There’s a long-standing debate in Rhode Island about which clam shack reigns supreme when it comes to summertime seafood. With so many to choose from in the Ocean State, the only way to really decide is to taste the offerings at each and every one! When making your sampling list, Rocky Point Clam Shack deserves a spot at the top. You’ll not only discover scrumptious food but you can also experience delicious memories at this former amusement park.
From 1840 to 1996, Rocky Point Amusement Park was a lively destination in Warwick for family fun. Rides, games, a penny arcade, and the world's largest shore dinner hall attracted visitors from near and far.
The roller coasters and Ferris Wheel may be gone now but the time-honored recipes of the popular dinner hall are still being served at the Rocky Point Clam Shack.
Indulge in warm weather favorites like chowder, clam cakes, and doughboys. There's nothing that says summer in Rhode Island quite like a spread of clam shack favorites on a picnic table.
You'll also find the fried seafood you've been craving like whole belly clams, clam strips, shrimp, fish and chips, and others. Don't forget a side of signature amusement park sea shore fries to complete your meal.
The lobster roll is just one more tasty option to sample. For the land-loving diners, there are burgers, wraps, and sandwiches that will appeal.
Even the beverages are unique to Rocky Point. Old-fashioned sodas and lemonade will quench your thirst and bring back memories of the good old days.
