Seafood sub (on their specials menu- $16)
Robin U.

Went there on a Friday evening with no resy. There were about 10 families ahead so we waited approx 40 min to be seated but we really didn't mind because I had heard good things. Once seated, everything was amazing, food service, I had no complaints. The portions were so good for the price. I had a seafood sub that came with fries for $16. And I ordered 6 on the half oysters for $14. It was delicious! The staff are super friendly too. I will be making my way there again soon.

We were looking forward to trying Lindy's Tavern, but sadly it just wasn't our thing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty full in the dining room and very loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

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!

This is leftovers after 2 people ate lol

I am happy we gave this place a shot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is not a lot of signage but once you find the building you are good to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is large with lots of seating options including outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is also a separate building out back that I was told is a bar with bands![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. .

Colossal lobster roll
Lauren P.

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.

Stuffies in the front and fish and chips (onions rings for me) in the back

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!

Ask the Community - Lindy's Tavern

Where is the new location? Yelp is still showing 82 School Street in Forestdale, but I notice that another establishment is now at that address.

98 School Street... just up the road

What is the best time to come on a Sunday? Does it slow down any particular time? Does a packed parking lot necessarily mean a packed bar? Is there a hostess system now in the new bldg?

Sunday's can be hit and miss, especially if it's a 'game' day. So, with that in mind... you may want to go early before any games, or pretty late. The parking lot is huge, along with the bar area, if you don't want to go in to find out, either… 

When is the new location opening?

It's open now!

I've been dying to try this restaurant after seeing reviews and finding out it's chef owned (yes!)…read more We had reservations on a recent Saturday afternoon at 3pm. The restaurant is small (only seats 48) so reservations are recommended. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable, there wasn't very many people while we were there so I'm not sure how loud it gets when busy. They have a full bar so I ordered a drink and my husband loves his craft beers and they had a few (but he always prefers if they have a beer menu so he can read the beer description). For appetizers we ordered shrimp cocktail and the meatball. The shrimp and sauce were delicious, and the meatball was HUGE (we almost could have a meal with that!!! The meatball came with lots of sauce and ricotta with 2 toasted bread slices (we devoured every bit!). For dinner we shared 2 entrees, we got the seafood casserole which came with choice of side (we picked baked potato) and a vegetable medley, and the southern fried pork chops that came with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The food was so delicious we ate what we could and had to bring food home. Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable of the menu. This was one of the best places we've tried in a while. We eat out at least weekly and most places we don't go back for a second visit, but Lucky Dog Tavern will definitely stay on our rotation of places we love.

We placed our order at the window: * Sea Scallop Plate - $28.95 * Fish Filet Sandwich - (haddock) $9.50 That came to about $41 with tax, and they only accept cash. They have an ATM on the side of the building in case you're a crazy person who typically pays by credit card or phone app! We grabbed a shady spot at one of their many picnic tables. George's has plenty of seating, and a play area for children, both are very nice. They are dog friendly which is also great. Our food order was ready quickly. I carried the tray over to our table. We started by tasty some fries, which were hot and relatively crispy. And that's the best thing we could say about our lunch. The sea scallops were relatively small, and a little dry. The fish portion inside of a hamburger bun was tiny, my co-diner said the amount of fish was a joke. About a month ago we dined at Juicy Seafood in Worcester. The scallops there were excellent and the scallop basket which is similar to George's was $19.95. So next time I'm near George's Surf N Turf, I'm going to keep goin' by, and drive to Juicy Seafood if I'm craving fried scallops.

I've eaten here 3 times now and each time I thought it was really good. It's certainly good enough to warrant its own page on Yelp :) There's no dining room, but you can take your food to the outdoor bar and enjoy it there. The pizza crust isn't like anything else in this area and reminds me of the old Twins where the cheese and sauce go right to the end without that 1/2" of plain dough edge. The large pies are square and the small pies are round but have identical crust and flavor. The pepperoni is cooked to absolute perfection complete with cupping and charring if that's your thing; and it certainly is mine. The chicken parm is adequately portioned/meaty and the fries are decent although I prefer some skins on mine. I can't speak to the fried clams etc because I don't eat that stuff, but my understanding is that it's the same as what Lindy's serves. I'm not sure if it's always the same person that answers the phone and retrieves your order, but I've had the same one all three times and she is friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. To me there's nothing worse than calling a place that does only takeout and the person on the other end being cold and unreceptive. Every now and then I might crave a neopolitan or Greek pie and will patronize another spot, but this is definitely our new go-to joint for pizza in this area!

Pizza was great! The taste, the crunch everything delicious. The service was friendly and fast.read more
