      I really enjoyed my time at Blount Clam Shack. The employees were extremely kind and offered suggestions.
      When we arrived around 3:00pm on a Monday, there was more than enough parking and it was not crowded. There was a great amount of seating as well. All tables were clean and the property is well maintained.
      Our food came out in about 5 minutes. We ordered a small Lobster Roll with Sweet Potato Fries and Coleslaw and a Giant Lobster Roll with Chowder and Coleslaw. We also got a side of fresh fruit. Our total was around $85.00.
      The Lobster Rolls were packed full of an immense amount of lobster, which was smothered in butter. The Chowder had a generous amount of cubed potatoes and clams.
      If I lived in the area, I would be going back!

      Would not come here if it was the last place for clam cakes. Not that they weren't good, but the god forbidden line just to order. It's absurd. They have ropes to wind you around on single file -- in the heat for at least an hour. Just to then have a meal you've waited and sweat for, under a tent. It's all outside, granted the water is there and it's a nice view but I'm still hot from the hour long line wait. But, while you wait though you get to hear a middle aged white man playing guitar, if that's your fancy. I'd rather just listen to the dad rock yacht club station on my Spotify. Overall, I'd rather pay twice as much to wait and sit inside for food that's half as shitty, because the environment this establishment offers is just not worth it to me. The best thing about this place for an out of towner, was the classic plastic puck they provide, to let you know when your meal is ready.

      Overall, just not worth it.

      I love Blount! They have delicious, fresh seafood, amazing soups and fresh and frozen foods. It is my favorite Clam Shack on the East Bay

      Whole Belly Clam Roll on a grilled bun with clam fritters and clam chowder.

      Shrimp Wrap- fried shrimp with lettuce, fresh salsa, Kick 'N'Bayou sauce.

      The fried shrimp wrap was delicious. The fried shrimp was fried lightly and you could still taste the shrimp. The sauce was a nice kick too but it wasn't too spicy, just a nice kick. The wrap was crispy and had a great crunch with the freshness of the salsa. I usually get the lobster roll here, but I really wanted those whole belly clams

      The whole belly clam roll was delicious! Very nicely fried, it was light and you could still taste those clams. I added a little Tatar sauce to the roll and a little lemon for freshness. The clam fritters are delicious with chunks of clams in the fritter. And when you dunk the fritters in the clam chowder that clam taste really pops out!! I really enjoyed this roll and it was a perfect way to end a Summer Weekend

      If you see this food truck definitely give it a try. This was insanely delicious! Chowder was fresh, steamy hot and was packed with clams. My fiancé also had the New England chowder and loved it. I would definitely be coming back

      Got to come here before they close for the season, usually on my annual visit to New England. We came on a Saturday afternoon and there wasn't a line. Lots of people though but you can find a table with an umbrella for shade.

      My friend advised me to get the 1 pound lobster roll (Giant) with dill, cost about $36. The amount they give you is amazing. (Well you pay for it.) The lobster had a light seasoning and needed a tad bit more salt or lemon. It was still good in my opinion. My friends who come here all the time said their flavoring was lacking a little and missing the pickle. I guess when you don't know, its all good. The slaw was a nice complement. I was still satisfied with my lobster roll and my clam chowder! Delicious.

      Amazing lobster roll, cole slaw (which wasn't really slaw, but great) and clam strips (hush puppies). I consumed the giant, lobster!!
      What a delicious meal and roll. Not much mayo and spices which was great with huge chunks of claw meat. "Coleslaw" which was good was almost more of a small container of salad made from broccoli. The clam strips were okay hush puppies but not over the top. The beer was ehh, not a quality beer compared to food. They need a better selection from micro brewery's near by.
      Great location on the water and plenty of seating. While it may have open at 11:30 there was already a line 15 deep. I do recommend for lunch or dinner.

      Can't believe it took me 6 years of living in Providence to finally come here. Came recently on a sunny afternoon with my girlfriend and she hadn't been here before either, so we wanted to try a few things. For mains, we went with the giant lobster roll and scallop roll. It's great that you can choose from several different side options (some at an additional cost), because we were able to opt for clam cakes for one side and clam chowder for the other, effectively letting us try 4 of their menu items.

      The scallop roll may have been my favorite. The scallops were delicate in texture, really buttery, and perfectly fried in a nice light batter. The giant lobster roll (cold) was great. Just enough dill mayo, perfectly buttered and toasted roll, big crunchy lettuce leaves. I sprinkled on the tiniest bit of extra salt. At $36 for 1/2 pound of lobster and a side included (fries or 2 clam cakes), it's a solid deal. Clam cakes were some of the best we've had. We especially appreciated the amount of clam in them, since some places give you clam cakes with little to no clam. Conversely, the chowder for some reason had very little clam and a ton of potatoes instead, which was a little disappointing in an otherwise very good New England clam chowder.

      Overall, great first experience. Food was all fresh and came out quickly. Service was friendly. Great seating out by the water. We'll definitely be back!

      Fun casual place! We stood in line close to an hour for dinner with two toddlers and it was worth the wait. Not pictured because we inhaled it so quickly, we enjoyed the hot jumbo lobster roll, fish and chips, chowder, and bites for the kids. Live music, beautiful scenery, and wonderful weather made this even better! But would go again!
