A delicious pulled pork sandwich (go for the large), house-made potato salad, coleslaw and corn bread made for a great quick and easy dinner on a rainy October evening. Although lots of folks were popping in for takeout, the friendly staff, nice tunes playing in the background, and excellent prices made this very small and very casual dining room (fewer than a dozen tables) a cozy spot for a visiting solo diner.
2. Barn

This is not your average diner or restaurant. It is definitely higher scale and the food/menu choices/pricing reflect. Please note that the Barn is strictly a Breakfast/Brunch venue. We were seated immediately and the restaurant was clearly almost full when we arrived. Our waitress was a true joy and very accommodating. We tried the Johnny Cakes naturally and a selection from the Barnyard Special (Eggs on the Bayou), standard eggs over easy with bacon/sausage and a vegetarian egg while omelette. Everything arrived hot and delicious. Portions sizes were pretty big and the coffee was very good. One of the most enjoyable parts of the meal was the Pain D'Avignon Light Multi-Grain bread from a bakery in Hyannis, MA. We were able to find that bread at SweetBerry Farm in Middletown RI before we
left to go home. Johnny Cakes were very good but we also had equally good Johnny Cakes in Little Compton and Newport as well. Regardless, you cannot go wrong. Also parking is available so its not an issue. Lastly, the restaurant address states Adamsville which is in Little Compton. You may need to use Little Compton in your GPS as Adamsville was not an address which was available. Just arrive early or be prepared to wait.
We will definitely return next time we are in Rhode Island.

Fantastic restaurant on the Westport River.
Photo perfect sunsets. The restaurant has a small alcove for business gathering. The food is average, but pricy for the area. The dining room is very noisy. There are limited tables out on the deck which is a more intimate setting. Great place to have a drink after the beach on the deck & watch the sun set over the Westport River

Stopped in after grabbing our veggies at the farm stand. They had some delicious looking treats, although we definitely found them to be pricey. The ladies working were very helpful and friendly. They also serve Del's! I wouldn't go out of my way to come in, but it's hard to resist when you're already there for the veggies.
6. Gray's Ice Cream

It’s difficult to open a Rhode Island guidebook without finding a reference to Gray’s ice cream. Reading other reviews it seems to be something of an institution in the area.
No doubt some of the hype surrounds the number of flavours available – I’m guessing at least forty. I was expecting a diner style ice cream parlour but found a store and a serving hatch. There were a couple of benches at the edge of the car park and restrooms were of the Portaloo variety.
We visited twice during our ten day vacation. First time around we tried the seasonal pumpkin flavour and the much lauded coffee chip – both lovely. On the second visit I ordered ginger and discovered I’d been given coconut – perhaps my N Irish accent was to blame. In truth the coconut ice cream was quite nondescript.
The list of flavours available is impressive but I get the feeling that nostalgia is the secret ingredient in Gray’s success. Oh, for the UK visitors a 'box' is what we might call a 'tub'.

Must be a recently opened shop, as it looks totally closed in Streetview.<br>also see http://www.yelp.com/biz/kilwins-newport

We travel during the year and it's always a treat to try different ice cream. The ice cream here is really good and you also have a pick on the finest in confectionery. A great place to look for weddings, birthdays and corporate gifts. It's a great location and easy to find.
Cake cone $4.50 and a double waffle cone $7.25
8. Gray's Daily Grind

Reviewed By eminker - New York, New York, United States
After looking for the Gray's Grist Mill (which is right next door...) we came across the Gray's Daily Grind coffee shop. Coffee was quite good but cups and lids were problematical and I ended up wearing coffee. Pastries and muffins were good but the real attraction is the Grist Mill products (flours, mugs and other assorted goodies). The Grays Grist Mill pancake batter is very good and definitely not your Aunt Jemima variety. It was very similar in ways to Kenyons Grist Mill Pancake mix but a bit thinner and dryer. Make sure to try the Sacred Cow Granola as its beyond good. Definitely worth a stop for Coffee and its literally two minutes by car away from The Barn in Adamsville, RI right over the MA/RI State Line.
9. Art cafe

Reviewed By Peter K - Chevy Chase, MD
Few seaside communities are as pretty, neat and serene as Little Compton, RI, a 45-minute drive east of Providence. So the Art Cafè, just off the Town Commons, looms like a magnolia on a box woods. It serves mostly coffee and pastries, most too sweet to our liking, and resembling a one-car garage with a tall red door they slide open in good weather, it gets stuffy and crowded in winter. But on warm enough days, the grounds spread out like a park, albeit one so incoherent in its features that it projects a scene of total disorder. No landscaping crew has ever passed through. No two tables or chairs match, and all must have been collected at junk yards. The long morning.we relaxed with our coffee and scones, one blueberry, one orange and cranberry, single blue collar men took tables and read their iPhones and eleven young mothers, each with a toddler, settled in to form an informal day care center. Eleven toddlers, mind you, did not strike us as company for our moment of solitude in the sun. But in is this setting, in the tolerant air of the place, the setting and the tolerant air of the place, we did not hear a single disruptive sound, not even a child's cry. The cafe, so laid back and funky, is on to something.

At Bouchard Restaurant, a warm relaxed ambiance and gracious welcome signals your arrival. The restaurant serves fine French cuisine in a 1785 Georgian-style house.

I always look for the good places to dine when I travel, so I researched this one in advance of my trip, and made sure to make a reservation several weeks in advance (a must!). So glad we were able to dine here. It was a superior experience all the way around -- ambiance, food, service. A must-try, if you're a foodie.
