You sign them out like they're on a hall pass…read more My mother's name. My father's name. Date. Time. Where we're going. Lunch. That's the whole reason, written in a box probably designed for doctor's appointments. Then I walk the two people who raised me out to the car and drive them to a restaurant they've probably eaten at many times before any of us needed permission to go anywhere. They just can't remember the last time they were there. We went to the Greenwood Inn. There are restaurants that spend a lot of money trying to look retro and cool. Greenwood doesn't have to. The place has been feeding travelers and locals in one form or another for nearly 300 years. It was once a stagecoach stop. When the Stonington Railroad came through in 1837, it became a railroad station. Later it was a saloon with a reputation for fights and rowdy crowds. Then Henry and Norma Papa took over in the 1950s and began turning it into the family restaurant Warwick knows now. The Papa family is still running it, three generations later. The room looks like it has lived some of that history. Dark wood. Big exposed beams crossing a high white ceiling. Old-fashioned lanterns hanging between them. Green leather booths. White tablecloths covered with brown paper. A massive stone wall cutting through part of the dining room. TVs over the bar showing golf. Nothing about it feels designed for 2026. Good. Then you open the menu. Calling it large doesn't quite explain it. Steaks and chops. Fried seafood. Italian dishes. Burgers. Sandwiches. Wraps. Homemade chicken soup every day. Senior and children's menus. Sixteen beers on tap. An extensive wine list. Greenwood describes itself as American, Italian and seafood, which sounds less like a concept than three restaurants agreeing to share a kitchen. Mom got a meatball sandwich. Dad got a BLT with bacon crisp enough that you could hear it break. I got the chicken parm sandwich. And because I help run RI: The Pizza State, I ordered a pizza. "Research." At least that's what I told my parents, anyway. Half cheese. Half pepperoni. It arrived on one of those raised metal stands, looking slightly ridiculous in the middle of a table already covered with sandwiches and fries. Greenwood Inn has almost every excuse imaginable to make mediocre pizza. Pizza isn't the identity of this place. It isn't even close. With a menu this big, they could put some sauce and cheese on perfectly serviceable dough, bake it until everything melted and call it done. Instead, somebody back there knows how to make pizza. The crust is hand tossed. It rises unevenly around the perimeter, with bubbles and little folds where somebody actually handled the dough. The rim is light inside and browned outside, with enough substance that nobody is going to mistake this for a New York slice. The sauce has body and plenty of garlic. The cheese melts into it instead of sitting in a heavy layer on top. The pepperoni curls into cups, darkens at the edges and brings a little spice. Then I turned a slice over. That was the moment. Look at that bottom. Deep brown almost from edge to edge. Darker in spots. A dusting of flour or semolina still hanging on. No pale center. No soft patch where the oven never quite got there. They pushed the bake. And they nailed it. The bottom had real crunch while the dough above it stayed chewy. This isn't some pizza obsessive's shop with a special oven and a seventy-two-hour dough program printed on the menu. It's the Greenwood Inn. Pizza could easily be the twentieth thing this kitchen does reasonably well. Instead, it's quite good. Maybe that's what impressed me most. Nobody needed this pizza to be this good. The restaurant has been around for generations. The dining room was busy. My parents were quite happy with their sandwiches. Pizza is one small part of a menu that barely seems to end. But somebody in that kitchen looked at that crust and knew it wasn't ready yet. Somebody cared about the bottom. They didn't have to. They did anyway. Eventually the research ended, which is another way of saying I ate more pizza than anyone who had already finished a chicken parm sandwich had any business eating. Then I drove my parents back. For most of my life, they were the people taking me places to eat. Now I get to take them. I don't know how many more lunches like this we'll get. None of us knows those things while they're happening. So I took the pictures. I'm glad the pizza was good. But that's not why I'll remember it.

Stopped here on Saturday night, the place was busy, which we took as a good sign. I'd like to first…read morepoint out that the service was excellent and it was a nice atmosphere. The history of the location is also a great story. We started with calamari, it was obviously frozen calamari that was drop fried. I ordered an Italian dish consisting of two chicken cutlets, eggplant, prosciutto, ricotta and topped with cheese. The chicken cutlets appeared to have been previously frozen and drop fried, they were overcooked and tough. The eggplant appeared to be previously frozen and drop fried. My wife got the meatball sub, the meatballs didn't appear to be homemade, they were edible though. My daughter, a culinary student, got shrimp scampi, she said that it was OK, but the coleslaw she ordered on the side was the worst she'd ever had. My daughter's boyfriend got the prime rib special, he said it was not at all good and his mashed potatoes reminded him of instant potatoes. Literally everything we ordered except the prime rib, appeared to have been previously frozen and was simply heated up and served.. With that being said, the restaurant was nice and appeared clean, the bathrooms were spotless and the service was excellent, the menu was very large, perhaps too many choices? Unfortunately, the food was subpar and reminded us of food related issues encountered on the popular TV show Kitchen Nightmares. We expected much better food based on previous reviews, the nice atmosphere and the excellent service.

Food: We only ordered drinks, nachos and churros. But the…read morenachos were good, the cheese was melted in a way that when it dries it hardens a bit and I love that part. It's also very shareable (thought I took a pic but didn't..oops!). The churros were crispy and came in 4 pieces with a side of chocolate to dip. It was good but could be a bit softer inside. Overall, good spot to meet up for drinks and snacks! Service: Our waitress was super attentive and very nice. She checked in on us often. Ambiance: It's a nice spot. Looks like a big log cabin and plenty of tables and seatings. Great for watching sports too. There was a singer there for the night and he was good! There's also a parking lot in the front. Would go again.

Food on floor, tables had a crayon used as a shim to keep from wobbling. It even smelled like a greasy old friendlys. I watched someone clear 2 tables and not wipe them down (he apologized and wiped them down after). I canceled my food order and paid for my two sodas. They were very nice about it, so extra star for not being rude to me but the owner really needs to have this place deep cleaned and make some updates. I remember coming here to the grand opening and really loving it here. We often visit the one in Smithfield and it's clean and food always delicious. I felt bad but I'm a little OCD (I'm a nurse) and have had food poisoning in the past. If the common areas are dirty I worry what the kitchen looks like.

It was a Friday afternoon, so we were the only ones there. The host/waiter welcomed us in and let us pick any table. Their chairs here are far more comfortable. I thought I wanted tacos, but after seeing the chimichanga on the menu, I went for that instead. For my meat I selected steak and requested to have the toppings (pico, guacamole, and sour cream) on the side so it wouldn't get soggy. My friend ordered the birria tacos. Soon after ordering, a large party came in and really made the place upbeat. They had a soccer game playing so it was fun to eat and watch. The food came out quickly and it was hot and fresh. The chimichanga was crispy and big. It was filled with rice, beans, steak, and a couple other things. I didn't dare pick it up and eat it, but instead cut into it. It was very delicious, with all the flavors coming together nicely. The steak was tasty and tender. My friend's tacos were good, but they would have been better if they had more cheese and been crispier. The service here was excellent and the prices are fair. It seems they have a bar area in the back. They have a large parking lot to the left of the building, across the street but there is also street parking.

The menu has so many great options that it was honestly hard to choose. I ended up ordering the Mexican Steak Burrito Bowl, and it did not disappoint. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the steak was tender. I was also given both the red and green hot sauces, and they were delicious additions that elevated the meal even more. I also tried the California wrap with fries. While it wasn't my favorite item, it was still decent. The chicken was a bit saltier than I personally prefer, and the wrap wasn't as filled as I expected. That said, everyone's tastes are different, and it wouldn't stop me from coming back. The restaurant has plenty of seating, including a bar area if that's more your style. Parking is also available, which is always a nice bonus. The only thing worth noting is that your food may take a little time to come out. However, considering how fresh and flavorful everything was, I felt the wait was completely worth it. I visited around lunchtime, but after looking through the menu, the breakfast options sounded amazing. There were several items that caught my eye, so I'll definitely be back to give breakfast a try. Overall, a great experience with friendly service, plenty of menu options, and some really flavorful dishes. Looking forward to returning.
