    Lousy coffee. Gets the job done but it's watery and bland. Similar to a Dinkins iced coffee.

    Stopped by Jim's Dock on a gorgeous weekday afternoon a few months back, and it was such a treat!…read moreThe relaxed, beachy vibe made it the perfect setting for a laid-back meal. Since it was a quieter day, we got to pick almost any seat we wanted--talk about prime waterfront views! Our server was awesome--super funny and easygoing, which only added to the good vibes. Quick note: it's BYOB, so plan accordingly if you need a beveragino. I went with their signature fish and chips, and it was a winner. The fish was coated in a crispy cornflake dredge that hit all the right notes--crunchy perfection. The fries were nothing to write home about. On the other hand, the calamari appetizer? Absolute gold. Tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked--I'd order it again in a heartbeat.

    RATING: 2.33/5 This restaurant is wildly overpriced and…read moreseems to attract most of its customers based on the atmosphere rather than the quality of the food. I ordered the poke bowl, and quite frankly, it was absolutely disgusting. The fish didn't taste fresh, the flavors were completely off, and I couldn't finish it. A friend ordered the shrimp plate and was served only five shrimp, all of which were severely overcooked, alongside cold fries. Considering the price, the food was nothing short of insulting. To make matters worse, the bathroom doesn't even lock. It's awkwardly located, and instead of fixing a basic privacy issue, the restaurant apparently relies on employees to warn other customers not to open the door while it's occupied. That's unacceptable. The only positive thing I can say is that the service was fine. Overall, this place charges premium prices for poor food and overlooks even the most basic details. I would not recommend it.

    A place for strong coffee…read more a sandwich nice views or to start an adventure Location, location, location. Real estate people love to say these three words and for good reason. Where certain places are is at least as important as what's in them. Galilee Groceries and Deli is just a typical, small local market. Lots of them are still around in small New England towns and most have a certain charm and appeal. I actually love checking out the little markets when I go some place new. This particular store has the usually very strong coffee and various sandwiches and junk food. Nothing out of the ordinary but stuff to wake you up and fill you up. Occasionally they will be out of some things, especially if you happen to visit when the Block Island Ferry is about to leave or just came in. The market is only a two minute walk from the ferry so people come here to load up and during the summer the hordes of people can empty out the store pretty fast. The Great Island boat ramp is located practically across the street so the market is a convenient place to load up on supplies when going yaking or boating out of the harbor. A couple of small tables are located inside the store and some chairs are also outside on the beautiful porch. During quiet times local people and fisherman can be found drinking coffee or just shooting the breeze. Always someone to talk to and great stories and ocean views can be found on that porch. A pleasant little place to just relax and enjoy the sea or to get some strong coffee, sandwiches or some junk food before heading off on an adventure to Block Island or the open water.
