About
Restaurant
It all started with a promise and from there it was built on a vision. Gaetano Gravino was a hairstylist who had found part time work at a doughboy shack in Oakland Beach. This part time work turned into an opportunity that spoke to his entrepreneurial spirit – the same spirit that lives on in his wife and children: Sally, MaryAnn, David, and Guy. When the chance came to lease the establishment, Gaetano and his wife Sally took it. And in 1989, Iggy’s Doughboy and Chowder House was born – coined after a nickname given to him by his son, David. The featured dish at the time was the red chowder – the recipe a family secret created by Sally herself.

- DDDoreen Dalessio1 day ago5.0Best place for cakes and chowder, especially if you are from another state.
- TPThomas St. PierreNov 12, 20255.0You can't beat the clam cakes.
- BLBradford LongOct 22, 20252.0My wife and I just had good food at Iggy's in Warwick. Food was good but the waitress was awful. We are polite people but from the start " Trish " was pushy,sarcastic and actually told me to read the menu more carefully when I inquired about the side dish. Always happy there except with Ms.Trish the nast waitress.
- RLRobin LoftinOct 18, 20252.0It was our first time here. Heard so many good things, but was so disappointed! Spent $60 and couldn't even eat most of it. Got the seafood platter(everything overcooked) and extra side of clam cakes which were so rubbery they were inedible. The Manhattan clam chowder had way too much salt in it. Unfortunately I don't think we will be returning.
- SMSabria McKinnonOct 8, 20253.0We visited Iggy's on a Gloomy Wednesday Afternoon. It was a cool day but nice enough to sit outside on the lunch benches by the water -- however the seagulls said otherwise, so we headed in. We got a small smorgasbord lol. Starting with the calamari, I loved it with the banana peppers, gave a nice tang. It had a nice crunch but not hard or chewy, pretty perfect. The curly fries were great, seasoned well but not too salty. We were shoveling them in. The stuff quahog was nice, neither of us had tried it before -- the meat to filling ratio was welcomed, glad we didn't get mouthful of breadcrumbs. Finally, the lobstahhh rolls. So we got the ones with butter, not sure what style that is. I'd give them a 5/10.. definitely not the best we've had in NE. Pretty plain, no real flavor and a little chewy. The star of the meal I'd def say was the calamari and stuffed quahog. And of course we couldn't go to Iggy's w/o getting the doughboys (not pictured) we got them with cinnamon sugar and they were DELICIOUS!
