Family owned and operated for four generations, this iconic Point Judith indoor-outdoor dining spot has been a must for Rhode Islanders every summer since it opened in 1920. Its peerless, waterside location and unpretentious atmosphere are the main draws, along with favorites like steamers, fish-and-chips, and namesake Carrie Cooper's clam cakes, still made using the original recipe.

Built in 1888 as a U.S. Life-Saving Service Station, this restaurant has been nearly destroyed twice by storms—by Hurricane Bob in 1991 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Regardless, the dining area has spectacular views of the ocean, the roof deck is a great hangout (try the frozen Dark 'n Stormy cocktail), and the patio is about as close to the sea as you could be without getting wet.

Owned by the same family since 1948, this local landmark near Salty Brine State Beach has its own private patch of sand and beach blanket service in the summertime, along with a lively tiki bar. Try traditional Rhode Island favorites, including calamari, clam cakes, and "stuffies" (stuffed quahogs), as well as raw bar treats like oyster shooters. Get your fried or broiled seafood from the walk-up window, too. George's buys seafood directly from fishermen in Galilee, so this is also your place to sample sustainable local fish.

Shuckers are hard at work at the raw bar in this awesome waterside restaurant, an offshoot of the nearby Matunuck Oyster Farm.

This restaurant defies its strip mall location with a bright interior design soaked in natural light and a high-fenced courtyard for warm-weather dining. Coast-inspired comfort food like fish and chips occupies the menu alongside fish tacos, short-rib grilled cheese, and a savory salmon gyro; oysters—on the half-shell or Rockefeller—are harvested in nearby Watch Hill.

Lunch or dinner on the deck or patio at this Wickford restaurant is an essential part of a visit to North Kingstown's most scenic village. Watch fish swim and ducks paddle into the cove as you dine on Greek-inspired pizzas and sandwiches, salads and seafood entrees, or shared plates of mussels, calamari served Rhode Island or Asian-style, and stuffed Quahog clams. In a town that's sometimes a little too quiet at night, the tavern's patio bar is one of the better places to grab a drink and some local gossip.

The hand-cut fries at this former speakeasy hidden in the woods are revered across southern New England, and steaks and burgers are big and cooked to perfection.

Perched dramatically on the edge of the Pawcatuck River and with tall windows and a large deck overlooking the water, this handsome restaurant serves some of the most reliably sophisticated and creative cuisine in South County; it also has an outstanding wine list. The menu favors seafood and steaks, including a terrific striped bass with fondue of crab, fennel, and leeks, but you can also sample a juicy burger topped with red-pepper aioli. The selection of post-dinner desserts and cocktails is extensive—consider the mocha pot de crème (baked then chilled custard) with orange-scented beignets.
