This used to be the best lobster roll on the island! Unfortunately, today for my $80 I received two soggy hotdog rolls with canned claw. They should be ashamed of themselves. Was barely edible. read more

The lobster roll was good, but those aren't usually too hard to find. This place worked because we were walking and just wanted a quick lunch, but wow the service was bad. Its takeout, so there really isn't much service expected. The BLT Wrap came out with about 2 cups of shredded lettuce and 2 tiny, crunchy strips of bacon. When we asked they were annoyed, but obviously we weren't the first to ask about such a disappointing meal. Lobster roll, BLT (minus the B) and some crunchy French fry bits (plus mandatory gratuity) we were about $75. Hard pass on the wraps, but for a quick bite this place might satisfy. read more

You know me, it's tough for me to give one star. This place is terrible, avoid at all costs. I should have checked with the Yelp community on this before dining, but I didn't. I got a $20 BLT wrap, it only had two small pieces of bacon on it. When I told the gentleman at the counter, he said it wasn't his problem. When I told the woman at the register she said "sorry bout it" and gave me a nasty look. Attaching picture, points to you if you can find the bacon under the giant bed of lettuce. read more

Old Harbor View Takeout - a taco with meat and lettuce - New American Near Me - Block Island, Rhode Island

This was by far one of the worst places we have eaten at our entire vacation. We came to grab something quick instead of sitting down and waiting at a restaurant on the island. I got a Buffalo chicken wrap. My boyfriend got a hot dog, cheese burger, and cheese fries. A square of cheese you'd get out of a package was melting on to the fries. You can literally see the outline... my wrap had maybe had 5-6 small cut pieces in each side. 17.99 was the price of the wrap and it was mainly lettuce. Please avoid so you don't ruin your day. Total was $58 pictures shown below.. Another note to add was a girl who works here came in and the owner was loud and rude. Very unprofessional we were sitting trying to eat what food had already ruined our mood and she's bullying her staff. Very unprofessional. Don't let your children work here apparently either ! read more

Overpriced amusement park food. Nazis about drinks and having your receipt to get your food at the window. Got 3 nearly undercooked chicken tenders and soggy fries. Find somewhere else. read more

$20 wraps that are mostly lettuce. Thought we'd get a quick, decent lunch but this was not worth it at all.

For starters I made a major mistake. I ordered a hot lobster roll from "Old Harbor View Takeout" last year when I visited Block Island for the day. Unfortunately I was not the Yelper I am today so I didn't check in, and I couldn't remember the name of the place. So I made the mistake of posting my picture but gave credit to another establishment across the street. DOOHH!! Well this time I will not make that mistake. I was craving a lobster roll mid-week through our vacation but just like last year, I didn't have one until I was waiting for the ferry to leave the island. I have to say the one I had last year was a tad bit better for some odd reason, but the one I had was still yummy!! It was meaty and buttery. The boss lady walks around greeting everyone, while trying to convince you to sit and eat. I washed it all down with a strawberry/lemonade smoothie. Its Block Island so be prepared to shell out a little bit of $$$. Two rolls and fries $54. read more

Old Harbor View Takeout - Hot Lobster Roll - New American Near Me - Block Island, Rhode Island

Yes!!!! Best spot to people watch and eat total New England style Great lobster roll, lots of meat Clam chowder was perfect Best onion rings Best fries Come on down read more

DO NOT GO HERE - complete waste of money. Ordered a buffalo chicken wrap for $19 and it was 95% lettuce, literally with only two tiny pieces of chicken in it. Currently going hungry without a proper lunch. This business has a monopoly on the poor tourists coming off the ferry who don't know any better. I understand the high prices but the food is such poor quality. They make victims out of anyone who dares visit. Predatory business ought to be shut down read more

Possibly the worst lunch on block island. Hockey puck on a bun called a cheeseburger and an iceberg lettuce filled tortilla with a slice of bacon and old tomato passed off as a BLT wrap. Couldn't even get the Dels lemonade right! For this we paid $50. Go across the street. Much better food in a similar atmosphere. read more

Located right by the Ferry terminal. All food was fresh and tasted very good. My fish sandwich (cod) was outstanding - perfectly fried fish, flaky and light. Very good clam chowder - on the lighter side, with good amount of clams, very tasty. French fries are perfectly done (I'm picky about french fries - these were excellent). Highly recommended. read more

I ordered the chicken tenders for my daughter. They were not anything special. They didn't come with fries and they were out of bbq sauce (I get it, you're on an island. Things run out). I also ordered the homemade raspberry lemonade. I thought it would have something to do with actual raspberries for the price. It was lemonade with blue raspberry syrup added. Now, I know that things on an island are more expensive, but, 3, nondescript chicken tenders for $9.99? Please!! Go across the street to Rebecca's! read more

Noooooo. Booooooooo. $63 worth of fried food for two adults and a three year old. I don't care where you are located in this world, the prices are too much for food deep fried and served out of a shed. The fish and chips was somehow completely devoid of flavor, and the fries were five minutes over cooked. The lobster roll was chewy. My child did devour his grilled cheese (American yellow). 2 stars because the service was pretty speedy (by way of yelling a number over a loud speaker). The takeaway: If you are in a hurry to guzzle down fried food before heading to the ferry, and you don't care how much that food costs or if it tastes that great, go for it. Otherwise, find another place to eat. read more

Keep walking and don't stop at Old Harbour View Takeout. I'm sorry to say this, because we've been eating here for years -- but our experience last week was enough to keep us from returning. This place has been taken over by The Mohegan, which we thought would only make it better. Wrong. We ordered a fried chicken sandwich, an order of chicken tenders, 3 lemonade ice teas, fries and onion rings for .... are you ready for this? .... a whopping $46.04 !!!!!! And the chicken sandwich was more like a vegan chicken sandwich -- there was a piece of chicken no larger than a slice of tomato. This place is close to the ferry landing and has outdoor seating. When you've said that, you've said it all ---- huge rip-off for food that is not that great anymore. Skip it. read more

Clean seats under umbrellas on brick patio across the shops in the center of Old Harbor. Convenient to the Ferries. And a public bathroom. Great food, ice cream and beverages. Even Dels lemonade as you exit. Great for families, couples and single diners. Great large chunked lobster rolls served with butter -unlike the take out across the street at Rebecca's which only serves then cold with mayo. I think this place is nicer. You see them washing own the tables. Best lobster rolls!!! Expensive here, and back home in CT. Lady in charge greets you. read more

Old Harbor View Takeout - Great lobster roll. They take credit cards. - New American Near Me - Block Island, Rhode Island

Ordered a $30 hot lobster roll and received two huge/ tough, drenched in butter piece of lobster on top of a roll that was soaked in butter. The two pieces of lobster were too big to fit in the roll so they were just laying on top making it very difficult to eat. No silverware was provided and when I brought it back to the cashier the chef was very unfriendly and careless. read more

Old Harbor View Takeout - a chicken sandwich with lettuce - New American Near Me - Block Island, Rhode Island

Horrible. Absolutely Horrible. Service. Coffee. Food. Horrible. We went here toward the end of our trip to Block Island. We were tired and wanted to get some coffee before we boarded the ferry back to the mainland. We got three coffees (ridiculously stale), one plate of falafels (4 pieces for $6 that looked like mini goat turds, tasted like half fried uncooked batter) and french fries (soggy and seemed like they were from the day before). We bought all this and sat at one of their not-so-clean tables. We had a slice of pizza left over from lunch in a box and we were saving it to feed our two year old toddler when she woke up. Guess what, she woke up when we were here so we decided to feed her that slice. An old guy comes running out of the store as soon as we open the pizza box, again that only had one slice for the baby, and starts shouting at us saying and I quote "outside food not allowed, cant you read. Get that S**t out of here". This in the presence of two toddlers and five of us are just staring at him while drinking the stale coffee that we bought from his restaurant. Absolutely Ridiculous, unprofessional and rude. Never ever going back there again and recommending everyone we know never to go here. Its better to cross the road and go to the coffee shop across the street than to deal with these idiots. read more

Stepping off the ferry, year after year, but never stopped for lunch here before. And trust me: never again. When you charge me $41. for two burgers, two fries, and two waters, you had better hold the attitude. From a teenager, I might excuse it. But from a middle aged woman? Shame on you. Shame on your tone and shame on the decibel with which you projected that attitude. Go to Rebecca's across the street, and save yourself from being served a side of rude. read more

Best way to start your trip into BI or for a quick bite before you leave the island! Every summer my family I look forward to traveling to BI to get their lobster roll! Everything I have ever eaten from the takeout has always been wonderful! They even have Del's lemonade !!! Location couldn't be better right next to the ferry ! Definitely a must when going to BI! read more

This is my favorite lunch spot on Block Island! Fresh Dels lemonade and a hot lobster roll make for a perfect New England lunch! Clean atmosphere with a view of ocean. The service is always fast and efficient. If you are in the mood for a burger, the special burger does not disappoint! Highly recommend :-) read more

Best Lobster Roll on Block Island, hands down! Look no further. I have gone to this take out many times and I always enjoy the cold lobster roll, so much tender meat and the perfect ratio of mayo, spice and meat. But the last time I visited I tried the hot lobster roll, wow! Try it! It's life changing, I mean as much as a lobster roll could change your life. But it's a really delicious take on a New England classic. The staff owners are very friendly, and the specials always look appetizing as well. read more

Delicious! My friends and I were walking around looking for something decently priced and casual and thankfully we stumbled here. It's considered to be take away but there is a patio and picnic tables with an umbrella over each one to enjoy your food. There was something for everyone in our group - burgers (including the veggie burger), salads, gyro wraps, seafood, and ice cream. We ended up with both types of gyros (chicken and lamb), the fish and chips combo, and the hot lobster roll. I got the hot lobster roll which is the most expensive thing on the menu but it was worth it. They had told me the lobster was freshly caught that day and it sure tasted like it. They put in whole lobster claw pieces and big pieces of tail meat tossed in a creamy, sweet buttery sauce in a warm, toasted bun. Just writing this review makes me wish I had one right now! My friends raved about the gyros they had gotten and the fish and chips combo is definitely a meal worth the price. The staff is super friendly as well! They were all prepared to get the lines going and to answer any questions. We were so happy with everything that we went back for ice cream before catching the ferry back home. FYI they do accept major credit cards. read more

It was my first trip to Block Island and I was told I must have the hot lobster roll. OMG!!! It was delicious! There must have been a whole lobster if not more in there! The bun was so fresh and the lobster cooked perfectly! Drizzled with warm garlic butter...Im still drooling! Its a must have and worth every penny! I also tried some of my friends chicken wrap and it was hearty and delicious! The view and atmosphere is just as amazing as the food! I will definetly be going back next trip! Thanks!!! Yum yum! read more

This place sells Dels Lemonade, however anyone who has tried a real Dels knows that this place is an imposter! The stuff they give you tastes like artificially sweetened ice water and is disgusting. I am so disappointed to have wasted my money on such garbage. Buyer beware! read more

I went here for lunch and it was absolutely awful. The people who took my order were so rude. I ordered a hot dog and it was $6.25. They also asked what i wanted for a side but I knew that was extra so wasn't dumb enough to order that. Then, I asked for a to go container and they wouldn't give me one and gave me a piece of foil and plastic bag. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Old Harborview Takeout is a quick and convenient place to grab a bite to eat before heading out to explore the island or hopping on the ferry. Pricing and portions are reasonable. Service can sometimes be hit-or-miss but the food has always been decent. I always find myself ordering the French fries - give it a try. read more

The Best Lobster Roll Ever!!! If you are on Block Island you must go to this place. I was shocked with how much Lobster was in the hot Lobster roll. I went there two days in a row!!!!. It is self serve so if you don't care about carrying your food yourself you will be very pleased. I highly recommend the Lobster rolls. read more

The best lobster roll and fish and chips on the island. A must go. We come to BI every year and we eat here more then all the other places combined and we have eaten at every restaurant on the island. They use the freshest ingredients and the owner is always there to insure everyone's experience is just right. read more

Horrible service. After 4 of my family members purchased food from here we sat down to eat. One of my kids had been across the street ordering a burger to take home. She came back to us and sat down at our table to wait for us to finish. Older guy came bounding up and said "Read the signs! No outside food!" We (unfortunately) HAD purchased food from him. And of the fifteen or so tables on the patio, only two were occupied. Easily the rudest, most foul person we encountered this week, and we just left DC and NYC. We were staying with a local family and made sure to let them know they should warn their visitors to avoid this place - guy was exceedingly aggressive. They laughed and said they never eat there - too many better options! read more

Old Harbor View Takeout - The "massive" crowd. - New American Near Me - Block Island, Rhode Island

These people should be ashamed. Bad food and ridiculous prices, they are milking the location for all it's worth. I would never, ever go back. read more

Been going here for over 3 years. The food is always great and so is the service. The tables are always wiped down and cleaned. The food comes out super quick and is the best I've had on the island yet. Perfect locations for waiting for the ferry and great view. The patio is spacious and has many tables for seating. read more

Hi, We visited your establishment on July 11th 2016. Ordered food, and as of today, the funds still remain in my checking account. Our bill was $38.84 (used debit card). I have tried calling 401 466 2074 and no one ever answers the phone. When will the funds be taken out of my checking account? read more

SO GOOD. We ordered a chicken salad wrap and a garden burger and we're blown away by how good it was! Moderate prices and the portions were big. Get the salted caramel icecream for dessert. It was kind of lame they charged us for tap water, but it's understandable. read more

I stopped in for a Del's and some much needed water. Service was fast but nothing special. The food which i saw coming out from the kitchen seemed pretty solid, and the flowers which adorned the outdoor seating area were beautiful. read more

Very good lobster roll, but not cheap and not a huge portion. It was over $30 for the roll and clam chowder. Worth it as I was visiting.

Our friends at Old Harbor View Takeout always treat us with the most welcome attention every time we visit Block Island and that is often during the season. One reason why we are noticed by Rose and her staff is that we always bring our tiny breed chihuahua, Princess, strutting her "stringkini". The lobster rolls and french fried onion rings have always been so, so very satisfying. When we arrive at the port we immediately put in our order for our dinner later on the patio. Can't emphasize enough how friendly and welcoming the service is and how great and fresh the food really is! We highly recommend all visitors to Block Island to eat at this wonderful takeout. read more

We found the service here lacking. My daughter asked about smoothie flavors and was misunderstood when she asked for strawberry. They made her a strawberry banana one instead and then tried to insist that was what she ordered because that was how it was charged on the receipt. Three other family members heard her ask for strawberry. Since when is it a good idea to argue with your customers? They were young kids for whom English is obviously their second language, but they were downright RUDE! My $21 lobster roll was generously endowed, but the meat was tough. Also, we didn't know it was cash only until AFTER we'd ordered. A sign stating such could save many from embarassment. And after all that, the kids who got smoothies said they were like watered down yogurt. (My kids are 19 and 14..) Never again! We should've gone to Rebecca's! read more

Avoid at all costs! If I could put no stars I would. The service was awful the help was extremely rude and spoke little to no English they tried to tell me, A PAYING CUSTOMER that I wasn't allowed to sit at their picnic tables because I ordered a side and not a full entrée which I suppose I am happy that I didn't sit their considering the smell of rotten fish was in the air while the tables were all sticky from ice cream and I was very disappointed with my food it was under cooked and had remains of what seemed like pubic hair in it I hope this information helps whoever sees and doesn't go their the health inspector should shut them down very disappointing!!! read more

Overpriced for poor quality food sold my unfriendly, unhelpful workers. The lobster salad roll was the smallest lobster roll I have ever had at $15 it was not worth the money. The burgers would have been better from McDonalds. The chowder was very good but too small a portion for more than $5. I would recommend the French frys. They were seasoned and tasty although a bit soggy. When it comes to ketchup and mustard they ration them and don't like it when you ask for more. To top it all off they add 3% when you use a charge card. They don't tell you but have a small sign behing the soft drinks. Save your money not worth it. I would will not go back here and do not recommend it to others. read more

Terrible service in that the girls are snotty and yet they expect tips, with a bowl of money on the counter. We had the ask the same question 4 times before we got the answer. The whole belly clams were skimpy, about 8 very small clams for 15.00 with tax. A rip off. read more
