    Turkey club
    R.J. P.

    A cute little breakfast and lunch spot that is obviously a huge hit with the locals. Place was full the whole time I was there. I went for lunch and opted for the turkey club, which was quite tasty, though I may ask for a little more mayo next time. Opted for fries on the side and they were super crunchy which is always a plus. It's nothing fancy inside, but has a certain small town charm. Specials are listed on a black board on your way in so be sure to turn right upon entering so you don't miss out. The menu may not be the most creative but it's got a good assortment of the classics. Pricing was very reasonable and I do like that they have counter service, which just always feels nostalgic in the best way. The service was friendly and welcoming, which was nice to see considering I wasn't one of the many regulars dining there that day. It's definitely a spot where you feel like everyone knows each other, but don't let that stop you from visiting. It's a spot where I would say everyone would feel welcome.

    Specials of the day!

    We actually wanted to visit another diner for their "crack bread", but that place is closed on weekends so we came here. Everything at Rome Point Cafe was fantastic, would definitely recommend and we look forward to coming back!

    Tofu scramble with sliced tomatoes.

    I got the tofu scramble and a decaf coffee & everything was delicious! I've been talking about it for days. The service was so great and accommodating when I told them that I had gastric bypass surgery and couldn't have the toast or hash browns, she was willing to substitute it for sliced tomatoes for me. The cafe looks like a perfect old-school diner and I sat at the counter, which was really nice. This will definitely be a staple from now on!

    We've stopped into this breakfast and lunch spot in the past, but it's been a while. We don't often find ourselves on this stretch of Rt. 1A during meal time, but as we were in the area, at the right time, we stopped in for lunch. There is parking on the side of the building by the trees and in the back. The entrance is on the Rt 1a side of the building. Inside there are several small tables in the front part of the building, including two by the windows each side of the door, as well as a few counter stools. Behind a partition wall are a few booth seats. The interior is nothing to write home about. Linoleum tile floor peeling, lots of electrical wires added to the walls for things like AC and appliances. But you are not here for ambiance you are here for food and everything is clean. They have tried to make it as cozy as possible The staff are super friendly and efficient. They serve breakfast throughout open hours as well as lunch by late morning. We were told to have a seat anywhere and menu's were brought over. During our visit every table but one was full, so definitely a favorite with the locals. On the wall to the right of the entrance is a 'blackboard' type application where they write the specials and there were quite a few including soup of the day and baked goods for take away. They had many take out orders during our visit and the staff clearly knew these folks as they chatted familiarly during their purchase. We ordered sandwiches for lunch. They come with a pickle, which is both sweet and sour as well as crisp. Fries are a la carte, which is fine, because these sandwiches really filled us up. There was plenty of meat in there, and the rolls were warm and soft. A very satisfying meal. Actually, it was more than enough to fill my stomach. I left stuffed. The price for the sandwiches was reasonable and the food quality good. There is one tiny restroom tucked in behind some tables that you have to squeeze by to enter. It was clean and stocked. All together we had a pleasant lunch.

    Ate in the cute nook here. Service was lovely. Prices are amazing. I built myself an avocado toast sandwich

    Banana bread French toast
    Rosanna P.

    Friendly service, relaxing vibe and absolutely delicious food! I had the banana bread French toast with a side of scrambled eggs and cheese and my husband had the Skippers plate and we just ate way more than we should have! Fast service and lots of seating! We will definitely be back again!

    Best lobster benny, very sweet meat, excellent sauce, great service, and clean bathroom. I suspect this is a favorite of my locals here. I will be back

    Counter seating, full up (or nearly so)

    Decent diner with old-school swivel-stool counter seating, friendly service, and all the standard comfort foods you'd expect - plus some nice specials that are always well worth considering. My colleague opted for breakfast - and it looked good! - consisting of scrambled eggs, toast, ham, and home fries. I went for the lunch side of the menu and had a brace of hot dogs with sauerkraut, fries, and cole slaw. Solid and satisfying. It's a lively place, fills up fast, so I'd advise you come early to ensure being seated quickly!

    Great neighborhood spot near Wickford. Limited seating so you may wait. Feels like an old timey breakfast spot with good prices and classic menu items and furnishings. Simple yet good. We especially enjoyed the mocha cold brew from local coffee shop, Nitro Cart. Also enjoyed the eggs Benedict with corned beef hash.

    Swiss cheese omelette with bacon bits, hash brown potatoes with English muffin.

    Very tasty food here at this very popular breakfast/lunch cafe. Because of its popularity, you will have a wait. We were here on a Sunday morning just prior to a February snowstorm around 10 am and it was packed. They have a pager system, where you need to walk up to the cashier/waitress to get the device and then wait for your number to be called. I saw some local regular customers, who were greeted by name, go wait in their car with the device. We ate at the counter and were served by a VERY friendly waitress, who clearly knew her regular customers by name. The servings were generous and my blueberry pancakes were fluffy and wonderful. My spouse's Swiss cheese omelet with bacon bits and hash browns were very satisfying, he said. I asked to bring my remaining coffee to go and was pleasantly surprised when I was given a large coffee cup topped off with hot coffee. Nice touch! I would visit here again, but will make sure to plan some time to get a table/seat.

    Tuna melt
    Syp V.

    Reliable, simple, and hearty brunch/lunch food done well and at a great price! I mean avo toast for under $4 is impossible to find! I've heard so many great things about this cute place. It lives up to the hype! It's a no-frills but charming little diner with the metal countertop and stools and all. I could tell right away our waitress was experienced, friendly, and a straight-shooter...just my style. We both got a bowl of the chicken, artichoke Florentine soup (note: it's creamy, not clear broth like I had expected) which was delish. Perfect size too. I got a Tuna Melt with curly fries while my hubby got the Reuben and a spinach/pineapple/mango green shake (great that it was all natural but seemed like the fruits weren't super ripe so was a little on the bland side). Both sandwiches were generously filled and came with homemade pickles. Overall, was very pleased with our quick meal! My only nit is that the giant "Rome Point Next Door" sign with the arrow pointing right towards a door is extremely confusing. I didn't realize there's a second smaller coffee shop called "Rome Point Next Door." The arrow adds confusion unless it's intentional? It made it seem like the entrance to the actual restaurant was past the door to the right. I wonder how often people get that mixed up!! Poor usability/customer experience that started us off on a bad foot since it was raining and we were walking around trying to find the entrance.

    Food is okay for breakfast. Service was good, no complaints. Ambiance is crowded breakfast dining. You are in and out pretty quick.

    Second visit for RI Food Fights' Best Iced Coffee and I was so impressed by all the updates since…read morelast year! I walked in on autopilot and headed left to grab my coffee, only to realize the entire layout had changed. The new bar area is beautiful, inviting and such a great addition to the space. Coffee service has moved to the back and while I was checking out the prepackaged gluten-free muffins in the cooler, I was warmly greeted by the staff. I ordered the Iced Grasshopper with milk and it was delicious. Smooth, refreshing and the perfect summer coffee. Very minty. One of the employees noticed me looking around and took the time to explain all of the renovations, show me the new bar and point out their weekend dinner specials, which can also be ordered for takeout. That personal touch really stood out. If you're stopping in for coffee, don't miss the specials board. The dinner menu looked fantastic and I'll definitely be back to give it a try. It's great to see a local business continue to grow while keeping such friendly, welcoming service.

    Ten years is a long time to stay away from a corner table…read more I used to work just down the road from Wild Harvest. Back then, I was there often enough that it became part of my week. You ordered at the counter, found a table, and waited for your name to be called. No table service. No bar. Just good food in a place that felt comfortable the minute you walked in. I left that job ten years ago. Wild Harvest never left East Greenwich. My friend Frank wanted to take me to lunch for my birthday. I knew exactly where I wanted to go. Lauren greeted us at the door. She's been managing the restaurant for a few weeks. I wanted to see how much the place has changed. "Where would you like to sit?" "The corner." A minute later, I was sitting in the same corner where I'd eaten lunch more times than I could count years ago. Wild Harvest still has the log cabin bones that made it stand out when it first opened. Heavy timber walls. Exposed beams overhead. A taxidermy deer wearing red, white, and blue bunting like someone decorated it for the Fourth of July years ago and never got around to taking it down. It still feels warm. Comfortable. Like itself. The changes over the last ten years, though, are hard to miss. What used to be a counter-service café is now a full-service restaurant. There's a real bar. A chalkboard announces dinner from five to eight, seasonal menus that change every week, cocktails, and Friday night flights. The place has grown without losing what made people want to come here in the first place. They don't call it a chicken parm. On the menu it's simply "Parmesan," listed beside the hot meatball as though everyone already knows what it is. The ciabatta is baked in house every day, and it tastes like it. The crust was blistered and lightly floured, toasted enough to push back before giving way to a chewy interior. The provolone had gone beyond melted into something draped over the edge of the cutlet. Underneath, the breading stayed crisp despite a generous layer of sauce. That's usually the first thing a chicken parm gives up. Not this one. The chips deserve a mention, too. They're house-made, fresh-cut, still curled from the fryer, the kind that remind you potato chips are supposed to taste like potatoes. Frank ordered the Mediterranean wrap with Wild Harvest's homemade veggie burger, hummus, romaine, tomato, shredded carrot, cucumber, and tzatziki. His lunch looked responsible. Mine looked like someone having a birthday. Neither of us seemed interested in trading. Frank picked up the check. We thanked Lauren and headed for the door. Ten years is a long time to stay away from a corner table. It's even better when you find out it was worth coming back.
