Our Story

Food that brings people together

Applause 82 was born from a simple belief: the best meals happen when the food is honest, the portions are generous, and you're treated like family.

We opened our doors on East Cherry Street with one goal — to give West Warwick a restaurant where every visit feels special without the stiffness. Our kitchen prepares everything from scratch, our servers know your order by heart, and our dining room stays warm no matter how busy it gets.

Loved by the neighborhood

"The Applause Burger is hands down the best burger in Rhode Island. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and that secret sauce is addictive. My whole family fights over the last fry."

— A local food lover

"Ordered takeout on a busy Friday and everything was spot on — hot, fresh, and exactly as I asked. The garlic parmesan fries are unreal. This is now our go-to spot."
