Truly one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had on the island. We arrived and they were busy, so we put our name on a list. Waited an hour without being told the wait would be even remotely that and when we asked very politely about an open table, the hostess was incredibly rude and told us she “couldn’t make people get up” and that she’d have to wait for several other people to show up and see if she could offer them the table first. Even though we were there and ready to sit and had been for an hour, and we’d offered to share the table with other people. don’t really understand the need to be rude to us especially given we’d waited for an hour without a single comment.

The Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese was really good. I had seen so much live music when I had on other nights walked past, but somehow tonight, no. They did some type of mega Trivial Pursuit type game, with the whole place, and although it was not for me, the crowd did get into it.
Fun spot. Usual Block Island high prices/ compared to food level, but better than the average on that for Block Island.
Would return.

An excellent place if you want a cozy, comfortable, welcoming place. I had the buffalo chicken snack and the poor burger. Both were excellent! Service was excellent. Fun place and comfort food.
Doesn’t matter about the food - plenty of other places… The staff is unkind and rude. Three young women standing at a hostess stand with no one in the restaurant on a Monday and they refused to help me with a medical problem requiring a bathroom because I wasn’t a paying customer, despite being in tears while asking them and telling them it was an emergency. I don’t care how good the food is. In this day and age, if you can’t extend some kindness to someone who needs it and is asking for it, I’m not giving you business. Awful.
The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I had a chicken wrap, a burger with fries, and chips. The service was good, and the ambiance was very nice. If you visit Rhode Island, I would highly recommend this place.
Had a wonderful lunch with Ben today. My sides are hurting from laughing so hard. Great food, staff, and atmosphere! Just wish Ben would leave some girls for the rest of us😂

My husband and I visited this establishment 3 times while in Block Island last weekend in October. It was one of the very few places open. We loved the staff, food and drinks!
