Aunt Carrie's

"Indian pudding, a stout samp of long-baked cornmeal and molasses, is a traditional Yankee shoreline dessert. A la mode is the only way to go."
Michael Stern






"Clam cakes are part of a full-bore shore dinner. They are large spheres of fried dough dotted with nuggets of sweet clam meat."
Michael Stern



"The blueberry pie, full of lots of sweet berries, is a seasonal favorite at Aunt Carrie's."
Cliff Strutz



"Fish and chips is just one course in a shore dinner. Before it come clam chowder and clam cakes, then steamers. After that comes the whole lobster and, finally, Indian pudding or rhubarb pie."
Michael Stern



"Steamers are a sweet way to begin a meal. The ritual is to pull the clam from its shell, dip it in broth to rinse away grit, then sop it with drawn butter."
Michael Stern



"Although not the best thing on the menu, the hand-breaded whole bellies are definitely worth ordering."
Cliff Strutz



"Aunt Carrie's is known for great homemade pies. Here is rhubarb -- a very nice balance of sweet and tart."
Michael Stern



"Our young waitress was enthusiastic about all the places we were eating at around Rhode Island and even made some suggestions. Sounds like a Roadfooder to us!"
Cliff Strutz



"This 1-1/2 pound lobster was part of a shore dinner. We like the way it arrives holding napkins in its claw."
Michael Stern



"Aunt Carrie's dining room is a meditative place."
Michael Stern



"While it is supremely casual, there is something polite about this old shore dinner hall, as seen in these lacy curtains. "
Michael Stern



"Aunt Carrie's started as a clam cake and chowder stand on Narragansett Beach in 1920."
