What people say

Read the original coverage and decide what you want to try first.

The Infatuation "Just a couple doors down from the long line at Nathan's Clam Bar, Pete's Clam Stop rarely has a wait, and it also has a bigger variety of seafood… the surprise hit is the shish kebab, straight off the grill and smothered in BBQ sauce." "Where To Eat And Drink In Coney Island" · 7.6/10 Eater NY "The hot dogs are of the fundamental New York City type, spread with grainy mustard and sauerkraut, every bit as good as Nathan's in their own way." "The Best Hot Dogs in NYC" · Robert Sietsema Coney Island Fun Guide "Still one of the best places for clams on the half shell in NYC that won't break the bank. With Williams Candy right next door, the odds are high you'll find the perfect treat." Pete's Clam Stop · Featured Restaurant
