After a nice beach day, I came for dinner with my family. I wanted a Pina Colada, but was informed they couldn't make this so I settled with a Malibu bay breeze (not pictured). My drink was very refreshing after being under the sun. For my food, I ordered the Bridge Wrap with sweet potato fries. The wrap was packed with mozzarella and grilled chicken, and had the perfect amount of balsamic drizzle. Lastly, our waitress was very friendly and attentive throughout our stay, I wish I remembered her name! read more

Stopped in for lunch and was greeted immediately and told to seat myself. Seating is a combination of tables and booths. There is a large bar area with plenty of televisions covering all the games. Server, who was very pleasant, arrived quickly and took my drink order. The drink came with a small bowl of salty popcorn, obviously a trick to make you drink more. There were specials of the day as well as their regular menu. Both were pretty extensive and provide everyone with plenty of choices. I went with the clam chowder and rib steak sandwich. The chowder was very good, filled with plenty of pieces of clams and potatoes. Veggies were cut very small as were some of the clam pieces. Good for a rainy day. The steak sandwich arrived with a large side order of fries. The steak was thin, well grilled, but was a little chewy in places. It was served on a very fresh grinder roll with plenty of cheese on it. In spite of the chewy parts the steak was very good and made for a large sandwich. Overall the meal was good and there will be a return trip if I'm in the area again. read more

The Cove Restaurant - Atmosphere - Seafood Near Me - Charlestown, Rhode Island

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. read more

We got the fish n chips n strips which I thought was a perfect idea because I can never decide. I shared with my husband and we still didn't finish. It was great. The clam strips were amazing. My husband also got the seared tuna for and appetizer and he loved that. This is the first time we have been there and will not be the last! read more

The Cove Restaurant - Lobster roll - Seafood Near Me - Charlestown, Rhode Island

It seems like a local hangout. Ambience is nice enough (rustic, welcoming), but holy crap, is it loud inside. Like, we're talking louder than a strip club. You're shouting to talk to the person seated next to you, otherwise, they can't hear you. Service was excellent. Waitstaff is top notch. Our waitress (Lily, I believe it was?) knew exactly when to come around to ask if we needed anything. As for food, I had the seared tuna to start, and the fish and chips. The seared tuna was...ok. The sear was pretty much perfectly done. but to be honest, there wasn't much flavor in it. It had a drizzle of wasabi mayo on it, which was very light on the wasabi flavor, despite being almost neon green in color. But keep in mind, with the tuna having a very light flavor, the mayo's flavor shouldn't overpower it anyway. Onto the fish and chips. Honestly, the fish was nice. Breading on the fish was beautiful. Light, crispy, and airy. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite taste the type of fish under the breading (once again, very delicate flavors). It wasn't greasy, and it had a beautiful golden color to it. The fries were pretty good too. They came out hot and crispy, and a drizzle of malt vinegar on them was pretty magical. read more

Good food and great service. They were very accommodating to kids and the portions were generous. Great place to eat on a Sunday afternoon!

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 read more

We were looking for a place to go after the first day of the soccer tournament. This place was not too far so we decided to try it. It was busy so we had a 20 minute wait before being seated. It's a nice place, nicely done decorations. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Food ticket times were very good considering the amount of people there. The food was cooked well, just needed a pinch of salt here and there but overall a really good meal. If you are in the area, it is worth a visit. read more

My favorite local place for dinner at least once a week. Sandwichs are huge as order of fries. All the waitresses are so accomodating, making it a pleasure to eat there. Love having specials each day, wish thye would post on line, but it is always a surpirse when we get there. And some of the Friday desserts are Wonderful. Food is always great and it is a typical sports bar atmosphere, not noisy but a fun atmosphere. read more

5 star fish tacos! Huge menu. We go 6 or 7 times a year. Can't ever think of a dish that was sub par...

We come down every year to stay at Charlestown and our first dinner is always at The Cove. We got there late and were worried about the kitchen pushing our food out so they could leave for the night but that didn't happen. Dinner did not disappoint! The calamari appetizer and chicken tenders were excellent. The fish,chips and strips were outstanding! Lightly battered, flaky,fresh and delicious! Four out of our party of six had that meal. The other two had the baked scallops and rib-eyed sandwich. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we were still talking about it the next day. Thank you so much for the delicious dinner and great service, Sunny you were awesome! So sorry to learn about the passing of one of the founders of The Cove. We were shocked when she wasn't there to greet us but even more shocked to learn the following day of her passing. She was so beautiful, friendly and always so gracious to us. Rest in peace Robin Justice. read more

I Called in an order of crispy potato skins and a small order of Buffalo wings to pick up. She told me ten minutes and when I arrived, my order was ready to go. The potato skins are crispy, crunchy, loaded with bacon and cheese and travel quite well. Have some extra sour cream ready at home because you'll def want extra. The wings are crispy, and coated with Buffalo but not saturated in sauce. I like to pop these in the toaster oven for 5min and they crisp right on up. They come with blue cheese and celery sticks. Everything was cooked perfectly and was quite tasty, read more

This is a cool place with a great bar. We sat at the bar and were able to watch the football games. The barmaid asked what game we wanted and put them on. The menu has some pretty good options and is seafood focused, which was perfect for us. I had the flounder sandwich which was cooked perfectly and flavored nicely, but not overly powerful. It was topped with lettuce and ripe tomatoes. My wife had the Jambalaya which had a lot of fish and sausage. The chorizo was nicely spicy. The jumbo shrimp were slightly undercooked, which is never good, but otherwise well done. We'd come back again. read more

Great time listening to the karaoke singers while eating dinner. I had the salmon which was very good.

A little gem in a little town in SW Rhode Island! The Cove is a 21st Century of "Cheers!" The food is simple, stuffies, prime rib, coconut shrimp, lobster rolls, etc. All of it is very good and the atmosphere is perfect as a local staple should be. The outdoor deck hosts Karaoke one or two nights a week and its convivial and a great deal of fun! Stop by and enjoy! read more
