Block Island Restaurants: The Complete Dining Guide

Block Island restaurants run the range from beachside lobster shacks to proper sit-down spots with ocean views. About 20 places in total, most clustered around Old Harbor. Fresh seafood is everywhere. There’s a pizza place, a few good bars, a diner near the airport that opens early, and some cafes worth stopping at for coffee and pastries. Most are seasonal and open late May through early October. A few stay open year-round, including Aldo’s and Bethany’s Airport Diner, but call ahead if you’re coming in the off-season. This directory covers every restaurant currently operating on the island, with what to order and what kind of crowd each place draws.
