We are from New England and we heard about this place while visiting our dad in Naples. The original is based in Rhode Island where we used to spend our summers. There is plenty of outside seating and about 8 tables inside. You order and pickup at the same window. It feels like a seafood place/shack that would be beachside back in New England. We ordered the "clam chowda cup" (say it out loud). You can order two versions: creamy or classic clear. We opted for the creamy. It was the right choice. The soup had a decent amount of clams. It was not overwhelmed by potatoes; which often happens to "chowdas". "Jo not Flo" was very pleasant and helpful as we were deciding our order. We got there just in time as several groups came in behind us. We ordered clam strips to share. The batter was light and flavorful. In hindsight we wished we had gotten the whole belly clams to try. We read a few reviews that loved the burger so we ordered a kid burger to share. We were not that excited about it. The main reason was that it was overcooked. We ordered two Narragansett (RI) beers on tap which also made it feel like we were at a beach side seafood shack. There were many things on the menu. It seemed to have something for everyone. We enjoyed it and would go back if we lived here. I guess it will have to be when we come back to visit. :)
Owner is super friendly! This is truly a small local gem here in Naples. I had the fish and chips for lunch, and the serving size was quite large for the price -- I couldn't even finish it all. Inside dining is limited, but there is outdoor seating available if you prefer to sit and enjoy your meal. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking to support a local spot.
The creamy was good. They were out of clam strips so I got scallops and they were delicious. The staff were friendly. It's a small place, but clean.
Stopped at Flo's on a weeknight for dinner. It's a no frills little roadside seafood place with counter service. I had a cup of the white chowda to start. It was ok but had a thin watery broth. Not exactly a NE clam chowder. I had a small order of fried clam strips, which ended up being a pretty large plate. They were also ok-ish, fairly greasy and not very flavorful. Unfortunately a pretty underwhelming experience at Flo's.
Flo's is an unassuming fried seafood spot off the road with a small footprint but a big punch. The inside walls are lined with pictures and memorabilia from Rhode Island and the regulars are excited to be here. I wanted to order the fried clams when I heard that was the specialty but sadly they were out. We saw some other people come in after we had ordered and also asked for the same thing and left visibly upset when they heard the news. I thought it was pretty funny and a testament to how good those clams probably are. The staff was nice, but you receive a beeper and retrieve the food yourself. Do not expect table service. We ordered the fried oysters and two cheeseburgers, and they were both delicious. The cheeseburgers were extremely underrated and may have even been better than the fried oysters. Fried oysters can be very hit or miss, but these were a hit. We were so full and satisfied, when we were done we rolled out of there on our sides with wide smiles.
On a hot Sunday afternoon we passed a nondescript restaurant, with a bunch of people spilling out the door. My interest was piqued. A quick google search brought me to Flo's Clam Shack, an iconic seafood stop in Middletown RI. The business has been going strong since the 1930s. The outpost in Naples, is new. The beauty of retirement, in my husband's case semi-retirement, is that our time is our own. So we headed out mid-afternoon Tuesday, avoiding the weekend crowds, to see what the hoopla's about. Not sure how to proceed -- obviously, we had to get clams -- we ordered two platters. $29.95 for fried belly clams, $19.95 for clam strips. The belly clams reminded us of oysters, with soft insides. We preferred the strips. (For those of us who remember Howard Johnson's clam strips from the 1970s, Flo's are infinitely better!) T ordered a cup of creamy "chowda" (as they call it.) The broth had a distinct fishy taste -- obviously the clams -- and it wasn't particularly creamy. I warned him, based on fellow Yelpers' assessments, that there would be too many potatoes. T didn't care. He enjoyed the soup. Note to self: next time -- and there will be a next time -- we'll share one platter of clam strips (who needs all those fries?!) an order of calamari, plus my husband's chowder. My parting suggestion: if you get a fried platter, plan to eat in the restaurant when the food is hot and crisp, straight from the fryer. Unless you live seconds away, takeout isn't likely to be as good.
I asked for a 'real Florida fried fish shack' and this is certainly it! You walk up outside to order from the friendliest woman I've met here. Then go inside to pick up your food and sit. We had fried clams, clam cakes and chowder. All delicious, fresh and well prepared. The place is cute, decorated with magazine covers and old signs.
Saturday afternoon lunch date! The minute we walked in we got 5 star service from the lady at the counter. We were a little indecisive and decided to share a platter and she right away offered to throw in an extra coleslaw and an extra clam cake so we could each have one. When I told her we didn't need the extra clam cake because I wasn't keen on those, she instead threw in a cup of clam chowder instead! And then on top of it all when the meal came we got two clam cakes anyway! She was a true Gem and I wanted to take her home and keep her! (In a good way people, not as a captive!). Now for the food! Clam chowder was great. Full Of potatoes and a hint of lemon I think. I enjoyed it. Hubby got a lobster roll with butter. I don't usually like those but I'm telling you, this was amazing! No mayo, just lobster and butter on a toasted roll! They did not skimp! Which is good cuz it's not a cheap place. We also shared the fisherman's platter which contained fried clams, clam strips, shrimp, calamari, scallops And a piece of fish! The batter was light and delicious! Would not be good for takeout unless you plan to eat it in the car immediately, so just plan to eat there! Two people Can share the platter easily which the counter lady warned us was the case but it was our first time there. I recommend checking it out! Small Place, counter service! Outdoor seating available. Soda is canned so no refills. No bar but they have beer and wine. There is a kids menu and they have a few sandwich options for non seafood lovers. Burgers and dogs available.
After a long day of fishing with the Grands (For you that don't know slang that's Grandkids) It was a really cool place and the ppl were extremely friendly. The food was really good my granddaughter got chicken fingers and she gave it two thumbs up and the boy got fish and chips which was outta left field he usually sticks to Hot Dogs but the pictures on the wall got him thinking and he pulled the switch up he gave it two thumbs up . I had the fish and chips I as well gave it two thumbs up. All in all good food
WM Review M: Ok so I like the vibe in this place. We're from Rhode Island and felt like we were back in Newport or Bristol. This place has won some awards and I can see why. I was surprised by the generous portions- Huge piece of fish with the fish and chips! We could have split one almost. It was a bit greasier than I like so I removed some of the batter on mine. The clam cakes were great. 3.75/5 W: I really like this place. You walk in and down to the front to order your food. Woman taking our order was kind and happy. I always get bummed when you order fish and it's a small portion - was not the case here! It was very good- a bit greasy (compared to others I've had). I really loved the clam cakes- probably more than the fish. They were so good our kids even ate them- Flo's is a good spot and a great deal for how much food you get. 4.25/5 Avg 4/5

We've been to flos twice now and have had a great experience both times. They have Friday specials which include $12 fish and chips and let me tell you, the fish is delicious, light, and flaky. We've had their lobster roll, my husband wished it had more condiments, their burger which was great, and their clam chowder which I enjoyed. The place is small and if not paying attention you could def miss. There is seating indoors and outdoors. The staff is really helpful and nice and the food came out in a timely manner. Sad to see the reviews and read that they are inconsistent but we've lucked out and had the best experience. read more

The meal was amazing and at a fraction of the price you would pay just up the road on 5th Avenue. I am a retired ship captain, but I began my career working on fishing boats out of southern New England, so I know a thing or two about fresh seafood. Flo's Clam Shack has the best seafood that I have ever had. I had the Rhode Island Clam Chowder (made with a clam broth base, but no added cream) and the Fish and Chips. Both were amazing. Others in our group had the regular chowder (with the added cream), fried clams, and fried scallops. The kids had hamburgers. We also had a couple of orders of the Greek salad, which we shared since it was so big. Everyone was astounded at the quality of the seafood and how well it tasted. The staff was great. There is plenty of parking. On weekends, you can park in the lot next door. Overall, Will, the owner, came out and greeted us. It turns out that he has worked his way up from busboy to cook to general manager of the original two Flo's Clam Shacks in Rhode Island. read more

incredible fresh seafood at Flo's clam shack. You can tell they take pride in the quality of what they're putting out. I had never tried whole belly clams and I loved them! Super clean clam flavor. The fryer dredge was super light and did not take away from the seafood flavor at all. And best of all the deep fryer is CLEAN! The clear clam chowder was so good! Rich clam flavor with a little bacon, hit the spot! Also don't skip the hot dog! It's a natural casing hot dog and has the signature snap! It was all Delicious! read more

Having lived 4 years in RI we would often jump on our dinghy with our grand daughters Julia and Alexa and motor over to Flo's. It was always a great lunch. Flo's has opened up in the old Bam's and we finally got there for lunch today. It was outstanding. Rich had the fish sandwich lightly fried and flakey. I had the scallops. So yummy. Lightly fired and so tender. We also got a gift of clam cakes. Another childhood memory. So Good. Can't wait to try the lobsta roll when we return. Also the beer was a Narragansett and they had Dell's lemonade. RI classics. We will definitely return. read more
