Over the years, in all the different places I've lived, I've had a favorite restaurant where I'd eventually become a regular. Purslane is that place for me after one amazing dinner a few weeks ago that I can't stop thinking about. The food is outstanding without being fussy. The service is warm without being too much. The space is beautifully decorated, and there's even coffee table photography books in the bathroom, like come on! Last but not least, they have the Champagne of Beers, so you know it's my jam. I only wish I lived closer but it's worth the drive and I'm looking forward to more memorable meals here. read more

Finally got around to trying Purslane and it lived up to the hype. They don't take reservations for parties smaller than 6, so that can certainly be a challenge. We ended up getting an outdoor table and luckily avoided any inclement weather. Our server was nice although she made a mistake and overcharged us for a dish they were sold out of (forgot to take it off the bill) but we were able to resolve it after the fact (had already paid the bill before realizing the error). The food was absolutely fantastic! I can see why it's such a popular spot. Everything we tried was well executed and creative. Tons of flavor in every bite. I definitely plan to return. read more

Been on my list for a while. I woke up salivating from the garlic focaccia in dukkah spice and the most amazing olive oil. Loved my drink, Jungle Bird-so much so I had 3. Ordered the Steak Frites-loved the au poirve sauce-the cut of meat (hanger) was not my favorite but the flavors were there. Loved the friendly staff! read more

Let me lead with the only things we had for constructive feedback was that we wished the sandwich bun was a little larger to accommodate the chicken and toppings. WOULD NOT advocate for changing those sizes as those were perfect (please, just tweak the bun). We found Purslane to be, probably, our new favorite restaurant in Wakefield! The staff were very friends and accommodating. The drinks were creative and fun, and the food was overall unique, flavored well, and delicious. The environment is fun to sit in and watch. Whether inside the renovated, garage vibe with eclectic pieces hanging on the walls or people watching from the outside patio, a good spot to enjoy food and drink. I would say too, space can be tight, and wouldnt suggest it as a good option for large parties. read more

I went to Purslane on Mother's Day and they were slammed. The bartenders/servers were 100% overrun so service was not great. But I definitely chalk that up to them just being busier than they thought they would be. I was there around 3pm, so definitely took advantage of some of their "happy hour" specials. They have some great options including a fries and martini combo and 1/2 priced oysters. The kimchi mignonette they make is delicious, highly recommend. I also went with some tasty fries and their simple side salad. All delicious. The interior is so cute, with plants and decor all over. Tons of outdoor seating as well. I look forward to returning again when it's a bit less busy or at least more staff coverage. read more

Purslane Eatery - Burgers Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

This place feels like going to your friends for dinner. The food is always quality specials depending on what local farmers bring by and they serve it til it runs out. Craft cocktails but the food is also crafted so perfectly. Instead of a huge menu of things done well they have a smaller menu of things done spectacularly. The place is always so warm and cozy with the natural light and plants galore. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Everyone needs to try Purslane - i promise it won't be your only visit. read more

Phenomenal dinner experience at Purslane on a Saturday evening! My husband and I were visiting the area for a night and decided to have dinner here, and we're so glad that we did. The ambiance is beautiful, so chic and elegant while being filled with plants and antiques and cozy details. Service was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the FOOD! We enjoyed the smoked bluefish dip and some fresh oysters as appetizers, and for our mains, I tried the sausage banh mi and my husband tried the labneh, poached eggs, and curried vegetables (we also split a side of fries). Everything was so flavorful and fresh, we enjoyed every bite. The cocktails are also very fun! I tried the Pirate Vibes (a take on a tiki drink), and my husband had a Tamarind Sour. Both were unique and delicious. We left with very happy stomachs, and should we ever find ourselves nearby again, we will 100% return! read more

This place rocks. The chicken Milanese is the best I've ever had. Tuna crudo is outstanding. Only knock is their cocktail/wine list. Maybe they're just trying to be different, but I don't want a varietal I've never heard of that closely resembles a cab sav... I just want a cab sav. Still- amazing place. We go biweekly! read more

I love this place. I've only been here once so far but after hearing some friends rave about it, we finally stopped in. This is a small spot with only a few tables. The vibe is super cute and cozy and the food is delicious. The chicken sandwich is the best around. They've got a good selection of beers and their spicy margarita is great! read more

My husband and I were in Wakefield and came across Purslane Eatery. According to the website, the creators of ButterHead food truck created Purslane Eatery. The food truck is parked out back and also serves food. There is a parking lot to the back for customers. We walked in and were seated at a table near the window. There are a few tables inside great for small or bigger groups and bar seating too. There is a lot of natural lighting and nice plants. We started with the Jungle Bird and Kentucky buck cocktails. The Jungle Bird has Jamaican Dark Rum, Campari, and Pineapple. The Kentucky buck was one of the specials for the Kentucky Derby. It had strawberry, lemonade, and Bourbon. Both of the drinks were very good. We had a lil' Rhody Stuffy that had Clams/Lemon/Ritz/Old Bay/Chorizo/Peppers/Onion/Garlic. This was a great appetizer. For entrees, we had the Banh Mi that had Pork sausage/cilantro/daikon/carrot/garlic aioli/sriracha, Kimchi Dog that had Saugy Hot Dog/Martins Roll/Chi Kitchen Kimchi/Garlic Aioli/Scallions, and large fries with ketchup. I've had come across Chi Kitchen Kimchi before in Farm Fresh RI and purchased a bottle of kimchi from them. It was a pleasant surprise to see them on the menu. The food had really good flavor and tasted delicious. It was very filling. We were able to see some sneak peaks of our food being prepared and cooked at the ButterHead food truck and then brought to Purslane by the waitress. Service was wonderful and friendly. I would love to come back to Purslane Eatery. read more

My husband and I don't even debate where to eat anymore--we just look at each other and say "Purselane." Every single thing on the menu is consistently fantastic. The atmosphere is small, cozy, and fun, and the servers and waitstaff are always warm, friendly, and lovely to chat with. It's truly our go-to spot. They don't take reservations, but the wait is usually minimal, and the surrounding area is so charming that we happily put our name in and wander through nearby shops. One of the few South County restaurants that feels truly intentional, with a creative menu, high-quality ingredients, unfussy execution, and great vibes all around. The only minor consideration is the outdoor seating, which is a bit tight, so we usually opt to eat inside. Other than that, if we could eat here every night, we absolutely would. read more

Ambiance, service. Interesting unusual menu options.Food was well pre and tasty. Would like to see more seafood options for entrees. Bluefish appetizer was excellent. read more

Perfect. The playlist. The interior vibe. Plants bringing life into the space. The tofu bhan mi was savory and just the right veggie crunch with a fresh roll. Side salad dressing was yum...champagne vinegar perhaps? Exactly what I needed and didn't even know it. read more

Beautiful interior, really great food. Dont let the long wait or lack of reservations deter you from this great local spot. read more

Very cute, hip new eatery in Wakefield. It's tucked on the corner by the ice cream shop, but certainly worth the stop in. There was a nice selection of small plates, we had the asparagus (fantastic) and the blue fish dip. For our entrée, we each had grilled cheese, which was buttery and delicious. Currently is is a byob option, but I believe that will change in the future. I enjoyed my experience and will be back! read more

We love it. Great atmosphere. Amazing food. Just be aware that there are no reservations. But we often find a spot.

Loved the vibes here. Came here for lunch and was seated right away. Service is phenomenal and very welcoming. I ordered the kimchi dog & fries to share. Both delicious. read more

Purslane Eatery - Entrance & outdoor seating - Burgers Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

The food here is absolutely fire. It was a food truck that now has flourished into a lovely brick and mortar. Come early as it's fairly small and it fills up fast. They only take reservations for 6 or more. We ordered the tuna crudo, which was delicious. The labneh and herbs I could eat daily. We also got the three entrees at the time: the cavatelli, chicken Milanese, and steak frites. The pasta was cooked perfectly and tasted homemade. The chicken was yummy and so was the steak frites. I didn't absolutely love the sauce on the steak frites, but it was still decent. Honestly, that was the only thing that wasn't absolutely perfect. The drinks were delicious, especially the passion fruit cocktail and spicy maple margarita. We were soo stuffed that we didn't try dessert, but I know I will be back later in the summer to try them. read more

Quickly becoming one of my favorite spots! Food atmosphere and service are all pretty perfect! An adorable location, with tables, bar seating, and an awesome patio for the warmer months. Food is heavenly, especially the purslane platter. If you're a lover of raw seafood then this is the spot for you! The platter is sheer perfection! Having tried a few menu items outside of seafood, I can say that there really is something for everyone, and no one will walk away disappointed. The attention to detail in their flavor is outstanding. Service is always super friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. If you're in south county make this is a stop for sure! read more

Oh my! What a find. I love everything about this place. Food quality, menu, service, cocktails, and atmosphere. It hits on all stars. For lunch we had the frisée and delecata salad. It is outstanding. Smash burger and kimchi dog both left us wanting one more bite. Fries were also delish. The service is personal but not intrusive. I just can't say enough about this new addition to Westerly. My only regret is that we do not live nearby. read more

Stumbled upon this treasure on a visit to Wakefield on a gorgeous summer like day in October. Wow. The.dwcor is the first thing that caught my eye! My friend and I enjoyed a salad with fried chicken and the sandwich special of Italian meats. So delicious! We timed our arrival perfectly just before the lunch rush. Just learned they have been open a mere 6 months. I will totally drive the 40 plus minutes to come here again!!!! read more

The food at Purslane was first rate and unique. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our server was pleasant and efficient . In all, when we are in RI again visiting, I'm sure we will be returning to visit and sample more of the unique menu items Purslane has to offer. read more

The food, drink, service and vibes at Purslane are perfection! I love their tuna crudo or scallop, so refreshing and delicious. The Chicken Milanese is the dish of my dreams - I try not to get it every time but the salad is so crisp, flavorful and perfectly paired with the juicy and flaky cutlet. Their burger and sandwiches are also all incredible - even with a smaller, farm fresh menu there is truly an option for everyone. Their service is relaxed yet attentive. Always knowledgeable and excited about the food and drink menus. I've had some lovely meals served by Alana! And for the vibes - the tiny TV, the cozy bar, the beautiful outdoor space, the big windows inside, the mixed cutlery and plates. I adore Purslane and feel so grateful to have their restaurant servicing the SK community. Do give them a try if you haven't already! read more

The food is delicious. It was worth $6 for the side salad, which had shaved fennel and was well dressed. My bahn mi was a bit wet from the sauces, but full of flavor and the bread holds up well and doesn't get soggy. The interior is gorgeous, including their bathroom. Service was top notch. Friendly and prompt. read more

This venue offers a little preview of the excellent food and service located in South Kingstown. A venue excellent for an open lunch on the patio or just to meet that someone special for a romantic afternoon AL FRESCO. I can wait to go back to this hidden jewel of NK, wonderful flavors, and gourmet food. I got in love with the fried chicken sando, please don't miss it. read more

Great find! I almost don't want to review and make this place popular but they so deserve it!!! Very friendly service, fabulous food and great ambiance. I had the smash burger and a side salad. Gourmet Big Mac is an understatement as so many flavors dripping down my fingers. My wife had salad with smoked salmon that was 10 out of 10.

Great fun, cool food, and the service has been great since they hired so many more servers. My last review was 4 Stars because of service. It's all good now. One thing to keep in mind, it's very loud inside during busy times, so if you are with any hearing impaired people...try to sit outside! read more

Purslane is our favorite local restaurant. Great food, great vibes, and friendly staff. I love the nashville hot chicken sandwich and my wife always gets the banh mi. read more

The food is amazingly delicious, the serving size is bountiful but the service is horrendously slow so be forewarned.

Like the atmosphere and the service and food have been excellent. I will be going back next chance I get.

My new favorite place. Interior super cute and inviting, service warm and welcoming. The food and drinks - not just good but memorable. White Negroni was delicious. Had some really fresh, sweet delicious oysters to start along w delicious and interesting sesame focaccia. Steak perfectly cooked and really well seasoned, salad and fried chicken delicious. Do not skip dessert and if they have the pavlova- a must try. Highly recommend. read more
