I would actually give it a 3.5. This is a solid neighborhood spot, but our experience was a little mixed. We came for dinner, and the restaurant was full but not overly crowded, which was a good sign. We were greeted promptly, seated right away, and our server was attentive, friendly, and did a great job walking us through the menu. The mozzarella sticks were excellent -- very large and really good. Unfortunately, the main reason we came was for the lobster rolls, and we weren't told they were sold out until after we tried to order them, which was disappointing. We ended up getting wraps/sandwiches instead -- the Sicilian and the Caprese. They were fine, but pretty standard. Nothing bad, just not particularly memorable. We did notice a lot of other tables ordering calamari and pizza after we ordered, which looked really good, so I think we may have just ordered items that aren't what they're best known for. Overall, this feels like a place where: * The food is good * The service is solid * The vibe is comfortable and local If we came back, we'd probably try the pizza, calamari, or pasta instead. Slightly disappointed because of the lobster roll situation, but still a decent experience overall. read more

I would make this visit a 3.5 based only on the sandwich I had. 4 stars for the rest. This is a great go to place when you can't decide what you want to eat. They have dinners, sandwiches, salads, pizza and calzones. They also have specials. This night, I had the lobster roll, with Cole slaw and french fries. The hot dog roll was perfectly toasted. The sandwich was full. It tastes good, minimal celery, but a bit too much mayo for my liking. When I first got the sandwich, when I didn't see any chunks of lobster, I thought I got something else - it looked like a seafood salad or crabmeat salad. I was skeptical, but it was tasty and definitely lobster. I did eat the whole thing. I was, however, missing the chunks. Cole slaw was really good, and the fries were fresh, hot and crisp. My sandwich looked nothing at all like the picture showed on FB. Other than that, I would now question what does the lobster salad look like before ordering this again. read more

Excellent food the best fried calamari and stuffies are excellent and the service is great too

We needed a place that could host 9 people at one table before our show at the Gamm Theatre (we had one visitor in the group). Since the Greenwood inn was the only place around that fit the bill, we made a reservation. None of us had ever been here before, though we'd driven by frequently. Note: There are no pictures for this review since we were the last folks to arrive! Our first impressions were good. The entry space was clean and welcoming and the staff got us to our table quickly. The restaurant space is big, and it was loud. The menu is large. Like the family chain restaurants in RI (Gregg's and Chelo's) they seem to be trying to cater to parties with varied tastes and dining preferences/restrictions. So far, so good. Service was excellent. Our waiter (I was too late to catch his name) answered questions. Refilled water glasses, and brought drinks quickly and with really a nice demeanor. I had a salad with tuna, 2 of us had tuna sandwiches, one had the eggplant parm dinner, one the eggplant parm sandwich, one Caesar salad with salmon, and I was too far away to see the other orders. I had white wine, and a few had red wine or beer. The wine was fine, nothing special, but drinkable. My salad was pretty bland with a slightly tasteless dressing but what seemed like more than a full can of tuna. (The tuna salad was just as I like it. With very little mayo. Overall, a solid three stars. All of us who ordered either tuna salad or salmon felt this their meals were ok; not as good as we either of those other two RI places mentioned above. Sadly, others around the table were less satisfied. Reports on the eggplant dishes were that the eggplant was soggy, not crunchy, and not all that good. While my meal and my husband's were fine for us, as real Rhode Islanders, I doubt we'll drive the 11 miles to come back on our own, and our friends have already said that we'll make a plan to meet elsewhere for dinner before the next show this season. read more

Good food, great service! Their baked stuffed shrimp rivals that of Twin Oaks. I enjoy it so much, I want to get catering and eat half the pan by myself. I've never had a bad experience here. I love the high ceilings and homey feeling you get when dining in. They definitely know what they're doing and you can tell by how busy they usually are! read more

So this is a local spot for people that live in the Rhode Island area and as always the food was great this is definitely a family-friendly place they were a ton of children in there running around enjoying themselves having a great time the service was great and the food was absolutely fantastic read more

I usually order pizza and it's pretty good, but tonight was a big disappointment. In the past, on occasion, the bottom of the pizza has been black and I've let it go, but I really didn't want to taste burnt/charcoal flavor. I asked for a new one to be made. The 2nd one had no seasoning and the cheese/topping must've been thrown from across the room b/c there was barely any on the pizza. It was like eating bland bread. There aren't many good pizza places around anymore and I really liked the pizza here when it's made properly, but I guess I'll find another place to have it. read more

Food is great and so is the service I especially like the fact that they have choices for smaller appetites

Food, drinks and service were all great! We met a barback named Jack Lombardi who is a fantastic worker with a strong work ethic. Made my friends birthday special! Shout out Greenwood Inn I will be coming back. read more

We always go here before taking a trip, it's a great bite before the flight!! However last night we went for dinner on a Friday, the parking lot was packed but we were seated right away!! Our server was excellent and felt like she had been working there for a while. The restaurant was full of conversations but not too loud and my husband and I were able to talk at a reasonable level. Delicious food no matter what you order, definitely dine in!! read more

The soup wasn't hot enough it had to be heated up more but it was good and hearty. The snail salad could be seasoned more but the snails were very tender not rubbery at all. My uncle said the fish sandwich was alright .My waiter Zach did an amazing job with our service. I am really just trying some of the local home style restaurants and this is one that a lot of the local people in Warwick, RI frequent. I may return to try one the many Italian dishes. To s e if they have a better tasting dish. read more

Great food and service. Had the chicken parm and calamari. My beverage was never empty.

This was my second visit to Greenwood Inn, and I hope to return many more times. I ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer, and they were delicious and extremely large - 5 of them! I ate two and took three home with me. I also ordered the eggplant parmigiana platter with sausage, meatball, eggplant, and penne. There was a large green pepper, but I cannot eat green peppers, anymore. I should have asked if they had red peppers. Anyway, everything was absolutely fabulous. The tomato sauce is very, very tasty, so I had my waiter bring me an extra cup of it. I took about half of my meal home with me. The best part of my experience, was my fantastic waiter, Josh! He greeted me warmly, at the door and brought me to a nice, quiet table. Josh is very polite, well- groomed, friendly, always smiling and extremely attentive! I give him an A+ as a waiter!!!! The only item I was not crazy about was my cup of chicken noodle soup. The noodles were way overcooked and mushy, and there were only a few tiny pieces of chicken in the soup. The sliced, warm bread was outstanding! I will be back! I recommend anything served here with their delicious tomato sauce! read more

Took our neighbor Monday night for her Birthday dinner. Dinner and drinks were good but the shining star of the eveniing was our waiter, Zach! He was amazing.. attentive, accommodating, and extremely personable! Greenwood Inn gets extra credit for their attention to dietary restrictions! I've been twice with friends and family who require restrctions and Greenwood Inn takes that seriously and provides so many options! Well done and much appreciated Greenwood Inn!!! read more

My wife and I went to The Greenwood Inn as its Website stated they offered gluten-free options (absolutely a must for my wife). We were delighted with what we found. The menu offers many choices for those with celiac issues, including a separate fryer for French fries. My wife had the Sicilian chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. My Philly steak wrap was stuffed with tender meat and was tasty and filling. The wines we ordered were generous pours and Josh, our server, is the exact type of person a restaurant's management wants to represent it. He was friendly, efficient, and very helpful with my wife's questions. Prices are fair and the place itself is a very pleasant environment to dine in (both my wife and I were impressed with the cleanliness of the restrooms). read more

We had attended a school program and decided when we drove by, to grab dinner at the Greenwood Inn. It did not disappoint! Our waiter Sully was fantastic, attentive without being overbearing. We particularly loved that they have a smaller plate option for dinners. We settled on veal parm and the veal with peppers entrees and added side salads. The salads were fresh and crispy. Our veal entrees were spectacular; cooked to perfection and very tender. The new building was very different than the one I remember from my childhood. It was warm and welcoming and nicely decorated. We will most definitely be back! read more

Food is good but if you're not a "regular " expect to wait before anyone comes to take your order. We have been here a few times as a friend who lives out of state raves about the food when he visits. We will usually go with him when he's around and he is quick to defend them as being busy. The last time the restaurant was not even half full and the waitstaff just kept passing us by to go chat , not take orders but chat with others in the restaurant. I cannot take anything away from the food it is good just every time I eat here I'm made to feel like I'm inconveniencing them to take my order. read more

If we could give zero stars we would. I ordered what was supposed to be broiled scrod. It turned out to be an overcooked piece of frozen haddock, overcooked baked potatoe and canned vegetables. My wife who doesn't eat fish was served a burned over cooked breaded chicken cutlet with a cup of chicken soup straight out of can salty as can be which we sent back. I have no idea how this pace is still in business. Worst than cafeteria food. Don't waste your time! read more

Waiter was great! When traveling to the East Coast I always seek out eggplant Parmesan. It's difficult to get it that thin on the West Coast. So while the eggplant was delicious, the sauce was just meh. Sister had baked stuffed raw and loved it. read more

I was disappointed. I ordered littlenecks. I order these frequently at other restaurants and these were tiny. I know littlenecks are supposed to be small but this was ridiculous. Also, an order of fries, $8.00. Not freshly fried, just warm. Service was not great. The restaurant was not busy and we didn't see our server again after the food was served for many minutes. Did not check to see if the food was satisfactory or if we needed anything. Brown craft paper on the tables. Really? Is it too much to clear and clean the tables between customers? read more

Our first time there....and our last! The fish and chips, so greasy, couldn't eat it batter. Corned beef reuben had "chunks" of corned beef instead of thinly slices,,,,,,chewed to oblivion. Ordered and app,,,,,,the meal came out first!!! Cancelled it. Felt bad for the server as she was terrific and didn't know what to do to please us. Very loud as there was a large birthday party directly behind us! Not sure if we went there when the real chefs were off but definitely not taking another chance, too many other good restaurants to go to! read more

Update: Today I had the turkey dinner. 2 stars. Not even close to the standard set by the chicken parmesan. Turkey was tender and lots of it, stuffing was pasty, obviously canned and mashed potatoes were ok but also obviously canned. Served with Brussels Sprouts which were over cooked and mushy. Side salad was good but nothing special. Overall disappointing. Large family restaurant that has been in business forever. Large menu, lots of tables, good size parking lot, good prices, friendly service, large portions and good food! I had the chicken parmesan and it was the best I havr had in RI! The chicken was tender, juicy and very flavorful. There was plenty of rich tomato sauce and enough cheese. They provided a choice of two different pastas which was served as a side with lots of sauce. My companion had the fish and chips which she said was very good. I will definitely return. read more

1st time coming here for lunch today. On first impression, asI walked in, it looked like a nice place to dine. Was seated and was asked what I would like for a drink. I chose a ginger ale which was served fairly quickly. I looked over the menu as I was sipping my drink and selected chicken cutlet with gravy and choice of potato and vegetable. I chose mashed potatoes and butternut squash. I was told it also included a cup of chicken soup. The soup was served first and was very salty so I let the server know that I was not able to finish it and to please take it off the bill. Next came the chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes and squash. The chicken cutlet was burned to the point of looking black on both sides. The mashed potatoes were pasty and just like the soup, they were very salty. I called the server over and just like I did with the soup I told him the mash potatoes were too salty. I then told him that the chicken was badly burned and overcooked and the only edible item on the plate was the butternut squash. The server did show compassion with me and offered to have me look over the menu again and select something else. However, when he came back over I told him that I did not want to place an order for anything else and to please just take the entree off the bill. My husband had ordered clam chowder and for his entry he selected broiled cod which he said tasted more like haddock. He did eat most of it but said that it was kind of dry and overcooked. I wouldn't want to come again as it appeared to me that whoever is working in the kitchen is under experienced with cooking or there are not enough workers so unfortunately the food is not being prepared right. read more

Where do I begin? Tonight was my first time having dinner at the Greenwood and I was not impressed. I ordered a Malibu and pineapple and when it arrived it tasted strange and was discolored so I asked the waitress if she was positive it was Malibu and pineapple and she said yes but let me check. Long story short it was not Malibu and I was told they don't even carry Malibu and the pineapple juice they gave me was bad. The bartender made a new drink with a new juice and it was great. Let's move on to the appetizers. Potato skins were so burned and the clams casino had artificial crab stick in them... no clams. The dinner... we had fish and chips and chicken cutlets with scampi pasta. The garlic was so burned in the pasta that I couldn't eat it because it was so bitter and dry. The fish was burned on the outside and raw inside. When my husband but into it he thought he broke his tooth. My opinion is just that... my opinion. I'm sure they have some grest dishes, but my experience and first impression was terrible. On a positive note, the staff was lovely and the restaurant was cozy and quiet. read more

Stopped in after a picking up friend from the airport on a Thursday night. Wasn't looking for anything special. Maybe a sandwich or burger. Ordered sandwiches, which turned out to be a bit disappointing. Chick parm & eggplant parm. Both came out not toasted and not much flavor. I always loved this place, but I think we'll stick to a beer and an app going forward. read more

Food was very good and waiter was very nice. Great place. Would go again Very nice ambiance read more

Not so good, won't be back. Mike had a turkey dinner and it was just blah all around. I had the baked eggplant which was not to my taste but that's not to say that there was anything wrong with it. I just didn't care for it. I had a pumpkin beer with a nice rim. read more

The small portion turkey dinner is delicious. Don't let the word, "small" fool you. There is plenty of white meat turkey and stuffing along with mashed potatoes and butternut squash. The meal also comes with a cup of yummy chicken soup. All for $13.95. Skip the bread, tho. It is not very good. read more

Trying to stay sane with the pandemic, hit them up for the first time. Again, it being the pandemic, they only have takeout currently. There were a couple cars ahead of me, but it moved fast. Was promptly & friendly greeted, and since my order wasn't ready was asked to park in a spot close to the entrance. Pizza was good and ready in in the time quoted. They say first impressions are important, and my first impression was that it was worth going back sometime once this dies down...maybe even sooner. My only issue would be that if they are only doing takeout and not allowing people in, then to take payment over the phone. That would cut out a step and be one-two less trips the runner has to make back and forth. But not a huge issue and won't stop me from coming back. read more

Had a great dinner here last week. We wanted a homestyle dinner and wound up here after a hockey game on a cold and blustery day. The place is very welcoming, even for a few kids who play hockey. We had a party of 9 and we're able to sit rather quickly. They seem to be able to accommodate larger groups successfully, which I appreciate. The kids wanted steak, and although they only had larger steaks on the menu (18-20 oz), they were able to work out the smaller 8oz steak sandwich into an 8oz steak dinner for the boys. I ordered the turkey dinner and it was as delicious as Thanksgiving. Other party members had the chowder (really good) and meatball sandwich (ate it all!). All in all, a great choice for a good homestyle meal! Would go again! read more

First time here, and I'm happy to say it was fantastic. After a disappointing experience at the nearby Ironworks Tavern, we ended up here. Atmosphere as well as staff were amazing and the food was as well. Everything was cook as ordered and delicious. Drinks were fantastic and a generous pour. What a delight to find a restaurant that truly appreciates your patronage. Definitely will be coming back here soon! read more

What a great little neighborhood restaurant with a nice mix of items on the menu, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. We have tried several items and so far the stuffed veal parmesan is not only a favorite item on their menu, but flat out just a favorite item anywhere. It's SO good, flavorful, fork tender and enough food for two or three people. read more

Crowded on a Friday night, and the volume is pretty loud from diners at tables and at the long bar. Food was okay - Cole slaw did not have much flavor. The baked stuffed shrimp was not made with the traditional crackers, but tasted sweet like they used graham cracker crumbs instead. Server was great. Very clean restaurant and ladies room. Their recent remodel was a wonderful improvement! read more
