rubber clams no fish. today we went to "flo's clam shack" and based on it's reputation i expected greatness, what i received was nowhere near even satisfactory. thisplaceis cash only so bring green backs or forget it.
i ordered the "famous clam plate" at $18.95 and my wife ordered a #7 fish sandwich, about $8.95. with (2) diet sodas. we were given our "flashing lobster" and we went up stairs, "no air conditioning", lucky it was a beautiful day. our "flashing lobster" buzzed and i went down stairs to get the food. i brought it back up and expected the best clams ever. the first clam was like rubber, ok bad clam, the next was the same, the third was the same, that's it i am about to bring the plate back and i look at my wife and she has a "batter sandwich with hardly any fish.
we bring both meals back and complain, and they say that we are the first "ever" to have this problem or complain!. i live near the ocean and i have had great clams before, and these were not. they said, "do i want my money back, i said no i want your famous clams and my wife a sandwich with fish in it.they give me a look like "who am i to complain" and make another two meals.
while i am waiting, i am looking around at the "great" articles on the walls,, and they are (10), (13) or more years old. if you are in newport ri and you want good food "do not go to flo's clam shack it is cash only, not worth your wait, no atmosphere "rip off"...and if you have to go to the bathroom, they have (2) old (male/ female) rooms. skip this place!
