Reviews for Wharf Southern Kitchen & Whiskey Bar in Newport, RI

From the outside it looks like a tiny bar but inside it is tiny but also cozy for few drinks! Walked in with my mate for a pint... of beer each and was impressed with the man cave type of atmosphere that the bar had. We also had the chicken wings and theywere great! The skin were super hard to chew so just be careful if that’s the case for you! Defo, recommended! Read more

Came for Sunday brunch and it didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere is fun and it was decorated for Halloween. Food is delicious... and our server was attentive and friendly. There is only 1 brunch menu option for kids called The Little Rancher, but it’s afull plate with waffles, scrambled eggs, fruit and tater tots. Read more

I rarely give bad reviews, but this is just the case. It started with the service - the restaurant was almost empty, but we had... to wait for anyone from the staff to pay attention to us, to be seated. I had to go upstairs to find someone to ask for it. Andonly when another lady after us did the same - a girl appeared and seated both parties. Meanwhile she exhibited clear annoyance???? . Meanwhile we noticed 3 other staff members chatting or hanging out yawning on the stairs. So this is clearly not the caseof being understaffed, but bad management. They have a good selection of drafts, and that added 1 star to the rating. As forthe food it was average at best. The kids cheeseburger was plain inedible - overcooked, even hard to bite! Lobster roll hadplenty of flavor but too little lobster meat and the meat was somehow too crunchy and chewy. Definitely not worth $30. My fishand chips was so-so. Although I really liked the sauce it couldn't compensate for the blandness of the fish. The best part wastheir clam chowder - quite original, plenty of salmon and smokiness from bacon. Read more

Extremely friendly waitress. 10oz Ribeye: The ribeye was very juicy. The cut of meat was slightly chewy. All of the sides... perfectly complimented the steak to especially flavorful. Fried Chicken Sandwich: There was a little bit too much iceberglettuce for my preference which took away from the flavor. The chicken texture was crispy and overall was a good sandwich. Read more

Nice atmosphere, tasty food! Was able to get a table quickly on a Sunday at noon time; but indoor only had one server, so was... slow to get orders and such-but they were very friendly! Food tasted great and reasonable priced for the area. Fried pickleswere really good, but made with sweet pickles! The pork belly sliders were delicious, spicy and great flavor. Read more

Dear lord this place was incredible! The ambiance was unique and creative, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and happy.... The passion fruit bourbon cocktail was to die for! As were the chicken and waffles, and pork belly tater tots! They alsodidn’t skimp on the mock tails making everyone feel included! Highly recommend! Read more

The crab dip is heaven. Service was great! Me and my husband made reservations after we got married! The waiter surprised us... with complimentary glasses of wine (great tasting wine!). That was a nice touch. Our food was delicious and the place had agreat atmosphere. Would gladly visit again! Read more

Bartender was easy to talk with and made very good drinks. My favorite was the chicken skins- highly recommend! I ate the... chicken and waffles (not Nashville style) had great flavor and chicken was tender enough I didn’t need a knife. Husbandthought his smoked Buffalo wings were well cooked with a good spice flavor. Read more
