"I felt like having a burger so I stopped into Spikes famous for dogs, but I noticed they have burgers as well. The first thing I noticed before I even opened the door was the giant suicide hotline poster on the outside of the building. It just struck me as odd. Anyway, I was greeted by friendly person. The place was completely empty. The atmosphere was dark and filled with memorabilia. Not really a place I would want to sit down and eat at. I decided to get a cheeseburger medium rare on the rare side. My food was ready pretty quickly and the price was pretty average about $8. I thought the burger was a good size but a little flat... but NOT cooked at the temp I asked for! It did NOT taste good. It was flavorless and greasy. I was very disappointed but honestly not surprised. So if you are considering Spikes maybe you should try their famous hot dogs. As for me I will probably skip them."

"Possibly the worst service I have ever experienced. Sat at the bar and you’d think I was invisible. Took forever for someone to acknowledge I was there. Drink came quickly but sat empty for over 30 minutes after I finished it. Finally got some water after my meal. Sat for another 20 minutes after my water was gone… no refills. Finally asked if I wanted dessert. Got the dessert menu then 15 minutes later was asked what I wanted. Aside from the horrific service the food was excellent, except for the beet salad which was lacking goat cheese…bet there was less than a teaspoon of little bits of cheese. Very disappointing."

"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."

"Me and my boyfriend went there and sat at the bar, we were not even acknowledged but were certainly noticed. There was two bartenders on, one that was cutting fruit while vaping and the other was catering to customers that had already received service. We decided to be patient and continue to wait seeing it was a little busy after 18 minutes we got up and walked out. Not once did someone say “hey guys be right with you” let alone a smile. We took our money across the street."

"Cafe Tempo has the best bagels and cream cheese I have ever had. Their selection is big and they’re usually well stocked through the morning. Very reasonably priced, especially comparing the quality to chains. The drive through wait can be longer than it looks, but always worth it. If you’re in a rush you can order ahead or go inside. If you get multiple sandwiches, just double check them before you leave the restaurant as we’ve had a few mix ups during busy lunch hours but always very pleased with the quality and whatever we get regardless! A few spots inside and outside to eat or you can sit at their bar inside if you just want a quick bite, but for conversations their patio is your best bet. Also, their bakery selection inside is a must try! Between the danishes and the bagged lemon cookies, you really can’t go wrong."
