3 Best Restaurants in South Kingstown, South County

Shuckers are hard at work at the raw bar in this awesome waterside restaurant, an offshoot of the nearby Matunuck Oyster Farm. This year-round business committed to serving fresh, local produce, along with farm-raised and wild-caught seafood, draws a crowd—snag an outside table if you can. Take a 60-minute tour of the Potter Pond oyster farm, offered several times during the summer.

This cheery tavern has three bars and 69 beers on tap, but hungry folks flock here for burgers and tasty pizzas—like the Pink Panther, which is topped with chicken, prosciutto, and pasta in a house-made pink vodka sauce. Also on the menu are Mexican dishes, mac and cheese with local Whalers beer in the sauce, and other comfort foods.

Lunch or dinner on the deck or patio at this Wickford restaurant is an essential part of a visit to North Kingstown's most scenic village. Watch fish swim and ducks paddle into the cove as you dine on Greek-inspired pizzas and sandwiches, salads and seafood entrees, or shared plates of mussels, calamari served Rhode Island or Asian-style, and stuffed Quahog clams. In a town that's sometimes a little too quiet at night, the tavern's patio bar is one of the better places to grab a drink and some local gossip.
