50 Best American Restaurants near Wakefield

“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“

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

“Johnnycakes! .. just like my mom used to make! And the Cranberry Orange muffin was fantastic!“

“The coffee shop or Camden’s“

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

“We learned of Mews as both our kids went to URI. Our kids love the casual atmosphere and love the food. I’m here to give high praises to our waiter Peter. Having many dietary restrictions, he was so patient, and did everything he could to find an entree for me. I ended up with just basic salmon and brocolli - they tried, didn’t charge us for the full entree, I really truly appreciate that. Most eateries do not. My husband loved his Philly steak sandwich and great selection of beer! 1 out of 10 people can not digest alliums and dairy. Hint: Cabot Cheddar is lactose free, mayonnaise is not dairy : ).“

“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!“

“Beautiful spot to watch passing boats . Excellent meal . Swordfish was one of the best !“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Time to show some love to this Applebee's.

Their classic bacon cheeseburger, fries, and good ol' Busch beer was a home run. My wifey got the grilled chicken and Cole slaw. We tasted that crisp crunch from the slaw. 5 star also goes to my waitress. Solid work for checking in on us.

If you want to take a trip down the memory lane and eat that American meal after a long day of travel (or hard work), go to this Applebee's.“

“Excellent food, amazing, very friendly and attentive staff. We will definitely be back!“

“Whether you're at URI for the school year or a local here in South Kingstown, you need to know Big Mamma. The nicest, sweetest woman who makes sure your food is made with love. Food is always outstanding no matter what you choose. The service always comes with kind words and a big smile. As a local who has known mamma for years, as long as rhode house is open I'll be a loyal customer.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice service and good coffee“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“* revised review for Breakfast*

We recently tried the new breakfast menu, and our initial impression is that the menu is certainly ambitious, but some of the menu items We’re a *bit* on the heavy side for breakfast. Nonetheless, it’s certainly a unique experience, which seems to be what they aim for.

I highly recommend trying the breakfast items, but for some it might be a *bit* too fancy...

Attention to detail”.

The stars should speak for themselves, but here is the more in-depth explanation:

It’s absolutely clear that the owners of this establishment invest a profound amount of time and energy into training and MENTORING their staff and holding them to a superb standard of service and of course attention to detail.

The front of the house we staff, from the host or hostess, to the wait staff and the bussers: every single interaction is Matt with professional courtesy and in many cases accommodation. The presentation of the order is always done with precision and accuracy, which I appreciate very much.

The products: whether it’s a quick sandwich for lunch or at dinner spread out over a couple of hours, each plate is prepared again, with intensive care and of course, attention to detail.

I have been coming here since they have open, but I have recently become a regular and I have started coming in here for lunch. I’ve had the opportunity to talk with the bartenders and the various weight staff, and from what I can gather there is a very good relationship between the owners and those whom they employ. Is also clear to me that there is a great deal of time and attention devoted to their training in the maintaining of very high excellent standards of service and conduct and professionalism.

It is with great pleasure that I bestow my highest endorsement professional and dedicated staff here at chophouse grill. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the service and presentation I’m such a finally crafted product, as well as the mentoring that goes into it.

The only true recommendation that I have would be to consider tablecloths for the dinner to “soften” the room/atmosphere. I am usually in there for lunchtime, which is a quick and informal affair. Most of the tables seat four; table cloths would be a nice touch and make the setting that more intimate.

Commendable job folks, extremely well done.

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

“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“

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

“Fabulous 😍
Enjoyed the Lobster Roll, homemade chips, wine and key lime cheesecake! Our waitress was super attentive and efficient. Prices are fair, if you plan to have more than one glass of wine...in some cases it's more cost efficient to buy the bottle! There is a takeout window and a Tiki Bar on George's beach. Next time, we plan to stay there for the day! Great views of all the boats made for a really wonderful day.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We had a lovely dinner with my wife, sister, and brother-in -law. We ordered the delicious out of this world garlic bread tower as one of our three appetizers. The Brussels sprouts and the crab and asparagus were also very tasty. My short rib ravioli entree was served with lots of gravy - perfect for the garlic bread. The others had the pork schnitzel, the grilled chicken risotto, and the sirloin steak sandwich. Lots of smiles as our entrees disappeared. We were on the beautiful Narragansett room which has two tables. It was nice to have dinner in a quiet place. Our server, Ivana, was excellent providing prompt and friendly service. We highly recommend the General Stanton Inn.“

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