$1 oysters on Tuesdays. Chowder fries with an egg on top just killed it. Awesome. Linguine extremely tasty, as we're the shrimp scampi, and the chicken parmigiana. Great service.

“Home of the Mothershucker Great food” Had dinner at this cozy and casual steak and seafood restaurant. Service was pretty quick. And the food was really good. We had clam chowder - a tasty treat; garlic bread was this warm soft delicious roll with a crispy outside. We ended up dipping the garlic bread slices on the clam chowder😛. That was really very good. Saw another table order a plate of calamari with hot pepper and decided to order them, too. Just with the peppers on the side as im not spicy food😬. We werent disappointed with that either. We also tried their oysters, and enjoyed them as well - fresh good ones. On point! We were able to get a table just walking in one Tuesday night, which was wonderful because it was pouring that night. Learned that happy hour, which was between 12-2, gave you $1/oyster and $1 clam, so you can eat as many fresh delights as you can during those times. Pretty reasonable. Knocked a star off because you have to go upstairs for the bathroom. Upstairs is the restaurant proper. Downstairs is the bar with several tables. Other than going upstairs for the bathroom, everything was great. Highly recommend dropping by! Enjoy!

Great bar/restaurant. Had oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktail and fried clams. All of 'em were awesome. Definitely recommend for fresh seafood.

I’m a throughly impressed with the friendly staff and good food. The oysters and clams were great and the beer is ice cold! The waiters/bartenders will share stories with you and ensure you have a great experience. I definitely will come back for my oyster and beer fix.

Is there parking available for Benjamin's Restaurant in Newport, RI?

There is no valet parking. It’s located on a busy cobblestone one one street, with metered parking on one side. Parking in the peak season (May-Sep) will be hard to find, so plan to park a block or two away and walk. Or take a pedicab (they’re all over).

Do they have early bird discounts or lunch specials and what are the times

Does this place always discuss politics and yell at people? Seems to be a bit of a trend lately. I used to love it here

Who there....not my President whiners, or the slow gloating idiots. There's always a couple.
