Clam Digger’s Seafood

Bad service foods not great! Gave I a second try wish I had ordered pizza. Prices are high. Salad was bagged spring mix with two slices of tomato and maybe four slices of cucumber. Salad dressing was in a pouch.

After posting my last review in May I’ve had the chance to go back a few times, talk with friends who visited, and most importantly had a nice chat with the owner. Apparently mine wasn’t the only concern she heard from customers about certain employee’s attitude. I’ve noticed an improvement and friendlier service. It was enough to bump them up a star.

Very cool place to go. Awesome jazz band on the last wednesday of everymonth. Good service. The owner is very nice, and his wife does all the cooking. Plenty of parking behind the building. Pretty spacious inside, good tables and chairs. Good craft beer. Has 2 clean bathrooms. Pool table in the back room. Pretty decent crowd. Crab legs are great, Crab cakes are good. Reasonably priced. Friendly waitstaff this might be my first 5 star review. I like it because its different. If you get the beer sampler, you can get the small buffet of shrimp soup etc. Nothing negative at all to say about this place, great atmosphere.

My significant other and I went to Clam Diggers because I had been craving seafood. Sadly my craving was not satisfied. We started with the half pound of steamed shrimp for a little under $ 12. It took a little longer than expected and there was not ½ lb of shrimp in the basket.
We both chose to do the combination platter. The crab cake was $ 9. $ 9 for one small crab cake is definitely more expensive than the average restaurant. The scallops were $ 2.50 a piece and were roughly the size of a quarter. The steamed clams were overcooked and therefore very rubbery and hard to get down. The dessert was free with our meal and wad the best part. Both the banana pudding and the brownie are wonderful.
The food was decent overall, and had we paid $ 40 for the both of us we would be more pleased, but $ 53 seemed unreasonable for the quality and quantity.

Great seafood for being a long way from the coast and in a small town. Price is good for what you get and a good selection of beer… if you drink or go there to hear a band WATCH OUT this is just one of the two spots that serve alcohol in this town so the local police stake out the customers regularly for DUI revenue or just to harass.

All the food is steamed, no fried food. The crab legs, shrimp, and scallops are exceptional. Good southern Sweet Tea. A must if you are going through Bedford.

Good live music, friendly local folk and pretty decent seafood for out in the middle of rural Virginia.

After a long day of driving this place was a delight! I had the snow crab and it was the best crab/​seafood I had ever! This place is Manhattan quality (I wish it was in New York so I could visit more). The dessert that came with the meal trifle? I think was also divine. I love this place such a good meal!

We were passing through Bedford and found this little seafood place on our way home. It is a small, casual restaurant with a very friendly waitstaff. They had a wide selection of fresh fish that they will cook to order there, or you can grab some for home cooking. We had the blackened Ma hi with fries and a basket of hush puppies. It wasn’t anything extravagant, but we always enjoy places that serve fresh fish. One big plus was the free dessert! We had a choice strawberry short cake or dirt pie (chocolate pudding with oreos and whip cream) In my opinion… always go with the chocolate. Great little place for a casual lunch if you are looking seafood. Seemed a little understaffed for what appeared to be an unexpected late lunch crowed though. We would definitely stop by again if we are looking for casual seafood in Bedford.

This is a decent seafood place. It’s set up like a basic seafood shack, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The menu had a _​lot_​of options, plus the chef was open to any personal whims in styles of cooking, sauces, etc. (They’d even let you pick your own fish from the fresh seafood, if you wanted to.) The fish (the three ways that I tried) and the hushpuppies were outstanding, although the crabcakes left a lot to be desired. You can also buy fresh seafood here to take home and cook yourself, which I saw several people do. I’d probably try some of Bedford’s other options for variety before returning, but I would go back to Clam Diggers at some point.
