Yup. WGW. (see previous review, haha) And for my summer birthday??!! A no-brainer. Not much has changed about my feelings toward Kittens. Everyone was as friendly as they were the summer of '09 and '10. And they were no different in 2012. I just wish this place (or Block Island, in general) was easier to get to during the summer months. Whomp whomp.
Mexican on the deck was a hit/miss for me this season. I only enjoyed half of my meal while my friend enjoyed everything. I had a side that was rice and beans... it was so bitter that it was inedible. I asked them if I could swap for the refried beans and they accommodated me without question. Great service from the waitstaff!
So, this is a review for Mexican on the deck. I usually always come here on a weekday, usually Mondays so it's never been that busy. Sometimes it takes a bit to get a server to the table, but i think it's because they're understaffed.
I came here a few times with a friend, and we always order rum runners and tacos. The rum runners are DELISH and might I add, soo strong. We ordered our tacos after that, I got ground beef and my friend got the fish tacos. Never any complaints and always very filling! Yellow Kittens is a must go to on the island.
Decent service and the drinks are generous. The food had some evidence of a chef trying hard to make something good from nothing. I expected more local ingredients and flare but to no avail. Not to mention the very short menu itself; not many choices.
If you do go, the fish tacos were good.
The service was prompt and refills plentiful. Â
The prices were very reasonable.
The quasadilla was huge and very tasty. The chips and salsa could have been a meal in itself. The soft shell taco were small but came with a side. The chicken salad wrap was ok. Not a fan of cucumbers so I think might have swayed my opinion.
The downside to this place is the restrooms. They were clean but tiny and made me feel like I was in a Johnny  on the spot. Avoid if possible, especially if you do not like confined spaces.
On Block Island its slim pickins for bars. Hello Kitty is a must! Yes, I always forget its called "Yellow Kitten" ... and Hello Kitty is easier to remember.
The cover is expensive, $10 I think? The drinks are expensive. The band is REALLY loud, and the bathrooms are REALLY small. Get over it and enjoy it. Get on the dance floor, dance your ass off and laugh at how stupidly the people around you are dancing.
Maybe if you're lucky like me and my friends the door guys will draw inappropriate yet funny pictures on your hands with permanent marker, in which you will wake up with smudged marker on your face and your pillow the next morning.
It's a sports bar, and can get rowdy. Haven't experienced all that much, so I can't give a full review.
Decor was nice, had plenty of TV's and a pool table. Beer selection was typical of a sports bar and many other places on the island.
If you go, don't go on a crowded night. Unless you like that sort of thing.
