When we make our way out to the Block each year, we always find ourselves coming to the Oar. They have a great atmosphere, view, menu, staff, etc. you name it, it’s pretty awesome here. The staff are always friendly, and despite the tourism season, you get seated pretty quickly. But they do offer copious amounts of seating both inside and out. The food is always fantastic, especially if your a seafood person. The mahi mahi , lobster roll , and sushi is amongst my faves. There are a lot of great places to visit here on the island, but the park is our favorite. Look forward to eating here in the seasons to come.
The Oar is a restaurant located on Block Island, Rhode Island. It has been in business since 1969 and is known for its fresh seafood, excellent drinks and stunning views of the ocean.
I recently had the opportunity to dine at The Oar. We were all excited to try the food, as we had heard great things about it.
When we arrived, we were immediately struck by the beautiful location. The restaurant is right on the water, and the views are simply stunning. We were outside at a table so we could enjoy the view while we ate and had some cocktails.
We had a wonderful experience at The Oar. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was simply stunning. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He was also happy to make recommendations. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an excellent dining experience on block island.

Come for the food, and stay for the cocktails and amazing views.
I’ve been here a lot of times and have come to like their sushi a lot. I recommend their tuna loco. It’s affordable and service is fast. Takeaway is ready in ten minutes and onsite service is quick and always on hand to help. However the 6oz bling Angus burger leaves a lot to be improved. I also suggest trying their chicken strips with the sweet sriracha sauce.
beautiful view while having lunch.
husband and I came here twice because the oysters were so good! both times!
the first time I had a turkey club and it was really good. second time I had the the lobster club but the bread was hard and the lobster meat not so fresh. the cole slaw the first time was good but not the second time. the clam chowder was delicious and so was the husband's bloody mary and I don't drink!
buy would definitely come again if we ever visit the island again
Really cool place to eat. Nice views of the harbor while enjoying beer and food. I went with classic lobster roll and fries. They have the cold version (I prefer buttered) but it was really tasty. Bit pricey place but good portions. Place is huge (outdoor seating) but service is quick and nice. I will come back next time.
Seafood dominant, and outdoor ready. Good, but not outstanding food. Great service. Nice view.
You’ll be glad you came here so long as you’re mentally prepared for the check. If they manage to take their food to the next level (which just so happens to be the level their charging for), this would be a perfect 5.
Still recommended.
Right on the water . Beautiful location to sit on the deck to watch the sunset .Rustic seaside decor.
Great drinks very well mixed.
The food is so so at best with somewhat high price point
Felt like we were in a dream. GO HERE! Sat in our own chairs facing the water. Amazing beer, sushi, onion rings. Nicest service.
We ordered two rolls, the islander roll and the rainbow roll. The raw fish was delicious. The service was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the views. The OAR is one of those institutions worth visiting when you're on block Island.
Everything you've ever heard about The Oar having the best mudslides is absolutely true. We came here for the mudslides and ordered some mozzarella sticks too. Enjoyed our drinks with the beautiful view.
