Champlin's Seafood - Dogs playing at Point Judith Beach. - Seafood Near Me - Narragansett, Rhode Island

Very good seafood at reasonable prices (especially if ordering lobster, given what we're used to paying for it on the west coast). Unpretentious setting right at the docks. Line was minimal when we arrived, but went down the stairs by the time we left, however it moved quickly. You'll have to crack your own lobster and pay a deposit for the nut cracker needed to do so which is humorous. Friendly bar staff and patrons in the bar area, many of whom brought their dogs with them which added to the laid back vibe. One large yellow lab named Tuna is a regular and decided to plop himself at our feet which made for a memorable and welcome addition to our dining experience. read more

The food was honestly okay. I honestly don't know what is the hype about this place. Maybe pre Covid the food was better but the stuffed shrimp was weirddd. I actually don't even know what it was stuffed with. My bf had the fried seafood platter and there was some weird things in there just breaded and fried. The lobster salad had sooo little lobster in it and wasn't as buttery and juicy as you'd expect it to be. The bartender was pretty cool and just very energetic which I loved. Idk if I were to give Champlin a second chance. read more

Champlin's Seafood - Oyster. - Seafood Near Me - Narragansett, Rhode Island

Let me start by saying I have been going to Champlin's for the last 25 years. This visit was the first of the season for me and just wasn't up to par compared to past visits. I was with a busy of mine and we came down for a fishing trip (canceled due to rough seas) but still came to RI for a camping trip and a visit to Champlin's. I usually don't eat a lot of fried cod but Champlin's has always been my guilty pleasure. We split everything we ordered which was. Seafood platter (onion rings no longer included) and an oyster platter upgraded for $3 to include onion rings. Let me start by saying the food was warm to cold when I picked it up at the counter. How does that happen when each meal is supposed to be prepared to order at a seafood joint? Big let down as warm to cold fried seafood does not compare to hot from the fryer. The oysters were big and plump but just lukewarm which really was a let down compared to how they would have Ben if they were hot. The onion rings were not coated in the same batter as the seafood as before and I suspect they were a frozen product. Some were urned some okay just not the same as they have been. Definitely not worth the up charge. On to the seafood platter. The scallops were so small you could call them bay scallops versus sea scallops much more clam strips than whole bellies and again everything was warm to cold. The fish was flounder but it soo thin it was fried to dryness. The saving grace was the shrimp which were plump and flavorful but not local of course. The fries were your standard food service frozen fries. Would I go back? Probably not as I dropped $75 plus left a $10 tip for counter service, as I like to help the local workers. I think I should have gone to Iggy's which has been consistently great but I really want Champlin's to be the champlin's I remember. Their seafood market on the ground floor is a true seafood market, and has always been excellent. Try the snail salad or smoked bluefish! read more

Food was extra greasy. The inside smelled like fish. The prices were high. My son got a cheeseburger and it was so over cooked the patty could've been used as a hockey puck. They were out of grilled chicken and grilled shrimp. $90+ for a family of five. Understandable if this were a more upscale place but that's not what this place was. On a good note, the bartender lady was very nice and very efficient. The drink prices were not bad either. Everyone sitting around the bar appeared to be having a great time. read more

The bartender was really fabulous and made a strawberry daiquiri and a Miami vice like a pro! She also made my son a pineapple juice with extra cheeries! Yum! He loved it and it was a super sweet gesture! I thought our food was a little mediocre. My son and I split the fish and chips and it was a bit too fishy for our liking. He can usually finish an entire order by himself but instead he opted for my boyfriends bake stuffed shrimp- which was much better! I've been here before and I'm sure I'll be back again. Ps. The strawberry daiquiri was delicious! read more

Sitting on the deck drinking a cold one with the Atlantic breeze coming in off the water eating some excellent fried seafood really makes quite a perfect afternoon. The bar has excellent beer on tap and the bartenders are friendly and engaging. The beach directly south of Champlin's is relaxing with a good wave for playing in. It was so good on Friday we went back on Saturday! read more

Definitely fresh seafood right from the ocean!!! Great portions and the staff are very friendly. The Fried Scallops and Fried clams were delicious. The White clam chowder had lots of potatoes and the clam cakes were a little light on the clams. However totally worth the money! read more

Quantesential NE sea food joint. I love all their cooked dishes (eg. Fish and chips, from ed clam, oysters, seafood platter, cheese coconut shrimp, clam chowder, ...). and raw bar. My most favorite is the lobster with a favorite drink (they have a full bar with a great bar tender). Make sure they are open before you go since they are closed all winter long, and have limited hours outside the high season, i.e. May- Oct. read more

George's tends to get the majority of the attention off the docks of the Block island Feeeeerry...but, I like this spot too! Let me tell you a few reasons why. For starters, they have a fresh fish market under the restaurant. Nothing like eating fresh seafood and being able to buy some raw to take home. I also appreciate the fact that they serve extremely fresh options. The baked stuffed cod legit tasted like it had been caught moments prior to cooking. Tender, flaky, delicious! The clam cakes have big ol honking RI freshies packed into every bite. Nomnomzzz Lastly, I enjoy the lively atmosphere the staff produce. The raw bar was technically closed when I last went, but in Tommy Boy fashion, the staff made it happen with the colossal shrimps! The only downer is the lobster bisque is more of a broth that lacks the big chunks you'd expect in a better than average seafood joint. In a land of supreme seafood, they're def worth a try! Bon Appetite! read more

We stopped for chowder and clam cakes for myself and fried clams for my wife. Instead I decided on charbroiled swordfish. For an appetizer we had an order of stuffies. The stuffies were pretty good. The swordfish was overcooked and dry. My wife loves whole belly clams and was happy with the order. Overall we enjoy sitting at the bar overlooking the water and the boats coming in and out of the channel. The bartenders here are always nice and engaging with the customers. I usually get the chowder and clam cakes which are very good here. So next time we come it will be chowder and clam cakes for me. read more

Champlin's Seafood - Piña colada and Virgin Piña colada - Seafood Near Me - Narragansett, Rhode Island

From the book of "it's good, just not good for you." Fried everythang and urrytang, but man. I consider the portions quite generous for the price, and it's not overkill on the breading, it's all fried pretty lightly so you don't feel like you need a nap at the end. As a man that's had many a stuffie in my day (look at me to confirm) the Portugese stuffies are excellent, don't screw up by not ordering them. read more

The chowder was really good, especially with some super crispy fries. The restaurant was clean with a great view. The food came quick

There was a hairball in my lobster roll. We took it to the employees who did not apologize once and we asked for a new one. The person who brought it out to us just threw it on our table and said here you go. We are not the type to complain and did not ask for our money back or give them a hard time - so it was disappointing when they could not even apologize or offer anything considering I was literally eating something with a hairball in it. Lobster bisque was great, stuffed clams were way too greasy and just not good. read more

Triple lobsters for $49.99! Price can't be beat ... glorious ocean views, a misty breeze and large open spaces. Definitely worth stopping for lunch if you are in Galilee! Lots of fresh seafood options to choose from: Fish tacos, shrimp tacos, lobster rolls, fried flounder are just a few and large sides. The onion rings and fries were on point. Eat on or pack your lunch and take it to the beach! Either way you can't go wrong! read more

Champlin's Seafood - Fresh triple lobster special for $49.99! - Seafood Near Me - Narragansett, Rhode Island

For years Champlin's was our family's favorite place at the beach for clam cakes, chowder and lobster rolls. This evening we went for the first time in about a year and it seems to have changed. The lobster roll was completely different - way too much mayonnaise and no more large chunks of lobster. The cole slaw was not good, it used to be shredded and just enough mayo. This one is chopped and tasted sweet like miracle whip or something. Clamcake recipe seemed different too...the batter didn't taste as good, and no clams in any of them. Prices way too high for what we got. Sadly we will have to find a new spot. Service was friendly though! read more

Restaurant review, unimpressed is putting it mildly. I ordered a cod fish sandwich with fries $17.99 that didn't include the tip. What I received is a lettuce sandwich with a hint of fish. What I received was the thinnest 3 filet pieces approximately 1/4" thick and that is including bread crumb coating. It was served on a 6" toasted sub roll on a bed of lettuce accompanied with tartar sauce and French fries. The good: Food temperate was very hot. Restaurant was very clean. Staff very friendly. The bad: Most prices are omitted from wall menu and have MP for market price Fish portion is 3 ounces or less Food is served on disposable paper plates This is counter service, you order at counter and pick it up from counter. McDonalds and Burger King fish sandwiches are better portion and quality. I would say tourist trap. I will never go back. read more

Great location on water. Outdoor tables overlooking water were great on this warm breezy sept day. Busy but after Labor Day , no big linear 3:30 pm Portions are good size Food however was marginal . Clam bodies plentiful, were average to small. Baked Scallops were dry and not that fast. Nice fries and red potatoes Ice cream down stairs was tasty and plentiful single scoop Pick up.. no waitress service Reasonable prices read more

Take one of the best views in Rhode Island, add a very basic interior with uncomfortable bench seating and add sub quality food. This describes Champlin's restaurant. There was no crowd on this cloudy Tuesday at noon. The red and white chowder were both extremely salty and the fresh flounder sandwich looked good but the fish tasted old. Clam cakes were hot and tasty. I was very disappointed in this landmark restaurant. Next time I would take in the view downstairs and eat elsewhere. read more

I have been coming to Narragansett since I was a kid. Generally we go to George's or Aunt Carries. Stated this past week in Breakwater Village and decided to try something different. Didn't want a sit down meal, but wanted raw bar. Website advertises raw bar. We go in.. no raw bar and I mentioned it was listed on the website and maybe that should be updated? Was told that it's been closed due to Covid, and she said there is only 3 of them working there anyhow. Seriously felt like we were bothering them by being there- girl had an attitude. She suggested we go to George's- which is exactly what we did, had a fantastic meal and spent $220.. worth every penny. read more

I'm sure they have a loyal following but, it's just not for me. Local or not I felt (and tasted) like it's geared toward tourists. The view is cool w the fishing boats & Block Island Ferry coming & going. Huge interior space is immaculate w the gleaming polyethylene wood tables/booths perfect for family's & large groups. But, the food was just OK. My scallops were fried in a strange sweet batter & weren't even crispy but limp although the scallops were sweet and tender. The lobster roll was very mayo-ish w celery lettuce on a grilled hot dog roll. The coleslaw remained me of (gasp) Kentucky Fried chicken. The fries were sweet too bit overall the flavor was tarnished by the very distinct flavor of OLD oil. There are just too many great places to enjoy great local seafood in a 10-15 mile radius. read more

Ever since I moved back to New England several years ago, I make sure I come here every 6 months or so, regardless of the season. My father always came here and brought us as children. We loved it and it makes me happy to go back. And I miss the food and looking at the ocean. I stand by my last review in 2013 for the food. There are definitely things that are better than others, but its fun spot for fresh seafood, and the chance to sit and enjoy the beautiful ocean waves and the boats. They have a fish market underneath where you can buy your own lobster and they will cook it upstairs for you for a nominal charge. They also have a small ice cream and bakery that open during season. They also have a full bar and the bartenders are always awesome. Best Food: Raw oysters and jumbo shrimp. Steamers, steamed little-necks, baked scallops, any size steamed lobster, fried whole clam bellies Just OK: fried shrimp (small- not gulf shrimp), clam chowder (not my favorite style - they offer white, clear and red) and clam cakes are too doughy for me. There is a huge menu, but I tend to stay with the same things I know and like. Maybe if I lived closer I would try more things :) read more

Stopped in for a early dinner after a day at the beach. Main dining room needs ceiling fans like the side dining room. We had a seafood platter, half quart of white clam chowder, lobster mac and cheese and a kids fish platter - for two adults and two teens. Hot day, so everyone was tired and needing a breeze. Food was good, not great. Fish was tender, nice batter, heap of fries. Plenty of clam strips, some shrimp, some scallops. Chowder was good, but lobsters mac and cheese at $18 was a real disappointment - lobster bits slathered in cheddar cheese on top of noodles. Place not too busy on a Friday at 5, but it was still fun. read more

I have tried many snail sail and this place has one of the best by far even if it almost an hour drive there. They also have very fresh seafood items for sale as well. I bought crabs, clams, and lobsters as well. Upstairs they have a seafood restaurant where you can find many things on the menu. I have tried the seafood platter, scallops, whole belly clams. By far food here is far better than other seafood places. So good!! read more

Cute little seaside seafood restaurant that has plenty of seating. I tried the snail salad because I saw it on the travel channel. Lots of snail with great texture.

Fun spot for fresh seafood along the water! Great spot to see the fish market and fishing boating coming and going and get your food cooked fresh and eat at tables along Point Judith. They also have their own ice cream store on ground level, tons of flavors of churned ice cream. I got the lobster roll sandwich and onion rings, delicious! You order upstairs and get a number, and pick it up to sit where you like. Good selection of items. They also have a bar there with specialty drinks. Plenty of seating, large wooden tables and many picnic tables, great for groups. Recommended! Fun atmosphere and tasty! read more

This is probably your best bet for fresh local seafood. Nothing fancy, just a seasonal seafood restaurant above a fresh seafood market that's been around forever. Your typical New England style fried or baked seafood, chowder,clam cakes,fish and chips,fried clams,stuffies,lobster rolls,Lobster the usual suspects. Great spot to grab a bite and a drink while watching all the boats and block island ferry past by. This is the place to go if you want order up at the window and pickup you order. This is a totally order pickup and take out However you can sit at the bar and the bartenders will take your orders and set you up. read more

This is the archetype for the R.I. seafood place. The deep fat fryer is king here. The Big Platter is far too much food for one mortal to eat alone. I make it a point to visit here every trip east to R.I., and my favorite is the lobster roll. The bisque is also very good. Any a terrific view! read more
