50 Best American Restaurants near Kingston

“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.“

“Without a doubt the best location in the emporium. Lemme rephrase, best place in the state for calzones. I’ve been coming here for over 6 years now. I cannot recommend it enough, I’ve gotten my family and friends addicted too. Erika, who I believe is also the owner, is so unbelievably sweet and has recognized me on several occasions. She’s always there making sure that her business is the best it can be and it’s always phenomenal. Everything is made to order and always done before the expected time. I’ve tried at least 8 different calzones and I can never pick a favorite. Can’t eat a whole calzone? Get an empanada, also lights out. I personally don’t eat pizza anymore because it doesn’t hold a candle to the Rhodehouse’s calzones. Between the amazing customer service and food, I will continue coming here until I die.“

“great food I give it a 10 out of 10“

“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“

“Opened at noon. We walk in with almost twenty people after a service at the veterans cemetery. They handled us well. Quickly and efficiently, friendly, and professionally. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and drinks. I had never been there before, but I would definitely go back.“

“Friendly, great food, fair prices!“

“amazing place , the meatball grinder was the best“

“Great atmosphere and selection of beers and other adult beverages. Lots of great seating. The bartender was super friendly and helpful too. The craft beer that is better than you find at other brew pubs. Awesome variety. I left my phone there and management was incredibly helpful in coordinating a time for me to pick it up. Can’t wait to go back.“

“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 a vegan who loves the ocean, dining near the coast is usually a frustrating routine: settling for a basic green salad and french fries that taste like they were fried in the same oil as the seafood (because they were.)
This spot is a game-changer! Plenty of seafood options for the usual patrons, and the menu is clearly labeled with dairy-free and gluten-free options as well. They also offer a dedicated vegan dish that's NOT the usual veggie burger or pasta marinara. The Cold Soba Noodle Bowl wasn't just an afterthought—it was beautifully made, incredibly tasty, and came in a great portion size.
It is so refreshing to finally enjoy the beach vibes without compromising on a great meal. The house brand beer and hot sauces were great as well. I will definitely be back!“

“Always great sandwiches. The real deal NYC deli. Today on the specials board was a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Sweet and very spicy. I loved it. Lots of pickles. And a thick coating of the sauce. Probably the best one I have had. And as usual excellent onion rings.“

“The coffee shop or Camden’s“

“This place was AWESOME. The food menu was huge, with a lot of varieties and reasonable price points. The portion sizes were fairly large and the food was delicious. They also have a lot of options for gluten free meals. Our server Lauren was very welcoming, kind, funny and attentive. Great vibes all around!“

“Always responsive, friendly, always going out of their way for special orders.“

“Best seafood in Rhode Island! If the line is long, it is worth the wait! We have been going since we moved here in 2020, and have taken multiple out-of-state guests who also love it and always ask to go back! If you have multiple food allergies, like gluten, dairy, and nuts, they are also great at accommodating! I haven’t gotten sick once yet! It was also the first restaurant our August newborn went to in 2022; his current favorite is fried shrimp and fries! Highly recommend Jimmy’s for the food, the iconic Block Island ferry atmosphere, and the hardworking, loving family who are wicked friendly when they aren’t immensely busy. We will be there next month for the first time this year! 🥳“

“Beautiful atmosphere and amazing staff. I have been here a couple times and each time has never failed. I’ve had a handful of different meals and each was cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. Highly recommend and it has become one of my favorite breakfast or lunch spots.“

“Awesome food we’re just there this evening party of eight had an outstanding meal great time. It was a great time. The service was impeccable . Haley was outstanding as always. great food great night thank you“

“Bon Vue was one of our “go to” bars for a couple beers and food, but disappointed recently at being charged $9 for a whalers rise draft on a Thursday afternoon, off season. For a dive bar, that’s excessive.“

“A great local Irish pub with a diverse menu to make everyone happy.“

“Great location and staff. Coffee is awesome as are the baked goods and lunch options. We love visiting Java because it's such a welcoming place to hang out.“

“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!!“

“Your waitress Juliann is the best!! She has empathy, kindness, generosity and she will go out of her way and keep it real like she loves and cherishes serving folks. She is a sweetheart!!!! Please keep folks like her serving people because she made me feel welcomed and like I was special. She listens and the girl definitely has a gift with dealing with people. We need more waitresses like Julianne with her beautiful self!!!!“

“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.“

“Wonderful atmosphere and service“

“We stopped in here randomly on our way to the Farmer’s Daughter Fall Festival. It was such a good experience it’s now part of our tradition. Our girls remembered, a year later, how much they enjoyed it. Allie’s has great food and service. And it starts at the top. The owner takes a lot of pride in the place . While we were there he came out and asked everyone if we were enjoying the food. And before I left he shook my hand and remembered who I was (from a year ago). The place is adjacent to a college campus (I went to URI so I found it reminiscing as I drove thru) so you might not think of it for a meal out with your family. But you should. And the prices are really fair for the portions you get. This is a business we need to support. We WILL return. At least once a year and more if possible.“

“If you are looking for good bbq you should not overlook this place.

Prices are very reasonable the food is above average and even though it is hard to tell from the outside it has great atmosphere. Live music and nice outside area. With a huge fire pit.

Eaten here numerous times and never had a bad meal.

Free peanuts and popcorn while you wait!“

“Nice town Bar/Grill. Staff is friendly. Food is excellent. Had potatoe skins, cheeseburger, and a cheeseburger club. The fell victim to the happiest accidents. They had no white bread and asked if rye was ok. I said sure reluctantly. I am a convert, at least there. The rye bread was fantastic. Can't wait to go back!“

“The food and cocktails were on point. We had the roasted Brussels sprouts and bacon wrapped scallops for appetizers. The scallops were smaller and lacked a good sear and the bacon lacked a good crisp, but the flavor of the scallops was fresh and sweet. The Brussels sprouts were a good size portion, tender, crisp and flavorful. Three of us had the Chicken Cordon Bleu and found it to be juicy, flavorful and a perfectly done preparation of this dish. I had the beef Wellington and would highly recommend. However, what really set this dinner apart was the absolutely impeccable service. The waitstaff was always right there to refill water glasses, provide fresh plates and cutlery as needed, take orders, etc but never hovered. At the conclusion of the meal, they were quick to bring our bill, quick to pick up payment and provide receipt, yet we never felt rushed to leave. They even refilled our water glasses after we had paid, making us fell welcome to linger and chat. It is rare to experience this level of hospitality outside of Europe and for this reason we will be back and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to actually dine with friends.“

“Super nice staff, yummy food, on a deck by the sea. What more can you ask for? Well, for me, I could ask for a vegetarian entre. I chose this restaurant based on an old menu that showed eggplant parmesan. But that was last year’s menu. This year there are none. BUT the cook whipped up pasta primavera for me on request. We had fried pickles, coconut shrimp, beet and arugula salad, the pasta primavera, and a couple of cocktails. All were nicely prepared and delicious. I’ll add photos of the updated menu.“

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

“We love eating outside downstairs. The food is super delicious and good choices too. We always have great service and food. Entertainment is great. We had a lovely waitress Jena last night. She was very attentive social and a great person. Love the new renovation. Will be back soon!“

“Absolutely awesome atmosphere. Lovely, loud, and fun. Perfect for kids! The booths are awesome and the vibe is just so cool. The food was really good too (as a foodie). Everyone in my large party was satisfied, apart from one whose burger was less well done that desired. We really enjoyed our visit and wished we lived closer!“
