Cleveland’s Original Clambake

The tradition of Cleveland’s clambake was built in 1944, when Chef Comella began sharing his passion for great food and family gatherings. What started as a small family business quickly grew into a fall-season staple, bringing Clevelanders together to enjoy hearty meals filled with flavor and warmth.

Our clams are sourced directly from the Eastern seaboard, known for their tender meat and naturally sweet, briny taste of the ocean. The hallmark of Chef Comella’s Original Clambake includes one dozen Wild Middleneck Clams, fresh Ohio sweet corn, locally raised chicken halves, and rich Louisiana sweet potatoes. Each bake is rounded out with crisp, freshly made coleslaw, soft rolls with butter, and all of the paper products you’ll need to make hosting simple. Step-by-step instructions are included, ensuring that your clambake is not only delicious but also easy to prepare and memorable for all who gather around the table.

Over the years, we’ve expanded our offerings beyond the Original Clambake. Today, you can choose from Specialty or Combination bakes that feature indulgent additions such as live lobster, lobster tails, king crab, or our restaurant-quality sirloin and strip steaks. Whether you prefer the traditional experience or a more elevated feast, there is a clambake for every occasion.

For generations, Chef Comella’s clambakes have set the standard in Northeast Ohio. We are proud to carry forward the legacy of Cleveland’s Original Clambake — a timeless way to bring people together, celebrate the season, and savor the very best of land and sea.
