A very pleasant young lady greeted me with a big smile. Mind you, I went there for Flo's clam shack, unaware that it was closed. A stones throw away. Maddie took my order, 1/2 dozen and a cup of chowder. This means 6 clam cakes and a cup of clam chowder. I queried to her if they had fried scallops or clams. They did not. So I was number 46, no beach rocks needed. After 4 minutes my number was called and I sat down to one of the clean white picnic tables. Reminiscent of the Flo's days. What a delight it was to bite into a clam cake that didn't hurt my eyes nor tastebuds! Most I hurt my eyes searching for the clams Loaded with delicious tender clams in an awesome recipe clam cake, this did not disappoint! Lightly battered, not overly heavy with plenty of tasty clam bits! They give you tartar sauce with them, but no....I had something better to dip my clamcakes into! One of the most delicious clam chowders I have ever tasted!!! Perfect recipe of clams potatoes and onions with an absolutely perfect flavor that was out of this world! If I was disappointed with Flo's not being open, I quickly forgot about it. This place is a must gotta go this summer! They also have many different items on the menu (1 on either side of the pickup/order window). Many varieties of hot dogs and hamburgers,absolutely anything to make you and your family happy!! To top it all off, the ice cream selection will absolutely beat most ice cream joints in the area or anywhere. Shakes,sundaes,cones in a delectable variety of flavors. Needless to say I will definitely make my way back here soon. For less than 8 bucks they have my vote as one of the best in the...
Read moreGot lunch here and took it back to the beach, the food was fine for fried beach food, but we had a very poor experience when we returned for ice cream a little later. I ordered the dairy free cookies and cream, and when the woman (presumably a manager) gave it to me she yelled at the cashier and then at me because apparently he forgot to charge the dollar per scoop up-charge for vegan ice cream (2 scoops in a small, so 2 dollars).
For his part, the cashier had been nothing but efficient and courteous both times I was there, he didn't deserve a tongue lashing, especially not over such a low dollar mistake that the computer should have handled in the first place (clearly he entered the right ice cream since the receipt had the vegan ice cream, why would the up-charge require a manual step?)
As part of her diatribe she also told us that the vegan ice cream costs more, 60 dollars per container, which is why the up-charge. While I can certainly appreciate that, I'm not clear how this was a customer's responsibility to know or to enforce, since it was not listed anywhere on the menu nor do I see it mentioned on the website or on Facebook.
As for the ice cream itself it seemed mediocre to me, but that may have just been the bad taste the manager left in my mouth. I know they won't care, but I...
Read moreNot happy! We started at Flo's Drive-In next door which we are accustomed to, however they were extremely busy and we were really hungry so we tried here. We placed a simple order of fish and chips and one order of six clam cakes. The fish was extremely greasy with thick batter and no flavor as we pulled the batter off and just tried to eat the fish. The french fries were mediocre and the clam cakes were absolutely in my opinion disgusting!! There weren't any chunks of clams in fact there weren't any clams the cake was the consistency of a fish stick everything was minced, they were extremely small and the flavor was something I've never had before I can't describe it. I will never come back here and I will never recommend this place. First and Last time. I have been to many seafood places throughout Rhode Island and by far what we experienced...
