Our waitress Deb was amazing. She made our experience full of laughs and definitely a need to return. The food was delicious as well. Our drinks were plentiful and well worth the price. Highly recommend giving this local restaurant a try.

I had been waiting to eat at this spot since last year but was unable due to staffing issues. The wait was well worth it!!! We arrived at around 7 PM and were seated almost immediately despite it being packed. Everything from the drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts were amazing. They take their time bringing food out between courses which we loved because it gave us time to talk and enjoy our food. Our server, Jordon, was probably the best server we have ever had at any restaurant. He was personable, attentive, and friendly, he made us feel like he was serving us from his home. I can’t wait to come back next summer.

Hands down my favorite restaurant in the area. We sat at the bar and Maggie was awesome! She paid attention to everything and gave us everything we needed (and more!! ask for her tropical margarita ) I got the scallops and coconut shrimp pictured in my review; AMAZING. My dad said the blackened Mahi was the best he ever had! The experience was just overall amazing. We look forward to making this our go-to when we visit!!

Casual dining. Food was great. Never had clams with lemon but I will never have them without lemon again. Our server Jordan was amazing. Made our dinner even better with his wonderful personality. The salad dressing was homemade and delicious.

Oysters were AMAZING! Bacon wrapped scallops were PHENOMENAL. Chocolate Pecan pie was the most DIVINE way to end this meal. A+ for bourbon selection as well. Blantons and buffalo trace, yes please. Service was OUTSTANDING, Maggie was attentive without being obtrusive. Perfect birthday dinner.

Our experience with places to eat here in Avon has been less than good, however here at the Cockeyed Clam, we couldn’t have been happier. Our server was down to earth, knew his stuff and even recommended a place we should check out while we were here. The oysters were fresh and delicious, the entree was spectacular and our drinks were tasty. Good job Jordan!
