    Nice stop for lunch if you're in Charlestown, just not if you're in a rush. It took about 35-40 minutes for our food to come out when we ordered and there weren't many people here. The sweet potato fries were phenomenal- totally recommend. The burger was good (random note but the cheese is thick- my friend liked that and I did not so do with that what you will). Yummy though! They have a cute outdoor area to sit if that's your vibe! Inside is a little dark but we sat by a window so we got some natural light. The AC was really nice though. Service was fine, but it took a while to get seated, to get our food, and to get our check.

    Fantastic lobster roll! Our server Lynette was great and the outdoor seating was perfect!

    Wow! Where else can you go for a shrimp Caesar salad that looks like this! Amazing hometown spot! Like Cheers...... where everybody knows your name! Rock on Marissa and Kelsey

    Stopped in on a drive by looking for something fast and light. What else. ChowDa. And yea. That did it for us. Is you can call chowder food, was good ChowDa. That's it. Two of them. Two soup 4 stars. Wish we had more time to spare for more.

    New place NEW town. We are spending the weekend in the area and we wanted to try this new place. I have to admit I wasn't pleased with the waiting time, 45 minutes its a little to long for anybody but OH BOY! It was worth the wait? YESSSS. Our waitress was so sweet and so helpful. And the food? YUMMM . fresh and a good size portion. No wonder why this place was so busy, they also have a nice back patio where they play nice music with a karaoke. Loved it

We dined and had drinks at the restaurant twice; highlights were the jalapeño margarita and the clam chowder. They even managed to modify a fried calamari to be gluten free, and that was exceptional too. Shoutout to our bartender Kristina for taking great care of us. Even if you aren't staying on site, the restaurant is worth visiting. My fiance and I loved our stay here, and even managed to take beautiful photos on their beautiful property.

The service was quite good and we did not feel hurried at all, yet things did move along at a decent pace. The food was not 5 stars for each of our party. I had the Portuguese Cod which was terrific! The swordfish was also thought to be excellent. The sirloin was deemed to be just OK. The other two of our party had Caesar salads and they thought they were fine but let's face it, a Caesar salad is pretty much the same from one good restaurant to another. Sorry to say we had no room for dessert or even coffee.

    Nice spot to grab a beer and some pub food. They have a big bar area where you can watch the game…read moreand cozy booths to the side and back. There's a good selection of European style beers on tap and they have a cocktail menu as well. Service is friendly and quick. We had wings and fish and chips. The fish and chips was a massive portion of beer battered fish and a huge mound of fries with a side of slaw. While the fish was flaky and fresh the fries were not very crispy which was a disappointment. The garlic parmesan wings were delicious and came with nuggets of fried garlic. They have live music in tent outside during the warmer months as well as outdoor seating for those blissful summer days.

    New menu item alert!…read more New season, new menu. The Rathskeller put a shio pork ramen on the menu. Now, it's sort of confusing, in that by the name, I was thinking it's a shio broth. The item description says it has a miso broth. When it came out, I tasted no miso, and it wasn't cloudy in the least, as I'd expect with a miso broth. It tastes like a shio broth, so the name does not lie. Anyway, it is very very good. It comes with 2 slices of chashu pork that just melt in your mouth. This is a lovely dish and perfect for cold nights. Also, the night I went, the creme brulee of the day was butterscotch. And I'm a sugar fiend, so I absolutely loved it. Cut it with a bit of coffee, if you're not as much into sweets. The sugar crust was just a bit thicker than you'd normally get (but, I actually like that...I actually find the "proper" creme brulee crust is too thin), and it was perfectly creamy and smooth underneath. It was a great dessert to close the meal.

I really enjoyed the peel and eat shrimp, the grilled steak and the scallops. Many in my group loved the endless lobster. The dessert bar was another good stop. My suggestion is that you get there early, when they open Friday evening. We didn't need a reservation and thank goodness, because the line grew shortly after we got in. Again, can't say it enough, go early, you'll be glad you did. This way you can enjoy getting what you like with less foot traffic inside.

    5++ Stars -- The Nordic Is a Bucket List Feast Worth Every Mile…read more The Nordic Buffet in Rhode Island was absolutely to die for. It's been on my bucket list, and it delivered everything and more. Yes, it's a little pricey, but the experience? Beyond worth it. This place is a hidden gem that deserves way more hype. Let's talk food: unlimited lobster, and not just skimpy tails--full one-pounders+, buttery and perfect. Crab legs, oysters on the half shell, clams--you name it. They were literally shucking oysters as we walked through the line. Fresh, abundant, and absolutely indulgent. Prime rib, filet mignon, a dessert bar that could rival a wedding spread--it was nonstop deliciousness. The vibe? Rustic, outdoorsy, and charmingly old-school, yet massive and tucked away like a secret culinary retreat. The server was flawless, the ambiance was adorable, and the whole experience felt like a celebration. I'm already planning a weekend trip just to go back. If you love seafood, steak, and unforgettable dining--this is your spot.
