Between the cozy tavern space, the great craft drink menu, and that distinct "hidden retreat" vibe, it really turns a standard dinner into an experience. It's the kind of place where you can easily get lost in conversation while exploring a great menu. The service was great and the staff are very attentive. there's plenty of parking but the lot gets full by early evening as the restaurant is popular.

We had a Cumulus Sweet Deals for Flat River Tavern & we thought we'd never been there before. We…read morewere both right & wrong at the same time! It was something else before (we visited for RI Food Fights #LordOfTheWings some years ago) but the establishment is under new management with a revamped menu. As a wife of a veteran, it is always wonderful to support a veteran-owned business. They wear their service on their proverbial sleeves. Everywhere you look, there is a tribute to our heroes. Hubby is a fan of meat on meat on meat pizza so we ordered the Cardiac Special - pepperoni, sausage, meatball, bacon & ham. There was a good amount of meat, pizza held up to the weight of the toppings & it was very tasty. I was in the mood for chicken strips & we ordered Garlic Parmesan & Nashville Hot. For former was nice & garlicky, the latter was spicy but not killer. Large juicy pieces of chicken that were lightly breaded. I want more! That evening, Flat River Tavern was hosting music bingo. The dude running it came up to us as we sat down to invite us to play. We weren't interested but it was fun to listen to the music for the game. The restaurant always has something going on - live music, food specials, DJ trivia.

Flat Service, and a River of disappointment…read more I had high hopes as my brother had mentioned he had been here a few times and really enjoyed it Went here after watching a game with my father in Saturday. He is 82, and I'm no spring chicken either. The place was moderately busy, but definitely not packed. We found seats at the bar right away and sat down. We were immediately treated (assaulted?) to the sounds of a warbling guitarist on furlough from a nearby assisted living, dutifully plucking out misaligned chords along with a voice that would make RFK Jr. sound like Pavarotti's protege. She worked through several tunes from her hippie-esque youth, which seemed a a stark contrast to the overblown MAGA-licious decor of the place. Dad and I sat at the bar, ignored for several minutes while we watched the young woman bartender chat with and serve several other guests. This included people who had already been served drinks and meals. No "hello". No "I'll be right with you", just chatting and chatting and chatting with two guys halfway down the bar and pouring beers for the folks who still had what was left of their first (fifth?) beer in front of them. It was then that we saw another man behind the bar walking towards us. And I thought, "oh, this must be his part of the bar, then. Surely he'll greet us and pour us a beer." NOPE. The guy gets to about three feet from us at the bar and turns away from us to face the wall, remote in his hand. He's not a server, he's the 'change-the-channel' guy. A task he performed with all the skill and charisma of a WalMart greater on work release. That's it for me. I'm 10 minutes in and no one has even acknowledged that we were at the bar. I tell Dad we're heading and we both stand up to put on our coats. The grinding sound of the chairs sliding back across the sticky floor must have inspired the lone remaining customer service neuron in the Flirty McTownie's bartender brain because as I was putting on my coat she managed to slog her self over to where we were to ask "Hey guys, can I get you something?" "We're all set" was pretty much the only response I could muster that wouldn't have included a torrent of curses and insinuations regarding questionable parentage. We left Honestly, unless there's no other choice, drive the extra 6 minutes into town. There are much better bars and restaurants with much better service, Old Theater Diner or Black Oak among them. Frankly, you'd probably get better service at the hot counter at Dave's... Probably better pizza too... Though we wouldn't know.

My fiancé and I ordered the Dominican breakfast, its eggs over medium, fried cheese, fried salami, mashed plantains with onions. Now I'm Hispanic and I love me a good Dominican breakfast but this was one of the best I've had ever! And trust me I've had many! Firstly the salami and cheese pieces were nice and big, I'm used to people being cheap and making them very small. Also we did pick up- so we were there a few waiting as it was made fresh, which I appreciate! The server I wish I would've got her name had us have a seat at the bar and got us water while we waited. She was such an aunty vibe and I loved it. I was observing others who were sitting down eating and their food looked so yummy! They were also equally out loud expressing how much they enjoyed their food. Also the plates are all decked out and even the tables they gave off love vibes! This place while very small, packed a punch. Me and my fiancé are going to come back probably this weekend to sit down and enjoy a meal and I'm so excited. Give this place a go for sure. They have limited parking in the front on the street. But they have a good amount of parking in the back of the building. Trust me it's worth it.

Nina, who was helpful and so very friendly, alerted us to the full course meal. It happened to be a Monday evening and the full meal special was meatloaf which both Hubby and I do like. It was a full course meal. I ordered a grilled cheese since I knew I would enjoy some of his meal. The grilled cheese was extremely scanty having a very small amount of cheese so I would never select that again. However, the meal itself was quite good. Salad was excellent, meatloaf, vegetable and potatoes were high is scoring too! the dessert which was a phenomenal chocolate mousse cake was perfection. Eating that was heavenly!! So his very reasonable full course meal pleased both of us and we would try that again!!

See the hostess to be seated Food is diner type items such as a full on meatloaf meal, fish entrèe, Chicken parm, as well as sandwiches, burgers, pizza, apps and dessert. Something for just about everyone. Last visit I tried the taco salad. Theirs comes with black beans and a choice of ground beef or chicken in a flour tortilla bowl loaded with lettuce, tomato and cheese. This salad is huge. Banana peppers give it a slice kick with a medium salsa and sour cream side to mix in. Exellent dinner salad option. The chicken parm meal comes with spaghetti or ziti and is a large portion. You can also get the chicken parm as a sandwich if you prefer. Breakfast, lunch and dinner service. A local non-profit hosts an annual fund raiser here: a percentage of all meals eaten on a specific day goes to the non-profit organization. The restaurant does this often with local groups. Love that community spirit. Service is always friendly and attentive. Plenty of parking in front and to the side. Restrooms are by the door, a bit older but very clean.

However, I noticed an empty table available at the time. Fortunately, we were able to quickly make a reservation once we stepped outside and were then seated at that same table minutes later. I hope this is not a common occurrence, as it can take away from the overall experience and initial impression. That said, our server Sydney ( Australia), was incredibly kind and attentive. She ensured we were well taken care of from start to finish, which truly elevated our visit. The food and drinks were both excellent, and overall, I had a great experience after the mishap .

We had to ask about it, and by that point everyone else had their food and it was too late to bother. The food we did get was mediocre. Nothing was outright terrible, but certainly nothing worth waiting that long for. Then came the check. We asked to split it and somehow this turned into an ordeal that involved the staff literally calling someone on the phone trying to figure out how to do it. After all of that, they STILL couldn't figure it out. Slow service, a completely forgotten meal, mediocre food, and a bizarre inability to split a check. Unfortunately I can't think of a reason we'd come back.
