    Great restaurant. Love the fried, green tomatoes and hush puppies! Owners must really care because restaurant is super clean with fun decor and a varied menu. Wait staff was terrific!

    I should have sent the overly dry BBQ back since it was overly dry and seemed as though it had been sitting around a while but I didn't as I was tired and not feeling especially well. However, on the other hand, they weren't busy and should have been aware of what they were sending out on a Friday night!

    Waitress was very knowledgeable about the newer menu, able to answer specific questions about many food and drink choices. Food was excellent, drinks were too, service was fantastic! as non-locals living on the island it was fun to have a southern style menu in the heart of beautiful Newport, we will definitely be coming back!

    The Wharf has some original dishes on their menu. The pimento cheese and crab dip was excellent. Unfortunately, the brisket was tough and the sides lackluster.

    I went online. OpenTable said there was an 8:30 reservation. I scheduled it. We walked in and they quickly informed us that we had to order ASAP, because the kitchen was about to close?????????? WHY have reservation spots on OpenTable IF your kitchen will be closing. The food was blah, and the attitude of the staff was NOT inviting.
