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.

Kudos to the chef, keep on doing what you're doing. And of course I saw the table next to me with this delish apple cobbler and had to order. Lucky for me I always have room for a little sweet treat!

Sitting outside with a beautiful view of the lake made the experience even more enjoyable. I'm not typically a beer drinker, but I loved that they offered a variety of options, including ciders and cocktails.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely return again when the weather is nicer to enjoy the outdoor seating.

Apponaug Brewing Company has one thing going for it that a lot of breweries don't. LOCATION…read more The brewery sits right along the river, which makes for a great setting to sit back and enjoy a few beers. Especially on a nice day. It's definitely one of the better brewery locations in the area. Now let's talk about the beer. Is it good? Yes. Is it great? Not really. I've had several of their beers and while they're all pretty solid, nothing has really blown me away. My favorite is the Juggernaut Double NEIPA. That's my GO TO when I'm here and probably the beer I'd recommend trying first. Overall, Apponaug is worth checking out. The beers are decent, but the location is what really makes this place stand out. Would I go out of my way just for the beer? Probably not. Would I come back to have a few beers along the river on a nice afternoon? Absolutely.

Then for $.75 extra, I added hot cherry pepper relish. The meats were decently tender, and not chewy, but they all lacked flavor. More grilling or marinade could've been used. My dish was saved by their spicy mayo and their delicious relish. I am also taking away one star because of the ridiculousness of charging $.75 for every topping. Charging an extra $.75 each for lettuce, tomato, olives, cucumbers, pickles, etc. Really? That's absurd.

I've ordered from here twice, and both experiences have been less than admirable. On both…read moreoccasions, the estimated pickup time was way off, so expect to wait an additional 10-20 minutes beyond what you're told. My second experience, however, was particularly irritating. My order of a small pizza and two spinach calzones was quoted at a little over 40 minutes. Not a huge deal considering it was NFL Sunday, and I'm sure they were busy with takeout orders. I arrived two minutes after the estimated pickup time, gave the kid at the counter my name, and he asked if the order was for me. I said yes, he turned around to look for it, and then simply disappeared. Assuming it wasn't ready yet, I sat down in the waiting area. Another 10 minutes passed without anyone saying a word or giving me an update. Getting a bit irritated, I got up and politely asked for an ETA. He asked for my name again and whether the order was for me... I gave him the exact same answer as before. A young lady eventually came to the front to help with taking and sending out orders. The kid was explaining to her that he couldn't find something (not sure what), noticed I was starting to get frustrated, and giggled. I was taken aback because I had been nothing but cordial and patient, yet he seemed to find the situation funny. Finally, I watched the young lady look for my food and immediately find it. So, my food had actually been ready within the initial 40 minutes, but due to his negligence, it sat in the food warmer for another 15. Apart from that ordeal, some of the staff inside are extremely unprofessional. A kid with his hoodie up taking customers, another wearing pajamas, another wearing a bonnet. Blasting music in the back with vulgar language, and speaking in the same manner (not a big deal to me, but there were two older women waiting for their food as well, and I'm sure that wasn't a delight for them to hear). The cherry on top was another kid coming to the front desk, letting out a long, loud burp, giggling, and grabbing a piece of candy for himself. The food is decent, the prices are outrageous, and some staff need to be terminated immediately. Giving them a second chance was a mistake I should have seen coming...

I remember 5 - 10 years ago there weren't that many, so when you saw one you didn't mind that there was a 20 minute line to order. Now, they seem to be all over the place and the old school quality control just isn't there. At one time, I'd have put Shake Shack ahead of In n Out burger in terms of the actual taste. Perfectly caramelized, browned smash patties seasoned nicely giving them a crunchy but juicy salty pop. Now ... Maybe 1 out of every 4 burgers I get here is good. The rest are a greasy mess. All you can taste is the drippy grease which saturates the bottom bun and oozes from the patties. After 3 bites, your stomach starts to do somersaults and you feel full and gross. No more can you taste the seasoning or salty special burger sauce ... it's just nasty grease. Fries are consistently average here. It's hard to fuck up bagged crinkle fries ... but the fries are as much as most burgers elsewhere and pretty unremarkable. (In fairness, In n Out has this issue as well, despite being fresher.) The Shakes here are pretty rough compared to Chic Filet next door. It's a sugary milk shake which also makes your stomach do cartwheels. If the line wasn't so long at Chic Filet, I'd go there for their amazing milk shakes. For $7-$8 fucking bucks at Shake Shack, a milk shake is way overpriced and not great. Overall, it's no mystery why, even during peak times, this place has no line at all while Chic Filet's line stretches around the store. I can honestly say this is the worst Shake Shack I've been to from a quality control aspect. It's just never consistent and they have about a 25% track record at making a good burger. All other times, it's a greasy mess with no taste.

Ted's is a great local bar and restaurant. The dining area is separate from the bar, and both are…read morereally nice. The bar has lots of seats and the dining room has around 10 tables. Food is cooked fresh to order - they make everything in house and I've been told that they don't even have a microwave in the kitchen. That being said, plan to wait a while for your food, especially when it is busy on the weekends. In my opinion, fresh is worth the wait, but sometimes, the wait is really, really long. Service is good - usually friendly and efficient. The last time I was there I felt like the server was overwhelmed, but it was a really busy Saturday night with lots of food orders as well as a full bar. Ted's is a decent place to eat or drink at in Cranston.
