The Shanty is one of those places I don't go to nearly enough and I really need to change that…read more I was specifically craving hand-cut fries and theirs did NOT disappoint. I got the Big Ol' Burger and it was so good. Cooked perfectly, the special sauce was delicious and as you can probably tell from the photo, the fries were exactly what I was looking for. Everything tastes really fresh here. It has that farm-to-table quality, but in a relaxed, laid-back (but still really pretty) setting. We came for lunch and I loved that they had brunch options too. We didn't get any adult beverages but I was very tempted by the entire drink menu, so next time! Our service was also outstanding. Really everything was A+. Definitely a local spot that I need to remember to go to more often.

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.

This was yummy, I liked the flavor combinations it used, but there was too much rice for me especially for the price. For my entree I got the broiled scrod with fries and broccoli. The fish was nice, I liked the breadcrumbs. The fries were those really yummy extra crispy ones, and the broccoli did its job. The staff was helpful and nice, and the locale was very on-theme with the seafood, but in a very tasteful way! I would definitely recommend this place!

Bartender seating people had a terrible attitude. Talked to patrons like they were children. Ordered a lemon meringue martini. Thought it tasted an awful lot like pineapple. Bartender asked me if it was "ok". I just said yes because I didn't feel like complaining. Afterwards, I heard her telling somebody at the bar that she forgot to put lemon in it. She forgot to put lemon in the lemon meringue martini. Must be why it tasted like pineapple. We ordered stuffy's, which took forever to come out as we watch everybody else that came after us get their appetizers. Probably waited a half hour to even put our order and we had to repeatedly ask staff for everything because nobody would come over to the table. I got fish and chips. My husband got a veal Parm sandwich. The food was good, but the tartar sauce tasted oddly like nutmeg or cinnamon. Sat waited and waited and waited. Finally asked for our bill only to get someone else's bill and have to go back up to ask for our bill. I guess the locals must like this place but we did not... definitely a one and done for us.

Best of all, as a Cranston girl I love having more great restaurant options nearby rather than having to go to Providence or elsewhere to try new places. My dining companions and I tried the chicken omelet, Makmak biscuit, caramelized banana pancakes and buffalo chicken Benedict between us and all of us were extremely pleased with our choices. I also love that they take reservations for brunch which I find rare at a lot of breakfast spots so this is a nice option if you want to be guaranteed a table and not have to wait.

Nina, who was helpful and so very friendly, alerted us to the full course meal. It happened to be a Monday evening and the full meal special was meatloaf which both Hubby and I do like. It was a full course meal. I ordered a grilled cheese since I knew I would enjoy some of his meal. The grilled cheese was extremely scanty having a very small amount of cheese so I would never select that again. However, the meal itself was quite good. Salad was excellent, meatloaf, vegetable and potatoes were high is scoring too! the dessert which was a phenomenal chocolate mousse cake was perfection. Eating that was heavenly!! So his very reasonable full course meal pleased both of us and we would try that again!!

See the hostess to be seated Food is diner type items such as a full on meatloaf meal, fish entrèe, Chicken parm, as well as sandwiches, burgers, pizza, apps and dessert. Something for just about everyone. Last visit I tried the taco salad. Theirs comes with black beans and a choice of ground beef or chicken in a flour tortilla bowl loaded with lettuce, tomato and cheese. This salad is huge. Banana peppers give it a slice kick with a medium salsa and sour cream side to mix in. Exellent dinner salad option. The chicken parm meal comes with spaghetti or ziti and is a large portion. You can also get the chicken parm as a sandwich if you prefer. Breakfast, lunch and dinner service. A local non-profit hosts an annual fund raiser here: a percentage of all meals eaten on a specific day goes to the non-profit organization. The restaurant does this often with local groups. Love that community spirit. Service is always friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking in front and to the side. Restrooms are by the door, a bit older but very clean.

We usually visit the Providence location, but this time we decided to try the Warwick location instead and I'm glad we did. Upon arrival, I immediately appreciated the ample parking and the variety of seating options available. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. We ordered several items from the happy hour menu, along with a few dozen oysters. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and came out quickly and efficiently. The appetizers, in particular, were absolutely delicious. Overall, this location provided a more relaxed and convenient experience compared to what we're used to. I would definitely return again and highly recommend it to others looking for a hassle free dining experience with great food and service.
