I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wharf’s Southern Kitchen, and I must say, it was an experience worth every moment. The bartender was the true highlight, going above and beyond to create an unforgettable dining experience. Their skill in crafting drinks and their engaging demeanor added an extra layer of enjoyment to my visit. I can’t wait to return for more exceptional moments at Wharf’s Southern Kitchen!

Our waitress Lauren was busy but still attentive. The BBQ ribs appetizer was absolutely delicious! Seafood chowder and Lobster Mac & Cheese were good. My margarita was good enough to have two!

Was amazing food, waitress was helpful in customizing my chicken and waffle to a none spice honey. Wife absolutely loved the all American hamburger . Small seating area but they make the best use of space they had.

Went with friends for the first time and heard about the tater tots but I have to say they were nothing special, very bland and in dire need of seasoning. I did enjoy the hush puppies but one of our friend thought they were undercooked. What I was truly disappointed with was the Seafood Chowder; I grew up in Rhode Island and was shocked how bland it tasted and would prefer my chowder without corn. I really enjoyed the Whiskey Peach Tea and thought the service was impeccable.

One of the best options to eat at the Wharf. They have the option to eat outside or inside with A/C. The location is fantastic. They have plenty of options to eat and a massive selection of drinks. The service was great and quick.

There were 10 of us and we couldn’t find a place in rush hour. At this place we were immediately seated. The drinks were amazing! Beer tasted fresh, ciders were great. All food was fresh and tasted deliciously. We tried lobster roll, local fish and chips, seafood jambalaya, mac&cheese, chicken tenders and a steak. Would be happy to visit it again if I’m around.

Ended up here after trying to take a bachelor party to Diego’s where the wait was gonna be several hours for 9 (no shade, that’s what happens when you’re popular). The Diego’s hostess suggested we try Wharf since it’s their sister restaurant. Walked across and the Wharf hostess was great. She got us in at the long table by the bar upstairs right away. The food was solid and the drinks were really good, but the real reason for 5 stars was our waitress, Bliss.

This place is amazing! The food is excellent! We ordered a bunch of appetizers cause we just couldn’t make a decision because of how amazing the menu is, and we were not disappointed. Ask for Bliss, she’s literally the best human ever, super helpful, super knowledgeable, super everything.

Delicious and fun menu! Highly recommend the oysters and the cocktails. We loved the cucumber lavender lemonade and the fried green tomatoes. Definitely spent more towards the $50/person price, but it is Newport and this place is worth it.
