I first went to Aunt Carrie’s in 1978. Mom and Dad had had a miserable dinner at the lighthouse restaurant, when a passing local heard them talking about the experience. “You should go to Aunt Carrie’s,” the local interjected, and struck up a conversation.
I will forever be grateful for that bit of unsolicited advice. In the years since, Aunt Carrie’s has sustained its level of excellence.
The atmosphere is exceedingly casual, as is fitting for a beachside restaurant. The servers may be inexperienced, but they’re always hardworking and helpful. We once showed up five minutes before closing, with the only other diners wrapping up their meals, and a server cheerfully welcomed us in and gave absolutely no vibe that our late attendance was an imposition on the staff.
The food is the best representation of Rhode Island’s take on New England seafood. That is, if fried seafood is what you want, you’re going to be very happy. I prefer the fried whole belly clams.
The clam cakes, a Rhode Island specialty, are excellent. Don’t expect a “clam cake” to be like a “crab cake.” Clam cakes are primarily fried dough fritters, with little bits of clam in them for flavor and texture.
The chowder is amazing, and served either traditional Rhode Island style with a clear broth, or with a touch of milk added. I’m led to believe you can even have it served with a tomato broth, but I’ve never ventured to confirm such a culinary tragedy is printed on the menu for anything more than comic value. (Note: Traditional clam chowder in New England is not thick, and that’s a sad trend soup companies and restaurants outside the region have pushed. If you like your clam chowder “thick and creamy,” you’re going to be disappointed and would be better served by going to the grocery store for some Campbell’s.)
Other solid dishes include their steamers and lobster rolls. It’s so hard to choose!
Go to Aunt Carrie’s if you want a particular type of cuisine executed with the highest quality.
Chowder – very good! 3 varieties to try. Very potato heavy, but good flavor!
Clam cakes – More of a fritter, lots of fried dough with some chunks of clam in it. Very tasty, very greasy, great for dipping soup!
Whole-Belly Clams – FABULOUS!!! It’s been a while since I have actually found whole clams on my yearly Rhode Island trips. The best!!
