Trotter Sandwich
Gina M.

It was just ok - high prices for a sandwich that was more like a cafeteria sandwich. Suggestion of higher quality bread offerings, cutting the sandwich and adding salt/pepper, prompting for any additions to the sandwiches so the offerings don't feel so basic.

Turkey sandwich (minus the veggies).

On my latest trip to Rhode Island, I was looking for a great place to grab a sandwich and eat in the car near the ocean (since it was winter). The place is picked out wasn't open and I luckily remembered I'd seen The Salty General in a magazine. My mom and I popped in and were greeted warmly by the owner. The menu is small but you can customize the sandwiches. They have a great selection of chips and also fresh brownies! There isn't seating but it's so close to Narragansett Town Beach, it fit exactly what I was looking for! I choose a Turkey sandwich on a soft sub roll and a bag of spicy dill chips. The owner recommended the flavor and they were delicious (especially if you love putting some chips inside your sandwich like I do). My mom got the tuna sandwich and regular chips. We got a brownie to share. I'm not joking when I say this may be the best sub sandwich I've eaten! The ingredients tasted so fresh and it was the perfect ratio of meat, cheese, bread, and condiments. My mom said the same thing about her tuna salad, which surprised me since she's very picky about it. The sandwiches on sub rolls were large enough that we ate half for lunch and wrapped up the other half-- which was perfect since we did a lantern walk in Newport and were hungry again afterwards! We deeply regretted not getting our own brownies.... And a few extra to take home. They were so fudgy, exactly how you want a decadent brownie and with a touch of sea salt on top to balance the sweetness. We honestly tried to work another visit into our schedule the next day but we were heading back to NY and just didn't have time. It will definitely be our "go-to" place on future trips. I highly recommend visiting, not only because the sandwiches are amazing but I love that it's a small, family-owned business. I wish I'd taken a few more pictures of the restaurant and the food but ... I was super hungry! Next time, I'll make sure to better document the visit!

These are amazing sandwiches in Narragansett!! We will be back again soon to try more!

We went this place several times for brunch after Surfing. This time we came after a race and it…read morewas the perfect fuel I needed after that 5K! I love the outdoor seating. What more could you want than Mexican brunch and outdoor seating? They're always quick to greet us when we get there and let us choose where we want to sit. I love that! Inside is really nice, although we've never chosen to sit there because we're usually down in this area during the summer. I had the Huevos Rancheros. I love the way they serve theirs with the fresh avocado, and the black beans on the side with the cojita cheese. Everything is always cooked perfectly and not overly seasoned. Staff is always very attentive. One of my go tos the Narragansett area. I would definitely recommend trying this if you like authentic Mexican food!

This is my first time at agave social. It's decorated very pretty and I love the colors and flowers…read moreall around. I'd say it has really good ambience. The bathrooms were very clean, but the tile is a little bit slippery. I was using a cane and was having trouble getting a grip on the floor. We had really good service, our waitress was attentive and either the manager or owner came around to check on how we were doing. So I really appreciated that. The food itself was not my favorite, which is why this is a three star review. The Birria was OK, but it definitely needed more flavor which could have been helped by more cheese, onions and cilantro. I also think they need another type of hot sauce because I was looking for something a little bit of a kick to add to my Birria and they only had a very very mild sauce. The rice was fine and I ordered some refined beans for additional protein, which were OK. Definitely not my favorite but the texture was good. The flavor wasn't my favorite but I can't actually describe what I didn't like about it. So that's not very helpful, sorry all. The margarita was the biggest disappointment and I should have brought it to the staff's attention because they did ask how everything was tasting and I just didn't realize it first how much I hated it. So that is totally on me. It was passionfruit, but I think they must use some type of nectar like a Goya brand which really doesn't have a ton of passionfruit flavor. Maybe I'm used to more artificial passionfruit juice but usually a passionfruit margarita has more of a yellow orange color and has a lot more flavor but this margarita margarita was on the bitter side, and whatever tequila was used really hurt my stomach. I didn't drink most of it because I just couldn't finish it. I would probably come back to give it another try because the service and ambience were good and I didn't outright hate the food, but I think I'd order something completely different.
