I%26#39;m going to Newport in a week or so and wanted some ';divey'; types of restaurants. You know the type of place-- where the locals eat and the food is great. I understand that clam shacks on the waterfront would be an option. Is that true? Suggestions?
Clam Shacks
In Newport itself there aren%26#39;t really any of theose waterfront clamshaks.
In Middletown there%26#39;s Flo%26#39;s across from the beach and Anthony%26#39;s Seafood which is attached to their seafood market and not on the water.

If you want to take a drive, up in Tiverton is Evelyn%26#39;s

Clam Shacks
You want divey but good? Check out Iggy%26#39;s on Oakland Beach in Warwick. Great crabcakes and chowder. It%26#39;s just a window and some picnic tables outside and very limited indoor seating.
If you want a notch up, go to Chelo%26#39;s on the Waterfront down at the Warwick Marina. They have outdoor seating upstairs and downstairs as well as live local music at night. Also great cakes and chowder.
It is not a clam shack but check out Franklin Spa in Newport for breakfast or lunch. It is an old fashioned soda fountain kind of place with a HUGE menu of really good food. Don%26#39;t let the big burly cooks standing behind the counter fool you. They really CAN cook. Enjoy.
