Rhode Island Eats | The Black Pearl

When in Newport—Rhode Island’s famous tourist city—you can’t miss exploring Bowen’s Wharf, and The Black Pearl is a standout seafood spot right in this iconic waterfront area! 🌊🍴 This restaurant sits right by the water—dining in would let you soak up that dreamy coastal vibe with waves nearby, but here’s the thing: it’s insanely popular, and the lines for a table can snake super long! 🚶♀️🚶♂️ Since I didn’t want to spend ages waiting, I went for takeout instead—quick, hassle-free, and perfect for munching while wandering the wharf. I kept my order simple: a classic lobster roll to test the hype—and it totally delivered! 🦞 The lobster meat was fresh through and through; you could taste that bright, “just-pulled-from-the-ocean” sweetness in every bite. The salad dressing mixed in was chef’s kiss—not too sweet, so it let the lobster’s natural flavor shine instead of overpowering it. I polished the whole roll off in no time, and by the end, I was already craving another—total “too tasty to slow down” energy 😋! 📍 Location 30 Bannister's Wharf, Newport, RI 02840 Whether you’re grabbing takeout for a waterfront picnic (hello, ocean views + lobster = vibe!) or waiting for a table to dine in, The Black Pearl’s lobster roll is a no-brainer for a classic Newport seafood fix! #RhodeIslandEats #NewportSeafood #TheBlackPearl #LobsterRollLove #BowenWharfEats #CoastalTakeout #NewportRI
