Windjammer Surf Bar - Shrimp Po Boy-Fish Sandwich-Cold Lobster Rolls - Sports Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

It was nice sitting on the patio, if you want beachfront dining then this place has that. I had a quesadilla and it was loaded with chicken, but it was very greasy to the point it was dripping, it was tasty though. I had a crispy chicken sandwich with tater tots, the tots were tasty though nothing special, they put two huge pieces of chicken on the sandwich, visually the sandwich was great, the taste did not equal its visuals, the chicken was bland and had little flavor, it was like eating flavorless battered chicken. The service was meh, nothing special, not very welcoming, we asked to move our seats because a speaker was blasting in our ears, our server was accommodating, in our new section the server seamed annoyed that we sat in her section, guess there isn't alot of communication at this place. I had a piña colata and it was like $11 or $12, a little pricey my eyes but it at least tasted as if it had liquor in it. Overall for 3 drinks, 2 chicken sandwich meals, and some quesadillas it was $75, pricey in my eyes for mediocre at best. Kudos to them for the Piña Colada at least. Oh and watch out for seagulls, one snuck and ate my quesadillas. read more

If you are expecting a 5 star restaurant out of this place, keep looking because all you will find in the Misquamicut beach area is beach bars serving bar food which is exactly what this place is. Not only is it directly on the beach overlooking the waves, it is a big place with an outside deck and live music some nights with an indoor and outdoor bar and plenty of seating on the outside deck. The service is indeed slow but it gives you more time to sip on the creative cocktails this place serves up. Watered down or not, these are pretty tasty drinks and of course they have margaritas and frozen drinks as well and tons of beer selections. The menu here is actually pretty good, tons ob lobster entrees, fish and chips, nachos, quesadillas and burgers. The prices are not too high and the place is actually pretty good. Lots of mixed clientele here with at times some over served people. read more

Enjoyed the atmosphere being just on the beach. The beers/drinks were cold and the music (live) was good. We decided to have lunch there since the kids wanted to ride the waves. Tried the local oysters which were nice and cold. We had the clam fritters which the boys thought were clam cakes. I had the crab cake sandwich which was nice and spicey. Amanda had the fish and chips which were cooked perfectly. My only real complaint was the slow service. Our waitress was great but you can tell she was extremely busy. read more

Hands down best wings my family and I have ever had! A table of 4 of us ordered two of the bucket drinks a order of nachos and an order of wings. Wings were by far a 10/10 I highly recommend the buffalo flavor. Out waitress Kaeli suggested them and I am so glad she did! Prefect location, service was quick and friendly, parking was super easy and the view is amazing!!!! Definitely will be back. read more

Got there and hardly pulled into the parking area and two rude, I guess parking attendants were there. She said "that will be $10 for parking", so my friend said "we are not going to the beach we are eating here". Rude attendant says "hey you can go to another restaurant down the strip and it will be $10 at any of them". So we called the restaurant and the really nice girl we had spoken to on the drive there confirmed we had reservations and that we didn't have to pay for parking. So I go back to the rude parking attendants and told them we had a reservation. She said "well you should have said that to begin with". We got a seat outside and had a beautiful view of the ocean. Our waiter was great and service was good (that's why I gave two stars) I called and complained to the manager about this parking issue and he said he would have a talk with them. About dogs at a restaurant, I'd rather barking then screaming kids. read more

We had an 8pm reservation for 2 on a Saturday night. We showed up a little early and were told that they'd call my cell when our table was ready. We grabbed a drink and sat outside. At 8:20, counting 4 open tables within sight, we went back to the hostess who told us it would be another 20 mins and that there were no tables available, per her iPad. Not worth the hassle and nonsense. We left. read more

As locals, this is by far our favorite seaside place to meet up with friends for a drink. Often there's entertainment on the patio and always a nice crowd. Just grab an Adirondack chair and kick up your feet as you take in the view and relax! read more

Windjammer Surf Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

See all

Music so loud you could not talk among friends at table. The lobster roll was all claw meat with no butter or seasoning tasted like rubber. Waitress was very good and nice. read more

We went for lunch today and we were unimpressed. One of us had the Nashville chicken sandwich and it was soaked in oil and the breading was heavy and extremely greasy. It was on Texas toast which was barely toasted and so buttery I couldn't eat it. The fish and chips was equally disappointing since the fish was over cooked and the breading was extremely thick and overly greasy and heavy. The service was non existent as well since the waitress never even asked how the food was. She should have asked why our plates were still full. The only good thing was the gorgeous view. Wouldn't go back for food only drinks. read more

We found this place by accident. We were a party of 16 and had made a reservation at another restaurant that had kept a hungry family waiting for over an hour to be seated. My husband took a chance and called the Windjammer Surf Bar to see if they could seat us and they said yes! We were there in less than 15 minutes. They had our table ready for us upon arrival and they never missed a beat. The service was great! The food was great! They even had live entertainment that we were a little early for. We wanted to come back and listen to the music but the boys were just a little too young to be left alone yet and the rest of our family was heading home the next day. We have every intention of returning to Rhode Island and most definitely the Windjammer surf bar. Thanks for a great experience! Lanexa, Va read more

This is a pretty cool bar we stumbled upon whilst visiting Westerly. It is right on the water, you can literally sit feet away from the waves. Even on a stormy night it was very cool, I can't imagine what the views would be like on a nice sunny day. They had a band playing too and there was no cover to get in which is always good! They didn't have an amazing selection of beer from what I could see, which is a little disappointing considering the area they are in but we all agreed we would definitely go back again as we had a lot of fun! read more

Wonderful view of Beach !! Food was good and friendly service ! Took a long time to get my food , and everyone around us who was sat after us got their food before us . read more

The atmosphere in itself gets 5 stars! Great drink menu. This restaurant is also dog friendly which is a huge perk! Some nice options on their menu as well. Will absolutely be back! read more

I was hesitant to write a review of the Windjammer because it is my favorite beach bar in Westerly. I love going here, day and night! During the day this bar is great because they have 40 or so Adirondack chairs lined up against the wall so that you can relax, maybe have a cocktail and enjoy the view. I go to the beach alone sometimes and always feel safe relaxing at the Jammer by myself with some magazines. During the day they usually have a DJ or an acoustic band. They also almost always have alcohol promotions so you can get a free t shirt with your bud light lime :) At night, Jammer usually has live music. Sugar (excellent local band) plays a couple of times a summer and it is a lot of fun to get on the dance floor. Another perk about the Wind Jammer is the prices... though they certainly aren't cheap they are the most reasonable on the beach. read more

I had never made a yelp review before but this experience was so awful I thought it was necessary so here we go: My friends and I had recently turned 21 (some were visiting out of state) and decided to go out to celebrate all the quarantine birthdays we missed. We came here first to start a little westerly bar crawl, with a designated driver of course. First, the server questioned all of our IDs which was perfectly fine, then she goes and gets a security guard who asks for our IDs once more. He then leaves with our IDs to check them with the flashlight. He comes back very rude and honestly proud of the fact that he THOUGHT our real IDs were fakes. He says and I quote, "I'm gonna be straight with you guys I know these are all fake, so you can leave or call the cops to come check them." We said they were not fake and asked to have them back so we could leave and go to another place (at this point we were very annoyed and didn't want to even be there anymore). He then said he was not going to give them back until the police checked them and we had to leave the restaurant. After being kicked out and standing in the parking lot, I called the westerly police department and was on hold for 20 minutes. At this point I said I am literally on hold with the police who seem busy tonight, and asked the security guard if we could just leave with our IDs so we didn't have to bother them. He said no and so we continued waiting for the police. Finally an officer came and was very friendly to us, given the fact that why would people with a fake ID actually call the police ??! He then went up to the security guards and asked why they thought our IDs were fake. One said it was because it was a New Jersey ID (so people from NJ can't go to RI???) and another was because the "graphics were off" on the new CT one. Basically they have absolutely no idea what a real ID looks like and treated us like little kids trying to underage drink. The cop gave our IDs back of course and apologized for our inconvenience. We said sorry we even had to bother you for this. The security guards did not apologize to us at all. It was such a horrible experience and I wouldn't recommend younger looking people to go there since you might have to call the cops to get your ID back!!! Go to Malted Barley instead, we went there after and had an amazing time :)) read more

This place is a joke. Way too overpriced for the most average food I've ever had. Service was terrible. DO NOT GO HERE

I frequent the windjammer in the summer with my family. I love the environment. It is always up beat and plays great music and often has live bands. The food is pretty good quality, very tasty and reasonable prices for a beach side bar. Cleanliness is were I think they could be better but it is hard with a lot of traffic and the being beach side so it's understandable. Definitely recommend and will be coming back for the wide variety of fruity summer drinks. read more

Foolproof beer, clam fritters, lobster roll and tuna tacos. Out of them all the beer might have been the standout. The tacos were very good, the lobster roll was completely acceptable but the clam fritters could have been better. There was very little clam in the fritter and they were a bit more chewy than I usually like. They were a good size and temperature and the fritter part tasted like nice fried breading but not much if any clam taste. Service was slow and inattentive but that's the beach in the summer. I would come back. Nice beach views, cold beer and the food wasn't horrible. read more

good food but the staff absolutley sucks. kicked us out because we were acting drunk? yikes. Will avoid at all cost

My friends and I came up to the Westerly area for vacation. We had a table for 10 with a reservation. We were seated on time, and our waitress came over in a timely manner. We ordered drinks and appetizers. When ordering, the first 4 things we requested they were "all out of". So we ordered some other things that they apparently had. Got our appetizers about 45 min later. After an hour and a half wait, we asked where our food was, and our waitress said she checked and we were next to get ours. 10 minutes after that, she came back out to tell one of the people in our group that they were out of her meal as well. After waiting for an hour and being told we were next, we find out that they were out of her meal. This was the most absurd restaurant experience I've had. Definitely don't recommend. read more

Stay away! We never even made it into the building. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot some clown told us we had to pay $20 TO PARK TO EAT IN THE RESTAURANT! No place is with that. read more

Terrible. Just terrible. Place a was dump. The crowd was absolutely.... Well... I said I feel like we're in the show ozark with what was walking around. At one point during the evening there was a dog fight lol. It's dog friendly which means you have the ozark type crowd bringing pit bulls and the rich bringing they're little toy dogs it's a recipe for disaster. Now besides the circus the food and service was worse... The waiter was nice but I'm pretty sure was on drugs, we went at 430 on a Saturday, and didn't get food until almost 6. It took FOREVER. I should have known we were in the wrong place when it's 1 waiter and 9 security guards with ear pieces like the FBI lol when the food finally came it was laughable. I didn't know mashed potatoes could be that color. It was like grey/brown goo I've never seen a potato look like that. The $30 ribeye steak was pan fried, and the salad was warm because everything was under the lights for an hour. Great place for a knife fight by the water, but maybe eat somewhere else. read more

As a "local" the Windjammer is my go-to beach bar. It seems to not be as crowded or have a cover like Paddy's & the Andrea. I've had food on the patio before but it wasn't anything spectacular. It's cheap beach food so don't expect much. I come to drink during the night like a tourist which is what most people reading these reviews are looking for. I only drink beer so I can't comment on the mixed drinks but they have enough of a selection to keep me happy. I usually just grab a 'Gansett Summer or Del's Shandy but I've seen some good stuff on tap here including local brewery Grey Sail. They don't gouge you for drinks just cuz you're near the ocean either. The last time I went there was an 80's tribute act that wasn't that bad considering I usually hate paying a cover for any un-original act. $5 is what you'd pay to get into the Andrea with a crappy DJ & Paddy's is double that for crap. It's a little further down the beach too which can deter a larger crowd so it's a bit more laid back than the other 2 bars. I'd recommend it over Paddy's for sure & on par with the Andrea depending on your qualifications. read more

Wow! The drinks are just water! Even after asking for 2nd drink and make it extra strong! At $10+ a drink that's not ok. The serving staff are very nice and friendly and prompt. No gf options, that wrong in 2019! I won't go back!! read more

No care for covid, half the staff walks around with no mask or it pulled below their chin. The cook that is fully visible from the dining area doesn't even have a mask ON! I work in a restaurant its not hard to follow the codes. Waitress was friendly enough as were the host's. Food was subpar, but my dish came cold. On a night where its not busy this should not happen. Womens room was a mess. Staff seems to not give a shit about you to be honest. Great view but not worth the bullshit. read more

On a summer or fall day I always enjoyed having a drink on the beach. You can't go wrong with Misquamequet Beach in the summer. You will have to pay for parking here though is the only part that sucks or walk miles. This place is a ghost town in the winter. Don't plan on a stop by during winter hours from my experience. read more

Great view of the ocean from the bar. Open air dining, with a full menu. Traditional items include Clam fritters (with huge pieces of clam), clam chowder, and fried seafood dinners, including fish and chips, scallops,and shrimp. A margarita topped with an upside-down mini Corona is just the thing to wash down all this yummy seafood! We parked right in front (there was a lot and no sign saying it was restricted), and didn't have an issue, but a lot of folks have reported that you need to pay for parking. I don't know...park at your own risk! read more

Very clean. Attentive service. Enjoyable music and atmosphere. Fish bowl or bowl o fish cocktail strong and good. read more

Windjammer Surf Bar - Brilliant and nice drinks by the ocean with beautiful scenery. - Sports Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Stopped here while taking a walk on the beach Great atmosphere and device including s live singer and acoustic Guitar player We ordered appetizers of calamari and raw Clams The Calamari as edible the Clams weren't The Guy Shucking the Shellfish told us the weird orange color of the clams was normal I told him I have Been clam digging and eating clams for 30 years and never saw them that Color I asked where they Were from And he said he didn't know but he Knew they Were good I didn't eat them but my girlfriend tried a couple She was up All night heaving and I was fine!! I would highly advise any visitor to stay away from the raw shellfish here read more

Mahi street tacos did not have the proper description the fish was dry and overcooked with Cajun seasoning which is not the description in the menu. Salsa and chips were the worst thing I ever had I could had bought this in the frito lay isle. They forgot the sour cream for the tacos and my wife's chicken sandwich barely had any ranch dressing on it . Very poor service as well with no great recommendations read more

Was on holiday with my wife and 4 children and my wife I went in thus place for a drink not long after some locals were sexually harassing my wife and making over the top inappropriate advances towards her. When she told them to leave her alone they proceeded to have one of the bouncers throw me out of the bar for texting on my phone in the shaded area Employee entrance instead of kindly asking me to to get out of that area instead this overzealous bouncers told me I was kicked out when I tried to ask why he physically assaulted me and my wife and I left this horrible place in a moment of anger I told bouncer if he puts his hands on my again I would knock him out they proceeded to lie to th police and say I told him I had a gun and was going to shoot him. I was forced to deal with the police dept over this incident and be embarrassed in front of my family. I am a hard working business owner that works directly with veteran and first responder non profits and was disgusted by the actions of their staff. I recommend staying clear of this establishment it is a volatile terrible place read more

We visited last Friday night. Walked right in at 530 pm. Let me be clear, this is a bar. If you are looking for a great meal then go somewhere else. Drinks are reasonable the food was just ok. The view is great. Only thing that stuck out for me was the lobster bisque. Ok size but full of big lobster chunks.$14.00 for a burger is a bit steep. read more

This is such a great place to stop by grab some food and drinks with your family and friends. I always come to the windjammer whenever i visit westerly beach and i'm never disappointed. The food is excellent and comes out in a timely manner, especially for the amount of people that are there. I defiantly recommend this place if you're looking for a fun time and great food. They also almost always have a live band playing which is amazing! read more

The south coast of Rhode Island has the best ocean surf on the eastern coast of the US!!! The Windjammer Surf Bar and Atlantic Beach Park are located there, and what a fun place to visit!!! There is something for the whole family!!! An outside bar right on the ocean, large newly decorated state of the art sports bar inside and a large opening to the huge patio featuring tables, umbrellas and food service. We thoroughly enjoy relaxing on the adirondack chairs with a refreshing drink and looking at the panoramic view of the Atlantic ocean!!! WOW!!! Gorgeous!!! This place is awesome!!! And there's much more!!! For weddings, and other types of parties, the Mariner Room, also on the ocean, holds up to 450 people for concerts and can seat up to 200 for weddings and other functions. And for the kids there is an antique carousel, kiddie rides, game room, water slide, mini golf, gift shop, ice cream dairy bar, and more. If you have a chance to visit this wonderful place on the Atlantic Ocean, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the newly renovated Surf Bar and Mariner Room. It's a fantastic place for the whole family to enjoy!!! Our family comes here from Kentucky for the summer every year and they all love the surfing and other fun things to do here. You'll love it too!!! read more

Not great service. Hung out with friends there last week. Went to the snack bar and it took so long we wondered if they even started cooking our order. When we asked the counter girl she started giving us attitude and was extremely rude. I hope she isn't waiting on kids and families this summer. The rest of the place is ok. Drinks aren't great and wine list is awful. read more

Went there a month ago it was busy as hell. The wait staff was okay but not really personable. Had fresh oysters they were great. Had a burger with bacon and other stuff it also was great. The only thing is you really can't enjoy sitting there because they are so busy you have to eat and go. The seats along the wall half of them were reserved so after you ate you had to go and you couldn't enjoy the view and sit there and have a few cocktails. It used to be fun but it's all business now. They post to come down and enjoy the view but they dont give you the time. I remember just a few years ago we went about every weekend and sat there got tipsy and tanned.Ooohh the good old days. I hate progress! read more

Handed the bartender a $20 bill for a $6.50 drink and never received my change. Waited forever then finally confronted her and she said "nothing I can do someone must have swiped it." This place is garbage and the bartenders are thieves. Giving it one star because zero isn't an option. read more

This is one of my favorite places. The food is good but not great. The service is pretty good. But, the view from the porch is incredible. Well worth the trip. read more
