Hemenway’s In Rhode Island Is Known For A Single Menu Item

It's no secret that we love our seafood here in Rhode Island. And since we can get access to some of the best, we're pretty spoiled by the selection. Hemenway's Seafood Grill & Oyster Bar is a great example of a place that uses time-honored recipes for classic seafood dishes while adding a contemporary twist. Ask any regular patron what their favorite thing on the menu is and you might be surprised by the answer.

Hemenway's Seafood Grill & Oyster Bar is located on South Main Street in downtown Providence.

If you've passed by in recent months, you may have noticed the new outdoor dining setup, meant to make patrons feel more comfortable and safe while they dine.

This place has been a beloved local favorite for over 20 years, and they just keep getting better.

In addition to the tasty food, they're known for friendly service and great hospitality.

The seafood is as fresh as it gets, and it's flown in daily from all over the world.

It's also locally sourced from New Bedford, Boston, Gloucester, Point Judith, and Rockland, Maine.

Whether you're a fan of shellfish, salmon, yellowfin tuna, or fried seafood, you'll find it here.

And everything is prepared to the highest of standards, so you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

The lobster can be prepared in several ways, from baked or grilled to pan-seared.

You can even opt to stuff the lobster with shrimp, scallops, and crab.

The lobster bisque is such a huge hit, you'd think that would be the most popular menu item (and it's close)...

... but all the regular customers will tell you that it's the Bacon & Scallion Wrapped Scallops that are the biggest hit.

Each scallop is carefully wrapped with quality bacon, sautéed with scallions, and served with a scrumptious soy-ginger dipping sauce. This menu item is listed as a starter, but we wouldn't blame you if your ordered some just for yourself as an entree.

Whatever delicacies you decide on, Hemenway's will always deliver delicious seafood.

They're open for dine-in and takeout Monday - Friday from 4:30 - 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from noon - 9 p.m.
