    My experience here was highly enjoyable. It was late and I was fresh off of travel, I sat at the bar. I hadn't eaten so I ordered a bit of everything with the waitress recommendation. The Mac and cheese was delicious and a bit garlicky. It was the breadcrumbs but worth it. The flatbread was more of a personal pizza than a flat bread and it was hot honey and delicious. And the wings were the perfect amount of sweet and savory. It's smaller than you think and I can understand why they would be busy all the time. It's a great establishment.

    Cute spot! Stopped in with a friend after work on a Thursday. We got in quickly without a reservation but I can see what people are saying that if you are going on a weekend during peak hours that you should make a reservation as it isn't a huge restaurant! Our waitress was very nice and patient with us while we took awhile to order. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and my friend got the ceasar wrap. The fries were great, sandwiches were also really good! Would like to come back and get one of their main dishes as they all sounded pretty good. We got the bread pudding for dessert (sorry forgot the photo) but that was really good!! Would get again.

    I was looking for something to eat while visiting Rhode Island for work and found The Shanty on Yelp. I arrived around just after 5 and sat at the bar. The restaurant wasn't too busy, but there was a steady crowd. People were either dining in or picking up to-go orders. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, so there are plenty of areas to dine. The bartender was friendly and helpful. I decided to go with the seared salmon, Brussels sprouts, and corn risotto. Thankfully, it wasn't much of a wait because I was hungry. My food came out fresh and hot. Everything was really delicious. My only complaint was there were a few flies swarming around me, which made my dining experience less enjoyable. I spent most of my time trying to swat them away. The bartender even moved me to another spot, but they still followed me. While I really enjoyed my food and the service, it might be a good idea for them to invest in small table fans to keep the flies away. Otherwise, my food was tasty, and the service was great!

    We all had different breakfast items and everyone was happy with their choices. I had the eggs Benedict with crab and loved it. The menu has an eclectic mix of items and plenty of drink options too. Service was good, our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. Prices were reasonable. The parking lot was limited but they did have additional parking a short walk away. I would eat here again!

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    David L.

    The Shanty is a quant restaurant (and good sized bar) serving up unique twists on some tasty comfort food. The TV dinner, which changes seasonally, is certainly playful, and the Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, maple carrots, apple crumble, etc. was a hit. The fish and chips, fried chicken sandwich, and burger were all somewhat predictable, but they were also all well executed. The thick beef patty had all the expected accoutrements, the fish was tender and flavorfully battered, and the rustic cut fries appeared hand cut. My son loves tartar sauce, but didn't care for their version, which contains artichokes. Our server steered us toward the comfort food, rather than the salmon or statler chicken we were eyeing. She was attentive, but relaxed, and cinnamon sugar rimmed beer added to the warm vibe!

    * Big Ole Burger add avocado, bacon, egg * Cod fried * Big Ole Burger no sauce, no tomato * Tater tots * Fries The service was really good. The cod had a watery outside that made its inside kind of soggy which was weird cuz it was so crispy on outside. They don't have cocktail sauce. The tartar was good. I sent back the sandwich and got the burger. Super solid quality beef and good pickles. Also the onion was grilled which is new without having to ask. Also they don't load the burger down with lettuce. I like. My husband devoured his burger before I even blinked he added egg and avocado and bacon I think lol Cute place with some outdoor seating. Seems really busy around brunch but they were attentive and the was a midsized parking situation available.

    Calamari
    Grace P.

    My dad has always raved about this place. I think it was alright. Service was casual, not really necessarily friendly, in my experience. My dad had a salmon dish I didn't get to try but it looked crispy and delicious. I was not too peckish so I ordered calamari & caesar salad for my meal. I had a diet coke + lime. The lime was rotting brown and gross so I just put it on the table. Small things matter. Calamari was okay but chewy and after it cooled a bit, it was incredibly tough and inedible. Caesar was dressed well and chopped finely which I always loooove. I wish it had anchovies! Next time I check this place out, if I do, I think I will try brunch because I have heard nice things about it.

    Espresso cheesecake
    Robert M.

    So I am in the industry and was searching for a local place to make a regular spot. What a beautiful place. I think I may have found it. Came in and was immediately greeted by Sergio and Kaylee. The informed me that I made it in time for 1/2 off apps. The buffalo wings were amazing! Sauced perfectly with a nice crunch because I asked for them well done and they definitely made them perfectly for me! I ordered the NY strip and informed the dynamic duo of my mushroom allergy, they were kind enough to let me substitute the risotto for the Mac and cheese. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare, the Mac and cheese had a breadcrumb topping and was phenomenal. I enjoyed a few drinks, my favorite was made by Kaylee, it was the cherry limeade mule, beautiful presentation and such a great taste. To finish the night Sergio informed me that the desserts are made in house, I had the espresso cheesecake. Let me tell you I was happy Sergio suggested it, the dynamic duo almost had to wheel me out tonight. I can't wait to see what's on the menu next Monday!

    Tuna special

    Delicious food, great drinks, and great service. We the tuna special - cooked perfectly!

    Stopped in here while in Warwick for a quick bite to eat. Pleasantly surprised when opening the door to go inside. A nice big open bar, totally expected a place with just tables! Small outdoor seating as you come across the parking lot ! Looked cute and well covered. We stopped for something small and a drink on a Sunday . Nice brunch style breakfast and lunch menu. We had a few draft beers, the yam fries and soy wings. The yam fries came with a tasty aïoli sauce for dipping. The fries themselves were bland , fried with skins still attached, I had to peel the skins off so I could bite into the fries . A little over seasoned . The wings were crispy, and nicely cooked but too salty for my taste. Had a nice stop . If you are looking for a decent bite , it was what we were lookng for.

    Great fish and chips and burger. The fish and chips were awesome. Just right flaky and flavorful! I recommend the Shanty!

    Bright delicious lemon drop martini!
    Michael D.

    One of my absolute favorites! The sweet soy wings, mac and cheese, and yam fries are among my favorites! Favorite cocktail is the lemon drop martini made with grey goose le citron! A local gem!!

    Do you have outdoor dining?

    Yes

    Do you do bottomless mimosa brunch?

    No but they have great drinks

    Do they have high chairs?

    Yes and booster seats!

    How vegan friendly is this place?

    I would say moderately so. Since they make every order freshly, they are more likely to be accommodating. You can't really be farm to table and not be vegetarian/vegan friendly.

Upon entrance is a doorman who is so friendly and accommodating! He found us an open table and checked on us throughout the night. The place was packed and they only had maybe 5 or 6 employees so the service was a little slow but understandable. I think the longest wait was about 20 minutes when we were waiting to get our initial drink order taken, but everything after that was fairly quick. For drinks I got a thin mint martini because they were out of the chocolate reuge martini I wanted. It was so yummy and came with 3 thin mint cookies. My mom got a pistachio martini and the Jefferson Tea. Both were pretty good but I wouldn't order again. My dad got Dead Mans Redemption which is good if you like bourbon. It comes with a wood topper and they light it on fire, let smoke fill in the drink, and then take the wood off. The drink then has notes of smoked wood in it which is cool. For food we got the crispy spring rolls and pepperoni flatbread. Both were so good!!!! It was absolutely worth the wait!!! I could eat the whole flatbread myself it was that good and I can't wait to go back and get another one. The crowd is definitely much older, not a lot of younger people around. It's a good date night for married couples. Overall it was a nice place and I would come back.
