We shared a Caesar salad and Fish and chips and enjoyed both. Plenty of food to share and served on separate plates which always is a plus. Also the warm buns were appreciated. Service was fast and our waitress Kyra was friendly and attentive. We will return!! read more

Sakonnet River Grille - Fish and chips shared on 2 plates - New American Near Me - Tiverton, Rhode Island

We have lived in the area for over 15 years and never knew about the Sakonnet River Grill. Our good friends recently took us there for dinner. They go there frequently. When you walk in, the hostess greets you and brings you to either side of the restaurant. It is almost two separate areas, each with its own bar and seating. It is a nice layout. They have very comfortable booths with large tables. Our server came over, introduced herself, and took our drink orders. The drinks were generously sized and well made. They have a wide variety of cocktails, beers, and wine. They have an enormous menu with a variety of appetizers, burgers, salads, and entrees. They also have a "specials" sheet featuring rotating specials. We ordered their fried string beans and some Caesar salads to start. Both were very good. My wife had chicken parmigiana for her entree, our friends had salmon and cod, and I had the whole belly fried clam plate (YAY!). The portions were GENEROUS. My wife's chicken parmigiana was enough for three people. Best of all, my order of clams was enormous and perfectly made. I am a complete snob when it comes to fried clams. I rarely get them, and I can say that these were among the best I have had anywhere. Price and value were excellent. We said we would be back, and we made that official. Our second visit was just as good as the first. I had a beautifully prepared Prime Rib and my wife had salmon. Don't be like us and wait 15 years. Give this place a try ASAP. read more

This restaurant is at a plaza with plenty of parking available. We came in at lunchtime and the place was buzzing with people enjoying their meal. We were offered a table to the left of the entrance close to the bar area. Unfortunately, it was a chilly and breezy day so every time the door was opened we experienced a cold draft. Our server was Hannah and she was very attentive. I ordered the Island Chicken and was somewhat underwhelmed with the dish. The amount of bacon bits on the chicken made the dish very salty. The combination of sweet teriyaki glaze and grilled canned pineapple didn't quite work for me. I liked my mashed potatoes and veggies. read more

First time experiencing this restaurant. It was recommended by a friend who frequently goes . Very nicely decorated and clean. We were greeted by a lovely lady who turned out to take care of us. She provided helpful information on the choices we were thinking about. We settled on one of the Turkey wraps and the fried clam plate. Clams were lightly fried and crispy. Everything came out quickly. I am definitely going back for the dinner menu soon! There are some pasta dishes that sound delicious! read more

Solid. Have only been her for lunch a few times - usually for sandwiches or burgers. HUGE menu. Good service. Generous lobster roll ($27!) , good cheesesteak, wings, and beverages. $82 with tip. Give them a try! read more

Another great experience! From hostess, waitress Annie to the incredible Chef who prepared our food, everything was fabulous! A group of us (five) stopped in for dinner, seated in the extra room area which is very comfortable, attractive and convenient. Everyone was happy with our orders, especially me who chanced the Sea Scallops Rockefeller, sautéed PERFECTLY, nestled in a sweet bisque-like sauce along with spinach and toasted crumbles. If no one was around, I would have licked the plate lol; it was that good!! Kudos to their team, its no surprise this restaurant was bustling on a Monday evening. read more

My two girlfriends and I had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal feel special. We each ordered the lobster roll and it was absolutely delicious: fresh, perfectly seasoned, and generously filled. To top it off, the Shirley Temples were just the right mix of sweet and refreshing. Everything about the visit, from the atmosphere to the food to the staff, made it a place I'd happily recommend. I'll definitely be coming back for another lobster roll (and another round of Shirley Temples)! read more

The food wasn't too bad. The chicken fingers could use salt and it would be nice if they added salt and pepper packets in the to go bag. But overall it was good. The staff supper nice they deserve more respect. That was amazing. Very satisfied with the staff. The ambiance was nice. It was nice and cosy and just nice inside. Very organized and clean. This is pretty good! read more

Quick and friendly service. Good parking. Very good food ! Avoid the Veal , unless you want to chew it for a long time.

We found this place online when we were looking for someplace to eat after visiting Fogland Beach. What I loved most about the place is that it seems like a local, family hang-out, and the waitress we had was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive. The swordfish dinner I got was delicious and we definitely plan to return the next time we are in the area. read more

Everything was perfect! They have the most amazing chowder in the area. Food was great, prices right, and served by a friendly staff read more

When we're in the Portsmouth, RI area at our cottage, we have two go to restaurants: 15 Point in Portsmouth which overlooks the water and Sakonnet River Grille in Tiverton. This Restaurant is clean, neat and above all, employs a great friendly staff. We ate there last Friday, greeted by Alexa and quickly seated. Many restaurants have enormous menus. Not so here. It is limited to well crafted sandwiches and unique entrees. Alexa quickly took out order. I had the spicy Cajun penne dish which I devoured. My love had a chicken wrap with mashed sweet potato. Sometimes simple is gourmet. Sakonnet service is quick, the meals hot, the service excellent. I was impressed when the staff rearranged several tables to accommodate a biker club driving those unique 3 wheeled types. Nothing was a problem for the staff for a dozen respectful customers. When it came time for our dessert, a cream cake with embedded berries, they did not have it. It was lighter fare than several enticing chocolate offerings. My attitude is if you have it on the menu, you better have it to serve. This is a great choice for lunch or supper in the Tiverton area. And ask for Alexa. read more

My daughter lives in Tiverton and I have been in the Sakonnet Grill a few times while visiting here. The service has always been very good on my visits. The menu is interesting and has lots of great options. The inside and atmosphere is cozy and inviting but does not have any particular style. The drinks have always been tasty and perfect on my visits. The bar staff has always tended to be particularly friendly and efficient on my visits. The food has always been great too, ... and that is the reason to visit Sakonnet. On my last visit I ordered the Mediterranean Medley with Salmon. We have ordered mussels and shrimp on other visits. Nothing I have ordered off the menu has disappointed. I would be happy to go back to Sakonnet River Grille anytime. read more

Better late than never. We were heading back from Newport on a Sunday and decided to let Google take us to the closest seafood place. We were not at all disappointed with this one. It was filled, but we were seated quickly. The staff was incredibly nice and quick to explain the menu. Stick with your New England seafood Staples and you can't go wrong with chowder, fish and chips and salmon, or steak and chicken for your land options. We left with leftovers and the food was as good as anything you'd find in Newport without emptying your wallet. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

I love going to Sakonnet River Grille. Candace is a breath of fresh air! She's so laid back, friendly and always on top of drinks, food etc. I also like Heather but I seem to miss her when I go in which is usually on Friday. Food is always good and service is fast. In short, Sakonnet River Grille is my "go to" place where I know I'll always see a friendly face and great food and drink! read more

We LOVE this restaurant! The food is always so creative, thanks to an awesome chef and great kitchen staff! We love dining in because the staff is incredible! But we've been doing a lot of takeout lately just because of our schedules. And let me tell you, we enjoy it almost as much because the food is always amazing! So hot, so fresh! But I especially want to give a shout out to Michelle P.! She is the person who pretty much always takes my order, and always is there at pick up. She's so genuinely kind, always so upbeat and positive, she makes it an absolute joy to come in and out for takeout. Thanks for being there, Michelle! We see you! read more

Friday night and tried a "new to us" restaurant, only to stumble upon our new "must try everything" on the menu place! French onion soup and seasonal salad was delicious! Our service was fantastic and made great recommendations! The bathroom was small but clean! My only qualm was that the kids mac n cheese was Kraft... womp womp.... I would have expected something homemade from this place. We will definitely be back next time in Tiverton! read more

Went here with a large group back in October who all had different wants and cravings for dinner... Found this place and decided to give it a try! It's a nicely lit, clean restaurant with great service, I am amazed they were able to accommodate such a big party so quickly. The menu had quite the large variety of options and all looked quite good, they even had a seasonal menu! I sampled quite a few of everyone's dishes but only took pictures of what my partner and I ordered and WOW was it superb. The BEST macaroni I have had and an absolutely delicious cajun pasta. I tried their clam chowder as well and as someone who hates shellfish that was the best soup I've ever put in my mouth. Didn't taste fishy like all the chowder I tried around the Boston area (Though I think this is Rhode Island?) and was very flavorful and rich. There wasn't a single complaint around the table about the meal, price was reasonable, portions were good, flavor was perfect! I will make the trip again next time I am in the area. read more

My last review stated that Sakonnet River Grill had to do some serious work to redeem themselves. We got takeout a couple of times since then, and it was better, but tonight's takeout was amazing! Even on the ride home it smelled so good that I wanted to pull over and eat it right there! I decided on the Pirate's Cove Seafood Pasta. It was loaded with sea scallops, a ton of lobster, shrimp, and the most delicious lobster cream sauce! We all know that the worst thing about takeout is getting home with cold food. Not the case tonight, it was nearly hot enough to burn your mouth! So this takeout was probably the best seafood dish that I have had in a long time, and it was takeout on top of it all. Now I can say that I am truly looking forward to coming back here again! read more

Stopped in. on our way to Newport, so happy we did! Scored two bar seats, relaxed with a beer and tried to decide what to get for lunch. We started with the coconut shrimp and it did not disappoint, I had the tuna sriracha wrap with homemade potato salad, my husband had a grilled chicken sandwich on a nice fresh brioche roll with french fries, we both enjoyed everything completely, wish we lived closer. read more

Not too often I go to a restaurant that absolutely goes beyond my expectations!!!!! This restaurant was amazing. It's a very cozy casual relaxing atmosphere. The waitress was amazing, friendly, funny and had great timing with the food. I had the clam chowder. This chowder was in between a really thick chowder and thin broth chowder. I love thick chowder and to me the consistency of this chowder was excellent. Also all the ingredients were cooked great, the potatoes especially were pillowy soft but not mushy. It also was chocked full of super clean clams. The seasoning was spot on, I did not have to add any salt or pepper. The lobster roll was stuffed with good quality lobster meat . I also really liked their Cole slaw. Also for the portion sizes and the quality of the product prices were very reasonable. Not only would I go back for the food, but I would go back for the incredible service. read more

This is a very unassuming restaurant we stopped at for lunch on our way to do some hiking. It was the first time we had dined indoors since the pandemic had started and we felt comfortable and reassured. Our waitress was very friendly - she split everything for my sister and I when we said we would be sharing our dishes. The clam chowder was delicious and came with oyster crackers. We ordered the large portion but she split it nicely (we got extra) without uncharging us. The lobster rolls were also very plentiful and filly. Very fresh too. They made it easy to sub out the sides with the sandwiches as well which we appreciated. It was late lunch time on a weekday but there were still a few parties dining which is a testament to the quality of this restaurant. read more

First time here. Great food, awesome service! Will definitely be back. Kick back and fun atmosphere.

Nice hidden gem here! Everything here was excellent. We tried the fish sandwich, the scallop roll, and the Cajun pasta. I had ordered the chicken with the pasta, they had forgotten the chicken, but it was so delicious it didn't matter. Emma our server was a delight.

A local Tiverton spot with a warm and friendly atmosphere. This is our go-to when we really don't want to cook, and we want good food with a friendly vibe, and nice wine. My partner and I love to sit at the bar for drinks and enjoy their delicious steamed mussels and other appetizers. This place has 2 lovely bars, and cozy tables as well. This is a great place to meet friends for conversation, or even to just go alone and enjoy the friendly vibe at the bar! read more

I loved this place! At first the bartender seemed very quiet, and distant for a little bit but, ended up being very talkative not much longer after. The food was great... especially the maple sea scallops, which was perfectly made!

Nice decor and atmosphere, people dress casually. The services always been fine. We shared a dinner special the baked penne and calamari Mozambique. The penne was very good, served with sausage and peppers nicely baked. The calamari wasn't so good. The Mozambique I have had is usually spicy. This had no spice and was actually very oily. Overall a good place for a quiet meal, good portions and reasonably priced. In a strip mall with a parking lot. read more
