Your Hometown Restaurant Since 1955
Founded in 1955, we established ourselves as Rhode Island's largest family-owned restaurant company, operating eight locations across the state. Our commitment to fresh, homemade food prepared daily at our Warwick commissary ensures consistent quality across all locations. We deliver made-from-scratch meals seven days a week, maintaining the same recipe for success that began over six decades ago. Our banquets and catering division extends our legendary service to special occasions, offering customizable options for weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings.Each location features unique decor while maintaining our signature 'un-chain-like' approach to food quality, value, and personalized service. The iconic 'pie wagon' traveling along Interstate 95 exemplifies our dedication to bringing fresh, high-quality meals directly to our customers. We maintain active community engagement through our fundraising program, which has supported local organizations through percentage nights and donation initiatives.

Came here after a friend's suggestion. We were not disappointed. It was fairly busy for a Saturday afternoon. We reserved our table online. We arrived 15 minutes early and were sat a few minutes later. Quick and friendly service. Food and drinks were great. There was even live music. No complaints at all. We will definitely be back

First the positives. The waitstaff was super nice, and the food was good, and the band was awesome. Negatives. Parking was atrocious. There were no entrance signs so we were there for 30 minutes before another customer told us we needed to find the hostess to seat us. Our waitress kept forgetting to bring us drinks and then would remember as she walked by. In all fairness, it was busy.

It was a very busy evening with the live band getting ready. Definitely needed reservations. The service was quick and the food arrived hot. The buffalo chicken wrap was a bit spicy for my wife but the server gladly helped her replace it with a milder version. The drinks were a little on the high side but they didn't skimp on the pour. The chowder and clam cakes were just the right start. Definitely a do over. And thank goodness for the valet parking.

Enjoyed a business lunch outside in the sun. Food was great, decent prices for the portion. Awesome fries and house ketchup was a hit. Overlooking the marina. Parking was ample. Plenty of staff! Very friendly.

First time here. Came with my daughter for early dinner date around 330-4 on a Tuesday. Beautiful day so we sat outside on slightly heated deck. Would have been nice if they turned up heat near us or at least asked. Our server was Mitchell. He came over in a timely manner and We ordered our drinks along with our appetizer, 6 little necks. Following that shared the Berry salad, quahogs and a lobster roll.
All the food was pretty good. Nothing spectacular. The service was decent but dropped the ball by not returning unfortunately until after we were completely finished with dinner and decided to sit inside to finish our drinks. Disappointing considering that it was not busy at all, not into season yet. I do want to say, Special Recognition to RANDY & huge thanks for seeing my daughter's wallet that she forgot outside at table! Thank you so much! Overall the atmosphere is the big draw here. The food is good but average and the service was same. I will definitely be back for another try.
