25 Best American Restaurants in Newport

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

“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.“

“Excellent server, food and the music is great!“

“Ate here for the first time last night and it was amazing. Food was great, but the service was even better! Very friendly and accommodating.“

“We totally enjoyed the nostalgic ambiance of Brick Alley Pub, and the food portion and pricing were reasonable. The chicken piccata was tender and delicious served over thin spaghetti. My husband's fish sandwich was thick, crispy and very good! Service was wonderful and fast. We look forward to visiting again. Parking is available in lots close by or walkable from hotels.“

“The White Horse Tavern is the USA's oldest still existing public restaurant, and its furnishings and rooms point to that historic past. Its signature dish is Beef Wellington, which my husband ordered, while I had two starters, the crispy halloumi and the burrata. All were first-rate. One of the restaurant's advantages is an extensive wine list (some 600 wines), happily including some excellent half-bottles. As we were only two people, we ordered a half-bottle of what turned out to be a fine Margaux, the Baron de Brane. The service was very good except when we were ready to order and had a bit of a wait, but the server was responsible for a lot of tables, so it was to be expected. The desserts looked incredible (and there was a caramel apple bread pudding on offer as a special), but neither of us was able to make room for them after our fine meal. The only negative for me is that we dined on the second floor, and the staircase, which I think is original, is a challenge for people with balance issues (and getting up there in years), particularly on the way down. This is something those dealing with physical challenges should consider.“

“Had a wonderful time. Spa was excellent.“

“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.“

“Beautiful views of the Narragansett Bay and Newport bridge.“

“5 stars all around! This place is delicious! Off-season, Wednesday night October, and it was packed. Despite the crowd, our server was attentive and helpful. Highly recommended daily oyster selection and the clam chowder. I enjoyed the featured halibut…. Not sure how often that makes the menu, but if you see it, try it! And save room for the snowball from hell. It’s worth it! Met the GM who graciously gave us a tour and treated us like celebrities. I wish we had more time here… I’d eat here everyday!“

“Beautiful place and good food!“

“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!“

“Fun atmosphere and great service!“

“Our meal was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced for seafood. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of seafood in our pasta and quesadilla dishes. The service was outstanding, but what truly made our experience exceptional was the care and attention given by the General Manager, Rhonda. She went above and beyond to ensure our child—who has severe allergies, including shellfish—was safe and felt included in our dining experience. Rhonda took the time to mingle with guests and has a fantastic rapport with everyone. Her presence truly elevated our visit. We didn’t have a reservation, and the restaurant was quite full, but they still managed to accommodate our party of five within a few minutes. Overall, a wonderful experience we won’t forget!“

“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!“

“Interesting spot, slightly off the beaten path in Bristol. Inside it is nice and very clean. Staff was nice and attentive. I just got takeout but plenty of seating to eat in if you want. Food was great and the portions were large. Well done.“
