About
Since its establishment in 1969, Evelyn's Drive In has been a beloved destination for homemade comfort food, drawing diners from across the globe. This dog-friendly establishment, a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives alum, is renowned for its Rhode Island Chowder and clam cakes, succulent lobster rolls, and perfectly fried whole belly... clams. A standout specialty is the famous Lobster Chow Mein, a unique fusion that has captivated guests. For those seeking alternatives to seafood, Evelyn's Drive In also offers hearty homemade chicken pie, classic meatloaf, and satisfying burgers. Husband and wife team Domenic and Jane Bitto have proudly owned and operated Evelyn's Drive In since 1987, continuing the legacy of founder Evelyn DuPont. They skillfully blend Evelyn's time-tested recipes with classic seafood offerings and innovative creations like the acclaimed lobster chow mein. Beyond its culinary contributions, Evelyn's Drive In demonstrates a strong commitment to community and sustainability. Since 2003, the restaurant has actively supported Singing Out Against Hunger (SOAH) as an event sponsor, contributing to efforts to combat hunger locally and globally. Furthermore, Evelyn's Drive In has partnered with Newport Biodiesel since 2010, responsibly recycling 28,000 pounds of cooking oil to generate valuable fuel for the community, even featuring a "BIOBUG" powered by their delicious fare and biodiesel, driven by Jane and Dom. This establishment welcomes four-legged friends, making it a perfect spot for a meal with the whole family.
