    Service was amazing! Our server was absolutely killing it -- she was the only one working during spring break and handled everything like a pro. The Hawaiian plate was delicious, and the two-meat platter was very good too. Great portion sizes all around. We'll definitely be back!

    Pulled pork, brisket, fries & mac and cheese.

    This place is nice. It's tucked away in a neighborhood so if you didn't know it was there you'd never see it! It smelled delicious! The service was friendly and fast. The food was good. I took a star away because my food came out slightly cold and I felt like the Mac and cheese could have used some more cheese.

    tri tip, pulled chicken, bbq beans and mac salad
    Priya P.

    i definitely recommend this place for anybody visiting newport, our waiter was very nice and there was live music playing while we ate our meal. the mac salad was delicious and creamy. i did not try the baked beans but it seemed like it tasted good according to my dad lol. All the meat was giving tendernism (ifykyk). I will say i ordered the ribs and we accidentally ended up w tri tip BUT the tri tip was freakin good bruh. i was a lil sad we still got charged for it but it was worth the extra 3 dollars and im not a karen, trust.

    Chicken tacos
    Erin T.

    Found this place on a whim and so glad we did. Hawaiian pulled pork plate, chicken tacos and Brussels Service was great and the patio is dog friendly. What more could you ask for?

    2 meats and 2 sides. Brisket and pulled pork with fries and baked beans.

    If the weather cooperated, we could have sat outside with our girls (four legged). The service attentive. Ambiance great and they accommodated us by putting on the Seattle Seahawks game! The food was absolutely delicious. I questioned my husband getting the Hawaiian plate but found myself eating almost all of his mac salad. Brisket was delicious, husband loved it because not pure fat like some places. The pulled pork was tasty but what surprised me was baked beans. I'm not fan but they were damn good. If wasn't so full, would have gotten smores brownie. Next trip, gotta try the wings.

    Best BBQ I've ever had! I've been hearing and seeing the buzz via social media about this up and coming BBQ joint "across the bridge and up the hill" in the Southbeach neighborhood of Newport. We were passing through town last week and had to see what the hype was about. We navigated to this new part of Newport that we didn't even know existed. Up at the top of the hill was this cool glowing log cabin like place on the edge of a forest. We walked in and were blasted by the insane smell of delicious BBQ! The place was slammed! Music, surround sound and just a cool vibe. A super nice gal greeted us from behind the bar, then came around and handed us menus with a big smile and sat us at a table by the window. She talked about the menu, special board, and how all meats are smoked in house (freaking awesome by the way), sauces made in house, bread baked fresh in house, etc. It was like sensory overload, but in the best way! She recommended some great sounding dishes. I went with the old school burger ground from their house brisket. She sold me on get it "Deluxe style" with fresh produce from their local farmer's market. (How cool is that) Best burger I've Ever had! Service was amazing! She brought our beers right away. Our food arrived a bit later. They were super busy, so we got it. There were 2 gals running the place. Both On it. Our server's name was Stacy. I didn't catch the other gals name. Mai Tai IPA was damn good. My buddies birria grilled cheese with consume (I'll get that next time). It was all extremely good! Great overall experience. Highly recommend. We can't wait to come back. In the meantime, we'll be shouting to Everyone we know to head "across the bridge and up the hill" to the BEST BBQ IN NEWPORT!!! Seriously.

As luck would have it, the Hawaiian restaurant was closed, so a second Yelp search led us here. It is a cute little yellow building with a lot of charm. There wasn't anyone else there! That is just sooo wrong! We called in antipasta salad, garlic cheese bread,eggplant parm,sausage lasagna, and the kid grabbed 2 marionberry scones for Saturday breakfast. It was the young lady on the phone's first day and she did great! Everything was well packaged and the hot food was piping hot. The salad was cold and crisp/fresh. We didn't know our pasta came with bread, too. The bread is very good. So.Much.Bread. All the food was delicious and we have tons leftover for a second meal. We enjoyed everything. We drove it back to Newport and ate it at the beach because we needed our Friday dose of Vitamin O. I would totally get food there again. The breadsticks were great, we think that bodes well for their pizza being delicious too and will try that next time! Go try it! It is too good to miss and only 15 min away from Newport!

With a storm blowing in we were craving some clam chowder. Homegrown did satisfy that craving! Unfortunately, service was a little slow because there was only one waiter. Luckily, we were in no rush. Appearance - The warm string lights created a nice, cozy vibe. (Maybe the rained helped too!) Overall, the food was plated well. Taste- Garlic Parmesan fries- mmm so delicious with a yummy aioli to dip them in! Would highly recommend! Caution if you're sensitive to garlic... be aware that the parmesan can easily be mistaken for garlic chunks! Steamers- My husband got this and said it was very fresh and he enjoyed the broth. I tried it but I'm not a huge wine person and to me the broth was very heavy wine flavored. Fried Fish Cod Sandwich- Unfortunately I learned on this outing that I don't really love cod. The fish on this sandwich was not very meaty.

However service was very slow as it appears it was only one server and the other was the bartender but would help out occasionally. Food also took a while to come out and were served our main courses before our appetizer and salad. I also felt like the prices were quite expensive for a small town like Carlton. For food we ordered the renegade potato's, a house salad, French toast and the biscuit and gravy. The renegade potato's were so good! Nice crispy potato with a spicy aioli! The house salad was a little disappointing. It was pretty but it didn't have the seasonal fruit that I was looking forward to. French toast was decent; a nice crispy brioche French toast with what appears to be a homemade blueberry jam. But this didn't wow me as much as I thought it would. The biscuits and gravy was interesting though and almost tastes like a spicy sausage gravy. If you're in the area, I would definitely check this place out! But if not, it probably isn't worth the drive.
