The Bluebird Café, Rhode Island

Rhode Island restaurants are certainly not hard to find. However, finding the restaurant in Rhode Island that suits your needs takes a bit more research. The Bluebird Café is a family friendly restaurant located in Wakefield, Rhode Island. It is a short distance from Narragansett beach and many vacation rentals, which makes it a popular destination year round. The Bluebird café, known to the locals as The Bluebird, is open for breakfast and lunch every day except for Tuesdays. The Bluebird Cafe is also open on Friday night for Cajun inspired meals. This popular breakfast restaurant has an extensive menu for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. If you choose to try a breakfast, may I suggest the Huevos Rancheros. This dish starts out with a healthy portion of black beans, a flour tortilla; two eggs soaked in ranchero sauce and then covered with another flour tortilla, cheese, and finished off with homemade salsa. You can also alter this by replacing the eggs with grilled veggies or chicken. Bart, the owner and head chef, is incredibly accommodating to special dietary needs. Some other breakfast options are:

• Power house eggs
• Loaded omelets
• Homemade corned beef hash
• Grits
• Jalapeño cheese grits
• Homemade biscuits
• Buckwheat pancakes
• Buttermilk pancakes
• Fresh fruit and yogurt
• Freshly made muffins

(see menu for complete details)

Supposing you are thinking lunch, you can choose from the many salads and sandwiches ranging from a grilled fish sandwich to a hearty veggie melt. Perhaps you would like to try a cup of freshly made soup. Some of the savory soup flavors are, shrimp bisque, chicken file gumbo, coconut curried shrimp, and my personal favorite, Walter McIlhenny’s crab bisque. The Sunday breakfast special board dons the famous jambalaya hash served with your choice of home fries, grits, or black beans, and two eggs served any style. Another popular Sunday dish is the Cajun sausage and cream gravy served with homemade buttermilk biscuits. This popular breakfast and lunch spot transforms into an intimate dining experience on Friday nights. The Bluebird is a BYOB which helps to make this an inexpensive restaurant. Every Friday night features one of Bart’s famous soups as well as four or five Cajun inspired meals. Some of these include Jambalaya, fried catfish, chicken maque choux, salmon adobo, and a wide variety of others. To finish off your meal, be sure to try one of Ruth’s incredible homemade desserts! The service is consistently friendly, timely, and efficient. Whether you live in Rhode Island, are just passing by, or possibly vacationing, be sure to make The Bluebird Café one of your Rhode Island destinations. This is truly one of Rhode Island’s best restaurants!
