In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

Cute spot! Stopped in with a friend after work on a Thursday. We got in quickly without a…read morereservation but I can see what people are saying that if you are going on a weekend during peak hours that you should make a reservation as it isn't a huge restaurant! Our waitress was very nice and patient with us while we took awhile to order. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and my friend got the ceasar wrap. The fries were great, sandwiches were also really good! Would like to come back and get one of their main dishes as they all sounded pretty good. We got the bread pudding for dessert (sorry forgot the photo) but that was really good!! Would get again.

Our server Tyler was great as were the food runners and the house manager who checked on us during our meal. Despite being at full capacity the ticket times were on point and the food and beverage quality was perfect.

Updated review. This place is still pumping and jumping!…read more Isaiah S. was such a delight to be served by. Very knowledgeable, told me about the Newport restaurants points app, fun ways to eat the dishes and gave the best description and inside scoop on all foods. Everything was seasoned well, and hot. Our only take away was if the porkchops had something with a different texture added to it. The bread pudding w the ice cream was fantastic as well, sweet gooey goodness. This is an accessible restaurant, with a ramp, automatic doors and handicap parking. It's a shared parking lot still, but there are signs indicating where you can or can't park. Low low music. Lighting is dim, space to walk between tables, clean bathrooms.

II ordered some gravy on the side to cool down the spice and it too was overwhelmingly spicy. Potatoes were pretty good so all was not lost. The salad was warm and they don't carry any type of oil and vinegar dressing. It was 90 degrees out that day. Who wants a warm salad with heavy creamy dressing! I had breakfast there previously and that too was unremarkable. Never again.

Hint: ask for one of the chicken wing sauces (habanero) and dip the fries in that... perfect. I haven't eaten one thing I haven't enjoyed and the staff is always hella nice.

Sitting outside with a beautiful view of the lake made the experience even more enjoyable. I'm not typically a beer drinker, but I loved that they offered a variety of options, including ciders and cocktails. Unlike many breweries in Rhode Island, this spot also has a kitchen menu, which was a huge plus. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we received our drinks quickly. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely return again when the weather is nicer to enjoy the outdoor seating.

There's bar seating, tables, outdoor space, and even fire pits, and the overall atmosphere is spot on. We didn't love our particular table - we were seated right where people line up to order beer, so it felt like they were basically standing at our table. If I went back, I'd probably ask to sit somewhere else or just grab a seat at the bar. The beer was decent, with about 8-10 varieties on tap. You can tell this is a local favorite. What a great place to meet up and connect with friends! Definitely worth checking out.

I visited this location in the past and was not impressed. Today was a different experience, came in during the buy one get one offer. The pricing has gone up so much. The prices have increased and the size of the items have decreased. The shake for example. Between the cup being filled and the extra. Seemed like it was anywhere between 12-16 oz's. The size of the burger also looks a little slimmer. Had a bacon cheeseburger as pictured, bacon was not good quality. The food was delicious with the offer. Not sure about dropping $40 on burgers without a beer offer. The fries were nice and crispy, but again the order seemed a little smaller than before. It's a hit or miss. If you're in the area give it a try. But I would not go out of my way. The service was definitely an attentive improvement and friendly. I would say visit with the kids during family night.

Staff were really pleasant, my order took longer than expected for fast food but it wasn't too bad…read more The guy before me in line was finished and walking out before I got my burger. The burger itself was solidly good, nothing too special. I wouldn't search this place out again but I would go if friends said they wanted to go. I sat at the front window area and annoyingly any time the exit door shut it shook the entire section where I was seated.

Today is the second leg of the Rhode Island Food Fights WienerFest. Started at Axelrod's Fry Shack…read morein Warwick. The hot weiner was OK, although it pretty much goes against every thing that people complain about when they evaluate them... The onions aren't chopped right. The sauce was okay. The buns weren't the right kind. And these are more a hot dog than a weiner. But overall they were decent. If you're looking for a quick lunch they would be fine, especially with those fries. The fries were actually great, very tasty with a nice salt blend. So good in fact, that I suspect the burgers and chicken are probably pretty tasty and worth stopping by for. The service was really good as well. Very nice people work there. They probably don't sell a lot of wieners because they're one store away from Sam's, but they are not a total waste of time either. Mostly an order ahead or drive-thru place. It's kind of awkward if you walk up.

I remember 5 - 10 years ago there weren't that many, so when you saw one you didn't mind that there was a 20 minute line to order. Now, they seem to be all over the place and the old school quality control just isn't there. At one time, I'd have put Shake Shack ahead of In n Out burger in terms of the actual taste. Perfectly caramelized, browned smash patties seasoned nicely giving them a crunchy but juicy salty pop. Now ... Maybe 1 out of every 4 burgers I get here is good. The rest are a greasy mess. All you can taste is the drippy grease which saturates the bottom bun and oozes from the patties. After 3 bites, your stomach starts to do somersaults and you feel full and gross. No more can you taste the seasoning or salty special burger sauce ... it's just nasty grease. Fries are consistently average here. It's hard to fuck up bagged crinkle fries ... but the fries are as much as most burgers elsewhere and pretty unremarkable. (In fairness, In n Out has this issue as well, despite being fresher.) The Shakes here are pretty rough compared to Chic Filet next door. It's a sugary milk shake which also makes your stomach do cartwheels. If the line wasn't so long at Chic Filet, I'd go there for their amazing milk shakes. For $7-$8 fucking bucks at Shake Shack, a milk shake is way overpriced and not great. Overall, it's no mystery why, even during peak times, this place has no line at all while Chic Filet's line stretches around the store. I can honestly say this is the worst Shake Shack I've been to from a quality control aspect. It's just never consistent and they have about a 25% track record at making a good burger. All other times, it's a greasy mess with no taste.
