Super fresh seafood no matter what you order.

Nicky’s Clam Bar really blew away my expectations! The mussels (garlic & white wine + porky version) were divine. The Surf & Turf burger was delicious!

Local long island clam bar that’s open seasonally to service primarily the fire island crowds. Went here with the family for the first time, the dining area is small with a bar, there’s also outdoor dining with a walk up order bar. The prices were reasonable and the food was good, not great. The service was great as they’re used to quick turnover. At one point I had to remove a gnat from my water, not sure if he flew in while I was eating or if it had always been there. Great seafood choices. Go when the ferry isn’t running.. parking isn’t the best… but I’d go back.

I had the absolute best experience at Nicky’s Clam bar. The manager Chrissy was so welcoming and informative on the menu. This establishment is family run by exceptional people. My favorite dish was… actually I can’t even think of one because everything you get is better than the next. I’ll be back tomorrow and the day after that.

Nicky’s clam bar is a cozy place. We ordered corn chowder, hamburger, lobster roll and chicken fingers and fries for the LO. The hamburger was not good, the lobster roll was 43$ which was not worth that money. The lobster roll had little pieces of lobster and soaked in oil. All I tasted was oil with a taste of lobster. The corn chowder soup was good and chicken fingers were dry.

The food was SPECTACULAR! I started with the Clam Bisque, which was New England Clam Chowder. It was creamy, very well seasoned. Next, I had Clams Oreganata. The clams were sweet and they came right out of the shell. For my main entree, I had Fried Oysters, with a baked potato, and it also came with delicious garlic bread. There was also homemade tartar sauce. The Oysters were well cooked, the batter was crispy and the oysters weren’t chewy. Overall, a 5 Star meal! High praises for NICKY’S CLAM BAR!!

After returning from Fire Island, it was lunch time and we were all pretty hungry so we decided to have lunch at Nicky’s Clam Bar, which is conveniently across from the Fire Island Ferries terminal.

Went for the first time last night. Ordered a couple of apps which were mid. Then dinner came I had the broiled oreganata combo, overcooked and no flavor I ate it because I felt bad in the sense that I was sending back my wife’s Ahi Tuna dinner that she couldn’t even cut with a knife there was so much connective tissue in the piece my wife didn’t touch it. Brought the tuna to the waiter’s attention and his responses were a quick laugh with a solution for him to bring a sharper knife. Lol. As we asked for the bill I looked after I paid and asked why didn’t he take off the tuna that was returned, he then replied he couldn’t do that. When asked to speak to a manager I was told no manager was there. Very disappointed will advise everyone to definitely no eat at this establishment as the food is terrible and the lack of service was unexceptable. And way overpriced

Called in my order and came when I was asked to pick it up. They had no record of my order. First guy was helpful in trying to figure out what happened. I was told I would have to wait an additional 35 minutes for one of the meals specifically since the order was never given to the kitchen . Not ideal but I got over it. I spoke with a Second Gentleman about the specifics of my order before he tried to run it back. Didn’t seem like he was listening. Got home and 2 of the 3 orders were wrong and missing key items. Absolute bummer of a situation. We loved the place so at some point we will give it a third shot since the first time was really great. Unfortunately probably not anytime soon after this.

Still the best if not better! LOVE the expanded menu. Celebrating my 60th birthday on Mother’s Day, this dockside tiny gem was hopping! Thank you, Caitlin, for your friendliness, knowledge of menu items. As well to chef/staff for accomodating my lump crabmeat quesadilla. Above and beyond, so much appreciated! Quick, prompt service especially on such busy day. Dad’s fried oysters and cajun fries were abundance for half size, delicious, too. Can’t wait to return and enjoy the recently added outdoor space or just grab a cocktail at the bar.
