1. Middle of Nowhere Diner

Reviewed By Thomas B - Saint Louis, Missouri
I wouldn't say it was in the Middle of Nowhere but not in a city for sure. A couple miles E of I-95S and about 5 miles south of I-95S as it bends around for a east-west orientation, this place is an absolute gem. They have an extensive breakfast-->dinner menu at decent prices. I got the large serving of ham, baked potato, and zucchini for around $8.50 I think. The servings were plentiful and I had trouble eating it all and I was hungry at the time. I ordered it there to go and only had to wait a few minutes. To be fair, this was around 3 PM so not their busiest time. There was enough parking there but can't attest to the parking situation under busier times.

Thank you for another great season. Our two stores are now closed for the season. See you in the spring.

Brickley’s Ice Cream is the ultimate ice cream provider in our local area....their ice cream is really creamy and the number of flavors and servings sizes are generous. Summer is not complete without an insane number of visits to Brickleys every summer. My favorite flavor is ginger...my wife’s favorite is mocha almond fudge....nuf said.

Thanks for visiting our Tripadvisor page. Our hours will change again at the end of August. Sorry, we do not take credit cards - we continue to look at options to accept credit cards, however, as of now we cannot justify the swipe charge and % fees charged by the various companies. Credit/debit card processing also tend to slow the lines. Thank you for for understanding.

I was going to say QA let a bad batch through but ingredients were changed. No long dark chocolate morsels but now smaller chips. Yogurt wasn't as thick and flavor lacking. Hope this isn't a cost cutting measure they stick with.
4. Dunkin' Donuts

We live in North Kingstown but drive to this Dunkin' because their coffee is superior and we always have a great time with customers and staff!! First of all, their coffee is the best; they use well water which could be part of the reason. You really need to give it a try. Now on to the fun part; Janine, the manager goes out of her way to make your visit enjoyable. The staff is cheerful, accommodating and makes every effort to get your coffee just right; I know, because I am very particular and everyone knows EXACTLY what I want. The regulars sit, chat and laugh; what a great way to begin the day!! I could name the employees who work so hard to begin our day with a smile but am afraid I would leave someone out so a big THANK YOU to everyone who brightens our day.

Welcome to Trattoria Romana In Wakefield, sister location to our Lincoln restaurant. Experience our authentic Italian trattoria. We offer specialty dishes from Italy in a relaxed, fine dining atmosphere.

We had a wonderful meal here. The restaurant looks quite unassuming from the outside, and is located in a large retail park, but inside it is large and quite palatial, decorated with dark wood panelling. The staff were really friendly and helpful - especially about my gluten free requirements and were able to accommodate my needs with ease. We shared the daily special starter (baked mushroom) which was delicious, and our main courses were equally wonderful. It is not open on a Monday. Highly recommended!
6. Allie's Donuts

Reviewed By ThankxgivingTraveler - Newport, Rhode Island
When we moved to Rhode Island. I was 5 and Allies made having to attend fire and brimstone mass worthwhile because we'd get Allies afterward. I treat my office colleagues to Allies once in awhile but recently we had a family reunion of sorts and I went to get doughnuts on a summer Sunday morning. Mistake. 30 minute wait and at least 8 types I wanted were not available even with more waiting. Very disappointing. But the doughnuts are still the best anywhere.

What a great find. Small place that serves some of the best sandwiches around. Awesome selection of food all written out on the blackboards. Something for every type of food lover. The gobbler was awesome. Big sandwich on great roll. Tight confines so get there early.

The thermometer hit 100 degrees and we hit the ice cream shop. This ice cream is homemade and delicious. I loved my chocolate fudge brownie. My husband had coconut almond. He loved it.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch. We had stuffies, madarine orange salad and chicken bacon ranch pizza. Everything was very delicious and was enough for us to share and take home leftovers. Excellent friendly staff. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!
