Pop's Clam Shop Open for 2017

Why close so early on Sunday nights? We were there last night at 7:15 and the place was shut down. Tons of people in Alton bay, bike week plus everyone heading home should mean big business.

We ended up having to go to johnsons and waited a half hour for take out. The food window wasn't even busy. Not the best experience there...

Thumbs down Not a good start for pops ?????

Went down to Alton last Sunday 5-21. Got there around 5:30 all set for some Scollops and Clams. The Menu board had all these RED TAGS over some item. That was to indicate they were not available, they had RUN OUT of everything you could do to prepare a Scollop or a Clam with.

In all fairness the hours on the website do reflect a 7pm closing in May and June, my point is that they may want to consider staying open until 8 as I feel like they are missing out on a lot of business.

Just bummed we didn't get our Pop's fix , and had to settle elsewhere....

Respectfully, I think a restaurant running out of what brings the customers in the first place is not good business practice.
Sounds like pops is as independent as they come and purposely, plans on selling out every day so he doesn't lose a nickel.
I won't drive an hour to be disappointed as there are many other great seafood places around that don't "run out" of their specialties.

I was disappointed last weekend. I love T-Bones Lazy Man Lobster and went their 6pm last Sunday the 4th and the place was fairly empty. Sat at the bar tried to order my meal and was told they were out of fresh lobster.
