Newport Creamery: Ice Cream Tradition Beats Mid Diner Filler

Rhode Island locals treat this chain like a birthright, but the split between real dairy and standard grill food decides every visit.

August 16, 2026 About Newport Creamery

Skip the fryer and load up on the ice cream they’ve been making since 1928.

The Take

Newport Creamery earns its keep with ice cream made locally since 1928 and fresh-ground 100% USDA beef burgers. Everything else on the grill lands as forgettable American diner filler with zero surprises.

The Verdict

The ice cream and beef carry the brand while the rest signals basic family-chain comfort. Hit the secret menu move: blend a scoop of house ice cream into the Awful Awful for an upgraded shake.

Order the Holy Cow Burger bunless with a side of ice cream.

Common Questions

Is Newport Creamery healthy?

No. The ice cream and beef deliver real ingredients while the buns, sides, and fried items stay standard processed fare.

Does Newport Creamery use seed oils?

Unknown. No fryer oil sourcing details appear on menus or site, so assume the usual industrial blend unless you ask.

What is the Awful Awful at Newport Creamery?

A thick blended milkshake-style drink loaded with ice cream and mix-ins. It functions as dessert in a cup.
