“Was in the mood for steak and thought this would be the spot I mean it looked like a place that would serve up a Fat Cut of Beef was mistaken so my Bad but stayed and it was I guess aight food was whatever but the alcohol did its job. It was definitely very cool to see that they had corn hole and when it got dark the live music picked up and volume went up so we made it to The bar for a few shots which was really nice.“

Look forward to a return visit!Vegetarian options: Standard veg fare offered here.Dietary restrictions: Good gluten-free bread offered.Parking: Large, free parking lot.“

“Our dinner last night at the historic General Stanton Inn was absolutely wonderful! We sat in the classic and very charming New England style tavern area over by the beautiful stone fireplace! The staff and the owner are super friendly and welcoming! We were a party of 4 and everyone loved their meal! Two of us ordered the Braised Short Ribs served with mashed potatoes and broccolini. They were fantastic- right up there as the best short ribs I have ever had! This is one of my favorite dishes so I have ordered them at a lot of different restaurants! The two other people we were with ordered the Bolognese and the Stanton Sirloin . Both said their meals were delicious!For dessert, two of us ordered the Chocolate Chip Skillet dessert which was SO GOOD and two people had the Salted Caramel Gelato! As an added bonus before we left, Kevin, the restaurant manager, kindly gave us a tour of the other historic dining rooms on site and a little bit of history on each room and some of the visitors that stayed and dined here, from George Washington to Al Capone.I highly recommend this place! I think the friendly staff, delicious food, and great overall vibe make it a must-visit spot if you have not yet been to the General Stanton Inn!“

“We had a delightful (off season) lunch at this lovely, spacious restaurant/bar off the main road in Charlestown, RI. We ate at the beautiful wide wooden bar and had a delicious and reasonably priced meal. The service was friendly, local, prompt and attentive. My cajun spiced flounder with horseradish aioli over rice with salsa was delicious, a very generous portion (made two meals) and spiced perfectly rather than the limited bland "cajun" food served elsewhere around here. The Garlic Bread Bites were also delicious. A lovely, quiet, delicious and very affordable meal just a minute off the beaten track. Highly recommend it, especially off season in South County, RI!“

“We had the special bass and chicken as well as the fish taco appetizer and Indian pudding/blueberry cake for dessert. All were wonderful! We have eaten breakfast here before, a delicious Eggs Benedict, and on another occasion, ordered yummy egg sandwiches to go. Service is wonderful, food is fantastic, and ambience is homey. We feel fortunate to live nearby!“

“Absolutely delicious!! My new favorite restaurant. The service was excellent. The bartender was friendly and made delicious cocktails- the pear martini was especially delicious. I had the duck ramen and my husband had the steak. Everything was outstanding. I highly recommend!!“

“Got the steak and cheese empanada and the Cuban sandwich. Empanada was fried perfectly and was filled to the brim. The sandwich was similarly excellent, only nit-picky thing I have is it came with lettuce tomato and onion, which isn’t traditional but still delicious either “

“I hadn't been here in a few years. I remember the last time the food was just so so, it might have been a different management at that point. So I was pleasantly surprised with the food. I had the Philly cheese steak and it was absolutely delicious.“

“I love this place. Pace of play always seems to be reasonable. The conditions are more than adequate for the price. Pretty gettable layout, but some unexpected challenges can bite you (looking at you, #7 and #8). The rock-hard greens in the summer are venomous for those of us who like to play airborne golf. Back "5" holes across the road are insanity. Local knowledge required.NO TEE TIMES. Always open. Ol' reliable.“

“Homestead has been a family favorite since Matt first opened the place! Hearing that they had a new owner we decided to visit and see what has changed. We weren't disappointed; they've kept all the old favorites and had an interesting list of specials. Knowing there was a new chef I thought I'd try items off the Specials menu. The Calamari Olio was delicious !! There was a great ratio of tomatoes, olives and peppers to the calamari. The rings themselves were cooked to perfection; I'd definitely order it again! Corn chowder and clam chowder were great as always. My husband went for the fried scallops served with fries and slaw. It was just as good as always. I tried the chicken piccata with potato and veggie. It was scrumptious!! I dare so it was so flavorful that I don't think it even needed the breading on the chicken. The servers, as always, are super friendly, efficient and add to the dining experience. The kitchen was a bit backed up but it's an all new back house staff and I have no doubt they will have it together in short order. Don't let reviews about the place being a local hangout serving 'comfort food' dissuade you from making the drive. The homey atmosphere, the front staff service and the food itself make it worth the drive! We will definitely continue to keep The Homestead in our list of places to dine!“

“We had a bit of a slow, inattentive waitress who took away our drinks and never offered or asked if we wanted seconds (mind you our next-door-table had arrived after us and gotten drinks and apps before we had water and drinks), but that did not take away from the amazing food, sunset, atmosphere and prices!“

“Slightly higher prices than other breakfast places but you get what you pay for here. Great food, no matter what you like for breakfast, nicely presented with a touch of class like cloth napkins, attentive service and well separated seating.“
