He suggested the snail salad, which at first I was hesitant because ive never tried that, but didnt want to pass the opportunity. Bill was so nice and heated my food for me. I sat down in the deli to enjoy what I came for and I tried the snail salad first. It was so delicious with a lot of flavor. Reminded me of my mom's cole slaw but with snails. Next I tried the clam chowder and that was the best ive ever had. It was so delicious and milky. Lastly I tried the stuffies and they had a really good taste that ive never had before. It reminded me of stuffed crabs a little but the clam flavor was distinct. Im glad I made the trip from Storrs, CT to experience these foods.

We really enjoyed this place! My husband, baby, and I came on a weekday afternoon. We were in the…read morearea and we wanted to continue our pursuit of excellent local seafood. We started out with my husband's newfound favorite, the clam cakes. I appreciated the herbiness of the breadcrumbs they were fried in. My husband got the crab roll for his entree, and I did like the bite I was able to sneak of it. I really wanted the lobster roll but that $42 price tag turned me away quickly. Instead I got the fish and chips with pollock for my entree. I am always complaining about portion sizes. Not here, I was only able to finish around 1/3 of it. It is substantial! Not only was it a generous portion, but it was really nicely fried, and I loved the flaky salt on it. My one complaint is the sauces that you pay extra for. I got some piri-piri mayo and garlic aioli. Both of these were absolutely not worth it, grossly lacking in flavor. Don't waste your money on these and stick with ketchup. The staff was friendly, helpful, and as attentive as they could be from inside the food truck. The locale is super cute with a bunch of picnic tables out on a patio. The parking is super limited though so beware. Would definitely recommend!

They only offer outdoor seating, so I'd saying nice weather is key to enjoy a meal here, but we lucked out. My wife and I placed our order at the window, and waited for them to call our name. We split a cup of clam chowder (white) and a lobster roll. Food was ready pretty quickly and was delicious. The lobster roll was not only full, but it was packed with huge chunks of meat, very tasty, it was also served with French fries. The clam chowder was also tasty, with good flavor and decent chunks of clam inside. Prices here were a bit high, but the quality of the food was very high, and very fresh. Portions are decent, as we were able to share one lobster roll and a cub of chowder, and it was adequate. They also had live music playing to add a little ambiance If you find yourself in downtown Providence, I'd recommend this as a staple to check out.

Then once you taste them along the perfect, crispy exterior, it's a great deal. My main was the Dan Dan Noodles for $16. The beef was absolutely perfect. So juicy/tender and it had amazing flavor. Noodles were nice and soft. Overall, the dish is pretty spicy so if you can only handle a little bit of kick, I wouldn't get this. The lady working was very nice and friendly. There are some tables inside, but not much of a vibe. Mostly a takeout place.

We stopped in at 5 yesterday and were worried the restaurant would be busy, but we were sat immediately. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated with lots of nautical themes. Our waitress was lovely and explained the menu to us in detail. As it was our first time at a seafood boil she was very patient with all our questions. Ultimately I had the 2lb boil with 1lb of mussels, 1/2lb of shrimp, and 1/2lb of clams in the captain Loui sauce with a side of garlic noodles. Our waitress came back quickly with a bib, gloves, and a bucket for shells. Not long after our meals came out and let me tell you everything was excellent! The seafood was cooked perfectly, plenty of sauce, and even the corn and potato were out of this world. I ordered the sauce medium and it definitely had a nice kick to it. The garlic noodles had great flavor, a little clumpy but with a little of that captain Loui sauce added on top it fixed the problem. It's not cheap but for a once in a while special occasion treat I can not recommend this place enough!

I always get the pick 2 and select the shrimp with head on and mussels.

The only place I'll got 10 fingers in on a meal and let the sauce get all over my face (I usually hate eating with my hands).. it's so worth it. There's a flower vendor lady that walks around fed hill and she'll come by for your boyfriend to buy you flowers too ladies haha!

First of all, the restaurant itself is small but very cute, cozy, and full of lovely New England-y Sea-Themed decor. We were promptly seated and had our order taken for our drinks & food - I had heard good things about this place, so I got a decent amount of food items, including: Lobster Roll - Arguably the best lobster roll I've ever had so far in my life. The brioche bun for it was soooo fluffy, soft, and a perfect complement to the big, juicy chunks of lobster that were seasoned and buttered JUST right. Also came with hefty and well-seasoned fries. New England Clam Chowder - Came with salted pork and potatoes in addition to the quahog clams. It was deliciously creamy and soothing to slurp on and the chunks within were all so tender and a great contrast. Clam Cakes - Added them to the Clam Chowder order for an extra $8. Big, hefty, doughy balls that were perfectly fried outside and ooey gooey within. Fish & Chips - Big, hefty fish that was juicy & delicious with a great crunch on the outside! Similarly came with the 'chips', or the hefty, well-seasoned fries that the lobster roll also came with. Oh yeah, pardon me, forgetting to mention the drinks! We ordered the Briny Martini and the Harbor House Punch! The Martini was great for a stronger drink and the Punch was a nice cocktail for anyone preferring something sweeter and fruitier. When it came to the food, service, and dining experience...it couldn't have been better! Everything was incredibly delicious and definitely worth ordering. This memorable experience then reached exceptional circumstances, however, as while we were in the middle of dining here and enjoying our delicious food, there was a shooting occurring just up the street at Brown University. I wish to commend the staff at Dune Brothers, who looked out for mine and their other patrons' safety and sheltering us in their restaurant as we all nervously waited for more information on what exactly was going on that evening. Exceptional circumstances aside, this restaurant is also exceptional when it comes to the quality of their food and service. I highly recommend coming here if you're in Providence!

My boyfriend had the hot honey wings and he really liked them. He also had the calamari app which he also enjoyed. Critiques: seafood sizing was smaller than I expected (I got the muscles and clams. Shrimp was decent sized). I tried the Cajun sauce which was kinda thin and lacking to me compared to other places I been with more hearty, somewhat thicker sauce as there's a bunch of chopped garlic in it. Not my fave seafood boil place in Prov but def more affordable and more options. Freshness quality was ok.
