Best burger on the island by far. Owner is terrific - an old school comfort food heaven. Will definitely be back!!!

In Block Island near Ballards, they only offer outdoor seating and encourage online orders. For a casual take out type place, it was quite pricey, considering the sandwiches come with no side. I ordered a Hot Shot Chicken sandwich, they offered a GF bun but I could detect no seasoning on the chicken, and there was no sauce on the sandwich. I ended up putting ketchup and mayonnaise on it. My kids enjoyed the mozzarella sticks and the cheeseburger. There were no fries on the menu, and my son was disappointed that there was no bathroom. Service was friendly, the picnic tables were a hit with the kids. (I don't understand all the cake pix, I saw no cakes in this establishment)

The place is quite big yet quite small. The chefs are amazing. As packed as the place was, they…read morekept up with it. They work in front of basically half the tables and always keep their cool. With as busy as they are, they don't have an enormous menu and I feel that it's better that way. I'm not sure how often they change the menu as the online page showed slightly different meals. The wait staff are plentiful and it's rather amazing how well they keep up. The way my family and I were treated upon arrival was extremely disappointing. The male host was unnecessarily disrespectful and unwelcoming from the moment we walked in, despite us being polite and having every intention of dining there. After getting a reservation online and returning, the female host/manager was also a little rude and dismissive toward us at first. That only added to the uncomfortable atmosphere we felt. Even the bartenders didn't acknowledge us. Staff would catch eye contact with us and just keep going. Thankfully, the experience improved once we were seated. Our waiter (Cam) was genuinely kind, professional, and attentive throughout the meal, and the food itself was excellent. The chefs clearly know what they're doing, because every dish was prepared beautifully and tasted amazing. It's unfortunate that such strong food and service from the waitstaff are overshadowed by the poor attitude at the front of the restaurant. A little basic respect and hospitality toward guests would make a huge difference. Growing up in the hospitality service (restaurant) then working in retail to aviation. We're all taught from the beginning. A person walks in, greet them with a smile and let them know you'll be with them shortly. Not ignore them then to be slightly rude. We all understand being busy. But don't take it out on the customers. Especially when they didn't cause your stress. I'm giving them a high score because Cam and the chefs were amazing. Even the chefs said goodnight to us and thanked us.

Very good food. Cocktails are top notch. The burger was delicious but the lobster rigatoni was not…read moreso good.

The patio outside is really clean and comfy, and it's a great spot to have lunch. What really caught my attention was the Peking Duck Quesadilla , it was AMAZING. The flavors all worked so well together, and I would definitely order it again. One thing that was a bit of a problem was that it was kind of hard to eat, everything kept falling apart, but it was so good that it didn't really matter. We got a bunch of other things too, like General Tso's Chicken, coconut rice, crab rangoons, coconut shrimp, and a shrimp sushi roll. everything was really good and fresh. The coconut rice was a great side dish, and the crab rangoons were gone in no time. The drinks were also really good, One thing though, they didn't put a lot of liquor in them, but they were still fun to drink. Our server was really great, and did a fantastic job, especially since we had a big group of 12 people. We get that it can be tough to handle a table that size. The only problem we had was with the timing of the food. Some of us got our appetizers and main courses before the others had even gotten their appetizers. It wasn't a huge issue, but it's something the kitchen could work on to make sure big groups feel like they're eating together. It would be great if they could improve that, so everyone can enjoy their meal at the same time. I would definitely go back to TigerFish. It's a great choice if you want something different from the usual Block Island food. They have really tasty food, great drinks, and a nice quiet atmosphere.

Special, which had an amazing spicy bite to them, and were a perfect start to our meal. For entrées, we tried the seared tuna salad and the special shrimp and feta salad. The tuna was cooked to perfection and was packed with flavor. The wasabi vinaigrette provided the perfect compliment- delicious! The shrimp and feta salad was a generous portion and again, the shrimp were cooked very nicely and had a great combination of flavors. Our only complaint was that someone decided to fill the potholes and level off the driveway during lunch hour, which kicked up quite a bit of dust and was extremely noisy. Not optimal timing.

I updated for extra lobster. Sooo good. Now the service. Personable and attentive. Our waitress was genuinely pleasant. I'm sorry I forget her name. She's tall with dark hair and you will know it's her from welcoming smile. I'm not a drinker and she had the bartender make me the best margarita mocktail, after I told her to surprised me. The reason for the 5 stars is we came back the next day for lunch and they were busier and the service and the food was the same. True consistency. We usually come in the summer. I have my fav restaurants on the island. They are is now in my rotation. See you there.
