3 stars because the drinks and apps were good. The oysters were probably the best oysters I have ever had. However, the entrees were disappointing. I got the hot lobster roll, the meat was so tough that I could hardly break it apart with my teeth. My husband ordered one of the specials and said the fish wasn’t fresh and came out dry. Bummer

This place is a hidden gem in Newport! The food is always fresh, delicious, great quality, and so reasonably priced compared to other restaurants around the area. Did I mention the daily buck a shuck from 12-2 for a $1.50 and all day half off apps and buck a shuck oysters and little necks on Tuesdays? They have everything from on the menu from land to sea!

Went for lunch and, with no wait at all, we got a cozy table by the front window, with a heat vent under the bench seat. We sat in the bar downstairs, now realizing there was a dining area upstairs, until we went up to use the restroom. We ordered a salmon BLT and a lobster grilled cheese, both of which were delicious! Service with great, staff were friendly. Will absolutely go back.

This is a must have stop while in Newport - we originally stopped in for some swag for the in-laws but unfortunately they don’t sell any. So naturally we stayed for a drink, shrimp cocktail and oysters. The server was very nice behind the bar.

Had the lobster roll . Tough and tasteless, worst I've ever had. The fries were limp and not fresh. My friend nor I could finish our lobster rolls. Couldn't chew through it and frankly why bother it was tasteless. Huge disappointment for end of season. This is the second time our for has been awful there.

10/25 - In town as part of our NE bus trip. Arrived around 4:00 on a Saturday & Benjamin's was the only place we could find that would take a reservation for 9. We went up the stairs to find a wonderful place, great atmosphere, attentive staff, reasonable prices . The wife & I split the stuffed rock sole & a crab cake, both were very good and more than enough food. In fact, there wasn't anyone in our group that finished their whole meal. Beer selection was a little limited outside of the usual suspects. The place got to be full of people and so did the noise level, but don't let that keep you from eating here.
