Clamp's — Restaurant in New Milford

I've been going here since I was a toddler in the late 1960s. Let me set your expectations, it's a little pricy. Newsflash It has to be..it's a one of a kind roadside stand open from May to maybe the week after Labor Day. The food is slightly above average and the Summer help ? Usually teens and marginally adequate. However , the quality of the food is above average and it's not the reason you go. Think about it.
