We went to the Clam as a party of 8 for my kids bday. It was awesome. Apps, entrees, drinks, and service were all excellent. Delco landmark!!!

According to some friends, the Clam Tavern has been a neighborhood staple in Media, PA for 50 years. Famous for its baked clams, this place was packed on a Sunday night! This is a family owned restaurant and serves dishes, family style. With dishes so flavorful you will not leave hungry. I have been here twice in the past month and can't wait to come back!

So glad we made this impromptu stop. We were immediately greeted with kind smiles and quickly sat at the bartop as we requested. The baked clams were hot and delicious. The perfect light appetizer before our entrees. The lobster ravioli topped with crab was served hot and aldente. I tried my companion's crab imperial stuffed flounder and it was equally delicious. Each staff member was friendly and the owner was genuinely vested in ensuring we had a great visit. I'm only sad I don't live closer to be able to enjoy this meal more often!

You can't go wrong with the Clam Tavern. This is a place that as soon as you walk in you feel like you're stepping back in time with the comfortable atmosphere. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. The food is consistently fantastic and there is really nothing on the menu that will disappoint.

Food was excellent as always. Got the filet this time - cut like butter. Definitely recommend getting it oscar style it was delicious!

For some reason I always forget about this gem. Every time I come to the Clam Tavern I am amazed how delicious their food is. Baked clams a must. Love Clam Taverns specials 6 0z. Lobster, Filet with sundries tomatoes in a marsla wine sauce & Ribeye.

I've had this spot bookmarked for years and finally I made it. Parking can be tricky but I got lucky with a spot. You walk in and your hit with the beautiful smells of garlic, herbs and seafood. No fishy scent at all but a welcoming savory scent pulls you in. I sat at the bar which had a beautiful copper counter top. Staff was super friendly and attentive. I ordered a half dozen of raw oysters which were divine as well as their baked clams. The bread was perfect to sop up the yummy crab juice in the shells filled with herbs and garlic. Not overly breaded so you really enjoy the fresh clams. I also ordered to take home a seafood soup and the halibut sandwich which I got fried or you can get broiled. It came with coleslaw, fries and lettuce and tomatoes and a yummy wasabi mayo type sauce. The piece of the mahi mahi was twice the size of the bun and for $13.99 you can't go wrong. Fried are dusted with old bay and na nice crisp. Nothing overly oily at all and all well seasoned. I foresee myself being a regular here!

Solid meal every time I go here, Such great specials, awesome service and nautical vibes. The prices are great for seafood! Last time I went I got an angel hair pasta with shrimp and crab meat in this amazing Cajun sauce. Can't wait to go back!

Finally getting around to write a review of this great spot! Warm and cozy atmosphere decorated in ship theme. I always say I'm going to try something new and different but I'm mildly obsessed with the filet special that comes with jumbo lump crab, sundried tomatoes, and mushrooms in a Marsala sauce. It is addictive and should leave you with leftovers the next day. Baked clams as an app are a must. You can't go wrong with anything on this menu! Make sure to make a reservation and leave enough time to find parking.

I came here with my family who live in the area to celebrate being together. I had wanted to come here for a couple of years but never had enough time to. We came in on a Monday evening and the place was packed I realized this place was popular among the locals so I had made reservations so we did not have to wait to get a table. Walking in this place reminded me of an old school supper club. There was a bar and more than one room with tables. My group sat in the main area. We ordered a range of food from crab balls to clams casino for appetizers and steak, Chilean sea bass, flounder, lobster and lobster ravioli. I had the broiled flounder which was cooked perfectly but was under seasoned. I took a bite of the sea bass and it was my favorite thing and I wished my flounder had the same seasoning on it. I almost forgot the clam chowder I had to get extra to go because it was so delicious. Overall we all left happy and I'd stop in again. FYI this place is in a neighborhood that doesn't have a bunch of street parking but just a block away there is a huge parking lot that you can use.
