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 Shanty is one of those places I don't go to nearly enough and I really need to change that…read more I was specifically craving hand-cut fries and theirs did NOT disappoint. I got the Big Ol' Burger and it was so good. Cooked perfectly, the special sauce was delicious and as you can probably tell from the photo, the fries were exactly what I was looking for. Everything tastes really fresh here. It has that farm-to-table quality, but in a relaxed, laid-back (but still really pretty) setting. We came for lunch and I loved that they had brunch options too. We didn't get any adult beverages but I was very tempted by the entire drink menu, so next time! Our service was also outstanding. Really everything was A+. Definitely a local spot that I need to remember to go to more often.

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.

I never write reviews, even bad ones, but tonight's experience left me pretty stunned. I called at…read morearound 6pm and asked for the first available reservation for 4 people. The response was we only take reservations for parties of 6 or more. Fair enough. I said I'd like to drive up and pit my name in for the next available table for 4. We arrived around 6:30 and I put in my name. I was told it would be 30-45 minutes. No problem. I ordered drinks at the bar and sat outside enjoying the night. At 7:20 I went back and side and saw two 4 tops open and asked the waitress if either of those were for us. Her response "We can't sit 4 people at those tables only." Found that odd seeing as the other 4 tops had 4 people sitting there. She said she was waiting for the table in the back to finish and we could have that one. I said ok and ordered more drinks and went back outside. At around 8:15 a couple came strolling by us and asked what the wait was like. I said we had been waiting for an hour and a half, but they could go check if the bar had seats. 15 minutes after they went in I went in and saw them seated at one of the 4 tops that was open earlier. I asked the waitress why she would sit 2 people that just walked in at a table that fits 4 people that have been waiting for close to 2 hours. Her response "They had reservations." First off that's a total lie as I just spoke to them before they went in. Second, you said you don't take reservations for parties of less than 6 people!! To make matters worse, 2 other staff that my brother in law and I spoke to about the situation all gave differing stories about reservations. Again, you told me on the phone no reservations for parties under 6 people. And to top it off, no apologies, no offer to fix it, no offer of apps or dessert or anything. Not looking for freebies, but literally no remorse. All they did was hide in the back and try to ignore us until the bartender helped us. We have been here many times, always good food, service is good, but the host station is always chaotic. This time took the cake. Will not be back for a while.

They even let the flower company come in before I got there and set up all of the flower displays and bouquets for my birthday, which made everything feel so special. The staff was absolutely amazing, respectful, and so accommodating. They really will do anything they can within reason to make sure you have a great experience. The menu definitely has more of a Mediterranean feel, which personally isn't my favorite type of food, but they were still super accommodating to what I wanted and needed. And the drinks are STRONG definitely not stingy with those! Between the atmosphere, the staff, and how accommodating they were for my birthday, I would absolutely go back. Such a cool place for a special occasion!

Bartender seating people had a terrible attitude. Talked to patrons like they were children. Ordered a lemon meringue martini. Thought it tasted an awful lot like pineapple. Bartender asked me if it was "ok". I just said yes because I didn't feel like complaining. Afterwards, I heard her telling somebody at the bar that she forgot to put lemon in it. She forgot to put lemon in the lemon meringue martini. Must be why it tasted like pineapple. We ordered stuffy's, which took forever to come out as we watch everybody else that came after us get their appetizers. Probably waited a half hour to even put our order and we had to repeatedly ask staff for everything because nobody would come over to the table. I got fish and chips. My husband got a veal Parm sandwich. The food was good, but the tartar sauce tasted oddly like nutmeg or cinnamon. Sat waited and waited and waited. Finally asked for our bill only to get someone else's bill and have to go back up to ask for our bill. I guess the locals must like this place but we did not... definitely a one and done for us.
