46 Best American Restaurants near Jamestown

“We contracted Angles Kitchen to cater the reception following my father's memorial service. I got so many compliments on the food, and I know that several guests sought out John to complement him personally. The service was both professional and warm. We plan on using them again for two events this Summer. Full caveat; they'er a little laid-back, and their were a few times when I got nervous, but in the end...TOTAL professionals (did I mention that the food was prepared on-site?) I give Angels Kitchen my highest recommendation.“

“Always a perfect experience! Delicious food. Pleasant, professional, knowledgeable staff and amazing indoor and outdoor atmosphere. Love this place! ❤️“

“Nice service and good coffee“

“Amazing views of Jamestown harbor on a perfect day in June. GIANT sandwiches. Delicious!“

“Very disappointed. My husband says try again on a weekend day. Went Monday 4pm. Food was terrible. Fish was completely dried out. Shrimp cocktail was slimy and sour. Good service. Lovely view. However won't be back“

“Great place/ dive bar, live music, great food“

“Beautiful spot to watch passing boats . Excellent meal . Swordfish was one of the best !“

“We just enjoyed a late lunch that was absolutely delicious! The lobster bisque was a great starter but the lobster Mac and cheese was the BEST we’ve ever had. Giant chunks of lobster were buried amongst the creamy noodles. We shared the lobster dish and it was plenty. \nThe fresh cod/ Fish-n-chips was also excellent, flaky light white fish. We waited 45 mins for our table, while sipping hot spiced cider - the food was well worth the wait.“

“Friendly staff and delicious food/drinks. Highly recommended“

“The White Horse Tavern is such an iconic part of Newport and truly offers an experience unlike anywhere else. From the historic setting to the incredible food and hospitality, it’s easy to see why it has remained such a special destination. We were thrilled to partner with their team for our Living Local Giveaway!“

“Cru Café is an excellent spot in Newport. Even when it’s busy, the line moves quickly and service is friendly and efficient. The staff is cheerful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is fresh, fast, and absolutely delicious. A great place worth visiting!“

“If you’re coming to visit Newport and haven’t heard of Jo’s, it’s because it’s a hidden gem! Amazing local farm-to-table options that keep us and those who visit us asking to go back to that one place in Newport, I really loved! The service to guests with one or more allergies was superb! The chef personally came to our table on each visit to discuss what meals were safe to order. I have multiple allergies, so sometimes they would have made me my own off-the-menu special dish. I’ve never gotten sick once, and everyone who goes there with us when they visit always asks to go back on their next trip! ♥️“

“Steph and the team at scratch were SUPERB! Our catering order was perfect (tho we were sad the croissant machine was down) every thing was piping hot (or nice an cool). Everything was SOOO good. Ordering was easy, Steph ensured we had a great variety and enough to feed the post-wedding crowd. We did have breakfast here and it was stellar! Any event you need catered, be sure to check Steph and the team out. You will, NOT be disappointed!“

“Just finished great meal. Huge lobster roll, high quality kids chicken and big beefy kids burger. I had the fish n chips which was amazing! Old Bay fries and what had to be a whole Cod! The best part was Peter N. He was very informative, quick in serving the kids which lets Mom and Dad relax. Such a great day and great meal.“

“I came here as they opened, early week for the first time and seemed to have an off experience.

I came back to give it another shot and boy did they make up for it. The fish tacos and pesto pasta were absolutely outstanding. The roof top is a great experience and I could imagine that on a Friday night , it’s a worthwhile experience.“

“Just had breakfast here yesterday for Mother's Day with my daughter's! Food is delicious, everything was so fresh. Friendly staff and such a comfy cozy atmosphere. We felt right at home and will definitely be back! Thank you for great, friendly service.“

“Such amazing flavors was a taste bud explosion! Definitely an under rated restaurant in Newport!“

“Food is fresh and awesomely prepared. The manager Steve is the BEST! He even made a special trip to deliver their luscious lobster eggs benedict to a senior who doesn't drive and just had to have that dish one morning!“

“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!“

“This Applebee’s was very clean and comfortable. We were greeted at the door, sat at a booth, and followed by menus immediately. Everything fell in to place and I highly recommend to anyone traveling in this area to not hesitate to if hankering for some eats to stop on in!!“

“Great waitstaff excellent food, one of the best restaurants in the area I’ve never been disappointed there“

“Great but! I don’t buy things like this usually but it’s easy to use at all of our favorite spots around town and is basically free after the first use. Highly recommend!“

“We had a great birthday experience aboard the train & plan on returning many times. We chose The Spruce Car, (as opposed to the murder mystery) which is aptly named, as it's filled with rich, warm woods. The cozy lighting & up-scale, but not pretentious, decor created the perfect ambiance for a romantic birthday. Dinner service was nothing short of wonderful. Our server, Maddie, was friendly, beautiful, and attentive. Both of our dinners were delicious and the cocktails were perfect. More locals should enjoy the Bellevue Grand. It's worth every penny.“

“Came here for Mother’s Day and our table came complete with a picture of my family in a frame. What a nice touch! The food was delicious and our waitress was perfect. She knew exactly what we were going to need having two kids under 4 with us. This is my favorite place in Newport and they hit the mark yet again.“

“Went to the Coast Guard House for my daughter's birthday a couple of weeks ago. Our server Julie made us feel comfortable like family. She was very attentive taking care of every need we might have. The food was great. I will definitely be back. Hope I get Julie for a server again.“

“As visitors from New York, where late-night dining is the norm, we often find it challenging to find quality food options after 9 p.m. when traveling. Gas Lamp Grille truly stands out in this regard, making it easy to enjoy a great meal even later in the evening. We’ve visited multiple times and consistently have a great experience. Seating is always quick, and the service is prompt, friendly, and attentive. The lobster rolls—both chilled and hot—are excellent every time. We also appreciate the option to choose between traditional fries, sweet potato fries, or a salad, allowing for a bit of flexibility while still enjoying a favorite dish. Whether the restaurant is busy during a UConn game or more relaxed on a quieter evening, the staff remains efficient and welcoming. It has become one of our go-to spots whenever we’re in Newport.“

“Living in the local area, this place is my 'go to' for an inexpensive meal. Service is great, never had a problem with any of the food (I've been eating here for years), & if you sit at the bar like I do - the locals are very friendly to say the least“

“We’ve had a couple meals at the Helmway and they were delicious! The calamari is crispy and done just right, the harvest salad is excellent! The scallops were done to perfection…sweet and tender. The lobster risotto is excellent too! We had the cinnamon toast bread pudding…just wow!! The wine selection is just right! We’ll definitely go back and highly recommend the Helmway!! I couldn’t find a place to give it stars, but I would definitely give it 5 out of 5!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Spectacular dining experience between the service, Sarah and Olivia were phenomenal! The food, the scratch made fettuccine was perfectly cooked and coated with the hearty bolognese full of flavor, the eggplant app was mouthwatering and the Gorgonzola dip w/ garlic bread was incredible- they should bottle the stuff! The atmosphere was inviting and full of locals who were eager to share their recommendations! 10/10 will be back!“

“I was there last night and it was packed! The food was excellent and our server, Rowan was amazing. You could tell he was hustling but was always on top of things and never appeared overwhelmed. He was so kind and friendly. He gave us the right amount of attention. He was very attentive. We didn't feel rushed and we never felt as though we were waiting too long either. Very patient when we couldn't decide between all of the delicious sounding choices. Can't wait to go back!“

“This place has the best corned beef and sweet potato hash in RI, the staff is very friendly they make you feel totally at home if you are ever in this area do yourself a favor and grab a bite to eat here you’ll be thanking me later.“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“

“We came in Sunday evening for a small dinner and dessert and sat at the bar. The bartender was attentive and filled our drinks quickly. It was pretty empty when we got there but packed when we left. The food was AMAZING. We shared the short rib special and it was so good! For dessert we had the chocolate mousse and bread pudding which were also sooooo good! The restaurant itself was beautiful. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely dine here again!“
