1. Breakfast at Louis Restaurant

Louis Restaurant in Providence is an awesome spot to start your journey.

The breakfast menu here is over a page long and features savory options like the Drunk Johnny omelette with onions, hash, and cheese, as well as sweeter choices such as pancakes.

2. Lunch at Chomp Kitchen and Drinks

Your lunch destination lies a brief half hour away at Chomp Kitchen and Drinks.

Chomp is notorious for its massive and tasty burgers, so you may want to take a little stroll through downtown Warren or the Haile Farm Preserve to build up your appetite.

3. Snacks At Wally's Taphouse

Of course, you'll need a scrumptious snack between lunch and dinner, and that's where Wally's Tap House comes in. It's just a short 20-minute drive from Chomp.

The spinach and artichoke dip looks delicious, but you can also snack on mozzarella sticks and other fun options. And if you have a companion with you who isn't driving, they can sample from the extensive beer menu!

4. Dinner at Becky's BBQ

Your next stop takes you on a 25 minute journey through Portsmouth into Middletown for dinner at Becky's BBQ.

There is a lot of fun stuff do to along this route to work up an appetite again, like making a visit to Green Animal's topiary Garden in the warm months or strolling through Prescott Park. You'll want to make sure you're good and hungry for Becky's because the menu is packed full of unbeatable Southern flavor.

5. Late night bites at the Narragansett Café

Just when you think you can't eat one more bite, that late night hunger will kick in and you'll be glad you drove the quick 15 minutes to Narragansett Café.

Top off your night with some live music and killer nachos, stuffies, or clam cakes at this popular Jamestown Haunt.

With some coastal views and lots of fun places to stop, this route seems like a great way to have fun stuffing your face! Which of these hole-in-the-wall restaurants are you most excited to visit, and who will you be bringing along for the ride? Shout out your thoughts in the comments section!
