We have been many times and always have a wonderful meal with amazing view. Service: excellent - the servers are all from the island and not imported college students - they will do whatever it takes to make sure you have a great experience. Food: very good - we love the clear chowder (only in the winter will they offer... More

We stopped by on the way back from the north lighthouse to have a beer. We were biking and needed a rest. The people were so nice that we decided to return for dinner. We were not disappointed. We had a wonderful dinner of stuffed haddock for only $12.99 each. We would reccomend the Beachead to anyone who wants great... More

We had a good meal here. It was a nice walk from our inn (about 1 mile) and wasn't crowded on a Thurs night in Sept. Our waiter was great -- very attentive. The food was average but the wine was reasonably priced. We had a burger and grilled salmon. Probably a good place or lunch.

Pretty much what you expect when you go to a resort Island. Standard menu, high prices, and staff that knows they won't ever see you again. I would go again but there are a lot of other places on the Island I would try first.

The Good: Went on Labor Day weekend and were seated for lunch immediately outside. Very nice laid back beach type atmosphere. The portobello mushroom sandwich was phenomenal. Crunchy caramelized onions, spinach, balsamic-Excellent. The Bad: The outside tables were not cleaned very well and were sticky from previous diners. The Ugly: The service people (one waitress in particular) were miserable, not... More

The menu is overpriced, vegetarian caprese wrap is a disappoinment at $9.99, service is a bit slow, the view of the beach is terrific but I feel like you could do better elsewhere on Block Island. Chicken wigs disappointed but asparagus appetizer was good.

Very friendly service, beautiful views, food is OK, great atmosphere for kids with a beachy feel. Definitely dine outside. Prices/portions are very good for Block Island and the wait (if any) is usually quick.

I've never had such a wonderful dinner--the mussels & linguica over linguini was incredible! Beautiful sunset views and fabulous sangria...what more could you ask for :)
