First time coming to Iggy’s and we opted to dine in at the boardwalk. Plenty of parking lots in the area to park and was able to get a table on the outside covered patio area. Very nice views of the ocean and sail boats. We started with the New England clam chowder and it lives up to the stellar reviews. It’s top 5 best I’ve had. Clam cakes are also delicious and some of the best I’ve had. The entrees we got were equally delicious. The fried scollops were not greasy and had very light breading. It was not on the menu but you could get anything fried our waitress said. The fried whole belly clams were good but a lot of the bellies were small. The prices were not bad. The lobster casserole was amazing and full of lobster and butter. However, I didn’t get a lot of stuffing on top but it was rich and filling nonetheless. Finally the mini basket of doughboys came with 6 mini doughboys and caramel and chocolate dipping sauce. So yummy. Mixed drinks, beer, and wine to wash it all down were great. We even went to the chowder house next door for more doughboys to go. Sign up for the email list and they will send you coupons. We had coupons to get a free appetizer and mini doughboys and at the chowder house buy 6 get 6 free! Overall, our first experience was great and the service was excellent. Can’t wait to go back!

We have been coming here for 28 years. I brought my kids here I brought my grandkids here and my mother-in-law and father-in-law live down the street quarter mile. The last few trips to Rhode Island we were unable to get to Iggy's so it's been a couple of years. We ordered the fish and chips, we ordered red chowder, white chowder and of course clam cake. To say our hearts broke is an understatement. The clam cakes used to be full of clams and had odd shapes because they were hand dropped.. these look definitely balled up like meatballs; like they were shaped.. if not frozen and then reheated. Hardly any clams in the clam cake. My husband was excited when he found one clam chunk; sarcastically excited. I remember boasting about how you could stick a spoon straight up in the chowder..not this one it was runny and watery and disgusting. It didn't even taste like clams it tasted like potato soup..barely. The red chowder wasn't even red it was like a mix between clear and red but someone decided to throw in three little canned tomato pieces. The baked scallops were soggy and disgusting and the french fries, even though I know they come frozen, we're nothing to boast about either. The fish n chips disappointed. It used to be a fish that barely fit in the container and now it's a fish that could fit in one side portion of the container. The baked scrod was not bad but it just looked ick. Iggy's threw a small piece of fish in with some squishy side vegetables and some rice pilaf that look like it came out of a bag premade. All of the lemons they gave us were disgusting and smelled like soap and were oily; so we had to throw them out. The only pictures I could take was right before my husband dumped it all down the sink. We had guests for lunch who had never had Iggy's and we must have boasted and boasted about it for hours before it arrived. We spent well over $240 on this order and I feel like we got ripped off big time by Iggy's. We will not come back anymore. I can understand the price hikes and I can understand the economy but I cannot understand changing recipes that made this place famous. I now feel 100% confident that my white chowder is better than theirs any day of the week. And that is something that I would never have said over the two plus decades we have been coming here. Is so sad when a childhood memory turns into an adult nightmare. Do better Iggy's... Just do better. Economy be damned don't screw with the chowder and the clam cakes. After all that's what made you famous and that was the original menu. -Sad and disappointed, Local Oakland Beacher. They're so-called red chowder is picture here and my mother-in-law sink. I should have just set my money on fire.

In short, there’s nothing about this place that’s horrible but there’s also nothing that’s very impressive. A very standard place and a confident 3 stars. We had one member of our party who showed up 15 minutes early and asked to put our names in, but the hostess said she was not allowed to put a name in unless the whole party was present. When we arrived she said we would have to wait 15 minutes for them to clear a table and get it ready… really seems like it would have been easier for everybody involved if they could have just listened to the first member of my party when he told them we were coming but whatever, probably a stupid policy by the owners and not the hostess’ fault. Once we were actually seated the service was good and our waitress was very polite and fairly on top of things. The food is overpriced in my opinion. Most of the main seafood entrees are around $40 with some in the high 20’s and things like fish & chips for $22. Portions are fine but there’s just nothing about the food that’s mind blowing and warrants the higher than average price tag. That being said there was nothing wrong with it either, all tasted fine and the seafood seemed fresh. Chowder and clam cakes are exactly the same as the normal Iggy’s and came out nice and hot. They also have a pretty good bar which I included a photo of and a REALLY nice outdoor area with an additional bar that you can sit at when the weather permits. Overall, if you’re in the mood for seafood in the area and have the money this is a perfectly fine choice and you won’t leave hungry. A little better service, little better food, little lower price and it would be a 4 or 5 star.

I'm so very sad. After years and years of going to Iggy's all year long, they have finally pushed past my price point. My boyfriend's seafood platter was okay $38. My salmon, coleslaw, and truffle fries were okay $31 + $5 upcharge for switching from regular fries to truffle fries. $4 for seltzer water (not bottled). $6 for a single scoop of ice cream. We go to Iggy's all year long. We use the BOGO coupon, like all the other locals during the off season. I used to like to go down there and take a quick dip in the ocean, then sit at the gazebo and order a salad with grilled salmon on top during the summer. We would sometimes swing by to get clamcakes. (This year, there were hardly any clams in them. My boyfriend was going to stop the owner when he walked by, but I asked him not to.) With the BOGO, the bill was $60, not including taxes and the tip. Don't get me wrong, their calamari is the BEST I've ever had, but the rest of the food was visually unappealing and was something I could have made a lot cheaper at home. From now on, we'll only go when it's nice out and just split an order of calamari, which we will eat outside. We'll also bring our own water. I'll miss you, Iggy's, and your awesome waitstaff!

I truly wish I could give it a 5 start rating. However in fact I'd rate it 3.5 tops if it was possible. The location is awesome, the atmosphere is amazing, the views are great, the staff is really attentive. Good selection of beer, wine and cocktails. But the food is just subpar. We so much looked forward to trying their versions of the true staples of the New England cuisine. We took the chowder sampler, and out of 4 options only lobster bisque was actually good. The classic "white" chowder as they called it, was basically the same that you can buy at Dave's. The red and clear chowders were veggie soups without a hint of clams. Clam cakes that come with it were decent. The most disappointing part was their hot lobster roll. The best part of it was the bun! The meat was chewy and tasted old. They skipped celery and mayo too, which could've helped to add some spark. But it is definitely not worth $30. We also had 2 oysters as appetizers and mine was kind of crunchy and cold, as if it was frozen before. Could it be that it sat for too long on the ice? I'm not sure.
