We always go to Sam's when we visit Sandwich. Yes, it's a chain. But, it's good food at pretty reasonable prices. The location is fun, as it's right near the Cape Cod canal. The food is all freshly prepared. It's not fancy . . . but, who wants fancy when you're eating fried clams?

The food is awesome to choose from, and you can also choose a beverage to drink. Desserts are optional, if you want to end your meal that way. For food, beverages, and dessert, Seafood Sam's of Sandwich is the place to be.

On the canal in Sandwich, a short walk from the water. Good variety of seafoods (fried & broiled) and some land foods, too. Reasonable prices and very good quality. Casual & OK for families

This restaurant is the best of the chain, as it is on the Cape Cod Canal. There is no table service. You place our order and go up to the counter to pick it up. Almost all dishes are fried. You can get steamers in season and they have excellent fish chowder. Orders arrive quickly. Bench seats at table are... More

You order at the counter, wait a little or a while depending on how busy they are, and get your food on a tray. The food is great! Good quality (fish is all white - no dark spots at all). Even their chicken is quality. Sit inside or outside on the concrete deck or at a picnic table. Once you're... More

Never had a bad visit and I go often. I have never had fried belly clams that were stuck together here, something that happens a lot at competitors. Everything is done right.
