The Shanty is one of those places I don't go to nearly enough and I really need to change that…read more I was specifically craving hand-cut fries and theirs did NOT disappoint. I got the Big Ol' Burger and it was so good. Cooked perfectly, the special sauce was delicious and as you can probably tell from the photo, the fries were exactly what I was looking for. Everything tastes really fresh here. It has that farm-to-table quality, but in a relaxed, laid-back (but still really pretty) setting. We came for lunch and I loved that they had brunch options too. We didn't get any adult beverages but I was very tempted by the entire drink menu, so next time! Our service was also outstanding. Really everything was A+. Definitely a local spot that I need to remember to go to more often.

In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

Always so so delicious. I'm grateful that my old regular-menu favorite that has since been…read morediscontinued, the Guac Chik Burger, is still available now as a special! I swapped the Cilantro Aioli for their PCX sauce to keep it as close to the original recipe I remember as possible. The bun had a slightly sweet, buttery flavor and was perfectly fluffy. The chikn patty was crunchy and satisfying as always. The guac felt a little store bought instead of fresh, but I appreciate that it isn't super onion-y. The lavender flavor in the iced coffee is a perfect, herbal lavender flavor that is not very sweet but just enough. I'm a little bummed their dining room closes earlier these days - 7 pm most days - so from 6-7 you'll see staff cleaning the dining room and closing up, which feels a little early and sometimes makes me feel like I need to rush out, even when it's only 6:15 pm. Still my all time favorite spot and I'm so glad they're here in RI!

Between the cozy tavern space, the great craft drink menu, and that distinct "hidden retreat" vibe, it really turns a standard dinner into an experience. It's the kind of place where you can easily get lost in conversation while exploring a great menu. The service was great and the staff are very attentive. there's plenty of parking but the lot gets full by early evening as the restaurant is popular.

They even let the flower company come in before I got there and set up all of the flower displays and bouquets for my birthday, which made everything feel so special. The staff was absolutely amazing, respectful, and so accommodating. They really will do anything they can within reason to make sure you have a great experience. The menu definitely has more of a Mediterranean feel, which personally isn't my favorite type of food, but they were still super accommodating to what I wanted and needed. And the drinks are STRONG definitely not stingy with those! Between the atmosphere, the staff, and how accommodating they were for my birthday, I would absolutely go back. Such a cool place for a special occasion!

Then for $.75 extra, I added hot cherry pepper relish. The meats were decently tender, and not chewy, but they all lacked flavor. More grilling or marinade could've been used. My dish was saved by their spicy mayo and their delicious relish. I am also taking away one star because of the ridiculousness of charging $.75 for every topping. Charging an extra $.75 each for lettuce, tomato, olives, cucumbers, pickles, etc. Really? That's absurd.

However, reality was not on my side. For a $6 up charge, it was definitely not worth it. The duck was so old and dry that I found it inedible and 90% of the duck went right into the trash. The noodles, on the other hand, were on point. They were chewy and flavorful, and the vegetables were crisp, but also tender. The next time I get this dish, I would definitely stick to the dish with vegetables only.

I trekked to E.G (R..-iese) and tried not to buy every one of them, I did leave a few if you want to try them. Now, as to the store. What a delightful place, plenty of handmade local products, some grocery items geared to gluten free, vegetarian and conscientious people. The store is spotless and manned or womanned by some very friendly of a certain age women, that appeals to me immensely, but I could be biased. (side note: I saw their email and wrote them for proof they did indeed have the beloved Bolani and they promptly wrote back letting me know when they would be in stock.)

The front door was broken and we kept trying to open it after clearly seeing people inside and making eye contact with the bartender. No one helped us for about 5 minutes until we really knocked.

We had to keep flagging down the server to do anything like order food, get more drinks, more water, etc. I'm hoping this was just an off night because the food was good!

I've brought my infant daughter a number of times and she loves toddling around making friends. The vibe is welcoming, the staff - especially the owner - is incredibly kind and there are so many homey touches to the decor. Other local businesses are used wherever possible (tea, pastries, etc). Coffee is... Yes. Really fun, funky and delicious seasonals, spot on regular bevvies that can accommodate many different tastes. I've tried the bagels with homemade cream cheese (yum) and a pastry or two (also yum). Haven't given that toasts or oatmeal a whirl yet but they all look great. All in all, The Nook is perfect and I always look forward to spending time here. Stay awesome.
