  There’s a reason why they say “Ballards has it all”. I had an impromptu visit to block island and stopped into Ballards first. My partner & I enjoyed their breakfast, which was complete with a beautiful view (you are literally RIGHT on the beach!) also, they offered a $10 steak breakfast that you just can’t beat. Afterwards, we explored the island and found ourselves back at Ballard’s as it offered everything we needed. We enjoyed a VIP cabana, which we lounged in for hours, ordered table side service, and relaxed. The service was amazing, so attentive, and made us feel special the whole time.
  
  We’ll be back!! Pro tip: Ballard’s is close to the ferry making it a great first stop.

  I’m posting this review in winter because I am wishing I WAS AT BALLARD’s RIGHT NOW!!!specifically eating the best lobster roll I had all year!
  
  I love Ballard’s! I love taking the ferry there and feeling like I am on vacation for the day. Ballard’s is more than a regular beach day. It’s a fun party with a resort feel. The slushies are perfect for a hot day (even more perfect when you get them in a fun cup) and the live music on the beach elevates the entire experience, creating an unbeatable atmosphere that feels like a celebration without ever being overwhelming.
  
  You have to check out Ballards if you are in Rhode Island. And when you go, get the lobster roll!!

  Good evening, September 21st or 22nd, I went to Block Island with friends and I was very excited to take them to Ballards. My first time here was in May this year. I have to say the oysters were my absolute favorite. I ordered two dozen for myself.
  
  I was very excited to show my friends and have them try oysters for the first time. Unfortunately they didn’t get to try because the oysters that came out looked very discolored and dilapidated. I was so so excited to have the oysters again but on Sunday it was nothing like the oysters you served before. The difference was night and day.
  
  I didn’t complain or send it back because we were still waiting on the rest of our food. The price of $48 was worth it to me when it was fresh, but on Sunday I had to force myself to eat it so I don’t waste almost $50. To be able to get it down I drowned it in Tabasco sauce. I have pictures and the shells are also discolored as if the oysters were sitting out for a while.
  I’m also taken back at whoever thought this was appropriate to serve to a customer.
  
  I was not only disappointed, I was embarrassed by hyping something up to my friends-just to be let down.
  
  The pasta was good and pretty.

  Really fun place to hang out at while you are on the island.
  You can sit inside or eat at tables ON the beach. Either way, it’s a great view and really relaxing.
  At night they have music so you can drink at the bar and listen.
  It’s easy to walk to from “town”.
  I had a frozen mudslide. It was delicious. Just remember though. It has alcohol in it!
  The food was good. The steak and lobster rolls were good. But you shouldn’t go for the quality of the food. You should go for the atmosphere and to enjoy what the place has to offer.
  Buy a shirt too!

  Wow! So impressed with this place. Ballards had the best linguini and clams! Lived the lobster roll too. Service was awesome.
