    Eggs Quesadilla
    Jackie B.

    This is a must go to if you are in the area, and I'll drive over an hour to come here for breakfast. It's dive-y in the best of ways! Great drinks, and you cannot beat the view. Get there early, 930 on a Sunday and we had a wait for 2, managed to get a seat right away at the bar.

    Many people know Ocean Mist for the all the music bands that come here which are awesome. I went here with my family for breakfast. The view of the ocean while eating breakfast is so awesome. There is outside and inside seating. Our waitress Sara was amazing. We enjoyed looking at all the stickers people have placed over the years. I had the eggs Benedict classic but they have many versions to choose from. My kids got an omelette and Texas French toast which both devoured. My husband loved their corned beef hash. Make sure to get there early for parking and less of a line.

    Ocean Mist has always been one of my favorite spots for live music -- it's that perfect mix of bar, restaurant, and beachside venue. I've been going there for years to catch bands and soak in the fun, laid-back atmosphere. During a recent staycation at East Matunuck Beach, I decided to try their breakfast for the first time with my mom, since I'd heard good things. I ordered scrambled eggs with the sweet potato black bean hash, which also came with toast and home fries. The hash was a bit of a miss for me -- it was really mushy purée and heavy on spices like cumin and chipotle, which overpowered the dish. The home fries were just deep-fried potato chunks with no real seasoning or flavor. I personally prefer home fries that are cooked on the grill. That said, the omelette the woman next to me had looked amazing, so I haven't given up on their breakfast just yet. Ocean Mist 5 stars...Ocean Mist breakfast at this moment 3 stars has too much going for it to judge on one plate -- I'll definitely be back for round two.

    These guys used to hang out here back in the ole college days. Life was rough.

    We were in town for the URI Homecoming game and the guys wanted to get together at one of their old haunts. I could not imagine being a college kid and having this place as one of the usual places you go to meet up with friends! Life was so tough for these guys! I had a couple Bloodies...they were spicy and delicious. For lunch I ordered the Chicken Parm over penne pasta and hubby got a Cheese Burger. The food is outstanding here. Not at all what I thought a dive bar would serve! The staff were all super friendly, I mean, how can you not have a great attitude with this view and amazing co-workers? I can see why the guys were regulars here back in the day!

    This is the definition of a dive beach bar and you will love everything about it!! The drinks are strong, the staff is friendly & knowledgeable and the food is excellent. 1. Start with a coffee with love or mimosas 2. Try any of the Benedict's and regular and vegan hash, it's delicious 3. Stay for the live music!!

    Ocean Mist is the ultimate beach bar experience! Nestled right on the water, it's the perfect spot to meet up for drinks and soak in the good vibes on a sunny summer day. I visited this past summer, and I'm already looking forward to going back once the weather warms up. (Can you tell I'm day-dreaming of it right now?) It's very much a local hidden gem, with a laid-back charm that's hard to beat. I'd recommend grabbing an espresso martini with your girlfriends while taking in the stunning ocean views--it might not be the best martini I've ever had, but the vibe makes it totally worth it. If you're looking for a great spot to relax with drinks and a killer view, this is the place to be.

    Love this mist for live shows and summer drinks! The view is amazing. The bartenders are efficient. The drinks are tasty. I know they do food but I haven't eaten there in a while. Overall a totally fun time!

    Breakfast Tacos with hot sauce and coffee with love

    We were pleasantly surprised by this local hot spot and dive! The drinks are strong, the live music is infectious, and the crowd is lively yet respectful. We enjoyed both brunch and late night music here. The brunch was hearty - they recommend the "Coffee with Love" which is a boozy iced coffee and a house special "for as long as they can remember". We ate the California Eggs Benedict and the Breakfast Tacos - and enjoyed their wide array of hot sauces to try! The brunch service was kind, quick, attentive and friendly despite it being absolute chaos on a busy weekend morning.

    This place is a mood all into itself. It is decidedly dive-y, yet the food is really good... especially for brunch. I had an absolutely humongous omelette that was cooked to perfection, meaning, no runny, yucky stuff in the middle. I also cannot say enough about the Bloody Marys. They were dangerously good. Our server was a little bit grumpy, but somehow his curtness matched the mood of the place and was not troublesome. And if you are lucky enough to get a seat by the window, the ocean view cannot be beat. Pro tip: if you have to use the ladies room, bring a couple of paper napkins with you. You never know when this place will have toilet paper or paper towels :-) !

    Been here twice for brunch and it always hits. The corned beef hash is so good! We have sat at the bar and the service has been excellent! Quirky bar but so fun!

    The vibe is relaxed beach dive bar ish. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is reasonably priced and decent. The menu is standard beach bar food. We sat at the bar today and watched as they made drinks and saw that they pour a good drink which is nice because a lot of places water it down and over charge. They always have all kinds of activities and live music. The view is unbeatable as O Mist is right on the water. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I always feel comfortable here. Now there are in my mind only two real cons... The first con is that parking can be a bit nightmarish but if you aren't cheap like me you can pay to park which is a bit easier. When it's really busy expect that you'll have a hard time parking tho. The second con is the women's bathroom. It's always been clean when I go in there but the entire bathroom is so small for the size of the bar. Which means the stalls are tiny and your face is practically up against the door/shower curtains and that kinda grosses me out a bit. Other than those two things I think it's a fun place.

    Hey how could I have not reviewed the Ocean Mist, I've been going here for year, mostly for breakfast and lunch. It's your basic beach bar that had bands at time, mostly in the evening, big bar inside, and a fair amount of patio seating and an excellent view of R.I. sound, on a car day you can see Block Island too! I like the omelets here and especially like the breakfast in general, my only complaint is the ice coffee is only barely ok. For lunch the seafood tacos are excellent. Service is good and prices moderate. Go here and experience it before it falls into the ocean!

    Well, it is - their deck actually hangs over the waves, and you can see Block Island in the distance.

    The Charlestown Rathskeller - Giant pretzel

    New menu item alert!…read more New season, new menu. The Rathskeller put a shio pork ramen on the menu. Now, it's sort of confusing, in that by the name, I was thinking it's a shio broth. The item description says it has a miso broth. When it came out, I tasted no miso, and it wasn't cloudy in the least, as I'd expect with a miso broth. It tastes like a shio broth, so the name does not lie. Anyway, it is very very good. It comes with 2 slices of chashu pork that just melt in your mouth. This is a lovely dish and perfect for cold nights. Also, the night I went, the creme brulee of the day was butterscotch. And I'm a sugar fiend, so I absolutely loved it. Cut it with a bit of coffee, if you're not as much into sweets. The sugar crust was just a bit thicker than you'd normally get (but, I actually like that...I actually find the "proper" creme brulee crust is too thin), and it was perfectly creamy and smooth underneath. It was a great dessert to close the meal.

    This is a great spot for a delicious meal. Hidden in the back woods of Charlestown, this spot has a…read morecozy atmosphere in a real local charm. With a great assortment of fresh beers and massive portions of food you will never go hungry. The food here is amazing and the service is just as good. I fully suggest starting off with a plate of their delicious french fries. You can get them naked, or with various toppings, including gravy or even Japanese curry. The meal they offer are very filling and very big. You'll also see a massive pretzel pass by your table every so often making you want one. Would recommend!

My brother got a pulled pork burger, and he really liked it with his fries. Pretty sure he also got loaded fries. He enjoyed it so much he didn't leave not one crumb on his plate, lol. My cousin also got a hamburger and fries, and she thought it was delicious! They also got beers, and everything was pretty good and fairly priced. When I'm around this area, I'm definitely going to come back to this location due to the food itself. Location: This location is huge, and it had inside and outside seating with lots of tables!

Our waiter was super nice, brought everything in a timely manner, and asked if we needed anything, very attentive.
