Longfellow's Wayside Inn Restaurant

This is a lovely setting which is an inn and restaurant. The food is mostly traditional American food. It is well prepared and served by very friendly, helpful staff. A wonderful place to go with family or friends.

6 of us went. Everything was very good except my chicken pot pie. It always had a flaky crust, but this one was like a cracker. You had to pick it up to take a bite. Lots of chicken. But wouldn't order it again. They also don't sell their bakery products anymore. Baked scallops, Prime rib, pot roast and steak were all great, as was the potatoes and squash.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was historic and unique. The food was expensive but worth it for the total experience.

I had clam chowder that was creamy and loaded with clams. My son had lobster pie that was filled with large chunks of lobster. Everything was delicious.

I love Wayside Inn for both the inn and the restaurant. The rooms in this historic Inn are charming and comfortable. Breakfast is included and served in the restaurant. They have a good variety on the menu, such as eggs, pancakes, and lighter fare. The corn muffins use cornmeal that they grind in the gristmill. Delicious! The restaurant can be busy at dinner. It's slightly pricey, but flavorful. The Indian pudding is an unusual dessert.

Historic colonial atmosphere. Grounds picturesque. Menu had decent selection. I had the lobster salad roll with fries. About 7.5 inch roll full of lobster, bite size chunks. Typical taste. Personally I prefer the warm buttered style served at 99 Restaurant. For a very tasty cold version, try the Coast Guard House, Narragansett, RI.
