    Tofu scramble with sliced tomatoes.
    Christena B.

    I got the tofu scramble and a decaf coffee & everything was delicious! I've been talking about it for days. The service was so great and accommodating when I told them that I had gastric bypass surgery and couldn't have the toast or hash browns, she was willing to substitute it for sliced tomatoes for me. The cafe looks like a perfect old-school diner and I sat at the counter, which was really nice. This will definitely be a staple from now on!

    Specials of the day!

    We actually wanted to visit another diner for their "crack bread", but that place is closed on weekends so we came here. Everything at Rome Point Cafe was fantastic, would definitely recommend and we look forward to coming back!

    We've stopped into this breakfast and lunch spot in the past, but it's been a while. We don't often find ourselves on this stretch of Rt. 1A during meal time, but as we were in the area, at the right time, we stopped in for lunch. There is parking on the side of the building by the trees and in the back. The entrance is on the Rt 1a side of the building. Inside there are several small tables in the front part of the building, including two by the windows each side of the door, as well as a few counter stools. Behind a partition wall are a few booth seats. The interior is nothing to write home about. Linoleum tile floor peeling, lots of electrical wires added to the walls for things like AC and appliances. But you are not here for ambiance you are here for food and everything is clean. They have tried to make it as cozy as possible The staff are super friendly and efficient. They serve breakfast throughout open hours as well as lunch by late morning. We were told to have a seat anywhere and menu's were brought over. During our visit every table but one was full, so definitely a favorite with the locals. On the wall to the right of the entrance is a 'blackboard' type application where they write the specials and there were quite a few including soup of the day and baked goods for take away. They had many take out orders during our visit and the staff clearly knew these folks as they chatted familiarly during their purchase. We ordered sandwiches for lunch. They come with a pickle, which is both sweet and sour as well as crisp. Fries are a la carte, which is fine, because these sandwiches really filled us up. There was plenty of meat in there, and the rolls were warm and soft. A very satisfying meal. Actually, it was more than enough to fill my stomach. I left stuffed. The price for the sandwiches was reasonable and the food quality good. There is one tiny restroom tucked in behind some tables that you have to squeeze by to enter. It was clean and stocked. All together we had a pleasant lunch.

    Ate in the cute nook here. Service was lovely. Prices are amazing. I built myself an avocado toast sandwich

    Friendly service, relaxing vibe and absolutely delicious food! I had the banana bread French toast with a side of scrambled eggs and cheese and my husband had the Skippers plate and we just ate way more than we should have! Fast service and lots of seating! We will definitely be back again!

    Best lobster benny, very sweet meat, excellent sauce, great service, and clean bathroom. I suspect this is a favorite of my locals here. I will be back

    Counter seating, full up (or nearly so)

    Decent diner with old-school swivel-stool counter seating, friendly service, and all the standard comfort foods you'd expect - plus some nice specials that are always well worth considering. My colleague opted for breakfast - and it looked good! - consisting of scrambled eggs, toast, ham, and home fries. I went for the lunch side of the menu and had a brace of hot dogs with sauerkraut, fries, and cole slaw. Solid and satisfying. It's a lively place, fills up fast, so I'd advise you come early to ensure being seated quickly!

    Great neighborhood spot near Wickford. Limited seating so you may wait. Feels like an old timey breakfast spot with good prices and classic menu items and furnishings. Simple yet good. We especially enjoyed the mocha cold brew from local coffee shop, Nitro Cart. Also enjoyed the eggs Benedict with corned beef hash.

    Swiss cheese omelette with bacon bits, hash brown potatoes with English muffin.

    Very tasty food here at this very popular breakfast/lunch cafe. Because of its popularity, you will have a wait. We were here on a Sunday morning just prior to a February snowstorm around 10 am and it was packed. They have a pager system, where you need to walk up to the cashier/waitress to get the device and then wait for your number to be called. I saw some local regular customers, who were greeted by name, go wait in their car with the device. We ate at the counter and were served by a VERY friendly waitress, who clearly knew her regular customers by name. The servings were generous and my blueberry pancakes were fluffy and wonderful. My spouse's Swiss cheese omelet with bacon bits and hash browns were very satisfying, he said. I asked to bring my remaining coffee to go and was pleasantly surprised when I was given a large coffee cup topped off with hot coffee. Nice touch! I would visit here again, but will make sure to plan some time to get a table/seat.

    Tuna melt
    Syp V.

    Reliable, simple, and hearty brunch/lunch food done well and at a great price! I mean avo toast for under $4 is impossible to find! I've heard so many great things about this cute place. It lives up to the hype! It's a no-frills but charming little diner with the metal countertop and stools and all. I could tell right away our waitress was experienced, friendly, and a straight-shooter...just my style. We both got a bowl of the chicken, artichoke Florentine soup (note: it's creamy, not clear broth like I had expected) which was delish. Perfect size too. I got a Tuna Melt with curly fries while my hubby got the Reuben and a spinach/pineapple/mango green shake (great that it was all natural but seemed like the fruits weren't super ripe so was a little on the bland side). Both sandwiches were generously filled and came with homemade pickles. Overall, was very pleased with our quick meal! My only nit is that the giant "Rome Point Next Door" sign with the arrow pointing right towards a door is extremely confusing. I didn't realize there's a second smaller coffee shop called "Rome Point Next Door." The arrow adds confusion unless it's intentional? It made it seem like the entrance to the actual restaurant was past the door to the right. I wonder how often people get that mixed up!! Poor usability/customer experience that started us off on a bad foot since it was raining and we were walking around trying to find the entrance.

Wickford on the Water has a prime spot with water views from their deck and side windows. In summer this place if full most days due to it's location. Recently we stopped in for lunch. The street side of the building is a dining room, while the water side is a bar area with bar seating and high top tables. Single men's and women's rooms are in the hallway connecting the two spaces. Wait to be seated by the hostess. On our visit, the hostess sent us down the hall to 'see Angelo' in the bar as the dining room was full. Angelo let us pick a table and brought menus. We placed our drink order and spent a good deal of time looking over the menu. Angelo was patient and gave us plenty of time to decide. Their website has options for ordering pick-up or delivery through door dash where you can view those menu options, but not 'just the menu' as a stand alone page to preview. It was a sunny, cold day and I decided on the short rib shepherds pie and a side salad. The salad arrived first. It was very lightly dressed with fresh lettuce and brittle croutons. The shepherds pie arrived in a casserole, hot from the oven with cheese melted over the potatoes. My first bite was potatoes. They were tasty enough with the melted cheese on top. No need for salt or other seasonings. My second bite had a mere hint of meat in an oily sauce under all those potatoes. After eating a quarter of the dish and finding very little short rib, I began to move the potato out of the way to access the meat. This revealed an inconsistent, thin film of meat at the bottom of the bowl. I do love potatoes, and these were tasty, however, for that price, I expect more protein. The restaurant was quiet during our visit. They have a nice mix of relaxing, current music playing in the background. The restaurant and restroom were clean. Deck dining and bar, in warmer weather, is a nice option and the menu offers a variety of food choices from apps to entrees. Staff are competent. Parking is on-street and in the local public lot nearby.

My partner and I grabbed seats at the bar and immediately felt like regulars thanks to Kelsi.

The whole place was decked out for St. Patrick's Day and it added such a festive, welcoming vibe. I also loved hearing that they switch up seasonal menu items every few weeks. The staff really leans into it, which makes it feel fresh and fun every time you visit. I ordered a gluten free Johnnycake topped with poached eggs, sausage, and hollandaise, plus home fries. Everything was spot on. Great portions, great flavor, and honestly no need to reach for salt, pepper, or ketchup which says a lot. We both ended up taking leftovers because we were so full. Bonus points for Kelsi sending me out with a to-go cup for my salted caramel iced coffee. Little touches like that go a long way. Also, fun fact, they offer a discount if you pay cash. Already looking forward to going back. Thank you!

The drinks were decent but nothing over-the-top, still enjoyable and well made. Where this place really shines is the food. Portions were generous, and everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying. You definitely won't leave hungry. The only small letdown was the lobster portion in the crab cakes appetizer. For $32, we expected a bit more, but it ended up being a small, slightly rubbery claw. Just the one detail that didn't quite match the rest of the experience. Overall, this spot delivers where it counted. They had great service, beautiful views, and delicious, filling food. We'd absolutely come back and recommend it for a laid-back meal by the water.

Decided to dress up a bit and found we were not alone in the sentiment, which was fun. The ambiance at Sweet Marie's is top notch, though take note it's a small space and can feel a bit cramped - especially with all the delicate china place settings. Perhaps avoid very high heels if you plan on boozing . I like that they provided an Afternoon Tea timeline so you knew exactly what to expect. The tea selection however, was not up to snuff. With only 4 varieties (English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Chai, Decaf English Breakfast) I was quite disappointed. You expect tea to be their specialty. Flavors were good, but we did find the service was a bit slow. There were a few instances where we had no beverages at the table and given the timed seating, felt that diminished the value. Thankfully their price point isn't super high. I will say, the food was quite yummy and had a good variety of savories and sweets.
