Cortez Clam Factory - Bradenton

First visit to Cortez Clam Factory. It was a pretty typical bar/restaurant layout. Looked to have rather extensive outdoor seating although we opted to sit inside. Band had just wrapped up which made for a far more enjoyable evening as we could chat. Service got off to a bit or a rocky start, but they redeemed themselves. We stood at the front for a considerable length of time, being passed by several staff members and after being unacknowledged ultimately just found a table ourselves. Eventually a server found their way to our table. Once we got rolling the service was pretty good. We went with a Cuban sandwiches and french fries. We asked for no pickles on one, and that request got missed by the kitchen. The flavor was good, cook times weren’t bad. It was a pretty fair showing on their part, but for the reasons above we struggle to issue that coveted 5th and glorious star. All in all, CCF seems to be a low risk selection. We’d go back.

Never had a bad meal or time in this restaurant food is Great Servers are cool and the Ambiance Chill What more do you need!? Try them back

Really funny place with great food. We had Nikki (hopefully I wrote it right... and she's fun. Watch the excellent steak night!

Best place ive je zuget the crabby balls and shrimps.

I had bought a pretty bad food poisoning after eating a roasted Clam dinner here. I hope I will save someone from going through what I've experienced.
