A Summer Must!

We have used Clams Ect. for several home occasions. I can't say enough about how amazing this company is, from start to finish. From the first contact to clean up, these guys are amazing!
We usually get the 1.5 lbs lobsters, with the clambake. The options are all delicious, and the portions are more than enough to feed an army. We've had between 45 and 70 each year and haven't been disappointed!
Always grateful for everything they do!

Excellent food and service

We hired Clambakes Etc. for our wedding in July. They were extremely helpful with planning our menu and renting linens, glassware, and other items that were needed. The food was amazing, large and delicious portions. Definitely get the clam chowder!

Incredible food and so reliable!

We had a 100 person "backyard wedding" in Wareham and Clambakes Etc. catered both the wedding and the rehearsal dinner and we were BEYOND impressed! We truly could not have had a better experience, everyone absolutely raved about the food both nights and still comment on it 6 months later! The teams were so friendly, prompt, professional, and accommodating - they handled EVERYTHING and I never once had to worry about whether or not things were getting done. I absolutely recommend this company to provide the catering for any event you have and we will come up with an excuse to have another party on the Cape soon just to use them again! 10/10.

Book now!

I would and will recommend Clambakes, Etc. to anyone and everyone! Simply perfect. Everything, from beginning to end. All staff members I dealt with were extremely professional, from first conversation to last. Our guests were STUNNED at the delicious foods, beautiful setup and wonderfully kind staff members!! You can tell they all absolutely loved their job and loved being there, TRUE hospitality. The day of manager on September 16th, Cam was there every step of the way making sure I was happy and had everything I needed. Jason, Cathy, Dennis were extremely wonderful and pleasant to work with every step of the way. Our guests won’t stop raving and wanting to relive our dinner rehearsal! NEITHER CAN I! Stop looking, and BOOK NOW!

Just book them- you won’t be disappointed!

I am SO glad I booked my wedding with Jason and Clambakes, Etc. It was the ultimate cape cod wedding meal. I was told my SO many people how amazing the food was. The raw bar boat is a MUST and the bacon wrapped scallops are AMAZING. I was told by SO many people they had multiple cups of clam chowder and that it was the best chowder they have ever had. I had the lobster and the steak - both were amazing. Unfortunately I didn’t eat the steamers or corn or potatoes, but many people told me the steamers were awesome. The staff is amazing and I didn’t have to get out of my chair- everything was brought to me. Jason is THE NICEST and he was so thorough with all the questions on our phone call a few days prior. The bartenders were also AWESOME!!! The drinks were delicious and strong - just how we like them. And can we talk about the price?!?! For what you get- THE MOST AFFORDABLE. I did add on the table set up and end of the night clean up— so worth it!! Don’t skimp on that since you’re saving so much on the catering bill. The only thing that I found a bit annoying was the water service charge for the actual service that they gave, but that was quickly taken care of after the event, and I have no complaints!!! Just make sure you eat and drink at your wedding when you book them- one of the best meals you’ll have!!!

From the planning process to day of execution, working with Jason and his team was a true pleasure! Their expertise and amazing food made my job as planner an easy one.

Best caterer for an outdoor wedding

We were so happy with how everything went on our wedding day, and a gigantic reason is because of Clambakes Etc! Jason and the entire crew were so easy to work with from day one, super responsive, and accommodated our every request. The tent, lighting, tables, chairs, and entire setup was even better than we imagined (highly recommend draped lighting for a wedding - worth the extra money!). We used them for our bbq rehearsal dinner on Friday as well as our wedding Saturday for a traditional clambake, and the food was amazing both days. Some guest favorites during those days were the pulled pork, lobster rolls, and scallops & bacon appetizer. But ALL the food was delicious! Our guests kept letting us know how good the food was and how they'll remember it for a long time. Everyone who helped make it possible was so friendly and wonderful to work with - from the guys that set up the tent, to the bartender, to the food servers...everything was perfect and professional. They never missed a beat. We will definitely use them again for other family events. Thank you for making it the best, most perfect day for us! Anne & Johnny

We photographed a rehearsal dinner in late July of 2016 at a beautiful field near the Glen Manor in Rhode Island alongside Clambakes, etc. The staff of Clambakes, etc. was super friendly and very cool with us taking some fun photos of the lobsters and clams before they reached the tables! We were able to enjoy the food as well, and we are still talking about how amazing it was over a year later!
