We all have our favorite go-to spots to grab a bite to eat. We usually pick a place that is just a short drive away and hop in the car and go. But why drive to a restaurant when you can take a boat? This Block Island restaurant features some mouthwatering food along with stunning views and it’s definitely worth the trip.

The Oar restaurant is just a short jaunt off of the Rhode Island coast, but you’ll need to ride the ferry or a boat to get there. It’s a seasonal restaurant on Block Island serving some fantastic lunch and dinner.

There are plenty of custom burger and sandwich choices on the menu as well. We love the lobster grilled cheese with a side of slaw.

If you are looking for something a bit lighter, try a fresh salad. On a hot day, this choice will hit the spot.
