“The coffee shop or Camden’s“

“Can’t say enough nice things about the place. Great food, great atmosphere, and great memories. But seriously, let’s talk about the service. The entire bar staff is amazing, but Monica…. Monica is an icon, an absolute sweetheart, and honestly the reason I keep coming back. A sweet baby angel if I’ve ever seen one!
Can’t wait to come back!“

“One of the best brisket sandwiches I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try more of your food. A+“

“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!“

“Food is fresh and awesomely prepared. The manager Steve is the BEST! He even made a special trip to deliver their luscious lobster eggs benedict to a senior who doesn't drive and just had to have that dish one morning!“

“We contracted Angles Kitchen to cater the reception following my father's memorial service. I got so many compliments on the food, and I know that several guests sought out John to complement him personally. The service was both professional and warm. We plan on using them again for two events this Summer. Full caveat; they'er a little laid-back, and their were a few times when I got nervous, but in the end...TOTAL professionals (did I mention that the food was prepared on-site?) I give Angels Kitchen my highest recommendation.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Incredible flavor! Each dish has a layered, dimensional flavor profile that keeps you tasting something new with every bite. They transform food I traditionally don’t prefer into the most delicious dish! The Brussels sprouts with fig jam I would fight someone over.“

“Nothing but the best from the OG herself. Hands down best customer service out there. Custom order no problem. You name it they’ll hook you up. I got a steak and cheese grinder and added ham, banana peppers, bacon, and black olives and let me tell you something. That right there that tickled my taste buds. 10/10 would go back there every night if I could“

“We love Tower Hill Brewing Co. so very much! We hosted our wedding welcome party at Tower Hill Brewery and it could not have been more perfect! From start to finish, the staff was incredibly helpful, attentive, and genuinely kind — they made planning easy and the night seamless. Christy was absolutely incredible--she went above and beyond for us to make it the most amazing party! The drinks were fantastic (so many guests are still talking about the beer and seltzers!), and the atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for: fun and full of good energy. Everyone had such a great time, and it truly set the tone for the entire wedding weekend. We’re so grateful to Tower Hill for helping us kick things off in the best way possible. Highly recommend for any event or just a great night out!“

“First dining experience here and it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Absolutely delicious food, huge portions, and super friendly waitstaff. Can’t wait to come back!“

“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.“

“Always responsive, friendly, always going out of their way for special orders.“

“Best lobster bisque in all of RI! Love the fried clams dinner, chowder and a real good Bloody Mary ☺️. Jimmy's is a must try, you'll never go to any other seafood restaurant in Narragansett/Galilee.“

“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.“

“Awesome food we’re just there this evening party of eight had an outstanding meal great time. It was a great time. The service was impeccable . Haley was outstanding as always. great food great night thank you“

“Bon Vue was one of our “go to” bars for a couple beers and food, but disappointed recently at being charged $9 for a whalers rise draft on a Thursday afternoon, off season. For a dive bar, that’s excessive.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fantastic little pub serving delicious Irish and American food, smoking their own meat outdoors! Everyone at our table, loved their meals. Generous serving sizes, great prices. Home town neighborhood bar with fantastic service. We will definitely go again.“

“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!!“

“Your waitress Juliann is the best!! She has empathy, kindness, generosity and she will go out of her way and keep it real like she loves and cherishes serving folks. She is a sweetheart!!!! Please keep folks like her serving people because she made me feel welcomed and like I was special. She listens and the girl definitely has a gift with dealing with people. We need more waitresses like Julianne with her beautiful self!!!!“

“What a fantastic dining experience my family had tonight. Cocktails were superb, my rare tuna tacos were not only the best tacos I’ve ever eaten, it was one of the top 3 meals I’ve ever had. My wife had the rib eye melt which was equally as delicious, and my daughter loved her Mac & cheese and green beans. I started with white chowder which is typically good no matter where you get it in New England, but there’s was excellent. As good as the food was, it was the service from Alexa that made it so memorable. She was friendly and accommodating like any server would or should be, but she went beyond that making us feel like friends and family. Extra kudos to her for being a superstar. All in all, this was a 10+ dining experience even though the best is 5. Back 40 and their sister restaurants are all the best that RI has to offer.“

“Very disappointed. My husband says try again on a weekend day. Went Monday 4pm. Food was terrible. Fish was completely dried out. Shrimp cocktail was slimy and sour. Good service. Lovely view. However won't be back“

“Loved our meal- but the calamari is special. The salad with the pear/ prosciutto and grape vinagrette was amazing. The cocktail i ordered was delish ( cranberry vodka)- wish it was 2x size for the price ( $15) we also had full dinners- would go back just for the calamari!!“

“Great food good people I haven’t had a meal that I’ve been disappointed with“

“If you are looking for good bbq you should not overlook this place.

Prices are very reasonable the food is above average and even though it is hard to tell from the outside it has great atmosphere. Live music and nice outside area. With a huge fire pit.

Eaten here numerous times and never had a bad meal.

Free peanuts and popcorn while you wait!“

“Amazing views of Jamestown harbor on a perfect day in June. GIANT sandwiches. Delicious!“

“Great place/ dive bar, live music, great food“

“Super nice staff, yummy food, on a deck by the sea. What more can you ask for? Well, for me, I could ask for a vegetarian entre. I chose this restaurant based on an old menu that showed eggplant parmesan. But that was last year’s menu. This year there are none. BUT the cook whipped up pasta primavera for me on request. We had fried pickles, coconut shrimp, beet and arugula salad, the pasta primavera, and a couple of cocktails. All were nicely prepared and delicious. I’ll add photos of the updated menu.“

“Nice place to have a drink and and snack. The outside seating is great, and Emily is a very pleasant server.“

“The food and cocktails were on point. We had the roasted Brussels sprouts and bacon wrapped scallops for appetizers. The scallops were smaller and lacked a good sear and the bacon lacked a good crisp, but the flavor of the scallops was fresh and sweet. The Brussels sprouts were a good size portion, tender, crisp and flavorful. Three of us had the Chicken Cordon Bleu and found it to be juicy, flavorful and a perfectly done preparation of this dish. I had the beef Wellington and would highly recommend. However, what really set this dinner apart was the absolutely impeccable service. The waitstaff was always right there to refill water glasses, provide fresh plates and cutlery as needed, take orders, etc but never hovered. At the conclusion of the meal, they were quick to bring our bill, quick to pick up payment and provide receipt, yet we never felt rushed to leave. They even refilled our water glasses after we had paid, making us fell welcome to linger and chat. It is rare to experience this level of hospitality outside of Europe and for this reason we will be back and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to actually dine with friends.“

“Great breakfast only complaint is the home fries tasted like fried clams time to change the oil“

“We love eating outside downstairs. The food is super delicious and good choices too. We always have great service and food. Entertainment is great. We had a lovely waitress Jena last night. She was very attentive social and a great person. Love the new renovation. Will be back soon!“
