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.

- SMSherry M3 days ago5.0I picked up a takeout for someone's lunch. Clam Chowder and Clam Cakes when I took it to the person there were no napkins and no spoon. Very difficult to eat chowder without a spoon.
- LRLaura RowlettDec 31, 20253.0We generally go to Narragansett because they actually give you the information on what you want as far as cost. We paid more at the Oakland Beach location than the other and got less food. Just a suggestion to help your customers get the best experience for their money, make suggestions. Ty
