Baked stuffed shrimp with a baked potato! Yummmm.
Shawn W.

Ok...why isn't this place five stars? It's a really big, old school restaurant with classic dishes and a huge bar! This should be a go to place for drinks locally. Love the wooden bar and the comfy bar seats. I got a salad with my baked stuffed shrimp (classic recipe done perfectly)! They were super friendly at the bar and made me feel comfortable (I'm from Boston). So, I say let's review the hell out of this place and get them the five stars they deserve. Great food, nice service, and a price you can't find anywhere else. Come try it!

Stuffed Mushrooms
Lucy C.

I have mixed reviews on this place. I had the sausage ravioli and I loved it. 1 friend had chicken gorgonzola she also enjoyed. 2nd friend had turkey dinner she only consumed Spinach off her plate did not like at all. 3rd friend had chicken stir fry said was ok but sauce was too sweet. The Drinks were top notch. The stuffed mushrooms were good but could have used a little seasoning. The service was great. The vibe is old school.

Buffalo

RI Food Fight- Lord of the Pies 2024 review: I remember liking Cowesett Inn years ago. But it's been years... 1. Cute little market inside but here is the odd thing- they are selling 3 different types of wing sauces in the market but they only have buffalo on the menu! Also, the one sauce I picked up expires in 3 weeks! (She sold it to me for half off!) 2. The wings were cooked well done as requested and were tasty. The blue cheese isn't the best but it also isn't the worst! 3. The pizza. It was gross. It wasn't hot (and we had just ordered it- we weren't late.) The cheese was all stuck together like left out for a very long time. The sauce was chunky. I didn't finish my slice.

Tiramisu martini
Jenny C.

I'm going to go five star because I think the negative reviews need to be balanced out. In terms of first impressions, it did sort of remind me of Gregg's with better lighting - some historical touches, fireplaces, a lot of wood paneling, very 70s vibe. The menu had pretty much anything you could want, from burgers to pizza to chicken parm to "heart healthy" options to steak. Usually when I see a menu that extensive, the quality of the food is...well, chain quality. Fine but eh. In my experience, however, everything we had was incredibly delicious and homemade. Some highlights: Tiramisu martini - one of 10 martini options, this was is truly desert in a glass. Made with rumchata. Absolutely loved it, and it's a hefty portion. Pierogi - these are made from scratch by Polish women who visit the restaurant a few times a week. They are hand pressed, totally made with love. Hands down the best pierogi I've ever had. Sausage ravioli - I think my hopes were pretty average for how it would taste, and I was surprised. It was REALLY good, as good as any place on federal hill. My friend ordered the ribeye and she said it was perfectly cooked. The sides they offer were very generously portioned. Dessert - I've never had grapenut pudding before, and I was told it's a RI right of passage, so we ordered it. It was okay...I don't really have a reference point. But the cheesecake! One of the best cheesecakes I've had in a while. It came with strawberry topping and honestly, it would have been better without. So velvety and decadent. Also, if you're looking for a space to host a part of 10-20, there's not a lot of good options in my opinion. This place can totally accommodate larger parties. Our server did an amazing job, too. Personable and helpful with great suggestions. I'd recommend it!

Chicken Parm sandwich

The service staff was very polite, friendly and talkative. The food was great. The kids wanted Mac and cheese and it was really delicious. They ate it all up and it wasn't blue box! Appetizer was excellent. I myself had the ranchero burger medium rare(which they cooked perfectly). The atmosphere was dim, cozy and not to loud like most restaurants. Will definitely be coming back to try other offerings. Oh yeah! Try the New Old Fashioned cocktail.

I haven't been here in YEARS and probably came for a party or something back then. Anyway, we returned to use our Food Fights deal and nosh on some burgers. We started with calamari and a spicy stuffie. Both were good although I'm still in search of *really* good calamari that I haven't found yet. I had the Ranchero Burger which was a high noon showdown of flavors on a pillowy bun. The ranchero sauce was a spicy, tangy marvel that tied the whole burger together with just the right amount of kick. The jalapeño peppers bring a little fiery burst of flavor that'll make you sit up and take notice. They're spicy enough to keep things interesting without overpowering the burger, striking a perfect balance between heat and flavor. I may not return for several more years so I hope the Cowesett Inn is still around when I do.

NY Sirloin A la Mama

I went in and sat at the bar for a treat myself dinner. I wanted to have leftovers but the food was so good I couldn't stop eating. I got the steak a La mama - and the steak was excellent - but the best part was the spinach. I devoured it. Katie - my server - was a great bartender. She got my drinks so fast and with such a fun vibe and attitude; she made some mixed up drink on the spot and it was so tastyyyy. I honestly ran in while I waited for my son to get out of a movie and didn't know if I'd be rushed - but they were so quick I had so much time. I am looking forward to the leftover bit of steak I still have. Definitely will go again - and hope I can catch Katie again! I like that she seemed to know her regulars well - makes you want to be one!

Grilled Pepperoni Pizza

Came here for #rifoodfights #bestpizza. Pizza was good. Flatbread crust. Service was decent for not being busy. Place is good, reason it has been here for long time.

Calamari
Niki N.

My favorite spot here in Rhode Island! Been coming here for years as we have family who lives in Coventry. The best baked stuffed jumbo shrimp all over town! Great layout here with lots of space for big parties and special events! Staff is very sweet and all are wearing masks. The area by the windows has great natural lighting, great views! We ordered the calamari, baked stuffed shrimp, and a Caesar Salad. The calamari had an amazing flavor and great spice to it. Also comes with hot peppers throughout the dish, so good! We always come here for the baked stuffed jumbo shrimp, and every time we are not disappointed! Love how flavorful these are. This dish in general can sometimes get very buttery and heavy, but never this dish when we order it. Light and holds up well! Butter on the side for dipping if you want that rich buttery flavor (honestly doesn't need it though!) Always my request to dine here whenever I am in town and looking forward to my next visit!

Get the perigees! They are hand made and never misses the mark. The restaurant is a little dark inside, and the food is decent.

The egg white breakfast sandwich is actually amazing. It is a filling sandwich to say the least…read more Walked from the Marina so I wasn't really in the mood for coffee so I went with a blended mocha thingy and whatever hazelnut stuff they put in this is fantastic. The barista is extremely easy on the eyes as well. Great visit.

Stopped by Cafe Tempo the other morning for a quick breakfast on the go…read more Grabbed a simple egg & cheese on a toasted whole wheat English muffin, atleast I thought so? They ended up giving my a egg & cheese on A bagel but it was still very good! They don't use a cheap microwaved egg like some places do either. (The croissant is also a good option!) But let's be real here... that's not why I wait 7 cars deep most early mornings in a drive thru line... The cinnamon rolls are the reason. These things just hit every time man. They arnt really anything over the top like a thick cinnamon bun out of your oven or anything like that. They are your simple cinnamon roll with icing on it not frosting but they are just so delicious - easily the standout. (Sometimes they run out!) They're mostly known for their coffee, and you can tell. They have a hoping business and everyone usually leaves with a coffee amongst other options like their bagels or baked goods. Inside is pretty small with very little seating so not the best place to get any work done or hangout. Overall, they are a very busy place and most people put an online order in to beat the crowd. The drive thru service is pretty quick for being busy and also very friendly. If you're going, don't overthink it - get the cinnamon roll.
