The bun was delicious and they gave a hefty amount of lobster. Seasoned to perfection Clam cakes- 4 out of 10. Tasted more like a fish fritter with a lot of dough and filling. Baked stuff lobster - 9 out of 10. Would recommend and would have again. Seafood with a red pasta - 9.6 out of 10. My favorite. (I don't remember the name of this dish).

In my opinion, no trip to Oakland Beach is complete without stopping at Iggy's Doughboys & Chowder…read moreHouse. It's become a tradition for us. We usually have dinner next door at the restaurant, and before heading home we walk over to Iggy's to grab a box of fresh doughboys to take with us. Somehow there's always room for doughboys. One of the things I appreciate most is the consistency. It doesn't seem to matter how busy they are, the doughboys are almost always fresh out of the fryer. They're light, golden brown, and cooked just right. I've never had one that was burnt, greasy, or raw in the middle. They strike a nice balance between having a crisp exterior and a soft, fluffy center, and they're generously dusted with enough sugar to satisfy a sweet tooth without making a complete mess. The menu has plenty of classic Rhode Island favorites if you're looking for chowder, clam cakes, or other seafood, but for us it's always about the doughboys. They've become part of the ritual whenever we're at Oakland Beach, and it's one tradition we don't plan on changing anytime soon. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because this place is incredibly popular, especially during the warmer months. Depending on when you go, you may find yourself standing in line for a while. That's not necessarily a knock on the business because a busy restaurant usually says something about its reputation, but it's worth knowing if you're in a hurry. The prices are fair, the staff keeps the line moving as efficiently as they can, and the quality has remained remarkably consistent over the years. That's becoming increasingly rare. If you're spending the day at Oakland Beach and leave without stopping at Iggy's for doughboys, I think you're missing out on one of the area's best traditions. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Who doesn't love Chowdahhh or Doughboys? Iggys is a staple and while the line can get very long at…read moretimes it's so worth the wait. Fresh clam cakes and views of the water don't get any better. So this location is right inside Oakland Beach and while there's tons of parking it can get rough to park, so prepare to walk- but it won't be that far. They have the beach parking (which they charge for, not sure when they start) or try to park in the first few lots when you enter. They also have tables outside and inside to enjoy your meal. The employees are a hit or miss on who's going to be friendly or not so that's why they lose a star. And sometimes the chowder can taste a little unseasoned. But otherwise give it a go. It's a MUST especially if you're visiting Rhode Island!

This has recently been our favorite restaurant--but after this event, it's officially the only place we will host gatherings or recommend to others. From the moment we arrived, Mike and Crystal, the owners, exceeded every expectation. Crystal, in particular, made everyone feel completely at home. She was incredibly attentive and somehow in tune with even the smallest details--down to noticing who was eating, who needed something, and who might have been missed. That level of care is rare and meant so much to our entire family. I'll admit, I went into the evening a little nervous because I'm very detail-oriented and like to plan everything myself. But they went so far above and beyond anything I could have anticipated. They made the entire night feel effortless. One of the many thoughtful touches that stood out was that they even put up a special 70th birthday announcement on their TV screens--such a small detail, but it made the night feel even more personal and celebrated. They also went out of their way to accommodate our only vegan guest, preparing a special dish with thoughtful modifications so that they felt just as included as everyone else. It was seamless and incredibly kind. What made the night truly unforgettable, though, was how personal everything felt. They interacted with our kids, held their hands, and treated our family like their own. It didn't feel like we were at a restaurant--it felt like we were being hosted by people who genuinely cared. I cannot thank Mike and Crystal enough for making my mother-in-law's 70th birthday such a memorable, special experience. We are beyond grateful and will be back again and again.

Everybody at the host station was super friendly. Our waitress Leah was awesome. Very friendly, professional, and helpful. The inside bar is beautiful, and they did an amazing job outside with all the landscaping, sand area, it's beautiful. Huge gazebo bar, definitely gave me vacation vibes. Start it out with a few cups of chowder. It was delicious but way too many potatoes in my opinion. For my Mayne lunch I got the lobster casserole. I was a little nervous at $38 but it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The lobster was cooked perfectly, not too much breading, absolutely delicious. And it came with two sides. Also got a Caprese salad Which was fantastic Can't wait to return!

Let me just say that I was super impressed by the service and food at the Boardwalk Restaurant. Our party of 16 had a reservation and was seated immediately. Although the seating was a little tight, we were happy that they had made the effort to accommodate our large group. Our server was Marissa, and she was absolutely phenomenal! Marissa gave us just the right amount of attention, and was very prompt with getting water and bread on the table. She was super polite and patient with our mixed age party, and she made sure to note all of the special details in everyone's orders. Between the 16 of us, there were many cups of chowder and clamcakes ordered, as well as some baked fish, clams over linguini, fish & chips, potato skins, and a burger with fries. I only heard great comments on the food from everyone, and my potato skins, clamcakes, and Boardwalk Lemonade cocktail were all perfectly cooked, serverd, hot, and were delicious. Marissa was also super efficient with the check and everything on it was correct, which is no small feat when you have a party of 16. I would definitely ask to be in her section again the next time I go to Iggy's .

I sat on the second floor and every table had a QR Code where you are meant to view the menu, order your food, and pay the bill all online. No human interaction.

The online menu doesnt include any ingredients for their drinks so I asked for an actual menu, to which the menu didnt match what was online at all. The bartenders on the top were not helpful at all.

Shout out to our waitress, Lexi for giving us good advice on which flavors to go for, drinks to try and dessert! Great service! We're pretty well-versed in seafood boils so it was nice to see that there was one available. We decided to go with a pound of headless shrimp and half pound of black mussels with the captain Louis sauce, and medium level hot. We asked to sample the extra hot in the xx-hot, since we weren't familiar with their spices. Definitely loved the hot! We ended up tossing in the hot into the bag, mixed it up, it was a great mix! I'd come back for sure if I'm in the area again.
