1st time ever stopping here. It's all outdoor dining , picnic tables and umbrellas…read more I ordered the whole belly clam dinner and a bottle of water . Was like $40 ish. Came with plenty of clams, not over breaded or overcooked , they were just right . The belly's were big and juicy ( don't think about what you're actually eating ) with zero sand . I did get an extra tartar sauce . No complaints. The French fries were plain and kinda soggy . The clams were on top . They were just average . And the all valuable Cole-slaw . I got my one or two oz . Was ok , but never a satisfying portion . But that's everywhere . It's just me . The Cole-slaw was good though . Service was quick and friendly ! I'll be back !

We spent about $130 including tips so I would say that the food was good but they should definitely give more tartar sauce and a normal portion of fries since mine was half of what my friend got. The food was hot. Everyone was smiling, nice, cool breeze, and looking at the inlet and all the people out. Crapping was cool.

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.

I got the succotash soup, and the fish and chips. The succotash soup was in a light broth with lots of kale. This really let the sweetness of the squash shine. It's not a hearty soup by any means, but it is super satisfying. I ordered a cup, and at the end of the cup, I wished I had ordered a bowl. The fish and chips... price vs portion size, it's fair.........which means I personally wish I ordered two plates of it. I'll be honest, I have no idea how they pulled this off, but the breading on the fish didn't fall apart, it wasn't greasy, and it was crispy, flavorful, yet, it didn't mask the delicate flavor of a white fish. It's the type of fish and chips that you find yourself eating without slathering tartar sauce all over it. The small portion of cole slaw also left me wanting more of it. There's a slight sweet and tang to it, and the veggies in it are crisp and fresh. Overall, I feel like this is a diner+. Like, this is what a diner becomes when it grows up. Fair prices, friendly staff, unpretentious, clean, welcoming, and most importantly (to me, at least), great food.

What can I say? 2023 James Beard Award - first indigenous chef, only the third in RI history, and…read morea woman. Kudos!! We dined on Friday two days after the award was announced. We got there before 5 PM when they opened (no reservations) and the line was 25+ strong. We made the first seating with some folks dining on the overflow picnic tables outside (they seat about 36 inside). Forgot to thoroughly read the website and we were the only ones not with a bottle (BYOB at $5/bottle). So, one of us ran off to Charlestown Wine & Spirits for wine. The downside is that it took 2 hours to get our appetizers and 3 hours to finish our meal (we did not order any desserts). Most people took it in stride but a few diners were verbally "pissed". Why I think this happened. The have a server and a "bus boy" (the latter his first day) - probably enough staff for that. But the cooking was overwhelmed - unfortunately, the award winner Chef Sherry Pocknett is battling breast cancer and the cooking is being handled by her two daughters. So, I assume understaffed. Also, everyone arrived at the same time. The good news. The food is great! The chicken wings, pulled pork on fry bread, "3 Sisters rice", mac and cheese, ribeye, and venison were outstanding. And large portions. One flaw was mashed potatoes came out warm at best. We'll be back - despite a 1-hour drive each way - to try out their breakfast or lunch offerings. Finally, they are trying to do too much. A large menu followed by daily specials plus additions on the chalkboard. And some days doing 3 meals. Trim back significantly and hopefully the dining times will become manageable. Damages with tip for 3 was $140.

We spent a long weekend here and could not have made a better choice. We had a joint suite with our…read morefriends, which was clean and comfortable, and also featured an elevated balcony that we loved using for late night hanging out. 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. We love the General Stanton Inn!

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.

Not knowing the changes in the menu very well but was very nice. They had a small but nice wine selection which I thought odd because their name has "BAR" in it. The food was very delicious and well presented. My only wish is that the Sea bass plate was small, and they could easily have thrown a couple of fingerling potatoes on the plate and made it perfect. All in all our dinner and experience was very nice and I would definitely recommend it and return myself. I would like to come back and stay in the inn. It is very beautiful there. I would have given 5 stars if the few minor issues mentioned were addressed. This really is a wonderful place the dine!

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.
