Benny's Clam Shack Narragansett — Restaurant in Narragansett

(CAUTION, THE FISH IN THE FISH AND CHIPS ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK) So me and my friend decided to go to Benny's to order some quick lunch. Upon entering the shack I smell what smells like death itself. Benny which I’m assuming whoever is at the register was rude and had a bad temper (to the point where I don’t even know how it’s still in business). Upon looking at the menu we see how expensive and overpriced the food was, so we ordered I got the fish and chips and my friend got clam chowder. Before Benny yelled at us to go and wait outside I see at the corner of my eye what looks like a dog sized rat run under a table in the back. I walk out in horror, after walking outside we see how nasty the tables were they were covered in bird poop and were all sticky and gross. Also under two of them were yellow jacket nests, besides all that we go to the only somewhat clean table available. After waiting an hour for food it finally came, it was practically thrown at us by the worker. Any way we both look down in pure horror as we see a disgusting putrid sight in my box was a whole fish with mild breading on it it smelled absolutely disgusting and rotten ( almost threw up on spot) I got my “fries” in a separate container they looked god awful also and the smell was of rotten potatoes, they were also wet and slimy and were literally raw. Also I swear Benny had a mental outlash on one of his workers as I saw an unknown white substance fly across the kitchen hitting a worker in the face. My friend received his tray of what was supposed to be clam chowder, we here’d from one of the workers that they ran out and had to compromise for it it was just disgusting (pictures will be posted). After throwing our biohazards in the woods we go inside to get drinks I get a coke and my friend a ginger ale I opened the coke and to my surprise there were what looked like coffee grinds in my coke it smelled awful also I ended up breaking it open and saw black liquid with random objects inside. My friend said his ginger ale was salty and he felt weird drinking it so we threw those out also. It was a total waste of money. After getting home I instantly felt nauseous and threw up I knew it was from the food, the next day I went to the doctor and found that I needed to be hospitalized for botulism and an e.coli infection it was terrifying and I might be suing never go here unless you want to have a close to...

I would like to state first and foremost that the nice woman waitressing at this location deserves so much better than the way the owner of this establishment treats her. I and the rest of the patrons were forced to listen to him berate and swear at her repeatedly for his own mistakes. I watched him hand the waitress the wrong type of chowder three different times. Screaming and name calling her each time. As well as continuing to utter random obscenities as she was walking away and tending to the clientele.

I am very curious as to how well the rest of the afternoon went on 8/10/25. As I was leaving the owner was yelling and swearing at two women in the parking lot who had the audacity to stand up for the waitress. The patrons waiting out front all leaving.

The owner is a vile and apparently inept fry cook. I feel bad for anyone that has to interact with him. I especially feel bad for his dog. The dog that was wandering around the kitchen. Is that food safe?

The food was disgusting.

Benny, could you please provide a counter point of view in the event my assessment of you being both inept and vile is inaccurate?

Additionally, as an industry professional could you provide brief explanation of the food safe standards regarding animals in the kitchen for us that are not in the...

Placed an online order, came about 30 minutes later to pick up. Food was for me, picked up by me. Never been before so wasn’t sure if there was a different area for pickup. Waiting in the ordering line for a few, then caught the front end staff’s eye- said I was picking up- was told very rudely I’d have to wait my turn. Ok I will wait. Several more minutes pass and I got asked my name, told not ready. The whole time I’m waiting that front end person, who I know realize is the owner was rude and aggressive towards everyone. Made the whole place feel uncomfortable and unfriendly. Then he went in the back and started yelling and swearing at kitchen staff- kids inside the place mind you and the “back” is open kitchen. He was annoyed I ordered online- hey if you don’t want to accept online orders, then don’t. A lot of places don’t and that’s fine. You are a restaurant. People order food from you- that’s how it works. Whole experience was sour and won’t be back.

** Owner replied to me, see below- I didn’t care about waiting for the food, places are busy. Did care about his attitude and rudeness. He was annoyed about takeout orders, rude in general and had an attitude that customers ordering were bothering him. But I guess that was just in my...
