I recently had dinner at this restaurant and being a local resident was very disappointed. I have been a resident of this area for over 40 years. After returning from Florida for the winter we wanted to get a quick dinner. Everyone at the table ordered chowder and clam cakes. When I got my chowder the only thing in the bowl was the soup no potatoes, no clams nothing. I asked our server to please put some stock in the bowl and she returned with more soup and no stock. She explained that they make a big pot everyday and that was all they had. My wife's bowl had plenty of potatoes and clams . My last experience at this restaurant I ordered fish and chips and it was raw on the inside. This last experience was my last time giving this restaurant a chance. read more

This place is so great! I had an amazing experience with our server Mary, who was very accommodating as pleasant. She helped us navigate the menu and made good recommendations for drinks. Thanks Mary! read more

My family and I had a great dinner at Twin Willows. Great (and funny) service. Everyone enjoyed their food and beverages- Tropi Cannon on tap! Woo whoo. Will definitely be going back. read more

TW is doing an amazing job with outdoor dining. So glad its open and to be outside. Thank you to a great staff and great food. Following all the COVID rules and then some. Reilly gave us exceptional service. Thank you! read more

I've been coming here for over 35 years since i was just a kid. In that time this a lot has changed but it has never lost its charm as a friendly, inviting atmosphere. What has changed significantly is the food, popularity and age demographic. 20 years ago it was a middle aged crowd with excellent bar tenders and amazing food. Then the menu was reworked and some of their best options were either removed or quality dropped. You could see the disappointment in the lack of customers with just that regular crowd hanging on, now becoming elderly. But i am happy to say that the quality of the food seems to be bouncing back to its former glory and a new generation of bar staff are bringing it. I have always recommended this place if you're looking for a Cheers like bar with decent pub food and i still do. read more

The food is very good. Great beachy atmosphere. This just what your looking for after leaving the beach or just to hang out. Oh yea you realy should try a mert-burger. read more

Moved from Indiana to Narragansett in 1984. The Willows was the closest restaurant, and we went often over the ensuing years (can honestly say that I've been there hundreds of times since). For the last few years it seems that the prices keep going up and the quality of the food goes down. Tonight my wife and I decided instead of ordering pizza we'd try the Willows (its 3 min from our house). The bar had a good crowd but the tables were essentially empty (Saturday night at 7:30 pm!). There was a guitar player singing good tunes but VERY loud - so much that the server had to bend down and we had to shout our orders. The Bill Burger - median-well -- came more red than pink. It got sent back, and was pink when brought out again (but on a fresh bun!). My chicken parm was more than well done (dry and burnt), and the sauce tasted like it was out of a Sexton can (tasteless). I asked for some Parmesan cheese (never came), and some bread (a lump of 'hot garlic bread' finally arrived after I was half finished). Though we each finished only half our meals, we passed on the 'box' to take home the leftovers (that was a first for me!). We won't be back. read more

Stopped here for lunch and had a wonderful experience. The waitstaff was welcoming as soon as I arrived. Our server, Zac, was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. He was quick to grab our drinks, offer appetizers, and to take entree orders. It is always a pleasure to have a friendly server so we will hopeful sit with him again. The food was good. Nachos were tasteful and a good portion for two people. I had the Greek salad and it was fine. The other person in my party had the buffalo Mac and cheese and enjoyed it. read more

Based off of takeout. Heard some iffy reviews about this place but still wanted to try it out. The parking lot was super packed and people were walking in and out so we figured hey why not? All these people are here! - - - We ordered takeout while on vacation from LI. We arrived home and my burger had no bun. We asked for one burger with no bun and one with, since my mom is gluten free. My mom went inside in person to order. Not over the phone. My sister ordered chicken quesadillas and she only received a small cheese quesadilla. I wouldn't be that frustrated if the food was delicious but the burgers were so small and like hockey pucks. You can get a better & bigger quesadilla at Taco Bell. Drive the extra 10 minutes into town and go somewhere else. Not worth it. read more

Yesterday I ordered takeout it was a big ripoff!! One cup of Nee England Clam Chowder (no clams, no potato or onions) just broth. Terrible! Also ordered fried whole belly clam dinner. Get ready for this, about 13 clams and while they call it a dinner I have no idea because we I didn't receive any thing else but tarter sauce. No fries, potato salad or anything else! To top it off the bill was over $35.00. Never again total rip-off avoid this place!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

It was an amazing experience! Let me tell you something, this week my family and I went to Rathskeller. We had a horrible experience it was very disappointing. We all wished we went to Twin Willows instead. read more

I'm never disappointed when I come to Twin Willows - the service is always great and quick, and I've never had a problem with the food. I love the view of the water & there's plenty of seating and a large bar. Can't go wrong with the burgers, and I absolutely loved the chicken parmesan & shrimp linguine. Lastly, if you come here you HAVE to try their clam chowder! It's creamy, flavorful, and honestly the best around. read more

See all

We went for dinner tonight and sat outside. The service was good, and the food came out quickly. The good news is the Lobster rolls were fabulous, no filler, and reasonably priced for what you get! The calamari app was extremely disappointing, in a town which promotes its locally sourced calamari as the State's official appetizer. It was mediocre and very overpriced ($16) for a small portion, which included too many hot peppers, instead of an acceptable amount of calamari. The fish in the fish tacos was very good but the avocado was not ripe. Overall tonights experience is a 3.5/5. But I'd return tomorrow just for the lobster rolls and nothing else. read more

Been coming here off and on for decades. The food is still really good, but the drinks are now weak and overpriced. too many other places in Narragansett that know how to pour a decent drink-bye bye Willows! read more

WARNING: This restaurant is not handicapped-friendly! They have taken all of the handicapped parking spots and turned them into outdoor dining. It's quite a long walk from the parking lot to the door and then you have to continue on to another door. The manager seemed unconcerned about it and has no intention of giving up the area near the building. Don't go unless you can hike uphill! read more

Nice friendly feeling casual restaurant. You walk in and see a large bar that really looks like a fun locals hangout. Dinning room off to the side with seasonal outside dining. We started by enjoying a large, fresh and tasty wedge salad and Maine steamers. Wee also had bet battered fish and chips that came with fries. My husband felt the potatoes were a bit overcooked. The haddock was very good. read more

Twin Willows - Maine stramers - Seafood Near Me - Narragansett, Rhode Island

I've lived in Narragansett almost 3 years now and many friends and family have asked me if I've tried Twin Willows yet. I haven't until today.. everyone raved about their food.. and I ask "why?" I ordered takeout this afternoon. The girl that answered the phone seemed rushed. I get it. It was 60° today. Everyone and their mom was out today. I ordered a turkey carver sandwich. Online menu says it comes with bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, & cheddar jack cheese. I ordered it with no tomato and no mayo. When I got it home it had sautéed mushrooms, one piece of baby spinach and mayo.. no bacon. My husband ordered the black jack burger. It was supposed to come with bacon and it didn't. We ordered the nacho appetizer with no jalapeño... but what do you know, it had jalapeño. I called the restaurant and the girl (a different girl than the first) answered and she was so uninterested in anything I had to say. There was no apology, no nothing. We ate less than half of the $40 worth of food, and threw the rest out. I wouldn't ever recommend this restaurant to friends or family, and I will never go back or order from here again. read more

Visited yesterday and I'm happy to inform Chinese flu lost. Fish and chips still the greatest and we have clam chowder, the best I ever have! Zack the service was excellent. read more

Haven't gone out to dinner in many months because bringing my 3 kids is hectic. Our waitress Riley was phenomenal. She was so patient with the little ones and even caught my son's water before his elbow hit it. Turns out she's a softball player so it makes sense. She brought out our meals promptly and checked in multiple times. We couldn't love her enough! She is exactly the face this place needs. read more

For me this place has so many memories, my grandfather would take my twin sister and I every year for our birthday, so after his passing earlier this year my sister decided we should continue the tradition. When we arrived we were seated relatively quickly which was nice considering we were a party of 6. But as the time progressed, our server was okay until after our drinks came. After that refills were far and few between. We ordered wings to start, an order of the asian and Buffalo and they tasted just like they came from a bag, and definitely soggy. Finally after the wings were finished she came and took our meal order. Most of us got fish and chips, and burgers. I actually split the fish and chips and a burger with my sister. The fish and chips was okay, not too much flavor and crispy. The burger was horrible, over cooked and had no flavor. Overall, I would say this is a good place to meet up with friends after a URI game for a beer, but definitely don't expect top notch food! read more

Good beer. Nice view. Crappy set up. Definitely a townie place. Food is over priced for the quality. The fish and chips...ehhh HORRIBLE. Believe it or not, I could get better quality service and food from Applebees... definitely not saying much. The fries were inedible and burnt and the waitress had an awful, annoying voice (sorry). Definitely wont be stopping here again...there are better places to have a beer. read more

"The Willows" is famous for two things, the Lobster Roll and notoriously bad service. It can be kind of a madhouse in here 'round dinner time in the Summer. I've been kinda' bummed about the burgers lately (OK, for a couple of years now) since they stopped using a hand formed patty. The Mert Burger used to be my go to choice, best burger around, but not anymore. The Clam Cakes are often stellar, as long as you get them served up fresh and the Fish and Chips can be equally good. They serve the fish two ways, battered and with a breadcrumb crust, Tavern Style. Go with the latter. But my favorite dish is one I had today, the Scallop Roll. A light coating of the Tavern breadcrumb crust was the perfect crisp to the butter soft, fresh as can be, scallops. It didn't hurt that the scallops were spilled all over the plate, overfilling the hotdog bun by three or four times. Best meal yet, and I've been coming here for 20 years. They've also added Cottrell's Old Yankee to the taps, joining Harpoon Smithwicks, Newport Storm, ...its getting better. read more

Yup it is a townie place and you gotta love it. I am new to the area, but was told Twin Willows makes the best lobster roll. The natives were not wrong. Great Lobster Roll! Three of us went there for dinner on a Monday night. Cherly ordered Fish and Chips. It was a big portion. The fish was coated with a light batter nothing too greasy. Mark ordered the lobster roll and chowder. I stole a couple bites of the Lobster Roll, very tastey. Lobster meat was piled high and only lightly coated with mayo. (Always a plus in my book). I ordered the Philly Chicken wrap. I was completely surprised by how good it was. The chicken was flavorful and the cheese was melty and good. Twin Willows is a local bar. Nothing fancy just a nice place to have a pint. I hear that Thrusday-Saurday it is packed. read more

There are two summertime RI staples I order almost whenever possible. Most of the time, these staples can be a heartbreaking letdown when they don't live up to their potential, but for those rare bites of glory, I keep at it. I'm talking about: 1. The lobster roll 2. Clam cakes (dunked in chowder) Both are positively perfect at Twin Willows. Butter-grilled New England bun heaped with meat, just enough mayo to bind, celery, onion, pepper. The cakes are clam-erific and humongous without being too dense. Sadly, the steamed lobsters have proved inconsistent on separate visits. Hey, it's not worth a damn if your lobsters are fresh off the boat at Point Judith when you cook that little beast until it transforms into lobster flavored chewing gum. Great back deck with a view. Inside is dim and trapped in 1978, but I like it. The pub food and 22 oz. beers hit the spot as a cap off to a day in lovely Narragansett. read more

If you are looking for a good location down by south county, this place might suffice. Unfortunately if you are looking for really good food, service or atmosphere you'll probably want to go somewhere else. The shining star of this establishment is its prime location, if you live or are in the area of south county and just want a local bar/grill without overcrowding, this place might fit the bill. Unfortunately my wife and I have become spoiled with Yelp and the large selection of mouth watering eateries in New England and the slow service and mediocre food killed this place for us. Even the stuffed burger manages to come out over cooked, underwhelming and slightly over priced. If you're in a pinch this place is clean and serves food, but if you're looking for something special I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I don't often write a review unless I can compliment a business; not this time. I am along in years and I visited your estlabment yesterday along with friends and family. We waited OVER 2 hours for our food. What was very hurtful was when another couple came in much later than we had and they were served in no more than 10 minutes. That was discusting but that wasn't the iceing quite yet. The iceing came when our food was served. Our food was COLD. That isn't the way I liked my fried clams, thank you. When I asked to speak to a manager I was told none was on duty....I will be quite surprised if I ever dine, I guess you could call it that, there again. I live in Bonnet Shores, year around, so I'm one of the people that used to keep you in business in the winter months. I really do hope you miss my business. read more

We went in with a group of four on a Saturday night. We weren't greeted for 5 minutes and once we were sat down, nobody ever came to serve us. We walked out after 20 minutes. We didn't get to try the food and will never go back due to the lack of service. read more

I am a visitor to the east coast from Chicago, so landing in Rhode Island was like seafood heaven. Fish EVERYWHERE. Lobster rolls, crab cakes, lobster...I made a goal to eat some form of seafood delight for every meal. In my journey, I fell in love with the Clam Cake. Part breading, part clam...a true delicacy in my book. I picked up half a dozen clam cakes from here twice in my visit, and my mouth yearns for them now as I write this review. Oh yeah, they make a mean salmon sandwich as well. read more

I really wanted to like Twin Willows. As a local to the South County area I had gone there WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before my Yelping days. Honey & I were looking to go someplace new for lunch & just wanted to try something differnet. After driving around for 1/2 an hour, we decided TW was our place. We go in & sit at the bar. Menus put in front of us promptly...k, we are off to a good start! We order up some drinks, menu looks good, takes us a while to decide what to have because everything sounds good. There are probably 9 or 10 other people at the bar, no one at the tables that I can see. We place our order, I get a stuffie & the Bourbon Street Burger, Honey gets the Fish sandwich. The stuffie came out 1st, it was hot & delish!! Now as we are sitting & waiting for the rest we see the cook come out from the back. He is wearing a home made T shirt that says "Balls Deep" on it....WOW, tiny bit inappropriate! We get our food & try to erase that memory of his T shirt from our minds (we are not prudes AT ALL, but that is certainly not work attire!!!!) My burger is cooked perfectly, fries were a bit greasy. Honey liked his fish sandwich. We are asked how everything was, replied good & then were ignored...were not asked if we needed more drinks, were still ignored when we are done & crumpled up napkins are on our empty plates. Mind you, the bartender was speaking to another customer that was sitting RIGHT near us, and her boyfriend who had come in for lunch too. He was sitting a few stools down to the right of me. So we are smack dab in between the 2 people she keeps going back & forth talking to.....ignored, ignored, ignored. Un-flipping-believable! When she finally decided to ask if we were all set, she didn't even make eye contact. Handed us our check & said "thanks" as she walked away to go speak with boyfriend somemore. Needless to say she got a shitty tip. *******I know someone that works here & spoke to her about it. Apparently this girl works on Wednesdays only...so avoid Twin Willows on that day! I will go back & hope for better service, the food was good. read more

Outstanding Steamers. Great service. The whole belly clams were small (expected at this time of year) but they were flavorful and not all breading. I have never understood the fixation with stuffies in this state. Twin Willows may have the best stuffy I have ever eaten. Normally they are all bread, these were outstanding clams and sausage. A great meal, with great service, and all at a reasonable price read more

3.5 stars. Food tasted good, but the wait was long and the service wasn't awesome. Had lunch here today with friends. The restaurant was busy, but not full, and the service was very slow. It took the waitress too long to take our drink order and then we waited over 40 minutes for our food. I had the fish sandwich and it was very good. It tasted great and spilled out from the already large bun. The tartar sauce seemed homemade and had dill in it. The only problem with my meal is that the menu said it came with fries and cole slaw, but it only came with fries. My friend had the advocate burger and she was very happy with it. Her husband also had a burger, which he tasted good, but he didn't like that his was smaller than his wife's. read more

Have been in a bunch of times during the last year...and I keep going back. Service is fast and friendly at the bar. A pretty wide menu with both pub fare and healthy dose of seafood. The portion size is big with the prices reasonable (not cheap...but good for the quality and quantity you get) The vibe aims for a clean comfortable local pub...and it hits the mark. I like this place. read more

Food has gone way down hill. Portions very small - not accommodating for a request of putting 2 tables together for a birthday party- very disappointed with food and service! read more

no question about it. If you want real, good food, Willows is it. The bar is almost as long as the building - which is pretty wide. There are some views out the back over Bonnet Shores, depending on the fog situation, the season (leaves ON or OFF of the trees) etc. Burgers are great - big & juicy and certainly more than enough. The fries are handmade and usually super greasy - which makes them that much more of a fantastic bite. Seafood is good there too, but when I think of great burgers in South County - Willows is it. Grab a pitcher of beer, a Billburger, and chill out watching the games. read more

A necessary evil. Clam cakes not with a ton of clams. Chicken wings not 100% cooked through. Staff that's good and not attentive. I did like it though. The batter for the clam cakes was good. I wanted more clams, that's all. The wings good, Just wanted them cooked all the way through. Beer fine. Male manager / bar food runner was on top of things. Bar back watched tv to much. Women bartenders all good. Price was right. Bar pizza was great. I'll return but they need to up their game. read more

Nice local bar. Food is very affordable. I love that its family owned. Not a five star restaurant but the place doesnt pretend to be by charging expensive prices. Every bottle of wine is under 40 bucks. We went with 4 of us Food wise : table had white clam chowder, red clam chowder, and clam cakes for appetizers. Everyone enjoyed it. Clam cakes were kinda small but for 3 bucks, who would complain. The dinner entrees were surf &turf (weird combo of fried shrimp and steak), salmon, cod, and linguine with clams. Everyone enjoyed their meal. It doesnt have a "wow" factor to its meals but its perfect for a night out with friends. Had a bottle of wine, beer, and some rum and cokes. Total bill for table was 140. Now thats a deal! And the place is always busy which gives for a lively atmosphere read more

This place seems to be the hot spot, upbeat and extremely busy but it sucks! It's so busy that I had to find a server so we could order drinks and food, after we've been seated by the hostess. The portions are small but they have an abundance of flies! They were all over me and my food, and I'm talking about indoor dining. I ordered surf and turf 1/2 lobster tail! (Lol!) and the 4oz(only)Filet was supposed to be cooked medium but it was very rare and I couldn't find my waitress to notify her after sitting there for 15 minutes hoping she would return and since it was not edible for me nor the lack of AC tolerable, I hunted down someone to pay my bill and left hungry. read more

Mixed feelings. I came here for lunch with my husband today, we walked in and sat at one of the tables near the bar. We then proceeded to wait 15 minutes to come to realize that no one was coming over to us to take our order. I had to get up and go to the bar and ask why, the bartender then proceeded to explain you had to go to the bar to order even if you sit at the tables. HUH? A courtesy would have been to maybe let us know that as you saw us sitting there the whole time with no drinks or food in front of us. Kinda rude. Anyway, after that a waitress came over to take our order. I got the corned beef Ruben, which was amazing! Probably the best I've ever had. Hence the mixed feelings. read more

If you are looking for a good solid seafood meal and plan on washing it down with a couple of beers, Twin Willows is your place to go. Based on the pictures on the walls, this place has been around for years. Can't really argue with the fact that when a place has been around in the same location for so long, they have to be doing something right. In this case, it is good seafood at an affordable price. The reason I cannot give "The Willows" a full five stars is that it isn't exactly a terrific, five star atmosphere. It is outdated inside (think 70's themed wood paneling) and the bathrooms have a bad odor. Despite this, it is a fun place to hang out and watch the game while eating good food. I frequent Twin Willows approximately twice a month. read more

I still like the food at the Willows but they changed up the menu. Bad move. No more Steak Bombs. Might have been the most popular item on the menu. A lot of stuff missing from the old menu...so bummed. But the Lobster Roll increased by $1.00 and also increased in size from the hotdog bun to a split roll and it's huge! It tastes ok too. Sometimes the specials are a very nice treat i.e. the Ultimate Prime Rib Dip..oooooh very nice. I also like the Fried Fish (Fish and Chips) with the Fried Clams w/ bellies combination. Two of my favorite single menu items now combined. read more
