The food was delicious! The prices especially for seafood was fairly priced, though they had other options as well. Very clean and staff was well groomed and friendly! They even had a fire going on a chilly spring day. Was my first time there and I would highly recommend! Parking: They offer several spots on the street as well as have a parking lot. Wheelchair accessibility: Great ramp

I always love coming here. It had been quite a while since I was living in Florida for a bit, but so happy I came. It always just tastes like home. And everyone who they hire over many years of me going there has always been super friendly and gives great service. Parking: Not sure if there's a lot, I think there may be. I personally just always park on the road, usually spots near the front including handicap spots. Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp and outdoor seating. Some of the indoor seating may be difficult to navigate for wheelchair user in their busy times though.

Can't remember how I found this place so holy cow I'm so glad I did! Very cute shack near the water. My boyfriend got their Lobster roll, which he found to be fantastic. He was very thrilled about how much lobster he got for the price (6 ounces for about $24. Included fries, chowder and coleslaw). I got the Iggy burger which was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend both. And their doughboys were INCREDIBLE. They're bigger than you think, so 3 is perfect for two people. We will absolutely be coming back when we are in RI again

I used to live in this neighborhood (Oakland Beach) and would always see the line out the door daily, when in season. Iggy's is definitely a RI classic; growing up, everybody talked about Iggy's in the summer. On our last visit in Autumn, we had a lovely experience. I haven't seen the updated outdoor area since moving out of state. They had picnic tables and this area was spacious and perfect for a picnic.
There's a boardwalk, playground, and a small beach nearby, for when you're done eating and want to burn some calories. We ordered at the outdoor counter. Thankfully there was no line due to it being a weekday, early in the day, and not being summer or it would've been a different scene. The food came out fast, hot, and it was delicious. I had to get their clam cakes, clam chowder, and Del's lemonade (another RI classic). Dip the clam cake in the chowder and take in the nostalgic RI summer taste. Overall, an iconic spot that will for sure be part of the RI's past and future.

Stopped in for mom's birthday lunch. Had Hannah, (the Hannah that's been there for a while, not the new one that started this week) and she was amazing. Great personality and she got our food order correct. She kept mom stocked with her favorite bread which is still warm when served. It was the perfect lunch. Huge, thank you to Hannah for making my mom feel so special.

Such a cozy place in the cold season with the fireplace! I would love to come back in the summer and experience the busy season, seems like such a fun place. The food what absolutely delicious and with the price! Very close to the ocean as well, would be a nice lunch walk th the summer. Wheelchair accessibility: *I personally do not use a wheelchair* To the right of the building was a very beautifully build brand new wheel chair ramp that looked very accessible.

Such a guilty pleasure and they nail every menu item, hot, tasty, perfectly cooked. Other seafood "shacks " (btw, Narragansett location is no shack) can't compare and should take lessons from Iggy's on how to deliver great, hot, fried seafood fast. Take note, both the cake and chowder have considerable amount of clams. Someday I'll try the doughboys

The cashier was friendly and welcoming. The lobster roll is seasoned perfectly, buttery, and incredibly delicious with generous meat portions. The toasted bun adds a delightful crunch. The perfectly seasoned calamari is also generous in portion. While the lobster bisque lacked meat and flavor, the clam chowder was creamy and delightful. Surprisingly, the snail salad with vinaigrette dressing was tasty. The raspberry lime homemade soda leaned a bit too sweet for my taste. And, of course, the doughboys are a must-definitely gotta grab a dozen to go. Excited for their patio when it warms up!

This place has always been on my list and it was worth the trek! My favorites were the clam fritters and the sugared doughboys. Swoon worthy when piping hot. The hot and cold lobster rolls were decent but not my favorites- though the buns were nicely toasted with salted butter the way I like them. When in the area, I will be back.

After a week long road trip we stopped at Iggy's after deciding that we had time for one stop before having to make our flight home and we'd read that you couldn't leave RI without trying a stuffie (stuffed quahog). This place had the best reviews for one. It was definitely worth the stop and risking our flight. We ordered a little bit of everything and it was delicious, the stuffie being the best. While ordering we also learned that there are 3 versions of clam chowder in the NE region and that clear is the RI version.

I have been to this place many times before. One of the best Rhode Island's must eat at spot. Usually the line is out to the street but went there at the end of the season on week day their clam cakes and white chowder is one of the best if not the best in RI. Nice menu, seafood options and other items all reasonably priced. Close by the beach, we can't ask for more a happy customer here Parking: There's a small parking lot behind the building but there's also plenty of street parking.

2 ways to order here - there's a counter with all of the staple menu items where you can order & then find somewhere to sit, and an indoor restaurant with a larger menu. We ordered at the counter and found there were plenty of options. Clam roll and fish sandwich were both delicious: very crispy and flavorful. The house root beer was also great. The adjoining beach area is very nice as well

Super busy and very popular. it's great for a pit stop if you're looking for fried treats. The cost is terrifying unless you ready yourself. the lobster bisque at nearly 30 bucks a quarter, which was priced very high, but it is so worth it I've never had it's equal yet and placed at the top of best I've ever had. The fritters "clam cakes, " which drew us there, were good but slightly sandy. I don't mind some grit, but after dropping almost a Bennie, I'd like my food without the off-putting crunches. P.s. they only have ketchup out.
You need to ask for sauces like tartar which is Ken's. on the whole I'd go again but seriously bring lots of money. Wheelchair accessibility: As a disabled person who walks with a cane, the real hero was the ramp.

Great seafood! Ordered the lobster roll platter. It came with fries, Cole slaw and clam chowder. Also ordered the clam strips and some clam cakes. Food was delicious and food was made pretty quickly. I was given the wrong order at first but I brought it back to cashier and they fixed it pretty quickly only had to wait a few minutes. Definitely would visit again if in the area.

Lobster roll platter with New England Clam Chowder and fries, Fried Clam Strips, Clam cakes, Doughboys and locally made Root Beer! Food was delicious, filling and quick to come out We had a issue with our order at first, double lobster, no strips. We also ordered a 6 piece dough boy, but only received 3 with unexpected clam cakes. The order was fixed (partially) but it seems like workers need to slow down a bit . Seating is limited to about 8 picnic benches and 4 tables (covered) Free on street parking unless you are lucky enough to grab a spot at the restaurant

Spot is not too bad. Definitely hit the spot. It's not the best lobster roll in the world but it will do the job in my opinion. Line wasn't horrible and parking was accessible on the street and there's a few spots in the back of the restaurant.

Absolutely amazing food, friendly staff, and great service. Literally the best lobster roll I've ever had, and it's amazing for the price. 3.99 for a root beer is a lot though haha, but my girlfriend said it was the best she's ever had. The food was WAY better quality and more for your money compared to places like the Warf and other fancy places. 10/10

This place is really cool. Little beach out back. Totally has an 80s vibe to it. Teens working the counter, people walking around, beach out back where kids are playing and swimming. Cool vibe. Food is great too. Got Clam Cakes and Chowder with a Diet Pepsi and a Quahog for $20. Everything was really good. Their Clam Cakes are basically hush puppies but the batter they use has a little sweetness to it.really good stuff! Make sure to try the Quahog! It's a breaded clam mix served in a Quahog shell. It's REALLY good! Everything about this place was fun.

Our local seafood restaurants are closed for the season but we were in the mood for cakes and chowder. Haven't been here since 2019 so decided to go for the ride. Ordered the white chowder which was thick and chunky with lots of clams and potatoes. Clam cakes are awesome, light and fluffy with real clams inside. I got the stuffy which was just okay. The texture was more like bread crumbs and lacking in spices. Next time we will try the red chowder and definitely get more clam cakes.

It's that time again. I came to this joint during my recent trip to the New England area. Since seafood is the thing I chose this place to suit. I got the white chowdah w/clam cake combo. The chowdah at this place was bomb duders. I'm a big fan of clam chowder and this place nailed it. Lots of pieces of clam and the potato was on point by not being overwhelming. The clam cakes were soo good too. Great flavor and a doughy texture to boot.
I dipped them in the chowdah which just made them even better. Out of the two joints I tried during my visit that had the cakes, I most definitely preferred these! Parking: Lots of parking lots. 3 total, I believe.

Iggy's is just amazing! They have 2 spots located here, one a walk up and order and then a sit-down restaurant. We heard good things and were not disappointed at all. Everything we got drinks, stuffies, steamers, Chowder, Lobster roll, clam cakes and shakes were delicious! Nothing was to overly expensive. Our service was tip top, very friendly and attentive. Lots of souvenir things you can grab as well. shirts, hats, etc.
Great location with parking available in their lots. Right on the water, so the view is really nice as well. There was an outside bar in a little gazebo that was cute. Good sized deck with outdoor seating. We will definitely be coming back to Iggy's or hit up their website, and they will ship ya food and gifts as well!

On a Sunday afternoon, 100 degrees out, we decided to stop at Iggy's for lunch. Beautiful view of the ocean from their patio. Walked up to the window on the sidewalk and ordered 6 clam cakes, 1 iggy burger and 1 normal burger. Iggy burger was delicious! Clam cakes are good, soft inside and crispy outside - only wish they had more clams! We paid about $18 for everything. Overall, I'll definitely be back!

I'm the biggest fan of fried clams, but I have to say the Calamari was my favorite from Iggy's. I always order them well done and with the red sauce on the side. It's a big portion and for a great price. If you don't want to wait in the long lines, you can always order ahead and walk up to the blue tent to pick up your order. Lines can get reallllllly long!

A popular, near or far, year round experience! The food and the quality is authentic clam shack and seafood fare. There are a few non seafood options to cater to kids and non seafood fans. The prices are moderate with $$ out of 5. The view from inside eating or outside eating is equally serene and wonderful with beach views. This is a staple for my family and I when we are in Rhode Island! Highly recommended to all.
