Flo's Clam Shack in Rhode Island

"Won't forget this place in May. Overheard a group of people who just said, "we have a new Pope! He's American!" While waiting for my husband patiently waiting to be served at the counter to place his order. Yes, you have to wait in line then they'll deliver to the table. Food was good. I do not like the plastic container for the chowder."

"If you're in Rhode Island, you gotta stop by Flo's. Their famous fried clams and lobster rolls were exactly what I was looking for when I was craving seafood. The fiery stuffed quahog is also a tasty sidedish along with the clam chowder."

"Wow! What a great find!!! Food was amazing, ocean views were great and prices can’t be beat. No wonder they win so many awards. The combo specials are amazing. Or feted the fish sandwich and it hung out both sides of the bun by at least two inches."

"I’m not a sea food lover, but OMG this place makes me want more! The Clam cakes are amazing! And the fried calamari too! The place is welcoming and the staff are very friendly. Definitely recommend!"

"There are varying reviews on Flo’s Clam Shack, this customer says enjoy what they offer & don’t raise your expectations above what’s in front of you. We stood in line for 20 minutes to order & eventually we ended upstairs at the bar. The layout of the place is a bit disconnected but it is a fun experience nonetheless. We ordered the fisherman platter & were satisfied with the flavor & freshness of the seafood! I wanted to get a t-shirt but they are out of stock, maybe indefinitely. Adds to the mystique of this cool place. We will definitely plan to spend more time at the bar on our next visit!"

"Flo’s Clam Shack is a must-visit! The lobster roll was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is laid-back and coastal, giving you that true seaside dining experience. Great food, great vibes, and an all-around fantastic place to enjoy seafood!"

Can’t wait to come back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"The best of the best. We got there when it first opened to avoid any lines and quickly ordered the Large Chowda and the Fisherman’s Plate. The chowda options were regular, creamy, and spicy we ended up going for a creamy and it was a bit soupier than expected. Aside from that there were heaps of clams and potatoes loaded in. Extremely well flavored and not too heavy for the weather. The fisherman’s platter is more than advertised with heaping amounts of fried clams, some scallops, calamari, shrimp and chunk of fish. All the seafood is so fresh and fried well and pair perfectly with their tartar sauce."
