He said there were hardly any bellies, mostly stems. I noticed they were very dark which appear to be the case when the oil is either old or they were overdone. These are not the same fried clams that the former Crow's Nest used to serve. We always get the fried clams at Portside in Galilee and they are always delicious, lightly battered and full bellies.

Visited on a rainy day. The restaurant is located at a lovely location by the beach. Ordered…read morethrough touchscreen at the counter. Clam cakes were tasty, freshly fried, with lovely crisp skin but not much clam. Asked the nice counter lady to recommend the version of doughboy to try and she suggested original or cinnamon sugar. Selected cinnamon sugar on the side. The original, quite fluffy, was somewhat bland tasting. Dusting with cinnamon sugar elevated both texture and taste. The doughs were light with a beautiful golden brown glow. Rhode Island clear chowder (extra broth) was okay but could be better.

In my opinion, no trip to Oakland Beach is complete without stopping at Iggy's Doughboys & Chowder…read moreHouse. It's become a tradition for us. We usually have dinner next door at the restaurant, and before heading home we walk over to Iggy's to grab a box of fresh doughboys to take with us. Somehow there's always room for doughboys. One of the things I appreciate most is the consistency. It doesn't seem to matter how busy they are, the doughboys are almost always fresh out of the fryer. They're light, golden brown, and cooked just right. I've never had one that was burnt, greasy, or raw in the middle. They strike a nice balance between having a crisp exterior and a soft, fluffy center, and they're generously dusted with enough sugar to satisfy a sweet tooth without making a complete mess. The menu has plenty of classic Rhode Island favorites if you're looking for chowder, clam cakes, or other seafood, but for us it's always about the doughboys. They've become part of the ritual whenever we're at Oakland Beach, and it's one tradition we don't plan on changing anytime soon. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because this place is incredibly popular, especially during the warmer months. Depending on when you go, you may find yourself standing in line for a while. That's not necessarily a knock on the business because a busy restaurant usually says something about its reputation, but it's worth knowing if you're in a hurry. The prices are fair, the staff keeps the line moving as efficiently as they can, and the quality has remained remarkably consistent over the years. That's becoming increasingly rare. If you're spending the day at Oakland Beach and leave without stopping at Iggy's for doughboys, I think you're missing out on one of the area's best traditions. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Best of all, as a Cranston girl I love having more great restaurant options nearby rather than having to go to Providence or elsewhere to try new places. My dining companions and I tried the chicken omelet, Makmak biscuit, caramelized banana pancakes and buffalo chicken Benedict between us and all of us were extremely pleased with our choices. I also love that they take reservations for brunch which I find rare at a lot of breakfast spots so this is a nice option if you want to be guaranteed a table and not have to wait.

Everybody at the host station was super friendly. Our waitress Leah was awesome. Very friendly, professional, and helpful.

Started out with a few cups of chowder. It was delicious but way too many potatoes in my opinion. For my main lunch I got the lobster casserole. I was a little nervous at $38 but it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The lobster was cooked perfectly, not too much breading, absolutely delicious. And it came with two sides. Also got a Caprese salad which was fantastic. Can't wait to return!

Let me just say that I was super impressed by the service and food at the Boardwalk Restaurant. Our party of 16 had a reservation and was seated immediately. Although the seating was a little tight, we were happy that they had made the effort to accommodate our large group. Our server was Marissa, and she was absolutely phenomenal! Marissa gave us just the right amount of attention, and was very prompt with getting water and bread on the table. She was super polite and patient with our mixed age party, and she made sure to note all of the special details in everyone's orders. Between the 16 of us, there were many cups of chowder and clamcakes ordered, as well as some baked fish, clams over linguini, fish & chips, potato skins, and a burger with fries. I only heard great comments on the food from everyone, and my potato skins, clamcakes, and Boardwalk Lemonade cocktail were all perfectly cooked, serverd, hot, and were delicious. Marissa was also super efficient with the check and everything on it was correct, which is no small feat when you have a party of 16. I would definitely ask to be in her section again the next time I go to Iggy's .
