iggy's doughboys and chowder house

both the casual restaurant as well as the nicer sit down restaurant and bar both have excellent food at reasonable prices. whether a fancy dinner or just a casual eat out, they both have excellent food and kind service

iggy’s is a wonderful place to satisfy a craving for clam cakes and chowder, but it also offers many other dishes. their doughboys made them famous and their clam shack sealed their presence in the hearts of rhode islanders. nonetheless, they continue to expand with a full restaurant, bar, and creamery. i highly recommend iggy’s boardwalk as a more relaxed dine-in alternative to the bustle of the clam shack that both serve the same fantastic seafood.

this is my favorite restaurant in rhode island and during a recent vacation i was able to finally go back. we got rhode island chowder (clear) with crab cakes and a lobster roll. we were very full when we got done.

there is nothing like eating seafood right next to the water. the seafood just tastes fresher and all around more enjoyable. we wanted the rhode island experience so we got the clear clam chowder, clam cakes, and the cinnamon doughboys. 

the clear clam chowder is a dream for those who are lactose intolerant but because of the lack of dairy, the clam flavor is much more pronounced. if you liked the white clam chowder because it helped neutralize the "fishiness," i do not recommend the clear chowder. 

the clam cakes will be a hit and miss. no matter how many clams they add to the batter, the clams inevitably sink towards the bottom. depending on how often they stir that batter and when they scoop your clam cake, you can bite into clam fritter goodness or sad fried dough. if you like fried dough, then get the doughboys with cinnamon and sugar. keep in mind, they are on the dense side. i wouldn't recommend ordering more than half a dozen with a full meal.

had fried clams, lobster roll it was great

been here a number of times only complaint is the crazy line ups. . for just good food. . worth it off not to long. . personally i just walk up the street to the carousel grill sit down and enjoy. . when i'm done. . you may be at the window. .

pro: clambakes and chowder,dough boys are yummy!! great outdoorsnd indoor casual dining.
con: long lines, they do go faster than you realize!

there’s no way to visit rhode island without eating the seafood in true rhode island fashion. iggy’s is one of those quaint new england clam shacks that we only dream about here in the south. at the oakland beach location, iggy’s sits on the beach and overlooks the narragansett bay. order your food, spread a blanket on the sand, and enjoy the sunset while chompin’ down on a few clam cakes and doughboys. iggy’s was founded in 1924.  the doughboy and chowder house in oakland beach is the oldest stand in rhode island. the beach stand was originally called gus’s until gaetano gravino purchased it in 1989.  it was renamed iggy’s after gravino’s nickname “ig”. iggy’s offers something for everyone, even non seafood lovers. sandwiches range from $2.49-$6.99; doughboys and clam cakes are $7.69 a dozen; red or white chowder is $5.59 a bowl; seafood platters, including fish and chips, fried clams and

went once the fish was market priced which isnt a problem but was frozen .

this tourist trap is not worth the time. super long lines, hardly any clams in the clam cakes, chowder is weak. too crowded and loud. 7 seas on warwick neck is the only real clamshack left in rhode island

best fresh seafood/greasy spoon. iggy's has to have the best fish & chips that i've ever had. not to mention everything else i've tried there from the clamcakes, chowder to the double cheeseburger! i love this place and i've got to go there at least 3-4 times a year!

best doughboys ever

best fritters & chowda around. without a question the best fritters around. used to be a huge fan of the hitching post but over the years my loyalty has changed to iggy's. can't wait to get my fix.

upscale long john silvers. sort of. insufficient seating. typical fried fish with blah batter. doughboy? yep fried batter ball, just like long john silver's but a little lighter. somewhat tasteless. chowder is ok, not the greatest flavor compared to others i've had in the locale.

i voted i liked it because everyone else seems to rave about the place but i think mostly because it's on the bay and you can eat outdoors by the water. the food quality to me is mediocre. add a little seasoning.

chowda and clamcakes. now the food! whenever i come to iggy's i have to get chowder & clam cakes ($7.49), and a stuffie ($2.59). these are my favorites and the chowder and clam cakes are what iggy's is famous for. the clam cakes are mostly doughy with a few pieces of clams. i prefer to dunk them into the chowder seeing as they are more like a side of dense fried bread than anything else. i get the rhode island clam chowder mostly because i can't have dairy. the broth is simple with potatoes and small pieces of clams. my mom got the new england clam chowder. the main difference is the very thick cream based broth with noticeable thickening agents. the stuffie has all the right components, just needed to be cooked a bit longer, the stuffing was on the wet side.
