1. Del’s Lemonade: You always have to stop at the sign of the lemon. This is a frozen drink that is made with fruit and come in many flavors including; Watermelon, Lemon, Mango, Blueberry, Cherry, and Strawberry.
2. The A&W Shack: Down in Smithfield there is an A&W place to grab some “Hot Wieners” (a hot dog with meat sauce, mustard, onions and celery salt) and some A&W root beer that is made on the premise daily and is absolutely delicious.
3. Cindy’s diner: This place has some of the best homemade food ever for a restaurant.Many Rhode Islanders grew up eating here, it’s located in Scituate and it’s the best place to go and to feel like you are back in the 50’s.
4. Newport Creamery: Awful big Awful good, that’s the motto of the famous Awful Awful. They are the most delicious milkshakes you will ever taste here in RI. They are thick and awesome and come in a variety of different types you can even ask for sprinkles in them.
5. Iggys: Iggy’s doughboys is something that is a must when you go down to the beaches, if you went to the beach and didn’t buy one did you really go to the beach? You can also get some really yummy clam cakes as well here and they are pretty good, but be careful sometimes the line can be all the way down the sidewalk they are so good.
6. Shady Acres: They have the best ice cream here and also really good food as well. Go here in the summer to get ice cream on a nice warm night.
7. Cool Licks: this is located in North Providence, and is one of the many great homemade ice cream places here in RI. We recommend watermelon sherbet.
8. J’s Deli: This is a pretty much a Bryant staple- you can walk in this place at basically any time and see a Bryant kid. You can get some pretty rocking sandwiches here and great pickles as well.
9. LaSalle Bakery: If you want some great bakery food then go here, they have a variety of different goods and they are all pretty great!
10. Coffee Milk: This isn’t really a place you can go but we guess Stop and Shop is a place… What you want to buy is Autocrat syrup and what you do is put some syrup in some milk and then you stir and drink. It’s as easy as that! Congrats you now know what all the crazy Rhode Islanders talk about.
