They took are drink orders and handed us menus right away. After taking our food order, our food came out within 15 minutes. The French toast was crazy good! Honestly I probably just could have eaten that and been satisfied. The Philly omelette was okay, I have to say the same for the home fries as well. If you're use to seasoning then you'll be let down but salt and pepper helps here. The toast was just right and helps keep you full. Overall, the food was good. I can see why it's a packed place and if I happened to be in RI again, I'd definitely stop by again.

We came around noon on a Saturday and only had to wait a minute or two for a table.

Gel's is a great little neighborhood restaurant. They are located at the end of a strip mall, right…read morenear the road at the 'entrance/exit'. Parking is shared with several other businesses. There is no 'handicapped parking' specifically for Gel's due to the way the parking lot is designed. There is a small vestibule between the outside and the inside where you will find a community food pantry. Take something if you need it, or leave something for your neighbors. This is such a lovely offering and very much in line with Gel's local community mind set. The doors into the vestibule are heavy glass and metal. Seat yourself in one of the booths. When they remodeled they added a small bar to the back area if you prefer counter seating. They offer a variety of mimosa flavors at breakfast and beer and wine at lunch. Although I suppose if you want a beer with your eggs, have at it. The front and side walls have large windows making the interior bright. They offer so many specials. Check out all the white boards on the back wall above the counter seating. These are in addition to their standard menu. Breakfast items include egg based meals (eggs & bacon & toast for ex.), pancakes, hash and lots of al la carte sides. Coffee is good and comes with free refills. The lunch menu includes sandwiches, salads, soups, wraps and they have a kids menu too. They also offer Kino if you like. They sell Gel's merch (holiday gifts?) and decorate for all the holidays.

Good food, fair value, and a great overall spot. Great job team. **4.5/5, recommended**

The man working was pretty rude, mocked me saying "hi" for no reason, and licked his fingers before opening the bag to put my muffin in. Maybe it was an off day but still isn't really a good excuse to act so strangely to a customer and have bad hygiene practices in the food industry.

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 were both quite impressed with Athena's. The staff is friendly and attentive but not overly so. The food is delicious. Anything from a simple eggs over, to two fabulous Eggs Bendict choices and many other dishes in between to choose from. My friend took another friend and she was also surprised and wondering why--we hadn't tried Athena's before! We both live in Cranston! Athena's is a nice neighborhood breakfast spot and that is what Athena's does--breakfast and Athena's does breakfast well! You will not leave Athena's hungry.

Overall, a solid diner experience with friendly service and plenty of food.

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.
