"We have been coming here for 28 years. I brought my kids here I brought my grandkids here and my mother-in-law and father-in-law live down the street quarter mile. The last few trips to Rhode Island we were unable to get to Iggy's so it's been a couple of years. We ordered the fish and chips, we ordered red chowder, white chowder and of course clam cake. To say our hearts broke is an understatement. The clam cakes used to be full of clams and had odd shapes because they were hand dropped.. these look definitely balled up like meatballs; like they were shaped.. if not frozen and then reheated. Hardly any clams in the clam cake. My husband was excited when he found one clam chunk; sarcastically excited. I remember boasting about how you could stick a spoon straight up in the chowder..not this one it was runny and watery and disgusting. It didn't even taste like clams it tasted like potato soup..barely. The red chowder wasn't even red it was like a mix between clear and red but someone decided to throw in three little canned tomato pieces. The baked scallops were soggy and disgusting and the french fries, even though I know they come frozen, we're nothing to boast about either. The fish n chips disappointed. It used to be a fish that barely fit in the container and now it's a fish that could fit in one side portion of the container. The baked scrod was not bad but it just looked ick. Iggy's threw a small piece of fish in with some squishy side vegetables and some rice pilaf that look like it came out of a bag premade. All of the lemons they gave us were disgusting and smelled like soap and were oily; so we had to throw them out. The only pictures I could take was right before my husband dumped it all down the sink. We had guests for lunch who had never had Iggy's and we must have boasted and boasted about it for hours before it arrived. We spent well over $240 on this order and I feel like we got ripped off big time by Iggy's. We will not come back anymore. I can understand the price hikes and I can understand the economy but I cannot understand changing recipes that made this place famous. I now feel 100% confident that my white chowder is better than theirs any day of the week. And that is something that I would never have said over the two plus decades we have been coming here. Is so sad when a childhood memory turns into an adult nightmare. Do better Iggy's... Just do better. Economy be damned don't screw with the chowder and the clam cakes. After all that's what made you famous and that was the original menu. -Sad and disappointed, Local Oakland Beacher. They're so-called red chowder is picture here and my mother-in-law sink. I should have just set my money on fire."

"Great Pizza, Great Place!!. I ate at Vinnie 's a few times when it was across the street in the little place. Even though the facility was old and run down their pizza was out of this world. I live on the other side of town so I 'm rarely over in the Herbertsville section.<br/ <br/ I was amazed with their new location across the street. I really couldn 't believe my eyes. This place is gorgeous PLUS the food is phenomenal (like it was before !! <br/ <br/ I 've had the pleasure of dinning at Vinnie 's new location twice, once June 28, 2009 and then again on July 16, 2009. Let me tell you I was impressed both times, which I might add it 's not an easy thing to do. My family and I had a wonderful dinner; the staff couldn 't have been nicer. They make you feel like family. The facility is clean my mother in law will not dine in a restaurant if she feels it 's dirty (neither will anyone else I know . The menu is loaded with classics and many new variations it 's difficult to make up your mind. Vinnie 's also offers 'Early Bird Dinner Specials ' which you don 't want to miss. The dishes are huge way too much for one person to eat by themselves which I like because I can have it again for lunch (and possibly dinner the next day. They have the best mozzarella sticks I 've ever had, and that 's no exaggeration. The salad is fresh and they offer a variety of dressings I love their ranch and house balsamic! The bread is great, soft and warm. Oh yeah, and the cheese cake, let 's not forget the cheese cake its wicked good! It 's as good as my mother 's (if that 's not a compliment I don 't know what is <br/ <br/ Overall, this is a great place for either the quick slice of pizza (they have a ton of specialty pies my favorite is the cheese steak pizza , ordering pies for take out or dinning in the dinning room. Whether it 's a family dinner (you 're finicky eater will be pleased , a group of friends or a romantic dinner for two, you will not be disappointed.<br/ <br/ Now of course you can 't always believe what you read (especially those comments left by the same individual makes you wonder, doesn 't it? so I suggest you have your own experience Try it and see for yourself...you 'll be glad you did."
