Just phenomenal everytime. I think it's my favorite restaurant in Fall River. The Porto restaurants in Fall River mostly have the same dishes, so it's the subtleties of the experience that stand out between the establishments. The Clipper is as authentic as it gets.

My wife and I hadn't been to The Clipper in thirty years. We both wanted a Portuguese meal and they were open and didn't need reservations. The tables were well spaced. My wife had the steak and eggs and it was a nice sirloin in a spicy gravy. I had the shrimp Mozambique. The sauce was very good with a lot of garlic. The French fries are hand cut and very good. We both enjoyed our meals and will be back much sooner.

I had their house steak very good, a little spicy nice sauce with the steak. They have the traditional red pepper on the steak very tasty

We regularly come to Fall River for this food. I get the Bife A Casa and desert. It's delicious. John and the staff are wonderful!

Exceptional service. John the head waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The restaurant was very clean. We can't wait to come back with our family to try other dishes.

As a newbie to Portuguese cuisine I can not compare Clipper to any other but I do reckon this is the real McCoy. Located in an ethnic part of Fall River, it has a simple European vibe inside and is teaming with Portuguese folk of mostly old people. Our group was fortunate enough to be under the guidance of Mo's bro-in-law, Bob, who is Portuguese and knows the owner and Portuguese food well. Bob expertly selected dishes and did most of the ordering for the table. The food was truly representative of the plebeian masses of Portugal, and so, Clipper is authentic. (One of my pet peeves is when allegedly ethnic restaurants are Americanized/yuppified bogus versions of the ethnic cuisine -this bugs, big time). First up was a fresh (non-pasteurized) cheese app and a clam dish app in a garlic white-wine sauce, both of which were unique and uber-flavorful. Soft bread came with for dipping in the clam sauce and for making pseudo-sammies of bread and cheese and a hot relish type stuff. Mo's sis, Kathy, gave me the instruction on the methods of eating this app. Most of us got the assortment plate which had deep fried pork ribs, and three types of "snausages" (blood, chourico, linguisa) and a fried juevo and a red pepper to be paired with the pork. Mo's niece got the octopus dish which was well prepared and laden with tender Texas-sized tentacles. The portions were big and the prices very reasonable. We spent a couple hours dining and "conversating" here, and we agreed that it felt as though we were on a European "vaykay" as the lunch was a social time in this authentic restaurant. I would highly recommend this joint as a post- or pre-Lizzy Borden House meal. I give a solid "forty-whack" rating to The Clipper. Tchau, YELPers!

Thanks John and wait staff and cooks. It was a great portugeese dining experience. we had steak portugeese sausage shrimp cows cheese with hot sauce on the side wonderful bread....It was all awesome.I would advise yelpers and people visiting battleship cove which is right around the corner to go to this relaxed lovely spot.The food is top notch.very friendly wait staff. I've never had a Portuguese dinner before and I am glad I did. I know I'll be back next time for sure. And again John thanks for the kindness and fast service. It was much appreciated by me and my family......great day !!!!

Was my first experience with Portuguese food at a restaurant. It was on a Sunday not busy at all actually we were the only people there at one point but the service was good the food I'm not sure if it's my style but I did like the sauce that was in the chicken. The couple we were with absolutely love that place and go all the time maybe I'll give it a second chance but my first time I will say it was good, wasn't my favorite dish! I will try the shrimp mozimbque if we go back. Super clean and near establishment. Not much parking though
