Blount Clam Shack on the Waterfront

Enjoyed our first time here. Things that were excellent and would get again: giant lobster roll with mayo and cold with warm butter on the side (both were amazing), NE clam chowder, whole belly fried clams. Would not get the clam cakes and the ones with chourico were no better. Otherwise great atmosphere and great food! Update: Came again on a Friday early noon and still very busy in August. The giant lobster rolls are a crowd favorite and for good reason. The fries were a better option than the clam cakes. Would still highly recommend. Pro tip: go early for lobster and fried food and then hit up Amaral’s for chowder and clam cakes to go for dinner later!

Fantastic & Fabulous Shack! We had a lunch here this summer and it was great! Better than expected. We had basically searched on the internet for one of the best places to eat lobster around the Newport area and this shack appeared on many listings. We were not disappointed ! The food was great and so was the environment. I can not recommend this place enough ! What was also very convenient was the possibility to park. Highly recommended!

Best lobster rolls in Rhode Island. Get the roll with the lobster tossed in butter. You cannot go wrong! The service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Wonderful views of the bay. Thoroughly enjoyable!

The giant lobster roll + onion ring combo was too good. One of the best lobster rolls I’ve had, cooked to perfection and flavors were on point. Clam chowder also amazing. Clean seating area and cool location. Portapotties only for restrooms but they seemed clean. Would definitely return if I’m back in the area!

This is a nice place to go if you are looking for some seafood in the area. Counter serve and self seating. Area is nice with good views of the water. It is mostly open air so bad weather might be a downside, not the restaurants fault though. They do serve alcohol. I thought my lobster roll was one of the best I have had and my girlfriend really liked her fried clams.
