Food scene
Fantastic atmosphere and great food... enjoy a drink on the floating dock area at sunset before dinner... it’s a must. NOTE The Eddy is a seasonal restaurant closes Jan 1. through March 20th. Also of note, they serve a fantastic brunch during the fall months with a to-die-for bloody mary bar :)

Quaint, comfortable, local family-style restaurant with a nice menu and prices to match. Close-by... take out pizza too if you like the brick oven style... but for pizza and subs I like to go to A-1 Pizza in Little Compton ;)

The Red Dory is a casual fine-dining restaurant located in the Stone Bridge village of Tiverton, Rhode Island, overlooking the Sakonnet River. Chef/owner Aaron DeRego (previously Chef & Co-owner of The Back Eddy) offers his personal versions of Mediterranean-style seafood dishes and sources most of his ingredients from the area’s farmers and fishermen. Great big bar to hang out too. Cheers!

A local favorite, I love this quaint little greek-owned eatery. Stop in for coffee, breakfast sandwich, baklava and other delicious items in the a.m., and for lunch, they have a great sandwich board (I love the Gyro) take it with you or sit and enjoy a beverage (adult or otherwise) inside or on their quaint outside deck overlooking Nannaquaket Pond

During the summer... this is THE place to go for fresh farm vegetables, fruit and assorted sundries. I love stopping here after a day at the beach to grab some fresh veggies and whatever for dinner. AND, if that wasn't enough... check out Wilma's next door for delicious pastries, pies and other sweets that'll make you say, what the hell. :)

Sightseeing
I put this under the Food Scene too... but it's just a great place to stop and see... and go right across the street to Young's farm too... they have the most beautiful flowers on top of their own fresh farm veggies. Young's is famous for their peaches in season. Enjoy!

It's hard to say who has a better harvest... Walkers or Youngs... I always hit both. Youngs is a different experience than Walkers... Karla is so sweet and welcoming. Enjoy the beautiful flowers and produce... and when in season, they are famous for their peaches (OMG). Check it out.
