Recently Chowhound.com released their "Hands Down Best Burger in Every Single US State" list and not too surprisingly Chomp made the cut for the Ocean State.

Chowhound raved about their specialty burgers, like their crab rangoon burger that covers a smashed burger with a creamy crab and cream cheese filling.

Though Warren is definitely the closest Chomp location for many on the SouthCoast, a third location is opening soon that will be worth the trip as well.

Where is Chomp's New Location?

Chomp announced last fall that they were headed to Newport, opening their newest location on Broadway in the old The Fifth Element building. Chomp has renovated the building both inside and out and are finally ready to open to diners this weekend.
