Reviews for The Clam Bucket in Port Alberni, BC
Got there 5 minutes before closing- no problem. Waitresses were friendly and busy and efficient. Place looks like a shack... outside but the food was great. Had a mixed bucket of clams/ mussels. Some muscles weren't open and they gave us some more tocompensate. Had a " rhubarb" gin and tonic. Great. Had fried oysters - great. Prices were the most reasonable we found on thewhole island, and portion size was good. Absolutely 2 thumbs up. I would go back, no question. Our server was Marisa, but a fewwaitresses helped out.

I came from Vancouver to go on first date. The food was great but more importantly the staff went out of their way to make us... happy. Before we left I asked if there was a place to watch to sunset. As we were watching the sunset they texted us saying thatthey had wine and cheesecake for us to enjoy. The next morning I went back to the restaurant to tell them again how much weappreciated their service. This place is amazing and so are the people!!! Read more

The fun name caught our attention and it did not disappoint! Huge seafood menu that would take days to sample- we had clams,... mussels and calamari and it was all delicious. They had a good kid?s menu and my son assured me that the cheeseburger wasdelicious. Cute restaurant and patio, though we took out lunch to a picnic table by the river. Read more

A gem in Port Alberni. Not so fancy on its facade, but the inside is quite cozy. I was amazed with the smiling staff and kind of... service we got. The food was delicious, and with my wife, we loved more the house special clam chowder. Definitely will comeback when in Port Alberni. Parking though is limited, but there are lots of parking space in nearby park. Washroom was clean,too. Read more
Great place to eat in Port. Every time I come to Port, the Clam Bucket is on the list at least once to visit! It's been a... couple years since I've been able to make the trip, and things have only gotten better. Make sure to make a reservation as theyget very busy! Fish and chips, shrimp salad, halibut....all really well done!! Would definitely recommend. Read more
