I've been coming to Lindy's for years now as it's one of my Grandma's favorite restaurants. I'm honestly surprised it's taken me this long to give them a review! I definitely recommend coming in early as peak times there can be a long wait. But, I was happy that we didn't have a wait tonight. The restaurant itself is large and open but because of that can be hard to hear, especially if there are tables sitting next to you. I appreciate that they always have a specials menu as they have some imaginative dishes on there. Our waitress was friendly. She was pleasant but not overwhelming and made sure that we had everything we needed. If you haven't been here before I would recommend their seafood. It's all high quality and reasonably priced. Tonight though, I had the Alfredo with chicken and mushrooms. I will say their Alfredo is superb. It's buttery, rich, creamy, savory, and everything else you'd want an Alfredo to be. The chicken was thinly breaded and perfectly tender and the mushrooms were copious. I definitely had more than enough food for two meals. My grandma had a burger and liked her meal as well- I'm always a big fan of the pickle. If you haven't been to Lindy's yet, definitely try them out. It's a quality pub! read more

We had a horrible experience yesterday. Waiting to check 8n and thr staff took people that came after us to be seated. Then we waited a good 15min for our waitress to come and take our drink order. She was rude and rushing. I get it it was super busy. Then we waited another 25min and we were super hungry. She kept walking by taking care of other tables. We left $10 on the table for my husband's beer and my iced tea and walked out. Never again read more

We were looking forward to trying Lindy's Tavern, but sadly it just wasn't our thing. It was pretty full in the dining room and very loud. Prices are very reasonable. We both ordered the seafood chowder and we both didn't like how thick it was. My partner got the linguine with clam sauce and I ordered the seafood salad roll, we thought both of our dinners were good but nothing special. read more

Haven't been for years. WOW they moved to a great new location with a spacious dining room. Steamers are still awesome. Service was great!

Very busy on weekends, kind of Long wait. Super busy big bar, with a lot of bartenders. Drinks are good. Service was a bit slow, but it was a very busy night. Lobster roll and steamers were pricy but very good. Rustic atmosphere. Waited for parking too read more

Lindy's was a 5 star for me! I was in the area for a work event and walked in the door 5 til 9pm. I could tell they were starting to clean up so I asked if the kitchen was open. They said until 9pm. I said okay never mind because I didn't want to be "that guy" the staff insisted that if I could order in 5 minutes it was no big deal because the bar was open until 10pm. Anyway, I proceeded to order the stuffies (seafood mix stuffed in clam shells) and fish and chips (I opted for onion rings). While I waited for my food the bar staff was polite and conversational and serve me some cold local beers. Then the food came out. The fish was the size of Shaq's shoe, and tasted amazing. All in all, I had a great experience and wonderful food. 5 stars! read more

Finally made it to Lindys Tavern in North Smithfield, RI -- just under 30 minutes from Worcester & right off 146! Sunday's special is a $7.50 Bloody Mary topped with a huge shrimp, & it did not disappoint We started with a generous portion of crispy calamari, then dove into our entrées -- he had the 2lb stuffed lobster with a baked potato & butternut squash, & I went for the turkey dinner. Everything was seasoned perfectly & absolutely delicious! Don't forget to try the cornbread, some of the best I've had. Also, huge shoutout to Becca & the crew for their seamless, top-notch service from start to finish We left full, happy, & definitely planning to return! read more

This was the best service in a very busy restaurant. I believe our servers name was Alyscia and she was awesome! The food came out hot and delicious. The table had a burger, chicken fingers, and a whole belly clam roll; everything was great! Thank you Alyscia! We will be back! read more

I am happy we gave this place a shot. There is not a lot of signage but once you find the building you are good to go. It is large with lots of seating options including outside. There is also a separate building out back that I was told is a bar with bands! The service was quick and friendly. Our waitress was confident and competent. I appreciated how fast she got things without making us feel rushed. Now the food. We started with a stuffy (stuffed quahog a RI specialty) we got it Portuguese style with a spicy sausage inside. It was delicious. I didn't want to share but i did. The filling was flavorful and it had just enough heat. We got the calamari RI style. It was tender and tossed in garlic butter with hot pepper rings. It was great the only negative for me was it was served with cocktail sauce instead of marinara. I'm sure they would sub it if asked. So no points deducted. Main course we shared a fisherman platter. It came with a giant piece of fish, 3 fried shrimp and a bunch of fried clams and bay oysters. Coleslaw and tarter too. We subbed o-rings for fries. 2 of us couldn't finish this plate. So much food. The oysters and shrimp were tender and delicious. The clams were clean but a tiny bit chewy. That's the case with clams so I wouldn't call it a drawback. The fish had a cornmeal batter. I do prefer a beer batter but this fish was delicious. Flaky and white with a nice crispy outside. Tartar was typical and slaw was nice. One of the better ones I've had. Overall super great seafood. We loved this place and will definitely be back. . read more

This place has shitty service and has terrible food. NEVER COME HERE. bugs all over the ground and it's disgusting. These people had seemed to ignore. I walked into Lindy's Tavern hungry and left... still hungry, but now emotionally confused too. The menu looked like it hadn't changed since 1987, and I'm pretty sure neither had the food. My fries were somehow both cold and soggy at the same time -- which honestly felt like a science experiment gone wrong. The waiter disappeared so long I started wondering if he clocked out mid-shift. When he finally came back, I had already memorized the entire ketchup bottle label for entertainment. The burger looked like it lost a fight before getting to my table, and the soda tasted like it was 90% ice and 10% regret. The best part of the visit? Leaving. Even the chair squeaked like it was warning me not to come back. Would I return to Lindy's Tavern? Only if I needed a place to test my patience... or if every other restaurant on Earth was closed. read more

Second visit was nothing like my first. Actually ended up the same table with the same waitress. Ordered the colossal lobster roll because I loved it so much the week before and I got served the small one. I said I ordered the colossal and my waiter said nope you ordered the regular one. We also got clam cakes and chowder and they were all just warm, nothing was hot. read more

Lindy's is a friendly big open Tavern. It's loud with lots of TV's, a great place to watch a game. The Food.....FANTASTIC! They are known for their seafood (according to our friendly waitress) but the Nacho's were the best I've ever had! I highly recommend it! read more

Ordered 3 menu items came out to about $64., holy smokes but the portions matched the price and the food quality was great so I can't even speak more on that lol. A lot of bang for the buck! All of the below was shared, feeding 4 grown adults with some leftover still. Triple catch platter ($28.99 market price) comes with fried fish, fries, onion strings, fried scallops, fried clams & coleslaw. The fried fish was the star of the show! My mom had it for the first time and asked where I picked up the takeout and wants to order more tmrw. Great portion, crispy, fresh & not fishy. I couldn't stop coming back for more. The only thing is, the clams are whole belly and come with all the brown smutz and I wasn't a fan of that, I may just opt for fish & chips combo next time. We also had the $15.99 seafood chowder combo w/6 clam cakes. Chowder was very good and not just all broth which I loved, there was definitely potatoes and chunks of seafood in it unlike other places where it's all broth and no substance. Clam cakes were pretty dense, they were good but was hoping for more clam flavor and more light. Lindy's special Bbq burger was so good!! May be the best burger I ever had from a casual restaurant. Plentiful on the menu offering toppings that are stated as: bbq sauce, cheese, bacon & sautéed onions. So moist and flavorful; also came with fries for $14.00. read more

My "go to" place when I am working and need something quick to munch on or something savory to satisfy my pallet. Either way, the food is flavorful and delicious. My go to meal is usually the Reuben, YUM!! The service is good and the staff are lovely! Attentive and kind which can be hard to find in today's industry. I'll definitely be back. read more

We had a nice family meal here! They have a little bit of everything on the menu. Chicken parm was great! We had a larger party and despite there being a wait, once we were seated drinks and meals came out fast! Service was excellent too. Can't wait to come back and try something else read more

You won't find well prepared food at a better price! This past weekend I enjoyed the "small" lobster roll and it was quite large and excellent! Far better than some snob appeal restaurants for sure! Staff are efficient and the food is served promptly. Can be a little noisy at prime time, be forewarned but quieter midafternoon during the week. read more

It's a great spot. Great food and service in an atmosphere that feels homey. I would highly recommend it.

Great value and fantastic choices on their menu. They don't disappoint you, All of the food choices are to die for. Good luck making your dinner choice, you'll want to try them all. read more

Had the baked sea scallops. Not as good other times, but still good. Too much cracker topping. Service was good, but a little distracted. We will give it another try before writing it off. Not crowed at 3:30 *** read more

Everyone knows about Lindys!!! Its always crowded and we always wait to get a table knowing this. Their prices are fair and also the have plenty to offer. I dont want the word to get out if you havent been, lol. They are busy from the afternoon(lunch) through to dinner. read more

To go order. Container needs to be vented. Italian grinder needs you to squeeze out liquid from banana peppers etc. Don't throw fries on top of soggy grinder and steamy container. read more

I was asked while waiting in line if it was my first time to Lindy's. It was and the kind lady let me know that the food was fantastic. She was so right! I started with the seafood chowder because I am not a red chowder person but I won't hold that against them! This place does comfort food and seafood options in a big way. Portions are large. I had the seafood platter and it was cooked perfectly. You will most likely have some to take home. The seating area is pretty open and there is a nice bar area. Service was great. It's a local favorite and one of mine. read more

Great food!!! Best Stuffie ever! Great New England comfort food. Set in the woods. Big parking lot. We had a wait but not too long. Can't wait to go back read more

Great food and service. Great place to take the family. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone

Service is always fantastic and attentive, we were able to find seats at the bar right away and the bartender kept on top of refills. We ordered a bunch of staples, scallops, lobster roll, steamers, whole belly clams, clam chowder, and washed it down with Narragansett! The lobster roll was slightly dry and the portion was less than I remember, but the flavor and toasted roll was delicious. The chowder is always on point, loaded and creamy. Steamers never disappoint, we had 2lbs. The whole belly clams are meaty and tender and come with fries. One of the best things were the buttery and super light scallops, I'd order that every time we go. The ambience is a clean, fun, and bright yet cozy. Very much a family friendly sports bar. read more

I'd say it's good to great! 4.5] Prices are great! Food is great! Service is prompt. It's so busy here so the waitstaff is running like crazy most of the time - but they still manage to bring extra drinks and check in regularly. My choices over the visits were: Prime rib - delicious! Great value! Tasty! Available Thurs and Sat. I could go for another one today. So good. French dip sandwich - also good, but the au jus was too salty for my taste that day. Nachos - not a fan. Not at all. Their "queso" cheese was all pooled on the bottom of the plate/bowl underneath the bed of nachos like they poured a ladle full of cheese on the bottom and popped nachos on top. They were messy and soggy underneath. We left a lot on the plate, which was a waste of a $12.99 app. We love a good nacho plate (we held the chili - don't like chili) but this one didn't hit the mark at all. Burger - good. Nothing extravagant but it was good, solid choice. I do like their fries. Nothing super fancy, but they taste good. Buffalo chicken sandwich - also a solid choice. Excellent portion of chicken, fried just right with a nice hearty bun and buffalo sauce with the right about of heat. It's a great value for $10.99, if I recall - but tomato/onion/lettuce are extra and dressing are all extra and my topping choices brought it to a reasonable $12.29. No complaints there! Garden salad. Their Italian dressing is great - fresh salad. Definitely a good option to start a meal off. A large starter is a great share size, the small is a great single size. Just right and affordable. So all in all, I do like it here A LOT. It gets SO BUSY here so get there at an "off" time if you can. It's obviously a local regular spot for many, but also a hot spot for folks looking for a good meal for a good price. It's definitely a good find and, frankly, worth waiting for if they are busy. read more

I came to Lindy's to see a a fellow band play in the back area of the parking lot, it is a separate building altogether with a bar great place to watch a band, but I did travel inside to the restaurant, it was very busy, it is first come, first serve, I will tell you the food was delicious, the weight staff is very attentive to your needs, very professional establishment, I was with four people, and we all ordered something different from the menu, everything that we had ordered was excellent, there was nothing negative, and we never ran out of drinks. Which was very impressive because of how busy the whole establishment was. I highly recommend when you're in this part of the state of Rhode Island. You have to stop in. read more

We picked this place because it was one of few around the Burrillville area after we visited the Conjuring House. Inside, it's very open with high ceilings. The waitstaff was friendly and apologetic for running a little behind, but we didn't mind as we weren't in a rush. I ordered the lobster roll and forgot to specify hot or cold and it came out cold... at first I was mad at myself but then took a bite and it was outstanding! I rarely get cold rolls because hot/CT rolls are simply superior but damn this cold roll was the best cold one I'd ever had. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing. And as an added bonus, their coleslaw is AWESOME! Such a rare joy to find perfect slaw. All in all a wonderful delicious time. read more

This is a nice place. The staff is very friendly. There were lots of locals and we sat visiting with some who said they were regulars and loved the place.

I always get seafood here only places around with an amazing lobster roll. I get it and the calamari everytime!!

1 hour wait to be seated, but the food was worth the wait. Everything that our party of 4 ordered was plentiful and delicious. Tender prime rib and lots of shellfish. The prices are very reasonable. Our waitress was too busy to be overly friendly, but she got the job done. My only complaint, they need to put sound absorbing panels on the walls. The restaurant is extremely loud and its difficult to carry a conversation. read more

Service was very good on a busy Sunday in November and the food was pretty good. The wings were excellent, the salads were typical pub salads, and the nachos were good. I liked the tuna melt but there was a lot of butter that was too much. The place was clean and ambience was cozy. read more

A small but tasty restaurant located just over the border in Rhode Island. It looks like a biker bar, but please don't let this turn you away. A good size u shaped bar with several choices on tap and a nice selection of mixed drinks. Not a lot of seating and the wait can be long, but don't let this deter you. The menu is large and the specials are always enticing. I had the chicken sandwich, a perfectly cooked half a breast with a large portion of fries, for only $12 bucks. Wife had a scallop, whole belly clams and haddock. What a huge platter, for not a large dollar amount. Perfectly fried platter, with not a lot of batter to hide the flavor of the seafood. Wife finished with a chocolate peanut butter martini, need I say more read more

our server was amazing. The best server we ever had here. The seafood platter was perfection. The mac and cheese was very good with lots of little scallops inside. The lava cake looked great but very disappointing. the cake was very dry even with the lava. the ice cream seemed over frozen. and lacking flavor maybe from being in the freezer too long. read more

Everything they serve is excellent but my favorites are the lobster rolls and turkey dinner.

It would be helpful to the public if the daily fb posting stated the prices for those items that are "market" on the menu. Today the price is .... for whole clam plate etc. This would allow the public to know in advance the price instead of having to drive to the restaurant to get the information. read more
