2 Best Restaurants in Block Island, Rhode Island

The black 1961 Ford Galaxie parked out front is the landmark steering you to this fun indoor-outdoor restaurant, bar, and night spot in Old Harbor. Find a table on the porch or in the garden and dig into the house specialty, barbecued pulled pork mac & cheese, washed down with a margarita blended with a local blackberry and honey puree. Fun snacks include a lasagna dip and crispy fish sticks; healthier options include a "power lunch" salad packed with quinoa, sunflower seeds, figs and beets, topped with an apple cider vinaigrette dressing.

The food—baked Atlantic cod, shrimp and pea pasta, lobster rolls—is consistently great, the price is right, and you won't feel like a tourist at this local favorite. Catch ocean breezes on the patio, or in stormy weather sit at the bar and watch breakers roll in 30 feet away.
