Italian sub with fries
Karla M.

My friend and I went hiking nearby and worked up an appetite. We were initially going to Wendy's but got lost along the way and eventually ended up at cornerstone pub. We were both in the mood for a sandwich, something casual and not too big. We agreed on the Italian sub, toasted, with mayonnaise (in addition to the vinegar and oil). While we waited for our order, we were invited to sit at the bar. The bartender was kind to offer us some water which we accepted. After about 10 minutes, the food was ready. For about $15, we got a sandwich that was about a foot long, cut in half, with some fries. I regret not asking for a dipping sauce for the fries. They were hot, crispy, and delicious on their own but ranch would've made them better. The sandwich was good. It had a good amount of meat, but it did come with a lot of banana peppers which might have been a bit overpowering. The toppings were fresh, and the cheese was perfectly melted. Between customer service and quality of food, I was very satisfied. They do have a big parking lot, and are very close to stepping falls for a good hike if you're up for it.

Cheers to finding Heady at The Cornerstone Pub

Expansive beer menu, full bar, and great menu. The Caesar salad is really good, not too heavily dressed. This can be tough to get into on the weekend, but it's worth a wait. Audrey is the kindest server, they're lucky to have her.

We have passed this place many times on getting to I95S headed to NYC. Often see many parked cars there. A neighbor recommended it as "the best burger in RI." As we were in the area for a volunteer event, we dropped in for lunch (this would not be a typical "let's go for a burger at Cornerstone Pub" as it is a 45-minute drive). Well, he could be right. Clearly one of the best burgers I have had in years. I had the classic cheeseburger "well done." Why it works is the potato bun that stays intact throughout your meal and that the ingredients (tomato, onion, etc.) are the right size. A very tasty burger. A choice of sides. Nice décor and great service. A HUGE selection of beers and cider on tap. Damages for 2 with beers was $60.

I was in this general area and did a yelp search and cornerstone pub had a high rating and the food photos looked good so we decided to visit As you walk in there is a very Large bar with plenty of seats and large TV's. Vanessa was our server My guest ordered a Pastrami Reuben with french fries, they said it was just OK $14 I ordered a Cobb salad and added grilled chicken,, salad was good $15 +$6 I got the feeling that this is a very popular place and everybody who visits comes back, There is plenty of seating inside and a large parking lot Worth visiting again

Vanilla Chai Martini and Dirty Martini
Kerri L.

Although this restaurant is located in a remote area, it's always busy and has a lively vibe. We prefer to sit at the enormous wraparound bar, and we rarely have to wait for a seat. The food quality is consistently good. They now offer a plethora of gluten free options as well. Worth the stop if you're in the area. It's located a mile or two off of 95 which makes it pretty convenient for people passing through the area.

Asian salad with edamame, ahi tuna and sesame ginger dressing
Karen P.

Nice spot, great food. A little loud but it is a pub. Lots of tvs, good atmosphere, ahi tuna salad was a very good price

Worst cheese steak of my life.
Adam A.

Ordered a large cheese steak with extra cheese. Got a half filled grinder roll that was a medium at best. I like salt on my food but this tasted like a salt lick. Instead of extra cheese I got one slice of cheese draped over the top of dry and burnt shaved steak. Instead of $15 for this I could've spent half that for a cheese steak from Subway, and next time I will. I've seen enough.

With a friend's band on their entertainment schedule, I found the perfect opportunity to try it out. I was looking forward to both the music and the food and while the music was amazing, my overall experience didn't quite live up to expectations. Pro: - My friends and I were able to reserve a table ahead of time, which helped secure space to enjoy the show. We had an up close and personal view, and it definitely made for an immersive experience. Cons: - The space is way too small for live bands. The band was squeezed into a corner, and the closest table was practically on top of the lead singer. The small space in front of the band may have been meant for dancing, but it blocked the path to the bathrooms and food service. It felt cramped, loud, and uncomfortable. - The pub-height tables had tall chairs that were wobbly and unstable. I'm not a big person, but even I felt like I might tip over sitting there. Plus, the layout was so tight that we all had to get up every time someone wanted to wiggle their way to the bar or the bathroom. - Our waitress disappeared for long stretches of time, and service was painfully slow. We ended up having to go up to the bar for refills between courses because no one was around to help. - The food was disappointing. I ordered the house-made tavern chips (which look like potato chips on the website) but got plain tortilla chips instead. I also had two hot weiners, and while they had all the right toppings, the flavor was all wrong. The meat sauce tasted burnt, and they were completely overloaded with celery salt. It was honestly the worst I've ever had. Others at the table felt underwhelmed with their selections as well - the quesadilla was soggy and the appetizer sampler was just okay. - The bathroom locks were unreliable. The lock on the door failed halfway through my visit, and it took several attempts to get the button to work again, which made for a pretty awkward experience. Given this visit, I'm unlikely to return. If I do, it'd have to be for a great band, and I'll definitely eat somewhere else beforehand.

Hands down...delicious! I had the special with scallops,…read moreangel hair and capers. The scallops were cooked to perfection. And the sauce was lemony and salty. My side was the Caesar salad. Just the right amount of salt and pepper! Delicious. My hubby got the chicken and waffles. That gravy, oh my goodness! Bomb. Atmosphere is eclectic but fun. Service is TOP TIER!!!! The he place was packed and I see why. Also, I have an allergy to cinnamon. Going anywhere in October, I can be subjected to cinnamon. Our server, Melanie...amazing (ask for her), she made sure to tell the chef about my allergy. Wanted to order a dessert, but she asked the chef and he advised I could not due to possibility of having cinnamon. Very gracious server and chef!

We had reservations for 6PM but arrived shortly after 5PM. They were gracious enough to accommodate us immediately. Our server was friendly & attentive but very inexperienced. My friend ordered Salmon Piccata & she had no idea what that was... she thought it was served with scallops & pasta! We had to explain that Piccata was a sauce with capers; again, she didn't know what capers were. Fortunately, the kitchen understood the order & my friend received the correct dish. Unfortunately, the ends of the salmon were dry & inedible. However, she did enjoy most of the fish & the sides (mashed & veg), and there was enough to bring home. She also had a cider cocktail which, with the sugared rim, was a little too sweet. She would have liked a bit more cider, too. I had the patty melt with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was large & very good. I'm not a huge fan of thick-cut sweet potato fries; if I had known I probably would have opted for another side, as there's a $3 upcharge. The pickle was fantastic! I also had a glass of J. Lohr Cab, which was a good sized pour for $11. Prices were reasonable. Parking is always an issue in Newport. There is metered street parking & paid lots. Beware, parking is diligently monitored & tickets are $60!

It's not easy being a woman and being by yourself but Erin the bartender made me feel welcome right away. My battery almost died and she went above and beyond by lending me her personal charger. I was grateful due to the fact that my phone was dying. She handled the bar with ease. Most people seemed to know each other and were very pleasant. I saw a couple pool tables to the side. Keno was playing but I'm not sure what else they offered. TV's were on playing sports and the enthusiast were really enjoying the game. I had already eaten so I can't tell you about the food but from what I saw it looked delicious If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stop in and hopefully it's Erin's shift.

Great Dive Bar - Delicious Food…read more Ryans is old dive bar pub with dated decor (which is a good thing) and plenty of food and drink deals. The food at this pub is spot on. I love their kickin chickin. its a great value and you can choose the sauce and trust me, i've tried all of them and they are all fantastic. also, the lobster roles and fried seafood are of the quality you would see at a seafood restaurant but without the high cost. Definitely check this place out if you are in Groton area. Thanks

They have a great menu with pub style apps, burgers, and delicious entrees, a comfortable atmosphere, live music on the weekends, and just an over all great vibe. On my first visit, my friend and I both ordered the prime rib, which is a special on Saturday nights. The meat was tender, flovorful, and the portion size was great. It was served with a baked potato (with lots of butter and sour cream), and roasted green beans - all were delicious! Service was perfect - we never had to wait long for anything. Our server was friendly, prompt, and we couldn;t have asked for anything more. My second visit was with my husband and our two daughters. My daughters split the fish and chips and they said it was really good. My husband got chicken and waffles, and I got the prime rib again. Once again, the service was perfect, and the prime rib dinner was outstanding. My daughters went home after dinner, but my husband and I moved over to the bar as we wanted to stay for the live music. The band was called Rash Cat and we really enjoyed their performance. They were super talented and had great classic song choices, and the music was loud enough to provide a fun atmosphere, but also quiet enough that you could still carry on a conversation. I'd definitely go back to see them again. I'd like to come back again to try more of the menu items and to enjoy the outdoor patio & fire pit. What a great RI tavern for all seasons!

True Score: 3.75 Stars…read more Nice local spot, cold beer and little BBQ Great place for lunch/dinner in a relaxing low-key tavern. Sit at the bar, tables, booths or sit outside.
