Fat Belly’s Pub

Fat Belly’s was our go to neighborhood bar, great service! We stopped in for wings and a beer today. What a surprise when we got a bill for $ 12 for 10 wings, seriously? Granted, out mistake for not looking at a menu first but, are you kidding me? The bar next door is $ 3 less! Makes one think about choices.

First off, the woman that took my order on the phone was very polite and answered all of my questions without hesitation. Very professional. She told me it would be 30 minutes, which I didn’t believe since I had ordered a few items. About 25 minutes later, I handsome gentleman (Greg) wearing a Fat Belly’s t-​shirt, jeans, and rocking a fresh haircut knocks at my door with all of my food, nice and warm. I paid cash, he handed me my exact change like a human calculator. Very friendly and personable. I tipped him well for being so speedy with both the food and the cash transaction. Finally, the food was delicious! Truffle fries to die for, paninis toasted up perfectly, all warm and scrumptious. Hell, even the house dressing on the side salad was on point! I will be definitely be ordering from here again! 5 stars!

The wife and I were looking for a pub to grab a beer and some food after a movie in Warwick, found this place on Unilocal and decided to give this place a try. When we arrived, we were a little worried by the size and were worried that it may be one of those locals only kind of places, but when we stepped inside, we were pleasantly proven wrong.
We were warmly greeted as soon as we got in and quickly presented with menus and the chance to order the beers we were craving. It’s a small beer menu, but the beers represented were Irish Pub classics so it wasn’t hard to find something to drink. We went with Sandwiches though I had the Pizza is good, I went with the French Dip, my wife with the Steak Sandwich, as well as the Pretzels and Cheese Dip as a shared appetizer. The Pretzels were soft and warm, the cheese dip was tangy and delightful. The sandwiches were exactly as advertised and also well executed.
Don’t come here looking for the greatest meal ever, go here looking for a quality meal and a beer that’s served by an attentive and pleasant server. A gem.

Fat Belly’s is a great place to go. They have a good beer selection and their food is awesome. As a vegetarian and non lover of bar food, I always make sure to order something here (their specials are always on point). I live in the area and have been to this Fat Belly’s at least a dozen times. I’ve never had a bad time. It’s a thousand times better than the rest of the chain. Definitely worth trying out if you’re looking for a low key environment, good food, and a beer.

I was afraid t poo write a good review due to the fact I don’t want anyone to know about this Gem. Aside from the awful bathroom the place is outstanding. Everything you need and a cozy bar. A lot of tvs, Decent food and a good selection of drought beer.

I live close to this Fat Belly’s location and used to visit it often. However, the last 2 times (one being 2 days ago) that I have gone, I have been overly disappointed in the food. The first bad experience was a burger, the last time was a reuben sandwich. Both times the sandwiches and their fries seemed like that sat under a heat light for 15 minutes before I got them (not saying that happened, just saying that’s how it seemed). I’d give it 2 ½ starts if I could because the beers are good and its a cool place to hang with friends, but my experiences have been too poor to give it 3 stars.

This is the best of all the Fat Bellies. They have interesting and delicious weekly specials which are prepared with care by chefs that truly love to cook. Service is great, the place is small but cozy. It gets loud when there are sports things happening, but it’s a pub, so that’s pretty typical. Go there, staple a dollar to the wall, and become a regular.

this is the best fat belly’s in rhode island. hands down! the food is always cooked perfectly & the wait staff are always pleasant. try any of their burgers. you won’t be disappointed!

Rock solid pub food. Good selection of tap beers. I highly recommend the pub steak sandwich. The fries can be done any way you like smothered in cheese. Can be a tad slow on the table service but if you have no where to go, who cares. Plenty of TV’s but no game sound ever on. All in all a good pub.
Disclaimer; I hate Unilocal and nobody should have to endure the rant of an uneducated boob that this site has too many of. Score one for little guy!

I had been to Fat Belly’s before for pizza and thought it was really good. But my friend told me their burgers were the best ever, so I decided to take her advice and try them for myself.
I’m always amazed when someone tells me there is incredible food at a place and then I go to check it out and I find it to be way less than incredible. How does this happen?
I’m equally amazed at how many places ask me how I want my burger cooked and then deliver a burger to me that is cooked in a way that I did not ask for. I asked for a medium-​rare burger and received a burger that was medium-​well. I ordered the namesake «Fat Belly Burger» which is just a basic burger with lettuce and tomato. It was totally bland. I mean it was so bland that I put salt on it and when I took a bite, I realized I had to put salt on it again. It tasted like nothing. I guess in the scheme of things, a burger that tastes like nothing is much more welcome than one that actually tastes bad.
It was easy to eat this tasteless burger because it was hot and I was hungry, but I definitely did not enjoy it. When the bartender came by to ask us how the food was, I shrugged my shoulders and made a face that said, «meh», but she ignored us completely. My man responded by saying, «mrmmmph» with a mouth full of food. So, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the same place that disregards how you want your food prepared also ignores your answer when they ask you how everything is.
The fries were OK, nothing amazing, but also not bad. If I had to describe the food in one word, it would be, «meh.» The food actually left me feeling bored, that’s how uninteresting it was.
The service was pretty mediocre as well. We ate at the bar. The staff seems to congregate around the back of the bar when they are in between tasks. It was distracting. I watched the bartender pour a glass of wine and then after it was poured, use her finger to wipe something off the rim… like really rub it. The waitress asked the bartender to pour it into a clean glass because it was obvious that the glass was dirty. I was a little skeeved out by how many different things the bartender seemed to touch (her hair, her face, her sweaty neck, money, menus, and that dirty glass) and then grab appetizer plates without any regard for her dirty fingers touching the top of the plates for the guys who sat next to us. Ick. (All she had to do was just touch the edge of the plates in order to avoid grossing me out. But she managed to swipe her fingers right across the surface instead.)
I hate giving lousy reviews. I know how much work it is to run a restaurant. I know how hard it is to find good help. I know how small profit margins can be and I am sorry if I end up contributing to any factors that help to cause a restaurant falter. But if you are running a pub and you can’t produce a decent hamburger, it is only a matter of time before your destiny catches up to you.

Excellent food, excellent drinks, terrible service. I really enjoyed my drinks (Black Velvet, yum!) and the Irish nachos were delicious, but alas, I won’t be returning based solely on how terrible the service was. I get it, it’s St. Party’s Day, but that’s really not an excuse in such a small establishment, as to why I waited 15 minutes for menus. The table next to mine was served first, but arrives after me, and I could clearly see the waitresses/​bartenders laughing and chatting behind the bar while I waited. Cut to later in the night, when the rest of my party arrived, and we waited constantly for service to replenish our drinks, on top of the waitress being extremely rude when she finally did come over. The final icing on the cake would be when we left; we did leave a tip, even though I wasn’t too keen on the idea because she thoroughly didnt deserve, she had the audacity to follow us out into the parking lot to complain! Unbelievable, and I don’t even want to give this place a reason to redeem itself. It’s not worth the aggravation, or the 20 minute drive.

Great little local pub. Although titled an Irish pub the menu lacks any Irish influence. Staff is wonderful and the beer selection is good (although they choose not to serve one of Rhode Island’s best local brewery’s brews — Grey Sail). Of all the Fat Belly’s Pubs, this one has the most «local pub» feel.

bacon cheese fries are made with REAL cheese — no nacho cheese. The big belly burger is to DIE for. SO GOOD! best of all the food is really cheap. My girlfriend and I frequently go out to eat in East greenwich. You could go to a place like Kan for mediocre food and a 80 $ check, or you could come to fat belly’s where it might be a little crowded and noisy, but get great food and a 20 $ check. Definitely my top choice in terms of a restaurant to which i would bring friends

Although all the Fat Bellys are great, the original has charm. It is very small but that makes its quaint. Great place for drinks and pub food.

The original Fat Belly’s is located seemingly in the middle of nowhere but it is a hotspot for locals.
Seating is very limited but the patrons are always friendly and don’t mind sharing a spot or a stool.
Food is great esp. the bbq chicken nachos, pizza and chix sandwiches.
Parking is limited. Seating is worse. But it’s a cozy spot.

Solid food for a pub. This location unlike the EG location also has good NY pizza. Blackened chicken salad is good as well. Bonus, this location delivers Thursday through Sunday.

There is a third location in Rhode Island. This is the most quaint and cozy of them all. We recently came here for drinks and apps on a Sunday afternoon. The service was attentive, the drinks were cold and delicious and the apps were fantastic. We dined on buff-​a-​que wings and chix nachos that were so good! We will be back for more!
