The Happy Clam - Fredericksburg

This place is amazing! it is worth driving from dc! everything is fresh, service is great and best is that they can buy their fresh seafood and take home! fed garnels to start is the best option, but they can go wrong with nothing in the menu! I think about coming back!

Excellent excellent restaurant! Service was excellent, food tasted like good home cooking. Food was very fresh. Crab dip, steamed spiced shrimps, fried scallops, hush puppies were excellent! Price very reasonable. Definitely coming back and this will be one of the places I take my friends and family when they visit.

The service and food is wonderful and DELICIOUS! We had shrimp cocktail as appetizer. Eight very large shrimp great for two people. Also, recommend the crab cake sandwich which comes with 2 sides. Crab lumps in the sandwich very minimal fillers. WONDERFUL! Our go to restaurant for lunch dinner. Not a fancy upscale type of restaurant. FOOD IS DELICIOUS!

Friend was good, but was told by locals that baked was the way to go. Also sell fresh seafood.

The crab dip is a must have, served burn the roof of your mouth hot with warm bread, very delicious. I haven 't tasted any other dip this good, you have to eat it hot once cooled it 's a firm NO. The desserts were yummy, the German Chocolate is my favorite followed by the Key Lime Pie. Now to the entrees, I was less impressed with the majority of the items, scallops were great, hush puppies are thick and tasty. That is all that stood out, everything else was similar to other seafood establishments. I will go back for the dip and get the dessert to go.
