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.“

“Last 2 orders were awful. Fried Rice and shrimp chow mein has no flavor, way too dark . They added way too much dark soy sauce with no flavor at all. And pork egg foo young...tasteless. so unappetizing. Never will I order from Drahon Palace again.“

“Servers were lovely, the food was great, my toddler loved his meatball and pasta. Most importantly this was one of the few extremely accommodating gluten free locations right off I-95 for my wife's Celiac. Can't recommend enough and will likely be back next year!“

“Last minute pizza party & Vittorias did not disappoint! Highly recommend the Grandma pizza but go with half Grandma Gorgonzola because it’s incredible. Sicilian cheese & a chicken ranch we’re also amazing! Mike was a huge help in executing how much pizza was enough pizza, I’m happily enjoying a few left over pieces!“

“Friendly, great food, fair prices!“

“My wife and I discovered the Hungry Haven a few weeks ago. We’ve been back four times and haven’t been disappointed yet. The food is great service is great good portions quaint atmosphere, if your hungry and in the area, Hungry Haven is the place.“

“Highly recommend eating here. Pizza is outstanding! The Italian stallion is next level. Great people. Variety of desserts to choose from. Cozy atmosphere. Fresh ingredients. Simply Delicious!“

“Our new favorite lunch spot! Delicious Thai food...so many lovely things to eat!“

“We had one of the best servers last night. Cameron was excellent! Very personable and fun. Of course the food was delicious!!“

“Menu is full of good food for everyone to please. The Shamrock pizza and mango habanero wings were delicious. Waitress was great. Next time I will be around the neighborhood I will make sure to try their big menu loaded with good tasting food. Atmosphere was as a country-pub-restaurant with plenty of rooms for dinning.“

“We've never been to the Rathskellar (and we are RI'er's) until this summer. We love it!! Everything about it. The service, the food is amazing!! The drinks! The bands out back. The place itself is awesome! We have tickets to so many bands until October. So excited!“

“THE pizza place to check out in the State of RI. Some say a hidden gem and I would have to agree. The quality of the pizza is consistently good on top of exceptional customer service. I’ve known the owner for years but can say this is coming from an unbiased perspective. A few friends visit because they say the recipe has been untouched since their childhood. A great place that honors the past by providing wonderful pizza.

“Went yesterday for a late lunch with a friend. The lobster rolls, chowder and lobster Rangoon were out of this world! Love this place!!!!!“

“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!“

“This place makes killer hand tossed pies!!“

“Today, 3 of us had lunch at your restaurant. Our server Valerie was great and the food was delicious. We’ve just experienced a devastating fire at our apartment complex a little over a week ago and some of us lost everything. We’ve been staying in a nearby hotel as massive repairs are in the works. When Valerie came with our check, she asked if we wanted to buy a raffle ticket to which we explained our situation. As we were getting ready to pay our bill, Valerie came over and said our lunch was on them. We couldn’t believe it. Thank you Valerie and management of the 99 Restaurant in Westerly for your kindness to us!“

“Had a great dinner to a celebrate someone’s birthday and someone else’s new job. The food was excellent and I can’t wait to come back. The Eastern Calamari was a highlight; the sauce it was served in had a umami-sweet flavor that was well-suited to the crispy calamari. For entrees, the chicken and waffle and the short rib were the stars. The chicken parmesan sandwich, spicy chicken and pork belly ramen, and Rhody fish and chips were all also very good. There was a ton of fish and chips coming out of the kitchen and headed toward other tables, so that seems to be a popular choice. For dessert, we tried the molten lava cake, farm cobbler, and gelato. There was variation in which dessert was the favorite, but everyone was impressed with the gelato. Even though gelato may not be most folks’ top choice for dessert when there are cakes and other options on the menu, it had a really unique (more solid) texture and the taste was really excellent. I highly recommend this spot!“

“The California grinder was one of the best I’ve ever had. We also ordered onion rings, a pasta dish, and wings which were all equally delicious. Would highly recommend visiting this place! Our waitress was also very sweet, welcoming, and accommodating.“

“Lucky House is our go-to restaurant for us! We are always greeted with a smile and feel like family. Food is excellent and so is the service. Whenever we decide to eat out, Lucky House is always the first choice!“

“Cory 69 reviews·6 photos My wife and I visited this place for breakfast today and wow what a disappointment this place was ! Let's start from the beginning ,started off ok the waitress who seated us was nice took our coffe order, then it started to bad , our waiters came over with an attitude right away , came to our table and said with an attitude "you ready to order yet " no hi no name nothing but that. So I ordered the short stack chocolate pancakes and a order of hash my wife ordered the breakfast burrito,she said ok and walked away . Another waitress delivered our food and she was nice . The hash was homemade with awful water down potatoes and over cooked cornbeef drenched in grease and had no seasoning. Wish I took a picture but grabbed the waitress who dropped off the food and said We can't eat this and before I could say why ,she said "to greasy ?" And I replied to greasy . Then I took a bite into the worst and dry pancakes I have ever had . My wife burrito was ok but the homefries were awful again watered down and no seasoning. When the rude waitress came to ask us if everything was OK we told here what was wrong and she replied "I have never had these many complaints I guess people like different things " and then walked away and never came back till she dropped off the bill which she did take off the hash and pancakes because we didn't eat them . No one came to refill our coffee.. its also important to mention the rude waitress went up to another waitress and said to her I'm doing this to prove a point today because what she did was wrong . we will never be back and caution people not to waste there time ! Worst breakfast place I have ever went to in my 47yrs ! Want great breakfast in that area go to Hungry heaven!“

“From the minute you walk in you are greeted with smiles and made to feel like an old friend. The food is fantastic with healthy portions, made fresh and with lots of thought and care. As I understand it, Bravo is under new management by Ryan and Ryan and they are very involved, attentive and eager to please. Connected to Theater by the Sea, we went to dinner before all four shows this season and it was wonderful each time! The only negative thing I can say is that they are only open when the Theater is open… but I hear they are working on that!!!! A great find!“

“Went there for my grandsons birthday.where do I begin! The waitress was very attentive and sharp and didn't mess up not even one order even though we were fifteen people. The alcohol drinks were very generous. The appetizers which were mostly seafood was perfectly cooked and prepared. Our meals came out hot and well prepared and cooked amazing job not one screwups even though it would have been understandable because of our number. The owner and his lovely wife came to the table several times to see if everything was ok and if they could do anything to make us comfortable. They even treated us wit a few appetizers. Very pleasant and hospitable.the prices were very reasonable and the seafood was very fresh.i would recommend this place to anyone. God bless and help this young family with this business“
