“We've never been to the Rathskellar (and we are RI'er's) until this summer. We love it!! Everything about it. The service, the food is amazing!! The drinks! The bands out back. The place itself is awesome! We have tickets to so many bands until October. So excited!“

“Food was great, I had the short rib bolognese, it could feed more than 1!! Service was great, and met a few nice people who recommended that ice cream cookie!! Great experience!“

“Every bite was more delicious than the last. The staff is lovely. The chef is incredibly talented. My family and I can’t wait to come back and try more things on the menu! I love this place!“

“My wife and I discovered the Hungry Haven a few weeks ago. We’ve been back four times and haven’t been disappointed yet. The food is great service is great good portions quaint atmosphere, if your hungry and in the area, Hungry Haven is the place.“

“Great food, great service, honestly my favorite restaurant in Charlestown; we have previously sat in both the tavern and the dining room but this time we sat in a quaint small side room with a fireplace; chatted with the diners at the table next to us who were two 80 year old sisters that spent their summers as children in Charlestown and had not been back in 50 years; so we made new friends and had another great experience at General Stanton.“

“Wonderful food, casual atmosphere and excellent service.“

“Just wanted to take a moment to compliment the service we received from Amanda! It was pretty busy, the restaurant was at capacity, and she was fantastic! I appreciate a server who does a great job, and she handled our table with a perfect display of relaxed competence. Well done!“

“Had a great dinner to a celebrate someone’s birthday and someone else’s new job. The food was excellent and I can’t wait to come back. The Eastern Calamari was a highlight; the sauce it was served in had a umami-sweet flavor that was well-suited to the crispy calamari. For entrees, the chicken and waffle and the short rib were the stars. The chicken parmesan sandwich, spicy chicken and pork belly ramen, and Rhody fish and chips were all also very good. There was a ton of fish and chips coming out of the kitchen and headed toward other tables, so that seems to be a popular choice. For dessert, we tried the molten lava cake, farm cobbler, and gelato. There was variation in which dessert was the favorite, but everyone was impressed with the gelato. Even though gelato may not be most folks’ top choice for dessert when there are cakes and other options on the menu, it had a really unique (more solid) texture and the taste was really excellent. I highly recommend this spot!“

“Whether you're at URI for the school year or a local here in South Kingstown, you need to know Big Mamma. The nicest, sweetest woman who makes sure your food is made with love. Food is always outstanding no matter what you choose. The service always comes with kind words and a big smile. As a local who has known mamma for years, as long as rhode house is open I'll be a loyal customer.“

“Just a sumptuous dinner at one of the most stately of resorts. Everything about the visit was 5 stars plus! The staff is top notch and exceptionally friendly. Our server was Ricardo and he was excellent. The most serene water view from our table added to the ambience. The summer campanelle and the Italian sausage rigatoni were perfect. The chocolate torte and the panna cotta were perfect. The drinks such as the Weekapaug sunrise were perfect. Definitely a place to come back to again and again.“

“Outstanding! I was back for dinner last weekend with my wife. We had the firecracker starter, honey lavender salmon, and of course the burger, which were all cooked to perfection. The chef delivers every time and Tara makes an amazing martini. They have become our year-round go-to in all of Westerly. In the fall/winter months, we love settling into a cocktail by their stone fireplace, which is the centerpiece of the Inn. In the summer months, having dinner while enjoying their Friday evening live music is the best way to start the weekend. From the moment you walk in, Michael and Rob make you feel like you’re at home. Their ambience, food, cocktails, and service are unmatched. They’ve done a really nice job here.“

“I have been dining at Wood River Golf for over 10 years maybe even closer to 20 they have had their ups and downs especially during "C". Dinner this past Saturday night was fabulous. Their chicken parmesan is still the best around. I can say with confidence I have never had a bad meal there. Prime rib Saturday was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend! I know everyone has been struggling to find good help but thank the Lord they have a strong family support system and a wonderful bartender who has always been loyal.“

“Great food, great prices, friendly staff!“

“we have been there for their Breakfast, and Dinner. both were superb! the new owner greeted us upon sitting down , took the time to listen to us, and came back after our meal to make sure everything was good. No complaints here! 10 out of 10!!“

“Fabulous 😍
Enjoyed the Lobster Roll, homemade chips, wine and key lime cheesecake! Our waitress was super attentive and efficient. Prices are fair, if you plan to have more than one glass of wine...in some cases it's more cost efficient to buy the bottle! There is a takeout window and a Tiki Bar on George's beach. Next time, we plan to stay there for the day! Great views of all the boats made for a really wonderful day.“

“Best lobster bisque in all of RI! Love the fried clams dinner, chowder and a real good Bloody Mary ☺️. Jimmy's is a must try, you'll never go to any other seafood restaurant in Narragansett/Galilee.“

“for a while, mostly last year. They delayed my request to withdraw my money, they extort me by telling me that I send them more money, if I don't send the money I lose all my investment. Lesson learnt and money returned by visiting the web address www, CP-investigation.com , I couldn't be more grateful. Don't invest with unknown brokers and if you have to, avoid these people, this people will only take your money.“

“Great food good people I haven’t had a meal that I’ve been disappointed with“

“Great place to listen to a band, play some corn hole, have a few drinks and have the best lobster roll in RI!“

“One of the best brisket sandwiches I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try more of your food. A+“

“Great breakfast only complaint is the home fries tasted like fried clams time to change the oil“

“We learned of Mews as both our kids went to URI. Our kids love the casual atmosphere and love the food. I’m here to give high praises to our waiter Peter. Having many dietary restrictions, he was so patient, and did everything he could to find an entree for me. I ended up with just basic salmon and brocolli - they tried, didn’t charge us for the full entree, I really truly appreciate that. Most eateries do not. My husband loved his Philly steak sandwich and great selection of beer! 1 out of 10 people can not digest alliums and dairy. Hint: Cabot Cheddar is lactose free, mayonnaise is not dairy : ).“

“One of the best burgers I've had in the area. Service was terrific.“
