Mohegan Sun · Uncasville, Conn. · Since 2000
Our Story.
A clam shack on steroids, as Food Arts Magazine put it. Jasper White's Summer Shack, inside Mohegan Sun since the Cambridge original opened in 2000.
“The best lobster roll is the simplest one.”
Jasper White ran Boston's most celebrated restaurant for twelve years. Then the Big Dig came and he closed up shop. Everyone assumed he'd open another fine-dining landmark. Instead, he opened a clam shack in Cambridge, next to Alewife Station. The idea was dead simple: serve the same quality seafood he'd been cooking at Jasper's, but skip the tablecloths. Lobster from Maine, clams from Ipswich, oysters from the Cape. Crack them at the table. Shuck them to order.
Twenty-five years later, that's still exactly what it is. Our Mohegan Sun outpost brings the same day-boat sourcing and no-shortcuts kitchen to Connecticut's premier casino resort. Whether you're playing the floor or celebrating a milestone, you'll find the same clam shack.

Jasper White
James Beard Award winner. Four cookbooks. Jasper settled in Boston in 1979 and spent over four decades dedicated to New England seafood. He passed away in May 2024, but the standards he set, fresh catch, honest cooking, no shortcuts, are unchanged.
His philosophy was simple: start with the best fish, don't mess it up, and let the ocean do the work.
What we stand for
The Rules.
Fresh daily
Our seafood arrives every morning from New England day-boat fishermen. If it's not fresh, it's off the board.
Local boats
We buy from Gloucester, Chatham, and Cape fishermen. Their work is the foundation of every plate we serve.
No pretense
A clam shack should feel like a clam shack. We're here to feed people well, not to impress anyone.
Jasper's legacy
James Beard Award winner. Four cookbooks. Passed in 2024. His standards are unchanged.
