The food was awful, and the service was weak. I was charged double on my bill. The location on the beach makes up for the ambiance. Hence, the two stars. read more

I had a terrible experience here. Will not recommend or ever go again. I got the calamari $15 and clam chowder $8. The calamari was bland and average. The clam chowder might as well have been served in a Dixie cup. Not worth $8! t But the real kicker was the stag. The service was so bad, I asked for it to go. They were slow with bringing everything out and the opposite of friendly. My server was Alex and the hostess was reheaded. Both extremely rude and unprofessional. read more

Atmosphere was great, service was on point. Calamari was disappointing and clumped into one big fried ball. Salmon was dry and bland, but the mashed potatoes and scallops were good. Might go back, just would try something different. read more

We had dinner at Andrea tonight. Located right on the beach with great views. Reservations and masks are required given the current environment. My guest ordered the Coconut Shrimp ($22). It came with Coleslaw and fries. The entree was reported as "unremarkable". She did not eat the fries. I started with the Caesar Salad ($10). The salad was large and of average flavor. My entree was Fish & Chips ($18). The fish portion was good size and not greasy. That said, I am unsure what fish was used, but it had little flavor and was definitely not cod. As to the "Chips", I ate about 5. I suggest using proper chips and sack the current cheap junk. For gods sack, how hard is it to do it correctly ? Embarrassing ! I noticed another table ordered the Calamari appetizer. It was a large (entree size) serving and I observed tentacles included (yahoo). I was jealous. Overall, the service was average. So, with three glasses of wine ($8 ea) plus tax and tip we were out the door for $91.20. In retrospect, this restaurant with the great views cannot overcome the food quality coupled with average service. Next time I will spend my $92 somewhere else. Magoo read more

Nicole, Tracie and especially Ryan were amazing!!!They have such great personalities and made our experience so fabulous!! we cannot recommend this restaurant enough!! read more

It's beach season! And, while I'm usually found on my local beach because it's so convenient...I happened to be up in Groton this past weekend. Our initial plans for Sunday were to just lay out at Misqumicut and relax. We got so aggravated with the parking situation up there, that we headed straight to the Andrea instead. Am I glad we did. This place used to be two stories...it was completely destroyed during Sandy. However, it seems like it's being built back even better. There is an indoor bar, an outdoor (covered!) bar and a outdoor, uncovered seating area where live music is played. There were some dudes playing Caribbean style music all day...and that was perfect. Drinks are cheap and strong and the atmosphere is friendly. We ended up making friends with some AWESOME locals/regulars and not even heading down to the beach...which was okay, because they have a little patch of sand with beach chairs, not covered, right behind the bar. I can thank that for my sun poisoning. I also sampled the food as well....lobster and asparagus fries. Both were delish and fresh--you can't ask for much more in either of those foods! Definitely a great place to spend a gorgeous, summer day. read more

I have a hard time with this place... I ate here the food was good.. got sick later that night. May of had nothing to do with the restaurant ‍ read more

Pros: Convenient location Nice view No dress code Cons: Prices don't match with the quality/quantity Sloooooow serviceeeeeee (waiter apologized three times) Conclusion: good not great, if you didn't bring your own lunch then it makes sense to go here but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to people. If you're not spending a day at the beach right next to it then give another place a shot. Just the prices and quality/quantity weren't quite aligned in my opinion. It'd be very expensive to bring a family here as it was $28 for two of us and we didn't get any alcohol. And the service was slowwwwwww, I think bc they aren't staffed properly for busy times. read more

So we went here after a day of fishing. I had a burger it was good I wasn't blown away by it. scenery is nice it's right on the ocean, Beautiful breeze just too many bees around this time. Definitely have to make reservations because we had to wait about an hour or a little more because we did not have a reservation. The place is very big inside and out they actually serve drinks and food on the beach there's a waiter and waitress that goes down to the beach. That's pretty cool read more

Unfortunately very bad experience with hostess/alleged manager. Unaccommodating and unfriendly attitude. Would rather go to Paddy's down the road... read more

Stopped here today for lunch and really enjoyed everything! I tried mussels and lobster mac and cheese for the first time. Everything was super clean, the staff were all very kind, and the food was delicious. read more

Amazing find!!!!! Stopped due to the reviews of the lobster roll. Wasn't disappointed!!!! The most AMAZING roll I've had and I'm from NE. Great kids menue. No wait. Husband loved the spicy steak sandwich. Fun to sit and watch the water. Good drinks. Casual atmosphere. Great for a day at the beach or just a day overlooking the beach and relaxing read more

Andrea Beach Bar - View from table - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

I was pretty scared by all the one star Yelp reviews but the location was excellent and the menu has something for everyone so I gave it a try and I'm glad I did! We got a table right next to the fence along the beach, so we had an excellent view and sea breeze throughout our meal. BEWARE THE SEAGULLS, the table next to us got dive-bombed my multiple seagulls wanting fish and chips, but the tables under the shade coverings seemed to be safe. I ordered the burger on a gluten free bun and it was delicious! My friends got salads and all of us had big portions and enjoyed our meals. We had one excellent server but noticed many of the other staff talking amongst themselves rather than checking on tables who were obviously trying to flag them down. We went on a Wednesday afternoon at 4:30, so it was relaxed and enjoyable, but I can see how the slow service would be a problem at peak times. I think it's worth a try! read more

Not impressed at all. Came for a private event excited because I had heard so many good things about the view. It's in a tent. You don't see the view. So, I tried to be optimistic and hope the drinks made up for it. No. $15 for a frozen mudslide that barely had any liquor in it. $8 for a mixed drink that was mostly sour mix. I wanted to go to the bar to get my drinks (because it's easier) and was told that I had to be 'served' which turned into them making me a wrong drink and having to wait around forever to close my tab. They also had the audacity to say I didn't order what I did. All four of my tablemates were surprsied at the attitude. Alllllllllll of the drinks come in throwaway plastic which is just frustrating. The food--I heard the food was great! No. Also not true. If you like calamari, yes, the calamari was OK. The chicken marsala came out cold and bland. No salt or pepper on the tables... and heaven forbid I ask for something. Most of my tablemates had the scallops or haddock which they said was OK, but nothing to write home for. This is a beach bar. It has a gorgeous view that is literally blocked by the tent. The bar itself had a wonderful open view that wasn't blocked by the tent. If I wanted a casual night out with friends and an awesome view of the beach, I'd go to the Ocean Mist. The only advantage "Andrea" has is their easy, accessible parking, which I heard you have to pay for during peak times. read more

I absolutely had high hopes for this place and would most likely still do if I was drunk! Took over an hour to be served then another 5mins for utensils. The Mediterranean pasta $18 with lobster for an extra $15 tasted nothing but olives. Pasta was served stuck together and hard. My daughter kids pasta looked good, but zero taste. The waitress said what took so long the lobster. Give me a break! Only takes 15mins tips for a 1 1/4 lobster. My husband ordered buffalo wings and that came with zero blue cheese and that I also had to go searching for. The refunded my 1 drink and the waitress forgot about getting the second drink my husband ordered. Again, if I was drunk, I'm sure things would have tasted better. But I'm absolutely disgusted with how things where handled and would NEVER recommend this place to anyone! As I'm writing this a table of 9 people got served in under 30 mins! Zero paper towels in the men's bathroom. Not worth the money or time unless your already had to many drinks to remember what you had to eat or the time it took to serve you. Just one more thing, they had no steak or prime rib. And I was told This AFTER I ORDERED THE STEAK! Now to top it off. I was waiting for my girl who come out of the bathrooms and my husband gives her a $10 tip that I was absolutely against giving and writes on the slip, "had a terrible experience". She walks passed me not knowing I was waiting for my girls and was laughing as she was showing the other staff. OMG I have nothing else to say!!! read more

Always always excellent service and food. Bar scene. Beachy Fine for families. Ask for water and you get a nice pitcher of ice water and lemon wedges. read more

I am not sure if I have left a prior review of the Andrea or not. But since I live in the neighborhood, I do patronize the place periodically. I think I might have mentioned before that the food at the Andrea generally sucks . And based on today's visit, I will reiterate my opinion. Today, my wife and I and some family members went down to the Andrea for a drink and a late supper . We had the fried asparagus appetizer, which are actually pretty decent. But since both my wife and I were not extremely hungry, we both ordered the fish sandwich platter. Now I have never seen a piece of haddock fillet cut as thin as I saw today. I honestly believe that the Andrea kitchen staff takes a haddock fillet and puts it on a slicing machine and cuts them to approximately 1/4 inch thick. They then bread this one quarter inch thick fillet and fry it and place it between a roll with a small portion of lettuce and tomato, that was it. The Andrea is a Misquamicut icon. They can do better. read more

Good food, great location and a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Julian is an awesome bartender!

The hostess was simply amazing!! She found seating for us right away and we overlooked the ocean. Such a great place in the beach to go eat!!! The wait time was close to 5 minutes only. The fresh seafood was spectacular and the sunset on the beach was simply amazing. We look forward to returning next year on our vacation!!! read more

We loved this place. Food was very good and the location is perfect! Right on the beach. The service was very good especially since they were so busy. read more

The food is good, the staff was nice, and our waitress was attentive. But being a restaurant/bar on the beach, they have no dress code at all. One, incredibly obese man went for a swim right after his lunch, and was allowed back in the restaurant to sit on the patio to dry off and have more cocktails with no shirt or shoes, right in front of our table between us and the beautiful view. He completely ruined our meal. Another couple also close to our table were in just bathing suits, no t-shirt or beach cover up for either. This is just a bad policy, we will not be back, and we were somewhat regular customers. read more

I just love it here. You can't get anymore beach front than this . Seating is offered indoors , outdoor bar ( best place to be on a hot day. The breeze is unbelievable) outdoor covered patio or Adirondack chairs overlooking the ocean. Entertainment on Sunday afternoons just adds to this true gem of a restaurant. The staff is very helpful and friendly as well. One thing worth mentioning is they offer beach parking . With payment you get a coupon for an amount off your bill. Today parking was $10. I received $5 off my bill. From what I understand this could have been used at the gift shop as well . What a great way to start or end a beach day. The desserts looked amazing. My boyfriend and I will be frequent guests here. read more

My wife and I had a great few hours on the beach. Drove down Atlantic Ave and found Andrea's The bottom line is Andrea's is NOT accommodating to dietary and allergies. My Wife..Lobster...- comes with mashed or fries...she can't eat butter or fried. Me - broiled haddock or something and coconut shrimp app. The waitress offered a small side salad to wife to replace mashed ... for an additional $3. Seriously ??? so we questioned the waitress she said she was sorry. We walked ! for 3 bucks the restaurant lost about $60 including non-alc. beverages... We eat out a lot ! Andrea's was very busy... this was 8/11/19 about 5PM...so obviously they didn't give a crap about making another 60 bucks. (oh,,the band was loud and they kinda sucked Great view...right on the beach...but If you anyone in your party as special food needs...watch out there.

Had a very nice experience. Food was great , service was good and the view is unbeatable.

First time here with my girlfriend Kristine. Food was excellent, but Kelly our waitress was phenomenal. Great dining next to the beach.

Awesome location. Staff is excellent friendly and helpful. Even on the busiest days they get it done. Wonderful place to enjoy the view, a beverage and good food. read more

Beautiful location, beautiful beach and views. I had dined here on my birthday weekend back in September. Weather was perfect, not too hot not too cold. Parking is also free here! My bf and I sat on the back outside patio facing the view of the beach, literally right on the beach. Water was blue, waves were washing through. It was breathless, until it came to the food.. Service was very quick and attentive. We started off with an appetizer of calamari which tasted pretty decent. Drinks were pretty cheap and strong. Entree's, I ordered the house special bolognese meat pasta and my bf ordered the special chicken and bbq rib's with rice. I was hoping for delicious home made fancy bolognese pasta, boy was I expecting too much, it was literally elbow pasta with regular red meat sauce from a jar it tasted like. I was so disappointed. They gave me a lot of pasta, looked like a whole box of pasta was on my plate. The sauce was so sour and tasted nasty I barely could eat it. As for my bf's dish it was just a basic dish that could be made at home. The beach and view really won me over. Sucks the food isn't that great here. I would come back next time to just have some drinks on the beach and maybe munch on some apps. read more

This is a wonder way to start the New Year watching the annual Penguin Plunge New Year's Day hosted by the Andrea Bar. Participants can register on line or in person the day of the event for $20/person. There is a warm staging area for Plungers leading up to the 12 Noon sharp dip and for those inclined the bar is open for non participants. There is ample sitting room outside near the stone fireplace or around a number of gas heat lamps in enclosed areas. The event is attracting ever increasing numbers so arriving there early is a good idea. read more

Great restaurant in perfect location. Staff is friendly and accommodating and food is always fresh. Really fun atmosphere.

Went back this summer and what a pleasant surprise. They had a BBQ Rib special. EXCELLENT. Meat fell off the bone. Mac n Cheese with a Jalapeño cornbread topping. Again Excellent. Fish n Chips very good. Coconut Shrimp really good. read more

OK, TEN stars for the atmosphere and the view. Sunday afternoon on the deck was gorgeous. The service was good and friendly, too, but when you are eating sloppy (but good) fish tacos, they ought to give you more napkins! The Bloody Mary's here are excellent, too! As for the food.... The Calamari appetizer was good, but I thought it was over the top to also deep fry the jalapenos peppers with the squid. I like it better when the peppers are fresh, and a nice counterpoint to the fried fish. Why fry both? The fish tacos are good, although the Ahi Tuna, are a bit dry. The slaw needed a little mayo in it, or something.not a lot, because it was bone dry. In hindsight, I would have gotten the shrimp tacos, because they came with a lime-cilantro aioli..something along those lines would have helped the dry Ahi. A soy-wasabli creme perhaps? The lobster salad tacos were much better than the Ahi! Speaking of lobster...a steamed lobster was listed on the marquee and the menu as a daily special for $18, which is a great price. But when we tried to order it, they said they were out. They really need to tell you this when you are greeted and seated. Don't wait until people have their heart set on something and THEN tell them you are out! I do love this place! Just kick up the food and service a notch, and you'll be at five-stars. If the food matched the view, this would be heaven! read more

LOVE this place!! Always come down at least once a summer to eat or swim on the beach off their restaurant. Right by the water, beautiful spot day or night, and I am always filled with euphoria when I go here. Prices are very high, although that's expected due to their location. If you're ever in the area, check them out! Delicious food read more

First time visiting, we came for lunch on their last weekend open and sat on the patio. Our server was very accommodating and super nice to talk with. She went out of her way to improve our experience however possible. We will definitely be back. The food and drinks were great and you can't beat the view. read more

Great service and great view of the beach. Clam fritters were to die for! We only did drinks and apps but I'd go back for dinner.

I was racially profiled last night eating dinner with some friends by the customer sitting with his family next to us. He called me "Maria" because I'm Hispanic. The waiter took extremely long to bring us our drinks. And paid way more attention to other tables around us. I let him know at the end what happened with the table next to us and he simply said "I'm sorry. Let me know next time." I had a terrible experience here at The Andrea. Spent 130$ for a terrible hour and a half. Food was okay. read more

Made reservations on line and was told they don't do same day reservations. Fortunately it was off season and we got a table. Just seemed strange. Food was good, price seemed about what you would expect to pay oceanfront. Drink prices were reasonable, Dewers on the rocks was 8.50. Most places on the RI shore are a bit more than that. Service was good and the place is very clean. read more
