After spending the day surrounded by crowds, I was looking for a place where I could simply relax and unwind. The Windjammer ended up being exactly what I needed I didn't order any food this visit because I was really just looking for a quiet spot to enjoy a drink while waiting for the crowds to die down. And I'm so glad I stopped in. The mudslide was phenomenal. My dad has always made my favorite mudslides, and he'd probably hate me for saying this... but this one was even better. It was perfectly creamy, smooth, and absolutely delicious. One thing that really surprised me was how spacious the bar actually is. From photos online, it looked like it might feel a little cramped, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. The layout is open, there are multiple ways to access the outdoor seating areas, and it never felt claustrophobic. The outdoor space is another huge plus. Between the cornhole boards, ladder ball, and plenty of room to spread out, it's the kind of place where you could easily spend an entire afternoon with friends or family. Most importantly, the staff was wonderful. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and made the atmosphere feel relaxed from the moment I walked in. Whether you're looking for a lively afternoon with games or just a comfortable place to escape the crowds for a while with a great drink, the Windjammer is well worth a stop. read more

We love this place,good food great atmosphere, we can bring our fur baby, drinks are good. Sitting right on the beach is the best. Entertainment.. But I do have to mention I was very disappointed in there menu,they changed it and got rid of the Mahi Mahi sandwich. It was my favorite sandwich I ended up getting shrimp tacos. There were 3 tacos with 2 shrimp in each with lettuce. Very disappointed. read more

I went to the beach to take a walk and take a break. It was a beautiful day so the Windjammer was open preseason for lunch. We were greeted right away and the hostess let us pick our seats outside. The waitress was prompt and put our drinks orders in right away. When she brought our drinks she asked if we wanted apps, but we told her we were ready to order. The food arrived quickly and it was still hot. **Beware the seagulls. ** They can be very persistent. One tried to steal my drink and another wanted my burger. You need to keep an eye on your food any where in Misquamicut because the seagulls are ruthless. My drink was cold and my burger was delicious. Two thumbs up on a beautiful April day. read more

The 'jammer is the perfect beach bar, if you know what to order and when to go. It's a huge place and gets absolutely slammed during summer weekends, but you can also go on a Wednesday afternoon. The wings are pretty killer (jerk chicken pictured below) and $6 Coors Originals, Yuenglings, and Red Stripes keep the good times rolling. PLUS you can catch my homey Lincoln shredding with his band throughout the summer which is not to be missed. Take a load off, maybe slow down a little and enjoy the vibes on island time, and you'll have a great time. read more

We came by an early afternoon almost 2 pm on a Friday. We were at the beach and decided to come by and have a snack and a quick drink. We loved the Tuna on wonton crisp. Tuna was absolutely perfect. Perfect squares and super fresh. The flavors of the sauce and perfect crisp wonton was the perfect combination. You can't go wrong with this spot. I was surprised at the beer prices considering the perfect location. We sat and tanned on the back chairs. Bartenders are always nice as well. And the live music is a plus!!! read more

No frills beach bar. We sat outside and although it was a windy day it was hard to beat the view. I had the Proper Whiskey Double Smash - excellent & juicy. The side of tots were fine, but nothing special. Service was adequate. One point deduction for no soap in the men's room. read more

If you plan to come here, just go in with expectations of knowing that is is a beach bar. It's a large place with great outdoor seating, lots of drinking, food and drinks spilled on the floor, loud music and partying. They definitely get a five-star on that end. We arrived for our reservation with a group of five, they decided to squeeze us into a table for four stating that's all that they had although two tables of six sat empty next to us the whole evening. Most of our food choices were very good, we ordered a steak salad, lobster bisque, a burger and fish tacos. The only issue we had were the fish tacos were very low on shrimp whereas the third taco had one shrimp in it. But the positives were that the view was great, our server was friendly and it is a good place to drink and dance the night away to the bands they have each night. read more

Windjammer Surf Bar - Outdoor area - Sports Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

I have to say we did have a great time despite the not great weather. All of the food came out so quick! There's a ton of seating inside and outside. There's access right to the beach, outdoor and indoor bar. There's cute games for adults and kids to play. There was live music. Some of the food was a little too doughy and that's the only reason we aren't giving 5 stars. The food otherwise was great and had a great crunch & flavor. Bartenders were super friendly that we had. There's a huge food and drink menu. We do wish it was a nicer day to make time for the beach. Otherwise a great Stop if you are in the area! read more

Menu got smaller, prices got higher and quality went down a bit since last year. Fish taco that I used to love are now a little fried fish finger in a limp tortilla with lettuce and salsa. Used to be nice pan fried fish with cabbage in a taco tortilla instead of a sandwich wrap. The chowder changed and had less in it. Saving grace was the clam fritters. Thanks for keeping that the same. read more

This place is right on the beach. It has outdoor seating where you can enjoy the fresh ocean air and watch the waves. It also has a huge inside area. Right when you enter they have a bowl for dog treats. Yes, they allow dogs inside and outside innthis restaurant and they even serve dog beer (bone broth)! How cool is that?! The menu is full of choices and they are delicious! They also have a variety of Cocktails and beers. They have shows and live music sometimes as well. They have some cute decorations around to make it trendy. The last thing but definitely not least is that the service is excellent! The staff is so friendly and actually seem like they love being there! read more

Windjammer Surf Bar - Mahi mahi tacos, calamari, and fish and chips - Sports Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Our server was great, it did take her a while to get to us however we understand she was busy with other tables. We did not have any menu handed to us and then when I asked if we could get some While we waited on our server they brought over a flyer with a QR code to scan We had to pass phone around as the code did not work on some phones. We finall ordered drinks and food. We were seated inside at some very shaky clearly unstable tables and metal bar style chairs with no back support. We did eventually pull off getting moved outside in much better seats. when the food came out one meal was missing, by the time it came out all the other people in our party were done eating so I asked for a lid to take it to go. There was no offer to discount the late meal in anyway to make up for the extremely long wait. We get home and then realize that the burger in the box was simply a plan burger with no cheese when we ordered a whisky burger. lucky for me I keep cheese at home. Again our server was very attentive and nice but absolutely everything thing else about our experience was not pleasant. The one thing I absolutely did not care for the most was those crappy tables and no paper menu!! DO BETTER AND MAYBE ILL COME BACK! read more

Windjammer Surf Bar - Windjammer oceanfront patio - Sports Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

What a fun place! This Bar has everything you'll need for a great time. It's located directly on the Atlantic Ocean with plenty of a variety of seating options all with ocean views. There's palm trees, outdoor games, cosy inside seating, 3 bars and a stage for the busy music schedule. The service is consistently friendly, plentiful and efficient. The food is delicious upscale Beach Bar and the drinks are holiday fun. Plenty of free convenient parking for patrons. What makes this establishment so special to me, is the building's history. Check out the wood floor, then imagine 1911- 1980's this place was full of roller skaters. Yes, I remember the sounds of the sea, the skates but I now prefer the sounds of the sea and the smell of my delicious smash-burger!! If you love the ocean any season is the perfect reason to visit. read more

Windjammer Surf Bar - Mushroom-Swiss Smash Burger with the best Tater-Tots! - Sports Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

This place was fantastic. We traveled down to see the band "Bulletproof" play the other night. 7 of us went down to see them. Everyone enjoyed the food. But one of the people needed a few more minutes to look at the menu because he's old and confused and when the waitress came back he tried to order and she said they were not taking anymore food orders. However other tables were still ordering and getting food almost an hour after. So that was a wee bit bizarre. They have good sound in there and good dancing. Vibes were immaculate and it's a really cool place. I will be back! read more

They got the good Pepperoni! Ok that's not the first or probably the 8th thing someone would say about Windjammer but I just love the good pepperoni. Here's the bottom line about windjammer: Will not be the best food but it's reasonably priced and a great location. It's large. The inside area is split between a a very large bar area and a dining hall. Immediately you are hit with a dirty beer smell. Listen- it's a beach bar. It's RI's own little Margaritaville in a way . People just stepped off the beach, enjoying too many drinks and sandy feet are the norm. Music playing. There is a back patio that sprawls the whole length of the building. Patio tables with umbrellas and then relaxing patio furniture for those who just want to drink and take in the view. We sat all the way toward the end of the building on the right and there were stairs that lead us right to the beach. This was clutch for us. We ordered our dinner and the kids went and changed in the bathroom then went out to play in the water. They easily came back for their food (dripping wet and nobody cared) and returned to the water. I then got my youngest changed, paid the bill and my husband moved to the relax patio area with our belongings as I went to the water to watch all three kids just have a blast nighttime swimming! It turned out to be great. My pina colada was delicious! Came with whipped cream as well. (Bonus points!) My fish and chips were a little over done- like charred a little (they tried covering it up with the placement of the fries.) NO TARTAR SAUCE! Thats a fail. The coleslaw was a little too sugary but I liked the general flavor. The flatbread pizza wasn't great but the pepperoni's were crispy and I love that. Overall- our family will return. Great place for adults and kids to both get wins. read more

I really enjoyed the meal I had here a few weeks back. I've been dreaming of their tater tot special with the cheese and scallions I think? Whatever it was, it was amazing. I've been dreaming of that dish. I also had the chicken salad sandwich and it was pretty good. Wasn't a huge fan of the bread but it's okay because I just read the wrong one and thought it was a different bread, so that's my one mistake, lol! I had a drink and it was very strong and a little pricey but still good! I don't remember what it was called but it had rum in it. I understand the pricey drinks because it's in Westerly and drinks are expensive these days. The service was pretty good. They were busy so the waitress didn't check on us too too much but it's because she was busy. So I understood completely . Will definitely be back! The place was clean and pretty big. The bathroom was clean and the tables were a decent size. read more

The service and food was great, but jeeze, get a cleaning crew in there at night after closing, the place is filthy, including the bathrooms. read more

An absolute beautiful venue during the summer days, right on the ocean. They have an outside bar and an outside patio with steps leading down to the beach, they have an inside bar that can hold a lot of people and they have a lot of great refreshments, both on tap and in cans, they do not serve beer in bottles, they have a great stage for music on Fridays and Saturdays night, they have a DJ station outside for the patio, and the food is very good and they have a great seafood menu as well as land options, it's worth the trip read more

Good ambience with live music. Did not enjoy the steak frites. The chimichurri sauce was oil with heaps of dried herbs (so much so that it was caught in the back of my husband throat and he coughed for the next two hours). The wings and other dishes brought out to other patrons did look good. Service was as expected and view was nice. But 60 dollars for two steaks that repeated on me through the night was overall what you would expect from a beachside restaurant. read more

Fun and very good beach grub.Great views nice crowds good atmosphere.Live music many nights and all summer long.

Service was HORRIBLE. There was over an hour wait for a table but the hostess said to just order from the bar and find seating outside so that's what we did. All 5 of us ordered, however it took 40 minutes to order our food and drinks because the bartender kept taking other drink and food orders. This normally wouldn't be a problem but because she took all of our orders at least 10 minutes apart, all of my friends food came out at different times and we had to stay at the bar to wait for our food but there was no seating! So half of my group went outside once the first person got their food and the other half stayed inside, delivering our friends food when it came out, however, it all came out in 20 minute increments so the first person to get food in my group ate theirs because it was getting cold and everyone else in my group just took turns going outside and eating separately. How horrible is that!! I wanted us all to eat together at a TABLE, not standing at a rock wall and eating individually because our meals came out 20 minutes apart. Also, when I asked where my food was because I was waiting for almost an hour for TACOS, she was insanely rude to me and talked down on me because the kitchen was busy. As a paying customer, this was insanely disrespectful because I don't think it's unfair to question where my food is if I've been waiting for almost an hour and all of my friends have gotten there's. Once I finally got my food, it tasted good, but the portion was so small and it just looked like it was thrown on the plate. There were 2 small pieces of mahi per taco and barely any mango salsa. It also came with tortilla chips but there weren't very many and they were all broken like it was the bottom of the bag. For $21, I was very disappointed and I was very upset that my friends and I couldn't sit and eat together. If we waited for everyone to get their food, everyone's food would have been cold and stale and we would have been there for well over 2 hours. This place has really gone downhill and I won't be returning until they swap out new staff. read more

The food is surprisingly good for a bar, and reasonably priced. The fish and chips is outstanding, as is the lobster grilled cheese. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the deck is on the beach overlooking the beach. What's not to like? read more

Decided to check Out Windjammers as we were near by and leaving the beach. We didn't have to wait in line but we were told we were not going to be able to get seating outdoors since it was all reserved. " no Problem "! We were ok sitting inside. Our waitress, was nice and greater us at first, asked for our orders but then...she came back and mentioned GF bread was no Longer available because they had run out. Bummer!! I was set on a crab and lobster sandwich I really wanted. Instead I order street tacos, mahi kind. Food didn't take long to Come out but the service was a different story. We waited 40 min for a pitcher of water, and 40 Min for ketchup. For ketchup we had to get up and get our own from another table. Not too happy about that. Going back to the food.. my street tacos were just ok. Everything had a kick to it, somewhat spicy and since I don't like spicy I didn't enjoy it. Service definitely could have been better.. the place was really nice with a lovely view to the ocean.. I'm Honestly not sure if I'd be back.. read more

Do not come in the Summer. We've been here for 2 hours and still haven't received our food. Server has told us "it's coming" twice. A lot of walkouts so I assume that's why she's saying that. She's sweet but not honest. She did say the kitchen is short staffed once we asked 1-1/2 hours in. Obviously that wasn't explained in advance. Probably should have known given there were open tables but it still took 20 minutes to be seated. That said, i guess we're the schmucks since we're still waiting. Just don't think there is another option close by that will get our food to us quicker at this point? Update: we received our food 2.25 hours after arrival. Not even kidding: it's almost all COLD! Omgoodness. read more

Great drinks snd the lobster poutine was amazing. The poutine is fries smothered in lobster bisque then topped with lobster chunks and cheese curd. Really superb. I took a picture but we ate the big lobster pieces before we remembered to snap a pic. Sorry folks. Hubby ordered the lobster roll warm and he really liked it. He liked it so much that he forgot to save me a decent bite. I basically got bread and a teeny bite of lobster. Lol. I got the mahi tacos. Honestly they were ok. The mahi was excellently flavored but only two pieces per taco so I was not completely impressed. The bourbon smash was AMAZING! So good I'm going to try and recreate at home. As far as atmosphere- really fun vibe. We went on a Saturday afternoon and they had a DJ playing great music from the 70s and 80S. Everyone singing along and dancing and I had a great time. We sat outside and the sun was out and the ocean was beautiful! read more

Windjammer Surf Bar - Jungle bird cocktail was delightful! - Sports Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Each summer we have been to this beachfront restaurant and some years are better than others. On a positive note the location and view are excellent. They often have live music beginning at lunchtime and it often continues through dinner. Today we had a reservation and were taken to a high top table without an umbrella. We asked politely for a table with an umbrella but we told non was available. When we got to our table there was an available table with an umbrella, so we inquired about it. The young woman seating us told us she could not seat us there because the table numbers were messed up and she just couldn't do it. Inevitably 5 minutes later, two people sat at that same table. Annoying. Next, our waitress appeared disinterested in her job. She took our order but didn't ask about our side choices. She just brought the default fries. She also didn't make the slight adjustment to a request for cheddar instead of Swiss cheese. Once our food arrived, we never saw her to get some more water or even to check in on us. The food did taste good thankfully. Lastly, the bathrooms were absolutely filthy and smelly. You could actually smell urine from the entrance just inside the door. Seems like they are ready for the season to end because we surely will not be back. read more

Great place to eat and have a drink after a day at the beach. Very convenient. Sometimes the service is a little slow especially if you're sitting on chairs by the edge- it's hard to get a server's attention read more

If only zero stars were possible. My kids and nephews went there last weekend while we were b on vacation. Looking forward to a fun night and after my 24 yr old daughter's license was confiscated bc the moronic bouncer claimed it was fake, police were called and verified its authenticity. They still refused to serve them! After 50 years of vacationing in Misquamicut, we will NEVER return to the Windjammer. read more

Sat at the bar, July 16th, 6 pm, for over 20 minutes while staff either stood at the front of the bar, or just walked right by. A couple, much younger than us, sat right next to us and the bar staff couldn't get to them fast enough. If you are a senior citizen Windjammers isn't interested in you or your money. Head to ANDREAS if you want good service and awesome food! read more

A bit disappointed on our recent visit - The place was humming with business and they really couldn't keep up - understandable. So we ordered takeout to sit on the sea wall - fine by us! However, when we opened our food containers, they were so skimpy on the portions compared to the plates we saw being served to the "dining in" guests, we were like "what are we? chopped liver?" This after giving a 10 dollar tip for the takeout order. We'll skip the jammer next time round read more

We allways have a great time here. The food is good an the staff are great. Will always come back.

Awesome atmosphere, great vibes and beautiful views! Can't wait to get back there this summer.

Perfect place to get together with friends for drinks on the ocean. They offer indoor table seating, high top bar seating, outdoor table seating, outdoor bar seating, banquet hall seating for inclement weather I did not order food this time but I did have plenty of drinks at both the inside bar and the outside bar. Both bar tenders had great personalities and were quick with a refill. A staple on the area for good music, good drinks and good times. read more

I visited last Friday and caught a great band. In general the Windjammer is a super place to catch live music on the beach. They book great bands, and the bartenders deserve 5 stars. I would not try to check out a band if you are with a larger party or want to stay more than and hour or two. The management and security here are in the 1 star rating department. I was in here with a group of friends sitting at a couple of tables, spending a bunch on drinks and food and they hassled us and would not let us watch our friends in the band at the same tables. They insisted we move for reservations, yet there were open tables all around. The management was very thoughtless and easily could have accommodated everyone and all objectives. It is a shame as the Windjammer is in a sweet location and obviously can get other things right. read more
