★★★★☆ 4.0 Gordon Shaffer · May 2025

In Portsmouth, RI overlooking the waters is this quaint, little walk-up seafood and burger dive. Nothing fancy, but the food being served is excellent! Everything is bagged to go, but picnic tables and bar height tables under tent cover are available for dining. Our group mostly enjoyed their orders. The misses were the crab cake sandwich which lacked meat and seemed to have been once frozen, and clam cakes which were like fritters, but without clams. The lobster rolls were very good, though buttered and without mayonnaise. I loved my cup of clam chowder and a small order of lightly breaded fried shrimp. Both were bountiful and filling.

Stopped by Flo's for some clam cakes and a stuffed quahog. The fiery quahog has a mild kick. Comes with 2 shells, the edge gets a nice crust. I thought it was pretty good. The clam cakes were just okay. Very little clam, mostly dough.

I went in today 5.10.25 easy to order, there’s picnics tables under an open tent, and other tables with seats around the establishment. I lucked out because it wasn’t extremely crowded or busy. Got my hot + fresh fish and chips and clam cakes within 15 minutes! What a Win! Love this place it’s definitely one of my favorites!!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Allan DiSimone · Jun 2025

Been to the Middletown location several times and have had a variety of foods, which were all great. However, here in Portsmouth, I ordered a simple lobster roll(cold version) for $29. For a point of reference, I prefer a little mayo, salt, pepper, maybe a little finely chopped celery, so you could say a minimalistic approach. This lobster salad sandwich was just lobster on a bed of lettuce in a small buttered hot dog roll, zero seasoning. It’s not that it was bad, just less than what it could be

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Preston Alfred · Sep 2024

This was highly recommended by many reviews online. However, many of the reviews mentioned that it has gone downhill over the last few years. We chose to take a chance and unfortunately it was nothing special at all. Not only was it expensive but bland to average on taste. The best item we had was the chowder, which is about the only item I would recommend .For any other items I would go someplace else. This is for the Portsmouth drive in location. I can't speak for the other "dine-in" location.
