Booked 1 time today
Our daughter started college nearby and raved about this restaurant she stumbled upon with friends. Now we’re visiting and eating here for our second night. The atmosphere is a blend of upscale and cozy classic. I the food is on point!! The orancini as a starter is an absolute show-stopper. Everything from the pizza to the chicken parm is perfection. If you’re passing through- don’t skip this. Make a reservation! They are always packed.

We had an amazing experience at Joe’s Original! Our server, Madi, was absolutely wonderful! She was so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Her personality and customer service were outstanding, and she truly went above and beyond to make our experience special. It’s servers like Madi who make you want to come back!

It’s always A great experience to have dinner at The Cafe. Service is outstanding, and food and drink are the best you can get in Westerly! My husband has poor vision, and the staff goes out of their way to make sure that we are seated in a place with plenty of light for him. Highly recommend this wonderful place!

    The menu is excellent, it covers a nice assortment of handhelds, entrees, appetizers, etc., and there are daily specials. There were 3 of us: one shredded beef sandwich with au jus, one hamburger, and fish tacos. All were delicious and server Zach is excellent.
