46 Best American Restaurants near South Kingstown

“Just wanted to take a moment to compliment the service we received from Amanda! It was pretty busy, the restaurant was at capacity, and she was fantastic! I appreciate a server who does a great job, and she handled our table with a perfect display of relaxed competence. Well done!“

“This evening I had a less than stellar interaction with a DoorDash “customer service” representative as my third party delivery from Applebees in the commons and DoorDash would not assist INSISTING they’d “just spoken to the dasher and they just picked it up so there’s nothing else we can do for you”. I confirmed with the location that it was in fact NOT picked up and coordinated with them directly to get our order situation sorted out. Sabrina at the bar, Brian the manager, and Sarah M who I spoke to multiple times and who brought me my order were all super helpful and kind and I very much so appreciate their help and PROFESSIONALISM! Oh, also the dasher showed up at 7:10 to “pick up my order” that had been cancelled already (which was an hour and 10 minutes after is was supposed to be DELIVERED to me) while I was in the restaurant and the staff intervened and didn’t allow them to scam me out of my order :)“

“Great waitstaff excellent food, one of the best restaurants in the area I’ve never been disappointed there“

“We loved Tower Hill Brewing, we hosted our welcome party for our wedding. It was amazing! We knew the location was perfect due to proximity to our room block and were in touch with the owners prior to the opening of the space. Christy, the GM, was so accommodating, responsive and helpful. Our guests loved the beer selection and the vibe. Our little family members had the best time playing games. Highly recommend for future events!“

“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.“

“Waitstaff was very friendly and prompt. Our meals (grilled salmon, chard salad, cognac medallions and tasty bread with delicious maple butter) were excellent. Atmosphere was nice.

Dietary restrictions: The chef readily honored my low sodium request … the salmon, simply grilled, was cooked to perfection - tender, moist and sweet.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“We never miss a farm dinner. Highest end cooking coupled with the best locally sourced ingredients that you'll find in Southern RI. After 2+ years of great meals, had them cater our wedding reception. By far the best experience we could have imagined.“

“Food was delicious price was not bad . But they should not charge for condiments“

“My wife and I had a fantastic experience for lunch. We sat outside overlooking the pond. My wife had the Cajun tacos and I had the fish n' chips. Both plates were absolutely delicious and we ate every bite. The server was excellent, very timely, and friendly. Everything was clean. The unsweetened tea was wonderful. I will definitely be returning.“

“Food was great, I had the short rib bolognese, it could feed more than 1!! Service was great, and met a few nice people who recommended that ice cream cookie!! Great experience!“

“Excellent food with huge portions and great service! Highly recommended if you're ever in the area. 🥰“

“Wonderful food, both New England classics, such as a superb lobster bisque last night, when we also enjoyed a very tasty shrimp aljito. Not to be missed. The best food in Narrangsnsett based on over a week’s research. Most welcoming and helpful staff too.“

“Great Views. Great Peeps. Great Eats. Bartender Karley did an outstanding job well done. Great job. The Salmon Dijon with the Risotto is F@cking Delicious. Facts!!! Shane“

“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.“

“This is my first time trying this place since I moved to Rhode Island. I got the buffalo chicken hoagie and it was so good. The roll was so good and the chicken was well done. They don’t do cheese fries but made me one which I appreciate. 9/10 will try again“

“A wonderful place for breakfast or lunch. We tried it this morning, amazing homemade hash! Five stars“

“Awesome Chicken Parm! Huge portions!! Most definitely will be back!“

“Awesome! Everything from the Awful Awfuls to the burgers were delicious!“

“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“

“Friendly, comfortable atmosphere with homemade breads, omelets, benedicts, and amazing specials.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Was in town for a week or so and spent a few evening in this place. Coming from Texas, I never know what to expect of the NE, but everyone there was very hospitable and was more than enjoyable. The food is amazing and the drinks are stout! Cheers!“

“The food is great and the staff is always friendly!!“

“Change is inevitable, I suppose. I was never a big fan, and now that I'm older I like it even less. SIGH. Sometimes change is good. Unfortunately, I'm a looooooong way from good after revisiting OHT. My apologies for this Swiss cheese of a review, but I hadda pull out the butcher's blade and start chopping!
...replaced with sturdy (and comfortable) wooden Adirondack chairs scattered around the patio accompanied by propane heaters. There are also several high-tops between the outdoor bar and the main building and a small stage near the firepit.
Astute individuals will have (hopefully) noticed there's been some changes made at OHT, and not necessarily for the better. [I've dumped the bits regarding the food 'cause one disappointment shouldn't color your perspective on a place you loved.... but] But I strongly believe that it's the small things that make or break somewhere that falls into the 'I Love This Place' category. And it's the small things that soured OHT for me. First, no more Anchor Porter. Sucks to be me, sigh. Second, the main menu has been trimmed, IMHO severely. Seems to be mostly chicken and barbecue items and burgers. (another sux4me 'cause I Loved the portobello dish and...) Third, and probably the last camel that broke its back due to a straw for me. The portions were smaller AND taste, texture, and technique were on holiday. Look, I am fully cognizant of the difficulties involved in acquiring certain ingredients, however, the food I got belonged under a heat-lamp in some gas, sorry, some 'service' station on the border of Nowheresville, USA. CONSISTENCY is important. If a thing is almost unrecognizable from the exact thing ordered the day before, in every sense applicable, it's highly unlikely I'd order it again.

... good atmosphere, family-friendly, outdoor firepit, supersized Jenga game o/s, as well as cornhole, a putting green, an outdoor bar (open seasonally), free peanuts & popcorn (nix the popcorn, nee Covid), and last but not least, Fairly low prices. Sadly, in the universe we currently find ourselves in, low prices mean that the item served no longer adheres to what your palate remembers. Or your brain remembers, for that matter. What I ordered and what was served was light-years from what I'd been ordering for at least a decade prior to today.“

“We found the Coach Inn & Saloon while driving along the R.I. shoreline. The menu looked both reasonable and inviting. We were greeted upon entering and promptly seated. In addition to their standard bill of fare, they have daily specials. On this day, it was Monday Mania where they offered some excellent two-for-one choices, including salad, an entree, and a bottle of wine for $45. The food was good and our server, Lauren was simply awesome! She was pleasant, attentive, and presented as genuinely interested in ensuring our dining experience was the best it could be. The Coach Inn has a wonderful atmosphere, good food, and great service! If we are ever in the area again, we will surely stop in again.“

“Came in for lunch and it was a great experience. Our server was personable and attentive. We sat in the bar area but it didn't feel tight like some restaurants do. Had a small issue with part of our order not getting placed but it was rectified immediately. I would definitely recommend and want to visit for an after dinner drink at one of their outdoor bars!“

“This food truck brings a unique flair to our events. Their dishes are not only flavorful but also visually appealing, adding to the overall experience of our guests.“

“After a long time away from Phil’s Restaurant, the owner immediately recognized my elderly brother and graciously came over to greet us. It felt so nice that he took time to interact with us and remembered back when my brother was a regular customer. The owner truly made us feel special. As always, the food was delicious. Next time we visit from Texas, we will definitely be coming back here to dine. Thanks for your kindness and hospitality. -Danny’s Brother Frank“

“The team at Back 40 is unmatched! My husband has a beef and pork allergy and they handle it with care and pure professionalism. Great service to match!“

“Had an awesome meal the other night. Started with the smoked wings, and let me tell you, the Chipotle honey BBQ sauce was incredible. Perfect balance of sweet and spicy—seriously, I could’ve eaten a whole tray of them.

I also tried the beef brisket tacos. They were solid, juicy, and full of flavor, but those wings really stole the show for me. The place also has a great selection of local beers, which paired perfectly with the food.

On top of that, the staff were super friendly and made the experience even better. Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for some good food and laid-back vibes.“

“This was our first time having "Rhode Island style" clam chowder. You probably know that New England style is cream based, while Manhattan style is tomato based. Turns out, Rhode Island is "clear." So just stock/broth. My husband and I both really enjoyed this version. Probably more so than the cream or tomato based! The only reason this got 4 Stars is because of the clam cakes. I imagined they would be like a crab cake but with clam instead of crab meat. But that's not the case at all. They were like a salty biscuit rolled in a ball and deep fried. I didn't mind it so much, though they are quite heavy in the gut. But my husband thought there should've been way more clam.“
