“I've been for brunch last year and it was amazing! Mixed up days and ended up here for lunch instead, my poor planning, oops.

Noodles are life. Peanut noodles win chicken. Amazing, sweet, lots of ginger, chicken was so tasty.

Other food was the cod sandwich. Just, the thing was giant.

Show stopping star, these fries on that plate are the greatest fries I've ever had and now I have to figure out how to convince my Rhode island born self that I need to make be drive more than once or twice a year. Couldn't stop eating them and that wasn't my plate!“

“My friend took me to T's for breakfast. The restaurant is very welcoming and the decor is excellent.
My server was very nice and seemed to anticipate my every desire. She was really caring and did everything to accommodate our table.
I ordered the Eggs Benedict. The plate came with yogurt. I asked her if she could put a few blueberries in it. She added the blueberries and a few strawberries as well. Very generous!
The eggs Benedict Classic was outstanding. Tasty, perfectly cooked and hot right from the kitchen. I can say they were the best I have has in memory.
T's will not disappoint. I would recommend T's to any of my friends. You won't be let down. The five star review is truly merited.

“First time in. Monday night special is quite the deal! Food tasted excellent and portions are large. I was able to take home plenty of food and my unfinished bottle of wine. We did feel a bit rushed. Not only to place our order but appetizers and salads were served at the same time to our small table. We were asked multiple times if we were done with courses when we had forks in our hands. Because the food was delicious and very well prepared we’ll give it another try and hope for a better service experience.“

“Great food and atmosphere. I had seared scallops over risotto that was excellent.“

“Myself and My dad went for the first time ever on Thursday May 9th. we are both huge seafood lovers however my mom and my husband are not. So we planned a night out and our number one goal was to look for a great Buck A Shuck with an excellent menu! We found both, my dad saw the Oyster Po Boy and he was sold right there. We arrived shortly after they opened around 3 and took our seats at the bar. I am horrible at remembering names. We ordered a dozen(6 for each) oysters. Shortly after we realized we should have ordered a dozen(6 for each) little necks. I am sorry for the inconvenience of not ordering them at the same time. After eating both the dozen oysters and little necks which was truly fascinating to watch as he just shucked them open with no problem. I ordered the Salmon Burger which was AMAZING and my dad got his Oyster Po Boy. Which he also said was AMAZING. The bartender asked if we saved room for dessert. However we both looked at each other laughed and ordered another dozen (6 for each)oysters as a dessert. All in All the food was great. Everything tasted so fresh they oysters and little necks were so sweet and briney. Fantastic!! Loved the atmosphere and watching all the orders go out and the gentlemen just shuck away at the oysters and little necks. Looking forward to the next time we come!!“
