Certified by Iggy's Doughboys & Chowder House • Mar 01, 2026
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.

This has been a place I regularly visit. Since coming to Warwick, today was the first time I had a bad experience.
I ordered from the lunch special menu and sat at the bar. Everyone sitting next to me was served water and bread. As you know, this restaurant’s bread with butter is amazing. However, I was not served any. I placed my order, and it arrived very late. I understand that lunchtime can be busy. I asked for water and bread and waited about 15 minutes. I reminded the bartender again, and it came about 10 minutes later.
My main course was also served very late. Since I had somewhere to be, I asked if it could be packed to go. The main course came already packed. The bartender asked if I would continue eating it. Because I couldn’t take it with me, I said no, and it was thrown away. I didn’t take the dessert either and asked for the check.
My point is this: at any restaurant, if you can’t finish your lunch or if your order is delayed, you should at least be able to take your food with you. Not allowing that makes no sense. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. I just wanted to share my experience.

Food is always great but have been greatly disappointed in the staff here lately. If the hours are as advertized, why are to go customers getting turned away 45 mins prior?

Clam cakes were almost burnt and smelled real bad. Fried clams were overdone and rubbery. The rest of the order was just acceptable. Apparently, the kitchen is being renovated. They should close until it's completed because they're ruining their reputation serving this up.
