    AJ's an absolutely great breakfast place, there is usually a line waiting to get in but we got lucky today. We were greeted and seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place feels like one of those places you would go to when you were younger local, friendly with your regulars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices are very reasonable. The service is A+ the food was served fast and hot, everything meet my expectations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a local Warwick diner, very laid back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will say they are a cash only but do have an atm machine. I can understand why this diner is always bustling. Don't forget to grab a muffin or cookie made fresh daily

    Portuguese Mixed Berry French Toast

    Another great breakfast at AJ's. Service was great as usual. This place runs like a well oiled machine, with everyone working together. I went for the special of Cannoli waffle. It was a bit sweet, but so delicious! You don't even need the side of warm syrup served with it. Can't go wrong here!

    Bacon, eggs, home fries, and half a griddled muffin (I think this was raspberry walnut)
    Nikki N.

    Oh. Em. Gee. Griddled muffins! I dream of these! My in-laws live in Rhode Island so when we visit, AJs is always on the agenda for breakfast! The food is delicious but those muffins!! And my husband enjoyed his English muffin done on the griddle as well!!

    Be prepared to wait to be seated at this very popular breakfast spot. Also bring cash! The choices for everything seem endless. There were 6 of us plus a toddler. Everyone but the 11 year old ate well, he is a notoriously poor eater. He did take his French toast with blueberries home but was unhappy that the blueberries touched the butter. I was so happy with lovely large cinnamon bun, sliced, grilled and served with butter. The fruit cup for the toddler was beautiful. The service was excellent.

    Omg this place is amazing! We went two days in a row for breakfast and loved it both times!! They also have so many iced coffee flavors to choose from! I hope to be back here again some day! Cash only diner, but has atm. No complaints here!

    Delicious crepes

    I have been coming here since I was a little girl. This was my grandmother's absolute favorite place to grab breakfast. I continue this tradition by taking my own kids here. The food is consistently cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The friendly servers have become familiar faces. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place has an old school, no frills diner vibe to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Decent prices, delicious food, and good size portions make this restaurant a "go-to" spot for brunch.

    Cinnamon roll French toast

    Had a good breakfast there a few months ago. Service was good. It was very busy but it moved quickly. Solid meal and reasonable prices. I would have loved some turkey bacon or chicken sausage but had a good veggie omelet.

    Three scrambled eggs, home fries, and white toast
    Carlos B.

    Awesome food I love it It's just bad that they say they take cards but when you go to use it, they tell you there's a ATM. I don't understand that part.

    French Toast, Two Eggs and Sausage, Iced Coffee
    Jariah G.

    I'm always in the area, have driven by and seen how busy it always is and now I know why. Super upbeat and sweet staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cozy space, but also bigger than expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Breakfast classics done well, a long list of coffee flavors, and it's so cheap. I'll definitely be back.

    Scrambled omelet
    Alan B.

    In the area and Yelped for a good place for breakfast. Thank you Yelp and all the previous reviewers. Fabulous. There was a line but as others said it moved fast. The person seating us planned to take us into the back but she saw us eyeing a table being cleared in the window and offered it to us. That level of awareness is unusual in a busy place. A seemingly endless offering of iced coffees. We had chocolate cappuccino. I'm not much for flavored coffee but had to try it. It was good. Wife had the scrambled omelet with ham, cheese and spinach and loved it. Took half home. I had eggs over easy with bacon and home fries. Maybe the best breakfast potatoes ever. Servers were very nice, helpful and efficient. Every employee does everything making the service super smooth and fast. This place rocks!

    In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

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!

    Gel's is a great little neighborhood restaurant. They are located at the end of a strip mall, right…read morenear the road at the 'entrance/exit'. Parking is shared with several other businesses. There is no 'handicapped parking' specifically for Gel's due to the way the parking lot is designed. There is a small vestibule between the outside and the inside where you will find a community food pantry. Take something if you need it, or leave something for your neighbors. This is such a lovely offering and very much in line with Gel's local community mind set. The doors into the vestibule are heavy glass and metal. Seat yourself in one of the booths. When they remodeled they added a small bar to the back area if you prefer counter seating. They offer a variety of mimosa flavors at breakfast and beer and wine at lunch. Although I suppose if you want a beer with your eggs, have at it. The front and side walls have large windows making the interior bright. They offer so many specials. Check out all the white boards on the back wall above the counter seating. These are in addition to their standard menu. Breakfast items include egg based meals (eggs & bacon & toast for ex.), pancakes, hash and lots of al la carte sides. Coffee is good and comes with free refills. The lunch menu includes sandwiches, salads, soups, wraps and they have a kids menu too. They also offer Kino if you like. They sell Gel's merch (holiday gifts?) and decorate for all the holidays.

My fiancé and I ordered the Dominican breakfast, its eggs over medium, fried cheese, fried salami, mashed plantains with onions. Now I'm Hispanic and I love me a good Dominican breakfast but this was one of the best I've had ever! And trust me I've had many! Firstly the salami and cheese pieces were nice and big, I'm used to people being cheap and making them very small. Also we did pick up- so we were there a few waiting as it was made fresh, which I appreciate! The server I wish I would've got her name had us have a seat at the bar and got us water while we waited. She was such an aunty vibe and I loved it. I was observing others who were sitting down eating and their food looked so yummy! They were also equally out loud expressing how much they enjoyed their food. Also the plates are all decked out and even the tables they gave off love vibes! This place while very small, packed a punch. Me and my fiancé are going to come back probably this weekend to sit down and enjoy a meal and I'm so excited. Give this place a go for sure. They have limited parking in the front on the street. But they have a good amount of parking in the back of the building. Trust me it's worth it.

    Second visit for RI Food Fights' Best Iced Coffee and I was so impressed by all the updates since…read morelast year! I walked in on autopilot and headed left to grab my coffee, only to realize the entire layout had changed. The new bar area is beautiful, inviting and such a great addition to the space. Coffee service has moved to the back and while I was checking out the prepackaged gluten-free muffins in the cooler, I was warmly greeted by the staff. I ordered the Iced Grasshopper with milk and it was delicious. Smooth, refreshing and the perfect summer coffee. Very minty. One of the employees noticed me looking around and took the time to explain all of the renovations, show me the new bar and point out their weekend dinner specials, which can also be ordered for takeout. That personal touch really stood out. If you're stopping in for coffee, don't miss the specials board. The dinner menu looked fantastic and I'll definitely be back to give it a try. It's great to see a local business continue to grow while keeping such friendly, welcoming service.

    Ten years is a long time to stay away from a corner table…read more I used to work just down the road from Wild Harvest. Back then, I was there often enough that it became part of my week. You ordered at the counter, found a table, and waited for your name to be called. No table service. No bar. Just good food in a place that felt comfortable the minute you walked in. I left that job ten years ago. Wild Harvest never left East Greenwich. My friend Frank wanted to take me to lunch for my birthday. I knew exactly where I wanted to go. Lauren greeted us at the door. She's been managing the restaurant for a few weeks. I wanted to see how much the place has changed. "Where would you like to sit?" "The corner." A minute later, I was sitting in the same corner where I'd eaten lunch more times than I could count years ago. Wild Harvest still has the log cabin bones that made it stand out when it first opened. Heavy timber walls. Exposed beams overhead. A taxidermy deer wearing red, white, and blue bunting like someone decorated it for the Fourth of July years ago and never got around to taking it down. It still feels warm. Comfortable. Like itself. The changes over the last ten years, though, are hard to miss. What used to be a counter-service café is now a full-service restaurant. There's a real bar. A chalkboard announces dinner from five to eight, seasonal menus that change every week, cocktails, and Friday night flights. The place has grown without losing what made people want to come here in the first place. They don't call it a chicken parm. On the menu it's simply "Parmesan," listed beside the hot meatball as though everyone already knows what it is. The ciabatta is baked in house every day, and it tastes like it. The crust was blistered and lightly floured, toasted enough to push back before giving way to a chewy interior. The provolone had gone beyond melted into something draped over the edge of the cutlet. Underneath, the breading stayed crisp despite a generous layer of sauce. That's usually the first thing a chicken parm gives up. Not this one. The chips deserve a mention, too. They're house-made, fresh-cut, still curled from the fryer, the kind that remind you potato chips are supposed to taste like potatoes. Frank ordered the Mediterranean wrap with Wild Harvest's homemade veggie burger, hummus, romaine, tomato, shredded carrot, cucumber, and tzatziki. His lunch looked responsible. Mine looked like someone having a birthday. Neither of us seemed interested in trading. Frank picked up the check. We thanked Lauren and headed for the door. Ten years is a long time to stay away from a corner table. It's even better when you find out it was worth coming back.
