22 Best American Restaurants in Westerly

“Coast's quietly elegant ambience, top-level attentive service, and panoramic ocean views make it a great special-occasion destination. And, unlike many restaurants that let great views excuse mediocre food, Coast's prix fixe menu gets top marks start to finish, including gluten-free adaptations where needed for one of us. Everything was beautifully prepared, with intriguing and delicious flavors and garnishes. The portions for each of the five courses were sized just right, so that we did not end up uncomfortably filled, just happily thrilled! I also highly recommend a wine pairing add-on that's available. Even though we "settled" for the less expensive of the pairing menus, every wine was perfectly matched to the food, and knowledgeably described by our server. All told, a memorable dining experience!“

“It is a great place to dine and enjoy yourselves!🤗🌼🌼🤗“

“Just a sumptuous dinner at one of the most stately of resorts. Everything about the visit was 5 stars plus! The staff is top notch and exceptionally friendly. Our server was Ricardo and he was excellent. The most serene water view from our table added to the ambience. The summer campanelle and the Italian sausage rigatoni were perfect. The chocolate torte and the panna cotta were perfect. The drinks such as the Weekapaug sunrise were perfect. Definitely a place to come back to again and again.“

“Outstanding! I was back for dinner last weekend with my wife. We had the firecracker starter, honey lavender salmon, and of course the burger, which were all cooked to perfection. The chef delivers every time and Tara makes an amazing martini. They have become our year-round go-to in all of Westerly. In the fall/winter months, we love settling into a cocktail by their stone fireplace, which is the centerpiece of the Inn. In the summer months, having dinner while enjoying their Friday evening live music is the best way to start the weekend. From the moment you walk in, Michael and Rob make you feel like you’re at home. Their ambience, food, cocktails, and service are unmatched. They’ve done a really nice job here.“

“One of our breakfast favorites in fact I had a big surprise birthday party there a year ago and it was outstanding quality of the food was 1st class, the service was outstanding they could not do enough to please and made sure it went well. Been a regular there ever since consistent outstanding quality with super service.“

“Had a good experience here. Ordered parm truffle fries with a bacon cheeseburger and also wanted to get a chicken sandwich for later so decided on the buffalo chicken sandwich

Fries were amazing. Lots of flavor on every fry. The bacon cheese burger was good but I wasn't blown away. Expected it to be a little bigger honestly. Had the chicken sandwich later and I will say it was probably one of the best buffalo chicken sandwiches I've had. Will definitely return ♥️“

“📅 01.04.25 ✍🏾 BIG AL’S WRITTEN REVIEW EP. CANCELLED Ella’s Food & Drink 👎🏾 📍 Westerly, Rhode Island I pulled up to Ella’s to do what I’ve done over 197 times before. I filmed a quick intro outside, walked in, got a quick vid of the interior and before I got to sit down for a food review it went downhill fast. Almost immediately, the energy felt off. As I started my usual walkthrough (phone in hand), the interaction with the owner turned uncomfortable. Instead of being welcoming or neutral, the tone came off as condescending, rude and dismissive. There was no effort to de-escalate the situation, and I quickly felt unwelcome in the space. At that point, I made the right decision to leave. I didn’t raise my voice. I didn’t make a scene. I simply chose not to stay where I didn’t feel respected or welcomed. I’m always courteous, polite, and respectful when I walk into any establishment, and my money is just as good as anyone else’s. I would have easily dropped $250 on that visit including a generous tip for my server. When the vibe is off, I listen to that instinct. Based on this experience, I do not recommend this spot. ☝🏾❤️ - Big Al Mayo “Always keeping it Real to Reel”“

“My husband and I and our dear friends had dinner at the Haversham last weekend. A wonderful experience. As a young girl , I grew up on the Hillandale Farm which is very close to the Tavern. It was wonderful to see all of the references to Westerly on the menu. Sunrise salad, The Gavitt burger ( my maiden name was Gavitt) Westerly water, The Bradford,( where I live now), Dusty's Sundae ( an old ice cream shop in Dunn's Corners, long ago ) .The staff and dinner were great. I highly reccomend this resturant, especially if you are visiting from another town or State. Just a small piece of our wonderful state of RI.“

“Loved watch Adam Ezra Group playing there, comfortable setup and great sound.“

“The very best Fish & Chips locally…. And it’s not even close!! Bravo 👏🏼 Also.. such a great spot… on the patio or inside. A locals favorite 🦄“

“Wanted to give you a well deserved compliment! Ordered a couple pizzas tonight and they were absolutely delicious. Thanks for delivering hot pizza on a cold night!“

“The absolute best Thai-fusion food in the region. Their drunken rice/noodle and basil plates have no competition, not to mention the dumplings and squid appetizer. Worth every penny and occasional long wait, imo.“

“Standard sports bar with pub fare, decent craft beer selection and my mom's favorite wine. It's been up and down here with food and service speed but on my last visit (5/4/23), the food came quickly and looked really solid. I didn't eat but had a few craft beers. Bartender isn't the most knowledgeable on the craft offerings but the selection is good! Came for trivia on a Thursday evening.“

“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!“

“Great place to listen to a band, play some corn hole, have a few drinks and have the best lobster roll in RI!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary with Jazz Brunch and The Ocean House Bistro Restaurant. Everything was absolutely outstanding and worth every penny. The buffet style raw bar alone is worth the trip not to mention the starter and main brunch courses, bottomless mimosas, and custom coffee upon request. The desserts are all made from professional pastry chefs and are fresh and delicious. They provide you with to go boxes that you can fill with all your favorite pastries! They even made our anniversary special by surprising us with complimentary cookies and cream cupcakes with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate across the plate. Seriously, the Jazz Brunch is the best. 10/10 💯 highly recommend, will be back every year to continue this anniversary tradition. Thank you Ocean House!“

“One of the best burgers I've had in the area. Service was terrific.“
