They usually have seasonal options and I love that. Drinks are creative and they have a lot to pick from. The ambiance is great. We actually enjoy sitting at the 'pizza bar'. It's fun to watch the cooks at work. There's no bad here and I'll come back as it's my local pub option. But when pressed to suggest a favorite dish recently by someone who was with us, I had to confess that I can't recommend anything. I've tried so many things on the menu and all have been decent but nothing stands out. If I was not local, I'd never come back. When I think of other similar pub-like restaurants in the state, (Charlestown Rathskeller, The East End) I travel way out of my way for them. Blackie's gets my business just when I'm not in the mood or have the time to take a longer drive.

I did go at 3pm and I was the only person in there, so I'm sure that had some effect on the quality of food. The rice was a little hard and cold, a majority of the toppings were fresh and crisp, but even the protein was a bit cold. The amount of sauce on top was drowning as well. The worker was very nice and walked me through the options which I appreciated.

I'm looking forward to going back to try other menu items. For some reason this never posted but this was previous owners. I'm okay to see them go: I love supporting local and have referred many people here. I stopped by in November to see if they would be interesting in advertising in North Providence Wrestling Tournament Ad book (local businesses donate anywhere from $25 for 1/4 page to $100 for whole) that is passed out at door at yearly Highschool wrestling tournament. The owner said she already placed an ad with someone else who came in. She didn't..... I dropped off a letter (see photo) last week asking for their support (sponsor, gift card, small donation) for yearly funny for funds benefit. I explained this year it benefits NPHS wrestling team as well as a teammate recovering from cancer treatment. My husband stopped by again and owner pretended to not be owner and said she'd give it to owner. I love to support local but have a hard time doing so with businesses that don't give back to the community and blatantly bullshit people rather than a polite "no I'm not interested." With that said I won't continue to eat here nor will I refer people. North side pockets has much better food and always gives back to the comm

I've seen on social media that people complained about the new location having mainly street parking - we both found parking easily on the street - quit yer b*tchin' people lol. Besides I believe they have a lot behind the restaurant that we didn't have to use but it's there if needed. We were the only ones there when we first walked in but more patrons came in as the night went on. Made our way to the bar and orders were flowing - one warning if you're sitting at the bar, it is an open kitchen so there will be alot of aromas flowing through and may get on your clothes but really it'll just remind you of how good the food was. Also, the barstools are not the most comfy - metal stools with no backing so after 2.5 hours, we were feeling a bit achy. We ordered way more than we should've but everything just looked so good! We got the croquettes (our absolute fave), the cauliflower, the pizza du jour (I think it had spinach, pepperoni, ricotta and garlic) and for entrees we got the fish tacos and the Orecchiette. Not one complaint - everything was divine. Croquettes were melty, smoky little nuggets of heaven and our favorites bites of the night. The pizza had a great balance of flavors and the crust was thin and crispy. We were so full but had a few bites of the fish tacos and pasta - the fish was cooked to perfection and the aioli it came with topped it perfectly. Pasta was different - had a scallion cream sauce that was a nice change up from your typical Alfredo. Don't sleep on this place - the street is busy being on a main road but so well worth the visit, I didn't catch our bartender's name but he and a few other servers were super personable and friendly - gave us just enough time in between meals and personal space to not hover. Absolutely will return!

The whole place had less than a dozen tables - but oddly, we were there for an hour and more than half of the tables remained empty. Not a huge deal just felt weird at the bar. Eclectic decor and menu. Mostly tapas (my husband had the mushrooms) but some main meals - I had the prime rib. But when I asked if I could get the potatoes without chives I was told they were premade and couldn't customize, so not sure if they are made in house or brought in. Delicious either way - even with the scallions. Prime rib wasn't quite medium well but it was well cooked so I didn't send it back. There is some foul language in some of the stickers on the kitchen door (and you have to go through that door to get to the restrooms). And the manager was a little off putting to us when he learned we were from out of town he suggested a visit to the dispensary. He also commented on how dressed up we were - when both us us were just in silk button up shirts. The meal for the two of us came to $100 with only one glass of wine so it's not like this is a cutoff shorts and string t kind of place. My husband wasn't bothered by the comment but I didn't like it - we were also the only same sexed couple in the place so maybe I was a little on edge. Seemed very much a place for locals and a couple of tables were there when we got there were still going strong when we left. So definitely a hang out spot.

This is a pretty straightforwardly vegetarian restaurant without a theme other than that and…read morewithout a lot of bells and whistles. But it's a nice place to eat in (with a couple of outdoor seats for drier days) and the menu is broad and worthwhile. Most of the things on there were more real food and less fake meat, including the house red bean burger on a pretzel bun that I tried. It was grilled up nicely and it really felt like I was eating a burger in New England on a cultural level. It came with a side salad by default; I was a little confused by the lack of fries or other small side options; their other salads seemed meal-sized and the appetizers were a bit much for me as well. So I just got a tea, which was fine for my needs at the time. There was plenty else to try, and it wasn't overly dependent on soy or on any one particular foodstuff, which is important for vegetarian restaurants. They are vegetarian and not vegan and will ask if you want dairy cheese on certain items, but it's overall got plenty for the plant-based diet. Even as a lifelong vegetarian, I'll give a skip to some vegetarian restaurants because they don't do things this well, but I came out of here thinking that this place did exactly the right things to meet my expectations.
