“Had my birthday lunch Aug 2nd, absolutely over the top! Seafood tower was great! Whole belly clams and steamers! Great service! My wife and daughter loved it as well! Nice atmosphere as well.“

“Day trip today, first stop is Meldgie's. Meldgie's has been a staple for us over the past 20 years. We vacation in the area from Agawam, MA. Our first stop and only breakfast spot is Meldgies. The food, atmosphere and service is always spot on. Thank you for always being our go to over the years. Honorable mention to Ruby our waitress for delivering great food and service!!! See you in a few weeks when we come back for vacation.“

“The purple hair kid that looks like the Aurora Colorado Shooter was very rude to my husband both times we visited this week.“

“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 : ).“

“My husband and I went here yesterday(9/13/25) for our 17th Wedding Anniversary. The food and atmosphere were absolutely amazing and our waiter Peter was very kind and attentive. Thank you for a great Anniversary!“

“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.“

“We had lobster, stuffies, and chowder sent to Ocean Shores, WA. for the 4th! I spent my summers in Narragansett, RI, and would be at Galallie at least 3 days a week. If not swimming or fishing, we would be eating Libe Maine Twin lobsters at Champlins and watching the Block Island ferry and charter boats coming in and out. Back then, a twin lobster mail with clam cakes was at most, $8.50. Let's say these felt like they were delivered right from the boat. 100% fresh and dang tasty. Now it wasn't $8.50, but I was shocked at how reasonable it was to ship! 100% will order again.“

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

“Good food and a great staff. View is not bad either 🍀🍀🍀“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Best place to eat in Galilee. Perfect spot right on the water. Staff is super friendly. Highly recommended. — The S-Gang —“

“Had a great dinner tonight. Started off with a delicious cocktail and had an incredible stuffy and shrimp and a clam roll and of course dessert. Our waiter Jack was excellent. We will definitely be back.“

“Awesome and a must try“

“Absolutely brilliant experience. Wonderful food, fairly priced, can’t complain. Smiling faces from staff such as Abbie who was the ‘cherry on the cake’ of my visit, really made the experience that much more enjoyable. Will be back soon.??“

“Beautiful views of the Narragansett Bay and Newport bridge.“

“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.“

“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!“

“If you want to tell me you've ever had a better smash burger than what Purselane has on offer, I'll have to assume you've been to Bangers in Austin, or you're otherwise a liar.

The food here is absolutely top notch. The tuna crudo and the brussels were also wonderful, and the basque cheesecake was super yummy.

Great drinks, friendly staff and cute digs round out the experience nicely.“

“I want to gatekeep this place so badly but cannot allow myself. Ever since the Hitching Post in Charlestown closed I've been on the hunt for the "best" clamcakes in Rhode Island and I'm certain I've found it here. Worth a visit on your way to or from the beach.“

“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.“

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

“Take and Bake pizzas are fantastic. I usually get a few and leave them in the freezer for nights I dont feel like cooking. Follow the directions as they are labeled, and they always come out perfect.“

“Delicious as always and great service“

“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!“

“* 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.

“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!“

“Our family has been coming here since at least the 1950's. Due to limited parking we try to arrive on off-hours. Most times there is Still a line out the door. This time, it was the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend. We wanted to make sure we got our Chowder & Clamcakes before the season's close.
After a few circles, we finally found parking. There Was a line to the door, but it moved along quickly.
We waited about 5 minutes for our order to be ready.
As it was the end of the season, we were able to take our meal into the spacious dining room and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. Considering the dining room wasn't manned, the tables and floor were clean.
The food was steaming hot and beyond delicious!
Truly a fitting end to Summer.
Great Memories.

Parking: Tiny lot on the side of the building. It can fill up, Instantaneously, on busy Summer days. There are a few parking spots, for the handicapped, out front. Other than that...?“

“We had a great experience here for my birthday. Drinks were delicious, food was amazing, and the staff were friendly. Will be back for sure!“

“Family run business with the best views of the iconic fishing port of Galilee. When you want to share a taste and pace of local fresh caught seafood with family and friends this is the place!“

“Two for two!. Our second time there. The first time was 6 of us, this time 8. The food was GREAT and the service was excellent!! Not a single complaint out of any of us. Thank you Rob and your staff. See you all again on our next trip. 😁“

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

“Our meal was delicious. My husband and I both had the fish tacos and they were very yummy. They also were not messy to eat. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and the service was great.“

“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.“

“What an absolutely wonderful dining spot… and the food was fantastic .. loved the views from the rooftop. Staff was super attentive! Recommend HIGHLY❗️💕“
