I loved my fish sandwich so much. So fresh, loved the Cole slaw, not greasy, delicious tartar sauce. The whole thing hit the spot beyond my expectations. I love the seating area - plenty of tables with shade. Such a cute little spot for a food truck. read more

Dune Brothers - Fish sandwich - and I RARELY take photos of my food. - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

The good news They are the biggest and the best fish n chips and clam cakes I've had in RI. The bad news Everyone found out this secret. Expect to have a LONG wait on the weekend. I highly encourage you to go during the week, unless you want to wait over an hour. Actually, never mind... I can't let more people know this secret! read more

Excellent clam cakes and huge , need more minced clams in them . Got the clam cake combo. White chowder ok, potatoes had skin on them and large pieces. I prefer diced smaller potatoes with no skin. Creamy , but needed butter and a bacon kick or something; but worked for my dipping clam cakes. A guy asked for glass of ice water, told first no ice and can give tap water... then another guy says their water isn't filtered so they don't give it out but he can buy bottled water... well now I'm wondering if water in my chowder was also unfiltered water? Sounds fishy... pardon the pun. Didn't see scallops as offering . Lobster roll price .... Wow.. I passed on that as on way to Newport other fish spots. read more

Dune Brothers - Fish sandwich, old bay fries, chowder, and fritters - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This honestly might be the best lobster roll we've ever had (20+ years in New England). They only have ONE location, in downtown Providence, but it feels like you are at a traditional fish shack. There is plenty of outdoor seating, and simple but delicious menu. Dishes We've Tried in Order of Deliciousness: - Lobster Rolls - The Fish Mac - fried fish sandwich with lettuce, tomato and cheese - The Bait Box - whole, bone in fish -Clam Cakes - HUGE! - Fries Honestly, everything we've tried is amazing. The battery is crispy without drying the fish. The lobster roll is hot and buttery and perfect blend of mayo & flavor. read more

Had the fish sandwich takeout from Ives Street. It was fantastic. I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Dune Brothers - Fish & Chips Clam Chowder Narragansett Lager - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I ate at the riverside location a few days ago. Great location, but the food was disappointing. I had white chowder and steamers. The chowder tasted only of uncooked flour. The steamers were overcooked and swimming in grease. Both dishes were unpleasant to eat and inconsistent with the quality reported in other reviews. read more

5 stars for the beachfront feel in Providence and excellent location in a very modern, newly renovated part of the city. I would think that people dine here for a unique experience in the city. However, we weren't very happy with the food. The fish sandwich we ordered was undercooked and the hubby felt queasy afterwards. The clam cakes also didn't taste so good with all the weird green stuff in it and my daughter and I couldn't even finish one. Each clam cake is pretty huge, though, so if you happen to like the flavor 3 pieces would be quite filling. The Pollock fish 'n chips wasn't bad and it was huge--enough for two; nothing outstanding. There were some little kids who enjoyed running on the gentle hills covered in grass behind the dining area. Looks fun for families with small children. We parked across the gorgeous newly built bridge on the other side of the street and had a lovely stroll over to Dune Bros. read more

I absolutely loved the Dune Brothers. I visited the East Providence location and it was so nice. I got the fish sandwich, which was HUGE and full of flavor, the fries were perfectly seasoned and fluffy, and the lobster roll was stuffed and so buttery. Totally worth the price. Everything was perfect and came out pretty quickly! read more

Best lobster roll in RI or at least in the top 3. Outdoor eatery really gives off Rhody vibes. The people helping are always friendly and the food does most of the talking . read more

This is an update to a previous one-star review where we had a very long delay in receiving our order. The owner promptly reached out to us to offer to make it better, and I am glad he did because we had a nice time on our second outing, without the delay in receiving our order. We even brought friends back a third time after. The food was amazing - we had fish and chips (black bass), clam cakes, and a seasonal tomato salad. All were very tasty, especially the clam cakes. While rich and buttery, they also have recognizable clams in them, and parsley and lemon zest that help cut the richness. The fish and chips were really nice too, the batter is not too heavy and you can actually taste the flavor of the fish. The one star detraction is merely becuase we seem to witness people waiting 1+ hours for their orders, even as walk ins, on a regular basis. We experienced it too, and so I wouldn't recommend this as a "quick" stop. Regardless, if you like good casual seafood, this is 100% a must stop in Providence. read more

I spent $45 dollars on food here, and I got the fish and chips and they left half of my fish with no batter on it. I've gone here before and it wasn't like this. Absolute waste of money. The clam chowder is way too salty. I called and the girl who answered was rude and catty. read more

The food is fresh and unique! I love the fish sandwich with the potato chip coating, so delicious! The staff are fast and friendly and offer great selection advice. The food is made to order, so it takes a little longer than other businesses like it, but the food at Dune Brothers is unbeatable. Perfect spot for lunch outside on a nice day. I will be sad when it closes for the season! read more

Dune Brothers - Original fish sandwich! - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Always on the lookout for the best lobster roll, we decided that we were long overdue to try Dune Brothers. My only question is why we hadn't done this sooner! Still early spring, there wasn't much of a wait to order; however, I can see where this would be a different story in mid-summer. We started off with the chowder. It was thick and creamy, with a very unique (in a good way) flavor. They have it listed as salt pork and herbs. But whatever it is, they can certainly keep doing it!!! The lobster roll comes with a generous order of their Old Bay French fries. These are probably the best fries on the planet, and highly addictive. Cut nice and thick, with just enough seasoning to keep you reaching for another. The lobster roll was just as impressive as the rest of our meal. Loaded with plenty of tail meat, as well as claw, this warm roll (my favorite type of roll) was beyond delicious and just heaping with lobster! I think that these guys have really perfected their food and I personally hope that they never change a thing! They also locally source from RI, which is a nice bonus as well. read more

What a wonderful find!!! Was looking for a fun place for lunch before shopping and was satisfied. Husband got the crab roll that was overflowing with meat and deliciously seasoned French fries. I got the Mac fish sandwich and coleslaw that was satisfying too. The service was good even being as busy as it was with takeout orders. Would be a five star review but parking is limited and the location is an interesting spot. Liked that it was outside and very clean. read more

Dune Brothers - Crab roll with seasoned French fries, coleslaw Mac fish sandwich - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This place was great! Fish Sandwich's were super crispy and the fish was delicious. Clam cakes too, but not as much clam as I thought there'd be. The clam chowder was a bit different than the traditional new-england style; but it was still tasty. Service was nice and quick, though food took a little bit. There was plenty of seating, only outdoor though, but it was nice enough to be outside. Parking was definitely packed on the street but most of the traffic was from pick-up orders. read more

Great spot, big portions. Clam cakes are more like a biscuit - which I prefer. They are big - baseball size I don't think I could eat more than 1. Chowder is great. It can take a while and sometimes you miss your name, took about 30 minutes from order to pickup. Lose a star because they don't put wax or anything on the tray so they clam cakes were just sitting in the box and greasy. I'm many were used read more

Dune Brothers - Fish sandwich - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I spent a few days in Providence for a weekend getaway and was craving seafood for dinner on the first night. It was my first time visiting Providence so I checked out Yelp and Dune Brothers had so many positive reviews, I had to try it. Unfortunately the dinner was quite disappointing. Maybe the restaurant was having an off-day. The clam cakes were fried doughy balls with a few pieces of rubbery clams in them. I could only eat a couple bites of it. The lobster roll was very dry and the mayo at the bottom of the roll was the only thing that saved it. The fish sandwich bun was way too big for the filet, so I ate the filet by itself. The bait box was the best of the bunch, with nicely fried whole fish and the batter wasn't thick. I also enjoyed the coleslaw since it was quite different than any I've had before. The dinner came with a container of fries, always a plus! read more

This place is so good! If you are craving New England seafood vibes in pvd, this is the spot. We got the fish sandwich, fries, and curry ketchup. The fish sandwich was huge and really reasonably priced at $13. The crispy fried coating to fish ratio was great, the outside was so crispy and not soggy at all. The fish was fresh and flaky. They put pickles, slaw, and tartar sauce which all add something special to the dish. I would add a dash of hot sauce if you like spice - so good! Overall, the sandwich was well balanced and satisfying, I could see myself craving it quite often. Fries were good and thick cut, curry ketchup was good but not necessary, in my opinion. They also have other fresh seafood, like mussels and other items that are seasonally dependent. They also have a Dels / Gansett collab drink, which is fun. There is an outdoor seating area which is lovely. This place was crowded when we came, but we didn't have to wait too long to get our food. I wish they gave cups of water instead of having to buy a waterbottle, but that's my only critique. read more

The fish sandwich is one of the best fish sandwiches I've ever had. The fish filet is huge, especially when you look at the fish to bun ratio. It was perfectly fried and crusted in cape cod potato chips. The sandwich also comes with pickles, cheddar and slaw, which is the perfect combination of flavor. Definitely need to order this if you come here! I also tried the clam chowder and clam cakes. Clam cakes is a New England food, but is most commonly found in Rhode Island. This was just okay but worth trying if you are visiting Rhode Island for the first time. *When ordering my fish sandwich, they incorrectly rang me up for the bait box which was $3 more. When they corrected the order, they informed me that my credit card will be credit back for the mistake. It has been a few months already and I never received the adjustment for the incorrect charge. read more

Make sure to come hungry and with a bit of patience. The wait is worth it! Super fresh fish in the Cape Shark Sandwich. Loved

Delicious local spot conveniently located near the pedestrian bridge. We have come here for take out several times and then brought the food over to the park across the street where The Guild sets up their beer garden. The fish sandwich is excellent and a really substantial portion. The prices here are rather high, but you're getting some great local seafood. No indoor dining here so be prepared to eat outside at their picnic tables, across the street in park or on the bridge, or take out. read more

Location: So pretty! Not only their direct dining area but also the surroundings such as the restaurants next door, the pedestrian bridge across the street, and water fire at a 10 minute walk (only some weekends in the summer). Parking could get a bit tricky but there is a parking garage a block away for $7 after 6pm Staff: friendly, and apologetic for long wait times (although they shouldn't be since there were so many orders and the food is made with love) Hours: not the greatest since they close so early and seems like such a good spot that would do well at night. Food: 5/5! So good! We ordered 3 pieces of crab cakes, an order of cape shark and chips, and the fish sandwich. The crab cakes were good, very similar to most crab crakes I've had with a crispy outside, and a chewy/doughy inside. The cape shark was tender, crunchy on the outside, but could have used a bit of salt. The fries were okay--I'm personally not a fan of thick cut fries so they weren't my favorite but my mom liked them so it's honestly just a preference thing. Lastly, the highlight of our order: the fish sandwich. The bun was soft, the cheese wasn't your traditional slice of cheese but rather a "homemade cheez-it" type of thing. It was honestly so much better than just regular cheese. The fish was crunchy on the outside and also soft on the inside. The pickles tasted like a perfect blend of dill and bread and butter. The cole slaw was fantastic. It wasn't just your regular mix of cabbage and Mayo. It didn't taste like it had Mayo but it did have some dill, a twist I wasn't expecting. Their tartar sauce is incredible! All these components made this sandwich a tasty meal! read more

Great PVD spot! A tiny little outdoor shack that pulls no punches. The Lobster Roll comes with claws (yes, that is plural). Good and full of meat, as a roll should be. Solid buttery flavor and a good roll that pairs great with the Lobster (it isn't too much roll. The order also comes with fries. These are big thick fries, which sometimes goes poorly because they are undercooked. Not here, there were cooked and seasoned very well. The clam cakes were also good. You have the option of 3 or 6 as a side order. This is a must! A friend got the fried fish (Cape Shark). There were 3 massive pieces that came with the order. Very cool outdoor shack. Great place in the city to grab some very good food! read more

OMG, what a great place to get some seafood. After hearing from several people about the deliciousness of this place, my friend Mechelle and I decided to have lunch there. We both liked the nice outdoor seating with benches and umbrellas, the crushed shell patio floor and the cute food truck decor. We opted for the Potato encrusted fish sandwich, a nice fillet of fish, that comes dressed with slaw, pickles, Vermont cheddar and tartar sauce. It was a good size sandwich, lots of toppings and very well seasoned. The fillet was large, crispy, not greasy at all and every bite was delish. One of the best fish sandwiches we both have had in a long time. I finished mine, Mechelle took some back home, it was huge ! Do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't regret it. read more

I feel like I'm giving lots of five stars these days - maybe it's the pandemic making me feel like "hey they deserve it for all the hard work making their business last" but really pandemic of not - Dune Brothers is killing the seafood game. My fish and chips was delicioussssss and so crispy but parts were like a flaky crispy and broke off so perfectly. Also the fries are a perfect size cut, great texture, and perfect amount of Old Bay Seasoning. It was also gigantic - like GIGANTIC. For the money it was beyond worth it. I could have shared one with my son. But alas we both had our own... and leftovers - which were great the next day in the air fryer. My mother had the fish sandwich and declared it the best fish sandwich she has ever had - and couldn't stop talking about how she needed to get my dad there. My aunt had a lobster roll and she ALSO declared it the best she's ever had. We took our food to go and sat at India Point Park. But there are some nice looking picnic tables at the restaurant. Oh! And such flavorful clam cakes - the batter was seasoned perfectly. Go treat yo'self read more

Dune Brothers - Fish and chips - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Dune Brothers is an urban clam shack on the riverfront in downtown Providence, RI. Outdoor seating, picnic tables with shade umbrellas, porta-potty, self-bussing, food-truck-like setting. But you didn't come here for the linens and cutlery. If you were smart, you came for the lobster rolls, which are magnificent, large, stuffed with tail and claw meat drenched in drawn butter, filling a lightly toasted and buttered New England style hot dog roll (yes, only Connecticut style lobster rolls here, no option for the cold, mayonnaise bases Maine version). They are, hands down, the best in Rhode Island, and that's saying a lot because there are many places to choose from. Served with seasoned fries that are also excellent if you have room for them. Be warned that the price of lobster fluctuates and so does the price of a lobster roll, and since lobster is rarely cheap, lobster rolls aren't either...but Dune Brothers is worth it. Drink options are limited to water, canned soda or seltzer, and canned beer or cider. There are other things on the short menu with seasonal or daily specials, depending on what's fresh. I've had the clam chowdah and it was excellent. The clam cakes actually had some clam, which is rare. Fish and chips and fish sandwiches look amazing and huge, but more fried food than I normally eat in a week. However, people who know swear by them. Double thumbs up! read more

Listen to me closely. Run. Don't walk. To get this lobster roll. It was so good and the largest lobster roll I've ever seen. Usually the ones I've seen are 2/3 this size at best. The fries were nice with an old bay flare of the steak fry variety. I got to try the crab roll and it wasn't quite for me. It was cold and very creamy by design. In comparison the lobster roll is warm and buttery. read more
