Comfort Food Restaurants near Coventry, RI

“fantastic food and drinks, great atmosphere. live music some nights. meghan is the best waitress!“

“What a fantastic dining experience my family had tonight. Cocktails were superb, my rare tuna tacos were not only the best tacos I’ve ever eaten, it was one of the top 3 meals I’ve ever had. My wife had the rib eye melt which was equally as delicious, and my daughter loved her Mac & cheese and green beans. I started with white chowder which is typically good no matter where you get it in New England, but there’s was excellent. As good as the food was, it was the service from Alexa that made it so memorable. She was friendly and accommodating like any server would or should be, but she went beyond that making us feel like friends and family. Extra kudos to her for being a superstar. All in all, this was a 10+ dining experience even though the best is 5. Back 40 and their sister restaurants are all the best that RI has to offer.“

“Cork and Rye is a regular stop on the rotation of restaurants that for me and my wife. The food has always been excellent and interesting and the staff has always been professional and accommodating. On my latest visit this evening everything was excellent across the board but when i was presented with the check it stated that I would be paying more to use my debit card than I would if I had cash. I had no indication anywhere on the website or within the restaurant that this payment scheme was going to happen until i had already eaten and asked for the check. First of all we all moved to debit payments decades ago and it was going fine until very recently when ownership of various businesses suddenly were faced with making their margins which are notoriously thin. I get that but that is not my problem. My problem is that i had no idea and I dont typically carry around bags of cash for the one off business that simply does not want to absorb the price of doing business. I had no line item after i grudgingly paid with my debit stating the extra 3-4 % for the debit use (which is considered cash normally as it comes right out of my bank account). I do feel a bit cheated and that goes to my bottom line. I have the funds to spend wherever I want and i chose to spend them here but I am seriously considering not coming back.

7/20/26...followup from the mgr stated that debit charges should reflect as cash and they were looking into why this transaction was not handled correctly.“
