! Now, i do wish the fried seafood out here seasoned their batter, but Tony's has condiments for every flavor needed. Salt, pepper ketchup, tartar, mayo, siracha, franks red hot etc. without condiments it would be too bland for me. It's always cooked real well. For the price they do give you the pile and you'll be full. Other spots would give you HUGE scallops or clam belly's, charge same price but you only get 4-5 pieces on top of French fries. Again always a favorite for the summer pop in. Chill by the cool breeze of the beach and soak in the day. Weekends get crazy out here and the place gets packed, so we usually hit it mid-week if possible!

    After reading an article that Tony's Clam Shop had some of the best whole belly clams in New England, I drove the hot rod over two hours to find out... Quincy, Massachusetts is on the South Shore of Boston, well known for seafood. Tony's Clam Shop does not disappoint. I loved ordering at the counter, given a pager, and then the pager goes off when the order is ready. You pick up your food and you go sit either in the dining area or outside street side overlooking the Harbor. I put in the order for only whole belly clams, a medium box, for $41. I also ordered a fountain drink. Within 10 minutes my order was ready. Now that I'm a senior and I've been around the block a few times, my love for whole belly clams is deep, and these were some of the best whole belly clams I've ever had. Almost like they were flashed fried, you could taste the freshness with each bite. I think these clams were harvested across the street, in the ocean about an hour before they were cooked for me, but who am I to judge! The accompanying tartar sauce seemed homemade and on point. If you are on the South Shore of Boston, this has to be a stop. The service was friendly, parking was easy peezy, and the trip through Boston was really nice. Quincy, Massachusetts is just beautiful. I think I could've sat at my outdoor table all afternoon just taking in the sites. This was a wonderful experience.

    I had Tony's clam strips back to back with a competitor's clam down the street and Tony's is, once again, the clear winner.

    My fiance and I have been dying to try Tony's and wow it did not disappoint! While the food is a little pricey the portions are huge, and we both got the fish and chips which was really good. They have a nice outdoor backyard space with a full bar and live music. The staff is friendly and it's overall a really fun dining experience. Will definitely be going back to try more of their menu!!

My wife was looking for a vegetarian-friendly spot, and this place had great ratings, so we gave it a shot. I went with the Philly Cheesesteak, and I definitely enjoyed it. Was it the best I've ever had? Nah. But it was flavorful, well-cooked, and disappeared pretty quickly. I will say, a little more cheese would've taken it from a 7 to a 9 for me. The real star of the show though? The loaded fries. Crispy fries with a generous topping that made every bite hit. Easily my favorite part of the meal. Food-wise, no complaints. The reason I'm landing at 4 stars is the customer service. It wasn't bad by any means, but there's something about walking up to the counter, saying hello, and just getting a silent stare back that throws off the vibe a bit. Maybe I'm just morphing into an old man, but a quick greeting goes a long way. That said, it didn't ruin the experience. I've got another Boston trip coming up, and I'll probably swing back to try something else. Definitely worth checking out, whether you're vegetarian or just like good food.

    Great food, great sides, huge portions…read more Falafel is fantastic. The only thing is their online menu and in house menu says lamb is an option, but all of the online ordering options do not include lamb. Just chicken, falafel, veggie, or kafta (which might have some lamb amongst the ground beef but it didn't seem like it) Just would have loved some dripping sliced lamb but I know it's not always traditionally served like that -- their opening said Vegetarian Combo Plate with Lamb and I wanted it. Oh well. Anyway fantastic shawarma chicken, great kafta and surprisingly perfect falafel (crispy but moist and full of flavor) Vegetarian Combo Plate with Kafta Served with Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Tabouli, Salad, 2 Falafel and 2 Grape Leaves - so...much...good food.
