The Cortez Clam Factory, referred to as
“ The Clam “ by locals, is a friendly honkytonk located just a mile from the historic “Cortez Fishing Village“.
Originally known as Hunter's Point, Cortez used to be settled in the 1880's by way of households from Carteret County, North Carolina. When a post office set up in 1888, the village wanted a new identify to keep away from confusion with any other Hunter's Point in Florida. Although the origins of Cortez can't be formally proven, the neighborhood may have been named after the Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés.

Most days you'll find chef and owner / partner Randy out back smokin' up a storm...no, not that kind of smoke...he's busy smokin' wings, brisket, pork, and our newest addition, bacon. And don't forget to try our famous smoked pastrami Reuben sandwich!
The Clam Factory specializes in House-Smoked BBQ,
House-Cured bacon, and fresh Seafood. Our idea is to simply provide the best quality food at the most affordable prices.
Our menu includes many dishes that owner Chef Randy has been perfecting for many years. Taking pride in our food and service is our number one priority. We also offer specials almost every night of the week including our famous Saturday Steak Night or Lobster Wednesday.
