    My grandfather, a Narragansett Lobsterman, always brought us here for the best seafood, clam cakes and chowder in RI. I still think it is the best in the state. Love the red chowder which isn't always easy to find in RI and if you do it tends to be too tomato flavored. The clam broth is well balanced in Jimmy's Portside chowder. The clam cakes actually have pieces of clam that are visible. They are crisp and delicious! A visit to Narragansett just isn't complete without a stop at the Portside!

    Thanks for making that seafood chowder Jimmy!! It was delicious and chock full of seafood as per your usual standards!

    Definitely worth a try! the clam chowder was really good one of the better ones I've tried in the area! The restaurant was just across the street from Port Judith - we ended our day from visiting Block Island by having dinner here! The line was pretty long but we did go on a Friday night after getting off of the ferry. The line took a bit to get through and waiting on the food as well so be prepared to have a wait

    Clam Cakes and res chowder

    Made a stop after an afternoon at the beach for a light dinner so chowder, clam cakes and stuffed quahogs it is! Boston clam chowder was thick and creamy and lots of clams very good. Clam cakes also cooked to protection. The quahogs were ok but I would like more seasoning/flavor. The service was nice and helpful. The place has in/out door seating. I will be back to try other things I spotted people enjoying around me.

    Got the cheeseburger platter. Chips/fries were great, the coleslaw was mid, but the burgers were inedible. The cheese was slapped on the bun cold, the burger patties tasted as if the had been dunked in liquid smoke and skip the lettuce as it's hunks of iceberg which cause the whole sandwich to fall apart. The chowder is water milky kind - also inedible. Overpriced as well. 2 4 oz. Cheeseburgers, decent amount of fries and a tablespoon of coleslaw for $19.93. Menu price $16.95 actually charged $18.45.

    I had already eaten several before taking the pic!

    Fabulous food, service, and location. Had wanted to try this place for a while. It did not disappoint! Will definitely return. The lobster bisque and Boston chowder can not be beat. The fried shrimp were delicious and a huge amount.

    Local beer and nice views!

    We were by the pier that had the ferry to Block island and decided to grab some lunch. There was a pretty long line to place your order but it did move along ok. I ordered the fish and chip special which was fresh cod deep fried with coleslaw and fries.. My wife got the fish sandwich which was also cod. Both were delicious and the portion size of mine was huge!!! Couldn't finish it all in one sitting . I also got the Narragansett beer with it to wash down .

    3.5 to 4 Stars Eight of us came here for the first time while on our annual vacation in Narragansett, RI. No reservations accepted. Private parking lot is nice. The outside tented eating area was very nice, but we opted to eat inside. The clean dining room was bright and breezy with several open windows. The restaurant is across the street from the Fast Ferry to Block Island and we could see the ferry. You order at a window and food is delivered if you are inside or handed to you if you are eating outside or picking up. The line moved quickly. My SILs helped bring the food to our table The menu is well organized. I was surprised it included veal parm and chicken Parm. Our order included: Drinks--Frozen Margarita, Narragansett beer and a Mudslide. Shore Dinner for my husband. It included a 1 1/4 pound lobster, many steamed clams, chowder, clam cakes and a stuffy. I was surprised it did not include corn on cob or a couple potatoes. It was about $60 which was fair. Salmon dinner which was delicious. My daughter wanted cocktail sauce. She went to window and was told it was 50 cents. She did not have money on her, so she did not get any. Seems kinda of tacky to me since our bill before tip was $320. Local Cod stuffed with seafood dinner was a generous portion. Very tasty. I selected a tossed salad side. Calamari and sea scallops lightly fried dinner. The scallops were very large, and the calamari was tender. Great choice. Calamari app. had canned mushrooms which was a turn off and way too many warm banana peppers. It was nothing special. The kids got burgers and fries which were good. The two year old enjoyed spaghetti with red sauce. We brought our trash to the can. The bathrooms were clean. Pets are welcome while eating outside. Overall, we like Champlain's down the street better.

    If your catching the boat to Block Island or heading back from Block Island you gotta include this place in your plans. The Lobster Bisque can not be passed by. If you just want a snack you can do that too. They have a walk up window and plenary of outdoor and indoor seating. Sometimes we just get a drink and clam cakes or onion rings. Very casual. We love sitting on the patio with a cool breeze.

    Shrimp cocktail

    This place never disappoints! My must go to spot. Everything I've tried is delectable. From the lazy man lobster (to die for) to the baked stuffed lobster (out of this world)- I cant get enough. I have also tried the shrimp cocktail, lobster bisque, & clam cakes- all fantastic. I saw someone get a cheeseburger and even that looked delicious!

    Took 45 min in a not a long line. They only have one speed which isn't a good thing. Food wasn't even worth the wait. I've had better.

    This place is always solid for clam cakes and chowder. Nice seating at the outside bar. Easy in, easy out.

    We came to George's for Mother's Day. Service was great but the food was very disappointing. My…read morewife and I started at the bar before our reservation, we each got a cup of clam chowder. The chowder was warm at best, and filled with giant chunks of potato. Removed the potato and there was no chowder left in the cup. For dinner I had the fish and chips, the fish completely dried out. 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.

    Rating: 4.3 Came to…read moreby for late lunch while waiting for the ferry for my mother. It's local seafood restaurant right by the water. Inside is large space with lots of table, seatings, and bar along with outside seating as well. We sat down on the 2nd floor. We ordered some applewood bacon mussels to start and ordered whole local baked fish. Applewood bacon mussels were delicious. Great flavor of mussels and aromatics. The best part is the broth that has the essence of mussels and bacon. You dip garlic bread to eat them. We had to order more garlic bread because we couldn't have enough and didn't want to waste the broth. Our main fish was whole baked sea bass. Came in huge plate with potatoes, garnish and 2 whole baked sea bass and side of salad. Salad and potatoes were ok but the fish was fresh and delicious. Only down side is that fish had to be dissected to be eaten and has a-lot of bones and scales. Its definitely as task not for everyone but luckily i was used to eating grilled fish so with some help of chopstick i was able to separate the meat from the rest. Season them in lemon, salt , pepper with some hot sauce to eat them. Service was good overall and our waitress was attentive. Overall it's a solid seafood restaurant at a nice location. Food was good and service was excellent. Price was on the higher side though. Still not a bad place to visit for seafood. Mussels are must try.
