Fave restaurant on block island! Got the steamed lobbie & bass special, both so good! Outdoor seating is where it's at. Gorgeous view of water during sunset hours. Went pre-season in June and no wait each time, probably gets crazy during peak season rip to anyone trying to get a table then I guess read more

Service is good. Food is pretty great for Block Island. My favorite lobster roll on the island. Obviously a gorgeous place to spend the evening on Block Island! Nothing like a sunset at Dead Eye's! read more

Long ish wait for a table and food. Crab cakes were good but three of us ordered New England clam chowder and when he brought it out we asked if it was New England but it was Rhode Island clam chowder instead and did not enjoy it. Loud in the restaurant but lots of sea food. read more

Service was a very good, we spent a lot of time fixing our stupid table after knocking over a glass. This is basic stuff, guys. Not being a hater - just wanted to get that off my "plate" All the entrees were tastefully prepared and presentation was unexpectantly fantastic. ( see pictures of all four ) We got a calamari app and also mussels that were both above the normal fare. Nicely cooked and unusual tasty broths abd dressings. Always love the calamari with hot peppers. a salmon dish was awesome, a swordfish that was divine, a wedge with chicken a friend enjoyed immensely, and i got the veggie noodle bowl with tumeric noodles and ribbon vegetables that was just plain awesome. read more

Came here for a cocktail and an appetizer. I hear such good things about this place. I did have the fried oysters with mango salsa. It was very small but delicious. The staff was super friendly. They have a big bar with wide selection of drinks. There is a lot of seating especially during COVID. It is very spread out. read more

Pretty hyped spot, and it's definitely worth it. We went for lunch while biking the island. Had a beer and an oyster po'boy and my partner had the cod sandwich. Solid lunch. Enjoyed the casual atmosphere. Full menu looks pretty tasty. read more

Have been going to BI for the past 10 years and this is the first time I have tried DED. We had a party of 8 on a Friday, August 16th. and agreed to sit outside on a cool evening. When being seated our party stated how cool it was outside. The young hostess was very rude with her response and said "oh well you agreed to sit outside." And our Menus down and left. The waitress was very friendly and we had no complaints. We were there for about a 1/2 hour and noticed a table of eight available on the covered deck. We asked to move. This time the manager came over and again rudely stated we agreed and we could leave and get out back on the wait list. We stayed outside and ate our meals. 1/2 the parties meals were cold and lobster pasta I ordered had very little lobster is was not worth the money. When we were leaving the table we asked for was still empty. It's safe to say we will Never ever return to DED. Only positive was nice waitress rest of experience was forgetful. read more

Very fresh food and friendly service! The portions are very good as well. I had the lobster BLT, but really should have gotten the warm lobster roll (food envy sucks). We'll worth the trip from the dregs of tourist central! Tip don't go to fast food joint up the hill from the ferry total rip off! read more

We've never had a bad dish here. Everything is delicious-I always order the swordfish dinner and the tuna soba dinner my hub loves. A little noisy inside but the food and atmosphere is fun and great views outside! read more

Dead Eye Dick's is a must stop with everything you want in a relaxing island restaurant; great food/drinks, relaxing vibe, scenic views and impeccable service. The location is quaint with beautiful views and plenty of outdoor seating to satisfy any COVID risk adverse individual. The overall scene is very relaxing and casual. The food options are robust and are of high quality. The Garlic Parm wings were plump, crispy and flavorful. The standout was the fried oyster PO' Boy, which was perfectly presented on a buttered roll, with ripe tomatoes, lettuce and crispy oysters in every bite. Not to be forgotten was the tasty burger, fish tacos and last but not least the lobster roll. Any of these will make you happy and satisfied. Our server (Emma) went above and beyond to provide extraordinary service with a smile and a great attitude. She offered many food and drink suggestions with appropriate supporting details. Furthermore Emma offered ideas of things to do on the island, which were helpful and perfect for our day trip to Block Island. Do yourself a favor and make Dead Eye Dick's a part of your Block Island experience. read more

Hot lobster roll. All that needs to be said! but I need 85 characters so I need to say more and can. Did I took his some of the most consistently good food on the island. And it's still reasonably priced. Cocktails are awesome also. And let's not forget the beautiful view from the deck or lawn. read more

Amazing dinner! I had the Fra Diavlo and the New England Clam Chowder. Both were excellent. The chowder was the best I ever had. Beautiful sunset and great live jazz band. Can't say enough good things about this place! read more

The food was a-mazing!! Loved all the appetiZers and fresh calamari. Definitely recommend fried calamari, the pepper/jalapeño was flavorful and so delicious. For entre we had dead eye burger and lobster roll. Dead eye burger ... oh my god... it was one of the best burger I ever had I think. Food was very hot, and patty was cooked just right, keeping majority of the juiciness.. Fried oyster in the burger really added flavor and crunchiness to the burger. I would have it everyday if I could , haha Lobster roll was very good too, the lobster meat was big and tender ! The bread tasted so good too. The view was beautiful. One tip that I wanna give would be : get here early.. people will be waiting outside and make a line to get in. For dinner , we came right at 5pm and was able to get a seat right away, but the line grew pretty quickly ! read more

We had a beautiful day to sit on the deck. Both fish dishes we ordered were delicious and service was great. Easy walk from the dinghy dock. Have been coming here for 40 years and never had a bad meal. read more

Our waitress Sadie was very pleasant and offered great recommendations. The calamari was by far one of the best I had. It was complimented perfectly with a wasabi and sweet chili dipping sauce. The scallop tostados were good. Succulent scallops but the tostados seemed to be stale. Lobster roll offered a hefty serving of meat, and the BLT was flavorful. Would recommend for someone visiting block island read more

I am behind on my reviews, as I am no longer on Block Island, but better late than never!! Michael, my younger sister and best friend came here on a Tuesday for Madeline's birthday. It was quite busy, but were told we could sit inside immediately or wait 20 mins for an outdoor table. We took the indoor seats, only to change our minds, as it wasn't air conditioned and wasn't the atmosphere we wanted. When our table was ready, we were brought outdoors. First impressions: definitely sit outside; as the view of the water is beautiful! Our waitress was very friendly and good, even with the restaurant being busy. We ordered a round of drinks which were A+! For dinner I got the Veggie Noodle Bowl-which was just alright. It was good, but over salted and I wish had more to it for $18. But I did enjoy the artichoke hearts, which you don't see that often in a dish. Michael and Madeline both got a lobster roll and loved them. All in all, a nice restaurant and dinner, but could do better with more non-seafood dishes. read more

I would like to start with- we own a house on the island. And we support every business on the island. We have many many many years of attachments here. I share our experience purely for the utter shock of our experience with our family. I will bullet point it to make it more concrete. - once seated- took 16 minutes for someone to acknowledge us (party of 6 with two kids) - appetizers came out 25 minutes after ordering. - dinner took 1 hour and 35 minutes to come out - after I made a "deal" about it. - no transparency on on possibly forgetting our order- it was NOT busy. - found waiters to ask for a manger and why it was taking so long - - One of our kids had chicken fingers and the other fish and chips - should have have been a very easy thing to full-fill - Manger comes over with a concrete attitude/ entitlement / no empathy and VERY condescending - I am medical professional- never have I ever treated any patient on my most exhausted day! - the way this manager did. - at the end to "compensate up" he brought sweet treats. That is not how you fix a problem. You speak to your clients. You discuss things to make it better next time. I do not need your bread pudding- what if we are gluten free? Diabetics? - this experience was beyond tolerable. - to add to the fuel I watched that manager in the corner of the restaurant speak to one of the waitress with his hands over her arms and her in tears. He seemed forceful and aggressive (should not occur in any area especially in front of customers). To bring this to a positive closure. The food was good- the chief did a wonderful job. The rest is 0/10. read more

Fabulous! Spectacular views of marina! Great food. Excellent service. We started off with delicious assorted raw oysters which are locally caught. Then we moved on to hot lobster rolls served with warm butter, swordfish Reuben sandwich, and a lobster BLT. Drinks were also well prepared as was the craft beer selection. Friendly attentive staff read more

You HAVE to go here!! The food, the ambiance and the service was above and beyond! Our server, Emma, was so helpful and so friendly. She greeted us at our table with such a genuine smile. She accommodated our dietary restrictions and was very patient and pleasant. It started raining once we got our appetizers. She quickly got us a table inside and had a new order sent to us. She was so kind and thoughtful. The food was AMAZING! We got the fried oysters, RI clam chowder, shrimp salad and swordfish. Everything was cooked to perfection. We can't wait for our next trip to BI to come back here! read more

This place disappointed me beyond comparison. I was recommended to come here and I was expecting the islands best food and dependable service. We arrived at 7:15 pm for a table for two and requested to sit outside. We were told that there was a 45 minute wait which we were completely fine with. After waiting for an hour, we started to sit outside by the hostess table. At no point did the staff inform us that there was a patio in the back where we could sit and order appetizers while we wait. Eventually after impatiently waiting around we found the back patio and realized we could sit there and order food. We were so hungry at this point and we were extremely disappointed with the long wait time for a Wednesday night. We waited an hour and a half for our table and after being seated we experienced slow and subpar service from our waitress. The food took so long to come out, maybe about 45 minutes. The food was nothing special. It lacked flavor and definitely did not compare to other restaurants we tried on the island. Overall, food was mediocre and overpriced and the service was terrible. No one apologized for the long wait times and we did not receive welcoming service. I will definitely not come back here. read more

Meal was overall 6/10. Party of 6, everyone enjoyed, however, my dish was a surf and turf and the steak was served overcooked and charred. Waiter was very nice about it, however manager came over and slammed a side of steak sauce on the table and took $5.90 off the bill, (My dish was 60$). Manager was red long hair guy. read more

Our groups of 6 had mixed reviews. I had the Fra Diavlo, which had a moderate amount of seafood In an extremely spicy sauce that tasers like tomato paste with lots of Tabasco added. Barely edible. The swordfish was OK. The lobster roll was good as was the lobster truffle fettucine.won't hurry back. read more

Didn't get a chance today to taste the food!! 1st one to be seated on the patio today & the host kept seating more & more tables without sending out a server telling them WE should get helped first! Someone sitting in the lawn area immediately got help. Guess who did not? It's very rude to your patrons who walked the 2 miles to get there! read more

Nice indoor space for lunch or dinner. Wait staff was great. Dealt with dairy allergy with ease. Hamburger was delicious. We had it on rye bread. Fries were great. IPA was good. Thumbs up. read more

I came here for dinner while visiting Block Island and it exceeded my expectations! They have a super cute little area in the back on grass overlooking the ocean and boats where you can order drinks and order from a small bites menu if you wish. We had a cocktail here first and then got seated on the deck for dinner. For an appetizer we got the fried calamari (amazing!) and hot lobster roll for dinner. So good! I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to visit BI. read more

Right on the water with great views and nice service. Food was the usual tourist food but was hot.

The crab Rangoon flatbread and the prawns were 5 stars. We absolutely loved them! I wish we would have stopped there. My husband ordered the tuna melt and I got the lobster BLT. My husband gaged on his first bite of the tuna melt because it tasted and smelled extremely fishy. He had a hard time swallowing it but did manage to get it down. I also couldn't eat my lobster BLT because the lobster was very over cooked and the avocado was more like browned guacamole. Super bummed because we started out LOVING this place. Wait staff and view were both great. read more

The service was good, but the food was mediocre at best. We had the Parker house rolls and crab cakes to start, which were both good enough. But then we had fish and chips and the fish was rubbery and chewy and the tartar sauce was from a jar-terrible. read more

Awesome fish, excellent service and the bluefish pate is very good as well. We get swordfish, tuna and fresh salmon for the grill. It's always the best! read more

Had lots of food choices with my short weekend on block island. Kept hearing about an avocado BLT sandwich and finally found out where it was. We rode mopeds into New Harbor and stopped to grab lunch at Dead Eye Dicks. Although the price was a little steep, The sandwich was super filled with lobster and I left full... well worth the price. Service was moderate, and had the side of fries been bigger and maybe a pickle this would be a 5 star review. read more

Always a wonderful experience. My wife and I are vegan and there aren't many places on the island where we, and our non vegan friends and family, can have a great dining experience. We hear the seafood is fantastic and the cocktail menu is unique. read more

Walked here after taking the ferry to Old Harbor. I'd say a good 30-45 min walk. Highly recommend taking a taxi or renting a scooter. Anyhow once we got here it was so worth it. We started with drinks (sailor's painkiller and the one with cherry in the name, can't recall) and the fried calamari. Drinks were awesome, generously poured and the calamari as my fiancé would say was "blazin'". For entree's I got the Swordfish Ruben which was fantastic! Bread was fresh and the fish quite juicy. Overall great flavor with the sandwich and the fries were super hot. My fiancé got the shrimp po boy and raved about it. Service was great. We got seated right away and our waitress was very pleasant and had a bubbly personality that wasn't over the top. Bathrooms were very clean and for those with a baby there was a changing station in the far right stall. We sat on the porch but the inside was open so just natural air running through, no AC running, at least when we were there, but we didn't mind. Overall great experience and if we come back to Block Island will definitely be back. read more

Crowd is thinning on Block Island but quality of dishes and services at this low key but really high class BI icon. We had some great Island Little Necks on the half shell first. The Caesar Salad was simple but tasty. My gal raved about the shrimp and grits and she knows her grits. I enjoyed the mussels steamed in Narragansett lager beer Portuguese style with white beans, fennel and chourico. What a great meal and the service was exceptional! read more

Had a delicious late dinner here. Kitchen closes at 10, so it was about that time. Informed the sever we'd like to order some food and quickly placed an order with his recommended dishes. Wasn't prepared for how good the food was going to be. Snapper was cooked perfectly. Firm, tasty flesh with Brussels and a butter sauce that sang. Only downside was had to hang inside at the bar after 10. Sitting outside in the back would have been perfect, but apparently not an option later. Bummer. read more

I came with a group of people and a few people at the table did not enjoy there food or had a difficulty ordering. A few of us ordered New England clam chowder after seeing it online, when it came it looked completely different and exactly like Rhode Island clam chowder. We asked which one it was and they told us it was New England but there was no way, it was not good at all. One of us had a treenut and shellfish allergy and the waiter came back to the table 3 times to tell us that we needed to change one of the items on the plate due to it not being safe. He ordered medium rare steak and frites and ended up with oven baked well done steak and a baked potato, they informed us that he could not have the sauce with the steak but then put it in the plate with his food anyway. The waitress was amazing and very kind but the kitchen struggled to back it up. read more

Only came here for drinks along our adventures on Block Island, since we decided to walk through the entire island instead of doing the suggested moped or bike rental. This resulted in us being super thirsty, and just in the nick of time, we found dead eye dicks. There really isn't anywhere on this picturesque island that doesn't have a beautiful view and great location, but this restaurant seems to take the cake on waterfront dining. We were greeted by the manager with a hearty welcome, and were allowed to sit anywhere we wanted. They have quite a bit of indoor dining, but the clutch spot is to sit on the wraparound deck on the waterside. Our waitress was a spunky, enthusiastic lady, who made our experience here even that much better. We all had drinks, two sampled local CT brews, and my husband and I tried the handcrafted cocktails. The Cucumber Smash was hands down the best of the bunch, fresh, light, and rejuvenating. I had the RBH (rose before hoes), with 4 roses burbon which was flavorful and heavy, and would have suited a meal better than a sipper on a hot day. Definitely would return here if we revisited block island, with great views, interesting flavor palates on their menu, and excellently friendly staff. read more
