anthony's seafood

great fresh seafood, rhode island clam chowder the best, theirfriedseafood is light and crisp, soft flaky fish inside. only the fries were over done. but it is the seafood we love.

absolutely deliciousfriedsea scallops,friedclams, and the french fries, believe it or not, are incredible! crisp on the outside and soft on the inside! my husband had the ne clam chowder and a grilled swordfish steak sandwich. it was an inch thick and incredibly delicious! even the slaw was good, but i could only force down a couple bites as i was so full from the rest of my delicious meal! i'd definitely recommend this place!

this is one amazing dish – the best ever! thefriedclam strips are last to arrive, they perfectlyfried– tender and light. they come with fries but after the stuffies and calamari we have to eave them on the plate. this meal is so wonderful; we ret

overall everything we had was very good. went to anthony's based on seeing theirfriedclams on food network. they were out of clam strips at 1:15 during lunch. told would have to come to dinner if we wanted clam strips. only shortcoming. good, fresh seafood.

great seafood at a great price!. if you are looking for fine dining with the romantic setting, you won't find that here! but what you will find is incredible seafood at an incredible price. anthony's is a seafood restaurant/fish market. as soon as you walk in the door, you see the cases of fresh seafood for purchase. they had some of the biggest shrimp i have ever seen before in my life! the largest shrimp they have are $19.99/lb. which i think equaled approximately 10 shrimp. we ended up getting shrimp two sizes smaller than those, took them home and grilled them up--delicious!

if you decide you would like to eat at anthony's, you order/pay at the counter, and then when your food is ready, someone will bring it out to you at your table. there are cups of markers and pages to draw on for the kids, while you wait for your meal. if you do not want to order a soft drink, you can ask for a carafe of water (no charge).

i ordered fish tacos for lunch one day, thinking i would get two small little tacos like you would normally find at a place like tgifridays or applebees. wrong! they brought out my plate and i saw two huge overstuffed tacos with a couple pieces offriedflounder, black bean salsa, cheese, tomato, and lettuce in each tortilla. it also came with fries and a small cup of coleslaw, and a small cup of sauce to put on the tacos. i thought $9.99 for my tacos was an excellent deal for the amount of food, and it was cheaper than tgifridays or applebees, plus, it tasted so much better!

my husband got the shore dinner which had mussels, clams, corn, red potatos, and chourico (sausage). i can't remember exactly how much his was, but i think it was around $15.99.

they do have a kids menu with fish and non-fish items. our son ended up getting the macaroni and cheese ($3.99), and ate it all. nothing else was included with his meal, but after his bowl of mac and cheese, i don't think he could have eaten another thing.

while they do have a dessert menu, we were just too full after eating our meals to try anything from it!

the staff is friendly, and i felt like i was eating at a local place and not some tourist trap with inflated prices for mediocre food. this was a really great place and at these prices, i can see myself coming back again and again in the future when i visit the area.

we were visiting the newport area and were directed to anthony's by a local. the food was excellent. one of us had the chowder and clam cakes. they have three different chowders so we asked the server to give us the one she liked best. we got their portugese chowder and were instantly in love. they even gave us the recipe to try at home. thefriedclams were the best i ever had. the atmosphere was very casual and the people were very friendly.
