Fifth stop for the day. Second of the final three on today's RI FOOD FIGHTS Lord of the Pies run. Six pizzas total. By this point you start questioning your life choices, but then you walk into a place like Cosmic Pizza Steak & Weiners and remember why you're doing this. Cosmic Pizza was home base for Pilgrim High School kids back in the '80s. The place we'd hit after basketball and hockey games, when pizza was fuel and community was guaranteed. Walking in tonight felt like stepping into a time machine, except everything's been upgraded. The location moved down the street from the original spot. Cleaner now. More modern. Brighter. The kind of place that kept what mattered and improved everything else. And the pizza? Better than it was back then. The place was packed. Standing room only with about fifteen people waiting for orders despite the ovens running full tilt. Tables full, to go orders flying out the door. A neighborhood spot that's clearly still doing what it's always done, just evolved. Rob, the manager, runs the room like he's conducting an orchestra in the middle of a rush. The place is buzzing, hectic, absolutely humming with activity, but he's got it all under control. And somehow, in the middle of all that, he still takes the time to talk to you. Makes it clear how grateful he is that you showed up. That's not just good service. That's genuine hospitality under pressure. The pizza justifies the crowd. The crust is what stands out first. Super light, airy, crispy in a way that feels almost delicate but still has structure. Not thin crust territory but not thick either. Just right for what they're doing. The sauce brings herbs forward. Savory, not sweet. You can taste the seasoning, taste the intent behind it. The cheese is quality stuff, melts right, browns in the spots that matter. Whatever toppings you order are going to be good because they're clearly not cutting corners on ingredients. The operation itself is something to watch. Tons of people working, all moving fast, all under pressure. But every single one of them smiles. Acknowledges you. Makes it clear they're grateful you showed up. That's culture, not accident. That comes from the top down through Rob to everyone on the line. Nostalgia can mess with your judgment. Makes you think things were better than they were. But Cosmic proves you can go back and find something actually improved. The energy is the same. The community feel is the same. Everything else got better. The space, the food, the friendliness of everyone involved. Fifth pizza of the day, stomach protesting, and this one lands differently because of what it represents. A place that's been feeding a community for decades and somehow got better instead of coasting on history. Worth the wait. Worth the crowd. Worth coming back when you're not trying to eat six pizzas in one day. And we will.

On Wednesday we checked into Hampton Inn in Warwick Rhode Island. We had dinner at Cosmic Pizza Beef & Weiners! They don't call them Hot Dogs around here; they are called "WEINERS" & I was corrected more than twice when I called them Hot Dogs! Here on their weiners they put Meat Sauce with mustard onions and celery salt. I had to try one! Not going to lie. Not half bad but the meat sauce aka chili where I come from was a little bland. The Pizza was a Cosmic minus green peppers and add banana peppers. It was very good! I could have ate more of that!

If you're looking for the closest spot to the airport for a weiner, Cosmic is the place. Right off of Post Rd, it is ready to find with it's brightly lit sign. Inside we were greeted by the Pizza Queen and she was a charming ray of sunshine as we placed our order. The place was hustling to pump out food for a busy Saturday night. Once we placed our order we sat down at one of the many booths available in the small dining room. While we were waiting, a woman was expressing her dissatisfaction for an order of chicken tenders she had received. They were overcooked. When she brought it to one of the guys in the kitchen's attention, the first thing he did was try to explain why the food was overcooked. The woman was very kind about it, but she was firm that as a customer of over 13 years she has never experienced her chicken tenders being this crispy before. The cook continued to argue with her, with a second cook joining in. I think they finally realized that maybe they should make the customer happy when they noticed that all of us in the dining room were staring at them as they were arguing with this poor woman who just wanted properly cooked chicken tenders. It sounds to me like their oil was just too dark to serve food at the classic golden brown color. After that, our food was ready. And that's where things got better for us. The weiners themselves were perfectly cooked, beautifully soft steamed buns, the meat sauce very flavorful and just the right amount of mustard onions and celery salt. The fries themselves were unseasoned but we quickly fixed that with some salt and ketchup. While I did overall enjoy my dinner here at Cosmic, the attitude of that cook left a sour taste in my mouth so unfortunately I don't think I will be back. The only reason why I gave this 4 stars as opposed to the 3 I initially wanted to, was because of the Pizza Queen, her stellar service and the fact that I did enjoy the food. I did not think that the establishment deserved to be punished for one person's lack of customer service.

You see the measurement... 13 ounces of steak. Most places give you a 10 steak minimum...

I ordered the three-piece meal, and it arrived (and was brought to my seat!) fast. Everything was hot and fresh, the chicken tasted like it was straight out of the fryer, actually. I used the bathroom before I left for my 1.25-hour drive, too, and it was spotless. No notes! Overall I'd come back to this location, since the food was great and the restaurant was clean.

But not greasy tasting or to touch. Moist and tender meat every time! Very Crispy bite and lightly batter. Outstanding.

Raising Cane's keeps its concept incredibly simple, focusing almost entirely on chicken tenders,…read morefries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and its signature sauce. I walked into a bright, clean, and energetic restaurant with a fast-paced atmosphere that reflects how popular the chain has become. Even with a line forming at the counter, the staff kept things moving efficiently, and the operation felt well organized considering the volume of customers coming through the door. I went with one of the tender combos, which is really the reason most people come here in the first place. The chicken tenders were juicy, freshly cooked, and had a crispy coating that held up well without feeling overly heavy. The coating had a good crunch that stayed intact through the meal, and the chicken itself was moist and tender throughout. The real standout, though, is the Cane's Sauce. It adds a tangy, peppery flavor that works perfectly with the chicken and honestly ties the entire meal together. Between the tenders, crinkle-cut fries, and Texas toast, it is a simple meal, but one that is executed consistently well. The toast is buttery and soft, and the fries are solid enough to hold their own alongside the main event. One thing I have noticed is that the chicken can occasionally feel a little greasy depending on the visit, especially if you are ordering a larger combo. For some people that may not be an issue at all, while others might find it sits a bit heavy afterward. That has varied from visit to visit, but it is worth mentioning because the meal is definitely on the richer side compared to some other fast food chicken options. The coleslaw provides a lighter contrast, though it is a fairly standard version of the side and does not stand out the way the chicken and sauce do. The staff during my visit were friendly and efficient, and the restaurant was well maintained. Food came out quickly, and despite the limited menu, there is something refreshing about a place that focuses on doing one thing rather than trying to offer dozens of different options. The simplicity of the menu makes the decision process easy, and the consistency of the meal across visits is a big part of the appeal. Raising Cane's delivers a satisfying chicken tender meal with quality chicken, a great signature sauce, and consistently solid sides. It may not be the lightest meal around, but when you are in the mood for crispy chicken tenders and a straightforward comfort-food combo, it is easy to see why so many people keep coming back. The meal is familiar, filling, and hits the right notes for what it sets out to do.

Basic, mid, and meh. I bought into the hype, a year or so later. Let's call a spade a spade, it's…read morefast food. Cane's only provides about 3 of the same offerings packaged differently. If it were done exceptionally well that's one thing. Average at best are the facts. The outstanding part are the employees that buy into the brand. They were actually amazing.

I remember 5 - 10 years ago there weren't that many, so when you saw one you didn't mind that there was a 20 minute line to order. Now, they seem to be all over the place and the old school quality control just isn't there. At one time, I'd have put Shake Shack ahead of In n Out burger in terms of the actual taste. Perfectly caramelized, browned smash patties seasoned nicely giving them a crunchy but juicy salty pop. Now ... Maybe 1 out of every 4 burgers I get here is good. The rest are a greasy mess. All you can taste is the drippy grease which saturates the bottom bun and oozes from the patties. After 3 bites, your stomach starts to do somersaults and you feel full and gross. No more can you taste the seasoning or salty special burger sauce ... it's just nasty grease. Fries are consistently average here. It's hard to fuck up bagged crinkle fries ... but the fries are as much as most burgers elsewhere and pretty unremarkable. (In fairness, In n Out has this issue as well, despite being fresher.) The Shakes here are pretty rough compared to Chic Filet next door. It's a sugary milk shake which also makes your stomach do cartwheels. If the line wasn't so long at Chic Filet, I'd go there for their amazing milk shakes. For $7-$8 fucking bucks at Shake Shack, a milk shake is way overpriced and not great. Overall, it's no mystery why, even during peak times, this place has no line at all while Chic Filet's line stretches around the store. I can honestly say this is the worst Shake Shack I've been to from a quality control aspect. It's just never consistent and they have about a 25% track record at making a good burger. All other times, it's a greasy mess with no taste.

The interior is clean--almost startlingly so. White subway tile, wood-look floors, and that sprawling menu wall broadcasting "Fresh," "Spicy," and "Halal" like they actually mean something here. The young lady behind the counter had that genuine warmth you can't train into people. Not the "corporate manual says smile" routine, but someone who's actually invested in what they're serving. The sandwich arrived still hot. First bite tells the whole story--that perfect orange-colored crust breaks up properly, giving way to chicken that's fantastically seasoned all the way through. The bun holds everything without getting soggy or falling apart halfway through. It's the quick precision of fast food with the soul of something homemade. Those fries deserve their own paragraph--skinny, crisp, and seasoned with something that makes standard salt and pepper seem like amateur hour. Someone in that kitchen actually cares about the potatoes. What sets Maaz's apart is execution. They're not trying to create some wild new flavor profile or Instagram-bait sandwiches. They're just doing the basics perfectly, consistently, one serving at a time. Providence keeps turning up these gems--places that don't need fancy locations or PR campaigns, just seriously great food that creates its own word-of-mouth buzz. I'd open one of these in my hometown tomorrow if I could. The place would print money, not because it's revolutionary, but because it delivers exactly what it promises: the best version of a fast food chicken sandwich you've ever had. Worth the drive to Providence. Worth the tight parking. Worth every penny.

It's over-the-counter ordering, with pizzas another option, and more importantly, you can also get beer to complement your wings. -- Buffalo Wings: From the first visit, some of the best I've had in a long, long time. Not the biggest (I'd say right around average size), but they nailed every aspect, from the piercing tartness of the sauce to match the spice, to the butteriness, to the crispness of every surface, to the tender and juicy interiors on every piece. If that weren't enough, the blue cheese tipping sauce was also spectacular, with noticeable sharpness and lots of chunks of real cheese to go along with the creamy liquid. They matched the buffalo sauce nicely. -- Loganberry Wings: From the second visit, a Buffalo regional sauce mixing raspberry flavors with barbecue sauce. The result is a mix of sweet and savory in a rich, full-bodied sauce with plenty of oomph and plenty of cling. It's sweet for sure, but its barbecue sauce component cuts it and a dip into some ranch cuts it more while adding a little something. I loved the sauce. The wings, though, were a little bit smaller and a little bit dryer this time. Still very good. -- 716 Mulberry Chicken Fingers: Also from the second visit. Nothing like Chinese chicken fingers; more like a chicken tender, and more still like a chicken cutlet. Three flat pieces in the small order provided minimal thickness, but a decent amount of meat, spread out. The Mulberry sauce has a Buffalo base with some additional secret seasonings and other ingredients to change the flavor a bit. Not bad, but I think I'd go straight Buffalo next time. Tender inside, but no crispness outside. This includes fries, which were a very solid McDonald's facsimile. Notable: Easy parking in their own lot. A minimum 25-minute wait for wings, so plan accordingly. Friendly, helpful counter people. So two visits, one great, one very good. Some memorable sauces and some memorable presentations. I'll be back to see if they hit great again and get bumped to a 5.

The cup was much more tiny than I expected and filled only halfway, which was basically 3 spoonfulls of mac and cheese. Onto the review ... I have been on a junkfood kick lately. It's almost embarassing to see how many of my past reviews are for fast food. I have literally gone up a waist size in a few months and had broken the habit. Super stressed from work and craving something naughty, I surprised myself by pulling into this Popeye's as I drove past. It is like my need for calories and fat completely took over my willpower. I ordered their original chicken sandwich (spicy) and a side of mac & cheese. Popeye's Mac & Cheese is really second to none. I knew Tony Bourdain a bit. He was in my second layer of contacts ... and often he would stop into a Popeye's and get a large side of mac & cheese. It was a guilty pleasure for him and that's how I know it is good stuff. The chicken sandwich was otherworldly tasting after several months of being good diet-wise. I could literally probably think about it during sex to perform better ... thats how good it tasted. The crunch was perfect ... the spicy orange sauce wasn't overwhelming but instead a creamy complimemt to the chicken. The pickle slices added some tanginess and the bread didn't do anything except make it easier to eat vs. some sandwiches where the bread fights for top billing. The chicken was thick and filling. Though I could have easily driven back around and eaten another, one filled me up. I have tried Chick Filet, Raising Cane's and KFC and there is no comparison. Popeye's wins hands down. Chick Filet is no slouch, as Ty Webb would say. But Popeye's original chicken sandwich was practically orgasmic. Eating it was like hearing The Beatles for the first time in Mono. Sure, Popeye's gets some hate. The workers here weren't trained well and 3 cars at the drive through took almost 20 minutes to get through. But the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was tje ecstacy of fast food that tasted like it did when I was a kid 20 years ago vs. the literal shit most drivethroughs serve now.
