Comfort Food Restaurants near Richmond, RI

“Wonderful food, casual atmosphere and excellent service.“

“★★★★☆

Alaina’s Ale House in Richmond, RI, delivers a reliably pleasant pub experience, with especially memorable service and a welcome escape from the summer heat.

The menu covers the usual pub classics—burgers, wings, sandwiches, and a handful of seasonal specials—and everything we tried hit the mark. While the food was more than adequate (no culinary fireworks, but perfectly serviceable and well-prepared. The Scotch Egg was a standout, the best I’ve ever had), it’s not what you’ll remember most.

Service here is truly exceptional. Our waitress went above and beyond, even gifting my sister a commemorative mug simply because her name is Alaina. It was a small gesture, but one that speaks volumes about the team’s attention to detail and genuine warmth.

And on an unbearably hot day, the ale house’s A/C was a lifesaver—crisp, cool air made for a comfortable meal from start to finish. All told, Alaina’s Ale House strikes a great balance of solid pub fare, standout hospitality, and a pleasant atmosphere—definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.“

“I highly recommend Joyce’s Everyday Gourmet. Her food is beyond delicious. I just need to be dropped off at her door with a fork and I’ll call when I’ve worked my way through every single thing. I’ve had a lot of Joyce’s food and have never been disappointed. She’s the ultimate best!“
