Dan's Clam Stand

We recently relocated to Florida. The last thing I did was to eat my whole belly fried clams while we were still in New England, fearing I might never enjoy these again. My husband owned a seafood restaurant in Massachusetts for 25 which was after he worked as a deep sea commercial fisherman for 31 years out of New Bedford Mass. We found this place on the net and after reading the reviews we thought we would try it. All I can say is AMAZING!! I had the fried whole belly clams and my husband had the fried grouper. The price for the clams was a surprise. We really expected to be paying much more than what they charged at $18.99 for the dinner. We were paying 22.00-23.99 in New England and Dan gets his shipped in, so I'm sure his profit margin isn't as big as New England. He really treats his customer well. The server, Melinda was awesome, the food impeccable. The place was loaded to the max with people, and I can see why. This man is doing something right. He won us over and we will most definately make this OUR choice of restaurants to go to.

The Homosassa location is far better than the Crystal River one. The staff is all female, which is really neat. The cooks are exceptional. Every time I have went there, my meal has been served quick, fresh, and always how I ordered it. The service is wonderful. I was nerver thirsty and the servers are always friendly and efficient. The other location, however, is ok but the food seems to be pre cooked and thrown together without care. I rarely recieved a meal there that was correct or hot. The Homosassa location is far cleaner and has more of a comfortable atmosphere. It helps that we dont hear Dan yelling at his employees at the homosassa one. I will only eat in Homosassa.
