I have lived around alton most of my life and only been to Pop's on rare occasions, although I knew they had great fried clams I assumed they were not in my price range and geared more for tourist so I had shy'ed away. But recently, because of a constant request from my better half we drove the 3 miles up the road to Pop's for a clam dinner. The price was fair compared to other local restaurants and most of all I noticed the other great non-seafood items on the menu such as steak subs, burgers, chicken tenders ect... with reasonable price tags, not to mention probably the best french fries outside a nh fairground. Needless to say Pop's has been our restaurant of choice over the last few weeks with around 4 or 5 visits and you cannot beat the ambience of sitting on the upper deck overlooking the bay. Been too full to try the Ice cream yet, but hopefully I will before they close up Labor Day weekend.
