    Stuffed filet with lobster sauce rocks. Great food in average space. Priced reasonably.

    Cheap food served on paper plates and in Styrofoam cups. It is, as many other have said, primarily a fish market with a restaurant attached. If you know that going in and also expect very delicious food and kind service you will be very happy. Also bear in mind that you order your food at the counter, get a number, and someone brings it out to you. I don't know if it's like that for dinner, but that's what happened at our lunch. We had the clam chowder and fish n' chips, both expertly prepared.

    I found this place with the help of Yelp and so glad I tried it. This place by far has the best clamcakes and stuffies. That's right, this place is 10 times better than Flo's clam shack. I have found a new place for my seafood cravings and that place is Anthony's!

    The place to buy all your fish needs when on Aquidneck Island. Let's be frank for a minute: this place is first and foremost, a seafood purveyor - a fish market, which seems like in more recent years, added a dining area next to the fish bar. This is not an insult by any means, but I would consider this place a fish store, with a seating area, and less of a formal "restaurant", though their menu is dense. That being said, having come 3000 miles to eat here, I had the lobster roll, having heard about it for years. A traditional, New England, favorite. And I will say this: I have now had the lobster roll, which (to my disappointment), was served cold, and was overloaded with mayonnaise. It may be what the dish has been for 50+ years, but I guess I was envisioning more lobster, less filler (bread or whatever else they had added), and definitely wanted something served hot. This is less of a criticism of their offering, and speaks more to what I had expected. Guessing I just wanted "my" version of the sandwich, something with a little more of a nod to the revered crustacean, modernized by today's master chefs. None the less, was happy to have the $13+ sandwich, and washed it down with a microbrew. With an extensive menu, this place is the local diner of the area. But as I said earlier - the sheer selection of offerings in their fish market should be enough to get you to come here. Kind of harder to spot, look for TOPPA FOOD Co., which sits right next door.

    Nobody picked up phone when I called before I went there. When we did arrive, we found a long line of people waiting to order and then for tables. I decided to call in again to order take-out instead of waiting in line. Fortunately this time someone picked up phone and took my orders. NE Clam Chowder is ok. Swordfish on house salad is great! Price is very reasonable. Considering restaraunts in Newport are all relatively busy and expensive, Anthony's is a great value for the family. Just don't expect too much on dinning atmosphere.

    I really enjoyed my lobster roll - buttered grilled long hot dog roll - perfectly done a bed of lettuce then the lobster - chilled a very very light dressing of mayo almost not there and wicked good lobster - a whole lobster !! Not just the claws and the rubber you get in other rolls - this was knuckle - body and the whole lobster tail cubed - I was actually amazed. I had read in YELP about the price - mine was $24 bucks and worth the price - we stopped at Clements market after lunch and their 1.5 live lobsters were $ 16 bucks a pound. So I think I scored. While I wouldn't order a $ 24 dollar every day. This was a huge treat - meeting friends from Newport for a lunch of catching up. They have beer and wine - all kinds of regular coke/Pepsi brands and a plethora of locally bottled stuff !! My wife had the fish tacos on a black bean salsa with fries and our friends had huge portions of fish and chips - golden brown and when opened so moist. You can cook fish and chips even a moment too long and it's a disaster. Not here - they rocked it.. BTW none of that out of the 20 gallon bucket of cole slaw here that you can't eat - this was fresh crisp chopped and delivered ice cold. You order at the counter and the give you a number on a 2 foot high pole you place on you clean table. The waitresses work as a team so as soon as you meal is done they bring it right over. Mine came first - them my wife's separately then our friends a couple of minutes later but you know what - it works because you get yours cold or hot with crisp fries that haven't been sitting around. Clean bathrooms - and I haven't ever talked about the fish market. This was on diner drive-ins and dives and we've been to more than a few of those locations. This was the best on yet. $ 51 bucks for two sodas - one red wine - lobster roll - fish tacos and I almost forgot we tried the Kung Po Calamari - crazy good. Left $ 8 bucks for the waitress team so out the door for $60 bucks totally satisfied and feeling I got everything I paid for..it's bright - not fancy and really really good. We usually stop at Flo's coming off the beach and while Anthony's doesn't have the view and the end of day beach-iness this place rocks for the food. You won't be disappointed. Shut up about a lobster roll costing $ 24 bucks. Just go - you'll see what I'm talking about !!!

    Seafood is the best I've had in Little Rhodey. The Thai calamari is a must, the baked scrod was perfect. I've heard awesome things about the Portuguese Fish Chowder, definitely getting it next time with fried clams. So far it sits comfortably above Flo's without the view.

    Anthony's fits my bill as a local resaturant with good food and great value. I liked it so much that i ate there twice in three days in Newport. And in many visits to Newport, I have come to like several restaurants there.

    I had high expectations from everything I read and was excited to go. We had gone to Scales & Shells the night before and was expecting our Anthony's experience to be better (S & S was great). I got the clam chowder, 1 shrimp cocktailand lobster roll with ff and iced tea. The clam chowder was just okay. Lg chunks of potatoes and the soup was really really thick. The 1 shrimp cocktail was delicious b/c the cocktail sauce was one of the best I've ever had. The lobster roll didn't come with a lot of meat, the roll was huge and very bready and not buttered/grilled. The ff were good. Overall, it was just an okay roll. My boyfriend got the RI clam chowder which was delicious. The broth was peppery and yummy. I wish I had gotten that. He also got the clam cakes which was basically fried dough with 1 tiny piece of clam in it. He was really really disappointed and ended up leaving slightly hungry even after I shared my meal. He picked out the clams and left the dough. Cost: 1 lobster roll, 2 small chowders, 1 shrimp cocktail, clam cakes, 1 iced tea, 1 beer, tax and tip = $38 Ambiance: basically none. You order at a counter, get your own utensils, they give you a number and someone delivers your food. All in all, it's nothing to write home about. Everything on the menu looked deep fried. Go to S & S instead if you want a great seafood meal.

    I'm surprised i'd never been here before, since it is right by my (deceased) grandparents house. this is a local place, with a fish market on one side and a restaurant on the other. you order at the counter then sit. there is outdoor seating too. when we got there around 330 or 4pm on a monday, it was pretty empty so we got to sit right away. we all had bowls of clam chowder (about $4). it was fresh tasting, but could use some seasoning. we all added salt and that improved it. it was just a bit bland. we also each got a spicy stuffed quahog (about $2 i think) mmm those were the best thing. j also got clam cakes (4 for $2 added onto a bowl of soup). jay and j liked them so i think they were good, it was my first time trying a clam cake and they're just puffed fried dough balls, which i didnt like. service was friendly, everything was cheap. the only downside was the seasoning on the soup, so we really liked it. if you want a good, cheap, seafood meal, come here!! and its right next to newport too.

    I actually used Yelp to find this place and it did not disappoint. In fact, it was better than I expected! They make phenomenal Rhode Island chowder (no cream) and New England chowder (with the cream). They also had some of the best clamcakes I've ever tried and although I don't eat lobster rolls (because I don't like mayonnaise) the people I were with said they were the best rolls they had ever had. I can't wait to visit this place again but unfortunately I live 2000 miles away.

    Some of the best seafood in Newport (and this is a serious seafood town). Definitely not as upscale as some of the places that you'll find on America's Cup Boulevard, but the food is great and the prices are reasonable. I'm particularly a fan of the clam chowder and stuffed sole.

    Born and raised in the South on the water I need fresh seafood. Knowing that we were going to live in the North for 10 months our family was grateful to have found Anthony's. Generous portions of delicious seafood. I highly recommend the creamy New England Chowder too! Thanks ya'll!!!

  • Vanessa E.

    This is a good place for fresh, local seafood. The location and ambience are nothing special and most of the menu items are deep fried, but it's good. I like the chowders. They offer traditional New England-style clam chowder and a Portuguese chowder that includes Chourico. We often get take-out.

  • Xiaoyi W.

    Thanks yelp for an amazing lunch! We got the lobster rolls, the kung pao calamari, and the salmwich. Everything was delish but our favorite was the salmwich, with perfectly cooked salmon with cheese and pesto on a buttered bun. We found the king pao calamari to be a bit too on the sweet side and needing more acid. The lobster roll was fresh but much more expensive ($22) than the seafood shack by the beach in Newport (2 for $12) in late May.

    After reading Yelp's reviews, my family and I decided to go here for dinner while we were visiting RI for the weekend. From the main entrance it appears that this place is a fish market, but to the right is the restaurant. You order the food at the counter and is given a number to take back to your table. Sodas, tap water & plastic cups are in the refrigerators, which you need to get yourself. Service was friendly but a lot of it was self service. Pros: We ordered the Portuguese Fish Chowder, NE clam chowders, Fish & Chips, fish tacos and lobster rolls. Both chowders were delicious and packed with seafood and potato. Every orders came with a good side portion of fries. The portions were pretty big. Cons: Everything else had little or no flavor. The lobster rolls were filled with lobster but very bland. The fish taco were greasy, over breaded and had no flavor. You only get 2 medium pieces of fish for the fish & chips and the rest were French fries. The meal portions were pretty big but were mostly fries. Pretty expensive for mostly fries. I would come back for the chowders only.

    This place is an excellent seafood market and restaurant. As most seafood markets have the freshest seafood, they always make the best restaurants as well and this one does just that in the best way. The juiciest stuffie's I've had yet. The New England Mega Meal has everything you could want and way more than enough for 2 people. Great seafood place!

    If I could give no stars I would! I actually had high hopes for Anthony's seafood when my fiancé told me we were going to go there, considering it was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives but it was a complete let down. Now we have never been here before, so for obvious reason we assumed it was like a typical restaurant, but no! We walked to the door, hadn't even gotten in and a man said it was a 40 minute wait. I didn't think that was bad considering we went on a Saturday night around 6pm, so we said we would wait. We finally got in the door and there was a line forming, no hostess to take our name and number of guests or anything like that. So I just thought it was there version of making people wait.....no big deal. We eventually get close to what we realized was a cash register, so now I was a little confused. After watching the people ahead of us, apparently you order, buy drinks (sorry no free refills on anything except tap water) and pay before you even get a seat! I wasn't to pleased about this. When we got to the cash register, the girl was rude, which I noticed her being rude with the customers before us, so clearly just another negative. Horrible set up and workers.....who wouldn't love this place? (Note this is sarcasm) We got the Kung Pao Calamari, my fiancé got the Portuguese Fish Chowder, for our meals I got the grilled pesto marinara Salmon with Rice Pilaf and a side salad. My fiancé got the Seafood Nantucket. So to recap, wait 40 minutes in line just to order.....then wait another 20 to even sit and then they don't cook your food till you sit (which was surprisingly the only thing they do that makes sense) which means you wait for flipping ever just to eat! Once we eventually sat down, our appetizer and soup did come out pretty quickly, however, the Kung Pao Calamari wasn't as good as reviews I had read about it. We are huge seafood lovers and this was sub par. The sauce is decent but they don't even toss the calamari in the sauce, they just pour a little over, so half the calamari had nothing on it. The soup I did not try but my fiancé said it was about 90% chourico and 10% fish, which is a bit of a let down and kinda annoying. The biggest issue I had was when out meals came out. I got my salmon and the side salad was clearly not made fresh, it was in a plastic container that someone must make a bunch early in the morning to last the day. I couldn't even mix my salad with the dressing because the container was so small. My fiancés food was ok, and I am using that term loosely, we expected almost like a baked cod type dish but with the other fish, with bread crumbs on top. Instead it was extremely soupy and messy. Then my salmon.....oh lord I don't know why it was so difficult. My salmon did not have the pesto marinara on it, but in a side cup which is weird, and it was ice cold....so I was to put cold crappy sauce on my hot salmon? I don't think so. I asked the bus girl if she could bring my the garlic butter sauce instead and to make sure it was hot because cold makes no sense. She quickly came back with COLD garlic butter. WTF!!! I clearly stated hot and she paid no attention. Now onto the rice pilaf....it was not rice pilaf. It was basically Spanish rice, which personally I don't like. I also don't like ordering rice pilaf, expect rice pilaf and then NOT get rice pilaf. So between the rice and the salmon I was done. I called the bus girl back over, explained I was unhappy, she said she could get a manager which I said would be a good thing. Another girl comes over, definitely not the manager, but OK, and I explained to her that cold butter for hot salmon makes no sense, what was I to do? Rub butter all over my salmon?? I think NOT! She did take my meal back and took it off the bill. But by this point I just wanted to get up and leave. I waited for my fiancé to finish, which he didn't even want to but he was hungry. When he was done we got up, left and will never return! I highly.....I repeat, HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND Anthony's Seafood!!

    The food was delicious (and reasonably priced), but there just wasn't a "restaurant" feel to the place. it was more like a fast food place just just happens to serve up some awesome seafood. The New England clam chowder was very delicious and not skimpy on the clams by any stretch of the imagination and my lobster was cooked to perfection. Like I said, the food is awesome, but the atmosphere is more of a fish market that has some booths. I would definitely recommend it for some fresh and delicious sea food.

  • Rachel Z.

    Great price family style restaurant, all the seafood are very fresh, like oyster, lobster, also king crab leg and scallops. At least we order pineapple sobert, it was soo good!!

    we thought it would be prudent to have something to eat before heading to newport winery, so I did a quick search on yelp and found this place. Based on reviews we went for the items people loved. I got the New England clam chowder and added the crab cakes to the deal. My husband got the lobster roll. We are early enough in the season that it wasn't too busy so we decided to sit down for our meal. Our food came very fast, in under 10 minutes. This place does not skimp on the lobster roll. It was a big roll filled with a ton of lobster meat. It tasted delicious. The clam chowder was incredibly tasty, and I'm normally not a fan of chowder. I didn't like all the potatoes in the chowder but overall excellent. The crab cakes were fried goodness. Cooked to order, i ate them up and occasionally dipped a bite into the chowder. This place is a definite local gem. If you want fresh seafood to go, they've got quite the selection too.

    We had the mussel lemon butter over pasta, fish n chip, and a stuffed quahog. The stuffed Quahog was too salty for us, but the other dishes were oh so delicious and satiating to the point we had to take some back to the hotel. The pasta came with an immense amount of mussel which was quite satisfying. The fish and chip was perfectly fried and the cole slaw as fresh as can be. We each had drinks and the total came out to only $31! Funny thing is, they do not accept tip, or at least they don't require it. This turned out to be unfortunate because their service was so prompt and courteous that I felt the waiters deserved a new system which allows them to accept tips.

  • Marbles L.

    Great seafood restaurant! Everything is fresh and very reasonably priced. Steamers were all meaty and flavorful, I always leave wanting more. The clam cakes were adorable! They come out piping hot; despite being deep fried, they were not greasy. You can taste the clam juice in the clam cakes, and see actual clam bits in them. Clam chowder is very heavy - in a good way. It's a cup of ocean goodness, you get mouthful after mouthful of delicious clams and potatoes. Try dunking the clam cake into the clam chowder! The stuffies were delicious, its mixed with chourice and clam and other mouthwatering ingredients. You can get a mild one or a spicy one, and both are great addition to your meal. I come here every time I visit Rhode Island!

    Mehhhhh this place is just ok. I came after reading the rave reviews for a quick lunch. The lobster roll was bland and the fish and chips were subpar. Fries were good ! And chowders were good.

    I ordered double stuffed soule with lobster. I received a single piece of fish with a slice in the middle not even all the way thru and no lobster...None! And the other order was fried flounder and chips...we couldn't any FISH just the small amount LINING the fried batter...no flaky fish on the inside.None! HORRIBLE I will never go back !

  • Kris A.

    Please stop going here if you don't rate them 4 or higher ....don't get me wrong I've had better but I just can't get enough of Anthony's so please stay home if you don't love it that way my wait time will go down... Thank you for your anticipated cooperation........ And one more thing if it's your first time and didn't do your homework before coming skip the review your expectations are your problem.

  • Bruce C.

    Worst seafood I have ever eaten. Family all has stomach aches right now. Breaded fish tasted horribly bad. Stuffed sole was all breading with a thin layer of sole around it. Clam fritters or whatever they were, all breading. Can't believe the line at this place for such horrible seafood. Take your chances, but as for me I would rather eat a McDonald's fillet of fish any day-it is that bad!

  • Gregory M.

    This hidden gem is so awesome, as we were recommended this place by a "local" resident. I am so happy that we went as the food was amazing. There are no frills here just great food. The prices are very reasonable, we will return!

  • C B.

    This spot is pretty flipping awesome. I'm on vacation and found it through Yelp as the highest rated local restaurant. I live in Virginia Beach, also a touristy area, and I saw it was also a seafood market which locked in the deal. My Dad and I were enthralled we found such a gem. It's such a busy local spot they request you order before if you dine in because as someone that put in several years in the industry it takes *forever* for people to eat lobster and crab legs. The staff isn't crazy friendly so don't get your panties in a bunch about that; they mean business so give this place a shot. Chances are you won't regret it. Pros-Short wait time, 1 and 2 lb lobster, extremely reasonable market prices, beer & wine selection, a very tasty meal altogether Cons-No servers just bussers (self-service), mosquitos outside during the evening dining hours, no full bar After trying hard to find a local spot I'm ecstatic Yelp led me to them...thank you both for your impeccable service! I even searched for and discovered a Yelp sticker bc I knew it had to be there!

    I used to hate Anthony's. I used to refuse to go in. That's because I used to hate seafood, even the thought of the smell of it. Now, I love seafood. Naturally, I love Anthony's! Anthony's is great for many reasons. The best.. is that you can buy fresh fish to take home and cook (I come in at least once a week to get my fish for the week). OR you can sit in the restaurant part and order cooked seafood! The food served is delicious, and literally right off the boat. Their chicken fingers are also excellent. The atmosphere is beachy, laid back, and family fun.. especially for a big lobster dinner! In the summer, it does get crowded and you may have to wait for a table. But it is so worth it! I highly recommend coming in for a meal, or to get your fresh fish to cook up at home!

  • Jeanyoung J.

    Amazing, fresh, perfectly-cooked seafood with generous portions. The fried stuff wasn't overly battered or greasy (but greasy nonetheless; it's fried after all) and the steamed stuff wasn't overcooked, so no rubbery clams or anything. The seafood was just so fresh. Definitely worth a visit or two!

    review for lobster only. Quahog, fried whole belly clams, fish chowder Skip. They're good but not great. And not good enough to order again. But the lobster. WOW. 2lb lobster meal deal is an amazing deal for those with a big appetite. Lobster is juicy and delicious. No gimmicks done - just really good local lobster that Newport is privileged to have. Just get an extra lobster if you're thinking about ordering the appetizers. You won't regret it.

    I've been going to Anthony's restaurant and market for the past 16 years. Long before it was rated as Best Seafood in RI!! Truly, they do have the best lobster roll on the planet. And I grew up spending every summer on the Cape! A nice bun toasted and split open, with a full lobster cut into large chunks with light mayo and nothing else! Exactly what a lobster role should be! The side of cole slaw is excellent and a great way to get the veggies you need- and the fries are excellent too. I usually order an extra coleslaw, instead of fries. After all- summer means the beach, swimsuits ... The fried clams are also excellent done in a nice light batter. But heh- you're in New England, so don't even dream of ordering clam "strips"! Get the fried clam dinner plate, with clam bellies- yum. In the winter the clams tend to be small, so check before ordering or you'll be eating mostly batter. Steamed mussels are also great, and can be bought in the market as well for dishes you want to try at home. I have great respect for Anthony's. It is the very best of no frills seafood- so don't miss it!! Be prepared for long lines in season, but it is worth the wait.

  • Rod H.

    I don't understand the hype. Yes the Portuguese Fish Chowder was excellent. The rest was all below par, we had king pau calamari, the Shore Meal ( mussels and steamers) and the baked scallops. The seafood didn't seem fresh to us, the mussels almost tasteless. We had to wait nearly 30 mins for the meal, at 8pm on a Wednesday. The food isn't good enough to warrant the wait. My advice, run in for a scoop of one of the soups and skoot.

  • Derek Q.

    This is my first review after using Yelp for a couple of years. I'm lazy. If you are expecting a fancy seafood restaurant, this is not the place. However, if you are like me and want to find the local fare at what the locals are paying, this is the place! This is an amazing seafood restaurant! Do yourself a favor and bring everyone, including yourself, to this place and enjoy a simple yet amazing experience.

  • Kristin I.

    The stuffed clams were all breadcrumbs. The lobster rolls were half empty, freezing cold and the bread wasn't buttered. The market price for their lobster roll was priced higher than most places in downtown Newport! Not worth the trip.

    (1)

  • Andrea I.

    Portuguese chowder was to die for spicy lots of seafood and delicious. I made the mistake of ordering the tuna (medium rare) it was very dry and way over done. I tried but honestly couldn't eat it so asked for a rare piece. After 20 minutes it came back medium I gave up and just ate it. Probably safer to stick to the chowder and fried entrees my husband had the calamari which he said was not bad (not great though). Not sure what DDD was raving about but I can say I tried it and probably wont go back.

  • Chris K.

    I love this place. Great place to pickup some fresh seafood. I have bought Cod, shrimp, oysters, littlenecks here and have not been dissapointed with the counter service or the quality of seafood. Prices are reasonable for the area. Have eaten in their "restaurant", had teh fried platter which was quite good. Clam chowder is good as well. Definitely would recommend this place to others

  • Kevin T.

    Must get: -Portuguese fish chowder rocks! -Best Fish and Chips I've ever had (way better than the ones they make across the pond) Pass on the clam strips here though, Flo's is better...

  • Ev C.

    I was upset that Flo's was closed but the seafood here was so fresh and delicious it would deft eat here.

  • James L.

    I had several restaurants scoped out but after going to Anthony's I never tried any of the others. The Portuguese chowder was as good as all the reviews claimed and I ended up getting five pints to take back home. I also had the Lobster Roll that was more pricey than I expected ($24!) but I'd rather have the memory than the money!

    Some of the best lobsters I've had at the best prices. No frill place, just enjoy the seafood. The Portuguese Fish Chowder is awesome.

    In looking for a restaurant - and in particular, a seafood restaurant - I am one that doesn't care much for the pomp and circumstance of one of the "fancy" restaurants in downtown Newport. My theory is always that I will pay for the food, but not the atmosphere. Anthony's is definitely my #1 seafood restaurant in the Newport area. The prices are very reasonable, the food fresh, and the selection very good. You have the option of coming in to buy fresh to take home or dine-in and they will cook for you. Every meal I've had here has been plentiful and delicious. From wonderful falling-apart fish and chips to calamari with a delicious light breading to tuna steaks so meaty that I had to take some home. The staff is friendly and helpful as well - so much so that it almost has the feeling of eating at a friend's house and having them cook for you. Remember, it's not flashy. The food is great and the price is right. Those are my measures of success, and Anthony's hits them right on the mark.

  • Sarah P.

    Yum. My first ever lobster roll was here and it was delicious. Large order of fried oysters was a ton of food, they were hot, crisp, and yummy. Not like most fried oyster plates where you get only a handful. Shrimp cocktail, while just a plate with a bunch of shrimp, was great no frills fresh shrimp. The seafood chowder was spicy and rich, very good. The food here is not fancy or prepared fancifully, but it is, above all, fresh. If I lived nearer, I'd eat here on a regular basis.

    (5)

  • Sarah G.

    4 stars and here is why. atmosphere: not so great, but the place is nice and bright. doesnt smell fishy at all, so if you are going with someone who doesnt like fish or the smell dont worry. my friend had a burger and said it was a really tasty hamburger. he said he would go back for the hamburger so thats good. we also had the kung pow calamari and it was really good. the calamari is excellent. I had the Portuguese fish chowder and it is outstanding. very tasty. Food wise this place is a 4.5 but esthetically its a 3.5. Price wise I would say its pretty average. For the cheeseburger it was $8 and it was a big burger with fries. The calamari was $9 which is a really good price for such tasty calamari. The soup was $4, but it had lots of chourico, fish, scallops, and potatoes. Overall the food is really good and unless you are looking to impress someone with linen tablecloths this is definitely a great place to eat~

    Food is GREAT. Good food for the price, big portions. The reason I did not rate a 5 is due to the lacking of ambience. You order as you walk in- not when you sit down at the table. I guess you save in tip this way :). I totally will come back when visiting Newport. Diner style...

    The Portuguese Fish Chowder is the best chowder I've ever had hands down! If only you could get chowder in a bread bowl! The menu is huge and everything looks/tastes great. The entire staff is friendly and everyone seems to enjoy working here. Anthonys has an attached fish market that sells everything from Calimari to amazing crab cakes to go

    Tried for the first time last night, was expecting a meal to best all of other fried seafood experiences in the area based on the Yelp reviews, but sadly this place didn't deliver. We tried a little bit of everything...chowder (pretty good, some herbs so decent flavor), oysters and littlenecks (good), stuffie (good but better elsewhere), clam cakes (very good, best of our meal), and the fried fisherman's platter (just ok). The platter is a mix of fish, scallops, shrimp and clams. The "good" is the light batter. The "bad": We had 3 huge clumps of batter/multiple pieces of seafood mixed together, not good; bay scallops (?!), I have been too to many to count fried seafood joints and have never had those tiny, cheap tasteless morsels on a fisherman's plate. They do sell sea scallops so they should be on there. Overall, Flo's takes the cake in comparison, won't be back.

    (caveat: I traveled to this area a lot so after going through all the tourist haunts I started searching for the local recommend joints where it's not about paying for any view, it's about freshness and goodness and that's what I consistently get here.) So where do I start... -Lobster Roll: Definitely the best place on the island for the meat alone, though I have to say brick ally pub does the bread a bit better because of their supper buttered saltiness of their toast that counters the sweetness of the lobster. -The soups are always great here but the best they have I would say is the portugese fish chowder. It may or may not be as good or better than any in fall river but of their soups I would say this one is the best for me. -Clam cakes is definitely a local thing but for me it's intense in density and is perfect for those cold days when you just want soup and bread hartiness. Do like the islanders do and buy the rhode island clam, dipp this cake in and get intense clam goodness. -Stuffies are extremely filling here and are one of the better i've tasted in the area. It's a local thing so why not. -Kung pow calamari is one that always intrigued me on the menu but I never had a large enough stomach to eat this appetizer and my other faves but when I get back in town I will. My co-workers that go out here even more often LOVE this one and order it every time. They have good palates so I think I may just have to do this and a chowder or something. -Stuffed sole was awesome! The lobster sauce just perfectly enhances the rest of the flavors and is a treat for your nose. just try it. trust me. -The fish taco,(singular), is huge! Now I have to admit i'm the opposite of some reviewers on this blog and I prefer the baja/california fish tacos but for an adaptation/fusion with east coast style it works for what it is. Again, I'm not eating this because i'm a pacific coast fish taco type of person. Trully, you can't really go wrong here. It's great on the budget satisfying on the palate and easy to get to.

    Seriously an amazing meal...and this is after multiple mediocre and absurdly overpriced meals the previous few times in Newport. 2 lobsters for $24, and legit lobsters at that. The "Stuffie" (stuffed Quahog) had some spice, and even the shrimp cocktail was fantastic.

    (5)

  • Chris P.

    The food was decent. My lower appraisal stems from the hair that my friend found in her chowder. The Calamari was solid if not unremarkable. The Clams and oysters are decent. But be warned that this is a small place and I would not reccomend this place for parties exceeding 5 as you will be seated at seperate tables.

    I am craving seafood and of course I am thinking of ANTHONY'S! My first visit was this summer when couple of us visited Newport, RI. Four days we stayed in RI, we had Anthony's 5 times! (3 lunches and 2 dinners) LOL!!! I wish North Jersey had great reasonably priced seafood restaurant...

    My first time eating here was around June 7th of this year. My boyfriend and I had lobster rolls, and clam chowder. It was delicious! The price was decent but the taste was worth every penny! My second time here was for my boyfriend's birthday on August 16th and we ordered a mix of a whole lobster, clams and corn. I believe it was $29.00. It was so good! My boyfriend ordered fried clam strips, chowder, and his favorite lobster roll. I think the total that I spent was around $70.00 including our drinks. It was pretty good, considering you won't get that price at a Joe's Crabshack in Socal, where we're from. Our third time...yes, a third time, was on August 23rd. We ordered the twin lobsters and fried calamari. It was again delicious. Our occassion this time was we introduced this place to my friends, and my boyfriend was headed back to Socal. I am thinking of buying some of their mussels, shrimp or lobster to cook at home one of these days. The only reason I did not give the last star was that the employees seemed like they had no personalities or just disliked their job, or just can't wait to close down. Just a little personallity can change the atmosphere, you know?...maybe get even more tips from me next time. Overall satisfied and can't wait to go back.

    My husband and I went for lunch on a Tuesday. When you walk in you order and pick out your drinks. We also ordered chowder and then picked a table. Like a hosp. cafeteria. We each chose the Portuguese fish chowder. I had cup and he had a bowl. The chowder was awesome. There was linguica(sp*) along with sea scallops, clams, shrimp, and fish. We like spicy so this was perfect. We also ordered a seafood platter which was brought out within minutes to our table. That was also incredible. The seafood was fresh and fried perfectly. We ate so much I thought I was burst and still brought home a full box from our seafood platter. Our whole lunch took less than an hour and we were off. This place was so easy. We didn't have to wait for anything and when we were done we walked out the door. I plan to grab takeout and have a picnic when some warm weather returns. I LOVED this place. Just be ready for the low key atmosphere. Prices were good too. Our whole meal was under $40 including the tip we left in the tip jar.

  • Luke R.

    Everybody knows about Flo's. Not everybody knows about Anthony's. For a low price, we were able to buy two huge live lobsters to take back to the place for boiling. We also took two stuffies to bake. That was not an expensive endeavor at all. Then we returned to dine at the restaurant. Every bit of stuffie and fried clam we had was tasty. The parking lot had plenty of spaces even when the restaurant was full.

    It's hard to find a good place to eat in such a small town. However, this was easily the best meal I had during my 4 days in Newport/Middletown. Ordered one of each oyster and a lobster roll. I'd highly recommend the lobster roll, but next time I would ask for easy mayo. The sandwich comes with a lot of lobster meat, which explains why the plate is a bit on the pricy side. Still worth the price though. My coworker got the mega meal, which came with a giant whole lobster, potatoes, chourino, clams, and steamers. That was the first time I ever had a steamer, which I wasnt too fond of...a little too gritty for my taste. Both clam chowders were delicious too. If i'm ever in town again, I'll definitely be back.

    It's where the folks who live here go to eat great, affordable seafood. Not much in the way of mood or ambience, but who cares? The lobster roll was excellent. The NE clam chowder was excellent as we're the crab cakes.

    Best Portuguese style clam chowder! Spicy with chorizo and very flavorful. Fish tacos are awesome, fresh, lightly battered and fried with all fresh accompaniments. Worth the drive, you will not be disappointed.

  • Farhan M.

    We stopped off at this place for dinner after doing the Cliff Walk. I had a bowl of the clam chowder which was good but a little on the thick side. My son had an order of crab legs (3 for $7) which were very meaty and sweet. We also ordered fish and chips. I don't know what kind of fish it was but the batter stayed on and it seems really freash because the meat was so flakey. My wife and I also shared a lobster roll. If you're in the mood for good food, but don't feel like going to an upscale sea food restaurant Anthony's provides good value.

    (4)

  • Angela N.

    Do not go here for a dining experience or ambiance. The food is good and a value for the money but food is ordered at the counter, you receive a table number and food is brought to you approximately 20 minutes later. Food was delicious, fresh, well cooked and seasoned. Wish they would make a more dine-in friendly version of this restaurant.

    I was in Newport for three days and I must say that the food here is amazing. However, thanks to yelp I came across Anthony's Seafood Restaurant and have now set a new standard for seafood. This place is ridiculosly good. Everything we had we amazing!

  • Hannah C.

    Very yummy :) My family and I went here for lunch and it was good prices and great seafood. My mom got the calamari kong-pao which she said was amazing! My dad got the fish and chips which was three huge pieces of nice hot cod. I got the cod fish sandwich which was good, not great, not bad, just good. We also got soup and bacon wrapped scallops for dinner. Both which were great! This place is nothing fancy, just a good, locals place. Would definitely return. Pics coming soon

    5 stars...I only give 5 stars if I'm blown away or they have a dish that I crave and need to go back for. I'm in love with their Portuguese Fish Chowder. I live in NJ and its a 4 hour drive. I make sure to eat the soup and then take some home with me in a cooler with ice. Its awesome! Lots of seafood chunks in there! I went last weekend and I happened to get their lobster roll. OMG it had to be the best one I got in Rhode Island...or EVER. It just has nice chunks and lobes of lobster (not just shredded pieces). As soon as I took my first bite, I knew it was a good one. I will now always get both and but I'm torn because I want to try other things on their menu.. :( BTW the last time I got the kung pao calamari, it was just okay...trust me the Portuguese Fish Chowder and Lobster roll is where its at!! Also, FYI people start lining up even at off peak times.

  • Ken T.

    What a find! If you thought you could only eat seafood by dropping a ton of cash, you are WRONG. The fish chowder was great, and was a great alternative to the usual NE Clam Chowder. The Stuffed Quahog was a little too bready for me but it had a nice spicy kick to it. KungPao Calamari you can skip. But the LOBSTAH YOU CANNOT. At other places, it's hard to enjoy fresh lobster when you have tears streaming down your face as you think about the pricey bill you'll end up getting. At Anthony's, you won't have to go through that. The 2lb lobster deal is SLICK and you'll be able to enjoy every single bite of it- tears free.

  • Helen D.

    Awesome no frills seafood place! As others have said, it's cafeteria style so don't come expecting a fancy dine-in experience. We made it in the door about 10 minutes before their kitchen closed so we quickly ordered 2 stuffies and a 2-lb lobster. I wanted to eat everything on the menu but I just didn't have enough stomach space. Sad face. Stuffies - amazing seafood stuffed clams. I ordered mild and it still had a bit of a kick. Lobster - we devoured it while it was piping hot. Came with corn and potatoes. It was great, but the meat was a bit chewy. Bibs and utensils are all provided. There's also a clean! spacious bathroom to wash off all that lobster gunk. Next time I'm in Newport, I'm stopping by for some fish and chips.

    Anthony's is a more of like a side thing for the Seafood market. The service is basically order and then sit down. Service is kind of odd, no one really checks on you but they'll bus your table after you leave. It's a weird system, especially with the little signs on the table that suggests you leave a 10% tip. They even mention how it's a little unusual. However, the food is good, and worth it. I got the spicy stuff-just to say I did and it was good. If you've never had it before it's not a disappointment, like a spicy, chewy crabcake. Good. The Kung Pao Calamari is in an interesting novelty, tasty but kind of gimmicky. Overall, I'd come back because the seafood I had was terrific and I want to try more. We had come here after a disappointing brunch and even being fed already we were impressed with the food here.

  • Esther Y.

    Oh my.. Where to start. We ordered the new england clam chowder, fish and chips, kung pao calamari, mussels pasta, clam strips and a flounder fish and chips and boy was it a lot of food. Everything tastes fresh and very flavorful.. Totally worth trying this place out. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are big imo.. The service was great as well. The line tends to get long so try to avoid peak hours! Def. try the chowder and the kung pao calamari!! It's not overrated!

  • Brian C.

    You may have heard about this place on Diners Dives and Drive-ins. That show that is hosted by that annoying Guy Fieri. Not only does he annoy you on TV, but his appearance at any restaurant will cause the place to soar in popularity and have a long line of people who watched the show. Food Network, why? Seriously, why? Anyway, lobster was pretty good. Having just come from Maine, it was just OK, but for the area, I don't think there are many choices that are better than this place. The stuffed quahog was a nice side accompaniment to the meal. Lots of breading, good amount of spicy kick if you order hot. Clam chowder was quite good. Not too thick and creamy enough. The fish and chips were really one of the best. Super flaky cod filets battered lightly and fried to a crisp. Regardless of what that Guy Fieri says and what adjectives he tries to recycle in talking about the food here, it's worth a trip over and worth the 15 minute wait.

  • Alexandra L.

    The Quick: Fantastic calamari special featured on DDD and a favorite spot among locals. Nothing fancy but great seafood. Worth a quick stop. The Details: A large and clean "hole in the wall", Anthony's is a local favorite and provides the fish to many popular downtown restaurants. The calamari special on DDD was sweet and spicy, very different and addicting. The lobster roll was good but "market price" cost us more than multiple fancy waterfront restaurants-- and this was served on plastic. Wait until lobster is more in season and avoid market price at all cost. The Damage: The calamari special, one lobster roll, small clam strips cost us ~ $45. I'd just stick with the calamari and avoid the $22 lobster roll at a no frills joint.

    Our first experience with Anthony's seafood was when I was picking up food to go for a stay at the Rose Island Lighthouse. I ordered the Portuguese Fish Chowder, spicy stuffies, and stuffed mushrooms. YES. That meal later heated up was perfection. I am raving about their fish chowder, chock full of scallops, fish, clams, etc. so full of flavor. And it heats up so well! Their stuffies were good, some of the better stuffies we had in Rhode Island. Finally, their stuffed mushrooms were a hit! Stuffed with more seafood than their stuffie counterpart, I also highly recommend these! Okay, now for our actual sit-in experience. I came with a party of four. After settling on what we wanted to order, we placed the order at the front desk and were seated. Anthony's is a local place and it definitely feels that way. No frills. No fancy bits. No pretenses. You're here for your awesome seafood dishes and no other nonsense. I love it. I ordered their stuffed sole entry and also got to try their Kung pao calamari. The stuffed sole was great, stuffed with the same thing their mushrooms were so I can't complain at all. The only nitpick I had was how heavy the dish was, but that's hardly something to complain about. My boyfriend's calamari though was perfect. Tender, crispy, not overcooked at all! And the sauce was great! Not too much or too little. Finally! Yes. We totally had leftovers to take home. So find your way to Anthony's Seafood. Get ready for a bit of a wait cause it's popular and rightfully so!

    Great local food. Twin lobster special is a deal for Newport. You have to try the spicy stuffie... It was great. The Kung Pao Calamari was also great. A must visit when in Rhode Island.

    Rhode Island cuisine is basically limited to seafood. Anthony's is a good fish market and a great place to eat also. There are no frills at all, but with fish this fresh and delicious, they don't need it. Let's get the bad out of the way. The line is long. It'll move faster than it looks, but you're going to wait, especially in the summer. The tables belong in a cheap pizzeria. The service is friendly, but minimal. The prices are not crazy for seafood, but it is not cheap. Come here to eat, because it's all about the food. The Portugese Fish Chowder. It's spicy and creamy and packed with fish with some sausage in there also. I will never go to Rhode Island ever and not get the Portugese Fish Chowder at Anthony's. The clam chowder is also good. Go for the Shore Dinner. It runs you more than $20, but you get a gigantic bowl with mussels and clams plus butter and broth to dip. It come with chourico sausage and an ear of corn. The boiled potatoes are surprisingly tasty. And weirdly, there is a hot dog sitting in the bottom. If you're getting full, skip the hot dog. My wife loves the scallops. I like the stuffed sole and the Seafood Nantucket is very good. The tuna steak is very good, though they won't make it as rare as I'd like. Seriously, this is the place to eat on Aquidneck Island. Do it.

  • Larry D.

    Yelp reviews are consistently accurate, but it missed the mark this time. Based on the star rating, I was ready for a great lunch experience with great sea food and a bit of local personality. What I experienced was mediocre food and a cold, cafeteria style set up. Not impressed to say the least. To be fair, the small cup of chowder was actually good, so we started off well, but the fish & chips were dreadful. The breading on the fish was soggy, with no flavor and covered poor tasting fish. Stated as a highlight of the menu, it more than missed the mark. Looking around at the other tables, the servings I saw of other items were not impressive looking either. Most of them looked similarly bland and with minimal portions. Customer beware....

  • Valerie V.

    Good service is not be expected here. It has a cafeteria style service and you order before you sit down. They also told us to get our drinks next to the cashier but when we sat down noticed that everyone had pitchers of water which were opposite of the cashier and were FREE. We ordered: Clam chowder - FREAKING delicious. It was the perfect mix of chunky and creamy. 2 LB Dinner meal- included lobster, clams, mussels, a hot dog, a sausage, corn on the cob, and potatoes. The mussels were so small and forgetful. Clams had a lot of sand in them. Steamed hot dog was okay, and the sausage was tasty. Enjoyed the corn and the lobster was best and pretty much only good thing on the plate. It was very buttery! King crab legs- were delicious and large. it was pretty sliced in the middle so it wasn't a hassle to eat. The meal was overall okay, I'm glad I came but I've had better.

  • Sofie S.

    My bf and I were visiting from NY and decided to try a place to eat away from all the tourists. We found this little gem. During our visit the place was packed. The method of ordering and paying before picking out your seat really sped up the process. I tried a shrimp and fish baked dish w/corn and my bf had the 2 lobsters. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was pretty relaxed and low key. We came back a second time and enjoyed different dishes with the same great service.

    Went here for a late lunch / early dinner right after checking into our hotel nearby. We'd just arrived after a 4-hour drive from NY and were very hungry, but since we had never been to the area before we figured we'd come here to eat before heading into Newport. It was great! Definitely nothing fancy; it's market-style so you order at the counter, pick a table, and then they bring you what you ordered. Service was very quick, and it was really good. I got the lobster roll and fries which I enjoyed immensely... my boyfriend got the Portuguese chowder and he loved it. Definitely would return if I'm ever nearby again! Especially for that lobster roll...

    This is my second day here in a row. After hearing the locals rave about this place I decided to try it and I am not disappointed. *disclaimer* If you are looking for fine dinning and ambience this is not the place for you. Anthony's Seafood doubles as a fish market and Upon walking in you are agreeing with fresh seafood on a beds of ice. This reminds me of the Asian fish markets in New York. You order and pay and is then seated. The windows (louvers as we call them in the Caribbean take me back to my childhood and was all the Zanex I needed to calm down) The seafood tacos is a must have. My reluctant to try it at first was quickly forgotten by the first bite. I have since repented and been back for more. The snow crab legs are well seasoned and the clam chowder was one of the best I have had. I was disappointed by the lobster because it was not as flavored as the tacos. I enjoyed the corn as they tested like they were freshly picked in the back yard. All in all, I recommend Anthony's Seafood to anyone visiting Rhode Island.

  • Trizia T.

    We're in Rhode Island on vacation. I knew this was going to be on our list after watching diner, drive ins and dives. We got the stuffies, lobster roll, oysters, and steamers. The kids got Mac n cheese which looked like Kraft. They were thrilled as was I with the very generous portion. But onto our meals... Stuffies were delicious! My husband thought it was a little heavy on the breading, but I preferred it that way. I almost wished I ordered 2-3 for a meal instead of 1. My lobster roll was great!! Not heavy on the mayo and very fresh. Stranded and oysters were great. We would definitely return!

    Consider myself fed, happy, and all-up extremely satisfied with my visit here. I was craving a lobster roll and oysters and Anthony's delivered. This place is exactly what I would expect for a fresh, road-side, casual dining experience. Come in, order from the counter, pop a cold drink, wait for your fresh seafood to be delivered and instantly devoured. I would however stay away from the salmon sandwich - who puts cheese on salmon. Why? That makes no sense. Remember to leave some tip in the tipping jar on your way out with cash.

    Anthony's Seafood provided this tired traveller with some of the best Seafood I have ever tasted. The little ball on the Russian roulette of travel food has fallen in favor of the traveller on this trip. The oysters on the half shell had such a fresh, invigorating taste that it made me feel as though I fell off the pier and into the cool sea...the portuguese fish soup was creamy and went down easy. It had a little bite so watch it! The breaded scallops were buttery and soft. The white wine sauce was on point. I highly recommend that if you ever find yourself in this area to give it a try. They also have a Seafood market and store inside.

  • Maria P.

    I love this place. I have only been here a few times, but I have been completely satisfied all those times. The first time I ate here was a little over a year ago, and I fell in love with this place. They have the freshest seafood you could ever have anywhere. Their lobster is the best. It is always well cooked. I also like their fisherman's platter; it is perfectly fried and a good portion. Their cole slaw is good also. They have the freshest lobster roll; the only thing I will change is the hot dog bun to another type of roll. One complaint I have is that my partner and I got the white clam chowder, and it had bacon in it. We do not eat pork, and we didn't notice that their clam chowder had bacon in it. It will be nice to have a white clam chowder without bacon; if they do one of the waitress told us they didn't. I hope this changes, because I would love to eat a bowl of their clam chowder. Besides this little issue for me this place is the BEST for seafood.

    Good food at Anthony's restaurant. Fried food exactly as you expect. Good but nothing spectacular. Kids working there lack charm or personality, but it's not a place you look to have much ambiance. I have to rave about the seafood shop, however. Incredibly fresh fish and clams and oysters. Got tuna tails for $4.95/lb. The husband is raving over it right now.

  • Michaelea T.

    This place has decent prices, a laid back atmosphere, and pretty nice sized portions. You order at a counter and your food is delivered to you. Service on a Saturday at lunch is slow, we had to ask twice for our lobster rolls, but they came out eventually. Try the stuffee, it's basically bread-based stuffing mixed with minced seafood and baked on a clam shell. It's pretty cute. The crab cakes are the best thing I ate here. The NH clam chowder was ok, a little too salty for my taste. The lobster roll was generous and came with fries. The shrimp cocktail looked sad in presentation, but tasted ok.

    you want an authentic and delicious seafood experience where you get your money's worth plus a whole lot more? Come to Anthony's. It just outside of Newport in Middletown, but it's well worth the short drive. Newport is full of great restaurants, especially seafood. However, this place outperforms them all in every way. To start, it's a takeout or eat in kind of place. I had an order of crab legs and a salmon sandwich. Both were as fresh as you could get and absolutely delicious. Best salmon dish I've ever had. The crab legs were lights out as well. Both portion sizes were big and the prices were pretty inexpensive. They even provide you a bib for the crab legs..haha. It's a very casual kind of place that looks more like a school cafeteria than a sit down restaurant. The line also moves fairly quickly as once you order, you can sit down and wait for the food to be brought to you. If you're visiting Newport, I highly recommended taking a drive to Anthony's. It's highly rated for a reason and well worth it. The locals probably wish us visitors didn't know about this place!

    Decent seafood. I wouldn't say it is the best or the place to go every time you Middletown/Newport. The wait to get in is usually long. You wait and then order at a register, grab your bottled drink and the foot is brought to your table. Interesting concept, but price of food is comparable to other places. I'm not sure I would go back, but I enjoyed the food I had... But again, it wasn't the best seafood ever.

    I had a hankering for some seafood and found the reviews here to be promising. I was not disappointed. I had the stuffie, raw oysters and fried oysters. Very generous portions and delicious. Will be returning when that hankering comes back.

    I'M A SEAFOOD LOVER!!! Checked this place out because people always talked about it. I wasn't too impressed. The restaurant appearance is old and cafeteria style. You order before you sit down... The food is regular at best. I have had better stuffed shrimp from Red Lobster. My boyfriend had the fried platter it was okay. In a nut shell it is not all people make it out to be. Very mediocre and not worth the price.

    Love the no frills kinda vibe of this place, but the food could step up a notch. Got the Portuguese seafood chowder to start which right of the bat was disappointing since it came lukewarm. The soup bass itself was good with depth of flavor, but the seafood in it was meh. I'd rather just eat the soup with oyster crackers. Next was the fish and chips. The fish was nicely fried, not too salty, but the fries were just not up to par. The lobster roll was lightly dressed which I appreciated but the lobster meat was kind of hard like the meat had seized up. Maybe just had an off visit since I came during the winter, well technically spring but it was snowing that day so...

    Excellent fried flounder & well done fries the way they need to be cooked all the time. Other restaurants could learn a thing or 2 here. Mild stuffie was awesome & so was the Portuguese fish chowder! My only regret was that there was no room in the cooler to take home stuffies & more chowder. Always a stop b4 heading out back home.

    So glad to have found this gem of a restaurant! We have been here twice and both times the fried seafood was fresh, hot and crispy. We also loved the New England clam chowder. You won't find cheaper, better seafood in the area. Service is always fast as well. Be sure to try the house made coleslaw and tarter sauce!

    Soooooooo goooooooood..... Fresh seafood, ton of choices, friendly staff and warm welcoming environment. We ate there for the first time last week and absolutely enjoyed ourselves, the food tasted so fresh and the portions were huge. Food came out quickly and the the variety of drinks was awesome. We'd definitely eat here again

    Chilling in Newport? The best seafood is in Middletown, fifteen minutes away. Casual dining, free parking, eat in or take away outstanding meals. Highly recommend Portuguese chowder, lobster roll, fish tacos -- but everything is delicious. The locals come here to eat!

    I love this restaurant. We always got this as take out when we lived on Aquidneck island, my mom would grab dinner to go. It has and is still GREAT! They have awesome stuffie's and chowda! Really you probably can't go wrong with any meal from here! You can get meals to go and make them at home with the veggies and potatoes and seasoning even fresh herbs already for cooking. Fresh seafood counter to buy and cook at home. They have various products for sale for sauces and spices as well!!! Can't go wrong with ordering to go or siting in the dining area. It's casual, walk up order pay get a number grab a table and it gets brought out to you. Easy peasy!!

  • Adam L.

    Super casual... You go to the counter and order, get your sides and then sit down for them to bring you your entrée. I wish they gave you a chance to provide the "suggested 10% gratuity" on a credit card. They have no tip line on the form which made me feel bad for all the tips the staff must miss out on. My NE chowder was very good, my Grilled Salmon sandwich was decent and the portions huge. Overall I plan to try it again.

  • Ling L.

    I like the self service where you could get your own water and seat yourself. However, the food is alright. I had the bake scallop, clam cake and clam chowder. The bake scallop tasted very fresh but the sides and clam were big disappointment. Garlic smash potato taste very plain like regular smash potato. Clam was the worst. Clam cake was so chewy like rubber and so over season that you can't taste any clam but salty gum. Would not come back next time I visit Middletown

    Was craving seafood and when we saw this place had been on Diner's, Drive-in's and Dives we knew we had to go here. It's a no frills no fuss kind of place. You order at the counter then they bring it to your seat. We started off with the Portuguese clam chowder, which was a little spicy, a lot of flavor, and very delicious. Then the fish and chips with flounder. It was light, delicate, and amazing. The fries were hot, and yummy. I had the cold lobster roll. The lobster was fantastic, very little sauce so as to not overwhelm the lobster. Again, total winner.

  • Kathryn D.

    Very casual. Order at a cash register and pick your own table. Meal was plentiful, lobster and steamers were good, but muscles were subpar. Rhode Island clam chowder was exceptional. We came for lobster rolls, but unfortunately they did not have any. Lobster rolls were $23, which is about how much they were in downtown Newport on the water. Offered a lot of fried seafood. Classic clam shack offerings. Seating indoor or covered outdoor. Cafeteria style seating The fresh seafood market to take home and cook looked incredible. .

  • Nancy C.

    I had the fisherman's platter. Fish, shrimp, clams, scallops and fries. It was a huge portion at a reasonable price. Plan on 30 bucks with drink for this meal. Love the menu, ordering style and casual ambience. Something was missing, especially from the scallops. There was no sweetness as with most small scallops. There were too many scallops, as well. More whole belly clams, please! I expected a bit more from the #1 rated restaurant in Middletown.

  • Michael R.

    This place gets packed in the summer and is worth the wait when busy. I definately reccomend this place as well in the off season since its probably the only time you can walk in and get a table. The food is great...I don't leave this place without getting the Portuguese fish chowder (it will change your life) there is so much on the menu that's great. If your a follower of guy fieri, he did a DDD here and had the Kung pow calimari and stuffed quahaug. (Both excellent)..it's hard to go wrong eating here.

    Stayed near this restaurant so had to stop and try it. Went during lunch and had a good experience. Tried the lobster roll - fresh and delicious. Tried the clam cake - dry and doughy. I was expecting more meat on the clam cake but didn't really taste any. Maybe people who are familiar with clam cakes will disagree with me, but I was expecting something akin to the crab cake. The clam cake wasn't for me. Otherwise, great experience and atmosphere.

    Our family loves it here, the seafood was so fresh and tasty we came here everyday when we visited Newport. The oysters, the shrimp cocktail, and the chowder was insane. The service was so fast. Order the food at the counter and a few minutes later food came right to the table, barley any wait it was amazing. We have two babies that only let us sit at a restaurant for 30 minutes, so this place was perfect. Quick and easy, tons of parking and the price was so cheap absolute must try.

    I had just gotten into Middletown and A. had never been to New England and B. Never had a lobster roll. My friend suggested we go to this seafood restaurant that close to his house. I walked in, wasn't busy and thought, hey what a cute local restaurant. It must not have that many yelp reviews yet. HA. HA. HA. When I saw that blasted Guy Fieri and his crazy hair spray paint... my heart sank. NOOOOO. Its always a numbers, prices, and quality game. Popularity up, prices up, quality down. Luckily... I was wrong. I had the Lobster roll at the every mysterious "market price" and was shocked to see what appeared to be a whole lobster's amount of meat on my perfectly buttered and crisped roll with PERFECTLY crispy french fries. I am forever ruined. I will never be able to have another lobster roll without being a total snob. Woe is I. (wow, first world troubles seriously). My BFF for lyfe ordered the fried clams and it was good...but not my lobster roll good. His dad had the baked seafood Nantucket which had cod, sea scallops, old bay seasoned shrimp, and was layered in lobster sauce and topped with bacon. He seemed to enjoy it but mentioned that the center was a touch cold. I feel this is something they pre make and heat in the oven as needed... The last plate ordered at our table was the grilled salmwich with fries. No complaints whatsoever. So Im glad I got to visit the place off season as there was zero wait and everyone around us seemed to be local. It made for a great experience. It was a beautiful welcome to New England. Then again, getting deep fried food made the transition from the South to the North a touch easier. :)

    Local favorite, Anthony's has excellent fresh seafood at very reasonable prices. Seating is cafeteria style in two sunny rooms. A lot of locals order dinners to go to avoid the crowds. They also sell fresh fish and shellfish from the counter in front.

  • Brian E.

    I'd actually been to Anthony's a few times over the years since I was stationed here for a while. I remember this place as decent. Lots of fried seafood and reasonably tasty. Had I reviewed this previously before my visit today, I probably would have given it three stars. That being said, I decided to do the unthinkable today...look for non fried options on the menu. Called them up for some takeout. Figured I'd had the NE Clam Chowder here before and it was decent. So got that and it was pretty good. Ingredients tasted fresh. I also tried their crab cakes (they're baked) and they were wonderful! Tasted very fresh, obviously not premade or frozen. A ton of crab meat in these babies...a few drops of lemon on each made this appetizer a big win! For my main dish, I intended on getting the lobster roll, and I was disappointed when the young lady on the phone told me they were out, but had this not been the case, I never would have thought to try what I got. I was blank and didn't know what to order so I asked her what she recommended and got the Grilled Salmwich. Best. Choice. Ever!!! The seasoning: minimal and PERFECT! Just added a little flavor that played off the flavor of the grilled fish PERFECTLY! Cooked to PERFECTION! Add that special mayo and the cheese and it was quite simply the best sandwich I've ever had. No need to explore the menu any further. Those crab cakes and the sandwich are now the only thing I'll order. I'm going home in less than a week, but I'm definitely stopping by again before I leave!

  • Jennifer And Craig D.

    Stopped in for lunch yesterday...even in the off season at 2PM place was still busy. Cannot imagine the lines during peak season. This said, the staff was great, they work well together to take care of the customer. Food was also good, with the exception of NO LOBSTER ROLLS my wife was devastated! She had fish tacos instead, and said they were excellent! I am a landlubber, so I had a burger....but as my landlubber counterparts will know getting a good burger at a predominately seafood joint is like finding a unicorn! Gotta say it was at least a horse with small horns LOL. Burger was great and fries cooked to perfection. Definitely a place to stop when in the area.

  • L W.

    All I can say is their stuffie is the greatest! I am not a seafood fan per se but honestly try a stuffie and you are hooked. My wife loves the clam chowder and she is a snob when it comes to chowda.

  • Shane M.

    Awesome lobster roll!!! Nothing fancy just amazing seafood. I wanted my last meal in Newport to be a memorable one and Anthony's did not disappoint. We started out with the calamari which was fantastic. The fish tacos were really good the sauce is really good. The lobster roll was the best I've had huge chunks of lobster and full of flavor. Right around the corner from Newport vineyards I highly recommend this place!!!

    YUMMMYYY. I loveee chowda and clam cakes whenever I visit RI. I was in Newport and had to yelp a location that sold clam cakes. Saw the great reviews and ratings for anthonys so we decided to give it a try and omg thank goodness for YELP! 2 orders of Clam cakes, 3 bowls of new England clam chowder, 3 stuffies and kung pao calamari was our order. I think the bill came out to 40 something bucks. Which is not bad! The kung pao calamari was chosen by default.. because we saw the "Best Calamari" vote by that one dude that travels around the U.S and eats a buncha food. Yummmm it was so good.. definitely different! Since that visit, I've been telling everyone to go to Anthonys and whats funny is all the RI residents I know arent aware of Anthonys! I will definitely be coming back next time! :)

    Great local spot for seafood - don't bother with the tourist trap restaurants in Newport, this place is the real deal! Restaurant and a market in one. The New England chowder was amazing!

    We saw mixed reviews on Yelp about Anthony's Seafood Restaurant, but decided to give it a shot anyway. You have to understand the culture. There are two lines. One (left) is for people who wish to sit in the restaurant, and the other is for take out/pick-up orders. You need to be prepared to w.a.i.t. It's VERY popular! We had planned to dine in but when we saw the line, we changed our minds and decided to place an order for take-out. In reality, it probably saved us about 20 minutes. I would highly recommend calling in your order (the menu is online) because it will save you a lot of time. Anthony's is also a seafood market, and while we were on line waiting, we read the very expansive menu. I glanced over at the fish in the glass case and noticed that it was very, very fresh. I ordered the highly-acclaimed Portuguese Fish Chowder and it was indeed a winner. Perfectly spiced (not too hot), shrimp, fish, chorizo and potatoes in a heavenly creamy soup. I also dined on some of the freshest swordfish I have ever enjoyed. It came with a choice of butter garlic or pesto sauce; I asked for both. Yum. My companion ordered the Stuffies (stuffed quahogs), one mild and one hot. I thought they were more breading than they needed to be. His Stuffed Shrimp dinner was very tasty. Not terribly impressed with the Garlic Mashed Potatoes; they had an odd taste. The Side Salad is pretty basic: iceberg lettuce with grated carrots on top. My companion never received the Cole Slaw that came with his meal. This is a good choice and the prices are not out of sight. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could.

  • Kelsey K.

    Get the Portuguese chowder or the RI chowder and the stuffies. Had the salmon burger-mediocre, but I think this was more of an ordering mistake on my part-after sitting there for awhile, became clear that the regulars were there for the chowder and fried goodies and lobster. Not really a sit-down dinner. Order at the counter, then sit down. There are a few alcoholic bottled beverages to choose from, but root beer is my go-to beverage of choice for this fare!

  • Janice P.

    Great food for a great price. First time, I ordered a lobster roll with clam chowder, stuffed quahog, and calamari (I ate with a group of friends :p) - the lobster roll, calamari, and quahog was good. Chowder was eh, not something I would order next time because.....the LOBSTER is AMAZING. I just ordered that the second time I went because if the lobster roll was good, then the lobster itself must be delicious. And it was...the best lobster I've ever eaten within the tri-state area. It was perfectly boiled and cut so you can easily eat it! The market price for it ranges from $19 and $22 from the two times I went. The wait time was around twenty minutes for dinner and the food came out at a reasonable time. The people working there (I wouldn't say waiters since they only deliver and clean up the food. Also you order first and you sit at any available tables) My only complaints: The water is not what I am used to in NYC; it may be Rhode Island water though, not too sure. It tastes like seawater, just not salty. The restaurant itself is not so bad although its a little lacking in decor for such great food. However, I would not take a star away just because of these reasons. ;)

    I stayed in Middletown and wanted to find a place that wasn't your usual chain place so we decided to give this place a try. The place is not for everyone. Yes you wait in line to pay for your food, then you wait some more to be seated then wait some more to get your food. It's how the place runs and we didn't mind it at all. Of course we came around 2 or so and the place was not too packed. We ordered the fried calamari and the stuffie ( I think that's what they are called) and the NE clam chowder. The clam chowder was a tad bland but overall good no flour taste. The fried clams were amazing! And the stuffie to die for! I wanted more! It was by far the best part of our meals. The hostess was so kind and welcoming. Will revisit if we come back to Middletown.

  • Renata A.

    Very disappointing. Basic food. Tasteless food. And I had to go to ask if my food was ready after 25 minutes. Why do you want your clients to order before sitting if you are going to take that long to serve?

  • Jo A.

    This place is a godsend. There's a reason why this place has so many positive reviews and don't let the idiotic 1 and 2 star reviews deter you. They were probably left by the type of people who like their steak well done and who complain about waiting in line. Well, what do you expect when you're as popular as Anthony's? I ordered both fried and fresh items. Let me tell you, Anthony's absolutely SHINES with the fresh seafood. There is nothing more perfect than coming with friends and getting ice cold Blue Moons and trays and trays of raw little neck clams. If you want to know what a sea jewel tastes like, order the clams. The oysters were so fresh too, and they literally went down like water. The lobster was so perfectly cooked and super juicy. We also ordered the Kung Pao calamari which was the perfect way to end our meal. Nah, we ended our meal with another round of raw clams. The staff is so friendly and they made fun of us for ordering 4 dozen clams between 2 girls but it was all in good fun. I went twice in the 2 days I stayed in RI and if I could I would have gone there 2 more times, but we had to give other places a try =P By the way, get there before 5pm to avoid the mad rush of people and long waits.

    Portuguese chowder is delicious. Creamy and broth chowders are good. Stuffies have too much stuff and not enough clams and the hot ones are better than the mild. Lobster roll was very good but pricey at $22. Clams and chorizo with linguine was delicious. All service comes with a smile. On the whole just average to good.

    SO GOOD. I had my first ever lobster roll here, and now I think i've set the bar too high. Its located off the beaten path of newport, but definitely worth the travel time. Also, this place is BUSY, we were lucky enough to get a table and not have to wait at all. (You order up front---THEN, get a seat) Definitely a must try, so try!

  • Joanna K.

    After reading many reviews we had to order the Portuguese fish chowder; it was a little too much spice for my taste, my boyfriend enjoyed it though. We loved the Rhode Island chowder, it was so flavorful- a good spin on New England clam chowder. I added the clam cakes on the side and we dipped them in the chowder, it was to die for!! I only wish we ordered more. We also ordered Crab cakes and Mussels with butter which were delicious. I didn't think the Fried Calamari was anything special, it had a nice crisp to it but I've definitely had better. They also had a lot of locally brewed beers, we tried the Newport Storm Seasonal Ale and really enjoyed it. Service was great, it was busy but it was definitely worth the wait.

Spicy, creamy chock full of seafood I want to eat it all day long! Order & pay at the counter. The fish tacos were amazing! Big portion of fish you may have to use your fork with these. The staff are so friendly and quick. Anthony's is always busy! Check out the fresh seafood counter! This place is impressive.

    Great local joint for sea food! Wide variety of options between fish, chowda, clam cakes, shrimp, ect. The staff was friendly and the place was cozy! Definitely worth making the trip!

    Ok. So before you fellow Yelpers go off on me about dining somewhere that was featured on DDD, give me a chance to explain myself. It's not Michelin, it's not hipster, but it is what you would expect from a seafood shack. Dated decor, and an old school feel near the water is what this place is all about. Also you know it's gonna be good when they have a seafood market in house. I will say that the restaurant is run efficiently and one thing I loved about the place is the ordering system. Before you enter and go on lkne, it clearly states that you must order your food first before claiming a table. Even though it's busy, it never felt crowded and people micromanaging your lunch experience waiting for your table to open up. Another thing that's great are the prices! With the exception of the fisherman and lobster products, everything is under 10 bux! Portions are huge as well. Lobster items were at market price. On to the food. Started off with the clam chowder. Nice creamy, briney, and full of seafood goodness. I think next visit is love to try the fish chowder. Next we had the stuffies, this was a stuffed quahog with chorizo stuffing. Quahog for you non new England peeps are clams. Nice and flavorful with a nice kick from the stuffing. This was my wife's fav thing. We then had the calamari. They serve it in a non traditional way but was truly delicious and different with a kung Pao sauce with fried hot peppers and peanuts! This was my favorite item of our visit! The sweet spicy and crunch of the calamari was awesome! Finally, we ended with the lobster roll. For a 24 dollar market price, it better deliver and boy it did! Large chunks of lobster piled on a perfectly toasted bun, meat dressed perfect. The texture and the hot and cold combo made this visit even more memorable. If you are in the Newport area and want a good meal for a good price. This is the spot for you!

    Good seafood, but I wasn't blown away. If you're looking for a nice relaxing meal, this is not the place. I arrived around 6pm on a Saturday. There was a line out the door. We waited about 30 min. Once you get to the front of the line you place your order with the cashier, and then take a seat. Your food is later brought to your table by high school students in gym shorts. The food is great, and portions are large. I had NE clam chowder. It was very filling. Thick with a lot of clams. My boyfriend got the Portuguese fish chowder. Also, very delicious. Our food came out quickly. I got the stuffed shrimp. I found the stuffing to be a little dry, but the sides and shrimp itself were great. If you're only in town for a few nights, you can pay the same amount to get a comparable meal at a nice restaurant in Newport.

    Such good seafood. The lobster roll was perfect. The clam strips were perfect. So were the crab cakes. My favorites were probably the clam chowders. They were delicious. Even the French fries were perfect. The dipping sauces for the strips and crab cakes were really good too. The place is consistently crowded and no wait the two times we went in.

    Arguably the best (no-frills) seafood in Newport - hands down! Honestly, this place is the bomb.com/forrealzthough !! Have been here a few times now with friends and always impressed. The stuffies are awesome and a must-have! Fish and chips are also a good choice. I was craving crab tonight and was throughly impressed with the way they were cooked.

    There's a place called "J's Crab Shack" back home in the greater Hartford area, which until now, I thought was the bees' knees. Or should I say the crabs' knees? Whatever... don't judge me and my old lady expressions. To use an actually relevant expression - Anthony's torpedoes our usual place out of the water. I can't exactly pinpoint the reason that the fried seafood here is so much better. Does the proximity of Anthony's to the source result in a fresher product? Are they just better cooks? Perhaps a combination of both. Wherever the magic may come from, Anthony's is just better seafood for better prices than everyone else. Our order: A large chowder, a 6-ounce clam strips with fries, a 6-ounce scallops with fries, and two sodas. All that came to $29, a great deal for a two person seafood meal. And the plates were really pleasantly large. I could not imagine ordering the available 12-ounce portions... unless you bring a friend. The fresh seafood shop is impeccably kept as well. Taking it all together, the difference between Newport seafood and Hartford seafood is palpable, and measurable.

    Fantastic local spot. You enter thru a fish market and order at a counter. Very laid back and super nice people working there. I had the best lobster roll of my life there! And clam chowder that was to die for! The lobster roll was on a traditional roll that kinda looks like a cross between a folded over slice of bread and a hot dog bun. The lady who worked there said it had 1.5 pounds of lobster on it - so imagine a small roll with lobster falling over the sides. It had the right amount of mayo - just enough so it wasn't dry but you could still taste the lobster. So glad this place was recommended to me - it was fantastic and I'll go back every time I'm in town! Oh, and market price for lobster was $22.

    At first I assumed it was going to be a tourist trap due to the publicity, I was very wrong. One of the best stuffed quahog's I have ever had and the clams/clam cakes/clam chowder was great!

    Short hair girl with with nose piercing who was front of house looked like she hated her life and didn't want to be there, along with all the other workers. Food was mediocre. They were out of everything that I wanted to eat. I grabbed the lobster roll, for 22 fricken dollars and it tasted like crap! I can't see why people highly recommend this place. Shitty food, shitty service, and highly priced. Do not go here!

    On the way home from Providence to Holyoke, MA, we decided to try Anthony's Seafood Restaurant and it was very good! It's a good size restaurant and very typical interior of the diner type style. You order at the counter, then your food is brought to your table (by number...kind of like Carl's Jr.). I had the regular breading clam strips (Strips of sea clams, no bellies it says on the menu) with fries and it was a good size portion (I got the 6oz portion for $7.95) and asked for a few more french fries instead of coleslaw. The clam strips were tender and fried a nice golden brown. I enjoyed my lunch! The restaurant was nearly full the Sunday (lunchtime) we went. I would definitely recommend Anthony's for anyone who wants some seafood! Please see my pictures! Xie Xie!!

    When venturing to a new place, I am always in search of whatever "the thing" to eat is. I asked a local Rhode Islander (Rhode Islandee? Rhode Islandian?" and they responded "stuffies." Not wanting to lose my foodie cred, I smiled, said "of course!" and then hurriedly googled "stuffies." I'd like to thank Anthony's Seafood for my introduction to stuffies (AKA quahogs, thank you Google) - a delicious, baked stuff clam full of bread crumbs, seasoning and possibly a hidden vegetable or two. And I'd hardly be satisfied to only try one thing on the menu, so the Kung Pao Calamari and some chowder it was! All were great. If I could offer one critique, it would be that the calamari was a little less breaded. But hey, I'm on vacation, right? BONUS! I'm not sure if it's there all the time, but there was a little local produce stand outside the restaurant/store with a wonderfully, pleasant gal working there. Their apples were delicious!

    Best raw bar items. Creamy Portuguese soup is a most have. Great friendly staff. When in New Port Anthony's is a must

    Delicious! We ordered the Fisherman's Platter and the Kung Pao Calamari and both were awesome, although way too much food for two people. I HIGHLY recommend the Kung Pao Calamari.... like can't say enough about it. Definitely a unique item among a standard deep fried seafood. Not to say the platter wasn't also delicious! They also have a pretty killer selection of local brews (bottles only). I would go here over the other options on the island for sure. The only thing holding back from a 5-star is the location. A waterview would make it perfect.

    Outstanding! I ordered the tuna dinner. They brought 2 tuna steaks! More than I could eat. They were very accommodating with a group of my fellow shipmates. I would definitely come back again.

    Great seafood, order at the counter, find a seat, and they deliver your order to the table. One of the best lobster rolls in town. Great Portuguese stew.

  • Pito S.

    Ok, so the fish is great and the servings are big. But everything else is soso. The best I can say is it's all better than it looks. The order taker was humourless, the glasses are all plastic, there are no waiters just food delivery and pickup people.

  • Jennifer I.

    Wow! Absolutely awesome--everything was great! I had a spicy stuffy as my app (amazing, even though it had a toothpick remnant in it--watch out! lol..don't worry though, it wasn't in someone's mouth. they put them in before they cook them and are supposed to take them out), and for my entree had the baked stuffed shrimp with a salad and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was so delicious! And the manager was so nice, he brought over some awesome sorbet at the end of our meal for free (he apologized for the toothpick a ton and I seriously would not let that deter you at all from coming here). The line is long, yes...but it is SO worth it! If I lived in RI I'm pretty sure I'd go there weekly!

    My wife and I need a little getaway so we headed to New Port for a view days and found this place! What a gem, we had the two lobster special and some soup. Awesome, make wanna move to New Port!

    Must try their Portuguese fish Chowder - slightly spicy, very creamy, and with plenty of chunky seafood inside, this soup is delicious. Very fresh seafood at an extremely reasonable price. Great for groups of friends or families.

  • Alex C.

    I was in town visiting and my friend mentioned this restaurant was part of the Newport experience; he was right! We got take out since the restaurant was packed and even by the time we got the food home it was still crispy and delicious! A must go!

  • Laura T.

    Outstanding! The food is very fresh and we all enjoyed everything we ordered both times we were in the area. I'll eat there every time I'm anywhere near Middleton. It's a very casual atmosphere, but don't let that fool you. The food is as good as you'll get at a white tablecloth place. One important tip, however. One time we went at 6:30 on a Friday and the line to order was extremely long. We left and came back about 10 minutes before they closed and got in and ordered right away. Go late if you can, but check when they close first because it is relatively early.

  • Gabrielle S.

    I'm a local her in Rhode Island and this is by far my favorite place to get clam cakes and chowder! Plus the atmosphere is super casual so it's nice to come here right after a long day at the beach.

    We had good expectations for Anthony's. Having just moved to Newport, we've heard Anthony's mentioned several times as a good "local" place for seafood. So, we went there last night. When we first arrived, the line was out the front door, but it moved surprisingly quickly and the greeter who was handing out menus had a smile on her face. It took us about 20-25 minutes to get to the ordering counter. After deliberating over the extensive menu, the four adults in my party ordered meals including 2 lobster dinners. My young daughter ordered mac-n-cheese. Luckily, we found a table inside because it was very packed and many people were eating outside at picnic tables. We settled into our table and ate our clam chowder, which was decent, but nothing to write home about. I have two young kids including a baby and they kept themselves entertained while we continued to wait for our food.... we were talking and not really noticing the time when it suddenly struck me that we had been waiting a long time. I looked at the time stamp on my receipt and it showed that we had ordered 40 minutes prior and our food still wasn't out. We asked the manager (maybe he's the owner?) where our food was. He checked with the kitchen and came back a minute later to tell us that his cook staff had accidentally cooked a pregnant lobster and so they had to recook another one for us. So I asked, "Does that mean our other food has been sitting under heat lights this whole time?" He said, "No, we recooked everything." When our food came out it was clear that they had not recooked anything. My daughter's mac-n-cheese was hot in some spots and cold in other spots (and it tasted awful by the way). One of the lobsters had been sitting under heat lamps and was totally overcooked and rubbery. The second lobster was..... get ready for it.... pregnant. Yes, there were hundreds of eggs all over the underside of the lobster. This baffled us as we were informed that the pregnant lobster was the entire reason our order had to be recooked in the first place! So, we sent the second lobster back and another lobster was out in about 2 minutes that the manager had "stole from another order" as he put it. That last lobster was the only thing on our table that was fresh. The dinner was ruined. Our children, who had been patient for 40 minutes while we waited had reached their limit and were fussy as we ate our heat lamp baked food. Additionally, one person in our party used the restroom before dinner and informed the front desk that the bathroom was out of paper towels. We used the restroom after dinner and they still had not restocked the paper towels and there was only enough toilet paper left on the roll for maybe 2-3 more patrons. One person in our party actually is a restaurant manager and was quite surprised that the manger of Anthony's did not offer to do something for us considering how long we waited for our meal and the screw up in the kitchen (or the cover up in the kitchen??) as we have a sneaking suspicion that the cooks served the pregnant lobster knowing exactly what they were doing as that lobster should have been discarded immediately after recognizing the error (as the manager told us it was). Needless to say, we were not only unimpressed but downright disgusted by the service and food at Anthony's and will not be going back.

    this place is great. Stopped by for dinner while in the area for a couple days. It's pretty casual, but the food is great. Try the Portugese Seafood Chowder!

  • Eric B.

    Great food! The NE clam chowder was amazing. When I showed up, the line was forty feet out the door. That usually one of two things...slow service or awesome food. The line was that long clearly due to the awesome food. The clam strips tasted really fresh and portions were pretty big. My got the swordfish steak plate... he was blown away. I was definitely come back before I leave the area.

  • grace l.

    Portuguese fish chowder = amazing. Get it! Stuffie (stuff quahog/clam) = Kind of dry. Wasn't crazy about it. I had the lobster special (two lobsters with combined weight of 3lbs and corn on a cob) for $28 = Great deal. Fresh and delicious. No waiter service but staff deliver food, supply utensils, and clean as you go. Casual environment. TIP: If you're just ordering for take-out, there's a different line inside.

    Absolutely the best place to be for lobsters and king crab legs. Price is so reasonable. And fresh oysters are 95 cents each!!!! Can't beat that.

    Very close to our hotel. I wanted seafood and talked my BF into sharing a seafood platter with me. Plenty of food for 2 people on that platter. Food was very tasty. I'd go again.

    Recently dined there. Tried stuffies, which were very good. Wasn't crazy about the clam cakes, clam chowder was good but not great. Onion rings were excellent.

  • Teresa H.

    LOVE this place. Portuguese chowder!!!! We ordered the app of Portuguese chowder (after reading another review about how good it was) with clam cakes. It was so spot on. I had lobster roll..it was perfect. Hubby had shrimp cocktail, you can't really mess that up, it was good too. I can say we have been back several times and I always have to get the Portuguese chowder!

    It isn't often that the hype turns out to be accurate, but this restaurant is worth every great review that it's gotten. Start with the New England Clam Chowder; Creamy, rich, and chock full of clams. Then on to the Kung Pao Calamari; spicy, sweet, tender squid, fried to a crisp without being the least bit greasy or over breaded. Fresh oysters, from a variety of places; sweet, briny, and so wonderfully full of flavor. I was stuffed and in seafood heaven. But there was more! Fried fresh belly clams, something I just can't get "back home." The 6oz portion ($13) was more than generous, and again, although breaded and fried, the clams retained their individual flavors and were not overwhelmed by the breading nor the frying process. Served with a choice of a side, and decent coleslaw. My table mates had the scallops and all I heard were ooohs and aaahs. They also had the corn on the cob which they insist is the best anywhere. They come here often, but as an occasional visitor to this wonderful state, this was my first visit, thought I know it won't be my last.

    Got in and out pretty quick. Food was awesome and reasonable prices! Indoor and outdoor seating. Make sure to get the stuffed quohog and the kung pow calamari.

  • Mike S.

    The atmosphere is a run down shed, eating on paper plates w/ thin plastic utensils.. Seafood is not as fresh I had expected it to be based on reviews. Their menu mainly consists of deep fried seafood. I had the shore dinner and was disappointed. Lobster was unremarkable. Steamers / mussels where grimey / sandy. Clams fishy.

    (3)

  • Dave Q.

    Excellent service. My back was killing me and I asked the manager for a bag of ice and he happily got it for me. This allowed me to sit and enjoy the good food. Lobster. Clam chowder. Alaskan crab legs. Totally awesome. Fun place and packed with people. Good job on getting a table quickly. Service was good

    (4)

  • Josh H.

    Eh. Overhyped. Wife ordered a two pound lobster and loved the lobster claws. Tail was way overcooked I ordered Portuguese chowder which was awesome Ordered the seafood Nantucket with green beans and garlic mashed. Cooks put waaaaaayyyy too much dill in the Nantucket and ruined it. Could not be eaten. For the price there are a dozen much better seafood places in the area. We won't return. Can't win em all. Good chowdah though.

  • Tiffany L.

    Delicious, fresh, no frills seafood. Came here for lunch. When you first walk in, all you see is fish, upon fish, upon more fish. The fresh filets and shrimp and scallops and oysters (etc.) are displayed in all their glory, and available to purchase. You then walk to the counter, where you order, and then seat yourself. I of course had the Lobster Roll, and it was delicious. It was full of fresh lobster, and that's all you tasted. Not like most lobster rolls where the lobster is masked by overly-generous additions of Mayo. The french fries are incredible, especially with malt vinegar. Thank you for supplying that. My favorite part may have been the Rhode Island Style Chowder, though. It was absolutely delicious, full of potatoes, clams and fresh herbs. Mmmm. Can't get anything like this food in Jersey. sigh.

    (4)

  • Rich L.

    Lot's of reviews here, so I'll stay on-point. Food is good (read below though), personnel are pleasant, prices reasonable. That being said, the food is spotty. Littleneck clams were fresh and delicious. Portuguese fish chowder was quite good. Stuffies are OK and I think overrated (mostly filler). Tuna sandwich was amazingly good (get it rare!). Fish tacos are fried fish (Huh?!) so I would stay away from that (we were not asked how we wanted the fish prepared). Fried clams and calamari were great! Somewhat surprisingly they don't have a good cocktail sauce or tartar sauce -- which is very odd since they're a seafood place and those are easy to make and have very few ingredients (they're hard to mess up!). Finally, avoid the clam cakes, as they were scarce on the clams, to say the least. Overall, a good place, but spotty.

  • D G.

    With all of the excellent reviews eating here was a big disappointment. Anthony's fried seafood is coated in a very heavy breading and served with lots of oil. So much oil I had to use many napkins to absorb the extra oil. The onion rings are not made by Anthony's but are purchased from an outside supplier, as confirmed by the Manager, and tasted like greasy cardboard. Well, at least the service was good and the Manager was honest about the onion rings not being made from scratch.

  • Marc H.

    Very disappointing after reviewing other yelpers' reviews. The scrod was pretty blah (the recommendation of our cashier) and the crab cakes didn't taste other than I the oil they were fried in. Chowder was pretty good but overall we gave it one star.

  • connie c.

    Great find in RI This seafood restaurant is self service casual dining with great outdoor seating. We have a dog so we sat outside in the covered and heated patio. ( that's a huge luxury) Lobster and steamers were fresh and very reasonable in price. Best taste and value all around!

  • Good E.

    awesome, AWESOME, awesome sea food establishment! i found this great place on yelp and fellow yelpers did not lie. it's really good food! we got the following calimari-excellent clam cakes-a little doughey but very tasty 2 lb lobsters-beautiful, so much meat! mussels, clams, sausage , corn on the cob, potatoes were all awesome snow crab legs- beautiful,loaded with sweet meat fried fish (clam strips, flounder, fries) platter was very tasty but we took most of it with us because we were getting full :O the portions are generous, you order in line, BEFORE you sit down b'c they prepare the food to order. restaurant is clean, spacious. plenty of parking. we met the owner who was very friendly and homely. definitely , EAT HERE! it is worth every penny :D

  • Gemma C.

    I'd have to say that this place was my favorite spot for lobster rolls. The size is pretty generous and enough to share with an addition of an appetizer. The clam cakes are delicious as well as the kung pao calamari. Definitely skip the lobster rolls along Thames Street and make your way over to Anthony's for lobster rolls!

    (5)

  • Michael L.

    I echo all the other comments on the Portuguese Fish Chowder - definitely order it. I had the lobster roll too. It was good, and full of meat (as it should be for something like $24) but not appreciably better than some of the other places (and food trucks) that I've been to.

  • Lindsay M.

    This place is awesome! At first, you can't see it from the road, but then you turn in and it's a nice, quaint spot with a good amount of parking. Walking in, you think restaurant and all that jazz. Not in this place! They have an average size "fish deli" filled with stuffed shrimp, lobsters and such right as you walk in. Tons of things to buy for the family and cooking. So once you walk in, you grab a menu and place your order. They bring the food to you (took about 12 minutes for two dishes). Overall, this place was very nice for a day in Rhode Island! :) And Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited the place! Two thumbs up!!

    (5)

  • Ashley S.

    Looked this up on diners, drive-ins and dives and gave it a shot while in Newport. It was everything we thought it would be and more. We got the Kung pao calamari, the "stuffie," clam strips w/ fries and the New England clam chowder. It was all delicious. The calamari was cooked to perfection. All great food, proportions & prices. Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely be back!

  • Alison M.

    We showed up at 7pm on a Saturday evening, so there was a line out the door to the parking lot. We considered leaving and going somewhere else, but I'm so glad we didn't - the food was the best we had on our New England road trip. I sort of randomly stumbled across this place on Yelp that afternoon, and I'm so glad I did. The line wasn't terrible (maybe a half hour?) and once we ordered (me: clam chowder and a lobster roll; him: grilled tuna platter), our food was out in maybe 10 minutes. My lobster roll was amazing: huge, delicious, and generously piled with lobster meat. He says his 2 tuna steaks were the best he's had in a really long time. We left stuffed and happy. I'm sad I don't live closer. Despite this, I WILL be back to Anthony's.

    The Portuguese chowda was amazing and I never had anything like that before. Love their crab cakes and stuffed quahogs. Food was incredible and service was amazing despite it being very crowded. I highly recommend this place, their seafood is second to none. I will be back again for sure!

    (5)

  • Kevin S.

    We chose this place for lunch based on its excellent reviews here and we're not disappointed. The lobster roll was delicious - light dressing and a toasted bun, perfection. We also had a few spicy stuffies, which were big, moist, and we're just the right amount of hot. Would definitely come here again!

    (5)

  • Crissy H.

    When in the area - go to any restaurant that is mentioned on Food TV - at least that is my BF motto. So when we got here we had to try everything that was highly recommended by the show/YELP. We had the Kung Pao Calamari - which was amazing. It wasn't overly fried and it has just the right amount of spicy with a overlay of sweetness. We then had the Lobster Roll which was also very good. I loved that they were not cheap on the lobster like some other sandwiches I have had in the past. Nice big chucks and not too much mayo. We also really loved the salty fried that came with the dish. They were so finger licking good, that we kept on eating even though we were both about to burst from all the food that we ate!

    Seafood Nantucket is really good but the same cannot be said for the Rhode Island clam chowder. Great place to dine with some friends. Recommended!

    (4)

  • Fred M.

    For exactly what it is, it couldn't be much better. Very tasty RI chowder, although heavy on the potatoes and light on the clams. Delicious stuff quahogs with great stuffing. Very light delicious fried clam bellies without the usual greasy aftertaste. Crisp fresh terrific fries. Outstanding bat scallops, sweet but not one dimensional. Great selection, great service, attention to detail and high quality. Anthony's is just a great spot for old fashioned simple seafood.

    (5)

  • Joshua E.

    Lobster ROLL all the way! This place had the best lobster roll I've had in the New England area. It was GANGSTER! On top of that I also have had the lobster, which was cooked and prepared to perfection. I would definitely come back for more. Price is very reasonable for the quality you get.

    (4)

  • N Y.

    The food was great! Had the stuffed clam, Portuguese chowder, and fried fish. The clam was very filling and cutely presented, the chowder was amazing, and the fish was good but maybe a little more fish to the fish to fry ratio. Great place.

    (4)

  • Terri V.

    Very disappointed. All locals seem to love this place. It is located in a run down barn - looking place. We were not allowed to be seated until we ordered. Food was not any better than Long John Silvers but way more expensive. Will not go back.

    (2)

  • Chuck L.

    As you walk in, the fish market greets you. Turn to the right for food - eat in or to go. Place your order, receive a number and select a table. My wife ordered the Seafood Nantucket and I the Codfish Fish and Chips (until reading the menu, I never knew that Cod is thicker than Flounder). For drinks, soda along with selected bottled beer and wine are available. Pre-chilled pitchers of water are also available. Our food came out timely for what we ordered; no indication of having been prepared ahead of time. Portions were just enough to satisfy a hungry couple looking for some decent seafood. Outdoor seating (picnic tables) is seasonal. Not an intimate setting, but a nice place for family of all ages. There are other items we want to come back and try.

    (4)

  • David D.

    The concierge at our hotel recommended this place. By "concierge" I mean the teenage girl who works the night shift. And by "hotel" I mean Travelodge. We liked the fact that they have a refrigerated showcase exhibiting all the fresh seafood that will be turned into your order. They have a nice selection of local beer as well. It seems like it's a good place for locals to drag their annoying families to for a reasonably priced meal in a relaxed environment. Their fish tacos were bland and disappointing. Ever taste a fish taco being made by a Messican in Baja, the Yucatan, or even San Diego? Well it's just like that except the opposite. Your cod or flounder is stuck in a cold flour (not corn) tortilla, with some Pace Picante slapped on top. Voilà -- Rhode Island fish tacos. No fresh cilantro, no lime wedges, no pico de gallo, no ranchero or verde sauces, and no fresh crema. Now as a Good Samaritan so kindly pointed out, you wouldn't go to a Chinese restaurant and order Fettuccine Alfredo, so why would you go to New England and order fish tacos? Point taken. My only retort would be that Good Samaritan has never had a stubborn ladyfriend. The cod fish & chips were also forgettable. Wow, this review comes across quite cunty. Lemme end on a positive note... The standout was the Portuguese fish chowder. Mildly spicy, delicious and definitely worth ordering.

  • Enday G.

    The place is ok, needs to improve though. Food: We had salmon, tuna dinner, and fish and chips. The first two were dry, the last was very good! Service: The guy at the cashier was a kid who could barely answer our questions about the seafood. Throughout the meal, no one came to ask us how are we doing. Prices: Somewhat on the higher side, but portions were large.

    (3)

  • Tim J.

    The Portuguese clamp chowder was great. Prices were very reasonable. I'd definitely return.

    (4)

  • Jack K.

    It's a small seafood market with restaurant service! Nice place to go for a casual and laid back lunch. The lobster roll was fresh with good portion of lobster meat. The classic fried calamari was kind of plain and flat in flavors, but when combined with fried jalapeno, it was delicious! Fish & chips was fresh and crispy, but shrimp cocktail was a bit tiny. Overall, had a good meal!

    (4)

  • Lily Z.

    After reading so many reviews, I had to try this place. It was TOTALLY worth it! The lobster roll at $18.50 was totally worth it! (I pay this much in NYC for 1/3 of the size!). The fries were also quite tasty. The Portuguese fish chowder was spoonful upon spoonful of creamy chowder heaven. Just the right amount of spice and packed with seafood! My dinner was so good I returned the next night for another tasty dinner. I had the 2lb steamers and the Rhode Island chowder. Again a success! The RI chowder was broth based, no cream but the perfect compliment to my meaty steamers dipped in lemon butter. Any of the items I ordered are highly recommended...only tip: if you're ordering takeout, call ahead or else you're waiting a good 15-20 minutes for your food.

    (5)

  • Jo C.

    We saw this restaurant at Yelp with such high rating, so decided to give it a try. The place was busy, but didn't wait long to order food. We ordered the NE clam chowder, Portuguese fish chowder, Kung Pow style friend calamari, fried scallops and seafood platter. Overall, everything was very good especially the fried scallops!! I would order separate fried orders next time instead of ordering the platter. There were a lot shrimps and small scallops there but not so much clams.

    (4)

  • Peter G.

    I'm a Boston native and spent a lot of vacations in Cape Cod and Rhode Island. This is one of the best seafood places you will dine in Southern New England. Try the "stuffies" and the Portuguese Clam Chowder. Actually, try anything! I've never gotten a bad piece of fish or seafood from this place. It is simply outstanding! Whether you get take-out, visit the seafood market, or dine-in: it's the real deal.

    (5)

  • Delroy H.

    I saw this place on the food network and I had to try it. I drove almost 2hrs yet I'm real happy I did. The food is fresh and delicious and the staff is very welcoming. I'm glad I came. I'm sure I will be back before the summer ends.----

    (4)

  • Diane Z.

    Maybe I tried the wrong things, but nothing stood out. The kung pao calamari was nothing special. The Portuguese fish chowder was not seasoned enough, and the fish in the chowder didn't taste that fresh. Definitely skip the clam cakes, they're just balls of salty flour. The raw oysters were shucked well, and were pretty fresh, but not amazing. The littlenecks were really fishy and not enjoyable.

  • Jazzy S.

    Excellent! First time ever on Friday & I had to go back again on Saturday but this time with my parents! Yummyyyy Flo's is good too but Anthony takes food to a different level! Chowda OMG - lobster roll - Wow!

  • Tulsa H.

    Food here is awesome. I was attracted assuming it were associated with Anthony's Seafood of San Diego, CA. Nevertheless, it was still good. Was here for both lunch and dinner. It's not located in the New Port, RI's tourist sites, but it was well-worth the 10 mins or so drive. Highly recommended.

  • J C.

    I had to eat here repeatedly while in Newport. I became addicted to the Kung Pao Calamari. Everything we tried was really good. Now this is not a fancy place at all it is a casual easy place to get tasty seafood in a homey, family like atmosphere. I wish they were here on Coronado Island where I live, they would be one of my faves!!!

    I had the RI Clam Chowder, clam cakes, stuffs and my wife had clam cakes and crab cakes. Simply wow. The chowder was flavorful with a nice herby broth. The stuffy was simply incredible.

  • Jeremy H.

    Incredibly overrated. I should have known when I found out that Guy Fieri had stopped by, but I went anyway. The famous Stuffie is not worth the calories. The spicy mush baked into a clam shell has no clam pieces and no clam flavor. It is chorizo baked into Stovestop Stuffing. My girlfriend's grilled tuna steak salad was pedestrian. The tuna steak was cooked just fine, but it was nothing special. (If you like a piece of fish atop salad greens, this is for you.) My lobster roll wasn't worth the 4 hr drive. I am a huuuuuge lobster fan. I've eaten lobster up and down the eastern seaboard, mostly in Maine and Cape Cod, and this lobster had no flavor. The piece of lettuce lining the buttered roll was blehhh. Don't blow $18 on it. I'll say this -- the fresh fish in the retail fish shop was beautiful. I wish I had a grill for the gorgeous Koho salmon. If you have the ability to cook, this is a great place to pick up provisions.

    Good variety of seafood and options. The prices are decent and they have liquor too. It's kind of family picnic style seating so its not your candlelight dinner place but a good venue for some fresh seafood. They have the fried seafood options, which I'm not a fan of, but they also have grilled swordfish salad and that is a great dish. It's a definite place to check out if you're trying to find a good Narrangesett Bay tea seafood restaurant. It'll be busy too, but they have a very functional ordering style where you order and pay as you enter the dining room area. Try the New England chowder, but I would avoid the other style chowders.

    My first lobster roll - and the best lobster roll - was eaten here! Good local seafood - very fresh and large portions. You pay market price. Atmosphere is low key and very casual. Good menu selection and good seafood

    I've been searching for some authentic local cuisine and I think I've found my new favorite. A car load of us drove down on a Friday night for some grub and brilliantly landed in the door at about 7:45 pm. 15 minutes before they close. Having been a waiter at one point in my starving arteest career I realized I had become the person who once made my life a living hell. First off the gentleman behind the raw bar was extremely nice and gave one of my travel companions a crash course on stuffies. We ordered our food at the counter and planted ourselves at a booth. The food came in about 10 to 15 minutes and was hot and amazing. I got a hot stuffie as an appetizer and am now completely in love with this little creation. I really could have eaten 4 of them as a meal and been quite content. I ordered the Lobstah roll which was extremely fresh and had a ton of lobster on it and the mayo ratio was was perfect for me. The side of slaw was also great and was a nice fresh palate cleanser. For a drink I had a Lobster Ale which was great as well. My companions got a cajun salmon dinner, fish and chips, NE clam chowda, and crab cakes. The crab cakes were bar none the best I've ever had. I can't wait to return for more stuffies and new treats. Well worth the drive from Providence. We will return. Kudo's to the staff who was quite nice in leu of our late arrival.

    Crazy delicious meal Portuguese Fish Chowder, shrimp cocktail, Steamers, Baked Scrod, just one meal but it was perfect. Order at the counter and they bring it, not all at once, apps first, then mains. A treasure. Back for round two, two days later Lobster, more seafood chowder, grilled shrimp Still everything perfect.

    This place is heaven on earth! We found it by happy accident on our recent visit to the East Coast, after a miserable and failed daytrip to Newport. We didn't know that there would be a big boat show and that parking would be impossible to find. Well, screw those over-priced Newport joints! The raw clams and oysters were amazing, and so inexpensive! Around San Francisco, we're used to paying close to $2 apiece (if not more) at most quality restaurants. The little gems at Anthony's rival the best of them. A dozen little neck clams can be had for only $8! Our group slurped up 4 dozen clams, and a dozen of raw oysters to boot. They were plump, fresh, sweet, and very clean and completely free of any gritty stuff. We couldn't get enough. The day's special: two lobsters for $22 with corn on the cob - we couldn't believe our eyes. We also ordered the Portuguese fish chowder, the lobster roll, fried clams...everything was delicious. We were absolutely giddy from the meal, and still continue to talk about it. If only I didn't live 3,000 miles away. ::weeping::

    Not a bad place. I have had their chowder and fritters a few times and it's decent. You won't be disappointed.

    This was my first time eating here and I was fairly satisfied! It is apparently very popular since parking was horrendous! They do offer plenty of parking, but the place fills up fast and no wonder because what they have to offer is worth parking 3 parking lots down! It is the kind of place where you walk in, stand in line, order what you want from a counter and then find a seat and wait for it to be brought to you. Usually I am not a fan of these types of places because frankly, I like to be served, but this was not bad at all. I was here with a rather large group, but the line still moved pretty fast. We sat outside so we could have more room and that was really nice. They have nice picnic tables set up that are clean and spacious! The Kung-Pai Calamari was the best calamari I have had since moving to Newport. It was sweet, but had just enough spice to satisfy my spice-craved palate. I then had the whole belly fried clams and they were pretty good, but I have had better. The prices are all at market prices and fair enough I suppose. I always enjoy places that top their fantastic-ness off with great prices, but maybe this place will do that eventually. If you enjoy a good seafood meal, or plan on making some sort of seafood dish at home (they do sell salmon fillets and all sorts of other fish and shell fish to take home and cook yourself) then you should check this place out. It's definitely not a let down.

    My husband spent 10 weeks in training at Naval Station Newport and EVERY time I came to visit, we went to Anthony's. The last weekend I was up there, we went two nights in a row. I am a seafood fanatic, someone who despite limiting animal protein intake on a regular basis, would eat from the sea at every meal if I had a source as fresh as Anthony's. No frills, very cozy. Friendly high school wait staff. The guys behind the seafood counter are quite knowledgeable! This place is the equivalent of the local, independently owned Red Lobster. Do eat: Oysters (unreal) Stuffies (best ever) Whole lobsters (the smaller ones were more tender) The Rhode Island Clam Chowder (broth not cream based) The fish sandwich+add cheese Fried shrimp Homestyle potatoes Skip: Corn (mushy) Fish taco (bland) We plan to vacation in Rhode Island next summer. Goodness knows we'll be eating from Anthony's often. So amazing!

    This place isn't very glamorous, but it does have the best seafood around. Everything is delicious!!!!! As a former Rhode Islander, I have eaten at my share of restaurants in Rhode Island, and if your looking for the best seafood and wholesale value, definitely check this place out!

  • Matt H.

    Anthony's is a great place for a real seafood meal. It has a walkin counter where you place your order. You then sit down and wait for the meal to be delivered. I was there around 2pm and it was not busy but there were a good amount of people considering the time. The lobster roll was very good and the fries were cooked to a crisp. The facility was very clean. Anthony's provides hope to a world that is filled with snotty, overpriced, and touristy seafood restaurants in the Newport area.

    The Portuguese-style fish chowder is really fantastic. I had the grilled swordfish with pesto for my entree; definitely solid, not mind-blowing. Would definitely eat here again.

  • ImaYesfa N.

    Absolute Lobster heaven! And i learned why. The guy behind the seafood counter told me why the lobster tastes so good and sweet and fresh there even though you can get lobster in any restaurant. Here is why. Lobsters stay in tanks until they are ready to cook. Live lobster you say? Well yes but he has been in that tank a month maybe. They starve and live off their own fat and lose flavor because of that. Here at Anthonys they get them in fresh every few days , and fresh means they were walking around the ocean floor earlier in the week eating what lobsters eat. And they are cooked to perfection. Also the whole belly clams were out of this world. The best deal is the 1 3/4 lbs lobster platter, comes with steamers, mussels and potatos and chourizo. This is why you go to Anthonys. The portaguese chowder was also quite good but skip most everything else. Also there is no waiter service, and they close at 9 pm, but the lobster is some of the best anywhere!!!!!

  • Jake F.

    I saw this place on DDD. After two visits, I remain satisfied but not terribly impressed. The food is fresh and good but not fantastic. The clam chowder was average, tuna steaks weren't cooked very well, and the Kung Pao Calamari, though original, wasn't anything special. The highlight for me was the fried scallops. Every once in awhile, I am a sucker for fried seafood and this restaurant does a decent job. If you are looking for fresh seafood at an unbelievable price, this is the place to go! If you are looking for flavors expertly blended and unique, look elsewhere.

  • Annie R.

    Amazing in a word. They have the best lobster roll in the Newport area for sure. This is not a sit down place, its a "to go" place, or sit at a picnic table outside. You do not come for ambiance, you come for fairly priced great food, its just that simple. The crab cakes are delicious as well. Worth the trip, get out of tourist land and treat yourself to something fantastic.

  • Wilson M.

    Terrific place for seafood. Apparently, a lot of locals go there. Prices were reasonable. We stuck to the most popular menu items mentioned in the reviews here: lobster roll, Portugese fish chowder, mussels w/ red sauce and crab cakes. All the dishes were delicious. When you get there, you place your order and pay at the cashier before being seated. The wait staff then brings you the food. My only complaint is the decor. It looks dated and is in desparate need of a renovation.

    Me: "hey guys that place is packing um in, let's check it out" Them" "i got a spot further up the road" me: "ok" turned out the spot up the road (Flo's) had the worst parking lot known to sight/tourists. As I waited, a lady in a minivan yells out "check out anthonys, I like it much better" So i turn around and low and behold anthonys turns out to be the same spot i sighted. Anthonys is a great seafood casual spot. Its no frills, as you order at the counter and then it's brought out to your table. We waited for a minute before a nice picnic bench outside cleared. It was a beautiful day and it got even better once my ginormous fried clams were served. I opted for the whole belly clams and there was nothing to regret. french fries were crispy and the tartAHHH sauce money. The gf had the fish and chips and they were awesome. My friend ordered clam cakes and these things were freaks of nature. They were fried balls of batter heaven with clams tucked in the middle. I think what i liked most about this place was it was off the newport beaten path and that adds instant points when im vacationing.

    Reasonably priced lobster. Great Portuguese fish stew. Almost like cafeteria style, walk in order sit down and they bring it to you. The lobster (whole, and roll) was very nicely done. The dressing on the roll had a soft flavor as to not overpower the lobster. It is located far enough from the water to cut down on the mobs of tourists. The portions are big enough and the taste is great. I think I found my new favorite place to eat when I am in town.

    So we read great things about this place! They were almost all wrong- this place has horrible fried seafood, the fish tacos were bland at that. The chowder was good we got excited when we had the fish chowder. Thinking wow this is going to be great! It went down hill fast. Service was very nice people were friendly but the food sucked! Big time just pass this place buy and go any place else. I had the fried seafood platter and my wife and I compared it to Taste o sea frozen tv dinners. We blew 54.00 dollars for two kids and two adults,the stuffed clams were stuffed with wonder bread it was gross. Sorry not my style to complain but save your hard earned dough!

    THE place for seafood - it's a fish market and restaurant and take-out place combined. They have EVERYTHING! Super fresh, super good. Sometimes so crowded in summer they shut down the take out! Read the whole giant menu before you decide. "Clam cakes" means clam fritters. Enjoy!

    Oh, how I wish I were still hungry so that I could order more!! I'm only here in Newport for one night on business and I was so disappointed to find out that Flo's was closed, as I heard alot of rave reviews and was excited to be in the area to try it. My super friendly cabbie insisted that I try Anthony's and I now think that he's my foodie guardian angel. I tried RI clam chowder for the first time and I'm glad I opted for it instead of the cream based one. I also got a mild stuffie bc I had no clue what it was, but kept reading the good reviews on it. It was a pleasant first, though I haven't tried anything like it to compare it to. I could really appreciate the fact that it had a ton of complimenting elements. I also got the small portion of the whole belly clams. Wowza. First of all, if I got the "small", I don't want to see what their "large" portion size is. The clams were very plump and fresh--fried perfectly, without excess breading. As I am actually still sitting in my booth while I write this, I wish that I had room for this lobster roll that all you yelpers are raving about. I'm also considering ordering some raw delights as well. Who knows? Maybe I'll risk the explosion of my stomach for the sake of excellent seafood! ;-)

    If there was a title I'd like to have, it'd be "Lobster Roll Connoisseur." * The lobster MUST NOT be overly-mayo'd. The mayo has to lightly coat the claw meat. Think barely there. Really, the mayo's only use should be to help stick the lobster pieces together and to add a touch of wet to the roll. There should be chopped celery in the mayo. * The lobster meat must be FRESH, SWEET, and CRISP! Lobster meat to bun ration should be 3:1. There should be at least 5 claws, mixed in with some succulent tail meat. * The roll should be lightly toasted, warm, and buttery. Texas toast works well. * The lettuce should be green-leaf and crunchy not cut up. * A wedge of lemon should be squeezed over the meat. Anthony's roll was all of the above and more. Their kung-pao calamari was unique and very good! Their clam strips were not overly-breaded, the clams were sweet, chewy, and tasted fresh. Their clam chowder was creamy, well-seasoned, but needed more clams. Newport blueberry beer tasted like pie. Tried the Rhode Island specialty: stuffed quahog (a clam shell stuffed with clams, chorizo, peppers, onions, and spices). It was the only meh thing. Way too much breading. It tasted like day-old bread. Barely there seafood. All in all, a fantastic, non-touristy seafood market! Chow here before doing the lovely Cliff Walk and don't forget to visit the GORGEOUS, monumental Breakers mansion.

    Unbelievable prices for fresh boiled lobster! My wife and I each had a 1 3/4 lb boiled lobster plus sides for $22.95 each. Absolutely tender, sweet and delicious. We also sampled the new england clam chowder. That's a real winner too. The surroundings are not ritzy, but focus on the seafood. Anthony's is great and probably the best deal you'll get in the Newport area!

    Truly awesome seafood dinner. My boyfriend and I had listed on our itinerary Anthony's and Flo's Clam Shack as dinner options after a late afternoon at First Beach. Since Flo's is right next to the beach, we decided to check that out first. After circling around Flo's for about 10 min., and seeing that the cars parked in the full tiny lot weren't going to leave anytime soon, we gave up and drove down to Anthony's. Wow, were we glad we did. From the outside, Anthony's doesn't look like anything special. It doesn't have a nice seaside view like Flo's did. But who really cares? You go to a restaurant to eat, right? And the parking lot here is huge compared to Flo's. We knew we made the right choice when we were greeted by a line at the door. The restaurant is sit-down, but you place your order and pay before claiming a table. After a few minutes reviewing the extensive menu, I decided on the fish (cod) and chips, and my boyfriend ordered the fish taco. We also got a cup of New England Clam Chowder to share and a bottle of the Lobster Ale. While we were waiting in line, we salivated at the items available for sale in the adjacent fish market, also run by Anthony's; their stuffies and crab cakes looked absolutely amazing. The chowder was delicious - great consistency, lots of clam meat, and huge chunks of potato; we regretted not getting the bowl. The cod in my fish and chips was so flaky, and the fried batter had a great crunch to it. The fish taco was nothing like any other fish taco I've seen before. First, it had huge chunks of flounder in it...definitely not the crap you get at places like Baja Fresh. It came in a burrito-sized tortilla, so it was massive, and it was filled with this black bean salsa that truly made the dish, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and even a hard taco shell for texture. Both of our entrees were also complemented with this awesome cole slaw. And when I say it's awesome, you know it's pretty damn good b/c cole slaw is one of the few foods I refuse to eat! I know based on the reviews here, lobster is the way to go at Anthony's. We were trying to budget, though, and while I was really craving a lobster roll, I didn't want to fork over $17.50 for one (though I'm sure it was worth every penny). But I'm very happy to say that the non-lobster items we tried were amazing, filling, and totally worth it for only $8.95 each. Definitely returning here the next time I'm in Newport!

    When I'm on-island, Anthony's is the only place I go for fresh seafood. The fish market has an excellent selection from both local and distant waters. On my recent visit, I saw wild Pacific salmon, farmed Atlantic salmon, cod, haddock, flounder, sole, striped bass, bluefish, swordfish, and mako shark, to name a few. For shellfish, they typically have shrimp in a variety of sizes, scallops, soft-shell and hard-shell clams, oysters, and lobsters. Their seafood is exceptionally fresh and reasonably priced. If you don't see what you are looking for in the display case, ask the guys behind the counter, because they just might have it in the back room. Do you need bones to make a fish stock or stew? Planning a dinner party for a Navy? Not a problem...just call ahead in the morning, and the staff will set aside your items for you. In addition, Anthony's has a number of semi-prepared options, such as shrimp cocktail, cocktail crab claws, baked stuff shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, hot and mild stuffies, clams casino, oysters casino, fish cakes, crab cakes, salmon cakes, and stuffed sole. Did I miss anything? Don't leave without purchasing a pint of clam or fish chowder. My favorite is the Portuguese fish chowder, which contains flaky white fish, shrimp, chorico, and potatoes in a rich creamy broth. I usually purchase a couple of stuffies as well, though I agree with a previous Yelper who stated that the heavy breading somewhat overpowers the sparsity of clams. They are a delicious snack just the same! If you are interested in prepared food, either eat-in or take-out, then look no further. Though the dining room is no-frills, and you won't have an ocean view, Anthony's has some of the best grilled, broiled, or fried seafood, hands-down. They also have chicken sandwiches and hamburgers, in the event that you don't eat seafood. If you are looking for quality fresh seafood that won't break the bank, then go to Anthony's!

    My boyfriend and I recently took a trip to Newport and wanted authentic food that was not in a tourist trap. We found Anthony's on Yelp and took an adventure away from the main part of Newport and man was it worth it! It's a super casual place, order at the counter and take a seat in a booth, but it's clean and comfortable. We had the fish and chips and chowder and they were amazing. Super fresh and delicious. The batter on the fish was fluffy and crispy. As we were leaving we stopped by the fish counter where you can buy fresh fish or chowders to take home and sampled the Portuguese Chowder. OUT OF THIS WORLD. They also ship pretty much everything they offer at the counter as well as soups.

    I go here with my family at least once a month or at least get take out! Their fish market is excellent as well. They ahve the best fried clams with bellies around and at a reasonable price. I also enjoy their fired oysters with their horseradish sauce. I find that they are way better than Flo's down the street!

  • Valerie S.

    I remember Anthony's from when I was a kid and it was "the best". Anthony's and Flo's seem to be neck and neck for best seafood. Anthony's has more and easier parking, Flo's has outdoor seating (the outdoor tables at Anthony's are covered). Flo's is across from the beach, Anthony's is kind of in this commercial area. Anthony's takes credit cards and has a section that is just fish, clam cakes, stuffies, etc. to be taken away. I don't know if it is always, but there was a farm stand set up next to Anthony's parking lot which was nice, we got some fresh veggies to take home too. Both restaurants had long lines. With Anthony's it was a quick direction to get to the register to order takeaway - we were behind this group of 24 people who didn't know what they were doing and then cut in front of us - I think the servers saw that and motioned for us to the takeaway register WHICH IS AROUND THE CORNER - you have to go into the dining area for it, which is why most people don't see it. Anthony's feels to me less clam shack and more family restaurant. At any rate, we ordered fried shrimp and fried clams as a snack, so we got the small - something to tide us over because it was close to dinner. Never mind about dinner! The portions were enormous. And that was the small! We had wanted to try the lobstah roll but weren't hungry after so we couldn't order it! The fried clams and shrimp are different from Flo's, I think they are both fresh, but the breading is different and maybe it was the suggestion from the fresh fish area, but it felt fresher here. (Again though, the one at Flo's WAS fresh, I'm not saying it wasn't, not at all!) I have no doubt that next year, we'll definitely hit both places many times, but my first stop is going to be Anthony's. 49 weeks until the lobstah roll!

    My husband and I went here for dinner one night while we were vacationing in RI. It was DELICIOUS! My husband had the Fisherman's Platter with cajun breading and I had the Fried Calamari dinner. Both were very tasty (especially the cajun breading) and nice & crispy! The best part for me was that they served malted vinegar with the fries! The atmosphere was great too as my husband and I sat outside on the benches enjoying the sunset. I look forward to eating here on our next visit to RI.

  • Cassie D.

    My husband and I wanted to try Anthony's after reading all the glowing Yelp reviews. And I have to say, we had the best, freshest, tastiest fisherman's platter of our entire lives. I grew up in New England, eating a ton of seafood, and fisherman's platters galore, and this is by far the very best I've ever had. The New England style clam chowder is delicious. We will definitely be back, it's worth the trip to Middletown from where we're staying in Ma.

    We ate at Anthony's after touring the "Breakers" mansion. We were starving and the Yelp reviews let us know this is where we should have lunch. Wow, the food here was so good and great prices. The coleslaw was creamy and crisp, crab cakes were very well seasoned with little filler, the fried cod and flounder were succulent and sweet. And the cold beer sealed the deal. When I think back and try to remove a star to ding them on something so it won't seem like I'm just gushing...I can't think of a thing. I was really impressed that they had a sign on the restroom door that stated "...wash your hands after smoking..." This place was quaint, clean, great prices and fabulous food.

    Service is stand in line to order...the restaurant also serves as a fresh sea food market, so not too shocked to stand in line. Also allows you to check out their seafood stock. The food was excellent, very well worth any wait! The Portuguese Chowder (plus an extra $2.00 for 4 crab cakes) and Kung Pao Calimari are an excellent combination and the meal with a drink was under 12.00 bucks, very much worth every penny!

    Very good. The food was excellent. Our group had scallops, swordfish, seafood medley, fish and chips, and clam chowder. Everyone was very happy with their dishes. Atmosphere is very casual. The only reason I didn't give five stars was standing in line to order and searching for a table once you got your food.

    So on my way back from Newport yesterday, I took a ride by Flo's Clam Shack. Went around back, and continued driving lol. Always too busy in there, and personally, their food isn't worth the 40 min wait one bit. Well, it was a blessing in disguise. As soon as continued on home, I reminded myself that I always pass by Anthony's and I recall them having a "dine in/take out" sign out front. Confirmed... pulled up, parking lot was full of cars (as it usually is) and came in to get my fix of fried clams before I went home. Walked in, and to my surprise it is a seafood market as well as a sit down restaurant. Very cute inside, love the simple layout... man, if this place was located in downtown newport, Flo's would seriously have some competition... Anthony's definitely does it right. Had some oysters and fried clams, hit the spot on point. Also... next time I come, I will definitely be taking some fresh seafood home. 14-16ct raw shrimp cocktail for $14.99/lb. That is the best price i have seen anywhere.. usually it is $19.99/lb for that size, or, if you are at Whole Foods, $129.99/lb They have U-10's for $19.99/lb. With that being said, the rest of their fresh seafood is very reasonable, and lobsters are averaged at $8-$9 a lb, which is right on point with most other places as well. If you don't like the line at Flo's, make the 3 minute drive towards 138a and you will be happily eating and drinking within minutes.

    There are of course a lot of great seafood places in Rhode Island. But many times you walk in and realize you are the only person from Rhode Island or you can't afford more than a glass of water. Anthony's is neither of those. It is a great place for locals and those with kids. It's kind of like Cameron said on Modern Family, "I'm sort of like Costco. I'm big, I'm not fancy and I dare you to not like me". I have never gone and not had a couple spicy stuffies. They do them so well here. They really don't mess around with these. Also, high on my list of favorites is the stuffed sole with seafood and finished with a lobster sauce. It is one of those things you eat and just don't want it to end. Man it's good. Just under that is the Sea Scallops Romano (Georges Bank sea scallops prepared with garlic herb butter, white wine, seasoned crumbs and romano cheese). Also excellent if you are more in the mood for a sandwich is the grilled tuna sandwich. It is a huge cut of tuna grilled perfectly. The one thing I have tried here which was not great was the Kung Pao Calamari (squid rings with hot peppers, plum chili sauce, peanuts, and scallions). I liked it but it was a little too sweet for me. I'd stick with the regular calamari which is done so well. Overall you really can't go wrong. GO HERE!

    I have been going to Anthony's all summer with my boyfriend. Whether it is the fish market, take out or dine in the food is wonderful. However, I was extremely disappointed at the service yesterday. My boyfriend broke his leg over the 4th and for the second time in 2 weeks he actually felt well enough to venture off the couch. I suggested Anthony's. We arrived at the restaurant and was able to see the handicap seating outside on the porch, unfortunately it was only for 2 people and since my daughter was with us I moved one of the chairs to the adjacent picnic tables and had my boyfriend and my daughter take a seat and went inside to order. A few minutes later a man (I guess his only job is to manage the table flow) came up to my boyfriend, told he him needed to get up because we couldn't choose our table. My boyfriend explained his situation (as it was not obvious to this guy) but it was not enough. The guy told him that he was going to have to get into line with me. Shocked my boyfriend told the guy that I was almost at the cashier and to go and talk to me. This man found me in line and the same conversation took place. At first I thought he was kidding but when I asked him to repeat himself and it was clear he was not kidding. I shared with him that his inability to exercise some common sense in a dining area (that was clearly not full) just lost a loyal customer. So sad because I really liked the food.

    Best seafood ever! Our two toddlers loved every bite! Our son actually stuffed himself that he had a belly ache for an hour later. Wished we lived closer to enjoy this restaurant. The Portuguese fish chowder and albacore was amazing!! Highly recommend!

    When I was a kid, Anthony's was a seafood market on one of the wharves off Thames Street. Now it's a market and restaurant in Middletown. The seafood is very fresh. We had stuffies, clear chowder, Portuguese chowder, calamari, mussels, steamers, lobster, and scallops romano. Outstanding!

    Portuguese chowder was great. Only complaint was not knowing procedure, we sat down waiting for service. Waitress came into room a couple of times and didn't bother to tell us that we had to order at counter first. If we had, we would have been given a number on stand to show that we were that order number. The fact that we had no number, she should have known to instruct us on procedures. Food was definitely worth coming back for. Only a couple of miles from Newport and with a parking lot. Newport doesn't have a lot to offer as far as food except for a couple of places and parking is a nightmare. A quick run to Middletown and you get great food at a cheap price. Don't look for atmosphere and you'd be very happy that you came.

    There's a line out the door for a reason. This place sells seafood at a counter and also has tables, but not in the traditional restaurant sense. You wait on line, order at a register (pay), then they give you a stand with a number and show you a table (assuming any are left) where they bring the food. Had a 2lb lobster with mussels, clams, potato, and chorizo (hot) - awesome. Prices are reasonable.

    While staying @ Homewood Suites in Warwick last month [traveling from Florida] I brought my elderly parents here for a Friday supper meal & we all really enjoyed the atmospere and food. We were looking for seafood and someplace with high ratings, and Anthony's didn't disappoint.

    Best quahogs in Rhode Island they make them in regular or hot. I buy a couple dozen at a time and put them in the freezer, always a big hit when I serve them at cookouts.

    This is an organized, well-run, and clean! restaurant. Ample parking in front, no water view. Service was fast and accurate. The cost, reasonable. The food -- the freshest of fresh. Upon entering, a seafood counter also with prepared items. Order at the counter, a number is given, and food is delivered to your table-booth. Paper, paper napkins with real utensils. Carafe of cold water. Ordered food -- a good selection Calamari -- no tentacles Fried oysters -- plump! Stuffed quahog -- (hot) large and really stuffed Fish (cod) and Chips -- two large pieces with fries and coleslaw A taste of lobster salad-- 100% fresh meat -- Everything delicious. Free parking, delicious seafood, good service, inexpensive, and clean! We'll be back.

    Best place to go if you're looking for fresh seafood, without the snobby price. The first time I went, I had the lobster which was cooked to perfection - juicy! (ahem, it was better than the one at the Black Pearl which was double the price) The second time was all about the swordfish steak - YUM! Need I say more? There is so much more on the menu!

    Great food for the price worth the not so great dinning area. Friendly cashier with great suggestions. Tacky table ads for dessert and tips. Great place to buy uncooked seafood for dinning at home.

    As you walk in, you see the fresh seafood counter where you can purchase just about any type of seafood from the Newport area. You go to your right and order from a special counter if you are getting food from the kitchen. We started with a few stuffies. They were good, but not really up my alley. Everything we got today was extremely fresh. My daughter had the fish & chips which were crisply breaded and delicious. My wife got the Salmonwhich. It was lightly spiced with some pesto and tasted great. I got the fried clam strips and they too were the freshest seafood I've had here so far. Their slaw was also excellent. Add in 2 drinks and we got out of there for $41. Not bad. I would recommend this to a friend and will take family back there when they visit. Update 30 Jan 2011. Went there for take out today...Portuguese Fish Chowder is a must! Not very spicy, but just the right amount. My daughter loves their NE clam chowder. Another must try is the Kung Pao Calamari! Sweet and slightly spicy...my wife's new favorite dish. We couldn't stop eating it. Always great service here...fresh food done right.

    Oh my godddd, I'm in seafood heaven/ food coma. Just came back from Anthony's and had to yelp about what an awesome gem this place is. First of all, Anthony's is really ideal for folks who don't want to wait in outrageously long lines and who don't want to dine exclusively amongst the beachgoing and/or touristy crowd. It's located about 1.5 miles or so from Easton's Beach, and super easy to get to. Just like what other reviewers had said, the atmosphere is very casual and comfortable. Parking is plentiful. You walk in and you're first greeted by a fresh seafood market. Make a right and you'll see the restaurant part of Anthony's. You order your food at the counter and they will bring your food to you. Granted we were there at 3:00 pm for a late lunch/early dinner, the service was fast and friendly. The food -- DELICIOUS! My husband and I ordered the Portuguese Fish Chowder, the Kung Pow Calamari and the Lobster Roll. All three were phenomenal. The fish chowder had thick flakes of fresh scallops and lobster in it. It also had a bit of a spicy kick to it, to our surprise. The Asian-inspired sauce for the kung pow calamari was amazing. It was unlike anything that I've ever had before. Let's just say, I came close to licking the plate; rather I settled for eating the sauce-soaked lettuce garnish. Yes people, it was that good and I was that desperate. Finally, the lobster roll. A highly anticipated Rhode Island staple and we were waiting to try it at Anthony's. My husband said it was his favorite item among the three that we ordered but I just liked the kung pow calamari better. The lobster roll did not disappoint - I mean you're talking about a generous serving of fresh lobster with a mayo+celery based sauce tucked between two toasted buns. It was accompanied by some of the best fries I've ever had, a pickle (gotta love a pickle) and coleslaw. Didn't really care for the 'slaw, it tasted just like... 'slaw. I downed everything with a Narangassett Lager... a really good local beer. Honestly, on a normal day, it'd be a bit too much food for the two of us. But we didn't have lunch, it was also our dinner, and we are on vacation - so we finished everything that we ordered. The price also did not break the bank and we left extremely satisfied. Wish we had three extra days here to go try out everything else on the menu. I don't think you will be disappointed!

    In a word... yummmm. This place has the freshest seafood, whether it be oysters or flounder, and it's hard to beat the prices. I had fried oysters that melted in my mouth like little briny beauties. You can also get them on the half shell, which is also wonderful. If you are looking for a place to get excellent seafood without frills, pretentious attitudes (seriously, if you want full service, white table cloth, don't come, this isn't the place) or touristy crowds, this place is perfect for you. Very homey, very friendly, and if you're looking for more seafood after your meal, they have an excellent fish market complete with uber fresh fish and shellfish, frozen shellfish and even alligator, condiments, pastas, and containers of their soups (my favorite is the Portuguese-style fish chowder. huge chunks of delicious fish and shrimp with chourico in a lovely cream-based soup with a kick) right alongside the restaurant. It's about the food. period.

  • Michael F.

    The positive reviews below are on the money. Lunch today involved delicious and generous portions of clam chowder, lobster roll, and French fries. The place is Spartan but comfortable and clean. Service is friendly and I left a tip in the jar at the counter. I only regret that I am leaving Newport tomorrow because I wanted to try some other menu items. We will be back whenever we are back in Newport or passing by.

    Flo's is more atmospheric but this is the place to go for some exceptional New England seafood. Great lobster rolls. Steamers are great. Fish and chips, excellent. Clam strips - better than Flo's. The fish market offers lots of good stuff, including lobsters. When the stars align and I'm in the area, I don't fool around...have to go here, and waddle out an hour later.

  • Dani G.

    The seafood is some of the best in RI. I love getting an order of steamers as an app and following it up with the fish and chips. This is also a great fish market for take home cooking. Prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is not why we come- the fish is good!

    If you love seafood this the place to be...totally down to earth and unpretentious. It's a little bit of a drive to find but seriously a gem in what seemed like the middle nowhere. Gotta get there and gotta get the seafood!

    Flew into PVD (Providence) airport early Saturday morning, husband had a hankering for lobster and so we started looking around on yelp for a recommendation. Went to Anthony's based on eric n.'s review (accurate - thanks!) They have you order at a counter, pay and take your soup and beverage, and then deliver the rest to your table. Dunno that I'd call that "waiter service". Everyone was cheery and polite. The selection at the fish counter looked good, too. We had the New England Mega Meal with a 1 1/4lb lobster. (This is a "Shore Dinner" - steamers, mussels, chourico, corn, potatoes, onions, broth, and butter, plus the lobster.) Maybe it was the season (late March and still cold) - good but not great. The price was utterly fair, though. (My husband notes here that what they called (Portuguese) chourico seemed to him like kielbasa.) What *was* great was the Portugese Fish Chowder. ("Portugese style with shrimp, scallops, cod, and chourico.") We ordered a cup of that along with a cup of Rhode Island-style clam chowder (which we'd heard about but never had). WOW. That Fish Chowder was some of the best fish soup I've ever had anywhere, even compared to awesome Tom Kha Goong and Tom Yung Goong in excellent Thai restaurants on the West Coast.) The Rhode Island chowder was boring in comparison. Inspired by the soup, we took out an order of clam cakes and a kid-sized fried fish to go. Absolutely stunning, both hot right after we got them, and hours later ice cold in the hotel room for a lazy dinner. I used to dread fish sticks as a kid, because it meant "Mom doesn't love us tonight, it's frozen fish sticks in the oven instead of home cooking." My now 7-month old son is going to grow up eating the sort of fried fish that Anthony's serves and thinking, "My mommy loves me, because she fed me fried fish for dinner!" The breading is light but doesn't fall off, the french fries that come with it are crisp and meaty, and the fish is moist and tender. When it was cold, it was better than a lot of lobster and crab I've had. Had no idea what clam cakes were when we ordered them; they turned out to be fried bready (kind of like wheat-based hush puppies) dumplings with lots of meaty clam pieces and good seasoning. We both felt that the food was tasty enough without the extra, but the tartar sauce and spiced red sauce (it wasn't horseradish-based cocktail sauce, I have no idea still what it was other than yummy) were both really good. Tried out a Newport Storm beer - not necessarily worth driving out of your way for, but a nice hoppy accompaniment to the seafood. The hot tea was decent, lacking the usual American restaurant aftertaste of dirty coffee remains or tepid water. We'll definitely be back some day for more soup and fried fish. We'll probably even give the boiled dinner another try. I rated it "cheap" because there's really good stuff for not a lot of money. We splurged on lobster and *still* only spent a total of $50 (before tips) for two adults. You could make it a spendy place if you wanted, but the cost would all be in the food - and it would be worth it.

    Best lobster roll in town. Living in Newport, I was getting tired of overpriced food that wasnt GREAT. Well I'm glad to have stepped a little outside if town and found this place. The stuffed quahog was SO good, lobster roll was amazing, and so was the seafood platter. The service is great. this place gets packed but service is quick so everyone is in and out pretty quickly. Great prices as well!

    What happened to lobster roll? I am a local and I buy the lobster roll year round for my "seafood" loving husband. I stopped in yesterday for take out, I ordered. The price of the lobster roll dropped to $21.00 from $25.00 so I knew something was amiss. This was around 3pm and my husband would eat the lobster roll in the evening. The French fries reheat in the oven deliciously always. The flavor was spot on but my husband said there were too many claws vs tail meat in the lobster salad. Oh no! This is my consistent lobster roll now changed! Lobster Rolls are expensive, as consumers we know this when ordering. For a $4.00 price decrease, too add to many claws. Bring back the consistently excellent lobster roll at $25.00. We love good food, we know it is summer, we know Anthony's is off the beaten path. We support you year round. Your seafood is excellent beyond compare.

    Hands down my favorite restaurant in my visit to Rhode Island. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything here is very fresh and served in "fast food style" way, where you order your food at the register and then it's brought to whatever table you choose to sit at. I put my stamp of approval on the following menu items: New England Clam Chowder: Perfect Portuguese Calm Chowder: Spicier perfection of the above clam chowder Crab Cakes: 3 cakes, baked with real fresh crab meat. Dipping sauce was exceptional. Lobster Roll: Stuffed with a large amount of Lobster that was super fresh, although a little pricy at $24. Try it though, you will realize it's money well spent. Clam Strips: Very tasty, but I would recommend trying something different to actually taste the quality of the fish they are using. Once again, the dipping sauce was exceptional. If you are anywhere in the area, this is a must-visit and potentially on multiple occasions like myself.

    Liked it so much I bought a T-shirt! Our first trip as we were in the area for some R&R This is a neat combination of a working seafood market and a really casual restaurant. At the entrance is a set of display cases with fresh fish, shellfish and home-made sides. Warning - you cannot get a table until you order, and as this place must get packed during the peak vacation months, you might be looking at a bit of a wait. Well worth it, but be prepared. And they close early - 8pm the night we were there. Off to the right are two dining areas, with nothing but condiments on the table. I knew I was going to be rolling up my sleeves! The menu is fairly simple, with loads of fresh dishes, a couple of surprise items and a few traditional preparations. You order at the counter, and can add beer or wines by-the-glass or bottle from a short, but adequate selection. You get a number, grab some silverware, and in our case wine glasses, and head to your table - in my case, drooling just a bit. We started with some raw clams - as fresh as can be, and small and sweet, just like when I used to go clamming with my Dad. We moved on to Kung Pao calamari, which was spicy but not too hot and a great second course. A bottle of some white wine went perfectly with our first two courses. There is table service once you are seated, and they were prompt and extremely efficient throughout our meal - water was promptly refilled and used dishes whisked away. For our main course we shared the Portuguese Clam Bake - clams, chourizo served over linguini, with enough broth to dunk your bread in (over and over). A bit different than grandma's, but absolutely delicious.Our bill came to $53, including the bottle of wine. The bottom line is that this is fresh seafood, no fluff, and the price is right.

    Anthony's was a true seafood shack! Of course, visiting New England a girl must have full belly fried clams! They were delicious - tender and big. I started out with the Portuguese Fish Chowder which was filled with different fish, scallops, clams, and shrimp. It was scrumptious! My coworker ordered fried shrimp and enjoyed that also, Great place if you want a great chowder and fried seafood!

  • Sha J.

    My entire family loves this restaurant. My grandfather Mr James whom the guys know as Jimmy always goes in with his Anthony's seafood paraphernalia and people ask him all the time if he works there and he always laughs and says no. I make sure to send my guests over there when they stay at the Courtyard when they ask me about seafood that's the first thing out of my mouth. It doesn't get any better fresher or more delicious than Anthony's seafood!

    Anthony's Seafood is a local tradition. It's nothing fancy, but the seafood is good. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you, and the service was friendly and efficient. My husband had their famous lobster roll and I had the fish & chips. The portions were generous, and I loved the fries. On a hot day, we appreciated being able to have a carafe of ice cold water at our table.

    Food continues to be excellent and reasonably priced. Last visit we tried their Portuguese fish chowder which was delicious. Recently purchased my first oyster knife from Anthony's which was inexpensive, but top quality. Ian in the fish market helped me select some oysters and even demonstrated how to shuck one for me! Thanks Anthony's for awesome food and service at both the fish counter and restaurant!

  • Steve H.

    Exactly what I expected it to be. Having spent my summers in RI I am familiar with the clam shacks in town. Great memories of Max's and the mediocre tastes of Flo's had me craving what I loved as a child. Anthony's offered exactly what I was looking for. The New England chowder was tasty with a distinct flavor I was not recognizing. It could have been dill. The clam cakes were exactly as I remembered from other places on the Island. It brought me back to the simplistic times when calories meant nothing to me in my youth. The stuffed clam was just Ok with slightly overcooked clams causing them to be overly chewy. The star was the whole belly fried clams. Exactly as I craved and perfectly fried. The fries were basic variety and the tarter sauce was quite plain as I'm used to making my own with more flavor. When catering to a crowd who craves simple delicious fish options this is the place to fulfill nostalgic tastes while building new memories.

    We stayed in Middletown on a recent visit to Newport. The desk clerk recommended this as a great, casual, reasonably-priced seafood place. We ordered the lobster roll (cold lobster salad on a buttered roll, absolute perfection!), stuffies (stuffed clams), and the Kung Pao calamari. Everything came out pretty quickly & everything was very good. They have beer and wine, and dessert--which we did not get. Lots of orders for baked and fried dinners came out of the kitchen. Seems like the kind of place where everything is good. We came back the next day for lunch & ordered the Portuguese chowder (outstanding), New England chowder (just ok), and the fried fishermans platter (very good and enough food for 3-4 people). They have less expensive and better food than anywhere I've eaten in Newport. Be prepared to wait, unless you go at an off peak time.

    My fiancé brought me a lobster roll from here and it was possibly ZEEEEE BEST LOBSTAH ROLL I'VE EVER HAD, RAWRRR! The lobster meats were chunky and juicy. I love the fact that they don't put too much mayo on the lobster, so you can taste the freshness of the meat. I definitely want to return one day and try their other offerings.

    Anthony's is the local fresh seafood place on Aquidneck Ave. snot hints has been featured in diners drive-ins and Dives. The seafood is as fresh as you can get. They offer prepared food with a homemade touch. There known for there stuffies, chowder and lobster rolls!! I have been going to Anthony's for years for fresh seafood and there famous stuffies. Soooo goood!!! The fresh fish is perfect for a quick easy meal . Prices are about the same everywhere on the island. You know your getting the best. The attached restaurant is great! You order at the counter take a seat and they'll come around and serve you. It's a very casual environment do don't get all dressed up. Comfy clothes to enjoy your amazing meal. Oh yes!! Calamari is a must try! One of my favorites. My daughter will be visiting soon and this will be a first on the list. We will surf the area for seafood meals the 8 days she's here. :)

    Wow. Oh wow... the perfect seafood lunch and a great dive. Order at the counter, take a number, they deliver it to your table. I started with a plain bowl of incredibly fresh mussels with just a side of (barely used) butter. Then I had what was probably the best salmon sandwich I've ever had. Perhaps because I've never had it with a slice of cheese? Substituted corn on the cob for the fries. Just perfect. Definitely worth a drive. Looks like it can get packed and overwhelmed at peak hours.

    I love Seafood. I love seafood markets. I love seafood shacks. Anthony's Seafood Restaurant is all of the above. Consider me sold. Outside of Newport in the more suburban enclave of Middletown, but certainly not far from the beaches, lies this nondescript looking establishment that houses a lot of culinary wonders from under the sea. Here is what we ordered: 1) Lobster Roll - Lots of fresh, succulent and chewy tail meat (I prefer lump claw meat) crammed on a toasted roll. It was a generous portion, served with perfectly cooked fries at a not so generous price (18.99). I also prefer my Lobster roll dry, the rolls here had too much mayonnaise (vile substance). But it's a lobster roll, and I guess one shouldn't be so picky. 2) Stuffie - The definitive Rhode Island seafood snack. Here a big, fresh Rhode Island quahog is stuffed with Portuguese chorico (sausage). It was tasty and filling, but not being a stuffed quahog expert, I thought it had too little clam flavor. But at 3.95 apiece, I can't complain. 3) The Portuguese Fish Chowder. Hearty, creamy, spicy and filled with tender, flaky lumps of cod fish, and flavorful chorizo, this was the meal stealer. Easily the best chowder I had all weekend and perhaps ever. I will come back and get a bowl instead of a cup of this next time. I've had better lobster rolls and clams (but not many) in my lifetime, but this restaurant is well worth coming to if not for the phenomenal Portuguese Fish Chowder.

    Decent lobster roll with side choices. We also tried portugese chowda which was tasty. Nice combo of spice and creaminess. Also had the clambakes which are fried dough with clam flavor and some bits and also ordered 1 king crab leg which was tasty. Def worth a visit if u have a craving for seafood and are in the area and can't get out to cape cod. Only annoyance were flies that flew in with our food. They must have come in via kitchen. Otherwise decent food at ok prices.

    I ordered the lobster roll which was pretty good. I liked that is wasn't slathered in mayo. I thought it was sort of pricey for not so good fries and the atmosphere wasn't very nice. The stuffed quahog was pretty good.

  • Camy C.

    yes, what everyone says is right. this place is awesome!! I love their portuguese fish chowder - it's creamy and spicy, it's got fish (yes.. hence the name), but it's also got scallop (big pieces!!), potato, and shrimps. It's so good! I always bring back a pre-refrigerated tub of soup whenever I visit my cousin in Newport. SO GOOD! Tried lobster roll for first time in my 3rd visit. It wasn't cheap at $24 but it's got so much tail meat (none of that claw white stuff) and barely any mayo. It's really fresh and the fries are awesome too. It also comes with a cole slaw and a pickle. In the past, i have tried fish and chips (perfectly done) and fish sandwich (same as fish and chips but less than $10). I had also bought some stuffed seafood items from their counter previously and made it at home. They come with instructions and was tasty but not good enough to repeat. I'll stick with their hot food. Brought friends to this place, and they all agreed it was one of their culinary highlights of the weekend (and we ate at quite a few seafood places).

    Consider yourself very lucky if you have discovered Anthony's Seafood Restaurant. Anthony's is a carefully guarded secret by locals and a few lucky tourists. With Yelp, the secret will be out, but that's okay, everyone needs to experience the best seafood restaurant in Rhode Island. There, I said it! I'm not talking about fancy, eating lobster on a bed of couscous, overlooking the Newport Harbor. If you think eating seafood on the water enhances the experience, Anthony's will stomp all over that notion. Everyone within a five hour drive needs to get in their car right now and come get a cup of the Portuguese Fish Chowder. It's an orgy of cod, shrimp, scallops, and chourico for $4. It's kind of a big deal! The fun doesn't stop there. I can also recommend the Grilled Tuna Steak Sandwich with red pepper mayo and grilled bermuda onion for $10. OR The Lobster Salad Roll with fresh picked lobster, celery(not overpowering with crunchiness), and mayo on a grilled hot dog roll for market price ($18.50). Be warned, this roll is on steroids, so you will get your money's worth. OR You can add four clam cakes to any chowder for only $2! That's a meal alone. Unless, you're getting lobster, you can keep this meal affordable and be absolutely satisfied. Also, Anthony's doubles as a market, so you can get top quality seafood and hit the road. Good things happen to those who wait and it has taken me over twenty years of vacationing in RI to discover this gem. I'm excited that I have the remainder of my life to enjoy it.

    Came here for lunch on a weekday. Had the Portuguese fish chowder as a starter. It was spicy, and had chorizo in it. The chowder had a nice taste and was creamy. Also tried the New England clam chowder which was creamy as well but I preferred the Portuguese chowder. Had the fried oysters as an appetizer and it had a good batter that was not too heavy, and came with fries that were good. Ordered the lobster meal which came with a 2 pound lobster, 1 pound of mussels and 1 pound of steamers along with potatoes, corn and chorizo. The seafood was fresh and you could taste the sweetness of the lobster along with the freshness of the mussels and steamers. The corn and potatoes were fine and the chorizo was OK. They were out of lobster rolls when we went so maybe I will try it next time. I would definitely recommend Anthony's if you are in the Newport area.

    I really wanted to love this place, but it didn't live up to the hype. I was in town for July 4th weekend and after many recommendations, I ended up at Anthony's. It's a bare-bones kind of place with a line out the door. The guy manning the line was really sweet and handed us ice-cold water. I was extremely grateful, since it was sweltering hot and humid outside and the line was a 30-40 minute wait. Once we actually ordered, the food came out super quick, though. I got the New England clam chowder, the calamari and the lobster roll (seasonal price, $24). I don't know. After seeing the 190+ reviews on Yelp and waiting 40 minutes to get my food, I expected something really spectacular. But maybe I shouldn't have had such high expectations. The clam chowder was the only thing that was exceptionally tasty. Everything else, unfortunately, fell short. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing bad about the food. The lobster roll and the calamari was good. Just not great. In my honest opinion, it wasn't worth the wait and the crowded, unbearably hot environment.

    Fresh seafood and cheap prices! Try the crab cakes and clam strips. I've been meaning to try this place I saw it on Triple D!

    Visited here a few hours ago and have to say that I was not impressed. I was starving after driving from Boston to Newport on an empty stomach. I mention that because when I'm starving, everything tastes good and after hearing rave reviews from people I knew in Newport who ate here, I thought I was going to be in for a treat. I order their baked scrod with fries and broccoli, with fried calamari and New England clam chowder. The chowder was fantastic and thick. The clams tasted fresh and the stock was thick with meat and potatoes. I loved it! The fried calamari was.. well.. it was fried calamari. Personally I like getting the tentacles along with the body of the squid (the O shaped pieces), but there weren't any tentacles, only the O's. But it was good and had a decent portion. The Scrod which was the main dish was anything but good. It had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. The Scrod tasted like water; in other words, tasteless. Even though I squeezed all the juice out of the lemon they provided, (I think I popped a vein in my neck from squeezing so hard).. it did little to add to the flavor of the fish. The broccoli that came with it tasted like rubber but at least the fries were good. The staff had a nonchalant attitude which didn't add to the appeal of the place. Then again, they don't work for tips and they looked like high school kids so I don't blame them and it didn't negatively affect the rating. The decor was actually pretty nice, but it was sort of dark in the interior. I was there at around 7pm and it was just about dimming outside, they could have turned on the lights a little bit more. Overall, I paid 47 dollars with tip included and that's a fair deal for two people. Plenty of parking was also a factor as to why I rated it 3 stars instead of 2.

    We saw the review on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The Rhode Island Clam Chowder was a hit for my wife and oldest daughter, who prefer the broth over a cream base. My youngest enjoyed the New England Clam Chowder. The Clam Cakes were good. We got the fried fish platter. It was also great, but we might just order individual items (e.g., clams and shrimp) in the future. The portions were large, they were fresh, and the wait was not long. Cheaper prices than what we were paying in Boston.

  • Vanessa T.

    We arrived shortly before they opened on Sunday. It was a gloomy, rainy day and I had chowder on my mind. We arrived at a good time because the place fills up quickly. I had the spicy stuffie and a cup of New England clam chowder. To wash it down, I had a glass of wine. It was filling for me! My husband had the same thing, but he opted for a local seasonal beer. We were both completely satisfied. If you desire more than the regular run of the mill lager, you can get that, but they also carry local beers. Anthony's isn't only a restaurant, but it's a fish mongrel as well. When we lived here briefly, we bought fish and other seafood from them with some frequency. I didn't realize how much we missed this place until we came back. In short, it's a no frills, watch you see is what you get sort of a place, and I love that about it.

  • Shirley W.

    Awsome food, large quantity and friendly service. I was a bit skepticle with coming here since I wasn't too crazy about Flo's which I heard was good. I shared a fisherman's platter and kung pao calamari. The fishermans platter was good. I had it with floundr and was a bit disapointed there was only one fillet of flounder and there was little scallops. The shrimp and clams were good. The kng pao calamari was extremely good. I plan on oring this one again if I'm in the area. It was loaded with dried peppers and a bit saucy. Overall the price was good for the large amount of food. My sister got a mountain of fried clam strips that cost a lot less than the fishermans platter.

  • Tia K.

    Delicious seafood, large portion for great price, and friendly service! We went the both times we visited Newport and both visits were great! We had the Fisherman's Platter, Calamari Dinner, hot Quahogs, NE and Portuguese Chowders. The fried food was cooked perfectly and the chowders are some the best ones out there. Oh yeah, we went during a busy Sunday dinner time. The wait wasn't terrible. You have to place an order first before you get seated. It seems like many customers yesterday were ordering for take out so dine-in patrons didn't have to wait long for tables. It's not too far from the Newport Mansions and there are plenty of parking spaces. If you're in the area, you should definitely check this place out! :)

    Anthony's Seafood has ruined me for any other fish market! I went in as a last resort a few weeks ago, after every other fish market I tried was out of fresh cod. I went in and bought 4 pounds of their fresh white cod and happily made my way home. While prepping and baking the cod, I knew it was going to be a great dinner. The fish was so fresh and delicious, it was like no other. Anthony's will be my only fish market now.

  • Amanda M.

    Our lobster was a little overcooked, BUT I will be getting ALL of my fresh seafood from here. Service was quick. The calamari was tasty.

  • Holly C.

    Very low key, casual spot. I would love to come here during the summer if I lived in the area. Enjoy some good, cheap, seafood and some beer! Our food came out fast, and timed nicely. Appetizers: 1) 2 jumbo shrimps 2) Half a dozen raw oysters 3) Stuffed Quahog aka "Stuffie" (stuffing with clams, chourico, onions, peppers, & spice); we ordered the hot stuffie Entree: NE Mega Meal (shore dinner + 1 1/4 lobster) = $25. It had a lot of steamers & mussels considering how much it was. They didn't have corn so we got broccoli instead (we were kindly given options). The chourico in it was okay, potatoes were decent & the onions and broth were good. We also each got a beer (I had the Newport Winter Ale which I was not a fan of). So all that food + 2 beers = $50. WOW. So. Freaking. Cheap.

  • Reid F.

    Yes, this is the real thing, Excellent, fresh seafood, well-seasoned, with delicious chowders. this is how New England seafood is supposed to be. Hats off to the owner, Steve, for creating a great, casual, dining experience!

  • Jon S.

    Sucks to visit this place a day before leaving Newport for moving day, but just like Pour Judgement, it left a good memory. Take out was again the name of the game in this borderline dive that teeters between a market and restaurant. But from first taste you know you're coming back. On this nice we went for the classics including a lobster roll, calamari (plain), and Portuguese chowder. All were done up just fine. I think Anthony's would be an excellent joint for a big lunch. Yeah its away from the beach, downtown, and most other shopping, but the food is sweet. Go for it.

    (4)

  • Mark F.

    Excellent clam chowder and the stuffed quahog is beyond good. You enter through the fish market so right away you know everything is fresh. Had the swordfish and they missed being perfect by an extra minute on the grill. Would try again and would recommend it

  • Anne W.

    Anthony's is just quality, fresh seafood in traditional preparations in a very relaxed atmosphere. The Portuguese seafood chowder is a standout. You can roll in here still sandy from the beach.

  • Hain L.

    Started off my New England road trip the right way with my belly full with yummy seafood! The Portuguese fish chowder was delicious with just a hint of spicy and the lobster roll was the best I've had. But I should have skipped on the clam cakes (fried dough balls with little itty bitty clam pieces - too greasy and heavy for my liking) and stuffie (it wasn't bad but i think that it's an acquired taste maybe). We got there right before the restaurant opened and were able to grab a table but the parking lot and the restaurant completely filled up by the time our food came out.

  • J P.

    Mediocre food at best. Not sure where all these "awesome" reviews are coming from. The staff looks tired and annoyed (we visited on Saturday afternoon so it was busy). Steamers were over fried. French fries are your regular frozen kind - don't expect fresh cut potatoes. No draught beer, bottled only. This is just your average fried - chip n fish kind of place nothing special.

  • Giancarlo D.

    This place is awesome. Thanks Guy for coming here. My girlfriend and I came here for a wedding. The KungPao calamari and crab cakes were out of this world. The dish i had was Tuna steak was delicious. She had the special Nantucket and it was awesome.

  • Trista B.

    This place is EPICALLY AMAZING....we loved it so much we went here twice during our stay in Newport!! Such a cool place with awesome laid back atmosphere and totally legit, amazing food!!! You know its going to be awesome when there is a line waiting to order...when you walk in, they have their fresh seafood counter with all the delectible fruit de mer you could want just waiting to be bought and prepared. So you have this amazing view as you browse through the menu and try and decide what you are going to eat....the first time we came here it was for dinner, and I had to have the NE clam chowder, and of course a "stuffie". My husband had a tuna steak sandwich, and everything was absolutely perfect! The chowder was some of the best I have ever had, and the stuffie was super tasty. My husband's tuna was cooked perfectly, and he loved it so much the second time we came he had the exact same thing! When we came back, it was for lunch, and I had to try the Portugese Fish Chowder and clam cakes. The fish chowder was AMAZING!! I can't say enough good things about it, in fact I bought the local cookbook they were selling there, just because it had the recipe for the fish chowder in it!! The clam cakes were also very good. The food was pretty much awesome all the way around!! I really like the atmosphere here too....unassuming, chill, unpretentious....its a nice breath of fresh air compared to some of the more stuck up, higher-end places around. We loved it! Anthony's has also been featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, which I thought was pretty cool as well. Anyway, I would recommend this place to anyone, and this will be the first place we go for food if we are ever back in the area. If you like good, solid, awesome seafood, this is for sure the right place!!

    I was sitting in my hotel room in Newport trying to decide what to for dinner. I had Fat Guy Porn on the TV (you know the Food Network) in the background while I pounded through emails on the laptop when Guy Fieri came on a said he was going to a place in Middletown, RI ... let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. I watched that portion of the show and was sold on where I was going for dinner. I got there and walked up to the front to order. I knew I was going with the "Stuffie" and Kung Pao Calamari. At the counter I also decided that since it was cold and I was in New England I may as well get a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. The Clam Chowder was excellent, definitely one of the better ones I had. (and considering I've been working on the New England coast for the past 18 months I've had more than a few). The "Stuffie" is a clam shell filled with a clam, breading & spice mix. It comes in regular or spicy. Of course I went with the spicy option, and it was really good. The spice wasn't overwhelming so even if you're not a big heat fan you can still handle it. The Kung Pao Calamari was also very good. The calamari was cooked perfectly and while the Kung Pao sauce was pretty good, I found myself wishing I had just gone with the Classic (RI Style) Calamari. Ohh well, I'll get that one next time ... and there will definitely be a next time. If you're looking for really good seafood in a nice, unpretentious place, go to Anthony's. I would definitely recommend it over several of the seafood places in the City of Newport, trust me, your stomach and wallet will both thank me.

    We had just finished touring the Newport Mansions and we were hungry for some seafood! We knew we wanted to eat at some sort of shady seafood shack that serves amazing food and Anthony's was just that! Portuguese clam chowder- A delicious spin on clam chowder. There were potatoes, fish chunks, sausage, clams, spices....I don't even know! The best clam chowder I have had. I think it was 6 dollars for a bowl/the larger size. Clam cakes- Okay so we ordered this solely because the BF's coworker said these are Rhode Island specialties. His co-worker said they were just like "crab cakes but with clams" and so when we saw that a dozen of these things only costed 6 bucks we went for it! However, these are not what we were expecting haha. Clam cakes are GIANT clam doughnuts....fried dough with specks of clams. They tasted good but were so dense we only ate 3 between the 2 of us. Wouldn't get again but not bad. Lobster roll- $19. We were a little surprised the sandwich costed that much just because everything else was so cheap. It was pretty good. Light on the mayo (I actually prefer even less mayo) and had a piece of lettuce. The bun was large and there were fries included. Overall, this place was a perfect lunch spot after spending the morning at the Newport Mansions.

    After doing a quick yelp search for seafood in Newport, I found Anthony's. I highly recommend it. This is a no frills place, and the food is great. It's not pretentious at all, and they don't upcharge you for atmosphere. I had eaten a massive breakfast, so I wasn't too hungry. I got some clam chowder, crab cakes, and clam cakes to share. I had no clue what clam cakes were, but they were delicious. The crab cakes were great as well, they definitely were not lacking in the quantity of crab (like many others I've had). The chowder was great as well. In summary, the seafood was great and I highly recommend Anthony's.

  • Mitch K.

    I'm embarrassed to say this...my parents live all of 1/4 mile from this restaurant right off the same road and the last time I was here was like five years ago. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!?! I visit my parents 5-10x a year and I never think to go to Anthony's. Well today I decided to say hi to my dad and finally see what all the fuss is about. I had the kung pao calamari (delicious doesn't even begin to explain this dish, beautiful fried calamari with a sweet sauce, peanuts, and these red mild peppers, just heaven), the scallop dinner (huge scallops with some delicious fries), and the portuguese fish chowder (fish, chourico, etc. with a delicious kick to it). My wife had a couple of stuffies and said they were the best she's ever had. Do yourself a favor and check it out. My mouth is salivating eight hours later thinking about the calamari and the chowder....

  • Emma F.

    I order a one-pound steamer and a garden salad. Both of them were extremely fresh and tasty!! You might expect that it would be easy to find fresh seafood in Newport, but the truth is not. This restaurant is exceptional! I did not expect much when I was walking in, because I usually go to fancy-looking restaurant. But the food at this restaurant is just so great that I don't mind go back again to sit in there for the fresh seafood. I mean it was just not the fancy-looking like the others I would go to, but it was clean and quiet.

    (5)

  • Sofia C.

    Great seafood. Everyone liked what they ordered. The lobster roll was enormous and perfect - no filler here, just a heap of lobster. The fried shrimp were cooked perfectly. The broiled fish was tender and tasty. It took a while for our food to arrive - we noticed that there was quite a difference between when each table ordered and when its food arrived - but we believe that this is because some of the dishes simply take a lot longer to prepare. A simple fried plate will come out of the kitchen in minutes, but something that takes a while to bake (like stuffies) will take longer. So don't be frustrated if your order takes a few extra minutes. When it arrived, everything was piping hot and perfect. We'll be back.

    (5)

  • Jeremy D.

    Ok, so I always call it as I see (taste) it. One of the best seafood shakes ever. The lobster roll was described by my co-dinner as "the best I ever had". Sweet meat. I stupidly didn't order that. However, my cod fish sandwich was moist, perfectly breaded and absolutely delicious. Clam strips were great. Clam chawda perfect and full of great flavor. No ambience. Beyond recommend.

  • Liz M.

    Undoubtedly recommended, but a bit of a production. Incredibly long line for dinner, with a deceptive inside turn. It probably took us about a 30 minute wait, during which someone provided menus to look at but no one gave us a time estimate. I got a half a dozen raw oysters which were quite large but not packed with flavor, followed by a lobster roll. The lobster roll is perfectly assembled- huge chunks of lobster, almost no mayo, delicious bun. You buy your own drinks from a bottle-cooler at the register. They gave us a number, with a whole shpeal about how they wouldn't start our food until we were sat, though we were sat almost immediately. You can sub out a side, which I did for the corn on the cob, fresh and in-season but a bit undercooked. It took our food a really long time to come out, maybe another 20 minutes. Then they really rushed us out as soon as anyone was near finished. When clearing a plate, the busser knocked over and spilled a bottle of water. These things happen, but he said "oh well, good thing it's just water" (now on our laps), with no apology and no offer to provide another bottle. Ultimately the food was great, so I'd go back and hope the logistical kerfuffles were a one time thing.

  • Amber S.

    Their Portuguese clam chower is the absolute best chowder I've ever eaten! Every time I visit Newport, I eat it at least 3 times a week. When I'm back home in Washington I look at pictures and daydream about my next time eating it! Yeah...it's that good! Their onion rings are great too...and the prices are extremely reasonable! Love it!

  • Anna S.

    Stopped in for a late lunch, ate some great fresh seafood! Large menu, even includes something for the non-seafood eaters. Seafood market looked great, if we.lived closer I would definitely buy fresh fish and.shellfish.

  • Jennifer M.

    The best clam cakes and RI clam chowder! The clam cakes were filled with clams, they were light and not greasy. The clear chowder was full of flavor - there were lots of clams, the potatoes were perfectly done and the flavor of bacon came through to compliment the broth. We'll be definitely be coming back for more.

    (5)

  • Meghan W.

    Awesome! I came back to RI with my boyfriend to visit my parents and they took us here. The BF wanted a classic Lobster Boil, which he had never had before so my parents immediately suggested Anthony's. The portions were extremely generous and the food was fantastic! We came in late and ordered a meal that takes a long time to eat. We were there well after close and the staff was very gracious. They did their closing work around us but never made us feel rushed or like we were an inconvenience. Kudos to Anthony's for having great food and a fantastic staff! This place is a gem!

  • AzilennA T.

    We are definitely going back to this restaurant. We are from California and we love to eat seafood. We drove from Providence to Newport just to have fresh lobsters at a reasonable price. We found this place because Aquidneck in Newport is under renovation. Prices are reasonable. I love their calamari and the whole lobster was very fresh. We also ordered some steamed mussels. We enjoyed everything! Place is very casual and a little touristy, but very welcoming. It looks like a family owned restaurant.

    (5)

  • S P.

    Food is fresh and well made. The cashier/hostess/menu expert girl was extremely helpful and kept us from making the mistake of ordering too much food. By the way, you order before you are seated. Me and the husband got there fairly close to closing so we took our food to go. I only tried the sandwiches and they were all good. But whatever you order, you got to get a stuffie.

  • Kristine S.

    It took me a really long time to come around on Yelp to review Anthony's Seafood because I wanted tourists to keep going to Flo's and keep Anthony's sneakily known only to me and the locals but the more I stop in and see the parking lot full of non-Rhode Island plates... the damage is done, everyone knows the secret! There's stiff competition here, but I believe Anthony's is the best place for seafood in Rhode Island, hands down. They've got a killer New England Clam Chowder, delicious Lobster Rolls, and perfect Fish and Chips.. the kind that's fried just right with tender fish on the inside. It's really informal inside; they have a fish market to buy fresh seafood as well as their sit down restaurant where you order before you sit yourself down. The waitstaff are always sweet and helpful and I make sure to leave a tip for them in the jar before I leave. It also seems like people of all kinds patronize this place... old, young, rich, poor, average. No one discriminates, this place is one of a kind. There you have it, I highly recommend this place. Your stomach will thank you!

    (5)

  • Jordan D.

    I think this place is New England at its finest. Anthony's is comfy, chilled out, homey and most importantly, its seafood is amazing. My girlfriend and her family stopped on in for a lazy weekend lunch. Everything we got and that I tried, from the stuffies, to the lobster roll (which my gf, a native New Englander claimed is one of the best she's ever tasted!) to the Rhody chowder; everything was mouth watering. The staff here definitely goes out of their way for you and really makes you feel at home. I'll be sure to come back again next time I'm in the area!

  • ML T.

    We were craving seafood and after reading all the good reviews, we decided to go try it out for ourselves. What we ordered: calamari dinner, don's portuguese little necks, new england mega meal and raw oysters. Everything was absolutely scrumptious...might consider coming back tomorrow night. The place was featured in Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The reason why I took off 1 star was because there was nothing spectacularly unique about these dishes. They were just really good traditional dishes.

    (4)

  • Food E.

    Came here based on the good reviews and ddd which recommended the stuffies and kung pao calamari. Never had a stuffed quahog before but it was enjoyed by myself and everyone else. The kung pao calamari was tasty but wasn't blown away by it - basically fried calamari with sweet chili sauce on top (like Thai sweet chili or something you might find at an Asian fusion type restaurant) and peanuts. Portuguese fish chowder was good, had a nice kick to it. Fried seafood platter was a nice size and very good! Small scallops though (bay scallops).

  • Red N.

    THE BEST Been here so many times and there's nothing on the menu I don't love. I've bought fresh things from them to cook at home and have always been pleased. The guys behind the counter know what they're selling and can help with ideas on how to prepare it. The restaurant is fantastic, too, and growing! My favorite is the lobster roll, but I don't think you can go wrong with anything. This place is well worth the rather un-scenic drive from wherever you are on the island.

    (5)

  • Rick M.

    Where do I start? This place is awesome! We come here at least 3-5 every time we go to Newport. The Lobster roll is one of the best I've had, and I've gone on a lobster roll quest in the past. The Kung Pow Calamari is terrific, spicy and sweet. The 2 lobster special (2 lbs of lobster) is the most lobster I've ever had in one seating. It's not fancy, kind of a deli/meat counter where you pay first and then find a table. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

    (5)

  • Geralyn D.

    Love, love, love this place. Great choices of fresh fish and your clam shack favorites. The Portuguese chowder is amazing. My parents live in Middletown, and this is one of our go-to favorites for seafood, especially after a day at the beach. Anthony's also catered our wedding with a clam boil, including clam chowder. Steve, the owner, gave us a great price. We thought he was just going to drop off the food for our buffet, but to our surprise, he stayed, served the food, and made sure everybody was happy. I also appreciated that he kept an eye on how long the food was out since we were so engrossed in the wedding. Don't want to mess with those clams.

  • Agustin K.

    Not quite Newport but quality food regardless and less headache with finding parking. The decor is a bit nautical as expected. Love the fact they serve beer and wine at super reasonable price. the Portuguese chowder was quite yummy and we loved our lobster roll. Huge chunks and not too much mayo. The fries are spectacular!!!

  • Steve H.

    I went to Anthony's for lunch today and it was a solid 3 star experience. I followed in other yelpers footsteps and ordered the Kung Pao calamari and the spicy stuffie, both were delicious however my calamari could have been warmer. The other person in my party ordered the salmon burger, which was flavorless and somewhat cold. The fries were hot and crispy! He also got the Portuguese Chowder. The taste was pretty good but if you want amazing Portuguese chowder go to The Boat House in Tiverton, it's far superior in taste. Overall there seemed to me a major temperate issue with the food. The chowder was one step above cold and other food wasn't warm either (as mentioned above). The main reason why I'm not pushing this to a four star review was that the cashier wasn't helpful in the least. One of us has an allergy to bell peppers and we wanted to know if the crab cakes had them (they do). Not a ridiculous request and the woman just gave us major attitude when she had to go ask someone. Mind you, no one else was in line so we weren't holding anyone up. The other action that put me off to her was when they delivered the chowder they mistakenly brought 3 clam cakes with it. Simple mistake but rather than just let us have it, as it was already been delivered to our table, the woman comes back and grabs them off the table when she realizes the mistake. That's fine, we didn't pay for them but I can only assume she just brought these to another table. It still kind of grosses me out. If I were Anthony's, I would have just ate the cost of the 3 clam cakes. All in all, if I were in the area and there wasn't a long line, I'd go back just for the Kung Pao Calamari.

    (3)

  • Joey D.

    New England clam chowder was the best, Kung Pao calamari was the best. Lobster roll was not the kind I prefer, I like when it's hot with butter, they make it cold as a lobster salad on a roll. If you like it this way, this place is a home run. Better than most places in newport and less $$$.... Your choice

  • Susan W.

    Don't waste your time going to Newport for your seafood. All you get is a view. Better food here with friendly staff and reasonable prices. Don't be fooled by the location. The food is AMAZING. Also serves beer and wine by both the bottle and the glass.

    The last time I was in Newport I tried Flo's for my lobstah roll fix. It was good but I wasn't looking to deal with the wait for a seat since it was a Saturday. That plus this time there was eight of us. We pulled into the parking and found plenty of spots. We walked in, placed our order at the register and waited about 15-20 minutes for our food. I had the lobster salad roll priced at $18 at the time. It seems a bit steep but you get all the meat from one lobster. It's not just a scoop of some mishmosh of lobster. It was delicious. I tried some of my wife's cod fish and chips and that was pretty darn good too. The service was friendly and the atmosphere is great for the whole family. Kudos to my fellow yelpers for recommending this place.

    Had the 2lb lobster and clam chowder - delicious and fresh. Place is understated with no frills but that's okay for a seafood place. A must for anyone in the area.

    As you might imagine, the Ocean State knows a little about fish, and there are a lot of seafood restaurants. I've been living here for 2 1/2 years now and so far the best one I've found is located in this nondescript building in Middletown. There are no beautiful water views to be had here, but if what you're after is great seafood, perfectly prepared, and at reasonable prices, this is the place for you. You step up to a counter (in the summer there's often a line, and on Saturday nights in the summer it's going to be a long one), order your meal, and then grab a table. The menu ranges from inexpensive dishes like fish tacos and sandwiches to more pricey lobster rolls and seafood dinners. There are excellent bisques and chowders too. Whatever your budget, you can be sure that you're getting the freshest seafood and that it will be prepared exactly as it should be.

    WOW..... We purposely ordered about ..6 items of this menu to get he full experience. This plaece (half market-half no-frills restaurant) has some AMAZING food. The seafood is so fresh... all you taste is sweet and brine... delicious. We ordered the: Portuguese Fish Chowder This is the most amazing chowder I have EVER had.. It beats them all.. GET A HUGE bowl.. order two do whatever just make sure you order this. This dish alone is worth the 10 hour trip. Kung Pao Calamari This was a great spin on the calamari were are all used to. The spicy/sweet flavor was perfect. The squid was cooked to perfection (NO rubber here). My only suggestion - less breadding on this dish. Stuffed Quahog This is like a total RI/ New England thing, but... we just couldnt get into it. It tasted like... bland, midly spiced bread (pass on this one unless you want to say you tried a "stuffie") Fisherman's Platter We ordered this fried amalgamation just so we would have tried almost everything on the menu. Whole Bellied Clams - Not for everyone, but if you like clam... you will like this Shrimp - cooked perfectly.. sweet and delicious Scallops - bay scallops.. so they were small and sweet Cod - SO delish.. Buttery .. tender... amazing Fish Taco Great! they just need to NOT use 2 different kinds of tortilla and use something other than American Cheese.

    Amongst all the heavy hitters (aka expensive restaurants) near Newport, RI... I was lucky to find this place. I wanted to treat my parents to some seafood.. but we didn't really care for the frills of a fancy restaurant. It was a looooong drive from Boston.. imagine tons of small roads you have to take to get here.. but it was worthwhile when we got there. Tons of parking.. no wait when we got there. You stand in line and simply order. We got the steamers which were delicious! (And don't let anybody tell you that all steamers are alike.. they are not!! They were big and delicious here) We also got the two lobster special which was very delicious as well although it didn't seem hot.. just warm. They cut it for you so make it easy for you to get the meat out.. and the shells for the lobster were pretty soft. Softer than I remember for Maine lobsters... perhaps they are RI lobsters? New England clam chowder was good too although they let me try the RI clam chowder.. different twist.. not sure if I like it too much but they let me try it for free. Bascially it's a broth instead of a creamy base. Quick.. and to the point.. would definitely recommend it again!

    One of our favs on the island! Love the fish platters ... The crab legs are to die for... Only reason we didn't give them five stars is the whole belly clams are a bit on the 'chewy' side. All in all though, a great place to dine... Reasonably priced too,

    10 stars Rhode Island Clam Chowder 10 stars Portuguese Fish Chowder 7 stars Spicy Stuffies 3.5 stars Kung Poa Calamari 5 stars atmosphere 5 stars service 10 stars prices Regrets: Not being able to finish our food Not getting more to-go Not going back the next day for lunch The food here was amazing. I imagine there are some other amazing seafood restaurants in the area...If I lived there, I'd never find out though, I'd be going to Anthony's for lunch every day. I'm from the Coastal South (an island, with a festival dedicated to shrimp), now live in New York, and am married to a chef--meaning I take seafood seriously. It was well worth the drive (as out-of-towners) from Newport to Middleton, which is pretty short but involved bad Google Map directions, a lot of blind corners, and even more unmarked roads. We got there at 7-ish on a Wednesday night in October and had no wait even though they were busy. I was confused about where the menus were, where to order, and if you bus your own table (answers: the menus are right when you walk in, at the counter, and no), but the high school girls working were super nice and didn't treat me like a stupid tourist. I'm now a chowder person and the stuffed clams lived up to my high exceptions. The calamari was cooked perfectly (not chewy), it just didn't stand out compared to everything else. My husband and I had a fresh seafood dinner (2 cups of soup, 2 stuffies,1 calamarie, 2 bottled drinks) for just under $25. Tip: Bring cash for the tip jar. Anthony's does accept cards, but you can't leave a tip on them.

    Found Anthony's thanks to my fellow yelpers! I was looking for a place to take some out of town guests in Newport that wasn't Flo's since flo's is overpriced, over crowded, and underwhelming. Anthony's was an unassuming little crab shack. We got a stuffie, NE clam chowder, clam cakes, and fish and chips. The stuffie was weird. Very gooey and not very clammy. The chowder was creamy and rich but very bland. I had to add oyster crackers just to give it some flavor. Not my cup of tea . . . well, actually, not my cup of chowder (har har). The clam cakes were a bit greasy and again, not too clammy. However, the fish and chips were super delicious! The fish was nice and flakey and flavorful and the chips were well cooked. Totally beat the pants off of Flo's fish and chips. If I were back in town and wanted some no fuss food, I'd come back =) next time, I'll have to try the lobster

  • Al D.

    4-1/2 stars, really. The fish chowder was the best I've ever head. The clam chowder was awesome. Kung pao calamari so good. Salmon fish sandwich good and fries were yummy. The only thing I didn't care for was the boiled lobster. The staff is friendly. Decent beer and wine selection and reasonable prices. This is a "must go" for those in the Newport area.

    I have been buying seafood from Anthony's all my life, and used to eat at Anthony's Shore Dinner Hall off Thames St. in Newport when I was a kid. I ate in the restaurant today for only the second time. I wouldn't normally eat there (preferring take-out) but I'm on crutches so it seemed the best course of action. Before I go any further, let me tell you about the food. It's excellent. It's fresh. It's made to order. It's some of the best fried seafood and other ocean snackies you're going to get in New England. You can't go wrong with the food, OK? Go there. Eat there. But you can go wrong with the service. Oh my. Very wrong. Did I mention I was on crutches? Yeah, broken leg. Kind of inconvenient not being able to walk and all. And in my entitled, handicapped temerity, I had the nerve...to sit in a chair in which I was not specifically *allowed* to sit . A seat by the door. Basically, the first chair I came to after crutching across the humid, busy parking lot. The, umm...host? Maitre d'? Grand-Pooh-Bah Seating Flunky?...he really didn't like that. So, he proceeded to harass me, my girlfriend, and my girlfriend's young daughter. Because he hadn't seated me there, you see. What a little Hitler. He even followed my girlfriend into the ordering line to proclaim that he would be happy to get me a chair...in which to wait in line. Doofus, it's not a wheelchair. Are you going to stand behind me and scoot me along? You know...it's the hospitality industry. You're supposed to make feel welcome.And you're supposed to graciously admit when you're wrong. So to summarize - I will be back. I'm not letting this tinpot seating dictator keep me away from great seafood and, quite honestly, the only stuffies I like other than my own. But I'll be off crutches when I return, and I'll have my eye out for that smarmy seating martinet...

    Saw this place on DDD, knowing that we'd be going down to RI in a few days - perfect timing. One word - YUM! Delicious, fresh seafood. Huge fan of the kung pao calamari - little spicy, salty peanuts, crispy calamari...delicious. I also had the salmon burger - nicely seasoned, not too over-processed/mushy. Not being a local/regular, was a little confused about how the seating worked - you have to stand in line, put in your order at the counter, then stand off to the side / wait to be seated (once your order comes up). Got a little chaotic. Ambiance, nothing special (it is a fish market, after all).

  • D C.

    We have been a couple of times and have enjoyed it every time. Tried the Portuguese chowder and we all enjoyed it. Really didn't find it spicy, but that's me. We also got clam cakes and totally loved them. Dunk them in the chowder...yummy. We brought the fisherman's platter home and enjoyed it the next day. Ask for water and they give you a carafe with ice and cups. Works out great. Only problem is that they only take Visa or Mastercard...good thing we carry one of these, just in case.

    This place was much further away from Newport than I had thought. With so many good reviews, it seemed like it was worth getting away from the downtown area for a good lunch. Nothing about the location or the restaurant was remarkable. I probably could have driven by it a hundred times and not know it was there. I'm so used to being underwhelmed with seafood portions at "seafood" restaurants that I went overboard and ordered 4 dishes for the two of us. After all, just a few small orders of fried shrimp, clams (whole belly clams... yum!), a lobster roll and fish tacos. So, how much food could this be? Well, it was a LOT. Small orders or not, there was a lot of shrimp and clams. I can't imagine what large orders look like. The lobster roll, at $18.50, at first seemed somewhat expensive, but touristy price. But what we got could easily be almost twice the size of an average lobster roll, with meat to match. I cut it in half and shared. We probably could have stopped right there. The fish tacos were huge, but unremarkable. I wish my wife hadn't ordered it. Had we came with friends or other family, I would have loved to have tried the steamers--2 lbs per order! I saw a nearby table eating it, and I was so envious! With so many recommendations to try the Portuguese fish chowder, I had to try it. It's a bit spicy if your palate can't handle a little bit of heat. Lots of scallops, fish and pieces of chourico (sausage). Very good! We ordered a bowl of it, but it's not a very large serving. It's different, but personally, I prefer good ol' New England clam chowder. Next time... I was very happy with the place, even though it took us away from the Newport "scene". And given that Anthony's sells fresh seafood on the same premises, you know everything is fresh. I even saw their supply van at the docks in Newport loading up, so I think I know where their seafood comes from (the lobster, at least).

    This place is classic. The best seafood in the area. Come in, order your favorite seafood items, and sit back with a beer and enjoy. Be prepared for insanely long waits, unless you come late. However, they turn the tables efficiently and the food is delivered quickly. This is not a place for fine dining & white glove service. No need to change into any of your evening outfits. ADVICE: send one person to the line and leave everyone else in the car. Once the food is ordered, you can then meet at a table. I witnessed some pretty ridiculous situations with grandparents standing, kids sitting on the ground, and strollers in the line.

    Living in Newport for 10 weeks and went for lunch with the wife because she said she saw something about it on the Travel Channel. We really liked it and had a great time for lunch. The NE clam chowder was ok (I've had better), but the stuffed Quahog , the crab cakes I had and the swordfish sandwich my wife had were awesome. I wasn't a fan of swordfish until I tried and then stole my wife's sandwich. ****UPDATE, I went back recently, and the NE clam chowder was much better this time. Maybe it just depends on who's making it.

  • Toni T.

    Went on a rainy Saturday...the bf and I didn't wait long at all to place our orders nor receive our food. The lobster rolls were pretty darn meaty and tasty. The price associated with an authentic lobster roll was to be expected...worth the splurge on occasion.

  • Amanda D.

    Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend and I went down to Newport for the day and visited the Newport Vineyard and stopped in here for lunch first. It definietly did not disappoint. We both had soup to start. He had the clam chowder, while I had the Portugese Fish Chowder (much due to the reviews here). Fish Chowder was delicious, a little spicy with huge pieces of fish. Delicious. My boyfriend got the fried clam plate, which had the largest clams I had ever seen. Absolutely delicious. I got the salmwhich (salmon sandwich with pesto and mozzarella). Salmon was so moist and perfect. the only problem is you will leave here SO FULL! If you are going to visit the Newport Vineyard after definietly take some time to digest, but you will not regret going here!

  • JJ L.

    Started out with a Newport Storm Hurricane Amber Ale. Followed by NE Clam Chowder, fried bay scallops & house salad. Excellent, couldn't finish fries or salad. The cod fish & chips were good, according to my two friends. The stuffed quahog clam wasn't as warmly received. lots of fresh food at a good price.

  • Stewina S.

    YES! Excellent. We tried the fish chowder, kung pao calamari, lobster roll, and fried clam strips. The fish chowder was amazing...almost like a bisque. The kung pao calamari was different. It was tangy and delicious. Just a note -it has peanuts in it (allergy alert). The lobster roll was made with mayo and celery. I usually only order rolls with the buttered lobster, but I read it was really good so I gave it a shot. I am glad that I did. YUM. The fried clam strips were light and tasty. Everything arrived at the table at the proper temperature and service was great. Nice job.

  • Nick S.

    Went here without even realizing it was on DDD, even though I had seen the episode a few weeks before. The line was backed almost out the door, but their system of ordering first, then finding seating seems to work well enough. One of the sons of the owner was directing traffic to seat people accordingly. It's a tad pricey, but the portions are large for what they give you! The clam chowder (white, $3.95 for a cup) was probably the best I've ever had. Well developed flavor, and ridiculously thick (the way I like it). There were tons of clams and potatoes mixed in with the delicious broth, which was just the right consistency. Also got the fish tacos ($9.95), which comes with 2. The tacos were good, but even better with the spicy mayo they serve on the side. Fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, can't ask for better with fried fish. GF got the lobster roll (market price, $18.50 on this day) which I had a bite of. It was better than most I've had, but I think the portion could have been a bit larger. This place was crazy busy yet still served great quality and delicious food, which was a treat. If I lived near here I would definitely come here whenever I got a hankering for seafood. Also very cool they sell fresh seafood on the left and have a restaurant on the right. Will definitely stop in if I'm in the area again.

  • Van O.

    Went there and ordered 4 items. Spicey Portuguese Fish Chowder, Lobster roll, Kung Pao Calimari, and Fish Taco. The Fish Chowder is OMG good! I'm not kidding... for 5 dollars you get a cup of seafood goodness all packed into a savory creamy chowder. The Calimari was a good spin the the traditional Calimari. The Lobster roll was very fresh but lacked a bit of flavor. I didn't get enough if any mayo on mine. I guess cooks must have forgot. But the lobster meat was definitely fresh. And the fish taco was another eh... The filet was fresh but lacked flavor. I would definitely go back for the fish stew! It's that good!

    Best place ever for a lobster meal, steamers, and clam chowder. My husband took me here for our first date 10 years ago. We recently went back for lunch to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. Whenever we visit Newport, we always come here. Same order all the time. The food is fresh and delicious. There is limited seating, but we never seem to have a problem. Couple of days ago, we took our SF friends here for lunch and they were really impressed. I will definitely come here again.

  • J P.

    Great thing is they have 4 different types of chowder and u can sample before u buy. I tried the Rhode Island, Portuguese, & new england. My fav was Portuguese . The New England was bland and reminded me of Campbell's. The Rhode Island is very particular for certain people. I didn't mind it, but I didn't love it. The lobster roll is definitely worth the stop. It was really good and pretty big for a lobster roll. It was light clean and fresh. I only wish they left the meat in chunks and not personally cut it in small pieces. Lobster roll came with fries lemon coleslaw and pickle. Coleslaw was bland, fries were just ok. Lemon and pickle helped balance the lobster roll, glad they were included.

    Had to get some seafood before I left the ocean state and found this place on Yelp. Only regret that I didn't get to try more dishes (i.e. lobster roll.) Will be back for that. This is my kinda place - a little on the divey side, no bs, just good food. Not trendy, off the beaten path, AND worth the trip. oysters on the half shell - old school with cocktail sauce and lemon were YUMMY! an order of small fried shrimp are a generous portion and come with some kick-ass french fries. will be back when I'm in the Newport area.

  • Sam H.

    All aboard! This place is terrific. Although we were staying in Newport, we took the drive to eat here and it was well worth the drive. We ordered the Portugese Fish Chowder, lobster roll and fish tacos. The fish chowder was filled with generous portions of fish and had a little spicy kick to it. It was creamy and wonderful. The fish tacos were huge and flavorful. If you are thinking about the fish tacos you usually get (what I mean is small and dainty), you will be pleasantly surprised at the size and taste of these babies. Now to the $18.50 lobster roll. $18.50? Yes and it's worth every penny. Don't be surprised about eating this off a hot dog bun. This roll is packed with PLENTY of fresh lobster. What I also appreciated was the fact that this roll was not doused in mayo. Anthony's picks great chunks of lobster and lets the meat do the talking. It was one heavenly bite after another. Lastly, while we were waiting for our food, I was observing the staff. They were friendly and kept the place very clean. I spoke with the owner at the end of our dinner and complimented him on running a tight ship. The food, service and atmosphere was excellent. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you want to get great seafood for a reasonable price.

    Great place, comparable to beach city restaurants like the Redondo beach pier seafood market and Neptunes in Malibu California, except fresher than Redondo and Neptunes, not so crowded, much friendlier and not overpriced. The quality is great, the food is fresh, properly cooked and delicious. The lobster was the best I ever had and I appreciated having the head intact so I could enjoy the tomalley. They also reserve the seafood broth and serve it on the side with melted butter and lemon. A clever "how to eat lobster" and "lobster facts" placemat was provided and service was stellar. The food came out fast. They had delicious local blueberry beer which paired well with the seafood as well. Overall a great experience.

  • Lauretta L.

    After dutifully doing my Yelp research, we got a bowl of the Portuguese Seafood Chowder and a lobster roll. The Chowder was perfectly creamy and just mildly spicy. I would have preferred more seafood, but for $5, it was a decent amount of crab, shrimp, and maybe lobster(?). The lobster in the roll comes cold but the bun is grilled, so it's an interesting combination of a cold and hot roll. The amount of lobster was probably an entire medium sized one on a huge bun. The fries are also thick and delicious - we were both stuffed! I highly recommend this joint if you want a casual and leisurely meal aka an escape from the tourist filled wharf.

  • SD L.

    Great spot off the tourist track. Very casual - order at the counter, which is at the end of a seafood counter that obviously serves local folks.

    Hit Anthony's on way out of Newport. Fantastic family meal. While upstairs at Flo's is still my "happy place" to relax and tie a load on while in Newport vicinity, for a solid seafood meal Anthony's is lights out... Portuguese fish chowder, clam chowder, lobster roll, fried clams, Kung Pao calimari all fantastic as reported. I live on Long island, NY. Why someone can't figure this recipe for fantastic unpretentious seafood out by me, I do not know. Be back at least once everytime I am in town, no question. .

    Three words: Portuguese Fish Chowder! It's a bowl of heavenly and fancy clam chowder! It's spicy, creamy, filled with chunks of fish, seafood and potatoes. Make sure you save some room for a cup of this secret gem! I regret that I only ordered a cup and not a bowl! : ( We also ordered fish tacos (fried fish versus the traditional kind but very tasty!), Shore Dinner (a huge bowl of steamers, mussels, corn and potatoes), baked scrod (simple but baked with bread crumbs. It's a light delight if you want something less heavy because it is NOT drenched in butter, I like). Make sure you stop by this little place when you are in the area! Highly recommended!

    This might be the best seafood restaurant in Newport/Middletown area in summer. Steamers and little necks are quite good. They also provide lobster, it's delicious too and the price is much cheaper than any other restaurants in Newport.

    Short and sweet review: The salmwich was melt-in-your-mouth fantastic without any creamy sauce to ruin it. The clam chowder should come with a heart monitor...very rich but very delicious. This is a very casual-dress place for real seafood lovers. And the service was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Go here to eat wonderful seafood if atmosphere is not your numero uno priority. The food is better than touristy Newport at half the price.

    I really don't understand why this place gets such good reviews. I had the worst fish tacos I've ever eaten (bland and New England'd) and the kung pao calamari. It was a pathetic squid that I ate. The biggest piece was as round as my wedding ring...and not much of it. Head south for real seafood...and tacos.

    It was pretty hot out today, so we went in search of a place with air-conditioning and that accepted credit cards (long story). We saw Anthony's Seafood on our car navigation system and thought it would be part of the Anthony's chain that's in San Diego and other places. Nope. NOT the same Anthony's. This was not the nice sit-down restaurant we were expecting. This was a small place where you place your order at the counter and then have a seat to wait for your food to come out. Also, it is NOT air conditioned. Even so, they took credit cards and we were starving, so we ate. Food was pretty good - very fresh. I had the Grilled Salmwich and a cup of NE clam chowder. The chowder was AWESOME. The Salmwich tasted a little fishy for my taste / not what I'm used to for salmon, but it was pretty good. I also tried one of the local Newport "Blueberry" beers, and that was EXCELLENT. Atmosphere is meh. It's not fancy. It was hot as heck. I was sweating profusely by the time we finished eating and left. Actually, I didn't bother to finish eating - I was too hot (I'm normally a clean-my-plate type of guy). Service was friendly and professional. Prices were reasonable.

  • Daniel L.

    Stopped by to try this place because of all the fabulous Yelp reviews and I was not disappointed. Ordered a cup of NE clam chowder and the fish (flounder) and chips. The chowder was creamy and tasty, with just the right balance of clams to other stuff. The fish and chips was a large serving of deliciousness, the three pieces of fish being perfectly battered and the fries hot and crispy. The meal wasn't exactly inexpensive, $13 and change, which is a bit more than I usually spend on lunch, but given the amount of food, I really can't complain. Perhaps I'll order something smaller next time I go there for lunch so I feel so stuffed either :) I'm kind of upset that I haven't tried this place sooner. I've been working in Newport for just over a year and drove past this place at least once a week. In a few weeks I'll be working in Wakefield so I won't have the easy excuse anymore. Boo!

    OMGOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Loved it! We first heard of Anthony's on the food network. We visited Newport for the first time in August. On our way out of town to Maine we made a point of finding Anthony's.....boy are we glad we did! Excellent seafood (chowder, fisherman's platter). We even told several people in Maine about it. Excellent service, perfect weather to sit outside. WE'LL BE BACK!

  • Dev C.

    Seafood is fresh, but preparation was simple and sometimes lacking flavor / complexity. We had the 2 lbs lobster ($40) - lots of meat and perfectly steamed. The Portuguese Fish Chowder ($3 small, $6 bowl) was a spicier and less creamy take on New England Clam chowder - a unique experience. The lobster roll ($20) and swordfish ($11) were well prepared, but lacking in seasoning and flavor. They also serve wine ($12) and beer to be consumed on premises. Service is good - the setup more casual than we expected with ordering at the counter and seating at a picnic table outside, but highly efficient and well run.

    Been going to Newport all my life and tried Anthony's for the first time this past week. Oh wait.. this place is so GOOD. We went to Flo's only to find a line backed up to the parking lot and decided to venture on into Middletown. Wow, we were blown away. Portuguese Chowder, Fish and Chips, Fish Tacos, Fried Clam Bellies, Sweet Corn and two Newport Storms to wash it down. Crap, it was good. Pretty cool to find a great looking fish market attached. Outdoor seating also. Don't go expecting a luxury dining experience. Order at the counter, get a number and the servers bring out the food. Great place for kids, plenty big for strollers to navigate.

    Get the Portugese chowder! I definitely recommend it. For you newbies to Anthony's, if you are dining there, order your food first at the register then go find a place to sit.

    I hate to go against all of the wonderful reviews of fours and fives. Three of us tried several starters and main dishes over two evenings. Unfortunately, quality of dishes were inconsistent. We tried New England Clam Chowder and Portugese Fish Chowder and they were both quite good. We tried the Kung Pao Calamari and Stuffed Quahog (Stuffie) on the first night. They were just okay. Kung Pao was just a kind of sweet chili sauce with a bunch of roasted peanuts on fried calamari. Not quite chinese, not quite western. Stuffie was very doughy and we were searching for bits of clams and hardly found any. The baked seafood Nantucket was excellent, but the stuffed shrimps were four shrimps with a bunch of the doughy stuffing attached. No special taste or flavor. Thinking we must have ordered the wrong things we went back on a second night. We all had Clam Chowder and it was very fine. We tried two pounds of Steamers. The clams came out barely warm and was so-so in flavor, we wonder if they were really fresh at all. The grilled Swordfish came out dry and over cooked. We had the baked Seafood Nantucket again and it was excellent again. In summary, inconsistent.

    This place is the real deal when it comes to fresh no fuss seafood. The food was phenomenal, one of the best meals we had on vacation! I had the RI chowder and steamers. The soup was so flavorful, it left me with wanting more. The steamers hit the spot and were a nice treat. My husband had the fisherman's platter, said it was the best he has ever had. The fried food was cooked to perfection without too much batter. When we are back in the area we will be stopping by Anthony's again and trying some more things off the menu.

    Update....back recently. I do not care for the stuffies...but my husband likes them. I think there is too much breading, not enough clam bits, and the "hot" ones are overpowered by the cherry peppers. I was very disappointed that they took the "side" of fried clam strips off the menu. I did not want the fries and coleslaw that came with my small portion of clams. The clams were still wonderful however. My husband had crabcakes, which were fried. Okay, not great. At least they were tasty - with bits of scallion. Stick with frieds clams, fresh oysters, lobster rolls.

    Never had a lobster roll up here in the NE before so I was a little surprised at the price. But the taste was unbelievable!! Also had the New England clam chowder it was one of the best I've had.

  • Kendra W.

    A Cali girl on a quest for the authentic New England seafood experience, Anthonny's was PERFECT. Half fresh market, half restaurant, it has no frills...just fresh seafood at the cheapest prices ive seen. When I went, they had a lobster special, two 1.5 lb lobster + corn for $25!! So fresh and sooo good, it even came witg bibs and step by step instructions on how to break and eat a lobster. I also ordered fresh little necks (6 or $3.95) with champagne vinagrette...so much better texture than fresh oysters!! My boyfriend and all the table around me ordered "stuffies" (large stuffed clams), but I'm not a huge fan of stuffing, so it was only ok to me. Eitherway, you have to try this place if you want quality like Newport restaurants, but without the high price tags.

    Every time I am in Rhode Island I make the pilgrimage to Anthony's. I can't find a single negative thing to say about the place. The chowders are the best. The clam chowder and Portuguese chowder with Chourico haunt my dreams. I know every bowl has cardiovascular disease written all over it but I don't care! I want it. I want it the way an addict wants his opiates. I also love their spicy stuffies. They are almost a religious experience. I feel I am spiritually honoring the Quahog that gave its life to provide me this sustenance every time I eat it. Life is too short not to eat Anthony's spicy stuffies. Their fish is always fresh and delicious, no matter how you have them prepare it. I usually just go the fish and chips route but they do mix the menu up a bit. There is always something unusual that you can order.

    Best basic seafood in the area. Fresh fish pretty stuff in the tables are getting sticky. is plenty of parking lot and walking to the fish market is a great way to start a meal. if you're not looking for linen tablecloths check this place out.

    Spent the afternoon at the mansions in Newport and asked a woman in the gift shop where to go for fish and chips. She told us she liked Anthony's and that most of the locals came here also. She said not to expect much as far as ambiance but that they had booths to sit at but the seafood was great. We were doing a late lunch/ early dinner so arrived around 4 pm on Black Friday. There was no line and our order was taken promptly. I ordered the New England clam chowder and the fish and chips (cod). The chowder was excellent. A traditionalist may scoff at the dill that was in the chowder but it really added a nice flavor. The fish was very fresh tasting and lightly breaded and the fries were cooked to perfection. Will definitely come back! BTW the fish and chips was only $9.95 and you got two good size pieces of fish, you really can't go wrong here.

  • Michael M.

    Wow! Wow! That is just the beginning of the review. This place is simply amazing. I ordered a 1 3/4 lb Lobster with Fries and Cole Slaw and it cost me $18.95. And add to it that it was the best Lobster I ever ate. Simply the best seafood I have ever eaten and I visit seafood restaurants often. You owe it to yourself to go there and try their food. I have also tried the New England Clam, Crab Cakes and Clam Cakes and all were good. What the place lacks in decor it makes up in the food. Amazing place!!!

    My family and I moved to Newport a year ago and have visted Anthony's several times. The food is outstanding, especially the Portuguese Clam Chowder. However, I'm a bit disappointed in the pricing. A lot of their seafood is is based on the market price, so it's consistantly changing. We recently went to Anthony's and ordered a lobster roll which cost $25. Although the lobster roll was very good, it certainly was not worth $25. You can go up the street to Easton's Point (where the pricing never changes) and get an even delicous roll for $18. Not sure we will ever go back??

    On our first weekend getaway to Newport, we had to stop off somewhere to get some seafood. Doing our research before we left home from NY, we knew this was a stop we had to make before leaving and we were not disappointed! We stepped in through the market to see all the fresh seafood lined up ready for purchase. It would have been great to buy some of my own to cook but being far from home, we sat down to eat in the restaurant. The restaurant is a more cafeteria style instead of dining in as there no wait staff other than the ones to bring you your food after you pay up front first. Looking through all the super helpful Yelp reviews, we settled on the Kung Pao calamari, cup of portuguese fish chowder and stuffie to start. Figuring it was enough for us, we topped it off with a lobster roll to split. The calamari was fried and seasoned well with a nice chili sauce with a small kick of heat. Unfortunately we weren't too impressed with the stuffie as it was mostly stuffing and we couldn't noticeably taste the clams and other ingredients. We started and finished the fish chowder before the rest of our food came because it was just that amazing. We were floored by how tasty it was and sadly our cup was empty before we knew it. If we come back, we'll definitely need to either split a bowl or get our own servings so we don't have to fight. Finally to the main attraction, the Lobster roll. We've had lobster rolls in the past and almost every time, our biggest complaint was that the price just wasn't worth it. This was the first time we had a lobster roll and walked away saying it deserved every penny. The chunks of lobster were HUGE and both of us having filled up on our appetizers, realized the roll was more than we could handle. Each eating only a half of the sandwich, we were stuffed and had to be rolled out to the car. We were trying to figure out how big of a lobster or how many tails they would have to chop up to just to make our sandwich! All in all, totally worth the trip and lucky for us wasn't even that far from our hotel since we stayed outside of Newport over in Middletown. Would highly recommend the food to all our friends.

    From Alaska where we are all about fresh seafood at least 6 months out of the year. . Was expecting a much fresher clam/scallops seafood experience. Lacking in all aspects. Shrimp was ok, chowder was disappointing and scallops were unflavored even if you striped the bland breaking off

  • Thompson L.

    Thank you Yelp. The reviews are spot on, the Portuguese Fish Chowder is a MUST TRY. It's not your typical chowder.. packed with seafood (fish, large scallops, clams, shrimp) and potatoes.. it's also got that Portugese spice to it. Skip the cup, get the bowl! The Fisherman's Platter is probably your next best bet. At $19.99 you get fried cod (or flounder), fried shrimps, whole belly clams, fried scallops, fried calamari and fries. Huge platter and let me stress how fresh the seafood was! (It s connected to its own local fish market) The Lobster roll was spensy @ $18 but the quality is there. Chunks of lobster, large toasted new england roll with a large leaf of lettuce. It's comparable to the Red Hook Lobster Pound lobster roll in Brooklyn, NY. Great to try if you're in the mood for it but I place it 3rd on the menu for value.

    We wanted our last lunch in Newport to be a casual "clam shack"/cheap eats/water view experience. Asking around, no one had any real suggestions and when I saw Flo's Clam Shack on our way to the beach I was told that the food wasn't that great. Our surfing instructor said that where the locals go is Anthony's Seafood restaurant, half seafood store, half restaurant. So glad we went. Ambience is.. well, a fish store when you first walk in. Walk to the right, order your food, and sit down at one of the plastic booths with your plastic utensils. Wait for your food to be called or brought to you. NOT FANCY at all, but we weren't looking for that. Stuffies: basically, baked stuffed clams on steroids. Instead of traditional bread crumbs, they actually break off small pieces of bread by hand, mix with lots of chopped clams and some seasonings, then pile it HIGH back into the shell. It really does stuff you, and is simple, basic fare. Fish taco: this isn't your average taco! This is a battered and fried filet (sole?) that is put into a burrito-sized tortilla along with some white cheese, and black bean salsa, then folded over and served with sour cream, guac and fries. it's huge (tacos are small). Fish was fresh. Crab cakes: even though the crab was shredded (i like just lump meat that falls apart when you just look at it!), these were delicious! Lots of spices (not hot) and shredded crab, not too much bread. Would definitely recommend them. Lobster roll: nice large, fresh chunks of lobster claw & tail meat mixed with a little mayo on buttered & grilled white bread. Delicious!! Swordfish burger: super moist and tasty swordfish thick fllet on a hamburger bun with cheese and pesto sauce - very good! Recommended! Oysters and clams: i don't eat these, but my other 3 dining companions were oohing and ahhing over how fresh and tasty these were, and we live near fresh seafood at home, so that must mean something! We heard you can also get this to go and find a place to picnic and eat it if it's a nice day out (they also have 2 tables outside). We recommend!!

    The seafood isn't really dressed up or made fancy. You basically get what you order, no frills. But what it lacks in presentation, they make up in taste. I can say that you can go down that menu and find something you'll like and not regret ordering it. The lobster roll seems to be my fall-back favorite, but the fish taco is a close second. Add some chowder to your meal and you'll be good to go. I like the fact that it's a little bit out of the way, it doesn't have a stuffy vibe like some of the other restaurants in Newport, which isn't a bad thing. Sometimes you just want stuff your face and loosen up the belt. Every time I'm on vacation here, I make it my business to get something from here at least once and more often if I'm up to it, which I usually am.

    We drove down to Rhode Island, to look at the views, and of course to eat some delicious food. Victor had been to this place before and said it was really good, so of course I was down to try it. We were really hungry, so we got tons of food :) Clam Cakes (Rhode Island local food) - interesting. Not exactly my favorite. Rhode Island Clam Chowder and Portuguese Fish Chowder - OMG Portuguese Chowder was SUPER good... a little spicy, but so worth the burn My first real lobster roll - soooooo goood Whole Belly Fried Clams - yumyumyum!! I would go back to this place if I was in the area again.. too bad there's nothing like it here on the West Coast.

  • Tony L.

    This has got to be the best spot for seafood in town. The Portuguese fish chowder was excellent. The fried codfish was the best i've ever had, tasted fresh and the meat was flaky. Had the 2lb steamers and it was all good. Fried whole belly clams were great. If you just want good seafood, this has to be the place to go because there is no ambiance and it's an order at the counter deal.

  • T L.

    Best (and largest) lobster roll I have ever had. Amazing. We went here for lunch, and I was throughly impressed by the whole place. My fiancee also loved her boiled lobster, and we will definitely come back if we're in the area. It was a little pricey, but that is to be expected. I didn't know until getting there that it was on DD&D's, but it definitely seems like something Guy Fieri would enjoy. We went on a Sunday for a late lunch, and it was still fairly busy (around 2:30 or 3:00). Definitely worth checking out!

  • Cate M.

    Really good food, very reasonable prices. As a native Rhode Islander, I know good chowder, and this was pretty good. The clam cakes weren't bad either. Is there better? Yep, absolutely, though this will definitely do. It's the best I've found in the Newport area so far.

  • B S.

    Fresh catch city. Endless options and combos. Family style restaurant is warm and inviting. The seafood was a bit too greasy in my book, though, to the point of diminishing some of the fresh goodness. Prices were reasonable, though, and service fluid. Would definitely revisit.

  • Sarah G.

    4 stars and here is why. atmosphere: not so great, but the place is nice and bright. doesnt smell fishy at all, so if you are going with someone who doesnt like fish or the smell dont worry. my friend had a burger and said it was a really tasty hamburger. he said he would go back for the hamburger so thats good. we also had the kung pow calamari and it was really good. the calamari is excellent. I had the Portuguese fish chowder and it is outstanding. very tasty. Food wise this place is a 4.5 but esthetically its a 3.5. Price wise I would say its pretty average. For the cheeseburger it was $8 and it was a big burger with fries. The calamari was $9 which is a really good price for such tasty calamari. The soup was $4, but it had lots of chourico, fish, scallops, and potatoes. Overall the food is really good and unless you are looking to impress someone with linen tablecloths this is definitely a great place to eat~

  • Jessica H.

    Food is GREAT. Good food for the price, big portions. The reason I did not rate a 5 is due to the lacking of ambience. You order as you walk in- not when you sit down at the table. I guess you save in tip this way :). I totally will come back when visiting Newport. Diner style...

  • Ryan B.

    The Portuguese Fish Chowder is the best chowder I've ever had hands down! If only you could get chowder in a bread bowl! The menu is huge and everything looks/tastes great. The entire staff is friendly and everyone seems to enjoy working here. Anthonys has an attached fish market that sells everything from Calimari to amazing crab cakes to go

    Tried for the first time last night, was expecting a meal to best all of other fried seafood experiences in the area based on the Yelp reviews, but sadly this place didn't deliver. We tried a little bit of everything...chowder (pretty good, some herbs so decent flavor), oysters and littlenecks (good), stuffie (good but better elsewhere), clam cakes (very good, best of our meal), and the fried fisherman's platter (just ok). The platter is a mix of fish, scallops, shrimp and clams. The "good" is the light batter. The "bad": We had 3 huge clumps of batter/multiple pieces of seafood mixed together, not good; bay scallops (?!), I have been too to many to count fried seafood joints and have never had those tiny, cheap tasteless morsels on a fisherman's plate. They do sell sea scallops so they should be on there. Overall, Flo's takes the cake in comparison, won't be back.

  • Allison E.

    (caveat: I traveled to this area a lot so after going through all the tourist haunts I started searching for the local recommend joints where it's not about paying for any view, it's about freshness and goodness and that's what I consistently get here.) So where do I start... -Lobster Roll: Definitely the best place on the island for the meat alone, though I have to say brick ally pub does the bread a bit better because of their supper buttered saltiness of their toast that counters the sweetness of the lobster. -The soups are always great here but the best they have I would say is the portugese fish chowder. It may or may not be as good or better than any in fall river but of their soups I would say this one is the best for me. -Clam cakes is definitely a local thing but for me it's intense in density and is perfect for those cold days when you just want soup and bread hartiness. Do like the islanders do and buy the rhode island clam, dipp this cake in and get intense clam goodness. -Stuffies are extremely filling here and are one of the better i've tasted in the area. It's a local thing so why not. -Kung pow calamari is one that always intrigued me on the menu but I never had a large enough stomach to eat this appetizer and my other faves but when I get back in town I will. My co-workers that go out here even more often LOVE this one and order it every time. They have good palates so I think I may just have to do this and a chowder or something. -Stuffed sole was awesome! The lobster sauce just perfectly enhances the rest of the flavors and is a treat for your nose. just try it. trust me. -The fish taco,(singular), is huge! Now I have to admit i'm the opposite of some reviewers on this blog and I prefer the baja/california fish tacos but for an adaptation/fusion with east coast style it works for what it is. Again, I'm not eating this because i'm a pacific coast fish taco type of person. Trully, you can't really go wrong here. It's great on the budget satisfying on the palate and easy to get to.

    Seriously an amazing meal...and this is after multiple mediocre and absurdly overpriced meals the previous few times in Newport. 2 lobsters for $24, and legit lobsters at that. The "Stuffie" (stuffed Quahog) had some spice, and even the shrimp cocktail was fantastic.

    (5)

  • Chris P.

    The food was decent. My lower appraisal stems from the hair that my friend found in her chowder. The Calamari was solid if not unremarkable. The Clams and oysters are decent. But be warned that this is a small place and I would not reccomend this place for parties exceeding 5 as you will be seated at seperate tables.

    My first time eating here was around June 7th of this year. My boyfriend and I had lobster rolls, and clam chowder. It was delicious! The price was decent but the taste was worth every penny! My second time here was for my boyfriend's birthday on August 16th and we ordered a mix of a whole lobster, clams and corn. I believe it was $29.00. It was so good! My boyfriend ordered fried clam strips, chowder, and his favorite lobster roll. I think the total that I spent was around $70.00 including our drinks. It was pretty good, considering you won't get that price at a Joe's Crabshack in Socal, where we're from. Our third time...yes, a third time, was on August 23rd. We ordered the twin lobsters and fried calamari. It was again delicious. Our occassion this time was we introduced this place to my friends, and my boyfriend was headed back to Socal. I am thinking of buying some of their mussels, shrimp or lobster to cook at home one of these days. The only reason I did not give the last star was that the employees seemed like they had no personalities or just disliked their job, or just can't wait to close down. Just a little personallity can change the atmosphere, you know?...maybe get even more tips from me next time. Overall satisfied and can't wait to go back.

    My husband and I went for lunch on a Tuesday. When you walk in you order and pick out your drinks. We also ordered chowder and then picked a table. Like a hosp. cafeteria. We each chose the Portuguese fish chowder. I had cup and he had a bowl. The chowder was awesome. There was linguica(sp*) along with sea scallops, clams, shrimp, and fish. We like spicy so this was perfect. We also ordered a seafood platter which was brought out within minutes to our table. That was also incredible. The seafood was fresh and fried perfectly. We ate so much I thought I was burst and still brought home a full box from our seafood platter. Our whole lunch took less than an hour and we were off. This place was so easy. We didn't have to wait for anything and when we were done we walked out the door. I plan to grab takeout and have a picnic when some warm weather returns. I LOVED this place. Just be ready for the low key atmosphere. Prices were good too. Our whole meal was under $40 including the tip we left in the tip jar.

  • Luke R.

    Everybody knows about Flo's. Not everybody knows about Anthony's. For a low price, we were able to buy two huge live lobsters to take back to the place for boiling. We also took two stuffies to bake. That was not an expensive endeavor at all. Then we returned to dine at the restaurant. Every bit of stuffie and fried clam we had was tasty. The parking lot had plenty of spaces even when the restaurant was full.

  • Chase K.

    It's hard to find a good place to eat in such a small town. However, this was easily the best meal I had during my 4 days in Newport/Middletown. Ordered one of each oyster and a lobster roll. I'd highly recommend the lobster roll, but next time I would ask for easy mayo. The sandwich comes with a lot of lobster meat, which explains why the plate is a bit on the pricy side. Still worth the price though. My coworker got the mega meal, which came with a giant whole lobster, potatoes, chourino, clams, and steamers. That was the first time I ever had a steamer, which I wasnt too fond of...a little too gritty for my taste. Both clam chowders were delicious too. If i'm ever in town again, I'll definitely be back.

    It's where the folks who live here go to eat great, affordable seafood. Not much in the way of mood or ambience, but who cares? The lobster roll was excellent. The NE clam chowder was excellent as we're the crab cakes.

  • Farhan M.

    We stopped off at this place for dinner after doing the Cliff Walk. I had a bowl of the clam chowder which was good but a little on the thick side. My son had an order of crab legs (3 for $7) which were very meaty and sweet. We also ordered fish and chips. I don't know what kind of fish it was but the batter stayed on and it seems really freash because the meat was so flakey. My wife and I also shared a lobster roll. If you're in the mood for good food, but don't feel like going to an upscale sea food restaurant Anthony's provides good value.

  • Angela N.

    Do not go here for a dining experience or ambiance. The food is good and a value for the money but food is ordered at the counter, you receive a table number and food is brought to you approximately 20 minutes later. Food was delicious, fresh, well cooked and seasoned. Wish they would make a more dine-in friendly version of this restaurant.

    Very yummy :) My family and I went here for lunch and it was good prices and great seafood. My mom got the calamari kong-pao which she said was amazing! My dad got the fish and chips which was three huge pieces of nice hot cod. I got the cod fish sandwich which was good, not great, not bad, just good. We also got soup and bacon wrapped scallops for dinner. Both which were great! This place is nothing fancy, just a good, locals place. Would definitely return. Pics coming soon

    Cheap food served on paper plates and in Styrofoam cups. It is, as many other have said, primarily a fish market with a restaurant attached. If you know that going in and also expect very delicious food and kind service you will be very happy. Also bear in mind that you order your food at the counter, get a number, and someone brings it out to you. I don't know if it's like that for dinner, but that's what happened at our lunch. We had the clam chowder and fish n' chips, both expertly prepared.

  • Sal G.

    The place to buy all your fish needs when on Aquidneck Island. Let's be frank for a minute: this place is first and foremost, a seafood purveyor - a fish market, which seems like in more recent years, added a dining area next to the fish bar. This is not an insult by any means, but I would consider this place a fish store, with a seating area, and less of a formal "restaurant", though their menu is dense. That being said, having come 3000 miles to eat here, I had the lobster roll, having heard about it for years. A traditional, New England, favorite. And I will say this: I have now had the lobster roll, which (to my disappointment), was served cold, and was overloaded with mayonnaise. It may be what the dish has been for 50+ years, but I guess I was envisioning more lobster, less filler (bread or whatever else they had added), and definitely wanted something served hot. This is less of a criticism of their offering, and speaks more to what I had expected. Guessing I just wanted "my" version of the sandwich, something with a little more of a nod to the revered crustacean, modernized by today's master chefs. None the less, was happy to have the $13+ sandwich, and washed it down with a microbrew. With an extensive menu, this place is the local diner of the area. But as I said earlier - the sheer selection of offerings in their fish market should be enough to get you to come here. Kind of harder to spot, look for TOPPA FOOD Co., which sits right next door.

    Nobody picked up phone when I called before I went there. When we did arrive, we found a long line of people waiting to order and then for tables. I decided to call in again to order take-out instead of waiting in line. Fortunately this time someone picked up phone and took my orders. NE Clam Chowder is ok. Swordfish on house salad is great! Price is very reasonable. Considering restaraunts in Newport are all relatively busy and expensive, Anthony's is a great value for the family. Just don't expect too much on dinning atmosphere.

    I really enjoyed my lobster roll - buttered grilled long hot dog roll - perfectly done a bed of lettuce then the lobster - chilled a very very light dressing of mayo almost not there and wicked good lobster - a whole lobster !! Not just the claws and the rubber you get in other rolls - this was knuckle - body and the whole lobster tail cubed - I was actually amazed. I had read in YELP about the price - mine was $24 bucks and worth the price - we stopped at Clements market after lunch and their 1.5 live lobsters were $ 16 bucks a pound. So I think I scored. While I wouldn't order a $ 24 dollar every day. This was a huge treat - meeting friends from Newport for a lunch of catching up. They have beer and wine - all kinds of regular coke/Pepsi brands and a plethora of locally bottled stuff !! My wife had the fish tacos on a black bean salsa with fries and our friends had huge portions of fish and chips - golden brown and when opened so moist. You can cook fish and chips even a moment too long and it's a disaster. Not here - they rocked it.. BTW none of that out of the 20 gallon bucket of cole slaw here that you can't eat - this was fresh crisp chopped and delivered ice cold. You order at the counter and the give you a number on a 2 foot high pole you place on you clean table. The waitresses work as a team so as soon as you meal is done they bring it right over. Mine came first - them my wife's separately then our friends a couple of minutes later but you know what - it works because you get yours cold or hot with crisp fries that haven't been sitting around. Clean bathrooms - and I haven't ever talked about the fish market. This was on diner drive-ins and dives and we've been to more than a few of those locations. This was the best on yet. $ 51 bucks for two sodas - one red wine - lobster roll - fish tacos and I almost forgot we tried the Kung Po Calamari - crazy good. Left $ 8 bucks for the waitress team so out the door for $60 bucks totally satisfied and feeling I got everything I paid for..it's bright - not fancy and really really good. We usually stop at Flo's coming off the beach and while Anthony's doesn't have the view and the end of day beach-iness this place rocks for the food. You won't be disappointed. Shut up about a lobster roll costing $ 24 bucks. Just go - you'll see what I'm talking about !!!

    My husband and I went here for dinner one night while we were vacationing in RI. It was DELICIOUS! My husband had the Fisherman's Platter with cajun breading and I had the Fried Calamari dinner. Both were very tasty (especially the cajun breading) and nice & crispy! The best part for me was that they served malted vinegar with the fries! The atmosphere was great too as my husband and I sat outside on the benches enjoying the sunset. I look forward to eating here on our next visit to RI.

  • Cassie D.

    My husband and I wanted to try Anthony's after reading all the glowing Yelp reviews. And I have to say, we had the best, freshest, tastiest fisherman's platter of our entire lives. I grew up in New England, eating a ton of seafood, and fisherman's platters galore, and this is by far the very best I've ever had. The New England style clam chowder is delicious. We will definitely be back, it's worth the trip to Middletown from where we're staying in Ma.

  • Suz S.

    We ate at Anthony's after touring the "Breakers" mansion. We were starving and the Yelp reviews let us know this is where we should have lunch. Wow, the food here was so good and great prices. The coleslaw was creamy and crisp, crab cakes were very well seasoned with little filler, the fried cod and flounder were succulent and sweet. And the cold beer sealed the deal. When I think back and try to remove a star to ding them on something so it won't seem like I'm just gushing...I can't think of a thing. I was really impressed that they had a sign on the restroom door that stated "...wash your hands after smoking..." This place was quaint, clean, great prices and fabulous food.

    Service is stand in line to order...the restaurant also serves as a fresh sea food market, so not too shocked to stand in line. Also allows you to check out their seafood stock. The food was excellent, very well worth any wait! The Portuguese Chowder (plus an extra $2.00 for 4 crab cakes) and Kung Pao Calimari are an excellent combination and the meal with a drink was under 12.00 bucks, very much worth every penny!

  • Roger R.

    Very good. The food was excellent. Our group had scallops, swordfish, seafood medley, fish and chips, and clam chowder. Everyone was very happy with their dishes. Atmosphere is very casual. The only reason I didn't give five stars was standing in line to order and searching for a table once you got your food.

    So on my way back from Newport yesterday, I took a ride by Flo's Clam Shack. Went around back, and continued driving lol. Always too busy in there, and personally, their food isn't worth the 40 min wait one bit. Well, it was a blessing in disguise. As soon as continued on home, I reminded myself that I always pass by Anthony's and I recall them having a "dine in/take out" sign out front. Confirmed... pulled up, parking lot was full of cars (as it usually is) and came in to get my fix of fried clams before I went home. Walked in, and to my surprise it is a seafood market as well as a sit down restaurant. Very cute inside, love the simple layout... man, if this place was located in downtown newport, Flo's would seriously have some competition... Anthony's definitely does it right. Had some oysters and fried clams, hit the spot on point. Also... next time I come, I will definitely be taking some fresh seafood home. 14-16ct raw shrimp cocktail for $14.99/lb. That is the best price i have seen anywhere.. usually it is $19.99/lb for that size, or, if you are at Whole Foods, $129.99/lb They have U-10's for $19.99/lb. With that being said, the rest of their fresh seafood is very reasonable, and lobsters are averaged at $8-$9 a lb, which is right on point with most other places as well. If you don't like the line at Flo's, make the 3 minute drive towards 138a and you will be happily eating and drinking within minutes.

    There are of course a lot of great seafood places in Rhode Island. But many times you walk in and realize you are the only person from Rhode Island or you can't afford more than a glass of water. Anthony's is neither of those. It is a great place for locals and those with kids. It's kind of like Cameron said on Modern Family, "I'm sort of like Costco. I'm big, I'm not fancy and I dare you to not like me". I have never gone and not had a couple spicy stuffies. They do them so well here. They really don't mess around with these. Also, high on my list of favorites is the stuffed sole with seafood and finished with a lobster sauce. It is one of those things you eat and just don't want it to end. Man it's good. Just under that is the Sea Scallops Romano (Georges Bank sea scallops prepared with garlic herb butter, white wine, seasoned crumbs and romano cheese). Also excellent if you are more in the mood for a sandwich is the grilled tuna sandwich. It is a huge cut of tuna grilled perfectly. The one thing I have tried here which was not great was the Kung Pao Calamari (squid rings with hot peppers, plum chili sauce, peanuts, and scallions). I liked it but it was a little too sweet for me. I'd stick with the regular calamari which is done so well. Overall you really can't go wrong. GO HERE!

    In a word... yummmm. This place has the freshest seafood, whether it be oysters or flounder, and it's hard to beat the prices. I had fried oysters that melted in my mouth like little briny beauties. You can also get them on the half shell, which is also wonderful. If you are looking for a place to get excellent seafood without frills, pretentious attitudes (seriously, if you want full service, white table cloth, don't come, this isn't the place) or touristy crowds, this place is perfect for you. Very homey, very friendly, and if you're looking for more seafood after your meal, they have an excellent fish market complete with uber fresh fish and shellfish, frozen shellfish and even alligator, condiments, pastas, and containers of their soups (my favorite is the Portuguese-style fish chowder. huge chunks of delicious fish and shrimp with chourico in a lovely cream-based soup with a kick) right alongside the restaurant. It's about the food. period.

    The positive reviews below are on the money. Lunch today involved delicious and generous portions of clam chowder, lobster roll, and French fries. The place is Spartan but comfortable and clean. Service is friendly and I left a tip in the jar at the counter. I only regret that I am leaving Newport tomorrow because I wanted to try some other menu items. We will be back whenever we are back in Newport or passing by.

    Flo's is more atmospheric but this is the place to go for some exceptional New England seafood. Great lobster rolls. Steamers are great. Fish and chips, excellent. Clam strips - better than Flo's. The fish market offers lots of good stuff, including lobsters. When the stars align and I'm in the area, I don't fool around...have to go here, and waddle out an hour later.

    (5)

  • Dani G.

    The seafood is some of the best in RI. I love getting an order of steamers as an app and following it up with the fish and chips. This is also a great fish market for take home cooking. Prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is not why we come- the fish is good!

    Flew into PVD (Providence) airport early Saturday morning, husband had a hankering for lobster and so we started looking around on yelp for a recommendation. Went to Anthony's based on eric n.'s review (accurate - thanks!) They have you order at a counter, pay and take your soup and beverage, and then deliver the rest to your table. Dunno that I'd call that "waiter service". Everyone was cheery and polite. The selection at the fish counter looked good, too. We had the New England Mega Meal with a 1 1/4lb lobster. (This is a "Shore Dinner" - steamers, mussels, chourico, corn, potatoes, onions, broth, and butter, plus the lobster.) Maybe it was the season (late March and still cold) - good but not great. The price was utterly fair, though. (My husband notes here that what they called (Portuguese) chourico seemed to him like kielbasa.) What *was* great was the Portugese Fish Chowder. ("Portugese style with shrimp, scallops, cod, and chourico.") We ordered a cup of that along with a cup of Rhode Island-style clam chowder (which we'd heard about but never had). WOW. That Fish Chowder was some of the best fish soup I've ever had anywhere, even compared to awesome Tom Kha Goong and Tom Yung Goong in excellent Thai restaurants on the West Coast.) The Rhode Island chowder was boring in comparison. Inspired by the soup, we took out an order of clam cakes and a kid-sized fried fish to go. Absolutely stunning, both hot right after we got them, and hours later ice cold in the hotel room for a lazy dinner. I used to dread fish sticks as a kid, because it meant "Mom doesn't love us tonight, it's frozen fish sticks in the oven instead of home cooking." My now 7-month old son is going to grow up eating the sort of fried fish that Anthony's serves and thinking, "My mommy loves me, because she fed me fried fish for dinner!" The breading is light but doesn't fall off, the french fries that come with it are crisp and meaty, and the fish is moist and tender. When it was cold, it was better than a lot of lobster and crab I've had. Had no idea what clam cakes were when we ordered them; they turned out to be fried bready (kind of like wheat-based hush puppies) dumplings with lots of meaty clam pieces and good seasoning. We both felt that the food was tasty enough without the extra, but the tartar sauce and spiced red sauce (it wasn't horseradish-based cocktail sauce, I have no idea still what it was other than yummy) were both really good. Tried out a Newport Storm beer - not necessarily worth driving out of your way for, but a nice hoppy accompaniment to the seafood. The hot tea was decent, lacking the usual American restaurant aftertaste of dirty coffee remains or tepid water. We'll definitely be back some day for more soup and fried fish. We'll probably even give the boiled dinner another try. I rated it "cheap" because there's really good stuff for not a lot of money. We splurged on lobster and *still* only spent a total of $50 (before tips) for two adults. You could make it a spendy place if you wanted, but the cost would all be in the food - and it would be worth it.

    I'm surprised i'd never been here before, since it is right by my (deceased) grandparents house. this is a local place, with a fish market on one side and a restaurant on the other. you order at the counter then sit. there is outdoor seating too. when we got there around 330 or 4pm on a monday, it was pretty empty so we got to sit right away. we all had bowls of clam chowder (about $4). it was fresh tasting, but could use some seasoning. we all added salt and that improved it. it was just a bit bland. we also each got a spicy stuffed quahog (about $2 i think) mmm those were the best thing. j also got clam cakes (4 for $2 added onto a bowl of soup). jay and j liked them so i think they were good, it was my first time trying a clam cake and they're just puffed fried dough balls, which i didnt like. service was friendly, everything was cheap. the only downside was the seasoning on the soup, so we really liked it. if you want a good, cheap, seafood meal, come here!! and its right next to newport too.

    I actually used Yelp to find this place and it did not disappoint. In fact, it was better than I expected! They make phenomenal Rhode Island chowder (no cream) and New England chowder (with the cream). They also had some of the best clamcakes I've ever tried and although I don't eat lobster rolls (because I don't like mayonnaise) the people I were with said they were the best rolls they had ever had. I can't wait to visit this place again but unfortunately I live 2000 miles away.

    Some of the best seafood in Newport (and this is a serious seafood town). Definitely not as upscale as some of the places that you'll find on America's Cup Boulevard, but the food is great and the prices are reasonable. I'm particularly a fan of the clam chowder and stuffed sole.

    Born and raised in the South on the water I need fresh seafood. Knowing that we were going to live in the North for 10 months our family was grateful to have found Anthony's. Generous portions of delicious seafood. I highly recommend the creamy New England Chowder too! Thanks ya'll!!!

  • Steven K.

    Unbelievable prices for fresh boiled lobster! My wife and I each had a 1 3/4 lb boiled lobster plus sides for $22.95 each. Absolutely tender, sweet and delicious. We also sampled the new england clam chowder. That's a real winner too. The surroundings are not ritzy, but focus on the seafood. Anthony's is great and probably the best deal you'll get in the Newport area!

    Seafood is the best I've had in Little Rhodey. The Thai calamari is a must, the baked scrod was perfect. I've heard awesome things about the Portuguese Fish Chowder, definitely getting it next time with fried clams. So far it sits comfortably above Flo's without the view.

    Anthony's fits my bill as a local resaturant with good food and great value. I liked it so much that i ate there twice in three days in Newport. And in many visits to Newport, I have come to like several restaurants there.

  • War Machine N.

    I had high expectations from everything I read and was excited to go. We had gone to Scales & Shells the night before and was expecting our Anthony's experience to be better (S & S was great). I got the clam chowder, 1 shrimp cocktailand lobster roll with ff and iced tea. The clam chowder was just okay. Lg chunks of potatoes and the soup was really really thick. The 1 shrimp cocktail was delicious b/c the cocktail sauce was one of the best I've ever had. The lobster roll didn't come with a lot of meat, the roll was huge and very bready and not buttered/grilled. The ff were good. Overall, it was just an okay roll. My boyfriend got the RI clam chowder which was delicious. The broth was peppery and yummy. I wish I had gotten that. He also got the clam cakes which was basically fried dough with 1 tiny piece of clam in it. He was really really disappointed and ended up leaving slightly hungry even after I shared my meal. He picked out the clams and left the dough. Cost: 1 lobster roll, 2 small chowders, 1 shrimp cocktail, clam cakes, 1 iced tea, 1 beer, tax and tip = $38 Ambiance: basically none. You order at a counter, get your own utensils, they give you a number and someone delivers your food. All in all, it's nothing to write home about. Everything on the menu looked deep fried. Go to S & S instead if you want a great seafood meal.

    Living in Newport for 10 weeks and went for lunch with the wife because she said she saw something about it on the Travel Channel. We really liked it and had a great time for lunch. The NE clam chowder was ok (I've had better), but the stuffed Quahog , the crab cakes I had and the swordfish sandwich my wife had were awesome. I wasn't a fan of swordfish until I tried and then stole my wife's sandwich. ****UPDATE, I went back recently, and the NE clam chowder was much better this time. Maybe it just depends on who's making it.

    Went on a rainy Saturday...the bf and I didn't wait long at all to place our orders nor receive our food. The lobster rolls were pretty darn meaty and tasty. The price associated with an authentic lobster roll was to be expected...worth the splurge on occasion.

  • Amanda D.

    Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend and I went down to Newport for the day and visited the Newport Vineyard and stopped in here for lunch first. It definietly did not disappoint. We both had soup to start. He had the clam chowder, while I had the Portugese Fish Chowder (much due to the reviews here). Fish Chowder was delicious, a little spicy with huge pieces of fish. Delicious. My boyfriend got the fried clam plate, which had the largest clams I had ever seen. Absolutely delicious. I got the salmwhich (salmon sandwich with pesto and mozzarella). Salmon was so moist and perfect. the only problem is you will leave here SO FULL! If you are going to visit the Newport Vineyard after definietly take some time to digest, but you will not regret going here!

  • Nick S.

    Went here without even realizing it was on DDD, even though I had seen the episode a few weeks before. The line was backed almost out the door, but their system of ordering first, then finding seating seems to work well enough. One of the sons of the owner was directing traffic to seat people accordingly. It's a tad pricey, but the portions are large for what they give you! The clam chowder (white, $3.95 for a cup) was probably the best I've ever had. Well developed flavor, and ridiculously thick (the way I like it). There were tons of clams and potatoes mixed in with the delicious broth, which was just the right consistency. Also got the fish tacos ($9.95), which comes with 2. The tacos were good, but even better with the spicy mayo they serve on the side. Fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, can't ask for better with fried fish. GF got the lobster roll (market price, $18.50 on this day) which I had a bite of. It was better than most I've had, but I think the portion could have been a bit larger. This place was crazy busy yet still served great quality and delicious food, which was a treat. If I lived near here I would definitely come here whenever I got a hankering for seafood. Also very cool they sell fresh seafood on the left and have a restaurant on the right. Will definitely stop in if I'm in the area again.

  • Van O.

    Went there and ordered 4 items. Spicey Portuguese Fish Chowder, Lobster roll, Kung Pao Calimari, and Fish Taco. The Fish Chowder is OMG good! I'm not kidding... for 5 dollars you get a cup of seafood goodness all packed into a savory creamy chowder. The Calimari was a good spin the the traditional Calimari. The Lobster roll was very fresh but lacked a bit of flavor. I didn't get enough if any mayo on mine. I guess cooks must have forgot. But the lobster meat was definitely fresh. And the fish taco was another eh... The filet was fresh but lacked flavor. I would definitely go back for the fish stew! It's that good!

    Best place ever for a lobster meal, steamers, and clam chowder. My husband took me here for our first date 10 years ago. We recently went back for lunch to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. Whenever we visit Newport, we always come here. Same order all the time. The food is fresh and delicious. There is limited seating, but we never seem to have a problem. Couple of days ago, we took our SF friends here for lunch and they were really impressed. I will definitely come here again.

  • J P.

    Great thing is they have 4 different types of chowder and u can sample before u buy. I tried the Rhode Island, Portuguese, & new england. My fav was Portuguese . The New England was bland and reminded me of Campbell's. The Rhode Island is very particular for certain people. I didn't mind it, but I didn't love it. The lobster roll is definitely worth the stop. It was really good and pretty big for a lobster roll. It was light clean and fresh. I only wish they left the meat in chunks and not personally cut it in small pieces. Lobster roll came with fries lemon coleslaw and pickle. Coleslaw was bland, fries were just ok. Lemon and pickle helped balance the lobster roll, glad they were included.

  • JJ L.

    Started out with a Newport Storm Hurricane Amber Ale. Followed by NE Clam Chowder, fried bay scallops & house salad. Excellent, couldn't finish fries or salad. The cod fish & chips were good, according to my two friends. The stuffed quahog clam wasn't as warmly received. lots of fresh food at a good price.

  • Stewina S.

    YES! Excellent. We tried the fish chowder, kung pao calamari, lobster roll, and fried clam strips. The fish chowder was amazing...almost like a bisque. The kung pao calamari was different. It was tangy and delicious. Just a note -it has peanuts in it (allergy alert). The lobster roll was made with mayo and celery. I usually only order rolls with the buttered lobster, but I read it was really good so I gave it a shot. I am glad that I did. YUM. The fried clam strips were light and tasty. Everything arrived at the table at the proper temperature and service was great. Nice job.

    Had to get some seafood before I left the ocean state and found this place on Yelp. Only regret that I didn't get to try more dishes (i.e. lobster roll.) Will be back for that. This is my kinda place - a little on the divey side, no bs, just good food. Not trendy, off the beaten path, AND worth the trip. oysters on the half shell - old school with cocktail sauce and lemon were YUMMY! an order of small fried shrimp are a generous portion and come with some kick-ass french fries. will be back when I'm in the Newport area.

  • Sam H.

    All aboard! This place is terrific. Although we were staying in Newport, we took the drive to eat here and it was well worth the drive. We ordered the Portugese Fish Chowder, lobster roll and fish tacos. The fish chowder was filled with generous portions of fish and had a little spicy kick to it. It was creamy and wonderful. The fish tacos were huge and flavorful. If you are thinking about the fish tacos you usually get (what I mean is small and dainty), you will be pleasantly surprised at the size and taste of these babies. Now to the $18.50 lobster roll. $18.50? Yes and it's worth every penny. Don't be surprised about eating this off a hot dog bun. This roll is packed with PLENTY of fresh lobster. What I also appreciated was the fact that this roll was not doused in mayo. Anthony's picks great chunks of lobster and lets the meat do the talking. It was one heavenly bite after another. Lastly, while we were waiting for our food, I was observing the staff. They were friendly and kept the place very clean. I spoke with the owner at the end of our dinner and complimented him on running a tight ship. The food, service and atmosphere was excellent. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you want to get great seafood for a reasonable price.

    Great place, comparable to beach city restaurants like the Redondo beach pier seafood market and Neptunes in Malibu California, except fresher than Redondo and Neptunes, not so crowded, much friendlier and not overpriced. The quality is great, the food is fresh, properly cooked and delicious. The lobster was the best I ever had and I appreciated having the head intact so I could enjoy the tomalley. They also reserve the seafood broth and serve it on the side with melted butter and lemon. A clever "how to eat lobster" and "lobster facts" placemat was provided and service was stellar. The food came out fast. They had delicious local blueberry beer which paired well with the seafood as well. Overall a great experience.

  • Lauretta L.

    After dutifully doing my Yelp research, we got a bowl of the Portuguese Seafood Chowder and a lobster roll. The Chowder was perfectly creamy and just mildly spicy. I would have preferred more seafood, but for $5, it was a decent amount of crab, shrimp, and maybe lobster(?). The lobster in the roll comes cold but the bun is grilled, so it's an interesting combination of a cold and hot roll. The amount of lobster was probably an entire medium sized one on a huge bun. The fries are also thick and delicious - we were both stuffed! I highly recommend this joint if you want a casual and leisurely meal aka an escape from the tourist filled wharf.

  • SD L.

    Great spot off the tourist track. Very casual - order at the counter, which is at the end of a seafood counter that obviously serves local folks.

    Hit Anthony's on way out of Newport. Fantastic family meal. While upstairs at Flo's is still my "happy place" to relax and tie a load on while in Newport vicinity, for a solid seafood meal Anthony's is lights out... Portuguese fish chowder, clam chowder, lobster roll, fried clams, Kung Pao calimari all fantastic as reported. I live on Long island, NY. Why someone can't figure this recipe for fantastic unpretentious seafood out by me, I do not know. Be back at least once everytime I am in town, no question. .

    Three words: Portuguese Fish Chowder! It's a bowl of heavenly and fancy clam chowder! It's spicy, creamy, filled with chunks of fish, seafood and potatoes. Make sure you save some room for a cup of this secret gem! I regret that I only ordered a cup and not a bowl! : ( We also ordered fish tacos (fried fish versus the traditional kind but very tasty!), Shore Dinner (a huge bowl of steamers, mussels, corn and potatoes), baked scrod (simple but baked with bread crumbs. It's a light delight if you want something less heavy because it is NOT drenched in butter, I like). Make sure you stop by this little place when you are in the area! Highly recommended!

    In town for just a day, my mom and I were looking for good New England seafood and we found it. Delicious food, great service, moderately priced and unpretentious. I -highly- recommend the Portuguese seafood chowder.

    Excellent food, very reasonable prices, very competent staff. The food is pretty simple, and much of it is fried, but what do you expect?

    Had one of the top 5 seafood dinners of my life here tonight. We shared the steamers app - tender, sweet; Kung pow calamari - crispy, tender (better than Giacomo's :-) and the fishermans platter -cooked perfectly! We also shared a 2# lobster - it was so sweet and tasty. Seriously folks, if you are looking for super tasty seafood in a casual atmosphere, you gotta go to Anthony's!

    I tried the stuffies and fish and chips. I ordered them both spicy. They were both absolutely delicious. The fish flaked apart as you ate it and the Cajun crust was great.

    This might be the best seafood restaurant in Newport/Middletown area in summer. Steamers and little necks are quite good. They also provide lobster, it's delicious too and the price is much cheaper than any other restaurants in Newport.

    Short and sweet review: The salmwich was melt-in-your-mouth fantastic without any creamy sauce to ruin it. The clam chowder should come with a heart monitor...very rich but very delicious. This is a very casual-dress place for real seafood lovers. And the service was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Go here to eat wonderful seafood if atmosphere is not your numero uno priority. The food is better than touristy Newport at half the price.

    I really don't understand why this place gets such good reviews. I had the worst fish tacos I've ever eaten (bland and New England'd) and the kung pao calamari. It was a pathetic squid that I ate. The biggest piece was as round as my wedding ring...and not much of it. Head south for real seafood...and tacos.

    It was pretty hot out today, so we went in search of a place with air-conditioning and that accepted credit cards (long story). We saw Anthony's Seafood on our car navigation system and thought it would be part of the Anthony's chain that's in San Diego and other places. Nope. NOT the same Anthony's. This was not the nice sit-down restaurant we were expecting. This was a small place where you place your order at the counter and then have a seat to wait for your food to come out. Also, it is NOT air conditioned. Even so, they took credit cards and we were starving, so we ate. Food was pretty good - very fresh. I had the Grilled Salmwich and a cup of NE clam chowder. The chowder was AWESOME. The Salmwich tasted a little fishy for my taste / not what I'm used to for salmon, but it was pretty good. I also tried one of the local Newport "Blueberry" beers, and that was EXCELLENT. Atmosphere is meh. It's not fancy. It was hot as heck. I was sweating profusely by the time we finished eating and left. Actually, I didn't bother to finish eating - I was too hot (I'm normally a clean-my-plate type of guy). Service was friendly and professional. Prices were reasonable.

    Stopped by to try this place because of all the fabulous Yelp reviews and I was not disappointed. Ordered a cup of NE clam chowder and the fish (flounder) and chips. The chowder was creamy and tasty, with just the right balance of clams to other stuff. The fish and chips was a large serving of deliciousness, the three pieces of fish being perfectly battered and the fries hot and crispy. The meal wasn't exactly inexpensive, $13 and change, which is a bit more than I usually spend on lunch, but given the amount of food, I really can't complain. Perhaps I'll order something smaller next time I go there for lunch so I feel so stuffed either :) I'm kind of upset that I haven't tried this place sooner. I've been working in Newport for just over a year and drove past this place at least once a week. In a few weeks I'll be working in Wakefield so I won't have the easy excuse anymore. Boo!

    OMGOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Loved it! We first heard of Anthony's on the food network. We visited Newport for the first time in August. On our way out of town to Maine we made a point of finding Anthony's.....boy are we glad we did! Excellent seafood (chowder, fisherman's platter). We even told several people in Maine about it. Excellent service, perfect weather to sit outside. WE'LL BE BACK!

  • Dev C.

    Seafood is fresh, but preparation was simple and sometimes lacking flavor / complexity. We had the 2 lbs lobster ($40) - lots of meat and perfectly steamed. The Portuguese Fish Chowder ($3 small, $6 bowl) was a spicier and less creamy take on New England Clam chowder - a unique experience. The lobster roll ($20) and swordfish ($11) were well prepared, but lacking in seasoning and flavor. They also serve wine ($12) and beer to be consumed on premises. Service is good - the setup more casual than we expected with ordering at the counter and seating at a picnic table outside, but highly efficient and well run.

    Been going to Newport all my life and tried Anthony's for the first time this past week. Oh wait.. this place is so GOOD. We went to Flo's only to find a line backed up to the parking lot and decided to venture on into Middletown. Wow, we were blown away. Portuguese Chowder, Fish and Chips, Fish Tacos, Fried Clam Bellies, Sweet Corn and two Newport Storms to wash it down. Crap, it was good. Pretty cool to find a great looking fish market attached. Outdoor seating also. Don't go expecting a luxury dining experience. Order at the counter, get a number and the servers bring out the food. Great place for kids, plenty big for strollers to navigate.

    Get the Portugese chowder! I definitely recommend it. For you newbies to Anthony's, if you are dining there, order your food first at the register then go find a place to sit.

    I hate to go against all of the wonderful reviews of fours and fives. Three of us tried several starters and main dishes over two evenings. Unfortunately, quality of dishes were inconsistent. We tried New England Clam Chowder and Portugese Fish Chowder and they were both quite good. We tried the Kung Pao Calamari and Stuffed Quahog (Stuffie) on the first night. They were just okay. Kung Pao was just a kind of sweet chili sauce with a bunch of roasted peanuts on fried calamari. Not quite chinese, not quite western. Stuffie was very doughy and we were searching for bits of clams and hardly found any. The baked seafood Nantucket was excellent, but the stuffed shrimps were four shrimps with a bunch of the doughy stuffing attached. No special taste or flavor. Thinking we must have ordered the wrong things we went back on a second night. We all had Clam Chowder and it was very fine. We tried two pounds of Steamers. The clams came out barely warm and was so-so in flavor, we wonder if they were really fresh at all. The grilled Swordfish came out dry and over cooked. We had the baked Seafood Nantucket again and it was excellent again. In summary, inconsistent.

    This place is the real deal when it comes to fresh no fuss seafood. The food was phenomenal, one of the best meals we had on vacation! I had the RI chowder and steamers. The soup was so flavorful, it left me with wanting more. The steamers hit the spot and were a nice treat. My husband had the fisherman's platter, said it was the best he has ever had. The fried food was cooked to perfection without too much batter. When we are back in the area we will be stopping by Anthony's again and trying some more things off the menu.

    Best basic seafood in the area. Fresh fish pretty stuff in the tables are getting sticky. is plenty of parking lot and walking to the fish market is a great way to start a meal. if you're not looking for linen tablecloths check this place out.

    Spent the afternoon at the mansions in Newport and asked a woman in the gift shop where to go for fish and chips. She told us she liked Anthony's and that most of the locals came here also. She said not to expect much as far as ambiance but that they had booths to sit at but the seafood was great. We were doing a late lunch/ early dinner so arrived around 4 pm on Black Friday. There was no line and our order was taken promptly. I ordered the New England clam chowder and the fish and chips (cod). The chowder was excellent. A traditionalist may scoff at the dill that was in the chowder but it really added a nice flavor. The fish was very fresh tasting and lightly breaded and the fries were cooked to perfection. Will definitely come back! BTW the fish and chips was only $9.95 and you got two good size pieces of fish, you really can't go wrong here.

  • Michael M.

    Wow! Wow! That is just the beginning of the review. This place is simply amazing. I ordered a 1 3/4 lb Lobster with Fries and Cole Slaw and it cost me $18.95. And add to it that it was the best Lobster I ever ate. Simply the best seafood I have ever eaten and I visit seafood restaurants often. You owe it to yourself to go there and try their food. I have also tried the New England Clam, Crab Cakes and Clam Cakes and all were good. What the place lacks in decor it makes up in the food. Amazing place!!!

    My family and I moved to Newport a year ago and have visted Anthony's several times. The food is outstanding, especially the Portuguese Clam Chowder. However, I'm a bit disappointed in the pricing. A lot of their seafood is is based on the market price, so it's consistantly changing. We recently went to Anthony's and ordered a lobster roll which cost $25. Although the lobster roll was very good, it certainly was not worth $25. You can go up the street to Easton's Point (where the pricing never changes) and get an even delicous roll for $18. Not sure we will ever go back??

  • Tony L.

    This has got to be the best spot for seafood in town. The Portuguese fish chowder was excellent. The fried codfish was the best i've ever had, tasted fresh and the meat was flaky. Had the 2lb steamers and it was all good. Fried whole belly clams were great. If you just want good seafood, this has to be the place to go because there is no ambiance and it's an order at the counter deal.

    On our first weekend getaway to Newport, we had to stop off somewhere to get some seafood. Doing our research before we left home from NY, we knew this was a stop we had to make before leaving and we were not disappointed! We stepped in through the market to see all the fresh seafood lined up ready for purchase. It would have been great to buy some of my own to cook but being far from home, we sat down to eat in the restaurant. The restaurant is a more cafeteria style instead of dining in as there no wait staff other than the ones to bring you your food after you pay up front first. Looking through all the super helpful Yelp reviews, we settled on the Kung Pao calamari, cup of portuguese fish chowder and stuffie to start. Figuring it was enough for us, we topped it off with a lobster roll to split. The calamari was fried and seasoned well with a nice chili sauce with a small kick of heat. Unfortunately we weren't too impressed with the stuffie as it was mostly stuffing and we couldn't noticeably taste the clams and other ingredients. We started and finished the fish chowder before the rest of our food came because it was just that amazing. We were floored by how tasty it was and sadly our cup was empty before we knew it. If we come back, we'll definitely need to either split a bowl or get our own servings so we don't have to fight. Finally to the main attraction, the Lobster roll. We've had lobster rolls in the past and almost every time, our biggest complaint was that the price just wasn't worth it. This was the first time we had a lobster roll and walked away saying it deserved every penny. The chunks of lobster were HUGE and both of us having filled up on our appetizers, realized the roll was more than we could handle. Each eating only a half of the sandwich, we were stuffed and had to be rolled out to the car. We were trying to figure out how big of a lobster or how many tails they would have to chop up to just to make our sandwich! All in all, totally worth the trip and lucky for us wasn't even that far from our hotel since we stayed outside of Newport over in Middletown. Would highly recommend the food to all our friends.

    From Alaska where we are all about fresh seafood at least 6 months out of the year. . Was expecting a much fresher clam/scallops seafood experience. Lacking in all aspects. Shrimp was ok, chowder was disappointing and scallops were unflavored even if you striped the bland breaking off

  • Thompson L.

    Thank you Yelp. The reviews are spot on, the Portuguese Fish Chowder is a MUST TRY. It's not your typical chowder.. packed with seafood (fish, large scallops, clams, shrimp) and potatoes.. it's also got that Portugese spice to it. Skip the cup, get the bowl! The Fisherman's Platter is probably your next best bet. At $19.99 you get fried cod (or flounder), fried shrimps, whole belly clams, fried scallops, fried calamari and fries. Huge platter and let me stress how fresh the seafood was! (It s connected to its own local fish market) The Lobster roll was spensy @ $18 but the quality is there. Chunks of lobster, large toasted new england roll with a large leaf of lettuce. It's comparable to the Red Hook Lobster Pound lobster roll in Brooklyn, NY. Great to try if you're in the mood for it but I place it 3rd on the menu for value.

    We wanted our last lunch in Newport to be a casual "clam shack"/cheap eats/water view experience. Asking around, no one had any real suggestions and when I saw Flo's Clam Shack on our way to the beach I was told that the food wasn't that great. Our surfing instructor said that where the locals go is Anthony's Seafood restaurant, half seafood store, half restaurant. So glad we went. Ambience is.. well, a fish store when you first walk in. Walk to the right, order your food, and sit down at one of the plastic booths with your plastic utensils. Wait for your food to be called or brought to you. NOT FANCY at all, but we weren't looking for that. Stuffies: basically, baked stuffed clams on steroids. Instead of traditional bread crumbs, they actually break off small pieces of bread by hand, mix with lots of chopped clams and some seasonings, then pile it HIGH back into the shell. It really does stuff you, and is simple, basic fare. Fish taco: this isn't your average taco! This is a battered and fried filet (sole?) that is put into a burrito-sized tortilla along with some white cheese, and black bean salsa, then folded over and served with sour cream, guac and fries. it's huge (tacos are small). Fish was fresh. Crab cakes: even though the crab was shredded (i like just lump meat that falls apart when you just look at it!), these were delicious! Lots of spices (not hot) and shredded crab, not too much bread. Would definitely recommend them. Lobster roll: nice large, fresh chunks of lobster claw & tail meat mixed with a little mayo on buttered & grilled white bread. Delicious!! Swordfish burger: super moist and tasty swordfish thick fllet on a hamburger bun with cheese and pesto sauce - very good! Recommended! Oysters and clams: i don't eat these, but my other 3 dining companions were oohing and ahhing over how fresh and tasty these were, and we live near fresh seafood at home, so that must mean something! We heard you can also get this to go and find a place to picnic and eat it if it's a nice day out (they also have 2 tables outside). We recommend!!

    The seafood isn't really dressed up or made fancy. You basically get what you order, no frills. But what it lacks in presentation, they make up in taste. I can say that you can go down that menu and find something you'll like and not regret ordering it. The lobster roll seems to be my fall-back favorite, but the fish taco is a close second. Add some chowder to your meal and you'll be good to go. I like the fact that it's a little bit out of the way, it doesn't have a stuffy vibe like some of the other restaurants in Newport, which isn't a bad thing. Sometimes you just want stuff your face and loosen up the belt. Every time I'm on vacation here, I make it my business to get something from here at least once and more often if I'm up to it, which I usually am.

    We drove down to Rhode Island, to look at the views, and of course to eat some delicious food. Victor had been to this place before and said it was really good, so of course I was down to try it. We were really hungry, so we got tons of food :) Clam Cakes (Rhode Island local food) - interesting. Not exactly my favorite. Rhode Island Clam Chowder and Portuguese Fish Chowder - OMG Portuguese Chowder was SUPER good... a little spicy, but so worth the burn My first real lobster roll - soooooo goood Whole Belly Fried Clams - yumyumyum!! I would go back to this place if I was in the area again.. too bad there's nothing like it here on the West Coast.

    Best (and largest) lobster roll I have ever had. Amazing. We went here for lunch, and I was throughly impressed by the whole place. My fiancee also loved her boiled lobster, and we will definitely come back if we're in the area. It was a little pricey, but that is to be expected. I didn't know until getting there that it was on DD&D's, but it definitely seems like something Guy Fieri would enjoy. We went on a Sunday for a late lunch, and it was still fairly busy (around 2:30 or 3:00). Definitely worth checking out!

  • Cate M.

    Really good food, very reasonable prices. As a native Rhode Islander, I know good chowder, and this was pretty good. The clam cakes weren't bad either. Is there better? Yep, absolutely, though this will definitely do. It's the best I've found in the Newport area so far.

    Fresh catch city. Endless options and combos. Family style restaurant is warm and inviting. The seafood was a bit too greasy in my book, though, to the point of diminishing some of the fresh goodness. Prices were reasonable, though, and service fluid. Would definitely revisit.

    I had to eat here repeatedly while in Newport. I became addicted to the Kung Pao Calamari. Everything we tried was really good. Now this is not a fancy place at all it is a casual easy place to get tasty seafood in a homey, family like atmosphere. I wish they were here on Coronado Island where I live, they would be one of my faves!!!

  • Jeremy H.

    Incredibly overrated. I should have known when I found out that Guy Fieri had stopped by, but I went anyway. The famous Stuffie is not worth the calories. The spicy mush baked into a clam shell has no clam pieces and no clam flavor. It is chorizo baked into Stovestop Stuffing. My girlfriend's grilled tuna steak salad was pedestrian. The tuna steak was cooked just fine, but it was nothing special. (If you like a piece of fish atop salad greens, this is for you.) My lobster roll wasn't worth the 4 hr drive. I am a huuuuuge lobster fan. I've eaten lobster up and down the eastern seaboard, mostly in Maine and Cape Cod, and this lobster had no flavor. The piece of lettuce lining the buttered roll was blehhh. Don't blow $18 on it. I'll say this -- the fresh fish in the retail fish shop was beautiful. I wish I had a grill for the gorgeous Koho salmon. If you have the ability to cook, this is a great place to pick up provisions.

  • Richard L.

    Good variety of seafood and options. The prices are decent and they have liquor too. It's kind of family picnic style seating so its not your candlelight dinner place but a good venue for some fresh seafood. They have the fried seafood options, which I'm not a fan of, but they also have grilled swordfish salad and that is a great dish. It's a definite place to check out if you're trying to find a good Narrangesett Bay tea seafood restaurant. It'll be busy too, but they have a very functional ordering style where you order and pay as you enter the dining room area. Try the New England chowder, but I would avoid the other style chowders.

    I've been searching for some authentic local cuisine and I think I've found my new favorite. A car load of us drove down on a Friday night for some grub and brilliantly landed in the door at about 7:45 pm. 15 minutes before they close. Having been a waiter at one point in my starving arteest career I realized I had become the person who once made my life a living hell. First off the gentleman behind the raw bar was extremely nice and gave one of my travel companions a crash course on stuffies. We ordered our food at the counter and planted ourselves at a booth. The food came in about 10 to 15 minutes and was hot and amazing. I got a hot stuffie as an appetizer and am now completely in love with this little creation. I really could have eaten 4 of them as a meal and been quite content. I ordered the Lobstah roll which was extremely fresh and had a ton of lobster on it and the mayo ratio was was perfect for me. The side of slaw was also great and was a nice fresh palate cleanser. For a drink I had a Lobster Ale which was great as well. My companions got a cajun salmon dinner, fish and chips, NE clam chowda, and crab cakes. The crab cakes were bar none the best I've ever had. I can't wait to return for more stuffies and new treats. Well worth the drive from Providence. We will return. Kudo's to the staff who was quite nice in leu of our late arrival.

  • Andrea W.

    This place is heaven on earth! We found it by happy accident on our recent visit to the East Coast, after a miserable and failed daytrip to Newport. We didn't know that there would be a big boat show and that parking would be impossible to find. Well, screw those over-priced Newport joints! The raw clams and oysters were amazing, and so inexpensive! Around San Francisco, we're used to paying close to $2 apiece (if not more) at most quality restaurants. The little gems at Anthony's rival the best of them. A dozen little neck clams can be had for only $8! Our group slurped up 4 dozen clams, and a dozen of raw oysters to boot. They were plump, fresh, sweet, and very clean and completely free of any gritty stuff. We couldn't get enough. The day's special: two lobsters for $22 with corn on the cob - we couldn't believe our eyes. We also ordered the Portuguese fish chowder, the lobster roll, fried clams...everything was delicious. We were absolutely giddy from the meal, and still continue to talk about it. If only I didn't live 3,000 miles away. ::weeping::

  • Kelli P.

    This was my first time eating here and I was fairly satisfied! It is apparently very popular since parking was horrendous! They do offer plenty of parking, but the place fills up fast and no wonder because what they have to offer is worth parking 3 parking lots down! It is the kind of place where you walk in, stand in line, order what you want from a counter and then find a seat and wait for it to be brought to you. Usually I am not a fan of these types of places because frankly, I like to be served, but this was not bad at all. I was here with a rather large group, but the line still moved pretty fast. We sat outside so we could have more room and that was really nice. They have nice picnic tables set up that are clean and spacious! The Kung-Pai Calamari was the best calamari I have had since moving to Newport. It was sweet, but had just enough spice to satisfy my spice-craved palate. I then had the whole belly fried clams and they were pretty good, but I have had better. The prices are all at market prices and fair enough I suppose. I always enjoy places that top their fantastic-ness off with great prices, but maybe this place will do that eventually. If you enjoy a good seafood meal, or plan on making some sort of seafood dish at home (they do sell salmon fillets and all sorts of other fish and shell fish to take home and cook yourself) then you should check this place out. It's definitely not a let down.

    My husband spent 10 weeks in training at Naval Station Newport and EVERY time I came to visit, we went to Anthony's. The last weekend I was up there, we went two nights in a row. I am a seafood fanatic, someone who despite limiting animal protein intake on a regular basis, would eat from the sea at every meal if I had a source as fresh as Anthony's. No frills, very cozy. Friendly high school wait staff. The guys behind the seafood counter are quite knowledgeable! This place is the equivalent of the local, independently owned Red Lobster. Do eat: Oysters (unreal) Stuffies (best ever) Whole lobsters (the smaller ones were more tender) The Rhode Island Clam Chowder (broth not cream based) The fish sandwich+add cheese Fried shrimp Homestyle potatoes Skip: Corn (mushy) Fish taco (bland) We plan to vacation in Rhode Island next summer. Goodness knows we'll be eating from Anthony's often. So amazing!

  • Matt H.

    Anthony's is a great place for a real seafood meal. It has a walkin counter where you place your order. You then sit down and wait for the meal to be delivered. I was there around 2pm and it was not busy but there were a good amount of people considering the time. The lobster roll was very good and the fries were cooked to a crisp. The facility was very clean. Anthony's provides hope to a world that is filled with snotty, overpriced, and touristy seafood restaurants in the Newport area.

    Absolute Lobster heaven! And i learned why. The guy behind the seafood counter told me why the lobster tastes so good and sweet and fresh there even though you can get lobster in any restaurant. Here is why. Lobsters stay in tanks until they are ready to cook. Live lobster you say? Well yes but he has been in that tank a month maybe. They starve and live off their own fat and lose flavor because of that. Here at Anthonys they get them in fresh every few days , and fresh means they were walking around the ocean floor earlier in the week eating what lobsters eat. And they are cooked to perfection. Also the whole belly clams were out of this world. The best deal is the 1 3/4 lbs lobster platter, comes with steamers, mussels and potatos and chourizo. This is why you go to Anthonys. The portaguese chowder was also quite good but skip most everything else. Also there is no waiter service, and they close at 9 pm, but the lobster is some of the best anywhere!!!!!

  • Jake F.

    I saw this place on DDD. After two visits, I remain satisfied but not terribly impressed. The food is fresh and good but not fantastic. The clam chowder was average, tuna steaks weren't cooked very well, and the Kung Pao Calamari, though original, wasn't anything special. The highlight for me was the fried scallops. Every once in awhile, I am a sucker for fried seafood and this restaurant does a decent job. If you are looking for fresh seafood at an unbelievable price, this is the place to go! If you are looking for flavors expertly blended and unique, look elsewhere.

    Amazing in a word. They have the best lobster roll in the Newport area for sure. This is not a sit down place, its a "to go" place, or sit at a picnic table outside. You do not come for ambiance, you come for fairly priced great food, its just that simple. The crab cakes are delicious as well. Worth the trip, get out of tourist land and treat yourself to something fantastic.

    Terrific place for seafood. Apparently, a lot of locals go there. Prices were reasonable. We stuck to the most popular menu items mentioned in the reviews here: lobster roll, Portugese fish chowder, mussels w/ red sauce and crab cakes. All the dishes were delicious. When you get there, you place your order and pay at the cashier before being seated. The wait staff then brings you the food. My only complaint is the decor. It looks dated and is in desparate need of a renovation.

    Me: "hey guys that place is packing um in, let's check it out" Them" "i got a spot further up the road" me: "ok" turned out the spot up the road (Flo's) had the worst parking lot known to sight/tourists. As I waited, a lady in a minivan yells out "check out anthonys, I like it much better" So i turn around and low and behold anthonys turns out to be the same spot i sighted. Anthonys is a great seafood casual spot. Its no frills, as you order at the counter and then it's brought out to your table. We waited for a minute before a nice picnic bench outside cleared. It was a beautiful day and it got even better once my ginormous fried clams were served. I opted for the whole belly clams and there was nothing to regret. french fries were crispy and the tartAHHH sauce money. The gf had the fish and chips and they were awesome. My friend ordered clam cakes and these things were freaks of nature. They were fried balls of batter heaven with clams tucked in the middle. I think what i liked most about this place was it was off the newport beaten path and that adds instant points when im vacationing.

    Reasonably priced lobster. Great Portuguese fish stew. Almost like cafeteria style, walk in order sit down and they bring it to you. The lobster (whole, and roll) was very nicely done. The dressing on the roll had a soft flavor as to not overpower the lobster. It is located far enough from the water to cut down on the mobs of tourists. The portions are big enough and the taste is great. I think I found my new favorite place to eat when I am in town.

    So we read great things about this place! They were almost all wrong- this place has horrible fried seafood, the fish tacos were bland at that. The chowder was good we got excited when we had the fish chowder. Thinking wow this is going to be great! It went down hill fast. Service was very nice people were friendly but the food sucked! Big time just pass this place buy and go any place else. I had the fried seafood platter and my wife and I compared it to Taste o sea frozen tv dinners. We blew 54.00 dollars for two kids and two adults,the stuffed clams were stuffed with wonder bread it was gross. Sorry not my style to complain but save your hard earned dough!

    Oh, how I wish I were still hungry so that I could order more!! I'm only here in Newport for one night on business and I was so disappointed to find out that Flo's was closed, as I heard alot of rave reviews and was excited to be in the area to try it. My super friendly cabbie insisted that I try Anthony's and I now think that he's my foodie guardian angel. I tried RI clam chowder for the first time and I'm glad I opted for it instead of the cream based one. I also got a mild stuffie bc I had no clue what it was, but kept reading the good reviews on it. It was a pleasant first, though I haven't tried anything like it to compare it to. I could really appreciate the fact that it had a ton of complimenting elements. I also got the small portion of the whole belly clams. Wowza. First of all, if I got the "small", I don't want to see what their "large" portion size is. The clams were very plump and fresh--fried perfectly, without excess breading. As I am actually still sitting in my booth while I write this, I wish that I had room for this lobster roll that all you yelpers are raving about. I'm also considering ordering some raw delights as well. Who knows? Maybe I'll risk the explosion of my stomach for the sake of excellent seafood! ;-)

    If there was a title I'd like to have, it'd be "Lobster Roll Connoisseur." * The lobster MUST NOT be overly-mayo'd. The mayo has to lightly coat the claw meat. Think barely there. Really, the mayo's only use should be to help stick the lobster pieces together and to add a touch of wet to the roll. There should be chopped celery in the mayo. * The lobster meat must be FRESH, SWEET, and CRISP! Lobster meat to bun ration should be 3:1. There should be at least 5 claws, mixed in with some succulent tail meat. * The roll should be lightly toasted, warm, and buttery. Texas toast works well. * The lettuce should be green-leaf and crunchy not cut up. * A wedge of lemon should be squeezed over the meat. Anthony's roll was all of the above and more. Their kung-pao calamari was unique and very good! Their clam strips were not overly-breaded, the clams were sweet, chewy, and tasted fresh. Their clam chowder was creamy, well-seasoned, but needed more clams. Newport blueberry beer tasted like pie. Tried the Rhode Island specialty: stuffed quahog (a clam shell stuffed with clams, chorizo, peppers, onions, and spices). It was the only meh thing. Way too much breading. It tasted like day-old bread. Barely there seafood. All in all, a fantastic, non-touristy seafood market! Chow here before doing the lovely Cliff Walk and don't forget to visit the GORGEOUS, monumental Breakers mansion.

    Best seafood ever! Our two toddlers loved every bite! Our son actually stuffed himself that he had a belly ache for an hour later. Wished we lived closer to enjoy this restaurant. The Portuguese fish chowder and albacore was amazing!! Highly recommend!

    When I was a kid, Anthony's was a seafood market on one of the wharves off Thames Street. Now it's a market and restaurant in Middletown. The seafood is very fresh. We had stuffies, clear chowder, Portuguese chowder, calamari, mussels, steamers, lobster, and scallops romano. Outstanding!

    Truly awesome seafood dinner. My boyfriend and I had listed on our itinerary Anthony's and Flo's Clam Shack as dinner options after a late afternoon at First Beach. Since Flo's is right next to the beach, we decided to check that out first. After circling around Flo's for about 10 min., and seeing that the cars parked in the full tiny lot weren't going to leave anytime soon, we gave up and drove down to Anthony's. Wow, were we glad we did. From the outside, Anthony's doesn't look like anything special. It doesn't have a nice seaside view like Flo's did. But who really cares? You go to a restaurant to eat, right? And the parking lot here is huge compared to Flo's. We knew we made the right choice when we were greeted by a line at the door. The restaurant is sit-down, but you place your order and pay before claiming a table. After a few minutes reviewing the extensive menu, I decided on the fish (cod) and chips, and my boyfriend ordered the fish taco. We also got a cup of New England Clam Chowder to share and a bottle of the Lobster Ale. While we were waiting in line, we salivated at the items available for sale in the adjacent fish market, also run by Anthony's; their stuffies and crab cakes looked absolutely amazing. The chowder was delicious - great consistency, lots of clam meat, and huge chunks of potato; we regretted not getting the bowl. The cod in my fish and chips was so flaky, and the fried batter had a great crunch to it. The fish taco was nothing like any other fish taco I've seen before. First, it had huge chunks of flounder in it...definitely not the crap you get at places like Baja Fresh. It came in a burrito-sized tortilla, so it was massive, and it was filled with this black bean salsa that truly made the dish, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and even a hard taco shell for texture. Both of our entrees were also complemented with this awesome cole slaw. And when I say it's awesome, you know it's pretty damn good b/c cole slaw is one of the few foods I refuse to eat! I know based on the reviews here, lobster is the way to go at Anthony's. We were trying to budget, though, and while I was really craving a lobster roll, I didn't want to fork over $17.50 for one (though I'm sure it was worth every penny). But I'm very happy to say that the non-lobster items we tried were amazing, filling, and totally worth it for only $8.95 each. Definitely returning here the next time I'm in Newport!

    large portions at reasonable prices. started off with a cup of chowder, had the kung pao calamari, whole belly fried clams and fried sea scallops. definately needed a few to go boxes. also loved the fruit stand in the parking lot. the woman working it was a sweetheart.

    THE place for seafood - it's a fish market and restaurant and take-out place combined. They have EVERYTHING! Super fresh, super good. Sometimes so crowded in summer they shut down the take out! Read the whole giant menu before you decide. "Clam cakes" means clam fritters. Enjoy!

  • Steven P.

    When I'm on-island, Anthony's is the only place I go for fresh seafood. The fish market has an excellent selection from both local and distant waters. On my recent visit, I saw wild Pacific salmon, farmed Atlantic salmon, cod, haddock, flounder, sole, striped bass, bluefish, swordfish, and mako shark, to name a few. For shellfish, they typically have shrimp in a variety of sizes, scallops, soft-shell and hard-shell clams, oysters, and lobsters. Their seafood is exceptionally fresh and reasonably priced. If you don't see what you are looking for in the display case, ask the guys behind the counter, because they just might have it in the back room. Do you need bones to make a fish stock or stew? Planning a dinner party for a Navy? Not a problem...just call ahead in the morning, and the staff will set aside your items for you. In addition, Anthony's has a number of semi-prepared options, such as shrimp cocktail, cocktail crab claws, baked stuff shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, hot and mild stuffies, clams casino, oysters casino, fish cakes, crab cakes, salmon cakes, and stuffed sole. Did I miss anything? Don't leave without purchasing a pint of clam or fish chowder. My favorite is the Portuguese fish chowder, which contains flaky white fish, shrimp, chorico, and potatoes in a rich creamy broth. I usually purchase a couple of stuffies as well, though I agree with a previous Yelper who stated that the heavy breading somewhat overpowers the sparsity of clams. They are a delicious snack just the same! If you are interested in prepared food, either eat-in or take-out, then look no further. Though the dining room is no-frills, and you won't have an ocean view, Anthony's has some of the best grilled, broiled, or fried seafood, hands-down. They also have chicken sandwiches and hamburgers, in the event that you don't eat seafood. If you are looking for quality fresh seafood that won't break the bank, then go to Anthony's!

    My boyfriend and I recently took a trip to Newport and wanted authentic food that was not in a tourist trap. We found Anthony's on Yelp and took an adventure away from the main part of Newport and man was it worth it! It's a super casual place, order at the counter and take a seat in a booth, but it's clean and comfortable. We had the fish and chips and chowder and they were amazing. Super fresh and delicious. The batter on the fish was fluffy and crispy. As we were leaving we stopped by the fish counter where you can buy fresh fish or chowders to take home and sampled the Portuguese Chowder. OUT OF THIS WORLD. They also ship pretty much everything they offer at the counter as well as soups.

  • Elizabeth O.

    I go here with my family at least once a month or at least get take out! Their fish market is excellent as well. They ahve the best fried clams with bellies around and at a reasonable price. I also enjoy their fired oysters with their horseradish sauce. I find that they are way better than Flo's down the street!

  • Valerie S.

    I remember Anthony's from when I was a kid and it was "the best". Anthony's and Flo's seem to be neck and neck for best seafood. Anthony's has more and easier parking, Flo's has outdoor seating (the outdoor tables at Anthony's are covered). Flo's is across from the beach, Anthony's is kind of in this commercial area. Anthony's takes credit cards and has a section that is just fish, clam cakes, stuffies, etc. to be taken away. I don't know if it is always, but there was a farm stand set up next to Anthony's parking lot which was nice, we got some fresh veggies to take home too. Both restaurants had long lines. With Anthony's it was a quick direction to get to the register to order takeaway - we were behind this group of 24 people who didn't know what they were doing and then cut in front of us - I think the servers saw that and motioned for us to the takeaway register WHICH IS AROUND THE CORNER - you have to go into the dining area for it, which is why most people don't see it. Anthony's feels to me less clam shack and more family restaurant. At any rate, we ordered fried shrimp and fried clams as a snack, so we got the small - something to tide us over because it was close to dinner. Never mind about dinner! The portions were enormous. And that was the small! We had wanted to try the lobstah roll but weren't hungry after so we couldn't order it! The fried clams and shrimp are different from Flo's, I think they are both fresh, but the breading is different and maybe it was the suggestion from the fresh fish area, but it felt fresher here. (Again though, the one at Flo's WAS fresh, I'm not saying it wasn't, not at all!) I have no doubt that next year, we'll definitely hit both places many times, but my first stop is going to be Anthony's. 49 weeks until the lobstah roll!

  • Susan R.

    Update....back recently. I do not care for the stuffies...but my husband likes them. I think there is too much breading, not enough clam bits, and the "hot" ones are overpowered by the cherry peppers. I was very disappointed that they took the "side" of fried clam strips off the menu. I did not want the fries and coleslaw that came with my small portion of clams. The clams were still wonderful however. My husband had crabcakes, which were fried. Okay, not great. At least they were tasty - with bits of scallion. Stick with frieds clams, fresh oysters, lobster rolls.

  • Kendra W.

    A Cali girl on a quest for the authentic New England seafood experience, Anthonny's was PERFECT. Half fresh market, half restaurant, it has no frills...just fresh seafood at the cheapest prices ive seen. When I went, they had a lobster special, two 1.5 lb lobster + corn for $25!! So fresh and sooo good, it even came witg bibs and step by step instructions on how to break and eat a lobster. I also ordered fresh little necks (6 or $3.95) with champagne vinagrette...so much better texture than fresh oysters!! My boyfriend and all the table around me ordered "stuffies" (large stuffed clams), but I'm not a huge fan of stuffing, so it was only ok to me. Eitherway, you have to try this place if you want quality like Newport restaurants, but without the high price tags.

    Every time I am in Rhode Island I make the pilgrimage to Anthony's. I can't find a single negative thing to say about the place. The chowders are the best. The clam chowder and Portuguese chowder with Chourico haunt my dreams. I know every bowl has cardiovascular disease written all over it but I don't care! I want it. I want it the way an addict wants his opiates. I also love their spicy stuffies. They are almost a religious experience. I feel I am spiritually honoring the Quahog that gave its life to provide me this sustenance every time I eat it. Life is too short not to eat Anthony's spicy stuffies. Their fish is always fresh and delicious, no matter how you have them prepare it. I usually just go the fish and chips route but they do mix the menu up a bit. There is always something unusual that you can order.

    I have been going to Anthony's all summer with my boyfriend. Whether it is the fish market, take out or dine in the food is wonderful. However, I was extremely disappointed at the service yesterday. My boyfriend broke his leg over the 4th and for the second time in 2 weeks he actually felt well enough to venture off the couch. I suggested Anthony's. We arrived at the restaurant and was able to see the handicap seating outside on the porch, unfortunately it was only for 2 people and since my daughter was with us I moved one of the chairs to the adjacent picnic tables and had my boyfriend and my daughter take a seat and went inside to order. A few minutes later a man (I guess his only job is to manage the table flow) came up to my boyfriend, told he him needed to get up because we couldn't choose our table. My boyfriend explained his situation (as it was not obvious to this guy) but it was not enough. The guy told him that he was going to have to get into line with me. Shocked my boyfriend told the guy that I was almost at the cashier and to go and talk to me. This man found me in line and the same conversation took place. At first I thought he was kidding but when I asked him to repeat himself and it was clear he was not kidding. I shared with him that his inability to exercise some common sense in a dining area (that was clearly not full) just lost a loyal customer. So sad because I really liked the food.

    Portuguese chowder was great. Only complaint was not knowing procedure, we sat down waiting for service. Waitress came into room a couple of times and didn't bother to tell us that we had to order at counter first. If we had, we would have been given a number on stand to show that we were that order number. The fact that we had no number, she should have known to instruct us on procedures. Food was definitely worth coming back for. Only a couple of miles from Newport and with a parking lot. Newport doesn't have a lot to offer as far as food except for a couple of places and parking is a nightmare. A quick run to Middletown and you get great food at a cheap price. Don't look for atmosphere and you'd be very happy that you came.

  • Scott S.

    There's a line out the door for a reason. This place sells seafood at a counter and also has tables, but not in the traditional restaurant sense. You wait on line, order at a register (pay), then they give you a stand with a number and show you a table (assuming any are left) where they bring the food. Had a 2lb lobster with mussels, clams, potato, and chorizo (hot) - awesome. Prices are reasonable.

    This is an organized, well-run, and clean! restaurant. Ample parking in front, no water view. Service was fast and accurate. The cost, reasonable. The food -- the freshest of fresh. Upon entering, a seafood counter also with prepared items. Order at the counter, a number is given, and food is delivered to your table-booth. Paper, paper napkins with real utensils. Carafe of cold water. Ordered food -- a good selection Calamari -- no tentacles Fried oysters -- plump! Stuffed quahog -- (hot) large and really stuffed Fish (cod) and Chips -- two large pieces with fries and coleslaw A taste of lobster salad-- 100% fresh meat -- Everything delicious. Free parking, delicious seafood, good service, inexpensive, and clean! We'll be back.

    Best place to go if you're looking for fresh seafood, without the snobby price. The first time I went, I had the lobster which was cooked to perfection - juicy! (ahem, it was better than the one at the Black Pearl which was double the price) The second time was all about the swordfish steak - YUM! Need I say more? There is so much more on the menu!

    As you walk in, you see the fresh seafood counter where you can purchase just about any type of seafood from the Newport area. You go to your right and order from a special counter if you are getting food from the kitchen. We started with a few stuffies. They were good, but not really up my alley. Everything we got today was extremely fresh. My daughter had the fish & chips which were crisply breaded and delicious. My wife got the Salmonwhich. It was lightly spiced with some pesto and tasted great. I got the fried clam strips and they too were the freshest seafood I've had here so far. Their slaw was also excellent. Add in 2 drinks and we got out of there for $41. Not bad. I would recommend this to a friend and will take family back there when they visit. Update 30 Jan 2011. Went there for take out today...Portuguese Fish Chowder is a must! Not very spicy, but just the right amount. My daughter loves their NE clam chowder. Another must try is the Kung Pao Calamari! Sweet and slightly spicy...my wife's new favorite dish. We couldn't stop eating it. Always great service here...fresh food done right.

    Oh my godddd, I'm in seafood heaven/ food coma. Just came back from Anthony's and had to yelp about what an awesome gem this place is. First of all, Anthony's is really ideal for folks who don't want to wait in outrageously long lines and who don't want to dine exclusively amongst the beachgoing and/or touristy crowd. It's located about 1.5 miles or so from Easton's Beach, and super easy to get to. Just like what other reviewers had said, the atmosphere is very casual and comfortable. Parking is plentiful. You walk in and you're first greeted by a fresh seafood market. Make a right and you'll see the restaurant part of Anthony's. You order your food at the counter and they will bring your food to you. Granted we were there at 3:00 pm for a late lunch/early dinner, the service was fast and friendly. The food -- DELICIOUS! My husband and I ordered the Portuguese Fish Chowder, the Kung Pow Calamari and the Lobster Roll. All three were phenomenal. The fish chowder had thick flakes of fresh scallops and lobster in it. It also had a bit of a spicy kick to it, to our surprise. The Asian-inspired sauce for the kung pow calamari was amazing. It was unlike anything that I've ever had before. Let's just say, I came close to licking the plate; rather I settled for eating the sauce-soaked lettuce garnish. Yes people, it was that good and I was that desperate. Finally, the lobster roll. A highly anticipated Rhode Island staple and we were waiting to try it at Anthony's. My husband said it was his favorite item among the three that we ordered but I just liked the kung pow calamari better. The lobster roll did not disappoint - I mean you're talking about a generous serving of fresh lobster with a mayo+celery based sauce tucked between two toasted buns. It was accompanied by some of the best fries I've ever had, a pickle (gotta love a pickle) and coleslaw. Didn't really care for the 'slaw, it tasted just like... 'slaw. I downed everything with a Narangassett Lager... a really good local beer. Honestly, on a normal day, it'd be a bit too much food for the two of us. But we didn't have lunch, it was also our dinner, and we are on vacation - so we finished everything that we ordered. The price also did not break the bank and we left extremely satisfied. Wish we had three extra days here to go try out everything else on the menu. I don't think you will be disappointed!

    I love this place. Great place to pickup some fresh seafood. I have bought Cod, shrimp, oysters, littlenecks here and have not been dissapointed with the counter service or the quality of seafood. Prices are reasonable for the area.

    I had several restaurants scoped out but after going to Anthony's I never tried any of the others.

    In looking for a restaurant - and in particular, a seafood restaurant - I am one that doesn't care much for the pomp and circumstance of one of the "fancy" restaurants in downtown Newport. My theory is always that I will pay for the food, but not the atmosphere. Anthony's is definitely my #1 seafood restaurant in the Newport area. The prices are very reasonable, the food fresh, and the selection very good. You have the option of coming in to buy fresh to take home or dine-in and they will cook for you. Every meal I've had here has been plentiful and delicious. From wonderful falling-apart fish and chips to calamari with a delicious light breading to tuna steaks so meaty that I had to take some home. The staff is friendly and helpful as well - so much so that it almost has the feeling of eating at a friend's house and having them cook for you. Remember, it's not flashy. The food is great and the price is right. Those are my measures of success, and Anthony's hits them right on the mark.

    Yum. My first ever lobster roll was here and it was delicious. Large order of fried oysters was a ton of food, they were hot, crisp, and yummy. Not like most fried oyster plates where you get only a handful. Shrimp cocktail, while just a plate with a bunch of shrimp, was great no frills fresh shrimp. The seafood chowder was spicy and rich, very good. The food here is not fancy or prepared fancifully, but it is, above all, fresh. If I lived nearer, I'd eat here on a regular basis.

    Found Anthony's thanks to my fellow yelpers! I was looking for a place to take some out of town guests in Newport that wasn't Flo's since flo's is overpriced, over crowded, and underwhelming. Anthony's was an unassuming little crab shack. We got a stuffie, NE clam chowder, clam cakes, and fish and chips. The stuffie was weird. Very gooey and not very clammy. The chowder was creamy and rich but very bland. I had to add oyster crackers just to give it some flavor. Not my cup of tea . . . well, actually, not my cup of chowder (har har). The clam cakes were a bit greasy and again, not too clammy. However, the fish and chips were super delicious! The fish was nice and flakey and flavorful and the chips were well cooked. Totally beat the pants off of Flo's fish and chips. If I were back in town and wanted some no fuss food, I'd come back =) next time, I'll have to try the lobster

    4-1/2 stars, really. The fish chowder was the best I've ever head. The clam chowder was awesome. Kung pao calamari so good. Salmon fish sandwich good and fries were yummy. The only thing I didn't care for was the boiled lobster. The staff is friendly. Decent beer and wine selection and reasonable prices. This is a "must go" for those in the Newport area.

    I have been buying seafood from Anthony's all my life, and used to eat at Anthony's Shore Dinner Hall off Thames St. in Newport when I was a kid. I ate in the restaurant today for only the second time. I wouldn't normally eat there (preferring take-out) but I'm on crutches so it seemed the best course of action. Before I go any further, let me tell you about the food. It's excellent. It's fresh. It's made to order. It's some of the best fried seafood and other ocean snackies you're going to get in New England. You can't go wrong with the food, OK? Go there. Eat there. But you can go wrong with the service. Oh my. Very wrong. Did I mention I was on crutches? Yeah, broken leg. Kind of inconvenient not being able to walk and all. And in my entitled, handicapped temerity, I had the nerve...to sit in a chair in which I was not specifically *allowed* to sit . A seat by the door. Basically, the first chair I came to after crutching across the humid, busy parking lot. The, umm...host? Maitre d'? Grand-Pooh-Bah Seating Flunky?...he really didn't like that. So, he proceeded to harass me, my girlfriend, and my girlfriend's young daughter. Because he hadn't seated me there, you see. What a little Hitler. He even followed my girlfriend into the ordering line to proclaim that he would be happy to get me a chair...in which to wait in line. Doofus, it's not a wheelchair. Are you going to stand behind me and scoot me along? You know...it's the hospitality industry. You're supposed to make feel welcome.And you're supposed to graciously admit when you're wrong. So to summarize - I will be back. I'm not letting this tinpot seating dictator keep me away from great seafood and, quite honestly, the only stuffies I like other than my own. But I'll be off crutches when I return, and I'll have my eye out for that smarmy seating martinet...

    Saw this place on DDD, knowing that we'd be going down to RI in a few days - perfect timing. One word - YUM! Delicious, fresh seafood. Huge fan of the kung pao calamari - little spicy, salty peanuts, crispy calamari...delicious. I also had the salmon burger - nicely seasoned, not too over-processed/mushy. Not being a local/regular, was a little confused about how the seating worked - you have to stand in line, put in your order at the counter, then stand off to the side / wait to be seated (once your order comes up). Got a little chaotic. Ambiance, nothing special (it is a fish market, after all).

    We have been a couple of times and have enjoyed it every time. Tried the Portuguese chowder and we all enjoyed it. Really didn't find it spicy, but that's me. We also got clam cakes and totally loved them. Dunk them in the chowder...yummy. We brought the fisherman's platter home and enjoyed it the next day. Ask for water and they give you a carafe with ice and cups. Works out great. Only problem is that they only take Visa or Mastercard...good thing we carry one of these, just in case.

    This place was much further away from Newport than I had thought. With so many good reviews, it seemed like it was worth getting away from the downtown area for a good lunch. Nothing about the location or the restaurant was remarkable. I probably could have driven by it a hundred times and not know it was there. I'm so used to being underwhelmed with seafood portions at "seafood" restaurants that I went overboard and ordered 4 dishes for the two of us. After all, just a few small orders of fried shrimp, clams (whole belly clams... yum!), a lobster roll and fish tacos. So, how much food could this be? Well, it was a LOT. Small orders or not, there was a lot of shrimp and clams. I can't imagine what large orders look like. The lobster roll, at $18.50, at first seemed somewhat expensive, but touristy price. But what we got could easily be almost twice the size of an average lobster roll, with meat to match. I cut it in half and shared. We probably could have stopped right there. The fish tacos were huge, but unremarkable. I wish my wife hadn't ordered it. Had we came with friends or other family, I would have loved to have tried the steamers--2 lbs per order! I saw a nearby table eating it, and I was so envious! With so many recommendations to try the Portuguese fish chowder, I had to try it. It's a bit spicy if your palate can't handle a little bit of heat. Lots of scallops, fish and pieces of chourico (sausage). Very good! We ordered a bowl of it, but it's not a very large serving. It's different, but personally, I prefer good ol' New England clam chowder. Next time... I was very happy with the place, even though it took us away from the Newport "scene". And given that Anthony's sells fresh seafood on the same premises, you know everything is fresh. I even saw their supply van at the docks in Newport loading up, so I think I know where their seafood comes from (the lobster, at least).

    This place is classic. The best seafood in the area. Come in, order your favorite seafood items, and sit back with a beer and enjoy. Be prepared for insanely long waits, unless you come late. However, they turn the tables efficiently and the food is delivered quickly. This is not a place for fine dining & white glove service. No need to change into any of your evening outfits. ADVICE: send one person to the line and leave everyone else in the car. Once the food is ordered, you can then meet at a table. I witnessed some pretty ridiculous situations with grandparents standing, kids sitting on the ground, and strollers in the line.

    This place is awesome. Thanks Guy for coming here. My girlfriend and I came here for a wedding. The KungPao calamari and crab cakes were out of this world. The dish i had was Tuna steak was delicious. She had the special Nantucket and it was awesome.

    We had just finished touring the Newport Mansions and we were hungry for some seafood! We knew we wanted to eat at some sort of shady seafood shack that serves amazing food and Anthony's was just that! Portuguese clam chowder- A delicious spin on clam chowder. There were potatoes, fish chunks, sausage, clams, spices....I don't even know! The best clam chowder I have had. I think it was 6 dollars for a bowl/the larger size. Clam cakes- Okay so we ordered this solely because the BF's coworker said these are Rhode Island specialties. His co-worker said they were just like "crab cakes but with clams" and so when we saw that a dozen of these things only costed 6 bucks we went for it! However, these are not what we were expecting haha. Clam cakes are GIANT clam doughnuts....fried dough with specks of clams. They tasted good but were so dense we only ate 3 between the 2 of us. Wouldn't get again but not bad. Lobster roll- $19. We were a little surprised the sandwich costed that much just because everything else was so cheap. It was pretty good. Light on the mayo (I actually prefer even less mayo) and had a piece of lettuce. The bun was large and there were fries included. Overall, this place was a perfect lunch spot after spending the morning at the Newport Mansions.

    5 stars...I only give 5 stars if I'm blown away or they have a dish that I crave and need to go back for. I'm in love with their Portuguese Fish Chowder. I live in NJ and its a 4 hour drive. I make sure to eat the soup and then take some home with me in a cooler with ice. Its awesome! Lots of seafood chunks in there! I went last weekend and I happened to get their lobster roll. OMG it had to be the best one I got in Rhode Island...or EVER. It just has nice chunks and lobes of lobster (not just shredded pieces). As soon as I took my first bite, I knew it was a good one. I will now always get both and but I'm torn because I want to try other things on their menu.. :( BTW the last time I got the kung pao calamari, it was just okay...trust me the Portuguese Fish Chowder and Lobster roll is where its at!! Also, FYI people start lining up even at off peak times.

  • Ken T.

    What a find! If you thought you could only eat seafood by dropping a ton of cash, you are WRONG. The fish chowder was great, and was a great alternative to the usual NE Clam Chowder. The Stuffed Quahog was a little too bready for me but it had a nice spicy kick to it. KungPao Calamari you can skip. But the LOBSTAH YOU CANNOT. At other places, it's hard to enjoy fresh lobster when you have tears streaming down your face as you think about the pricey bill you'll end up getting. At Anthony's, you won't have to go through that. The 2lb lobster deal is SLICK and you'll be able to enjoy every single bite of it- tears free.

    Awesome no frills seafood place! As others have said, it's cafeteria style so don't come expecting a fancy dine-in experience. We made it in the door about 10 minutes before their kitchen closed so we quickly ordered 2 stuffies and a 2-lb lobster. I wanted to eat everything on the menu but I just didn't have enough stomach space. Sad face. Stuffies - amazing seafood stuffed clams. I ordered mild and it still had a bit of a kick. Lobster - we devoured it while it was piping hot. Came with corn and potatoes. It was great, but the meat was a bit chewy. Bibs and utensils are all provided. There's also a clean! spacious bathroom to wash off all that lobster gunk. Next time I'm in Newport, I'm stopping by for some fish and chips.

    Anthony's is a more of like a side thing for the Seafood market. The service is basically order and then sit down. Service is kind of odd, no one really checks on you but they'll bus your table after you leave. It's a weird system, especially with the little signs on the table that suggests you leave a 10% tip. They even mention how it's a little unusual. However, the food is good, and worth it. I got the spicy stuff-just to say I did and it was good. If you've never had it before it's not a disappointment, like a spicy, chewy crabcake. Good. The Kung Pao Calamari is in an interesting novelty, tasty but kind of gimmicky. Overall, I'd come back because the seafood I had was terrific and I want to try more. We had come here after a disappointing brunch and even being fed already we were impressed with the food here.

  • Esther Y.

    Oh my.. Where to start. We ordered the new england clam chowder, fish and chips, kung pao calamari, mussels pasta, clam strips and a flounder fish and chips and boy was it a lot of food. Everything tastes fresh and very flavorful.. Totally worth trying this place out. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are big imo.. The service was great as well. The line tends to get long so try to avoid peak hours! Def. try the chowder and the kung pao calamari!! It's not overrated!

    You may have heard about this place on Diners Dives and Drive-ins. That show that is hosted by that annoying Guy Fieri. Not only does he annoy you on TV, but his appearance at any restaurant will cause the place to soar in popularity and have a long line of people who watched the show. Food Network, why? Seriously, why? Anyway, lobster was pretty good. Having just come from Maine, it was just OK, but for the area, I don't think there are many choices that are better than this place. The stuffed quahog was a nice side accompaniment to the meal. Lots of breading, good amount of spicy kick if you order hot. Clam chowder was quite good. Not too thick and creamy enough. The fish and chips were really one of the best. Super flaky cod filets battered lightly and fried to a crisp. Regardless of what that Guy Fieri says and what adjectives he tries to recycle in talking about the food here, it's worth a trip over and worth the 15 minute wait.

    The Quick: Fantastic calamari special featured on DDD and a favorite spot among locals. Nothing fancy but great seafood. Worth a quick stop. The Details: A large and clean "hole in the wall", Anthony's is a local favorite and provides the fish to many popular downtown restaurants. The calamari special on DDD was sweet and spicy, very different and addicting. The lobster roll was good but "market price" cost us more than multiple fancy waterfront restaurants-- and this was served on plastic. Wait until lobster is more in season and avoid market price at all cost. The Damage: The calamari special, one lobster roll, small clam strips cost us ~ $45. I'd just stick with the calamari and avoid the $22 lobster roll at a no frills joint.

    Our first experience with Anthony's seafood was when I was picking up food to go for a stay at the Rose Island Lighthouse. I ordered the Portuguese Fish Chowder, spicy stuffies, and stuffed mushrooms. YES. That meal later heated up was perfection. I am raving about their fish chowder, chock full of scallops, fish, clams, etc. so full of flavor. And it heats up so well! Their stuffies were good, some of the better stuffies we had in Rhode Island. Finally, their stuffed mushrooms were a hit! Stuffed with more seafood than their stuffie counterpart, I also highly recommend these! Okay, now for our actual sit-in experience. I came with a party of four. After settling on what we wanted to order, we placed the order at the front desk and were seated. Anthony's is a local place and it definitely feels that way. No frills. No fancy bits. No pretenses. You're here for your awesome seafood dishes and no other nonsense. I love it. I ordered their stuffed sole entry and also got to try their Kung pao calamari. The stuffed sole was great, stuffed with the same thing their mushrooms were so I can't complain at all. The only nitpick I had was how heavy the dish was, but that's hardly something to complain about. My boyfriend's calamari though was perfect. Tender, crispy, not overcooked at all! And the sauce was great! Not too much or too little. Finally! Yes. We totally had leftovers to take home. So find your way to Anthony's Seafood. Get ready for a bit of a wait cause it's popular and rightfully so!

    There is a reason guy fiere comes here! Amazing food, very simple decor nothing fancy but I like that. Place your order and then grab a seat and enjoy. Chowder, fish tacos are all amazing. Fried clams are great too and don't forget to have a stuffie :)

    Anthony's Seafood provided this tired traveller with some of the best Seafood I have ever tasted. The little ball on the Russian roulette of travel food has fallen in favor of the traveller on this trip. The oysters on the half shell had such a fresh, invigorating taste that it made me feel as though I fell off the pier and into the cool sea...the portuguese fish soup was creamy and went down easy. It had a little bite so watch it! The breaded scallops were buttery and soft. The white wine sauce was on point. I highly recommend that if you ever find yourself in this area to give it a try. They also have a Seafood market and store inside.

    Went here for a late lunch / early dinner right after checking into our hotel nearby. We'd just arrived after a 4-hour drive from NY and were very hungry, but since we had never been to the area before we figured we'd come here to eat before heading into Newport. It was great! Definitely nothing fancy; it's market-style so you order at the counter, pick a table, and then they bring you what you ordered. Service was very quick, and it was really good. I got the lobster roll and fries which I enjoyed immensely... my boyfriend got the Portuguese chowder and he loved it. Definitely would return if I'm ever nearby again! Especially for that lobster roll...

    I love this place. I have only been here a few times, but I have been completely satisfied all those times. The first time I ate here was a little over a year ago, and I fell in love with this place. They have the freshest seafood you could ever have anywhere. Their lobster is the best. It is always well cooked. I also like their fisherman's platter; it is perfectly fried and a good portion. Their cole slaw is good also. They have the freshest lobster roll; the only thing I will change is the hot dog bun to another type of roll. One complaint I have is that my partner and I got the white clam chowder, and it had bacon in it. We do not eat pork, and we didn't notice that their clam chowder had bacon in it. It will be nice to have a white clam chowder without bacon; if they do one of the waitress told us they didn't. I hope this changes, because I would love to eat a bowl of their clam chowder. Besides this little issue for me this place is the BEST for seafood.

    Good food at Anthony's restaurant. Fried food exactly as you expect. Good but nothing spectacular. Kids working there lack charm or personality, but it's not a place you look to have much ambiance. I have to rave about the seafood shop, however. Incredibly fresh fish and clams and oysters. Got tuna tails for $4.95/lb. The husband is raving over it right now.

  • Michaelea T.

    This place has decent prices, a laid back atmosphere, and pretty nice sized portions. You order at a counter and your food is delivered to you. Service on a Saturday at lunch is slow, we had to ask twice for our lobster rolls, but they came out eventually. Try the stuffee, it's basically bread-based stuffing mixed with minced seafood and baked on a clam shell. It's pretty cute. The crab cakes are the best thing I ate here. The NH clam chowder was ok, a little too salty for my taste. The lobster roll was generous and came with fries. The shrimp cocktail looked sad in presentation, but tasted ok.

    you want an authentic and delicious seafood experience where you get your money's worth plus a whole lot more? Come to Anthony's. It just outside of Newport in Middletown, but it's well worth the short drive. Newport is full of great restaurants, especially seafood. However, this place outperforms them all in every way. To start, it's a takeout or eat in kind of place. I had an order of crab legs and a salmon sandwich. Both were as fresh as you could get and absolutely delicious. Best salmon dish I've ever had. The crab legs were lights out as well. Both portion sizes were big and the prices were pretty inexpensive. They even provide you a bib for the crab legs..haha. It's a very casual kind of place that looks more like a school cafeteria than a sit down restaurant. The line also moves fairly quickly as once you order, you can sit down and wait for the food to be brought to you. If you're visiting Newport, I highly recommended taking a drive to Anthony's. It's highly rated for a reason and well worth it. The locals probably wish us visitors didn't know about this place!

    Decent seafood. I wouldn't say it is the best or the place to go every time you Middletown/Newport. The wait to get in is usually long. You wait and then order at a register, grab your bottled drink and the foot is brought to your table. Interesting concept, but price of food is comparable to other places. I'm not sure I would go back, but I enjoyed the food I had... But again, it wasn't the best seafood ever.

    I'M A SEAFOOD LOVER!!! Checked this place out because people always talked about it. I wasn't too impressed. The restaurant appearance is old and cafeteria style. You order before you sit down... The food is regular at best. I have had better stuffed shrimp from Red Lobster. My boyfriend had the fried platter it was okay. In a nut shell it is not all people make it out to be. Very mediocre and not worth the price.

  • Nina S.

    Love the no frills kinda vibe of this place, but the food could step up a notch. Got the Portuguese seafood chowder to start which right of the bat was disappointing since it came lukewarm. The soup bass itself was good with depth of flavor, but the seafood in it was meh. I'd rather just eat the soup with oyster crackers. Next was the fish and chips. The fish was nicely fried, not too salty, but the fries were just not up to par. The lobster roll was lightly dressed which I appreciated but the lobster meat was kind of hard like the meat had seized up. Maybe just had an off visit since I came during the winter, well technically spring but it was snowing that day so...

  • Joseph I.

    Excellent fried flounder & well done fries the way they need to be cooked all the time. Other restaurants could learn a thing or 2 here. Mild stuffie was awesome & so was the Portuguese fish chowder! My only regret was that there was no room in the cooler to take home stuffies & more chowder. Always a stop b4 heading out back home.

  • Danielle S.

    So glad to have found this gem of a restaurant! We have been here twice and both times the fried seafood was fresh, hot and crispy. We also loved the New England clam chowder.

    Chilling in Newport? The best seafood is in Middletown, fifteen minutes away. Casual dining, free parking, eat in or take away outstanding meals. Highly recommend Portuguese chowder, lobster roll, fish tacos -- but everything is delicious. The locals come here to eat!

    I love this restaurant. We always got this as take out when we lived on Aquidneck island, my mom would grab dinner to go. It has and is still GREAT! They have awesome stuffie's and chowda! Really you probably can't go wrong with any meal from here! You can get meals to go and make them at home with the veggies and potatoes and seasoning even fresh herbs already for cooking. Fresh seafood counter to buy and cook at home. They have various products for sale for sauces and spices as well!!! Can't go wrong with ordering to go or siting in the dining area. It's casual, walk up order pay get a number grab a table and it gets brought out to you. Easy peasy!!

  • Adam L.

    Super casual... You go to the counter and order, get your sides and then sit down for them to bring you your entrée. I wish they gave you a chance to provide the "suggested 10% gratuity" on a credit card. They have no tip line on the form which made me feel bad for all the tips the staff must miss out on. My NE chowder was very good, my Grilled Salmon sandwich was decent and the portions huge. Overall I plan to try it again.

  • Sevann H.

    Was craving seafood and when we saw this place had been on Diner's, Drive-in's and Dives we knew we had to go here. It's a no frills no fuss kind of place. You order at the counter then they bring it to your seat. We started off with the Portuguese clam chowder, which was a little spicy, a lot of flavor, and very delicious. Then the fish and chips with flounder. It was light, delicate, and amazing. The fries were hot, and yummy. I had the cold lobster roll. The lobster was fantastic, very little sauce so as to not overwhelm the lobster. Again, total winner.

  • Ling L.

    I like the self service where you could get your own water and seat yourself. However, the food is alright. I had the bake scallop, clam cake and clam chowder. The bake scallop tasted very fresh but the sides and clam were big disappointment. Garlic smash potato taste very plain like regular smash potato. Clam was the worst. Clam cake was so chewy like rubber and so over season that you can't taste any clam but salty gum. Would not come back next time I visit Middletown

    Very casual. Order at a cash register and pick your own table. Meal was plentiful, lobster and steamers were good, but muscles were subpar. Rhode Island clam chowder was exceptional. We came for lobster rolls, but unfortunately they did not have any. Lobster rolls were $23, which is about how much they were in downtown Newport on the water. Offered a lot of fried seafood. Classic clam shack offerings. Seating indoor or covered outdoor. Cafeteria style seating The fresh seafood market to take home and cook looked incredible. .

  • Nancy C.

    I had the fisherman's platter. Fish, shrimp, clams, scallops and fries. It was a huge portion at a reasonable price. Plan on 30 bucks with drink for this meal. Love the menu, ordering style and casual ambience. Something was missing, especially from the scallops. There was no sweetness as with most small scallops. There were too many scallops, as well. More whole belly clams, please! I expected a bit more from the #1 rated restaurant in Middletown.

  • Michael R.

    This place gets packed in the summer and is worth the wait when busy. I definately reccomend this place as well in the off season since its probably the only time you can walk in and get a table. The food is great...I don't leave this place without getting the Portuguese fish chowder (it will change your life) there is so much on the menu that's great. If your a follower of guy fieri, he did a DDD here and had the Kung pow calimari and stuffed quahaug. (Both excellent)..it's hard to go wrong eating here.

    Stayed near this restaurant so had to stop and try it. Went during lunch and had a good experience. Tried the lobster roll - fresh and delicious. Tried the clam cake - dry and doughy. I was expecting more meat on the clam cake but didn't really taste any. Maybe people who are familiar with clam cakes will disagree with me, but I was expecting something akin to the crab cake. The clam cake wasn't for me. Otherwise, great experience and atmosphere.

    Our family loves it here, the seafood was so fresh and tasty we came here everyday when we visited Newport. The oysters, the shrimp cocktail, and the chowder was insane. The service was so fast. Order the food at the counter and a few minutes later food came right to the table, barley any wait it was amazing. We have two babies that only let us sit at a restaurant for 30 minutes, so this place was perfect. Quick and easy, tons of parking and the price was so cheap absolute must try.

    I had just gotten into Middletown and A. had never been to New England and B. Never had a lobster roll. My friend suggested we go to this seafood restaurant that close to his house. I walked in, wasn't busy and thought, hey what a cute local restaurant. It must not have that many yelp reviews yet. HA. HA. HA. When I saw that blasted Guy Fieri and his crazy hair spray paint... my heart sank. NOOOOO. Its always a numbers, prices, and quality game. Popularity up, prices up, quality down. Luckily... I was wrong. I had the Lobster roll at the every mysterious "market price" and was shocked to see what appeared to be a whole lobster's amount of meat on my perfectly buttered and crisped roll with PERFECTLY crispy french fries. I am forever ruined. I will never be able to have another lobster roll without being a total snob. Woe is I. (wow, first world troubles seriously). My BFF for lyfe ordered the fried clams and it was good...but not my lobster roll good. His dad had the baked seafood Nantucket which had cod, sea scallops, old bay seasoned shrimp, and was layered in lobster sauce and topped with bacon. He seemed to enjoy it but mentioned that the center was a touch cold. I feel this is something they pre make and heat in the oven as needed... The last plate ordered at our table was the grilled salmwich with fries. No complaints whatsoever. So Im glad I got to visit the place off season as there was zero wait and everyone around us seemed to be local. It made for a great experience. It was a beautiful welcome to New England. Then again, getting deep fried food made the transition from the South to the North a touch easier. :)

    I'd actually been to Anthony's a few times over the years since I was stationed here for a while. I remember this place as decent. Lots of fried seafood and reasonably tasty. Had I reviewed this previously before my visit today, I probably would have given it three stars. That being said, I decided to do the unthinkable today...look for non fried options on the menu. Called them up for some takeout. Figured I'd had the NE Clam Chowder here before and it was decent. So got that and it was pretty good. Ingredients tasted fresh. I also tried their crab cakes (they're baked) and they were wonderful! Tasted very fresh, obviously not premade or frozen. A ton of crab meat in these babies...a few drops of lemon on each made this appetizer a big win! For my main dish, I intended on getting the lobster roll, and I was disappointed when the young lady on the phone told me they were out, but had this not been the case, I never would have thought to try what I got. I was blank and didn't know what to order so I asked her what she recommended and got the Grilled Salmwich. Best. Choice. Ever!!! The seasoning: minimal and PERFECT! Just added a little flavor that played off the flavor of the grilled fish PERFECTLY! Cooked to PERFECTION! Add that special mayo and the cheese and it was quite simply the best sandwich I've ever had. No need to explore the menu any further. Those crab cakes and the sandwich are now the only thing I'll order. I'm going home in less than a week, but I'm definitely stopping by again before I leave!

    Best lobster roll in town. Living in Newport, I was getting tired of overpriced food that wasnt GREAT. Well I'm glad to have stepped a little outside if town and found this place. The stuffed quahog was SO good, lobster roll was amazing, and so was the seafood platter. The service is great. this place gets packed but service is quick so everyone is in and out pretty quickly. Great prices as well!

    What happened to lobster roll? I am a local and I buy the lobster roll year round for my "seafood" loving husband. I stopped in yesterday for take out, I ordered. The price of the lobster roll dropped to $21.00 from $25.00 so I knew something was amiss. This was around 3pm and my husband would eat the lobster roll in the evening. The French fries reheat in the oven deliciously always. The flavor was spot on but my husband said there were too many claws vs tail meat in the lobster salad. Oh no! This is my consistent lobster roll now changed! Lobster Rolls are expensive, as consumers we know this when ordering. For a $4.00 price decrease, too add to many claws. Bring back the consistently excellent lobster roll at $25.00. We love good food, we know it is summer, we know Anthony's is off the beaten path. We support you year round. Your seafood is excellent beyond compare.

    Food is phenomenal. Atmosphere is not. There is no service. When the place is crowded, it's a total pain in the butt. Cafeteria ordering system. Order takers are not friendly or helpful. If you go only for the food, you'll be happy.

    Hands down my favorite restaurant in my visit to Rhode Island. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything here is very fresh and served in "fast food style" way, where you order your food at the register and then it's brought to whatever table you choose to sit at. I put my stamp of approval on the following menu items: New England Clam Chowder: Perfect Portuguese Calm Chowder: Spicier perfection of the above clam chowder Crab Cakes: 3 cakes, baked with real fresh crab meat. Dipping sauce was exceptional. Lobster Roll: Stuffed with a large amount of Lobster that was super fresh, although a little pricy at $24. Try it though, you will realize it's money well spent. Clam Strips: Very tasty, but I would recommend trying something different to actually taste the quality of the fish they are using. Once again, the dipping sauce was exceptional. If you are anywhere in the area, this is a must-visit and potentially on multiple occasions like myself.

    Excellent lobster roll and stuffies! Pleasant staff and dining area has a really nice view. Raw oysters are reallllly fresh and much bigger than average. Travelled from NY and it was definitely worth the trip!

    Liked it so much I bought a T-shirt! Our first trip as we were in the area for some R&R This is a neat combination of a working seafood market and a really casual restaurant. At the entrance is a set of display cases with fresh fish, shellfish and home-made sides. Warning - you cannot get a table until you order, and as this place must get packed during the peak vacation months, you might be looking at a bit of a wait. Well worth it, but be prepared. And they close early - 8pm the night we were there. Off to the right are two dining areas, with nothing but condiments on the table. I knew I was going to be rolling up my sleeves! The menu is fairly simple, with loads of fresh dishes, a couple of surprise items and a few traditional preparations. You order at the counter, and can add beer or wines by-the-glass or bottle from a short, but adequate selection. You get a number, grab some silverware, and in our case wine glasses, and head to your table - in my case, drooling just a bit. We started with some raw clams - as fresh as can be, and small and sweet, just like when I used to go clamming with my Dad. We moved on to Kung Pao calamari, which was spicy but not too hot and a great second course. A bottle of some white wine went perfectly with our first two courses. There is table service once you are seated, and they were prompt and extremely efficient throughout our meal - water was promptly refilled and used dishes whisked away. For our main course we shared the Portuguese Clam Bake - clams, chourizo served over linguini, with enough broth to dunk your bread in (over and over). A bit different than grandma's, but absolutely delicious.Our bill came to $53, including the bottle of wine. The bottom line is that this is fresh seafood, no fluff, and the price is right.

    Anthony's was a true seafood shack! Of course, visiting New England a girl must have full belly fried clams! They were delicious - tender and big. I started out with the Portuguese Fish Chowder which was filled with different fish, scallops, clams, and shrimp. It was scrumptious! My coworker ordered fried shrimp and enjoyed that also, Great place if you want a great chowder and fried seafood!

  • Sha J.

    My entire family loves this restaurant. My grandfather Mr James whom the guys know as Jimmy always goes in with his Anthony's seafood paraphernalia and people ask him all the time if he works there and he always laughs and says no. I make sure to send my guests over there when they stay at the Courtyard when they ask me about seafood that's the first thing out of my mouth. It doesn't get any better fresher or more delicious than Anthony's seafood!

    Anthony's Seafood is a local tradition. It's nothing fancy, but the seafood is good. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you, and the service was friendly and efficient. My husband had their famous lobster roll and I had the fish & chips. The portions were generous, and I loved the fries. On a hot day, we appreciated being able to have a carafe of ice cold water at our table.

    Food continues to be excellent and reasonably priced. Last visit we tried their Portuguese fish chowder which was delicious. Recently purchased my first oyster knife from Anthony's which was inexpensive, but top quality. Ian in the fish market helped me select some oysters and even demonstrated how to shuck one for me! Thanks Anthony's for awesome food and service at both the fish counter and restaurant!

  • Steve H.

    Exactly what I expected it to be. Having spent my summers in RI I am familiar with the clam shacks in town. Great memories of Max's and the mediocre tastes of Flo's had me craving what I loved as a child. Anthony's offered exactly what I was looking for. The New England chowder was tasty with a distinct flavor I was not recognizing. It could have been dill. The clam cakes were exactly as I remembered from other places on the Island. It brought me back to the simplistic times when calories meant nothing to me in my youth. The stuffed clam was just Ok with slightly overcooked clams causing them to be overly chewy. The star was the whole belly fried clams. Exactly as I craved and perfectly fried. The fries were basic variety and the tarter sauce was quite plain as I'm used to making my own with more flavor. When catering to a crowd who craves simple delicious fish options this is the place to fulfill nostalgic tastes while building new memories.

    We stayed in Middletown on a recent visit to Newport. The desk clerk recommended this as a great, casual, reasonably-priced seafood place. We ordered the lobster roll (cold lobster salad on a buttered roll, absolute perfection!), stuffies (stuffed clams), and the Kung Pao calamari. Everything came out pretty quickly & everything was very good. They have beer and wine, and dessert--which we did not get. Lots of orders for baked and fried dinners came out of the kitchen. Seems like the kind of place where everything is good. We came back the next day for lunch & ordered the Portuguese chowder (outstanding), New England chowder (just ok), and the fried fishermans platter (very good and enough food for 3-4 people). They have less expensive and better food than anywhere I've eaten in Newport. Be prepared to wait, unless you go at an off peak time.

    Rhode Island cuisine is basically limited to seafood. Anthony's is a good fish market and a great place to eat also. There are no frills at all, but with fish this fresh and delicious, they don't need it. Let's get the bad out of the way. The line is long. It'll move faster than it looks, but you're going to wait, especially in the summer. The tables belong in a cheap pizzeria. The service is friendly, but minimal. The prices are not crazy for seafood, but it is not cheap. Come here to eat, because it's all about the food. The Portugese Fish Chowder. It's spicy and creamy and packed with fish with some sausage in there also. I will never go to Rhode Island ever and not get the Portugese Fish Chowder at Anthony's. The clam chowder is also good. Go for the Shore Dinner. It runs you more than $20, but you get a gigantic bowl with mussels and clams plus butter and broth to dip. It come with chourico sausage and an ear of corn. The boiled potatoes are surprisingly tasty. And weirdly, there is a hot dog sitting in the bottom. If you're getting full, skip the hot dog. My wife loves the scallops. I like the stuffed sole and the Seafood Nantucket is very good. The tuna steak is very good, though they won't make it as rare as I'd like. Seriously, this is the place to eat on Aquidneck Island. Do it.

  • Larry D.

    Yelp reviews are consistently accurate, but it missed the mark this time. Based on the star rating, I was ready for a great lunch experience with great sea food and a bit of local personality. What I experienced was mediocre food and a cold, cafeteria style set up. Not impressed to say the least. To be fair, the small cup of chowder was actually good, so we started off well, but the fish & chips were dreadful. The breading on the fish was soggy, with no flavor and covered poor tasting fish. Stated as a highlight of the menu, it more than missed the mark. Looking around at the other tables, the servings I saw of other items were not impressive looking either. Most of them looked similarly bland and with minimal portions. Customer beware....

  • Valerie V.

    Good service is not be expected here. It has a cafeteria style service and you order before you sit down. They also told us to get our drinks next to the cashier but when we sat down noticed that everyone had pitchers of water which were opposite of the cashier and were FREE. We ordered: Clam chowder - FREAKING delicious. It was the perfect mix of chunky and creamy. 2 LB Dinner meal- included lobster, clams, mussels, a hot dog, a sausage, corn on the cob, and potatoes. The mussels were so small and forgetful. Clams had a lot of sand in them. Steamed hot dog was okay, and the sausage was tasty. Enjoyed the corn and the lobster was best and pretty much only good thing on the plate. It was very buttery! King crab legs- were delicious and large. it was pretty sliced in the middle so it wasn't a hassle to eat. The meal was overall okay, I'm glad I came but I've had better.

  • Sofie S.

    My bf and I were visiting from NY and decided to try a place to eat away from all the tourists. We found this little gem. During our visit the place was packed. The method of ordering and paying before picking out your seat really sped up the process. I tried a shrimp and fish baked dish w/corn and my bf had the 2 lobsters. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was pretty relaxed and low key. We came back a second time and enjoyed different dishes with the same great service.

    This is my second day here in a row. After hearing the locals rave about this place I decided to try it and I am not disappointed. *disclaimer* If you are looking for fine dinning and ambience this is not the place for you. Anthony's Seafood doubles as a fish market and Upon walking in you are agreeing with fresh seafood on a beds of ice. This reminds me of the Asian fish markets in New York. You order and pay and is then seated. The windows (louvers as we call them in the Caribbean take me back to my childhood and was all the Zanex I needed to calm down) The seafood tacos is a must have. My reluctant to try it at first was quickly forgotten by the first bite. I have since repented and been back for more. The snow crab legs are well seasoned and the clam chowder was one of the best I have had. I was disappointed by the lobster because it was not as flavored as the tacos. I enjoyed the corn as they tested like they were freshly picked in the back yard. All in all, I recommend Anthony's Seafood to anyone visiting Rhode Island.

    We're in Rhode Island on vacation. I knew this was going to be on our list after watching diner, drive ins and dives. We got the stuffies, lobster roll, oysters, and steamers. The kids got Mac n cheese which looked like Kraft. They were thrilled as was I with the very generous portion. But onto our meals... Stuffies were delicious! My husband thought it was a little heavy on the breading, but I preferred it that way. I almost wished I ordered 2-3 for a meal instead of 1. My lobster roll was great!! Not heavy on the mayo and very fresh. Stranded and oysters were great. We would definitely return!

    Consider myself fed, happy, and all-up extremely satisfied with my visit here. I was craving a lobster roll and oysters and Anthony's delivered. This place is exactly what I would expect for a fresh, road-side, casual dining experience. Come in, order from the counter, pop a cold drink, wait for your fresh seafood to be delivered and instantly devoured. I would however stay away from the salmon sandwich - who puts cheese on salmon. Why? That makes no sense. Remember to leave some tip in the tipping jar on your way out with cash.

    This place is an excellent seafood market and restaurant. As most seafood markets have the freshest seafood, they always make the best restaurants as well and this one does just that in the best way. The juiciest stuffie's I've had yet. The New England Mega Meal has everything you could want and way more than enough for 2 people. Great seafood place!

    If I could give no stars I would! I actually had high hopes for Anthony's seafood when my fiancé told me we were going to go there, considering it was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives but it was a complete let down. Now we have never been here before, so for obvious reason we assumed it was like a typical restaurant, but no! We walked to the door, hadn't even gotten in and a man said it was a 40 minute wait. I didn't think that was bad considering we went on a Saturday night around 6pm, so we said we would wait. We finally got in the door and there was a line forming, no hostess to take our name and number of guests or anything like that. So I just thought it was there version of making people wait.....no big deal. We eventually get close to what we realized was a cash register, so now I was a little confused. After watching the people ahead of us, apparently you order, buy drinks (sorry no free refills on anything except tap water) and pay before you even get a seat! I wasn't to pleased about this. When we got to the cash register, the girl was rude, which I noticed her being rude with the customers before us, so clearly just another negative. Horrible set up and workers.....who wouldn't love this place? (Note this is sarcasm) We got the Kung Pao Calamari, my fiancé got the Portuguese Fish Chowder, for our meals I got the grilled pesto marinara Salmon with Rice Pilaf and a side salad. My fiancé got the Seafood Nantucket. So to recap, wait 40 minutes in line just to order.....then wait another 20 to even sit and then they don't cook your food till you sit (which was surprisingly the only thing they do that makes sense) which means you wait for flipping ever just to eat! Once we eventually sat down, our appetizer and soup did come out pretty quickly, however, the Kung Pao Calamari wasn't as good as reviews I had read about it. We are huge seafood lovers and this was sub par. The sauce is decent but they don't even toss the calamari in the sauce, they just pour a little over, so half the calamari had nothing on it. The soup I did not try but my fiancé said it was about 90% chourico and 10% fish, which is a bit of a let down and kinda annoying. The biggest issue I had was when out meals came out. I got my salmon and the side salad was clearly not made fresh, it was in a plastic container that someone must make a bunch early in the morning to last the day. I couldn't even mix my salad with the dressing because the container was so small. My fiancés food was ok, and I am using that term loosely, we expected almost like a baked cod type dish but with the other fish, with bread crumbs on top. Instead it was extremely soupy and messy. Then my salmon.....oh lord I don't know why it was so difficult. My salmon did not have the pesto marinara on it, but in a side cup which is weird, and it was ice cold....so I was to put cold crappy sauce on my hot salmon? I don't think so. I asked the bus girl if she could bring my the garlic butter sauce instead and to make sure it was hot because cold makes no sense. She quickly came back with COLD garlic butter. WTF!!! I clearly stated hot and she paid no attention. Now onto the rice pilaf....it was not rice pilaf. It was basically Spanish rice, which personally I don't like. I also don't like ordering rice pilaf, expect rice pilaf and then NOT get rice pilaf. So between the rice and the salmon I was done. I called the bus girl back over, explained I was unhappy, she said she could get a manager which I said would be a good thing. Another girl comes over, definitely not the manager, but OK, and I explained to her that cold butter for hot salmon makes no sense, what was I to do? Rub butter all over my salmon?? I think NOT! She did take my meal back and took it off the bill. But by this point I just wanted to get up and leave. I waited for my fiancé to finish, which he didn't even want to but he was hungry. When he was done we got up, left and will never return! I highly.....I repeat, HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND Anthony's Seafood!!

    This is a good place for fresh, local seafood. The location and ambience are nothing special and most of the menu items are deep fried, but it's good. I like the chowders. They offer traditional New England-style clam chowder and a Portuguese chowder that includes Chourico. We often get take-out.

  • Xiaoyi W.

    Thanks yelp for an amazing lunch! We got the lobster rolls, the kung pao calamari, and the salmwich. Everything was delish but our favorite was the salmwich, with perfectly cooked salmon with cheese and pesto on a buttered bun. We found the king pao calamari to be a bit too on the sweet side and needing more acid. The lobster roll was fresh but much more expensive ($22) than the seafood shack by the beach in Newport (2 for $12) in late May.

    After reading Yelp's reviews, my family and I decided to go here for dinner while we were visiting RI for the weekend. From the main entrance it appears that this place is a fish market, but to the right is the restaurant. You order the food at the counter and is given a number to take back to your table. Sodas, tap water & plastic cups are in the refrigerators, which you need to get yourself. Service was friendly but a lot of it was self service. Pros: We ordered the Portuguese Fish Chowder, NE clam chowders, Fish & Chips, fish tacos and lobster rolls. Both chowders were delicious and packed with seafood and potato. Every orders came with a good side portion of fries. The portions were pretty big. Cons: Everything else had little or no flavor. The lobster rolls were filled with lobster but very bland. The fish taco were greasy, over breaded and had no flavor. You only get 2 medium pieces of fish for the fish & chips and the rest were French fries. The meal portions were pretty big but were mostly fries. Pretty expensive for mostly fries. I would come back for the chowders only.

  • Unknown Y.

    The food was delicious (and reasonably priced), but there just wasn't a "restaurant" feel to the place. it was more like a fast food place just just happens to serve up some awesome seafood. The New England clam chowder was very delicious and not skimpy on the clams by any stretch of the imagination and my lobster was cooked to perfection. Like I said, the food is awesome, but the atmosphere is more of a fish market that has some booths. I would definitely recommend it for some fresh and delicious sea food.

    we thought it would be prudent to have something to eat before heading to newport winery, so I did a quick search on yelp and found this place. Based on reviews we went for the items people loved. I got the New England clam chowder and added the crab cakes to the deal. My husband got the lobster roll. We are early enough in the season that it wasn't too busy so we decided to sit down for our meal. Our food came very fast, in under 10 minutes. This place does not skimp on the lobster roll. It was a big roll filled with a ton of lobster meat. It tasted delicious. The clam chowder was incredibly tasty, and I'm normally not a fan of chowder. I didn't like all the potatoes in the chowder but overall excellent. The crab cakes were fried goodness. Cooked to order, i ate them up and occasionally dipped a bite into the chowder. This place is a definite local gem. If you want fresh seafood to go, they've got quite the selection too.

    We had the mussel lemon butter over pasta, fish n chip, and a stuffed quahog. The stuffed Quahog was too salty for us, but the other dishes were oh so delicious and satiating to the point we had to take some back to the hotel. The pasta came with an immense amount of mussel which was quite satisfying. The fish and chip was perfectly fried and the cole slaw as fresh as can be. We each had drinks and the total came out to only $31! Funny thing is, they do not accept tip, or at least they don't require it. This turned out to be unfortunate because their service was so prompt and courteous that I felt the waiters deserved a new system which allows them to accept tips.

  • Marbles L.

    Great seafood restaurant! Everything is fresh and very reasonably priced. Steamers were all meaty and flavorful, I always leave wanting more. The clam cakes were adorable! They come out piping hot; despite being deep fried, they were not greasy. You can taste the clam juice in the clam cakes, and see actual clam bits in them. Clam chowder is very heavy - in a good way. It's a cup of ocean goodness, you get mouthful after mouthful of delicious clams and potatoes. Try dunking the clam cake into the clam chowder! The stuffies were delicious, its mixed with chourice and clam and other mouthwatering ingredients. You can get a mild one or a spicy one, and both are great addition to your meal. I come here every time I visit Rhode Island!

    Worst seafood I have ever eaten. Family all has stomach aches right now. Breaded fish tasted horribly bad. Stuffed sole was all breading with a thin layer of sole around it. Clam fritters or whatever they were, all breading. Can't believe the line at this place for such horrible seafood. Take your chances, but as for me I would rather eat a McDonald's fillet of fish any day-it is that bad!

    This spot is pretty flipping awesome. I'm on vacation and found it through Yelp as the highest rated local restaurant. I live in Virginia Beach, also a touristy area, and I saw it was also a seafood market which locked in the deal. My Dad and I were enthralled we found such a gem. It's such a busy local spot they request you order before if you dine in because as someone that put in several years in the industry it takes *forever* for people to eat lobster and crab legs. The staff isn't crazy friendly so don't get your panties in a bunch about that; they mean business so give this place a shot. Chances are you won't regret it. Pros-Short wait time, 1 and 2 lb lobster, extremely reasonable market prices, beer & wine selection, a very tasty meal altogether Cons-No servers just bussers (self-service), mosquitos outside during the evening dining hours, no full bar After trying hard to find a local spot I'm ecstatic Yelp led me to them...thank you both for your impeccable service! I even searched for and discovered a Yelp sticker bc I knew it had to be there!

    I used to hate Anthony's. I used to refuse to go in. That's because I used to hate seafood, even the thought of the smell of it. Now, I love seafood. Naturally, I love Anthony's! Anthony's is great for many reasons. The best.. is that you can buy fresh fish to take home and cook (I come in at least once a week to get my fish for the week). OR you can sit in the restaurant part and order cooked seafood! The food served is delicious, and literally right off the boat. Their chicken fingers are also excellent. The atmosphere is beachy, laid back, and family fun.. especially for a big lobster dinner! In the summer, it does get crowded and you may have to wait for a table. But it is so worth it! I highly recommend coming in for a meal, or to get your fresh fish to cook up at home!

    Amazing, fresh, perfectly-cooked seafood with generous portions. The fried stuff wasn't overly battered or greasy (but greasy nonetheless; it's fried after all) and the steamed stuff wasn't overcooked, so no rubbery clams or anything. The seafood was just so fresh. Definitely worth a visit or two!

    review for lobster only. Quahog, fried whole belly clams, fish chowder Skip. They're good but not great. And not good enough to order again. But the lobster. WOW. 2lb lobster meal deal is an amazing deal for those with a big appetite. Lobster is juicy and delicious. No gimmicks done - just really good local lobster that Newport is privileged to have. Just get an extra lobster if you're thinking about ordering the appetizers. You won't regret it.

    I've been going to Anthony's restaurant and market for the past 16 years. Long before it was rated as Best Seafood in RI!! Truly, they do have the best lobster roll on the planet. And I grew up spending every summer on the Cape! A nice bun toasted and split open, with a full lobster cut into large chunks with light mayo and nothing else! Exactly what a lobster role should be! The side of cole slaw is excellent and a great way to get the veggies you need- and the fries are excellent too. I usually order an extra coleslaw, instead of fries. After all- summer means the beach, swimsuits ... The fried clams are also excellent done in a nice light batter. But heh- you're in New England, so don't even dream of ordering clam "strips"! Get the fried clam dinner plate, with clam bellies- yum. In the winter the clams tend to be small, so check before ordering or you'll be eating mostly batter. Steamed mussels are also great, and can be bought in the market as well for dishes you want to try at home. I have great respect for Anthony's. It is the very best of no frills seafood- so don't miss it!! Be prepared for long lines in season, but it is worth the wait.

    Excellent seafood market and restaurant. The fish is so fresh. The staff is so nice. Reasonably priced.

    I don't understand the hype. Yes the Portuguese Fish Chowder was excellent. The rest was all below par, we had king pau calamari, the Shore Meal ( mussels and steamers) and the baked scallops. The seafood didn't seem fresh to us, the mussels almost tasteless. We had to wait nearly 30 mins for the meal, at 8pm on a Wednesday. The food isn't good enough to warrant the wait. My advice, run in for a scoop of one of the soups and skoot.

    This is my first review after using Yelp for a couple of years. I'm lazy. If you are expecting a fancy seafood restaurant, this is not the place. However, if you are like me and want to find the local fare at what the locals are paying, this is the place! This is an amazing seafood restaurant! Do yourself a favor and bring everyone, including yourself, to this place and enjoy a simple yet amazing experience.

    The stuffed clams were all breadcrumbs. The lobster rolls were half empty, freezing cold and the bread wasn't buttered. The market price for their lobster roll was priced higher than most places in downtown Newport! Not worth the trip.

    Portuguese chowder was to die for spicy lots of seafood and delicious. I made the mistake of ordering the tuna (medium rare) it was very dry and way over done. I tried but honestly couldn't eat it so asked for a rare piece. After 20 minutes it came back medium I gave up and just ate it. Probably safer to stick to the chowder and fried entrees my husband had the calamari which he said was not bad (not great though). Not sure what DDD was raving about but I can say I tried it and probably wont go back.

  • Jennifer And Craig D.

    Stopped in for lunch yesterday...even in the off season at 2PM place was still busy. Cannot imagine the lines during peak season. This said, the staff was great, they work well together to take care of the customer. Food was also good, with the exception of NO LOBSTER ROLLS my wife was devastated! She had fish tacos instead, and said they were excellent! I am a landlubber, so I had a burger....but as my landlubber counterparts will know getting a good burger at a predominately seafood joint is like finding a unicorn! Gotta say it was at least a horse with small horns LOL. Burger was great and fries cooked to perfection. Definitely a place to stop when in the area.

    All I can say is their stuffie is the greatest! I am not a seafood fan per se but honestly try a stuffie and you are hooked. My wife loves the clam chowder and she is a snob when it comes to chowda.

  • Shane M.

    Awesome lobster roll!!! Nothing fancy just amazing seafood. I wanted my last meal in Newport to be a memorable one and Anthony's did not disappoint. We started out with the calamari which was fantastic. The fish tacos were really good the sauce is really good. The lobster roll was the best I've had huge chunks of lobster and full of flavor. Right around the corner from Newport vineyards I highly recommend this place!!!

  • Mel T.

    YUMMMYYY. I loveee chowda and clam cakes whenever I visit RI. I was in Newport and had to yelp a location that sold clam cakes. Saw the great reviews and ratings for anthonys so we decided to give it a try and omg thank goodness for YELP! 2 orders of Clam cakes, 3 bowls of new England clam chowder, 3 stuffies and kung pao calamari was our order. I think the bill came out to 40 something bucks. Which is not bad! The kung pao calamari was chosen by default.. because we saw the "Best Calamari" vote by that one dude that travels around the U.S and eats a buncha food. Yummmm it was so good.. definitely different! Since that visit, I've been telling everyone to go to Anthonys and whats funny is all the RI residents I know arent aware of Anthonys! I will definitely be coming back next time! :)

    We saw mixed reviews on Yelp about Anthony's Seafood Restaurant, but decided to give it a shot anyway. You have to understand the culture. There are two lines. One (left) is for people who wish to sit in the restaurant, and the other is for take out/pick-up orders. You need to be prepared to w.a.i.t. It's VERY popular! We had planned to dine in but when we saw the line, we changed our minds and decided to place an order for take-out. In reality, it probably saved us about 20 minutes. I would highly recommend calling in your order (the menu is online) because it will save you a lot of time. Anthony's is also a seafood market, and while we were on line waiting, we read the very expansive menu. I glanced over at the fish in the glass case and noticed that it was very, very fresh. I ordered the highly-acclaimed Portuguese Fish Chowder and it was indeed a winner. Perfectly spiced (not too hot), shrimp, fish, chorizo and potatoes in a heavenly creamy soup. I also dined on some of the freshest swordfish I have ever enjoyed. It came with a choice of butter garlic or pesto sauce; I asked for both. Yum. My companion ordered the Stuffies (stuffed quahogs), one mild and one hot. I thought they were more breading than they needed to be. His Stuffed Shrimp dinner was very tasty. Not terribly impressed with the Garlic Mashed Potatoes; they had an odd taste. The Side Salad is pretty basic: iceberg lettuce with grated carrots on top. My companion never received the Cole Slaw that came with his meal. This is a good choice and the prices are not out of sight. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could.

  • Kelsey K.

    Get the Portuguese chowder or the RI chowder and the stuffies. Had the salmon burger-mediocre, but I think this was more of an ordering mistake on my part-after sitting there for awhile, became clear that the regulars were there for the chowder and fried goodies and lobster. Not really a sit-down dinner. Order at the counter, then sit down. There are a few alcoholic bottled beverages to choose from, but root beer is my go-to beverage of choice for this fare!

  • Janice P.

    Great food for a great price. First time, I ordered a lobster roll with clam chowder, stuffed quahog, and calamari (I ate with a group of friends :p) - the lobster roll, calamari, and quahog was good. Chowder was eh, not something I would order next time because.....the LOBSTER is AMAZING. I just ordered that the second time I went because if the lobster roll was good, then the lobster itself must be delicious. And it was...the best lobster I've ever eaten within the tri-state area. It was perfectly boiled and cut so you can easily eat it! The market price for it ranges from $19 and $22 from the two times I went. The wait time was around twenty minutes for dinner and the food came out at a reasonable time. The people working there (I wouldn't say waiters since they only deliver and clean up the food. Also you order first and you sit at any available tables) My only complaints: The water is not what I am used to in NYC; it may be Rhode Island water though, not too sure. It tastes like seawater, just not salty. The restaurant itself is not so bad although its a little lacking in decor for such great food. However, I would not take a star away just because of these reasons. ;)

    I stayed in Middletown and wanted to find a place that wasn't your usual chain place so we decided to give this place a try. The place is not for everyone. Yes you wait in line to pay for your food, then you wait some more to be seated then wait some more to get your food. It's how the place runs and we didn't mind it at all. Of course we came around 2 or so and the place was not too packed. We ordered the fried calamari and the stuffie ( I think that's what they are called) and the NE clam chowder. The clam chowder was a tad bland but overall good no flour taste. The fried clams were amazing! And the stuffie to die for! I wanted more! It was by far the best part of our meals. The hostess was so kind and welcoming. Will revisit if we come back to Middletown.

  • Renata A.

    Very disappointing. Basic food. Tasteless food. And I had to go to ask if my food was ready after 25 minutes. Why do you want your clients to order before sitting if you are going to take that long to serve?

  • Jo A.

    This place is a godsend. There's a reason why this place has so many positive reviews and don't let the idiotic 1 and 2 star reviews deter you. They were probably left by the type of people who like their steak well done and who complain about waiting in line. Well, what do you expect when you're as popular as Anthony's? I ordered both fried and fresh items. Let me tell you, Anthony's absolutely SHINES with the fresh seafood. There is nothing more perfect than coming with friends and getting ice cold Blue Moons and trays and trays of raw little neck clams. If you want to know what a sea jewel tastes like, order the clams. The oysters were so fresh too, and they literally went down like water. The lobster was so perfectly cooked and super juicy. We also ordered the Kung Pao calamari which was the perfect way to end our meal. Nah, we ended our meal with another round of raw clams. The staff is so friendly and they made fun of us for ordering 4 dozen clams between 2 girls but it was all in good fun. I went twice in the 2 days I stayed in RI and if I could I would have gone there 2 more times, but we had to give other places a try =P By the way, get there before 5pm to avoid the mad rush of people and long waits.

    Portuguese chowder is delicious. Creamy and broth chowders are good. Stuffies have too much stuff and not enough clams and the hot ones are better than the mild. Lobster roll was very good but pricey at $22. Clams and chorizo with linguine was delicious. All service comes with a smile. On the whole just average to good.

  • Yangy L.

    My fiancé brought me a lobster roll from here and it was possibly ZEEEEE BEST LOBSTAH ROLL I'VE EVER HAD, RAWRRR! The lobster meats were chunky and juicy. I love the fact that they don't put too much mayo on the lobster, so you can taste the freshness of the meat. I definitely want to return one day and try their other offerings.

  • Melanie R.

    Delicious, fresh! Lobster roll was sweet and light. Fisherman's platter was super fresh and tender. Would definitely return. Yum!! There was a guy there who's from South Carolina to purchase seafood for his company. This is where he eats!

    Fresh tasty little necks! - Just to start. I have eaten here twice and both time were awesome! The chowder blows my mind every time! Spicy, creamy chock full of seafood I want to eat it all day long! Order & pay at the counter. The fish tacos were amazing! Big portion of fish you may have to use your fork with these. The staff are so friendly and quick. Anthony's is always busy! Check out the fresh seafood counter! This place is impressive.

  • Margie S.

    Anthony's is the local fresh seafood place on Aquidneck Ave. snot hints has been featured in diners drive-ins and Dives. The seafood is as fresh as you can get. They offer prepared food with a homemade touch. There known for there stuffies, chowder and lobster rolls!! I have been going to Anthony's for years for fresh seafood and there famous stuffies. Soooo goood!!! The fresh fish is perfect for a quick easy meal . Prices are about the same everywhere on the island. You know your getting the best. The attached restaurant is great! You order at the counter take a seat and they'll come around and serve you. It's a very casual environment do don't get all dressed up. Comfy clothes to enjoy your amazing meal. Oh yes!! Calamari is a must try! One of my favorites. My daughter will be visiting soon and this will be a first on the list. We will surf the area for seafood meals the 8 days she's here. :)

    Great Food. Great Service. Very Cool place to enjoy dinner. In fact the only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is a bit of a tourist trap in respect to their prices.

  • steve b.

    Wow. Oh wow... the perfect seafood lunch and a great dive. Order at the counter, take a number, they deliver it to your table. I started with a plain bowl of incredibly fresh mussels with just a side of (barely used) butter. Then I had what was probably the best salmon sandwich I've ever had. Perhaps because I've never had it with a slice of cheese? Substituted corn on the cob for the fries. Just perfect. Definitely worth a drive. Looks like it can get packed and overwhelmed at peak hours.

    Ordered Steamed Mussles with Pasta along with other dishes. Half the mussels were not boiled enough that it smelled rotten and slimey. The mussels wouldn't come off the shell. Really disappointed coming all the way from New York after seeing good reviews of this place. I gave it 3 stars because the Portuguese chowder was the only tasty thing on the menu!

    Ok. So before you fellow Yelpers go off on me about dining somewhere that was featured on DDD, give me a chance to explain myself. It's not Michelin, it's not hipster, but it is what you would expect from a seafood shack. Dated decor, and an old school feel near the water is what this place is all about. Also you know it's gonna be good when they have a seafood market in house. I will say that the restaurant is run efficiently and one thing I loved about the place is the ordering system. Before you enter and go on lkne, it clearly states that you must order your food first before claiming a table. Even though it's busy, it never felt crowded and people micromanaging your lunch experience waiting for your table to open up. Another thing that's great are the prices! With the exception of the fisherman and lobster products, everything is under 10 bux! Portions are huge as well. Lobster items were at market price. On to the food. Started off with the clam chowder. Nice creamy, briney, and full of seafood goodness. I think next visit is love to try the fish chowder. Next we had the stuffies, this was a stuffed quahog with chorizo stuffing. Quahog for you non new England peeps are clams. Nice and flavorful with a nice kick from the stuffing. This was my wife's fav thing. We then had the calamari. They serve it in a non traditional way but was truly delicious and different with a kung Pao sauce with fried hot peppers and peanuts! This was my favorite item of our visit! The sweet spicy and crunch of the calamari was awesome! Finally, we ended with the lobster roll. For a 24 dollar market price, it better deliver and boy it did! Large chunks of lobster piled on a perfectly toasted bun, meat dressed perfect. The texture and the hot and cold combo made this visit even more memorable. If you are in the Newport area and want a good meal for a good price. This is the spot for you!

    Good seafood, but I wasn't blown away. If you're looking for a nice relaxing meal, this is not the place. I arrived around 6pm on a Saturday. There was a line out the door. We waited about 30 min. Once you get to the front of the line you place your order with the cashier, and then take a seat. Your food is later brought to your table by high school students in gym shorts. The food is great, and portions are large. I had NE clam chowder. It was very filling. Thick with a lot of clams. My boyfriend got the Portuguese fish chowder. Also, very delicious. Our food came out quickly. I got the stuffed shrimp. I found the stuffing to be a little dry, but the sides and shrimp itself were great. If you're only in town for a few nights, you can pay the same amount to get a comparable meal at a nice restaurant in Newport.

  • Jaclyn C.

    Such good seafood. The lobster roll was perfect. The clam strips were perfect. So were the crab cakes. My favorites were probably the clam chowders. They were delicious. Even the French fries were perfect. The dipping sauces for the strips and crab cakes were really good too. The place is consistently crowded and no wait the two times we went in.

  • Kevin W.

    Arguably the best (no-frills) seafood in Newport - hands down! Honestly, this place is the bomb.com/forrealzthough !! Have been here a few times now with friends and always impressed. The stuffies are awesome and a must-have! Fish and chips are also a good choice. I was craving crab tonight and was throughly impressed with the way they were cooked.

  • Andrew G.

    Great local joint for sea food! Wide variety of options between fish, chowda, clam cakes, shrimp, ect. The staff was friendly and the place was cozy! Definitely worth making the trip! I definitely recommend the chowda and clam cakes, but be careful because it'll fill you up before the meal comes out.

    There's a place called "J's Crab Shack" back home in the greater Hartford area, which until now, I thought was the bees' knees. Or should I say the crabs' knees? Whatever... don't judge me and my old lady expressions. To use an actually relevant expression - Anthony's torpedoes our usual place out of the water. I can't exactly pinpoint the reason that the fried seafood here is so much better. Does the proximity of Anthony's to the source result in a fresher product? Are they just better cooks? Perhaps a combination of both. Wherever the magic may come from, Anthony's is just better seafood for better prices than everyone else. Our order: A large chowder, a 6-ounce clam strips with fries, a 6-ounce scallops with fries, and two sodas. All that came to $29, a great deal for a two person seafood meal. And the plates were really pleasantly large. I could not imagine ordering the available 12-ounce portions... unless you bring a friend. The fresh seafood shop is impeccably kept as well. Taking it all together, the difference between Newport seafood and Hartford seafood is palpable, and measurable.

  • Chelsea S.

    Love this place to sit down, or to pick up fresh items for dinner. You can make a whole meal from their market - stuffies, soups, bread, condiments... and super fresh seafood.

  • Melissa B.

    Fantastic local spot. You enter thru a fish market and order at a counter. Very laid back and super nice people working there. I had the best lobster roll of my life there! And clam chowder that was to die for! The lobster roll was on a traditional roll that kinda looks like a cross between a folded over slice of bread and a hot dog bun. The lady who worked there said it had 1.5 pounds of lobster on it - so imagine a small roll with lobster falling over the sides. It had the right amount of mayo - just enough so it wasn't dry but you could still taste the lobster. So glad this place was recommended to me - it was fantastic and I'll go back every time I'm in town! Oh, and market price for lobster was $22.

    At first I assumed it was going to be a tourist trap due to the publicity, I was very wrong. One of the best stuffed quahog's I have ever had and the clams/clam cakes/clam chowder was great! If you are in or around Newport/Middletown, check Anthony's out! (Flo's Clam Shack is not bad but I honestly think this place is a good deal better!)

  • Mitch W.

    On the way home from Providence to Holyoke, MA, we decided to try Anthony's Seafood Restaurant and it was very good! It's a good size restaurant and very typical interior of the diner type style. You order at the counter, then your food is brought to your table (by number...kind of like Carl's Jr.). I had the regular breading clam strips (Strips of sea clams, no bellies it says on the menu) with fries and it was a good size portion (I got the 6oz portion for $7.95) and asked for a few more french fries instead of coleslaw. The clam strips were tender and fried a nice golden brown. I enjoyed my lunch! The restaurant was nearly full the Sunday (lunchtime) we went. I would definitely recommend Anthony's for anyone who wants some seafood! Please see my pictures! Xie Xie!!

  • Shauna G.

    When venturing to a new place, I am always in search of whatever "the thing" to eat is. I asked a local Rhode Islander (Rhode Islandee? Rhode Islandian?" and they responded "stuffies." Not wanting to lose my foodie cred, I smiled, said "of course!" and then hurriedly googled "stuffies." I'd like to thank Anthony's Seafood for my introduction to stuffies (AKA quahogs, thank you Google) - a delicious, baked stuff clam full of bread crumbs, seasoning and possibly a hidden vegetable or two. And I'd hardly be satisfied to only try one thing on the menu, so the Kung Pao Calamari and some chowder it was! All were great. If I could offer one critique, it would be that the calamari was a little less breaded. But hey, I'm on vacation, right? BONUS! I'm not sure if it's there all the time, but there was a little local produce stand outside the restaurant/store with a wonderfully, pleasant gal working there. Their apples were delicious!

    Delicious! We ordered the Fisherman's Platter and the Kung Pao Calamari and both were awesome, although way too much food for two people. I HIGHLY recommend the Kung Pao Calamari.... like can't say enough about it. Definitely a unique item among a standard deep fried seafood. Not to say the platter wasn't also delicious! They also have a pretty killer selection of local brews (bottles only). I would go here over the other options on the island for sure. The only thing holding back from a 5-star is the location. A waterview would make it perfect.

    Wow! Absolutely awesome--everything was great! I had a spicy stuffy as my app (amazing, even though it had a toothpick remnant in it--watch out! lol..don't worry though, it wasn't in someone's mouth. they put them in before they cook them and are supposed to take them out), and for my entree had the baked stuffed shrimp with a salad and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was so delicious! And the manager was so nice, he brought over some awesome sorbet at the end of our meal for free (he apologized for the toothpick a ton and I seriously would not let that deter you at all from coming here). The line is long, yes...but it is SO worth it! If I lived in RI I'm pretty sure I'd go there weekly!

    Outstanding! The food is very fresh and we all enjoyed everything we ordered both times we were in the area. I'll eat there every time I'm anywhere near Middleton. It's a very casual atmosphere, but don't let that fool you. The food is as good as you'll get at a white tablecloth place. One important tip, however. One time we went at 6:30 on a Friday and the line to order was extremely long. We left and came back about 10 minutes before they closed and got in and ordered right away. Go late if you can, but check when they close first because it is relatively early.

    Great food! The NE clam chowder was amazing. When I showed up, the line was forty feet out the door. That usually one of two things...slow service or awesome food. The line was that long clearly due to the awesome food. The clam strips tasted really fresh and portions were pretty big. My got the swordfish steak plate... he was blown away. I was definitely come back before I leave the area.

    Portuguese fish chowder = amazing. Get it! Stuffie (stuff quahog/clam) = Kind of dry. Wasn't crazy about it. I had the lobster special (two lobsters with combined weight of 3lbs and corn on a cob) for $28 = Great deal. Fresh and delicious. No waiter service but staff deliver food, supply utensils, and clean as you go. Casual environment. TIP: If you're just ordering for take-out, there's a different line inside.

    We had good expectations for Anthony's. Having just moved to Newport, we've heard Anthony's mentioned several times as a good "local" place for seafood. So, we went there last night. When we first arrived, the line was out the front door, but it moved surprisingly quickly and the greeter who was handing out menus had a smile on her face. It took us about 20-25 minutes to get to the ordering counter. After deliberating over the extensive menu, the four adults in my party ordered meals including 2 lobster dinners. My young daughter ordered mac-n-cheese. Luckily, we found a table inside because it was very packed and many people were eating outside at picnic tables. We settled into our table and ate our clam chowder, which was decent, but nothing to write home about. I have two young kids including a baby and they kept themselves entertained while we continued to wait for our food.... we were talking and not really noticing the time when it suddenly struck me that we had been waiting a long time. I looked at the time stamp on my receipt and it showed that we had ordered 40 minutes prior and our food still wasn't out. We asked the manager (maybe he's the owner?) where our food was. He checked with the kitchen and came back a minute later to tell us that his cook staff had accidentally cooked a pregnant lobster and so they had to recook another one for us. So I asked, "Does that mean our other food has been sitting under heat lights this whole time?" He said, "No, we recooked everything." When our food came out it was clear that they had not recooked anything. My daughter's mac-n-cheese was hot in some spots and cold in other spots (and it tasted awful by the way). One of the lobsters had been sitting under heat lamps and was totally overcooked and rubbery. The second lobster was..... get ready for it.... pregnant. Yes, there were hundreds of eggs all over the underside of the lobster. This baffled us as we were informed that the pregnant lobster was the entire reason our order had to be recooked in the first place! So, we sent the second lobster back and another lobster was out in about 2 minutes that the manager had "stole from another order" as he put it. That last lobster was the only thing on our table that was fresh. The dinner was ruined. Our children, who had been patient for 40 minutes while we waited had reached their limit and were fussy as we ate our heat lamp baked food. Additionally, one person in our party used the restroom before dinner and informed the front desk that the bathroom was out of paper towels. We used the restroom after dinner and they still had not restocked the paper towels and there was only enough toilet paper left on the roll for maybe 2-3 more patrons. One person in our party actually is a restaurant manager and was quite surprised that the manger of Anthony's did not offer to do something for us considering how long we waited for our meal and the screw up in the kitchen (or the cover up in the kitchen??) as we have a sneaking suspicion that the cooks served the pregnant lobster knowing exactly what they were doing as that lobster should have been discarded immediately after recognizing the error (as the manager told us it was). Needless to say, we were not only unimpressed but downright disgusted by the service and food at Anthony's and will not be going back.

    this place is great. Stopped by for dinner while in the area for a couple days. It's pretty casual, but the food is great. Try the Portugese Seafood Chowder!

  • Teresa H.

    LOVE this place. Portuguese chowder!!!! We ordered the app of Portuguese chowder (after reading another review about how good it was) with clam cakes. It was so spot on. I had lobster roll..it was perfect. Hubby had shrimp cocktail, you can't really mess that up, it was good too. I can say we have been back several times and I always have to get the Portuguese chowder!

    It isn't often that the hype turns out to be accurate, but this restaurant is worth every great review that it's gotten. Start with the New England Clam Chowder; Creamy, rich, and chock full of clams. Then on to the Kung Pao Calamari; spicy, sweet, tender squid, fried to a crisp without being the least bit greasy or over breaded. Fresh oysters, from a variety of places; sweet, briny, and so wonderfully full of flavor. I was stuffed and in seafood heaven. But there was more! Fried fresh belly clams, something I just can't get "back home." The 6oz portion ($13) was more than generous, and again, although breaded and fried, the clams retained their individual flavors and were not overwhelmed by the breading nor the frying process. Served with a choice of a side, and decent coleslaw. My table mates had the scallops and all I heard were ooohs and aaahs. They also had the corn on the cob which they insist is the best anywhere. They come here often, but as an occasional visitor to this wonderful state, this was my first visit, thought I know it won't be my last.

  • Mike S.

    The atmosphere is a run down shed, eating on paper plates w/ thin plastic utensils.. Seafood is not as fresh I had expected it to be based on reviews. Their menu mainly consists of deep fried seafood. I had the shore dinner and was disappointed. Lobster was unremarkable. Steamers / mussels where grimey / sandy. Clams fishy.

  • Dave Q.

    Excellent service. My back was killing me and I asked the manager for a bag of ice and he happily got it for me. This allowed me to sit and enjoy the good food. Lobster. Clam chowder. Alaskan crab legs. Totally awesome. Fun place and packed with people. Good job on getting a table quickly. Service was good

  • Josh H.

    Eh. Overhyped. Wife ordered a two pound lobster and loved the lobster claws. Tail was way overcooked I ordered Portuguese chowder which was awesome Ordered the seafood Nantucket with green beans and garlic mashed. Cooks put waaaaaayyyy too much dill in the Nantucket and ruined it. Could not be eaten. For the price there are a dozen much better seafood places in the area. We won't return. Can't win em all. Good chowdah though.

    Delicious, fresh, no frills seafood. Came here for lunch. When you first walk in, all you see is fish, upon fish, upon more fish. The fresh filets and shrimp and scallops and oysters (etc.) are displayed in all their glory, and available to purchase. You then walk to the counter, where you order, and then seat yourself. I of course had the Lobster Roll, and it was delicious. It was full of fresh lobster, and that's all you tasted. Not like most lobster rolls where the lobster is masked by overly-generous additions of Mayo. The french fries are incredible, especially with malt vinegar. Thank you for supplying that. My favorite part may have been the Rhode Island Style Chowder, though. It was absolutely delicious, full of potatoes, clams and fresh herbs. Mmmm. Can't get anything like this food in Jersey. sigh.

  • Rich L.

    Lot's of reviews here, so I'll stay on-point. Food is good (read below though), personnel are pleasant, prices reasonable. That being said, the food is spotty. Littleneck clams were fresh and delicious. Portuguese fish chowder was quite good. Stuffies are OK and I think overrated (mostly filler). Tuna sandwich was amazingly good (get it rare!). Fish tacos are fried fish (Huh?!) so I would stay away from that (we were not asked how we wanted the fish prepared). Fried clams and calamari were great! Somewhat surprisingly they don't have a good cocktail sauce or tartar sauce -- which is very odd since they're a seafood place and those are easy to make and have very few ingredients (they're hard to mess up!). Finally, avoid the clam cakes, as they were scarce on the clams, to say the least. Overall, a good place, but spotty.

    SO GOOD. I had my first ever lobster roll here, and now I think i've set the bar too high. Its located off the beaten path of newport, but definitely worth the travel time. Also, this place is BUSY, we were lucky enough to get a table and not have to wait at all. (You order up front---THEN, get a seat) Definitely a must try, so try!

    This place is a fish market store/restaurant... The food is amazing, lobster out of control!! 4 stars instead of 5 because of the service, but overall this place is very good. Thanks yelp for the recommendation.

  • Joanna K.

    After reading many reviews we had to order the Portuguese fish chowder; it was a little too much spice for my taste, my boyfriend enjoyed it though. We loved the Rhode Island chowder, it was so flavorful- a good spin on New England clam chowder. I added the clam cakes on the side and we dipped them in the chowder, it was to die for!! I only wish we ordered more. We also ordered Crab cakes and Mussels with butter which were delicious. I didn't think the Fried Calamari was anything special, it had a nice crisp to it but I've definitely had better. They also had a lot of locally brewed beers, we tried the Newport Storm Seasonal Ale and really enjoyed it. Service was great, it was busy but it was definitely worth the wait.

    The Portuguese chowda was amazing and I never had anything like that before. Love their crab cakes and stuffed quahogs. Food was incredible and service was amazing despite it being very crowded. I highly recommend this place, their seafood is second to none. I will be back again for sure!

  • Kevin S.

    We chose this place for lunch based on its excellent reviews here and we're not disappointed. The lobster roll was delicious - light dressing and a toasted bun, perfection. We also had a few spicy stuffies, which were big, moist, and we're just the right amount of hot. Would definitely come here again!

  • Crissy H.

    When in the area - go to any restaurant that is mentioned on Food TV - at least that is my BF motto. So when we got here we had to try everything that was highly recommended by the show/YELP. We had the Kung Pao Calamari - which was amazing. It wasn't overly fried and it has just the right amount of spicy with a overlay of sweetness. We then had the Lobster Roll which was also very good. I loved that they were not cheap on the lobster like some other sandwiches I have had in the past. Nice big chucks and not too much mayo. We also really loved the salty fried that came with the dish. They were so finger licking good, that we kept on eating even though we were both about to burst from all the food that we ate!

  • Fred M.

    For exactly what it is, it couldn't be much better. Very tasty RI chowder, although heavy on the potatoes and light on the clams. Delicious stuff quahogs with great stuffing. Very light delicious fried clam bellies without the usual greasy aftertaste. Crisp fresh terrific fries. Outstanding bat scallops, sweet but not one dimensional. Great selection, great service, attention to detail and high quality. Anthony's is just a great spot for old fashioned simple seafood.

  • Joshua E.

    Lobster ROLL all the way! This place had the best lobster roll I've had in the New England area. It was GANGSTER! On top of that I also have had the lobster, which was cooked and prepared to perfection. I would definitely come back for more. Price is very reasonable for the quality you get.

  • N Y.

    The food was great! Had the stuffed clam, Portuguese chowder, and fried fish. The clam was very filling and cutely presented, the chowder was amazing, and the fish was good but maybe a little more fish to the fish to fry ratio. Great place.

  • Terri V.

    Very disappointed. All locals seem to love this place. It is located in a run down barn - looking place. We were not allowed to be seated until we ordered. Food was not any better than Long John Silvers but way more expensive. Will not go back.

  • Chuck L.

    As you walk in, the fish market greets you. Turn to the right for food - eat in or to go. Place your order, receive a number and select a table. My wife ordered the Seafood Nantucket and I the Codfish Fish and Chips (until reading the menu, I never knew that Cod is thicker than Flounder). For drinks, soda along with selected bottled beer and wine are available. Pre-chilled pitchers of water are also available. Our food came out timely for what we ordered; no indication of having been prepared ahead of time. Portions were just enough to satisfy a hungry couple looking for some decent seafood. Outdoor seating (picnic tables) is seasonal. Not an intimate setting, but a nice place for family of all ages. There are other items we want to come back and try.

  • David D.

    The concierge at our hotel recommended this place. By "concierge" I mean the teenage girl who works the night shift. And by "hotel" I mean Travelodge. We liked the fact that they have a refrigerated showcase exhibiting all the fresh seafood that will be turned into your order. They have a nice selection of local beer as well. It seems like it's a good place for locals to drag their annoying families to for a reasonably priced meal in a relaxed environment. Their fish tacos were bland and disappointing. Ever taste a fish taco being made by a Messican in Baja, the Yucatan, or even San Diego? Well it's just like that except the opposite. Your cod or flounder is stuck in a cold flour (not corn) tortilla, with some Pace Picante slapped on top. Voilà -- Rhode Island fish tacos. No fresh cilantro, no lime wedges, no pico de gallo, no ranchero or verde sauces, and no fresh crema. Now as a Good Samaritan so kindly pointed out, you wouldn't go to a Chinese restaurant and order Fettuccine Alfredo, so why would you go to New England and order fish tacos? Point taken. My only retort would be that Good Samaritan has never had a stubborn ladyfriend. The cod fish & chips were also forgettable. Wow, this review comes across quite cunty. Lemme end on a positive note... The standout was the Portuguese fish chowder. Mildly spicy, delicious and definitely worth ordering.

    The place is ok, needs to improve though. Food: We had salmon, tuna dinner, and fish and chips. The first two were dry, the last was very good! Service: The guy at the cashier was a kid who could barely answer our questions about the seafood. Throughout the meal, no one came to ask us how are we doing. Prices: Somewhat on the higher side, but portions were large.

  • Jack K.

    It's a small seafood market with restaurant service! Nice place to go for a casual and laid back lunch. The lobster roll was fresh with good portion of lobster meat. The classic fried calamari was kind of plain and flat in flavors, but when combined with fried jalapeno, it was delicious! Fish & chips was fresh and crispy, but shrimp cocktail was a bit tiny. Overall, had a good meal!

  • Lily Z.

    After reading so many reviews, I had to try this place. It was TOTALLY worth it! The lobster roll at $18.50 was totally worth it! (I pay this much in NYC for 1/3 of the size!). The fries were also quite tasty. The Portuguese fish chowder was spoonful upon spoonful of creamy chowder heaven. Just the right amount of spice and packed with seafood! My dinner was so good I returned the next night for another tasty dinner. I had the 2lb steamers and the Rhode Island chowder. Again a success! The RI chowder was broth based, no cream but the perfect compliment to my meaty steamers dipped in lemon butter. Any of the items I ordered are highly recommended...only tip: if you're ordering takeout, call ahead or else you're waiting a good 15-20 minutes for your food.

  • Jo C.

    We saw this restaurant at Yelp with such high rating, so decided to give it a try. The place was busy, but didn't wait long to order food. We ordered the NE clam chowder, Portuguese fish chowder, Kung Pow style friend calamari, fried scallops and seafood platter. Overall, everything was very good especially the fried scallops!! I would order separate fried orders next time instead of ordering the platter. There were a lot shrimps and small scallops there but not so much clams.

  • Peter G.

    I'm a Boston native and spent a lot of vacations in Cape Cod and Rhode Island. This is one of the best seafood places you will dine in Southern New England. Try the "stuffies" and the Portuguese Clam Chowder. Actually, try anything! I've never gotten a bad piece of fish or seafood from this place. It is simply outstanding! Whether you get take-out, visit the seafood market, or dine-in: it's the real deal.

    I saw this place on the food network and I had to try it. I drove almost 2hrs yet I'm real happy I did. The food is fresh and delicious and the staff is very welcoming. I'm glad I came. I'm sure I will be back before the summer ends.----

  • Diane Z.

    Maybe I tried the wrong things, but nothing stood out. The kung pao calamari was nothing special. The Portuguese fish chowder was not seasoned enough, and the fish in the chowder didn't taste that fresh. Definitely skip the clam cakes, they're just balls of salty flour. The raw oysters were shucked well, and were pretty fresh, but not amazing. The littlenecks were really fishy and not enjoyable.

  • Tulsa H.

    Food here is awesome. I was attracted assuming it were associated with Anthony's Seafood of San Diego, CA. Nevertheless, it was still good. Was here for both lunch and dinner. It's not located in the New Port, RI's tourist sites, but it was well-worth the 10 mins or so drive. Highly recommended.

  • Ed S.

    Portuguese fish chowder is amazing. The lobster roll too. No frills, top quality food. I went with my sister and am thinking about finding a new sister because a good sister wouldn't have lived in the area for three years before telling me about such a fantastic place.

    I love Seafood. I love seafood markets. I love seafood shacks. Anthony's Seafood Restaurant is all of the above. Consider me sold. Outside of Newport in the more suburban enclave of Middletown, but certainly not far from the beaches, lies this nondescript looking establishment that houses a lot of culinary wonders from under the sea. Here is what we ordered: 1) Lobster Roll - Lots of fresh, succulent and chewy tail meat (I prefer lump claw meat) crammed on a toasted roll. It was a generous portion, served with perfectly cooked fries at a not so generous price (18.99). I also prefer my Lobster roll dry, the rolls here had too much mayonnaise (vile substance). But it's a lobster roll, and I guess one shouldn't be so picky. 2) Stuffie - The definitive Rhode Island seafood snack. Here a big, fresh Rhode Island quahog is stuffed with Portuguese chorico (sausage). It was tasty and filling, but not being a stuffed quahog expert, I thought it had too little clam flavor. But at 3.95 apiece, I can't complain. 3) The Portuguese Fish Chowder. Hearty, creamy, spicy and filled with tender, flaky lumps of cod fish, and flavorful chorizo, this was the meal stealer. Easily the best chowder I had all weekend and perhaps ever. I will come back and get a bowl instead of a cup of this next time. I've had better lobster rolls and clams (but not many) in my lifetime, but this restaurant is well worth coming to if not for the phenomenal Portuguese Fish Chowder.

  • Rose L.

    Decent lobster roll with side choices. We also tried portugese chowda which was tasty. Nice combo of spice and creaminess. Also had the clambakes which are fried dough with clam flavor and some bits and also ordered 1 king crab leg which was tasty. Def worth a visit if u have a craving for seafood and are in the area and can't get out to cape cod. Only annoyance were flies that flew in with our food. They must have come in via kitchen. Otherwise decent food at ok prices.

    I ordered the lobster roll which was pretty good. I liked that is wasn't slathered in mayo. I thought it was sort of pricey for not so good fries and the atmosphere wasn't very nice. The stuffed quahog was pretty good.

  • Camy C.

    yes, what everyone says is right. this place is awesome!! I love their portuguese fish chowder - it's creamy and spicy, it's got fish (yes.. hence the name), but it's also got scallop (big pieces!!), potato, and shrimps. It's so good! I always bring back a pre-refrigerated tub of soup whenever I visit my cousin in Newport. SO GOOD! Tried lobster roll for first time in my 3rd visit. It wasn't cheap at $24 but it's got so much tail meat (none of that claw white stuff) and barely any mayo. It's really fresh and the fries are awesome too. It also comes with a cole slaw and a pickle. In the past, i have tried fish and chips (perfectly done) and fish sandwich (same as fish and chips but less than $10). I had also bought some stuffed seafood items from their counter previously and made it at home. They come with instructions and was tasty but not good enough to repeat. I'll stick with their hot food. Brought friends to this place, and they all agreed it was one of their culinary highlights of the weekend (and we ate at quite a few seafood places).

    Consider yourself very lucky if you have discovered Anthony's Seafood Restaurant. Anthony's is a carefully guarded secret by locals and a few lucky tourists. With Yelp, the secret will be out, but that's okay, everyone needs to experience the best seafood restaurant in Rhode Island. There, I said it! I'm not talking about fancy, eating lobster on a bed of couscous, overlooking the Newport Harbor. If you think eating seafood on the water enhances the experience, Anthony's will stomp all over that notion. Everyone within a five hour drive needs to get in their car right now and come get a cup of the Portuguese Fish Chowder. It's an orgy of cod, shrimp, scallops, and chourico for $4. It's kind of a big deal! The fun doesn't stop there. I can also recommend the Grilled Tuna Steak Sandwich with red pepper mayo and grilled bermuda onion for $10. OR The Lobster Salad Roll with fresh picked lobster, celery(not overpowering with crunchiness), and mayo on a grilled hot dog roll for market price ($18.50). Be warned, this roll is on steroids, so you will get your money's worth. OR You can add four clam cakes to any chowder for only $2! That's a meal alone. Unless, you're getting lobster, you can keep this meal affordable and be absolutely satisfied. Also, Anthony's doubles as a market, so you can get top quality seafood and hit the road. Good things happen to those who wait and it has taken me over twenty years of vacationing in RI to discover this gem. I'm excited that I have the remainder of my life to enjoy it.

  • Tony T.

    Came here for lunch on a weekday. Had the Portuguese fish chowder as a starter. It was spicy, and had chorizo in it. The chowder had a nice taste and was creamy. Also tried the New England clam chowder which was creamy as well but I preferred the Portuguese chowder. Had the fried oysters as an appetizer and it had a good batter that was not too heavy, and came with fries that were good. Ordered the lobster meal which came with a 2 pound lobster, 1 pound of mussels and 1 pound of steamers along with potatoes, corn and chorizo. The seafood was fresh and you could taste the sweetness of the lobster along with the freshness of the mussels and steamers. The corn and potatoes were fine and the chorizo was OK. They were out of lobster rolls when we went so maybe I will try it next time. I would definitely recommend Anthony's if you are in the Newport area.

  • Michelle B.

    I really wanted to love this place, but it didn't live up to the hype. I was in town for July 4th weekend and after many recommendations, I ended up at Anthony's. It's a bare-bones kind of place with a line out the door. The guy manning the line was really sweet and handed us ice-cold water. I was extremely grateful, since it was sweltering hot and humid outside and the line was a 30-40 minute wait. Once we actually ordered, the food came out super quick, though. I got the New England clam chowder, the calamari and the lobster roll (seasonal price, $24). I don't know. After seeing the 190+ reviews on Yelp and waiting 40 minutes to get my food, I expected something really spectacular. But maybe I shouldn't have had such high expectations. The clam chowder was the only thing that was exceptionally tasty. Everything else, unfortunately, fell short. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing bad about the food. The lobster roll and the calamari was good. Just not great. In my honest opinion, it wasn't worth the wait and the crowded, unbearably hot environment.

  • Vezna S.

    Visited here a few hours ago and have to say that I was not impressed. I was starving after driving from Boston to Newport on an empty stomach. I mention that because when I'm starving, everything tastes good and after hearing rave reviews from people I knew in Newport who ate here, I thought I was going to be in for a treat. I order their baked scrod with fries and broccoli, with fried calamari and New England clam chowder. The chowder was fantastic and thick. The clams tasted fresh and the stock was thick with meat and potatoes. I loved it! The fried calamari was.. well.. it was fried calamari. Personally I like getting the tentacles along with the body of the squid (the O shaped pieces), but there weren't any tentacles, only the O's. But it was good and had a decent portion. The Scrod which was the main dish was anything but good. It had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. The Scrod tasted like water; in other words, tasteless. Even though I squeezed all the juice out of the lemon they provided, (I think I popped a vein in my neck from squeezing so hard).. it did little to add to the flavor of the fish. The broccoli that came with it tasted like rubber but at least the fries were good. The staff had a nonchalant attitude which didn't add to the appeal of the place. Then again, they don't work for tips and they looked like high school kids so I don't blame them and it didn't negatively affect the rating. The decor was actually pretty nice, but it was sort of dark in the interior. I was there at around 7pm and it was just about dimming outside, they could have turned on the lights a little bit more. Overall, I paid 47 dollars with tip included and that's a fair deal for two people. Plenty of parking was also a factor as to why I rated it 3 stars instead of 2.

  • Bruce D.

    We saw the review on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The Rhode Island Clam Chowder was a hit for my wife and oldest daughter, who prefer the broth over a cream base. My youngest enjoyed the New England Clam Chowder. The Clam Cakes were good. We got the fried fish platter. It was also great, but we might just order individual items (e.g., clams and shrimp) in the future. The portions were large, they were fresh, and the wait was not long. Cheaper prices than what we were paying in Boston.

  • Vanessa T.

    We arrived shortly before they opened on Sunday. It was a gloomy, rainy day and I had chowder on my mind. We arrived at a good time because the place fills up quickly. I had the spicy stuffie and a cup of New England clam chowder. To wash it down, I had a glass of wine. It was filling for me! My husband had the same thing, but he opted for a local seasonal beer. We were both completely satisfied. If you desire more than the regular run of the mill lager, you can get that, but they also carry local beers. Anthony's isn't only a restaurant, but it's a fish mongrel as well. When we lived here briefly, we bought fish and other seafood from them with some frequency. I didn't realize how much we missed this place until we came back. In short, it's a no frills, watch you see is what you get sort of a place, and I love that about it.

  • Shirley W.

    Awsome food, large quantity and friendly service. I was a bit skepticle with coming here since I wasn't too crazy about Flo's which I heard was good. I shared a fisherman's platter and kung pao calamari. The fishermans platter was good. I had it with floundr and was a bit disapointed there was only one fillet of flounder and there was little scallops. The shrimp and clams were good. The kng pao calamari was extremely good. I plan on oring this one again if I'm in the area. It was loaded with dried peppers and a bit saucy. Overall the price was good for the large amount of food. My sister got a mountain of fried clam strips that cost a lot less than the fishermans platter.

  • Tia K.

    Delicious seafood, large portion for great price, and friendly service! We went the both times we visited Newport and both visits were great! We had the Fisherman's Platter, Calamari Dinner, hot Quahogs, NE and Portuguese Chowders. The fried food was cooked perfectly and the chowders are some the best ones out there. Oh yeah, we went during a busy Sunday dinner time. The wait wasn't terrible. You have to place an order first before you get seated. It seems like many customers yesterday were ordering for take out so dine-in patrons didn't have to wait long for tables. It's not too far from the Newport Mansions and there are plenty of parking spaces. If you're in the area, you should definitely check this place out! :)

    Anthony's Seafood has ruined me for any other fish market! I went in as a last resort a few weeks ago, after every other fish market I tried was out of fresh cod. I went in and bought 4 pounds of their fresh white cod and happily made my way home. While prepping and baking the cod, I knew it was going to be a great dinner. The fish was so fresh and delicious, it was like no other. Anthony's will be my only fish market now.

    Our lobster was a little overcooked, BUT I will be getting ALL of my fresh seafood from here. Service was quick. The calamari was tasty.

    Very low key, casual spot. I would love to come here during the summer if I lived in the area. Enjoy some good, cheap, seafood and some beer! Our food came out fast, and timed nicely. Appetizers: 1) 2 jumbo shrimps 2) Half a dozen raw oysters 3) Stuffed Quahog aka "Stuffie" (stuffing with clams, chourico, onions, peppers, & spice); we ordered the hot stuffie Entree: NE Mega Meal (shore dinner + 1 1/4 lobster) = $25. It had a lot of steamers & mussels considering how much it was. They didn't have corn so we got broccoli instead (we were kindly given options). The chourico in it was okay, potatoes were decent & the onions and broth were good. We also each got a beer (I had the Newport Winter Ale which I was not a fan of). So all that food + 2 beers = $50. WOW. So. Freaking. Cheap.

    Yes, this is the real thing, Excellent, fresh seafood, well-seasoned, with delicious chowders. this is how New England seafood is supposed to be. Hats off to the owner, Steve, for creating a great, casual, dining experience!

    Sucks to visit this place a day before leaving Newport for moving day, but just like Pour Judgement, it left a good memory. Take out was again the name of the game in this borderline dive that teeters between a market and restaurant. But from first taste you know you're coming back. On this nice we went for the classics including a lobster roll, calamari (plain), and Portuguese chowder. All were done up just fine. I think Anthony's would be an excellent joint for a big lunch. Yeah its away from the beach, downtown, and most other shopping, but the food is sweet. Go for it.

  • Mark F.

    Excellent clam chowder and the stuffed quahog is beyond good. You enter through the fish market so right away you know everything is fresh. Had the swordfish and they missed being perfect by an extra minute on the grill. Would try again and would recommend it

  • Anne W.

    Anthony's is just quality, fresh seafood in traditional preparations in a very relaxed atmosphere. The Portuguese seafood chowder is a standout. You can roll in here still sandy from the beach.

  • Hain L.

    Started off my New England road trip the right way with my belly full with yummy seafood! The Portuguese fish chowder was delicious with just a hint of spicy and the lobster roll was the best I've had. But I should have skipped on the clam cakes (fried dough balls with little itty bitty clam pieces - too greasy and heavy for my liking) and stuffie (it wasn't bad but i think that it's an acquired taste maybe). We got there right before the restaurant opened and were able to grab a table but the parking lot and the restaurant completely filled up by the time our food came out.

  • J P.

    Mediocre food at best. Not sure where all these "awesome" reviews are coming from. The staff looks tired and annoyed (we visited on Saturday afternoon so it was busy). Steamers were over fried. French fries are your regular frozen kind - don't expect fresh cut potatoes. No draught beer, bottled only. This is just your average fried - chip n fish kind of place nothing special.

  • D G.

    With all of the excellent reviews eating here was a big disappointment. Anthony's fried seafood is coated in a very heavy breading and served with lots of oil. So much oil I had to use many napkins to absorb the extra oil. The onion rings are not made by Anthony's but are purchased from an outside supplier, as confirmed by the Manager, and tasted like greasy cardboard. Well, at least the service was good and the Manager was honest about the onion rings not being made from scratch.

  • Marc H.

    Very disappointing after reviewing other yelpers' reviews. The scrod was pretty blah (the recommendation of our cashier) and the crab cakes didn't taste other than I the oil they were fried in. Chowder was pretty good but overall we gave it one star.

    This place is EPICALLY AMAZING....we loved it so much we went here twice during our stay in Newport!! Such a cool place with awesome laid back atmosphere and totally legit, amazing food!!! You know its going to be awesome when there is a line waiting to order...when you walk in, they have their fresh seafood counter with all the delectible fruit de mer you could want just waiting to be bought and prepared. So you have this amazing view as you browse through the menu and try and decide what you are going to eat....the first time we came here it was for dinner, and I had to have the NE clam chowder, and of course a "stuffie". My husband had a tuna steak sandwich, and everything was absolutely perfect! The chowder was some of the best I have ever had, and the stuffie was super tasty. My husband's tuna was cooked perfectly, and he loved it so much the second time we came he had the exact same thing! When we came back, it was for lunch, and I had to try the Portugese Fish Chowder and clam cakes. The fish chowder was AMAZING!! I can't say enough good things about it, in fact I bought the local cookbook they were selling there, just because it had the recipe for the fish chowder in it!! The clam cakes were also very good. The food was pretty much awesome all the way around!! I really like the atmosphere here too....unassuming, chill, unpretentious....its a nice breath of fresh air compared to some of the more stuck up, higher-end places around. We loved it! Anthony's has also been featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, which I thought was pretty cool as well. Anyway, I would recommend this place to anyone, and this will be the first place we go for food if we are ever back in the area. If you like good, solid, awesome seafood, this is for sure the right place!!

    I was sitting in my hotel room in Newport trying to decide what to for dinner. I had Fat Guy Porn on the TV (you know the Food Network) in the background while I pounded through emails on the laptop when Guy Fieri came on a said he was going to a place in Middletown, RI ... let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. I watched that portion of the show and was sold on where I was going for dinner. I got there and walked up to the front to order. I knew I was going with the "Stuffie" and Kung Pao Calamari. At the counter I also decided that since it was cold and I was in New England I may as well get a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. The Clam Chowder was excellent, definitely one of the better ones I had. (and considering I've been working on the New England coast for the past 18 months I've had more than a few). The "Stuffie" is a clam shell filled with a clam, breading & spice mix. It comes in regular or spicy. Of course I went with the spicy option, and it was really good. The spice wasn't overwhelming so even if you're not a big heat fan you can still handle it. The Kung Pao Calamari was also very good. The calamari was cooked perfectly and while the Kung Pao sauce was pretty good, I found myself wishing I had just gone with the Classic (RI Style) Calamari. Ohh well, I'll get that one next time ... and there will definitely be a next time. If you're looking for really good seafood in a nice, unpretentious place, go to Anthony's. I would definitely recommend it over several of the seafood places in the City of Newport, trust me, your stomach and wallet will both thank me.

    Great find in RI This seafood restaurant is self service casual dining with great outdoor seating. We have a dog so we sat outside in the covered and heated patio. ( that's a huge luxury) Lobster and steamers were fresh and very reasonable in price. Best taste and value all around!

  • Good E.

    awesome, AWESOME, awesome sea food establishment! i found this great place on yelp and fellow yelpers did not lie. it's really good food! we got the following calimari-excellent clam cakes-a little doughey but very tasty 2 lb lobsters-beautiful, so much meat! mussels, clams, sausage , corn on the cob, potatoes were all awesome snow crab legs- beautiful,loaded with sweet meat fried fish (clam strips, flounder, fries) platter was very tasty but we took most of it with us because we were getting full :O the portions are generous, you order in line, BEFORE you sit down b'c they prepare the food to order. restaurant is clean, spacious. plenty of parking. we met the owner who was very friendly and homely. definitely , EAT HERE! it is worth every penny :D

  • Gemma C.

    I'd have to say that this place was my favorite spot for lobster rolls. The size is pretty generous and enough to share with an addition of an appetizer. The clam cakes are delicious as well as the kung pao calamari. Definitely skip the lobster rolls along Thames Street and make your way over to Anthony's for lobster rolls!

    (5)

  • Michael L.

    I echo all the other comments on the Portuguese Fish Chowder - definitely order it. I had the lobster roll too. It was good, and full of meat (as it should be for something like $24) but not appreciably better than some of the other places (and food trucks) that I've been to.

  • Lindsay M.

    This place is awesome! At first, you can't see it from the road, but then you turn in and it's a nice, quaint spot with a good amount of parking. Walking in, you think restaurant and all that jazz. Not in this place! They have an average size "fish deli" filled with stuffed shrimp, lobsters and such right as you walk in. Tons of things to buy for the family and cooking. So once you walk in, you grab a menu and place your order. They bring the food to you (took about 12 minutes for two dishes). Overall, this place was very nice for a day in Rhode Island! :) And Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited the place! Two thumbs up!!

  • Ashley S.

    Looked this up on diners, drive-ins and dives and gave it a shot while in Newport. It was everything we thought it would be and more. We got the Kung pao calamari, the "stuffie," clam strips w/ fries and the New England clam chowder. It was all delicious. The calamari was cooked to perfection. All great food, proportions & prices. Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely be back!

  • Alison M.

    We showed up at 7pm on a Saturday evening, so there was a line out the door to the parking lot. We considered leaving and going somewhere else, but I'm so glad we didn't - the food was the best we had on our New England road trip. I sort of randomly stumbled across this place on Yelp that afternoon, and I'm so glad I did. The line wasn't terrible (maybe a half hour?) and once we ordered (me: clam chowder and a lobster roll; him: grilled tuna platter), our food was out in maybe 10 minutes. My lobster roll was amazing: huge, delicious, and generously piled with lobster meat. He says his 2 tuna steaks were the best he's had in a really long time. We left stuffed and happy. I'm sad I don't live closer. Despite this, I WILL be back to Anthony's.

    After doing a quick yelp search for seafood in Newport, I found Anthony's. I highly recommend it. This is a no frills place, and the food is great. It's not pretentious at all, and they don't upcharge you for atmosphere. I had eaten a massive breakfast, so I wasn't too hungry. I got some clam chowder, crab cakes, and clam cakes to share. I had no clue what clam cakes were, but they were delicious. The crab cakes were great as well, they definitely were not lacking in the quantity of crab (like many others I've had). The chowder was great as well. In summary, the seafood was great and I highly recommend Anthony's.

  • Mitch K.

    I'm embarrassed to say this...my parents live all of 1/4 mile from this restaurant right off the same road and the last time I was here was like five years ago. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!?! I visit my parents 5-10x a year and I never think to go to Anthony's. Well today I decided to say hi to my dad and finally see what all the fuss is about. I had the kung pao calamari (delicious doesn't even begin to explain this dish, beautiful fried calamari with a sweet sauce, peanuts, and these red mild peppers, just heaven), the scallop dinner (huge scallops with some delicious fries), and the portuguese fish chowder (fish, chourico, etc. with a delicious kick to it). My wife had a couple of stuffies and said they were the best she's ever had. Do yourself a favor and check it out. My mouth is salivating eight hours later thinking about the calamari and the chowder....

  • Emma F.

    I order a one-pound steamer and a garden salad. Both of them were extremely fresh and tasty!! You might expect that it would be easy to find fresh seafood in Newport, but the truth is not. This restaurant is exceptional! I did not expect much when I was walking in, because I usually go to fancy-looking restaurant. But the food at this restaurant is just so great that I don't mind go back again to sit in there for the fresh seafood. I mean it was just not the fancy-looking like the others I would go to, but it was clean and quiet.

    (5)

  • Sofia C.

    Great seafood. Everyone liked what they ordered. The lobster roll was enormous and perfect - no filler here, just a heap of lobster. The fried shrimp were cooked perfectly. The broiled fish was tender and tasty. It took a while for our food to arrive - we noticed that there was quite a difference between when each table ordered and when its food arrived - but we believe that this is because some of the dishes simply take a lot longer to prepare. A simple fried plate will come out of the kitchen in minutes, but something that takes a while to bake (like stuffies) will take longer. So don't be frustrated if your order takes a few extra minutes. When it arrived, everything was piping hot and perfect. We'll be back.

    (5)

  • Jeremy D.

    Ok, so I always call it as I see (taste) it. One of the best seafood shakes ever. The lobster roll was described by my co-dinner as "the best I ever had". Sweet meat. I stupidly didn't order that. However, my cod fish sandwich was moist, perfectly breaded and absolutely delicious. Clam strips were great. Clam chawda perfect and full of great flavor. No ambience. Beyond recommend.

    (5)

  • Liz M.

    Undoubtedly recommended, but a bit of a production. Incredibly long line for dinner, with a deceptive inside turn. It probably took us about a 30 minute wait, during which someone provided menus to look at but no one gave us a time estimate. I got a half a dozen raw oysters which were quite large but not packed with flavor, followed by a lobster roll. The lobster roll is perfectly assembled- huge chunks of lobster, almost no mayo, delicious bun. You buy your own drinks from a bottle-cooler at the register. They gave us a number, with a whole shpeal about how they wouldn't start our food until we were sat, though we were sat almost immediately. You can sub out a side, which I did for the corn on the cob, fresh and in-season but a bit undercooked. It took our food a really long time to come out, maybe another 20 minutes. Then they really rushed us out as soon as anyone was near finished. When clearing a plate, the busser knocked over and spilled a bottle of water. These things happen, but he said "oh well, good thing it's just water" (now on our laps), with no apology and no offer to provide another bottle. Ultimately the food was great, so I'd go back and hope the logistical kerfuffles were a one time thing.

  • Amber S.

    Their Portuguese clam chower is the absolute best chowder I've ever eaten! Every time I visit Newport, I eat it at least 3 times a week. When I'm back home in Washington I look at pictures and daydream about my next time eating it! Yeah...it's that good! Their onion rings are great too...and the prices are extremely reasonable! Love it!

    (5)

  • Anna S.

    Stopped in for a late lunch, ate some great fresh seafood! Large menu, even includes something for the non-seafood eaters. Seafood market looked great, if we.lived closer I would definitely buy fresh fish and.shellfish.

  • Jennifer M.

    The best clam cakes and RI clam chowder! The clam cakes were filled with clams, they were light and not greasy. The clear chowder was full of flavor - there were lots of clams, the potatoes were perfectly done and the flavor of bacon came through to compliment the broth. We'll be definitely be coming back for more.

    (5)

  • Meghan W.

    Awesome! I came back to RI with my boyfriend to visit my parents and they took us here. The BF wanted a classic Lobster Boil, which he had never had before so my parents immediately suggested Anthony's. The portions were extremely generous and the food was fantastic! We came in late and ordered a meal that takes a long time to eat. We were there well after close and the staff was very gracious. They did their closing work around us but never made us feel rushed or like we were an inconvenience. Kudos to Anthony's for having great food and a fantastic staff! This place is a gem!

  • AzilennA T.

    We are definitely going back to this restaurant. We are from California and we love to eat seafood. We drove from Providence to Newport just to have fresh lobsters at a reasonable price. We found this place because Aquidneck in Newport is under renovation. Prices are reasonable. I love their calamari and the whole lobster was very fresh. We also ordered some steamed mussels. We enjoyed everything! Place is very casual and a little touristy, but very welcoming. It looks like a family owned restaurant.

    (5)

  • S P.

    Food is fresh and well made. The cashier/hostess/menu expert girl was extremely helpful and kept us from making the mistake of ordering too much food. By the way, you order before you are seated. Me and the husband got there fairly close to closing so we took our food to go. I only tried the sandwiches and they were all good. But whatever you order, you got to get a stuffie.

    (4)

  • Kristine S.

    It took me a really long time to come around on Yelp to review Anthony's Seafood because I wanted tourists to keep going to Flo's and keep Anthony's sneakily known only to me and the locals but the more I stop in and see the parking lot full of non-Rhode Island plates... the damage is done, everyone knows the secret! There's stiff competition here, but I believe Anthony's is the best place for seafood in Rhode Island, hands down. They've got a killer New England Clam Chowder, delicious Lobster Rolls, and perfect Fish and Chips.. the kind that's fried just right with tender fish on the inside. It's really informal inside; they have a fish market to buy fresh seafood as well as their sit down restaurant where you order before you sit yourself down. The waitstaff are always sweet and helpful and I make sure to leave a tip for them in the jar before I leave. It also seems like people of all kinds patronize this place... old, young, rich, poor, average. No one discriminates, this place is one of a kind. There you have it, I highly recommend this place. Your stomach will thank you!

    (5)

  • Jordan D.

    I think this place is New England at its finest. Anthony's is comfy, chilled out, homey and most importantly, its seafood is amazing. My girlfriend and her family stopped on in for a lazy weekend lunch. Everything we got and that I tried, from the stuffies, to the lobster roll (which my gf, a native New Englander claimed is one of the best she's ever tasted!) to the Rhody chowder; everything was mouth watering. The staff here definitely goes out of their way for you and really makes you feel at home. I'll be sure to come back again next time I'm in the area!

  • ML T.

    We were craving seafood and after reading all the good reviews, we decided to go try it out for ourselves. What we ordered: calamari dinner, don's portuguese little necks, new england mega meal and raw oysters. Everything was absolutely scrumptious...might consider coming back tomorrow night. The place was featured in Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The reason why I took off 1 star was because there was nothing spectacularly unique about these dishes. They were just really good traditional dishes.

    (4)

  • Food E.

    Came here based on the good reviews and ddd which recommended the stuffies and kung pao calamari. Never had a stuffed quahog before but it was enjoyed by myself and everyone else. The kung pao calamari was tasty but wasn't blown away by it - basically fried calamari with sweet chili sauce on top (like Thai sweet chili or something you might find at an Asian fusion type restaurant) and peanuts. Portuguese fish chowder was good, had a nice kick to it. Fried seafood platter was a nice size and very good! Small scallops though (bay scallops).

    (5)

  • Red N.

    THE BEST Been here so many times and there's nothing on the menu I don't love. I've bought fresh things from them to cook at home and have always been pleased. The guys behind the counter know what they're selling and can help with ideas on how to prepare it. The restaurant is fantastic, too, and growing! My favorite is the lobster roll, but I don't think you can go wrong with anything. This place is well worth the rather un-scenic drive from wherever you are on the island.

    (5)

  • Rick M.

    Where do I start? This place is awesome! We come here at least 3-5 every time we go to Newport. The Lobster roll is one of the best I've had, and I've gone on a lobster roll quest in the past. The Kung Pow Calamari is terrific, spicy and sweet. The 2 lobster special (2 lbs of lobster) is the most lobster I've ever had in one seating. It's not fancy, kind of a deli/meat counter where you pay first and then find a table. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

    (5)

  • Geralyn D.

    Love, love, love this place. Great choices of fresh fish and your clam shack favorites. The Portuguese chowder is amazing. My parents live in Middletown, and this is one of our go-to favorites for seafood, especially after a day at the beach. Anthony's also catered our wedding with a clam boil, including clam chowder. Steve, the owner, gave us a great price. We thought he was just going to drop off the food for our buffet, but to our surprise, he stayed, served the food, and made sure everybody was happy. I also appreciated that he kept an eye on how long the food was out since we were so engrossed in the wedding. Don't want to mess with those clams.

    (5)

  • Agustin K.

    Not quite Newport but quality food regardless and less headache with finding parking. The decor is a bit nautical as expected. Love the fact they serve beer and wine at super reasonable price. the Portuguese chowder was quite yummy and we loved our lobster roll. Huge chunks and not too much mayo. The fries are spectacular!!!

  • Steve H.

    I went to Anthony's for lunch today and it was a solid 3 star experience. I followed in other yelpers footsteps and ordered the Kung Pao calamari and the spicy stuffie, both were delicious however my calamari could have been warmer. The other person in my party ordered the salmon burger, which was flavorless and somewhat cold. The fries were hot and crispy! He also got the Portuguese Chowder. The taste was pretty good but if you want amazing Portuguese chowder go to The Boat House in Tiverton, it's far superior in taste. Overall there seemed to me a major temperate issue with the food. The chowder was one step above cold and other food wasn't warm either (as mentioned above). The main reason why I'm not pushing this to a four star review was that the cashier wasn't helpful in the least. One of us has an allergy to bell peppers and we wanted to know if the crab cakes had them (they do). Not a ridiculous request and the woman just gave us major attitude when she had to go ask someone. Mind you, no one else was in line so we weren't holding anyone up. The other action that put me off to her was when they delivered the chowder they mistakenly brought 3 clam cakes with it. Simple mistake but rather than just let us have it, as it was already been delivered to our table, the woman comes back and grabs them off the table when she realizes the mistake. That's fine, we didn't pay for them but I can only assume she just brought these to another table. It still kind of grosses me out. If I were Anthony's, I would have just ate the cost of the 3 clam cakes. All in all, if I were in the area and there wasn't a long line, I'd go back just for the Kung Pao Calamari.

    (3)

  • Joey D.

    New England clam chowder was the best, Kung Pao calamari was the best. Lobster roll was not the kind I prefer, I like when it's hot with butter, they make it cold as a lobster salad on a roll. If you like it this way, this place is a home run. Better than most places in newport and less $$$.... Your choice

    (4)

  • Susan W.

    Don't waste your time going to Newport for your seafood. All you get is a view. Better food here with friendly staff and reasonable prices. Don't be fooled by the location. The food is AMAZING. Also serves beer and wine by both the bottle and the glass.

  • Bermie H.

    The last time I was in Newport I tried Flo's for my lobstah roll fix. It was good but I wasn't looking to deal with the wait for a seat since it was a Saturday. That plus this time there was eight of us. We pulled into the parking and found plenty of spots. We walked in, placed our order at the register and waited about 15-20 minutes for our food. I had the lobster salad roll priced at $18 at the time. It seems a bit steep but you get all the meat from one lobster. It's not just a scoop of some mishmosh of lobster. It was delicious. I tried some of my wife's cod fish and chips and that was pretty darn good too. The service was friendly and the atmosphere is great for the whole family. Kudos to my fellow yelpers for recommending this place.

    Had the 2lb lobster and clam chowder - delicious and fresh. Place is understated with no frills but that's okay for a seafood place. A must for anyone in the area.

  • Ken S.

    As you might imagine, the Ocean State knows a little about fish, and there are a lot of seafood restaurants. I've been living here for 2 1/2 years now and so far the best one I've found is located in this nondescript building in Middletown. There are no beautiful water views to be had here, but if what you're after is great seafood, perfectly prepared, and at reasonable prices, this is the place for you. You step up to a counter (in the summer there's often a line, and on Saturday nights in the summer it's going to be a long one), order your meal, and then grab a table. The menu ranges from inexpensive dishes like fish tacos and sandwiches to more pricey lobster rolls and seafood dinners. There are excellent bisques and chowders too. Whatever your budget, you can be sure that you're getting the freshest seafood and that it will be prepared exactly as it should be.

    I dont know whats so spevial about this olace. Maybe I was ecpecting alot more from all the raves.....It kung pow calamari was drowning in the kung pow stuff....The stuffies? I guess thats what you call them were nithing but breadcrumbs in a shell. Clam chowder was ok but those clam cakes were geasey heavy as hell and had no clam in them.... oh well live and learn

    WOW..... We purposely ordered about ..6 items of this menu to get he full experience. This plaece (half market-half no-frills restaurant) has some AMAZING food. The seafood is so fresh... all you taste is sweet and brine... delicious. We ordered the: Portuguese Fish Chowder This is the most amazing chowder I have EVER had.. It beats them all.. GET A HUGE bowl.. order two do whatever just make sure you order this. This dish alone is worth the 10 hour trip. Kung Pao Calamari This was a great spin on the calamari were are all used to. The spicy/sweet flavor was perfect. The squid was cooked to perfection (NO rubber here). My only suggestion - less breadding on this dish. Stuffed Quahog This is like a total RI/ New England thing, but... we just couldnt get into it. It tasted like... bland, midly spiced bread (pass on this one unless you want to say you tried a "stuffie") Fisherman's Platter We ordered this fried amalgamation just so we would have tried almost everything on the menu. Whole Bellied Clams - Not for everyone, but if you like clam... you will like this Shrimp - cooked perfectly.. sweet and delicious Scallops - bay scallops.. so they were small and sweet Cod - SO delish.. Buttery .. tender... amazing Fish Taco Great! they just need to NOT use 2 different kinds of tortilla and use something other than American Cheese.

  • Anne W.

    Amongst all the heavy hitters (aka expensive restaurants) near Newport, RI... I was lucky to find this place. I wanted to treat my parents to some seafood.. but we didn't really care for the frills of a fancy restaurant. It was a looooong drive from Boston.. imagine tons of small roads you have to take to get here.. but it was worthwhile when we got there. Tons of parking.. no wait when we got there. You stand in line and simply order. We got the steamers which were delicious! (And don't let anybody tell you that all steamers are alike.. they are not!! They were big and delicious here) We also got the two lobster special which was very delicious as well although it didn't seem hot.. just warm. They cut it for you so make it easy for you to get the meat out.. and the shells for the lobster were pretty soft. Softer than I remember for Maine lobsters... perhaps they are RI lobsters? New England clam chowder was good too although they let me try the RI clam chowder.. different twist.. not sure if I like it too much but they let me try it for free. Bascially it's a broth instead of a creamy base. Quick.. and to the point.. would definitely recommend it again!

    One of our favs on the island! Love the fish platters ... The crab legs are to die for... Only reason we didn't give them five stars is the whole belly clams are a bit on the 'chewy' side. All in all though, a great place to dine... Reasonably priced too,

    10 stars Rhode Island Clam Chowder 10 stars Portuguese Fish Chowder 7 stars Spicy Stuffies 3.5 stars Kung Poa Calamari 5 stars atmosphere 5 stars service 10 stars prices Regrets: Not being able to finish our food Not getting more to-go Not going back the next day for lunch The food here was amazing. I imagine there are some other amazing seafood restaurants in the area...If I lived there, I'd never find out though, I'd be going to Anthony's for lunch every day. I'm from the Coastal South (an island, with a festival dedicated to shrimp), now live in New York, and am married to a chef--meaning I take seafood seriously. It was well worth the drive (as out-of-towners) from Newport to Middleton, which is pretty short but involved bad Google Map directions, a lot of blind corners, and even more unmarked roads. We got there at 7-ish on a Wednesday night in October and had no wait even though they were busy. I was confused about where the menus were, where to order, and if you bus your own table (answers: the menus are right when you walk in, at the counter, and no), but the high school girls working were super nice and didn't treat me like a stupid tourist. I'm now a chowder person and the stuffed clams lived up to my high exceptions. The calamari was cooked perfectly (not chewy), it just didn't stand out compared to everything else. My husband and I had a fresh seafood dinner (2 cups of soup, 2 stuffies,1 calamarie, 2 bottled drinks) for just under $25. Tip: Bring cash for the tip jar. Anthony's does accept cards, but you can't leave a tip on them.
