    Came for best sandwich and i was very impressed by the surfers end wrap! Def would come back for it, and would love to try breakfast at some point. They have a big menu and everything sounds amazing they also have drip coffee, soft drinks and ready to go food items. The service was great and food was made really quickly! Everything was fresh and delicious! The side is super cute! Would def come back! Glad RI food fights brought me here!

    Thanksgiving

    Stopped by for lunch recently and, wow, we we impressed! Just an ordinary little mini strip-mall storefront. The kinda place you don't even notice driving by. Inside, it's clean, warm and welcoming. We had planned on grabbing our sandwiches to go. This would be a great stop en route to the nearby beaches. But, an open corner table convinced us to stay eat in. I chose the Thanksgiving and was very happy with that selection. Unusually, it was made with fresh roasted turkey breast - not the turkey deli meat you usually find. Perfect balance of stuffing, cranberry & mayo on a crusty French roll. Delicious and really hits the spot when you are craving a turkey dinner! When my partner picked the Cubano, I was a bit concerned. We had lived in South Florida for more than a decade & had enjoyed Cubans from some of the best. Could this live up? While we lack good Cuban bakeries for the perfect bread in coastal RI, the pressed baguette was a good substitute. And, like our other sandwich, the fillings were high quality and well balanced. Another great sandwich! A delicious, huge cookie, chips and drinks rounded out a very good The Roasted Clove is our new favorite sandwich stop in the area!

    The Italian

    The Roasted Clove in Middletown lives up to its bold slogan: "Treat Your Garlic With Respect." And wow, do they ever. We were doing the RI Food Fights #BestSandwichRI challenge & we were so happy to find this gem! The atmosphere is warm & inviting, staff clearly takes pride in both their food & service. You can tell this is a place that values quality ingredients & thoughtful preparation. I selected a personal favorite: muffaletta. The first time I came across this delicious sandwich was in New Orleans at Central Grocery in the French Quarter. There it starts with a large, round, sesame-crusted Italian loaf. At The Roasted Clove, it was on a more focaccia-like bread. Then it is filled with a stack of soppressata, mortadella, black forest ham & provolone. The real star (for me) is the zesty olive salad: a tangy, briny mix of chopped green olives, garlic, capers, celery & carrots, all marinated in olive oil & herbs. YUM! Hubby selected the Italian: ham, sweet capicola, Genoa salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pepperoncini with the OG parmesan vinaigrette on a baguette. He loved it. From the take out cooler, I selected the Sweet Potato Salad. It was so good that I found a recipe with similar ingredients & went to the grocery store to buy them so I could make it at home. Sweet potatoes, dried cranberries, crumbled feta, red onion slivers, chopped parsley with a dressing of Dijon, honey, cumin, paprika, apple cider vinegar & EVOO. Savory yet slightly sweet, light but filling. A perfect accoutrement to the delicious sandwiches. Highly recommend

    There's something deeply satisfying about a place that doesn't try too hard but still manages to get everything right. The Roasted Clove in Middletown, RI, is a culinary diamond that isn't very rough - a place where quality ingredients and skilled hands converge without any unnecessary pretension. Walking in, you're immediately struck by its unpretentious clarity of purpose. Clean lines, wooden tables paired with black metal chairs, light-filled space with blue accent walls - it's a spot that says "we care about the details" without shouting it in your face. The soundtrack of Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa pulsates through the space, creating an atmosphere that's decidedly millennial but welcomes all. This isn't some faux-rustic temple of reclaimed wood where you pay for the Instagram opportunity as much as the meal. No, this is a bright, welcoming place for people who expect to get what they pay for. The menu board - a massive, hand-lettered masterpiece - looms above the counter with a depth and breadth that might induce a mild panic attack in the chronically indecisive. But here's the beauty: whether you land on the "Surfer's End" with its grilled chicken and avocado, or the "Thanksgiving" sandwich that brings November's greatest hits to your table year-round, you're in good hands. Their "Build Your Own" section offers an embarrassment of options - various breads (baguette, wheat, sourdough, wraps), proteins ranging from roast beef to turkey to veggie options, and cheeses from provolone to feta. The "Pressed Sandos" section promises the grill-kissed goodness that promises to transform a good sandwich into something approaching transcendent. And don't sleep on their house "OG Sauce" - a magical concoction of red wine vinegar, Parmesan, roasted garlic, mayo, and Italian seasoning that elevates whatever it touches. I went straight for the Meatball Sub, and my friends, this isn't some phoned-in, sauce-from-a-jar disappointment. These are serious meatballs - tender, well-seasoned, sitting proudly in a sauce that knows its role isn't to overwhelm but to complement. The provolone and parmesan add the necessary sharp, salty counterpoint, while the baguette - that crucial delivery system - strikes the perfect balance between crusty exterior and chewy interior. What makes this sandwich work is restraint. The sauce isn't overloaded with oregano trying to scream "I'M ITALIAN!" at your taste buds. The meatballs aren't dense orbs of despair. Everything plays its part. The display cases reveal a wealth of other treasures - house-made spanakopita, meat pies, various salads (the tarragon chicken looks tempting, roasted vegetables, and sides like mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. The Roasted Clove is not reinventing the wheel - it's just making a really inviting, tasty wheel. Just quality ingredients handled with care and served in a space that makes you want to hang out. This spot isn't trying to change your life. It's just trying to make lunch better. And in that modest but essential mission, it succeeds admirably.

    I've passed this strip mall 100 times on my way to the growers market over the summer. But thanks to the RI Food Fights Sandwich Showdown, I finally made my way inside. The interior is bright and open, with a variety of drinks and prepared foods on display. They have a good selection of sandwiches and wraps but we settled on the meatball sub and the roasted veggie wrap. The young man at the counter was quite patient with us as we haggled with each other over what to have and who would pay The meatballs were tender and had good flavor. Definitely lived up to the Nana title. The baguette was slightly chewy but didn't resist too much as you bite into it. The wrap had a nice mixture of vegetables and the arugula was fresh. The bites that had the garlic aioli were quite tasty but the vegetables were a little under seasoned otherwise. I was wishing for a zip, a zing... something tangy. The pricing was very reasonable for the two sandwiches and you can tell they try to use top quality ingredients. I'm glad I stopped through this month, because now I know my go to spot on my way to the markets this summer

    Nicely pressed and crispy cubano
    Michael P.

    The Roasted Clove, very happy to have found this little hole in the wall. They have quite the selection of food, cold cut sandwiches, hot sandwiches, pressed sandwiches, soups, salads, classic deli sides, you name it, they probably have something for every mood. I ordered the cubano. This sandwich from most places is typically solid, but many fail to stand out- this one does. A pressed buttery baguette with some deliciously seasoned pulled pork, mustard, a generous amount of Swiss, mustard, house made pickles, and a few slices of black forest ham.. It was fantastic. From the first bite, I knew I was in for a great sandwich. Most places just have some plain ol shredded pork and don't take the time to thoroughly season it, this pork could have stood on its own without the other sandwich ingredients. The acidity from the pickles, richness the Swiss lends to things overall and the crisp buttery baguette made this sandwich hard to put down- I didn't want to stop chowing down. This was a roughly $13 sandwich, a great value. I was a little hungry after, but if you get a side you will likely not run into that, I have an abnormal appetite and we did a ton of walking before this. My wife got the surfers end and it's a bit more of a substantial portion mainly because of the vegetables and the volume that 2 big grilled chicken tenders brought in. It was tasty, I was able to sneak a bite. Value, quality, flavor and service earned this place an easy 5 stars. Will absolutely be back and highly recommend!

    If you're in Newport, Sprout & Lentil is a must-go--and totally worth the 10-15 minute drive…read moreoutside of Newport. It's a small, cozy spot with just a few tables and countertop seating, plus a couple of outdoor tables that are dog-friendly. The truffle mac & cheese may be one of the best vegan mac & cheeses I've had in a really long time. So creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. The cauliflower bites were another favorite--fresh, crunchy little nuggets tossed perfectly in honey mustard. I originally thought the sauce would come on the side for dipping, but I actually loved that they were coated so evenly. So good! Hubby had the Rubenesque sandwich, and everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. There was also a steady stream of people picking up online orders and grabbing food to go, which definitely made us feel like this is a local favorite. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a meal here, or taking it to go for a beach picnic or to enjoy at one of Newport's scenic spots. And if you're looking for coffee and heading out of Newport, seriously recommend Simple Merchant House. We stopped there right before Sprout & Lentil, and again as we were leaving Newport on our last day. After lunch, we looped back into Newport to visit The Breakers and Marble House, making for such a fun day.

Smaller shared parking lot to be mindful of here. Very welcoming staff that provided a great overview of the menu, drinks, made to take items and weekly specials. Casual relaxed atmosphere here with some music jamming in the background. Window bar seating if you are on your own or tables for four if meeting for a quick lunch bite. Started with a small chili which was fresh and full of flavor. For the main went with the Tuesday special with the recommended fish tacos (hearts of palm layered with nori flakes, crisp grated carrot, and shredded purple cabbage and a sliced jalapeño. Crispy tortilla with side of beans and rice). You can add a fresh pico and guac for additional prices, had both and were delicious! Assortment of drinks in the fridge along with some premade items (staff said it is rotational items and prepped earlier in the week if you want to max your options). After eating here can see what all the buzz was for a standout vegan option on island. A group came in after me and ordered a pizza that looked awesome as well. Will be back to try more of the menu when able!!
