Pop’s Clam Shell

The food was amazing FRESH SEAFOOD. This place must be on your top place to visit when you come to the lake .
I ordered the Calamari platter and couldn’t finish it. Can’t wait to visit again next year when I come to the Lake, wished that I could take some food back with me to Dutchess County, NY.

What a great place to grab a quick bite — the food is good and they’re dog friendly :) Not only got our food, but they gave us a few dog biscuits as well for my pup. Will definitely go back!

Pop’s has great, non-​greasy food in huge portions. I always take my meal to go, drive across the street and eat lakeside on the picnic benchs near the Alton Bay bandstand. Great food with a wonderful view. I have never had a bad meal from Pop’s! Love the fried clams and onion rings!

I Love Pop’s Clam Shell.
As it may not be the most appealing option, the prices are low, the food is good, and they give you a lot of everything. The service is fast, and definitley memorable.

THIS was the most pleasant surprise ever. Who would of thought this little shack produced huge plates of yummy food? It is in a great location, and two level seating is offered right next to the shack!
This place gives an insane amount of food. I ordered the pulled pork platter for about $ 14… for that price i got TWO. yes TWO pulled pork sandwiches, a huge heaping of cole slaw, and fries that basically piled up over the sandwiches. It was insane!
The food was all very fresh. Amazing cole slaw, addicting fries, and the pulled pork was better then I expected. I would have liked a little more sauce on the meat though!
I can not believe we always passed this place! We will make sure to stop here more often.

Went here on recommendation of someone whose family has a home here. The food is very good. The small side order of whole belly clams was HUGE just like the other reviews say. The price was $ 16.95 though so you would expect a good helping. Don’t let the container size fool you, they heap it do high they fall onto the tray. Food was not greasy and coating was light with fresh oil. Only disappointment is that the small side of haddock was indeed small, for $ 10.95. Worth a stop and great view of Alton Bay eating outdoors on the deck.

Funny that a place that’s been an Alton Bay staple for at least 25 years only has 1 other review on them!
My family has been vacationing in Alton Bay for as long as I can remember and we’ve always made Pop’s a must-​have meal while here. Now with a family of my own, it will continue to be a big part of vacation. Tonight we got 2 hot dogs and a small order of fried clams. Plenty big enough to split between my wife and I. It’s a delicious, greasy spoon so you can’t go wrong stopping here.

Very large portions but steep prices but then again they give you massive portions so i guess it justifies the price. I got the clam boat which is the smaller portion and it was great. The clams were very large with great taste and the fries were also good. The neat seating deck gives you a good view of the bay aswell

Great fried clams! Quick after placing order and everything was hot and delicious. The clams were HUGE and the bellies were full of great belly. If you order the clam strips here you are a sissy.
Love sitting out on the deck upstairs and gorging myself on fried goodness.
