5. Johnnycakes at Kenyon’s Gristmill

Johnnycakes – little pancake-like cornmeal patties – have been a staple in Rhode Island for centuries. Made from stone ground white corn meal, hot boiling water or milk, and a little bit of sugar and salt, they’re best served straight off the griddle and at Kenyon’s Gristmill.

6. Oysters at Matunuck Oyster Bar

Everything at Matunuck Oyster Bar is farm-raised and wild-caught. Try the “Buck a Shuck” ($1 oysters and littlenecks). No reservations are accepted, but it’s worth the wait.

7. Stuffed quahogs

The clam meat gets chopped up and mixed with bread crumbs, herbs, and finely diced onion, bell pepper, and celery. The whole savory mess is then baked in a clam shell.

8. Pretzels and a Brew at The Malted Barley

Cheddar-stuffed jalapeño pretzels + a side of apricot butter + 30+ beers on tap.

9. Iggy’s Doughboys

Iggy’s has been around since the 1920s. Now, with the addition of their creamery, you can enjoy the same deep-fried deliciousness with a side of ice cream.

10. New York System Hot Wieners

Don’t call them hot dogs and don’t ask for ketchup – These are the cardinal rules at Olneyville New York System. Order one “all the way”.

11. Coffee cabinet at Delekta’s Pharmacy in Warren

What others in New England might call a milkshake or a frappe, here in Rhode Island it’s known as a cabinet.
