Did a day trip to Newport, RI. This place was on my ToDo list. Ordered 3 Spicy Stuffies, the Kung Po Calamari and the Whole Belly clams (large) - came out to just over $75. Drive home was 4 1/2 hours. Thank god I brought a cooler lol. 20 minutes in the oven and it was time to eat. Everything was absolutely yummy. Wife liked the calamari and I thought the whole belly clams were delish - order was huge but I'm sure that's why the bill was so high. Next time I'll need to dine in to enjoy it to the fullest. read more

Anthony's Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

One of my favorite places to come for a lobster roll! Always fresh, delicious and loaded with meat. I had so many lobster rolls over the summer and this past weekend we went and I have to say that I am disappointed that they no longer give you coleslaw and a pickle with your meal!! Whyyyyy!!! lol But they still get 5 stars because it's that good! Clam cakes are delicious as is their chowder and fried clams too! Can't go wrong here! Bring back the pickles and coleslaw!!!!!!!!!! read more

A group of us came here for dinner on a Friday evening! Loved it here! The atmosphere is nice with lots of seating, some inside and outside. The workers were we nice. Lots of parking available. You order and then find a table. I ordered the lobster roll and an appetizer. They were both great! The portions were great and a very fair price! Great lobster and filling! Diner drive in and dives was also here which was so good!! Food came out in about 15 minutes! Great experience! read more

Wonderful local seafood restaurant we found on vacation. Friendly staff and food was perfect.

By far the best calamari I've ever had. I would drive back all the way from New York just for it because it's soooo good. I dream about it too sometimes. We also ordered the crab cakes and fish sandwich with cod. I'm not a huge fan of crab, but I could actually eat a whole order of them. The only thing I regret is not ordering more kung pao calamari. read more

This place was pretty good overall. We walked in and ordered, and our food came out very quickly. The calamari was really good (the one with the thai sauce and peanuts). That dish was definitely the highlight of the meal. We got a lobster roll and chicken tenders (small) and they were both good. The honey mustard was excellent! read more

There is no trip to Rhode Island without eating fresh seafood at Anthony's Seafood. It's a very simple place with great food! You enter and line up to their counter and order what you want. Their menu is simple but make sure you read their daily specials written on the board to the right of the line. Don't forget to get their clam chowder and their fish and chips! Their lobsters are the best. Sweet and tender never rubbery. Lemon butter is provided but their home made vinegar is the best too! You will never be disappointed when you go to Anthony's. Great place and very good seafood read more

Fresh seafood made to order! A few friends and I visited Anthony's after walking the Cliff Walk in Newport. This place is absolutely phenomenal. Everyone enjoyed their food and raved on how well it was made. Some of my friends said: "They know how to fry seafood very well" "Best seafood I've had in RI" "I'll drive from Providence to Middletown just for their fish" I ordered the lobster roll. It was superb--fresh lobster on a roll! There was entirely more lobster than initially anticipated and *today's* market priced lobster roll was only $29 (w/ taxes). We werd given numbered tabs and the staff brought our meals outside to our table. Do not be fooled by the outside! This place is more than worthy of a try. The service was great and our wait was approximately 5-10 minutes for our food. Next time I hold to try their raw oysters. They were, unfortunately, out by the time we arrived. read more

Food is the BOMB. I'm a seafood lover and I've had the best seafood from Maine, Seattle, New Orleans and all the way to Alaska, Anthony's is up there! One of the best clam chowder I've ever had... full of clams, rich and just so delicious. Had their swordfish with herbed butter, so fresh and so good. We also had their fried oysters, fried whole belly clams.. huge portions, super fresh, not too heavy on the batter and perfectly fried. Seafood bake is great as well. They're not open for dine in right now but they're busy with take out orders. If I can describe to you how good the food is, I'll run out of words. LOL. I wasn't able to take pictures of the food because we devoured it as soon as we got it.. luckily I was able to take a pic of the swordfish. Just go to Anthony's and try it. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars! read more

Came for lunch with my wife and daughter after church. The restaurant side opens at 12 and we were first in line. We had a dozen variety oysters. Fresh from the water, shucked on the way to the table. So clean and good. Being from the gulf coast area I love how clean and salty the oysters are here. I had the spicy stuffy - great. We split the flounder and chips - the fish was very crispy. Yum. My daughter had the lobster roll. I normally prefer hot buttered, but this was the best lobster salad lobster roll ever. Lots of big hunks of meat and the bread was split thick buttery and toasty. Yum! Give it a try! read more

Saw this place on a Youtube video and really wanted to try their lobster rolls. We ended up liking everything but the lobster roll. After trying a bunch of lobster rolls in Maine, this was meh compared to those. However, the fish tacos were really good. The fish was crispy, not dry and they were very generous with the amount of fish per taco. The fried calamari was just how I like it, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, really yummy with the hot peppers. And... the best for last, the Portuguese fish chowder!! It was sooooo good! Had pieces of fish, shrimp, scallop, chourico (chorizo). Must get!!! Service was good and food came out super fast. Everything is packed in to-go containers as they are short staffed. Overall, great place!! read more

2 lobster rolls with fries, 2 bottled drinks, and a side of coleslaw is $60 even. Worth it! Sadly, the lobster rolls don't come with coleslaw on the side in addition to fries, you have to order it separately... But damn that coleslaw is so good. Anthony's is exactly what I need... Except they're not doing free water this year read more

Good chilled lobster roll. The ri clam chowder was lacking in the clams. ~70% potato. The French fries were excellent. Be aware that not all of their seafood is domestic. read more

We were looking for a quick bite for lunch and thought that some chowder and a stuffed quahog sounded good. Hearing that Anthony's had awesome stuffies, we decided to give them a try. Their chowder is unique, and certainly not bland. Loaded with potatoes and quahogs, it was certainly creamy, but not super thick. I thought that it was quite good. The stuffed quahog was delicious, as we were told by a friend. It was very flavorful, loaded with clams and chourico. I tried the mild, but might have to try the spicy one for comparison the next time. read more

Liked this place a lot. Food was served out quickly and tasted great. Lobster rolls were delicious and full. Clam chowder was solid. Littleneck clams were fantastic, very fresh. Chicken tenders were actually really good too, better than your avg tender. Overall worth coming back and trying some more items. read more

Look, people who took off stars b/c "their minds weren't blown" either forgot we're in a global pandemic or thought ordering fish and chips for take out was a good idea. 1. Stop being withholding (Lucille Bluthe, anyone?). 2. They're gonna get soggy sitting in a takeout box, okay?? It's gonna happen, either eat the fish n chips in your car or order something else! Anthony's is amazing. I ate here a couple times two years ago and haven't stopped thinking about their kung pao calamari. So now that I live in Newport, I'm living off of kung pao calamari. My waistline wishes I was joking. Their salmon fish tacos are also absolutely delicious. Same with the chowder. Honestly, I've eaten like 36 fish tacos and haven't tried anything else because they're THAT good. One day...maybe. COVID procedures are excellent here - employees are masked up and takeout is a breeze. Takeout is packed really nicely with all the sides and even napkins. Oh, and when/if they open for dining, their fish and chips are actually really tasty. read more

We went for the lobster rolls! They had a sign covering that selection stating there was a shortage of lobsters... in Rhode Island?!? So we decided on scallops. Portions were definitely plentiful. But the clam chowder lacked clams. The scallops were bland, dry and covered with plain bread crumbs. We had to request melted butter to make them flavorful enough to eat after paying $28 per each meal. The ketchup was generic for the fries and gross. No one stopped at our table to see if we needed anything or to inquire if things were to our liking. Would not visit again EVER!! read more

Been going here 15 years, steadily has become very average at best over the years. USED to be a place to go out of the way for.

We have visited here for two separate occasions. The first we bought seafood from their case. It was quite possibly the best scallops I have ever tasted! So good and so fresh! We also stopped last night for dinner and it was great! I love the added specials and they even cooked it with my modifications. The vegetable of the day was cooked just right. The fish tacos looked great (my husband enjoyed them). The kids chicken nuggets looked yum! Everyone was so nice and quick to clear any empty trays from our table. read more

Ounces. How many times have you gone to a restaurant and been disappointed with the serving size? Well, you can never be at Anthony's. Maybe because it has an attached fish market selling fresh seafood by the pound, but the restaurant menu lists their portion size, so there is no guessing. I have gone many times, but this time I ordered a small whole belly clam basket. It was listed as 6 ounces, and it had a price on the menu !!!! None of this MKT price guessing. The clams were soft, sweet, and just enough to fill my desire for fried clams. The French fries, slightly overcooked, were still crispy and tasty. If you are having your meal to go, skip the line and go around the corner to order at the take-out register. If the parking lot is full, hang tight. The turnover is high, and there will be a space in a few minutes. read more

Solid seafood joint in Newport. The clam chowder was great and the lobster roll was stuffed with lobster. We opted for the cold rolls and weren't disappointed. I appreciated the table service and friendliness of the staff. The large parking lot is great as I imagine this place gets busy with a store front and restaurant. I'm not a huge seafood consumer outside of lobster and oysters, but if their menu is as good as the lobster roll, you can't go wrong. read more

We were visiting the Providence - Newport area in late December. It rained all day and put us in the mood for some delicious seafood. We wanted to eat where the locals eat. So we headed to Anthony's, which was featured on Food Network. There is a fresh fish counter for take home as well as a dining counter that offers a variety of seafood appetizers, fried and steamed options. Dine-in customers will have their food taken to their table. The dining space is homey and on a first come basis. The service was welcoming and quick. We recommend the Kung Pao calamari that was deep fried in a light batter and tossed in kung pao sauce. The fried seafood platter for two served with fries had scallops, shrimp and calamari. The apps and entrees did not disappoint. Anthony's is a gem. Make sure to visit when you're in the area. read more

If you in Newport, skip the tourist spots and come here. Great food, fun ambiance, and reasonable prices.

The food was simple but great. Not too greasy or overly breaded. Seafood we definitely fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful. The one negative is the size of the lobster roll. The picture is deceptive, we had 4 people in our group order it and they were all caught off guard by the size. It would be awesome if they offered mixed plates (shrimp and fish, fish and oysters, etc.) besides the huge plate with everything read more

Knowing how much good seafood Aquidneck island has, I would imagine that people in the business would be really conscious about the quality of their product and the diner's experience. Unfortunately the hype we heard about Anthony's was far from our experience here. We brought my dad who was visiting from California and was on a one man mission to eat his weight in lobster rolls. When we arrived, we thought there would be a wait, but we ordered at the counter and were seated almost immediately. The interior is kitchy and seafood oriented, with a large poster of the Mayor of Flavortown deeming them to be good. Our food arrived very unceremoniously, with the server plopping them down so hard most of our dished slid across the plates and the chowders sloshed from the cups. I found the chowder to be gross, after I bit into a barely cooked piece of bacon that was still slimy and soft and really colored my experience. The entrees were ok but not great. Dad inhaled his lobster roll but even he said other rolls in the area were better, and even with more lobster for less money. My crab legs were puny, overcooked and frostbitten, and definitely not worth the cost which I thought was ridiculous. Overall, terrible service, little to no ambiance, low quality attention to detail on food and presentation, and seriously, how hard is it to fully cook chowder bacon?! Seriously. Definitely not putting this on our "return to" list, because we can get more and better quality seafood at many other places locally. Will not be returning. read more

Couldn't leave RI without writing a review for Anthony's Seafood! Absolutely delicious, fresh seafood! We greatly enjoyed the lobster rolls, clam chowder (so flavorful!), fried shrimp, fish and chips, tartar sauce, the half and half (lemonade and iced tea) was the best without being overly sweet! We ate here twice on our short stay and this last time I ordered the baked Nantucket something that had cod, shrimp, scallops with bacon bits, bread crumbs and an incredible lobster sauce! Great cozy place with friendly staff. First place we'll visit when we return to RI is Anthony's! read more

There are many seafood options in and around the Newport/Middletown area. But as with most tourist-driven towns, it can be difficult to decide which are actually good and which are tourist traps. We were staying in the Middletown area and had NOT had our seafood fix yet. We knew many popularly reviewed places were back toward the Wharf and did not care to drive in that direction only to drive back (probably hitting traffic both ways). I was glad I googled the area and was able to find Anthony's. It was only about 5 minutes or so from our hotel and they closed at 8 pm on a Friday. I arrived there at about 7 PM ish to grab some take out to bring back to the hotel. The parking lot seemed on the fuller side, but there were still spaces available. I would imagine Friday night would be one of their busier nights. There are some tables and seating outdoor in front of the space. You enter into the seafood market, which was already closed at that time. The market was big and seemed to have (from their price lists and signs) lot of options. You then wait in line (of there is one at the time) for your turn to order. Once you reach the counter, you order whatever you want. They have a variety of seafood items: shrimp, fish, scallops, clam strips, lobster rolls..etc...as well as a variety of beverage (alcoholic and non). Once you order, they will give you a number. You then take that number and sit where you want. You can stay there and eat at an empty table, or take it to go. There are some benches where you can sit and wait for your food but also a few tables around including a separate room, off to the side, with tables and seating. After about 10-15 minutes or so, my food was ready. They currently have a small table off to the side with plastic utensils, straws and napkins. The family was pleasantly surprised when I brought the food back to the hotel...everything was super fresh and tasted great. Perfectly fried, not overdone and well seasoned. I want to mention that all staff there were very efficient. They were hustling to get things done, all while being friendly and patient with customers, which can sometimes be hard to balance. The prices also seemed to be very reasonable compared to other seafood places in the area. I would love to return when the market is opened to get a few things to take home to cook. I highly recommend Anthony for any seafood lover...don't be fooled by the other surrounding tourist traps! Anthony's is the real deal! read more

This is one of those no-frills establishments that gets right to the point; order what you want at the cashier, sit down, and feast on some great food! My friends and I stumbled upon this place and we were all glad that we did. I came in here and do not think too much of it, but once I sat down to eat, the food was so good! I started by sharing some oysters, fried oysters, and getting the Portuguese Fish Chowder and a Stuffie for myself. My favorites were definitely the fish chowder and Stuffie. The fish chowder had a great spicy kick to it and had a nice helping of seafood in it (shrimp, scallops, and cod), along with Chouico! The Stuffie was a stuffed Quahog with clams, chourico, peppers, and various spices. For the main course, I got the Fisherman's Platter which had fried clams, shrimp, scallops, and cod along with french fries. Wow this dish was so filling! Everything was cooked and fried well and a ton of flavor. I could feel my arteries clogging throughout this meal but I survived and the food was worth it! I also got to try a piece of my friend's lobster roll which was also satisfying. Much of this food is very on point, and how the layout of this restaurant is, you get straight to the point. I hope to come back here again! read more

Anthony's is a place where you go for the food. It has a wide assortment of fresh, reasonably priced seafood for eat-in or take-out, along with seating, both indoors and outdoors. You order and pay at the counter and your meal is delivered to your table. The restaurant is open Thursday thru Sunday. Anthony's also has a seafood market, open Thursday thru Tuesday, I believe. I recommend it for excellent seafood. Sometimes, during the winter, when I am staying in Naples, FL, I crave an order of fried shrimp from Anthony's. read more

The food was decent. Seafood was fresh but was definitely a heavy meal. Really enjoyed the Portuguese seafood soup

Everything we got was fried, but wow they do a GREAT job. It's light breading (in a good way) and everything still had taste. Some of the best calamari I've had, would happily go back and try the king Pao version. read more

We came here during our trip to Rhode Island for a late lunch one day and ordered the oysters, fishermans platter, a cup of Rhode Island clam chowder and a bottle of half & half. So you basically order your food, and they give you a number to place on your table, and they will find and deliver the food to you, which seems to be common in a lot of restaurants these days. When we placed our order, we got the cup of soup and found a seat outside. From what we noticed, the food comes out as it's ready, so you'll get plates here and there. We ended up getting a second cup of soup that basically was on the house because the server left it before we could say we had already got the one we ordered. We thought the Rhode Island clam chowder with the clear broth was flavorful and had a good amount of potatoes and clams, and it tasted even better because one cup was free. The oysters also tasted fresh. The fishermans platter came with clams, shrimp, scallops, calamari, and we got the cod instead of flounder and everything was fried. Everything on the platter tasted fresh and wasn't oily. They give you cocktail sauce and tarter sauce with the platter. read more
