The Eatery

The Eatery is a restaurant in Westerly, RI, serving homestyle comfort food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This family-owned spot specializes in Irish Eggs Benedict, cinnamon swirl French toast, hash brown-crusted quiche, and homemade muffins. The menu also features Shannon's Kitchen Table Breakfast, a Turkey Club Sandwich, and a Friday Fish & Chips special. The Eatery hosts Monthly Comfort Food Night on the first Monday of each month and offers event planning by phone.

Owner Shannon Holdredge has over 25 years of restaurant experience, having started in hospitality at age 14 with 15 years at a college Subway, followed by work at exclusive spots like The Preserve and a stint at Electric Boat before returning to her true passion. She opened The Eatery in July 2023, transforming a former Beach Street café into a local fixture known for its all-day breakfast, home fries, and homemade muffins. Shannon manages everything from front-of-house to back-of-house prep, with her children and husband playing key roles. She hopes to expand into a summer food truck and add grab-and-go options while maintaining the close-knit, neighborhood feel.

The Eatery sits on Beach Street, about a tenth of a mile from Beach Street itself, roughly a third of a mile from Margin Street Knoll and Kimball Park, and about four-tenths of a mile from State Street Elementary School and the Westerly Hospital Medical Association Library.
