The girl behind the counter was unfriendly and checking her phone while ringing us up.

The person in front of us ordered a lobster roll, which he said was delicious. It had huge chunks of lobster, and my wife, who doesn't like seafood said she'd be tempted to try one. I ordered a cheeseburger, which was cooked to perfection and had a nice meaty flavor. My wife ordered a hot dog, which is kind of hard to go wrong with, but she said it was very flavorful, and my son got a cheeseburger as well and said it was very good. Ordering is at a window outside, and they call your name when your food is ready. They also offer ordering via their website for pick up. The restaurant is located at salty Brine State Beach, which is a large, sandy beach that's sheltered by rough water because of huge jetty's out in the water. If you come to the beach for the day, you can grab a quick bite when you're hungry, some ice cream when you want a snack and drinks throughout the day to keep you hydrated in the hot weather. Next to the order window are several metal tables on a large wooden deck in the open sunshine. If you'd rather sit in the shade, there's a large covered picnic area with picnic tables that overlook the channel. There's also an open area where you can setup you own chair and watch the boats in the channel. Because the restaurant is located at a state park, state workers are always coming by and sweeping, cleaning the tables and keeping the place in tip top shape. Also, because they don't want any trash ending up on the beach, there are no garbage cans nearby, and you have to bring it back to the ordering window for the staff to throw out. If you want the cheapest burger available, this isn't the place to go, but if you want a burger (or other food) that's prepared fresh, with prices similar to what you'd pay at a higher end fast food burger place, Salty's is worth a visit. The restaurant is open daily, 9AM to 5PM, closed on rainy days.

Same with my sister in laws fish sandwich, dry and chewy. I could go on about the rest of the guest's food but let's just say it was sub par. Not worth the 300 + dollar bill at the end.

You can sit there and watch the fishing boats come in knowing that seafood is about to end up on your table. It doesn't get more authentic than that. The calamari is cooked perfectly and so good. The littlenecks and steamers are my absolute favorite, I honestly have never had better. Everything tastes insanely fresh. The staff is what really makes it special. Some people have been working there for decades and it feels more like a family than a restaurant. Their bartender Kerri has won awards just for being herself, and once you meet her, you'll get it. It wouldn't feel like a real Rhode Island visit without stopping here. Champlin's is just one of those places you keep coming back to.
