As I was looking for a place to have a nice dinner with a few coworkers, Wharf Southern Kitchen and…read moreWhiskey Bar ABSOLUTELY caught my eye. First of all, let's talk about the space. Nestled in the Wharf, it was a cute little place with both an up and downstairs. We reserved a spot for around 5:30 (in April) and it was pretty open. There weren't too customers yet, and it was nice and quiet. If you're looking for a ton of space for the seating area, I will say that there isn't too much room/it's pretty nice and cozy! At Wharf Southern Kitchen and Whiskey Bar, they've got a line of booths along the wall, a bar area right in the center and at the actual bar, a high top, another bar at one of the entrances, and a table that seats six. Now let's chat about the service. Our waitress was wonderful, patient, and was extremely helpful when asked questions and also gave SUCH wonderful suggestions. There were MANY fantastic choices on their menu and I was having a pretty difficult time narrowing down which one I really wanted, but with our waitress's help, I was able to choose pretty quickly (and they were AMAZING choices!) Now the food! The wait for the food honestly wasn't that long, and when we got it, we ABSOLUTELY CHOWED... -The Crispy Chicken Bites were AMAZING! I ended up upgrading to the Buffalo Style, and it DID NOT disappoint at all! The Bleu Cheese crumbles were just the perfect amount, and the Buffalo sauce was JUST enough to still enjoy the crispiness of the chicken. I DID ask for ranch on the side, and that just was *chef's kiss*! -I've never had fried pickles before, but I certainly have never seen a restaurant do it with whole pickles. Though it was my first time trying fried pickles, it tasted great! I wouldn't say it's anything special, but it's a great, and lighter on the fried side, appetizer! -I was having a hard time choosing what entree to enjoy, but I'M SOOOO glad that I went with the Smoked Brisket Chopped Cheese! I'm not a big brisket girl, but I will say that this was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! At first when it came out on the bun, I was a little skeptical of how it would taste, but it definitely didn't disappoint! The brisket was cooked SO well with the perfect amount of seasoning, and it all just melted so perfectly together as I was eating it. And the tater tots were SO AMAZING (though on the saltier side) and SO perfectly crispy. I've only got great things to say about Wharf Southern Kitchen & Whiskey Bar & I WILL be back here/will suggest it to my friends visiting Newport one day!

No one at the hostess stand, slow to take orders, and over 30 minutes for food even with very few customers. Food: The burger came on a slightly sweet bun with a house mac sauce. The fries were crisp but on the smaller portion. Unfortunately, the quality of the burger meat was questionable. Chowder tots wasn't great. I would not recommend.

Right off the bat, the Thai shrimp nachos is amazing with an addictive curry sauce. The wontons not sitting in the sauce will be crunchy enough to scoop. The clam chowder is very flavorful but lacked content, it was basically like soup. The linguine bolognese was good and different. It tasted like a fancy hamburger helper with premium ingredients. Overall a great experience!

He was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and incredibly patient while we all debated what to order because everything sounded so good. His recommendation of the fish and chips was spot on! My husband and I both ordered it, and it was perfectly cooked with a light, crispy batter and delicious fries. Our friends had the mussels and the lobster roll, and they loved both dishes. The harbor view made the experience even better. It was the perfect setting to relax after a day of exploring. Great food, outstanding service, and a beautiful waterfront location--JB's delivered on all three. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

Lots of meat and no complaints there! We will be back!

I stood there and asked her if I'm supposed to seat myself or something. And she responded sassily you can seat yourself at the bar. Mind you, it's an empty restaurant... so I explain that I'd like a table away from the door. She seats me quite literally next to the door and slaps the menu on the table. I immediately walked out due to her rude and unwelcoming nature.

We started with a few app's between large antipasto, mushroom caps and bolognese bread. Such a great combo to enjoy. Main for me was bolognese, after having on the bread it was a shoe in for the main and it was rich and full of flavor! Desert we grabbed two of the specials to split as Our bellies were nearly at capacity (plus already planned to take half the main home). Both cones were amazing, PB chocolate very rich and the lemon cello olive oil was fresh and light. Service was quick and very gracious as our party staggered in haphazardly. We were quickly served, always bussed and cleared and graciously given the next portion of our meal. The vibe is casual and upbeat, average noise level to enjoy a great conversation with friends over an amazing meal!

If you have the opportunity to sit outside in the summer, it is just spectacular. The inside and main restaurant are probably a three out of five by comparison. But if you can snag an outdoor spot, don't think twice. Five out of five. Service: 4/5 Nothing that knocked our socks off. The bartenders weren't the most talkative, but drinks and food came out fast. They're super busy and we'll give them some grace. Gets the job done. Food & Drinks: 5/5 My wife and I came here specifically for drinks and appetizers, so I can't speak to the full menu -- but if the apps are any indication, I imagine the food here is just excellent. We got the John Daly frozen iced tea, and it was so good that we literally left and came back for another one. Perfect summer drink. We also got the clam chowder, and I'm giving this a six out of five -- probably one of the best clam chowders I've ever had in my life. Just perfect. We also got the Parmesan fries which were good, not crazy amazing, but solid. Overall: 5/5 Come here for the outdoor bar experience, the drinks, and the clam chowder. That alone is worth the trip. One of our favorite experiences in Newport and I couldn't recommend it more strongly.
