Meh Local spot right…read morenext to one of our bar favorites Mr. Bigg's. I have a question, the place is called the Chicken Coop but in theory they have very few chicken options to eat. A fried chicken sandwich with different toppings options, chicken fingers, and wings. No grilled chicken options, fried chicken on a salad (that's not a salad), and just as many burger options as chicken. Fried chicken boneless wings, which are the same as half cut chicken tenders and fried chicken sliders (which is basically a small fried chicken sandwich). As for the fried chicken sandwiches we ordered, 6 out of 10. A bit greasy and the a bun that's a bit too bready. Removed half the bun to eat. We also had wings, they were pretty good. Fried right, good sauce. Bright spot here was the service, server and bartender were very friendly and attentive. It was Friday night at 6:30 and it was slow. I think the issue here is that if you don't want a fried chicken sandwich or a burger you're gonna go elsewhere. Really need to evaluate the menu. Local business and I hope it does well, but there are things to fix here. Try it and formulate your own opinion. Thanks

I really appreciate that they offer a variety of cider flavors to choose from so it makes it easy to find something I enjoy. They usually have different food trucks outside each week, which is fun if you're in the mood to try something new. There's also a small food menu inside, though it's a bit limited if you're just looking for snacks. The cashier who took our orders was friendly, the space was clean, and it wasn't too crowded, which made the experience even better. I'd definitely come back again!

It was pretty much what I expected based on reviews: pretty good drinks in a classic cocktail style setting. I didn't think there was anything that stuck out or made it original. It took a little while for the bartender to make our drinks, but once ready, we decided to bring them over to the lower table area. Once we were finished and walking out, the bartender asked us to bring up all of our glasses and napkins to the bar. I thought bussing our own table was a little odd too. Overall, nothing to write home about but also not bad.

I like their tequila and gin drinks - they usually ask if you want a single or double shot for your cocktail. Their slider selection is good too- each other comes with two and you can add an additional one for an up charge. I like their " big mac " sliders with a side of waffle fries, but their shoe string fries are also tasty. They also have shareable " fish bowl " cocktails for 2 - 5 people, and I like the " Shark Attack " - you get a rubber ducky and candy on the bottom! They also have desserts - churros, smores, & fried oreos. So delicious and good portion. The outdoor patio is nice to sit at for large parties, but there's a good amount of seating inside as well. The staff are also really nice, and service is quick and attentive - even on a busy night. Wish there were more spots like this in RI!!

I'm assuming this has to do with the location since it's the only liquor store within walking distance of RIC (although RIC is a dry campus....).

Our whole family can't stop talking about how good everything was. That says a lot. First, the space. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the acoustics are genuinely impressive. My grandfather wears hearing aids and he had zero trouble following conversation all night. That's rare and it meant so much to us. We had a reservation and they sat us early, which immediately set the tone. The bread and bread oil kit they bring out? Do not skip it. Just trust me. We had kids with us and their food came out so fast I actually laughed. Our food followed shortly after and the pasta was truly exceptional. Just genuinely high quality, generous portions, and completely worth every penny. We were shocked at how affordable the bill was for what we got. Our server Envy was an absolute gem. Friendly, attentive, and so kind. But honestly the whole staff was like that. Other servers who weren't even in our section came over just to joke around with our kids. The table was never cluttered. A dirty dish sat in front of us for maybe ten seconds before it was gone. I travel for work domestically and for pleasure domestically and internationally and can say that Bar Lino is the only flawless restaurant experience I have ever had. Flawless from start to finish.

Bar Lino is the newest, and they've built something that has no business looking this good in a Johnston strip mall. Red leather barstools, black tile floor with white cross inlay, globe pendants, warm light, a full liquor wall. Walk in and you forget where you parked. Start with the meatballs. Two of them, in sauce, with a dollop of ricotta on the plate. Tender, dense, moist all the way through. The sauce and the meat came from the same place of intention. Sunday dinner The ricotta cooled things down just enough. Get these. We went for the grandma pizza. Fior di latte, pepperoni, black olives added. It arrived on a sheet pan looking exactly right, cut into squares, edges golden. The crust looked like it would crunch, somewhere between focaccia and Pizza Hut visually and in its golden brown texture, but it didn't deliver in either direction. The sauce soaked into the dough. The cheese separated from the top. The pepperoni carried the pie, crispy-edged and punchy, and did it well. The grandma pie has four versions on the menu. The one with pink vodka sauce and roasted garlic might be worth the next visit. If I come back again I am probably going to shoot for a chicken or veal parm because I think they probably do an excellent version of that based on all visual cues. Service was professional and well-timed. There when you needed them, gone when you didn't.
