    My friends and I stopped by here for Sunday brunch. The wait can be long so I suggest going early if you can. We each got the bottomless coffee and we all thought it was the worst finer coffee we've ever had. It tasted like brown water. Our waitress never asked to fill it up again but we wouldn't have wanted it anyway. I got the spicy monkey breakfast burrito with turkey bacon and it was ok. The home fries were the star of the show and perfectly spiced and salty.

    Monkey bread so yummy!!

    First of all this place was basically just like a hole in the wall small little breakfast spot nothing big. The atmosphere was awesome fun environment. The service was great very attentive waitress, and you cannot leave without ordering the monkey bread. Hands-down best meal I had it was so yummy. I wish I would've ordered one to go.

    Great breakfast spot. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on a bagel with bacon egg and cheese. It was so good. Totally hit the spot. Parking on the street in front. Small diner vibe. One restroom in back. Good service.

    We've eaten here before and we continue to perform our, "is it as good as it used to be" test. They pass with flying colors. The ambiance screams "local,casual" and it's such a good feeling. The ability to walk in and sit right down reminds me of why we love Newport in the winter. As cool as all of that is, the food continues to be the star. The pancakes are arguably the most flavorful I've had. The hash is excellent! The special was a Churro Stuffed French toast. Oh man! So rich. Staff is friendly as always!

    I forgot to take a picture of the best thing on the menu which is the monkey bread to start off your breakfast. If you go it's an absolute must to share with on the table. We went on December 31st so it was a long wait and they made everyone stand outside. That wasn't my favorite thing on a chilly day and I would plan accordingly going back in the winter. The pancakes were good as was the bacon but the omelette wasn't anything special and definitely not worth the super long wait. This is a well known diner in Newport and the Monkey bread alone is worth the visit but be prepared for a wait on weekends.

    So good!!!!!! Felt like home made food and everything tasted amazing. It was what we wanted and then tasted even better!

    I love this place. Usually, never a wait, depending on the time you get there. They can fill up and pick up quickly. Usually, anytime before 8, you're good. The service is great. Servers are friendly and always have a smile. Especially mariana. Have to say she does it all. I had her both times I was there. Quick , to get you ordered and situated. Running orders making coffee. Topping off your coffee when needed. She remembers her customers from what I see. So when I went to pay I told her it was my last day there. Told her I would be back in Oct. Thank you for the service. She was kind to inform me that there is a food festival that is coming up before my next visit. Which is great seeing as I love good. So now I have looked into that and will have to make an extra trip before October, which is not an issue, seeing as I love the food in that area.

    This restaurant was the perfect distance away from downtown and wasn't jam packed with tourists. They have ample seating and customers are encouraged to sit wherever you like. They have a large breakfast and lunch menu, most meals are around $10 and the portions are generous. The wait staff were friendly and prompt. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to others.

    Delicious!

    The food was delicious! I had the Greek omelet, turkey bacon, and the famous stuffed sweet French toast with bananas! Amazing! It's a must-have! The ambiance was family-oriented and nice, but the service could have been better!

    Exceptional Service - Newport Sandwich Company…read more I cannot say enough great things about Newport Sandwich Company and the owner, Kevin Sullivan. I was out of state and wanted to surprise my daughter with a grinder platter, and Kevin truly went above and beyond to make it happen. It was a last-minute request, and Kevin still took the time to put everything together and personally deliver it. To make things even more impressive, there was a huge parade happening in town, which could have easily made delivery impossible. Instead, Kevin planned ahead and brought it earlier so he could get through the crowds and make sure my daughter still received the surprise. My daughter was so ecstatic and happy when she got it. Moments like that mean so much, especially when you're far away and trying to do something special for your child. The food was amazing, but what stood out even more was the kindness, dedication, and customer service Kevin showed. Businesses like this are what make a community special. If you're in the area, I highly recommend Newport Sandwich Company. Thank you, Kevin, for going the extra mile and making my daughter's day so special!

    We just had another fabulous dinner at Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant--our second time dining here…read moresince last fall, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We arrived a little early for our 4:00 p.m. reservation, and the place was already packed. While we waited by the bar, a very nice waitress took our drink order--a lemon drop martini, beautifully crafted, well-balanced, and pleasantly strong. We were seated shortly after and, of course, ordered another. (Both times, I took several sips before remembering to take a photo!) Our waitress, Mikela, was truly lovely--sincere, sweet, and very courteous. She was attentive throughout the meal without ever being intrusive, which made the experience feel relaxed and effortless. At the end, I told her I wished I could give her 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. For dinner, we both ordered the seared rare ahi tuna steak. I had mine with garlic bread, while my husband chose mashed potatoes. I also added the $9.95 salad buffet, which is such a great deal--you definitely won't leave hungry. I especially love their buffet-style salad bar, which offers nearly every option one could want. Both of our ahi tuna steaks were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Once again, I dug into my tuna before remembering to take a photo! We finished the meal with a cheesecake to share--another delicious ending to a wonderful dinner. We're already planning our next visit--there are still so many dishes and drinks we'd love to try.

Our waiter was kind, attentive, and very patient with us as we managed two hangry kids. One employee who was on break even helped me find a quiet spot to take a work call which I really appreciated. The kids' meal came out almost immediately. My son got the cheeseburger, and I was surprised by how big it was. It was adult sized, and he enjoyed and finished all of it. The mussels were the standout of the meal and the best I've personally had. They were incredibly fresh with no fishy smell and the broth was so flavorful. The bread that came with it was perfect for soaking up every last bit of the broth. The salmon was very fresh and cooked well. The shrimp scampi was also really good. The clam chowder was an 8 out of 10 for me. Not the best I've ever had but definitely one of the better ones. Pricing was mid range and felt fair for the quality of the food and the portions. Overall, we were really happy with the meal. Great service, fresh seafood, generous kids' portions, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back, especially for the mussels.

We asked the server for the check since we need to leave soon after to make it on time for an event, and she gave us the check, and some to-go containers in case we needed it, which was very considerate! The appetizer were solid, good, but you MUST try the ramen. Spicy ramen was worth it if you need a good hangover soup or super chilly, or just want to sweat~ the egg and corn pieces were such soothing ingredients ~ Will be back for sure, even if the drive and parking is a hassle. Street parking is the way to go, and be ready for a walk~

We had parked at a lot nearby for $20 a day and walked over for our event, but there is also a lot right in front of the Mooring - I believe it is paid parking but maybe it gets validated (?), not sure. Anyways, when we walked in, it gave me Titanic vibes because of the semi dim lighting, nautical theme, the water across building, and white, brown, and copper colors all around. We were seated at a table inside, part booth, part chairs. Since it was late, I did not want anything too heavy. We started with 4 shrimp which were big and juicy and came with cocktail sauce/horseradish. Next, we shared the calamari. I was happy with the flavor, crispiness, the almost 1:1 ratio of rings to tentacles, and the scattered pieces of fried banana peppers (my favorite!). The sauce it came with tasted homemade and I love that it was more than just tomatoes - there were pieces of herbs and garlic too. The entrees we ordered came soon after: the chicken ($25) and the whole roasted fish ($39). The chicken plate looked and tasted fantastic. The chicken was well seasoned with a solid crispy finish to the skin. The mashed potatoes were very smooth and tasty and the broccolini was lightly cooked in what seemed to be a buttery sauce. The sauce on the outside was spectacular and so was the chimichurri over the chicken. Everything came together really well. The baked fish on the other hand seemed to be the complete opposite where everything did taste fresh and healthy, but that meant compromising flavor. The fish (porgies) was about 8 inches long including head and tail. It was stuffed with some herbs, but it didn't come with any sauce or seasoning. The fingerling potatoes were also just roasted and the broccolini just steamed or roasted with no trace of salt or pepper at the bare minimum. The salad was arugula and I think it might've had thin shavings of jicama, but no dressing. I was disappointed with my meal because of the lack of flavor and creativity; I wished I had ordered the seafood pasta, but it felt too heavy for the time of day. For the ambiance and prestige, I felt the prices were okay. The service is great; we had a kind and attentive waiter.
