The Haversham Tavern

Westerly, Rhode Island was purchased in 1660 from a Montauk captain named Sosoa and for hundreds of years was a major shipbuilding port where Oliver Hazard Perry built gunboats, famous for fine-grained granite used for monuments and other fancy stuff, and had a major impact in the textiles and finance industries.

These days it's mostly know as THE TOWN WHERE TAYLOR SWIFT OWNS A MANSION. And beach tourists in the summer. And I guess the Haversham Tavern.

This old-timey joint is a bar/restaurant/hotel/wedding event place/tourist attraction. I didn't really look at anything but the bar/restaurant, which is old-timey looking I guess...

Ah the old standby. Truffle Fries. Almost impossible to screw up. Now, I have to mention here that these fries were on the menu when I went to this joint during my 2 year sabbatical. They are gone now and have apparently been replaced by something called "Waffle Fry Supreme".

Oh my.

Very nice.

 

 

If you are visiting Tay Tay and want some good fries, the HT is probably worth checking out, although I can't vouch for their current fry offerings.

Hell's Kitchen

I generally like Gordon Ramsay. I don't know him personally but he seems okay. So I went to his joint in one of the big casinos with an open mind.

There was this big tv with him on it on the way in. I wish he would yell at you real mad. That would be fun. Instead he was just like "welcome to my restaurant, blah blah blah".

Big place. Kinda empty on accounta we went for dinner around 4pm. Sheesh...old people am I right?

Hey look at that slacker over there on the right. You got time to lean, you got time to clean buddy!

I'm not sure how I even got fries during the dinner service since they aren't on the menu. Maybe I greased somebody. I can't remember. Any way it was funny how the cup of fries and ketchup came on a little black plate. Classy!

They are pretty good. Not sure what I paid for em but they're probably not worth it. 

This is one of the things the joint if famous for. Beef Wellington. It's good.

 I would say get the fries if you're going there anyway. 

Rapp's Barren Brewing - Weird Name, Great Stuff

If you are a fishing person, you probably know that Mountain Home, AR has like fishing on a river there or something. I do not fish, but there is also a great brewery on the old town square that has killer fries. 

Rapp's Barren Brewing has a cavernous interior and Carne Asada Fries.

NICE.

My buddy ordered a burger. Look at the amount of fries they give you as a side.

 

Mmmmm.

DO IT. 

P.S. The beers are really good.
