Chomp is one of those Providence restaurants that I keep finding myself coming back to, even after…read moretelling myself I should probably try something else on the menu. I've eaten my way through quite a few things here over the years, and while there are plenty of good choices, I keep coming back to the Smokey and the Bandit smash burger. At this point, I probably know what I'm ordering before I even sit down. There's just something about that combination that keeps winning. The food here is consistently good. Everything I've had has been fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and the kitchen seems to have that part figured out without making a big production of it. The menu has enough variety that you can come in with different appetites and still find something you want, but it doesn't feel like one of those places with a menu the size of a small novel where you need twenty minutes just to decide what you're looking at. The beer selection is another reason I enjoy Chomp. There's enough variety to make choosing a beer part of the experience rather than simply grabbing whatever happens to be on tap. Prices are also pretty reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which is increasingly something I notice because restaurant prices have a funny way of creeping upward when you're not paying attention. The location is another part of the appeal. Chomp sits in a great little part of Providence where you can easily make an evening out of being in the neighborhood. There are plenty of other restaurants, shops, and places to wander around nearby, so it doesn't feel like you're making a special trip just to eat and then immediately getting back in the car. Tonight, though, I have to give a special shout-out to Bella, who was our server. She was outstanding. Friendly, personable, attentive without hovering, and genuinely helpful. She suggested adding bacon to my Smokey and the Bandit, which I probably wouldn't have thought to do on my own. I'm very glad she mentioned it because it was an excellent call. Sometimes the best recommendations are the simple ones, and she nailed it. One piece of advice if you're planning on coming here: make a reservation if you can. Chomp can fill up quickly, and given how good the food is, that really shouldn't come as much of a surprise. It's the kind of restaurant where people come back because they already know they're going to have a good meal, and I'm certainly part of that group. Five stars from me. Great food, good beer, reasonable prices, a fantastic Providence location, and genuinely good service. I've tried enough of the menu over the years to know that Chomp has plenty of options, but apparently I'm still incapable of walking through the door without ordering that Smokey and the Bandit. Add Bella's bacon recommendation to the list of reasons I'm going to keep coming back.

Let's start with the burger, pretty thick patty, decent meat, but a lackluster taste/flavor. Nothing special about the fries either, pretty salty, average. Now let's move to the wings, the wings were actually flavored well, slight tang and spice, not too soggy, a good set of wings. Wouldn't come back, not bad but you can get this burger and most places.

It's also very shareable (thought I took a pic but didn't..oops!). The churros were crispy and came in 4 pieces with a side of chocolate to dip. It was good but could be a bit softer inside. Overall, good spot to meet up for drinks and snacks! Service: Our waitress was super attentive and very nice. She checked in on us often. Ambiance: It's a nice spot. Looks like a big log cabin and plenty of tables and seatings. Great for watching sports too. There was a singer there for the night and he was good! There's also a parking lot in the front. Would go again.

I got the Big Ol' Burger and it was so good. Cooked perfectly, the special sauce was delicious and as you can probably tell from the photo, the fries were exactly what I was looking for. Everything tastes really fresh here. It has that farm-to-table quality, but in a relaxed, laid-back (but still really pretty) setting. We came for lunch and I loved that they had brunch options too. We didn't get any adult beverages but I was very tempted by the entire drink menu, so next time! Our service was also outstanding. Really everything was A+. Definitely a local spot that I need to remember to go to more often.

In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

LOCATION…read more The brewery sits right along the river, which makes for a great setting to sit back and enjoy a few beers. Especially on a nice day. It's definitely one of the better brewery locations in the area. Now let's talk about the beer. Is it good? Yes. Is it great? Not really. I've had several of their beers and while they're all pretty solid, nothing has really blown me away. My favorite is the Juggernaut Double NEIPA. That's my GO TO when I'm here and probably the beer I'd recommend trying first. Overall, Apponaug is worth checking out. The beers are decent, but the location is what really makes this place stand out. Would I go out of my way just for the beer? Probably not. Would I come back to have a few beers along the river on a nice afternoon? Absolutely.

Even though my order was considered a side, it was large enough to share, and I was able to split it into 2 meals. Will order here from now on when I am in the area!

Food is cooked fresh to order - they make everything in house and I've been told that they don't even have a microwave in the kitchen. That being said, plan to wait a while for your food, especially when it is busy on the weekends. In my opinion, fresh is worth the wait, but sometimes, the wait is really, really long. Service is good - usually friendly and efficient. The last time I was there I felt like the server was overwhelmed, but it was a really busy Saturday night with lots of food orders as well as a full bar. Ted's is a decent place to eat or drink at in Cranston.
