Cork and Rye Gastropub

Five stars, no question. Our visit to Cork and Rye in Warwick, RI was exceptional from start to finish. The bar staff, specifically Andrew and Jake, were not only attentive but also incredibly accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed without having to ask. Their expertise and friendly demeanor elevated the entire experience. We came for the food and were not disappointed. We started with the clam cakes and the Point Judith calamari. The clam cakes were crispy on the outside and tender inside, packed with flavor. The calamari was perfectly fried—light, not greasy, and served with a wonderful mix of peppers and crispy butter beans. The star of the show, however, was the oysters. We ordered three dozen, and each one was shucked perfectly, fresh, and cold on a bed of ice. We also ordered the fig and prosciutto pizza, which was a fantastic combination of sweet fig, salty prosciutto, and a crispy crust. To complement our food, we enjoyed some fantastic cocktails. The jalapeño margarita had a bold, spicy kick that was perfectly balanced by the tart lime, a real wake-up call for the palate. The espresso martinis were rich, smooth, and exactly what you want from a classic cocktail. Cork and Rye delivered on every front: a high-quality, delicious menu, a well-stocked and expertly-staffed bar, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of place you want to return to again and again. Highly recommended.

Stopped in for oysters and the steak sandwich—both were great, but that steak sandwich was on another level. Easily the best I’ve had in a long time. I seriously considered ordering a second one on the spot. Service was smooth and friendly, and the manager, Erin, was extremely welcoming and kind. Great experience all around. I’ll definitely be back

Delicious! First time here and would def go back if in the area. Good place in a kind of random chain filled area. Had a few vegan options I was happy to see! The Margherita pizza subbed vegan mozz was delicious and my partner was thrilled with his Cobb salad (no really he was very happy with it). Drinks were good too- BlackBerry Lavender Lemonade so yummy!

Really enjoyed this place. Great drink menu, stellar apps and entrees across the board. Friendly staff and bartenders. Upscale but very warm and inviting atmosphere. I'd be a regular if I lived about 6 hours closer:) But will plan on dropping in whenever I'm in the area.

food is always amazing here and same with the service. always busy so place a reservation to make sure you get a seat! the salmon dish is the most delicious salmon i’ve ever had. and same with the buffalo chicken dip it’s to die for

The burgers are amazing ! We had a house side salad, regular fries, and truffle parmesan fries, and the classic burgers (added bacon to one of them). The truffle fries were just like in London.

I was the first timer at this restaurant and will definitely be coming back! They had one of the best calamari appetizers I’ve had in a long time! They presented the calamari like a salad dish with olives and other garnishes absolutely delicious. They also had the most delicious burger I’ve literally had in years! Every dish was cooked to perfection. We enjoyed the fish and chips and French fries as well! The espresso martini was rich and carefully crafted. Incredible staff, beautiful establishment. Definitely worth a visit and perfect stop before the mall or the movies. I will definitely be back for the oysters/oyster happy hour thank you Cork and rye for an absolutely amazing visit before an important night for me. See you soon soon ♥️

Food was ok. Very very small portion steak for $35. Sangria ok nothing great. Shrimp was good and steak good portion. Cream brule had no fruit and barely cream on top

Drinks aren't bad here! Bartenders are very pleasant. Food is a hit or miss. I've had some really good things then there are some I'm okay with. Buffalo dip is yummy love the pita chips Deviled eggs yum My quick little go to

* Oysters (happy hour $1.50) * Ahi seared tuna * Poke bowl * Wings Buffalo and Parm Garlic * Seared Shirmp rice bowl * Espresso martini * Old fashion * Fall Gin&Tonic Small place that can get crowded but cute vibes. Staff seemed overwhelmed but it was packed and a Saturday so service wasn't best as far as attentiveness. But they were busy from time we came and left (2hrs). We did have a reservation. Staff was still really nice and helpful. The food was really good. Husband said portions could have been more in poke bowl taking the price into consideration. But overall drinks were fire and a good experience. Would go back! They have their own dedicated parking lot as well.

I had the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp and it was just delicious. Great dressing and the shrimp had such great grilled flavor. I had an IPA. My table mate had the fish and chips which had a very heavy coating. The flavor is good and the coleslaw looked nice as well. She had this amazing drink that had Mezcal tequila and bits of wasabi that were caramelized if you can believe that. It was absolutely delicious. Nothing on the dessert menu appealed. Just real standard fair, sadly. I would definitely return!

Stopped in for a quick dinner again we love to sit at the bar which is mist if the time first comes first served or they will help you get seats too! We got the buff chicken dip with pitas which are great and the fresh veggies too! Very filling :) then we got dinners too ! Everything is fresh & always a perfect portion and always comes out pretty quick. Such a fun atmosphere always . Service is amazing .

I was in the area for a wedding and had dinner here the night before. I had a dirty martini and it was great. My friend had an espresso martini and that also was amazing. The vibe is super cool and our waitress was very friendly. They have a large bar, outdoor seating and some seating inside. We got the chicken bacon ranch pizzas, tuna app and buffalo chicken app to split. The pizza was my favorite. The food was done well.

Came to Cork with a group of friends. Cool vibe inside. We made reservations and we're seated pretty quick. The only downside was the table we got was a bit small for 6 people. It was a slim rectangle table and was very cramped. We ordered some cocktails and an app. The braised rib nachos had some great flavor and a bit of a kick. I ordered the cork burger, it came out a perfect med rare which I feel is very rare now a days. (Pun mot intended) Overall good service, food and atmosphere.

Great food, great drinks, great date night at Cork and Rye! On a Wednesday night it was pretty packed and we had to wait 15 to 20 minutes for our table though. Definitely plan to make reservations in advance.

Brought my dad here for his birthday on a Thursday evening. Made a reservation because the space is on the smaller side and I do think most evenings it can get busy! We all got a drink, my sister and I liked that they had spirit free drinks and they were yummy! All of our food was really good. Server was nice & friendly. Only thing that was a bit annoying was it gets loud in there but we just chatted a little bit louder.

Went there on date night very very busy restaurant at the time that we went, the host quickly took our name down and then offered us some chairs in front of the raw bar, so being on a tight schedule we decided to take that, we will quickly serve, served drinks, and we ordered the steak sirloin sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing, the staff was very tentative to our needs and we got in and out of there with a great meal, I highly recommend this wonderfully staffed restaurant

Loved it, super awesome staff, food was delicious and hot. Only doe. Side was the size.. on the smaller side and wait was a little long. But still 5 star as we will wait again to go back

One of the better burgers around Staff is truly an all star team Considering the place is on a main road the ambiance is 10/10 We highly suggest Cork as a go to for lunch or Dinner.

I stopped in for lunch after hearing about this place from friends and I thought it was great! Everything coming out of the kitchen looked good. The atmosphere was nice and our waiter was very friendly :) I got the chicken sandwich which was amazing. My friend got the black bean burger which also looked great! I will say, the side salad was delicious and I saw some other salads coming out of the kitchen that looked amazing. I'll be back!

This is my go to Warwick spot. Favorite things? THE COCKTAILS! I ordered one of their bowls and I really enjoyed it. I have heard great things about their oyster bar (did not try) I do think this is a date spot for sure. The intimate feel inside is so nice on a cold night. It gets busy- make a reservation!

Located behind the mall, their parking area is a bit small, but right across the road is plenty of parking in the mall lot. It's not a busy road and easy to cross. They have opened their outdoor seating area as warmer weather has arrived. It was full the day we visited and sits adjacent to the parking lot. They do take reservations, so perhaps call ahead to reserve your spot if outside is your goal. The interior is very nice. Calm. Not a lot of tchotchkes cluttering up the space. A large bar takes up the center of the room with high top tables around the edges of the room. Two restrooms (one ladies, one men's) are on the far side of the dining room down a short hall. They are large and clean. I don't recall a diaper area. This is a wine and whiskey bar. The wine selection is mostly Californian with several Italian, a French and a couple New Zealand and Washington State's thrown into the mix. The whiskey selection is larger. They also have a full bar, a nice 'mocktail' menu and beers on tap. The food menu includes many starters and several salads to which you can add a protein. They offer grilled pizza, burgers and sandwiches, a few bowls, pasta, steak, chicken and fish entrees as well as several solid veg and rice sides. We chose handhelds for our meal. My Crunchy Cod sandwich description states is it 'Cajun' battered, includes fried jalapenos on the bun and a chipotle aioli. I was expecting this sandwich to burst with flavor. It didn't. The cod was a nice thick piece, lightly battered and cooked to a flaky moist consistency. The fried jalapenos add a nice texture and a little bit of flavor. Overall I expected a more lively sandwich. I opted for the house salad as my side which is a spring mix with chopped tomato and onion. Dressing on the side. The Buffalo Burger was not 'Buffalo sauce' spicy overall. The fries were tasty. I know restaurants have to cater to a lot of different pallets which perhaps is why the description is spicier than the actual item. Maybe there should be a sliding scale of how hot you want your sandwich when ordering. In any event, the quality of each sandwich component was good and the taste was fine. We just won't be dreaming about them.

Awesome oysters on special along with great shrimp cocktail . Tried a great bar pizza yesterday . One of our go-to places

There is plenty of parking in the parking lot. We were a party of 2 that came in on a Wednesday afternoon. We were seated right away by our waitress. The restaurant wasn't filled but was pretty busy with a few tables and guests at the bar. The waitress seemed a bit out of it and not attentive, but seemed nice. She had taken my drink order but didn't take my cousin's drink order before she walked away, so we had to waive her down to get it ordered. We weren't done ordering before she walled away again to tend to something or someone else. She brought out our drinks, and we had to make sure she knew we were ready to order our food. I'm glad we ordered and shared the appetizer, entree, and side since we ordered a heavy appetizer. The buffalo chicken dip is a must-have. It was delicious, but I wish we had ordered the veggies instead of pita chips to try to lighten it a bit. The sirloin sandwich was amazing, but the fries could've used a better seasoning or side sauce to take it to the next level. The fried brussel sprouts side was a bit on the plain side. It wasn't anything worth getting. The mocktails could've been done with a bit more pizzazz. The cookie butter espresso was a bit watery, and the strawberry sangria was more tart without much strawberry flavor. Overall, I would give them a 3.5 if I could between the service, food, and pricing. I wouldn't mind stopping by again, but not necessarily a spot I'd go out of my way for in the future. I would recommend just going for the liquor as opposed to getting the mocktails.

Horrible service, terrible food, overpriced, weak drinks. Don't bother with this place. you'll be disappointed.

Solid. Tuna app was great as was cauliflower steak and the fries. The beef steak was "ok". I mean it was fine but no sauce or anything. Was expecting more. Thought the crème brûlée was "ok". Christine really liked it. It didn't crack with my spoon (wasn't toasted enough?) but also the flavor was not my fav.

Wonderful and attentive wait staff. Food was pricey and disappointed. Caesar salad. Took forever and chicken was sawdust - sent it back. Would not go back.

We went there Sunday night for my birthday. 6:30 reservation but table didn't free up until almost 7 pm. Manager was terrific and got us all a drink while waiting. Appetizers were very good! Had the nachos, brussel sprouts and buffalo dip. Food arrived and unfortunately one of the orders was made with cheese and we requested no cheese. Put a bit of a damper while we all waited for his meal to come out again. Manager again came out after we finished and gave us some complimentary desserts that were terrific! Overall the food was great and the Manager was very helpful and understanding....Not sure if we will go back again but a nice place for drinks! Maybe it was a bit much with a party of seven!

Our server was personable. Attentive at first but as it got busy it took a bit to get his attention. The set up inside was comfortable. The drinks are made well but very small. The food is the same. It's got good taste but the pizza is more like an appetizer. The portion size of food and drinks is way too small for the price. It was disappointing

This eclectic cozy pub serves up delicious, healthy food with plenty of gluten free options. The bartenders are masters of their craft, often including infused alcohol, smoked fruit, etc My husband and I love sitting at the bar. The service is always top notch, and it's fun to meet a variety of locals. What we appreciate most about this establishment is their commitment to creating dishes with allergies and gluten sensitivities in mind. They always go above and beyond to make sure nothing is cross contaminated. Well done!

Food is fantastic & great service. We had a nice night & terrific dinner. Recommend the lobster roll

Stopped in for a few impromptu drinks during a crazy rain storm. Got a glass of Josh Merlot which is obviously great. Then had this Fiddlehead IPA which was so good and smooth! The waiter was super nice and very attentive even though it was packed. Would have gotten a bite to eat but they're pretty expensive. The waiter did say they are a scratch kitchen though. Actually a decent place near the Warwick mall.

Ate here on our first night on the east coast for our trip! I had the bolognese and the noodles were excellent and tasted chewy and homemade. We also had the fresh oysters. I ordered a whiskey sour and it was perfect. Cute vibe and service was excellent- we actually ate here twice while we were here!

One of our go-to neighborhood spots! Reservations suggested, because this location has limited seating although there is bar seating as well as table seating. Very modern and moody setting perfect for a date or intimate dinner with friends. Everything is hand-made and house-made, really elevated comfort food that we crave. My favorite menu items would have to be the bacon Brie burger and the chicken pesto sandwich.

Warm environment, wonderful attentive bar staff and delicious creative, dishes. Love the chicken dish and the owner is so hands on and passionate. Always an enjoyable experience. One of my go to places to meet friends and enjoy a cocktail.

The sirloin sandwich was absolutely delicious!!! Oysters were great and half off. Service is great and efficient. Although music doesn't match the ambiance but besides that I enjoyed my experience.

Expect to be here for a long time. This is the second time I've been here and boy do you need to block off your afternoon to eat here! First time we nabbed the last table available when it was super busy. This time, walked in and no one was there-maybe 4 other tables. This past Friday afternoon: The service was intermittent at best. The appetizer took 25 minutes to arrive and it wasn't even a cooked app. The burger I ordered (also took another 30+ mins) medium rare was rare/raw (literally cold, falling apart because it wasn't cooked.) I wasn't going to say anything but my husband insisted I did. They took it away and cooked another one. My husband had his meal already and was waiting for me to get my cooked burger, thinking since it was a screw up it would be bumped up and take maybe five minutes. Nope! 25 minutes later it finally came out (well done.) I asked for a to go container for him and I without taking a bite, got our bill and left. Luckily, the burger was comped but I'm swearing off this place for good. I'm not exaggerating the time waits. It was so ridiculous that I jokingly started a stopwatch after they took my burger away, saying "I don't want to be here for another 20 minutes." I could understand if it were busy, but it wasn't. Thumbs down. This place feels like a neighborhood bar with food don't waste your time or money.

This place was a real surprise. I figured it was going to be another average Irish bar, man I was wrong! The menu is delicious and expansive. Also the seasonal drinks are wonderful with a nice beer selection. I have now been here for 2 work meetings and 1 date night. I highly recommend!

A surprisingly nice place to have a good meal at good prices. Enjoy the opportunity to eat indoors or out and find a nice array of drink selections. For me, a bourbon fan, the list may not be deep but the selections are very good. I tried the Michters for the first time. It was quite very good. Deep rich color with oak and cherry overtones. Try the cod sandwich, it's fantastic. (It was also recommended by the server.) You get a piece of crispy cod, jicama slaw, micro-cilantro, mango and jalapeño chutney, on a brioche roll. Or if no carbs is your thing get it without the role. Bon appétit.

What a great find when you are looking for a new place in the area after having moved away! We started off with Burrata salad and the Fig and Prosciutto pizza as apps. Delish. Then one of my friends had the Brie Burger, another the Fish and Chips (huge portion,) and I had the Mango Salmon - so good and the presentation is a work of art. Our server was always checking on us and even brought us new silverware between courses, a detail I miss greatly at most restaurants. Will definitely be adding it to our yearly get-togethers.

A small, nice spot that's more upscale than the other restaurants surrounding the mall. They have a raw bar! We sat at the center bar, had great service, and shared a flatbread pizza that was pretty unbelievably tasty! I'll go back again.

Enjoyed experiencing a local bar near the providence airport. It was a pleasant surprise to find a popular Sunday night spot. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and our 2 servers. We split a couple of flatbread pizzas and a Caesar salad. The Pear and Prosciutto Pizza and Caprese Pizza were fantastic with olive oil used as the dressing. I would recommend dropping in if you are in the area

Great menu, exceptionally attentive service, clean restroom. Ordered a variety of appetizers and was very happy with all of them.

Very good drinks; very good food. The staff was super accommodating when our large group came in. The crispy fried Brussel sprouts were delicious to start and then the Bacon + Brie burger was everything I wanted it to be.

Drinks and service were great, food not too good, disappointing. Messy sandwiches and premade burger patty, no need to repeat

Great food as always my favorite is the sirloin sandwich. Small inside but comforting, bartender went above and beyond! Will definitely be coming back again and again

We came to Cork and Rye in hopes of finding delicious and interesting food, excited to eat after reading their menu. However, our food was pretty average, and didn't meet our expectations. We got the Chimi lime calamar which was good, a Lemony chicken piccata which was okay, and clams for happy hour which were small and nothing special. Our friends ordered a classic burger which took surprisingly long to come out, considering that the space was very empty. The waitress was also somewhat hostile and passive aggressive, which rubbed us the wrong way and ultimately made us uncomfortable.

This place was top notch and on point with everything. The bartenders and servers were attentive without being excessive. It was busy, but they made you feel like they were paying attention to every need. They started outside seating which is a definite plus on beautiful New England days. There was also a raw bar. The food was fresh, well balanced and flavorful! I would highly recommend!

I was on the prowl for a delicious cocktail after enjoying an afternoon of retail therapy. Yelp recommended Cork and Rye and I'm glad it did. I was able to snag the last seat at the bar. I was pleasantly helped by Andrew, whom I've had the pleasure of dining with at a different restaurant. I tried two of their signature cocktails, one refreshing the other on the exotic side- never thought to put cardamom in a cocktail. Both were delicious. I also happened to visit during half price oysters on the half shell #score. I tried their blacked ahi tuna appetizer which filled me right up! Super fresh. Very cute, small place I'd love to come back to try some tasty sounding entrees.

Food is good, ambiance--pleasant--service good. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Some drinks, appetizers, oysters--with tip--almost $175! Seriously--thank Brandon--but how often can the average couple visit a place like this?? Suggest early dinner menu--"Appy Hour" to encourage repeat business.

Yelp recently had a listing on RI's best burgers, but I feel they left some establishments out and one of them being Cork and Rye. Situated at the far end of the Warwick Mall parking lot across from the NYLO hotel, the hamburgers are so far out of this world that we might need Mr. Musk to help rescue a few more to bring back to earth. Perfectly prepared and they weren't afraid to ask me how I'd like it cooked. If one is using premium beef why would anyone cook it so much that RIDOT would consider using it to patch up the I95 bridge? Juicy? Yes. Can one taste the beef? Yes. Might I consider Cork and Rye a habit? Well Yes...if the acoustics were better and the decibel level of chit chat could be decreased. But then again, sometimes it's just nice to be noisy where you can just let it out and laugh between bites of your burger. Go.

Visited a multitude of times and usually enjoyed myself. Food is good. Service always decent. Atmosphere is fine. It's a casual pub spot, great for meeting up with friends for some drinks, snacks, even a meal. I will say, however, that my last experience was rather dreadful. The wait time was insane. So bad in fact, that we ended up leaving be before anything had been served. Needless to say I haven't been back since. Service that day was certainly subpar and that for me is a big part of the experience. Not writing them off altogether, but not rushing back.

Meh. The steak and frites was covered in a disgusting green glop of something verde. Why?? Why do we continue to adulterate what should be perfectly Fine meat with sauces and other slop? The shrimp in the petite platter were huge and rubbery not tender at all. The spicy margarita was lame. I've had better at the chain BJs. Service was lovely though.

I want to start this review by saying that I knew nothing about this place prior to visiting. I took my sister and her boyfriend out to dinner for her birthday and she had been wanting to try this location. We arrived relatively early around 4:45 PM on a Wednesday evening and the place was packed. I would strongly recommend that you make a reservations in advance. The gentleman at the entrance was very kind and let us know it would take roughly 30 minutes. I will say that this place has a very relaxed atmosphere where people are sitting and enjoying beverages, food and conversation. The wait ended up taking roughly an hour but we spent the time walking around the mall waiting for the text to return. The staff were very apologetic for the wait and seated us quickly and took our drink order. We ordered two appetizers. We ordered mozzarella sticks, which were absolutely delicious and had a very fresh just-made taste to them. We also ordered a special appetizer. It was freshly made pretzel bites with a homemade beer cheese. The pretzel bites literally melted in your mouth like a hot Krispy Kreme doughnut and the beer cheese should win awards (maybe it has?) Now let's move on to the amazing dinner. I can only provide a review for what I ate and I ordered the crispy onion burger. This was possibly the best burger I have ever had. The buns were so fresh they may have just finished baking when they put a delicious, juicy medium cooked beef patty in between them. The burger was topped with a fantastic homemade honey mustard sauce and crispy onion straws. In addition, they have a rosemary french fry, which are crispy and delicious, and they provide you with a very large serving. Book a reservation in advance so you don't have to wait and definitely give this place a try, you will not be disappointed. Dinner for three without alcoholic beverages, two appetizers, and three entrées was $92 plus a $20 tip

Went here for dinner on 10/24/21 because it had gluten free options and was across the street from the hotel that we were staying at. My husband and I split the buffalo chicken dip ($13.50) and subbed vegetables for bread because I have Celiac. Super cool that they were able to get me roasted potatoes as the fries aren't gluten free for my $25.50 steak frites. My husband had the regular fries with his steak frites as he doesn't have Celiac disease. It's a bit pricey for a mostly empty plate. Maybe it's just a visual thing, but seeing 1/3 of the plate totally empty and the other 1/3 being swiped with an artistic swipe of cauliflower puree just feels like a rip off. More potatoes and cauliflower would be nice.

We stumbled upon Cork and Rye for lunch on a Saturday around noon and it happened to be the beginning on the Oyster Happy Hour, which lasts from 12 to 3. When we arrived the restaurant was almost empty but it quickly changed. Our server was very friendly and accommodating, we placed an order for a dozen oysters ($1.50 each during happy hour), buffalo lemon pepper wings, truffle fries and a fig & prosciutto grilled pizza. The food was generally good but the wings were inconsistently flavored, (some were salty and some didnt have enough) and the pizza was missing some balance as it was a bit too sweet for me. By the time we left, there was a line out the door and the place was very lively. I would give the food 3 stars, the service 5 stars and ambience 4 stars.

My Dad was visiting from out of town and I was looking for a good late lunch/early dinner spot with good food and service. This place delivered. I didn't realize the pulled pork nachos appetizer would be a meal all by itself even sharing it. I'm not big into nachos but these were by far the best nachos I've ever had. I also ordered short rib truffle mac (and cheese) (this was my main reason for wanting to try the place). I was full by the time I got this but I tried a few bites. It was outstanding. I was shocked at how good it was. I brought the majority of it home. My Dad ordered 4 large oysters. He was very pleased with them. I'm not a fan of oysters personally but when I saw this on their menu I knew he'd appreciate it. He also ordered herb roasted chicken. It was a really good fish. The flavors of the chicken, sweet potatoes, bacon brussel sprouts and sauce all blended very well. Holland was our waitress and she was extremely nice. We couldn't have asked for better service. She even laughed at my Dad's terrible dad jokes. I highly recommend this spot to anyone wanting an enjoyable lunch or dinner.
