My husband and I got the mussels and oysters, and they were both amazing 👏😋! Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. A somewhat hidden gem that won't disappoint.

Awesome little place near the beach. Loved the beer battered shrimp, hubby had the steak sandwich and my son had the cheeseburger. Fresh food not frozen. Glad we found this restaurant, much better than AMOB in my opinion

5 star bar food at its finest!!! This hidden gem is nestled in a small, unassuming strip mall. It was obvious this was a favorite of the locals when we walked in. The atmosphere is low-key and everyone is very friendly. We started with homemade potato chips with clam dip and crab balls. The service was great, and the appetizers were delicious. The ribs and bacon cheese burger were amazing!!! The burger was the best I ever had. The meat is custom ground with smoked bacon added for flavor. We will be coming back every time we are in the area for sure!

I've been wining and dining at the Clam Factory for six years! Not only do they have a wide selection of amazing cocktails and beer, the food IS AMAZING!!! I have eaten almost everything, more than once, and NEVER had a bad experience. Think you need a fancy, expensive steak, at some ritzy dining restaurant? Think again! Clam has steak night, EVERY Saturday night! SO damn good! Doubting yourself because it's coming from a bar? Think again! I'd much rather sit in the company of amazing staff and friends for way less than half the cost. More importantly, the bar staff have all been there for years+. Not only are you getting amazing food and drinks, but you're being greeted with amazing, familiar, and known faces and smiles, each, and every time you come in. I almost forgot-they also entertain you with live entertainment/musicians as well!

After driving past them on several beach excursions, we decided to stop today for dinner. We had a great experience but be advised that they have a summer menu so several items off their online menu like the brisket pastrami sandwich and fried oysters were not available.
We tried both their blackened grouper sandwich and blackened fish taco’s, both substancial portions and delicious. The grouper fillet was nice sized, tasted fresh and priced nicely at $21. The bun was slightly toasted and the fries seemed hand cut and seasoned.
The blackened fish tacos (3) were nicely seasoned, slightly spicy with fresh ingrediants.
The service and server, Victoria, were great and our wait once we ordered was not long. Overall, we enjoyed it alot and will visit again soon.

A small out of the way little place. Food was great, waitress was sweet. We went mid day, was not busy. Was more of a bar atmosphere. We enjoyed it!

Love this place! The Cortez Clam Factory is a great little local sports bar with awesome food. The Famous Crabby Balls and fish tacos are fire!! The blackened chicken sandwich and smoked wings are also amazing. We’re never had a bad meal.
