When I saw Krakow on the list for the RI FOOD FIGHTS #bestscoopshopri, I was immediately excited. I…read morehave been wanting to come and check this place out for some time. Finally I had my excuse to make the trip north to Woonsocket. I'm so glad I did. This place packs in so much stuff! A full grocery, plus deli counter and you can order a hot lunch. There's a cozy seating area with Polish clothing, books and art around to give it life. I walked around ten store for a bit, overwhelmed by all the delights on the shelves. I picked up a few items and went to the register. There, I also picked up my scoop. They serve homemade gelato and sorbet here, and I chose the amarena gelato (cherry). She served it up, added a cute little cookie and then I went outside to sit and eat. The texture of this wasn't quite gelato. But it wasn't quite sorbet, either. It was almost like a sherbert. It was smooth, fruity and a little creamy. The marinated cherry flavor really came through. If I could compare it to something family, it was like a grown up version of the old Flintstone Cherry sherbet Push-Up popsicle. I loved it. And I will get it again next time I come in. Krakow is such a special place, their Polish selection is awesome. It made me want to buy a Polish cookbook to learn how to use all the ingredients I saw! If you've ever had a pierogi, that's enough reason to stop in. Just make sure you get some gelato, too!

We made 20 pierogi to take home (with sautéed bacon and onion), but they fed us so much food: borscht, mushroom croquette, bigos (hunter's stew), kielbasas, potato salad, gołąbki, leniwe (lazy pierogi), and apple filled pierogi. We also got a 10% discount, so I naturally had to bring home a babka! They are such dynamic instructors and the shop is lovingly decorated in all sorts of Knick Knacks from Poland, including a fabulous wall covered in Polka album covers. Excellent experience all around.

Thursday night, and Lj's Kitchen fills up while you eat. It starts with one other table in the…read moreroom. By the time the pizza's gone, the bar is full and most of the tables are too. TVs overhead running NESN, a chalkboard listing specials that include a meatball ricotta pizza and a fried green tomato BLT, and a room that goes from quiet to humming in the time it takes to finish dinner. Lauren and I ordered a ten-inch bar pie, pepperoni and meatball, and a chicken parm sandwich on the side with a pile of fresh-cut potato chips. It's what a bar pie should be. Cheese bronzed and even, that dark caramelized edge where it ran past the crust and met the hot pan, the sauce light, not heavy or oversweet, meatball torn into rough chunks, clearly homemade, its flavor strong enough to overpower the rest of the pie a little. Solid pie. The chicken parm sandwich held its own too, cutlet clearly hand-breaded and fresh, not some frozen thing dropped in a fryer, sauce richer and heavier than the pizza's, soaking into good bread without turning it to mush, and those chips tasted like someone actually fried them that day. But the pizza wasn't the thing I kept thinking about on the drive back. It was how fast our drinks got refilled, even as the place filled in around us. How someone checked on us without hovering, the way regulars get checked on, not the way tables get checked on. LJ's has the feel of a neighborhood watering hole where the staff knows half the room by name, except somehow you don't feel like the other half. You feel like you belong, on your first visit, before you've ever said your name. The place is named for the owners' six-year-old daughter, LunaJett, who we hear is a lead waitress on Sundays. Makes sense. It's the kind of restaurant that makes you feel like family before you've finished your first beer, whether you're six or sixty. Not a pilgrimage. But worth the drive to Woonsocket on a Thursday night, and worth going back again.

When you walk up to the door, the place seems small. Like a hole in the wall. Inside is anything but. Colorful murals, custom skateboard decks and modern art adorn the walls. Bright pops of color in between the TVs playing a variety of news and sports at the bar My friend and I were there for one thing: the 10" pub style pizza. I wasn't sure what style of pub/bar/tavern pie it would be but I was eager to find out. Our bartender was super friendly and quickly put in our order. We got two pizzas. One standard pepperoni and the other Chicken + Pickle. The pizzas came out ripping hot and smelling heavenly. The crust of these pies is more akin to a pan style pizza than what I would think of as a bar or tavern pie. It had that buttery crisp that reminds me of old school Pizza Hut (and I mean that complementary!). The sauce was a solid supporting character, the real star are the cheese and toppings here. It tastes and stretches like they use a blend of cheddar and mozzarella. The pepperoni was cooked to perfection. The cups pooling with oil and so crunchy. The chicken was quite tender and most on the other pizza, and the dill pickle taste was in full force, exactly as I was hoping! While I was hoping to find something like South Shore Bar Pie, what I did find was an awesome pub pan pizza in a spot that I've passed 100s of times. I'm glad I stopped in and I'll definitely be back. That pepperoni could not have been cooked any better

I feel like they've stayed true to themselves over the years with their theming, but especially with their prices. It's so nice to see that their prices haven't gone through the roof, despite the difficult economy. I think The Beef Barn is a perfect example of an establishment that has done things right and stayed loyal to their customers, therefore having their customers stay loyal to them. You always know what you're getting at The Beef Barn and that's exactly how it should be. I typically visit the other location because it is closer to me, but I was in the Bellingham area and was happy to be able to visit this location. I will continue visiting The Beef Barn in the future. I love it and I hope they continue to be successful for years and years to come!

I also want to thank her daughter who's the waiter there for recommending the corned beef hash and the blueberry pancakes that were absolutely delicious. The food was made with so much love and the coffee was freshly brewed. Everything was made to order as a diner should be and it was super quick and did I mention the price? We are in 2026 and we got hungryman breakfast that came with eggs, bacon, home fries and pancakes. We also got plain crepes, a coffee, orange juice, a side of ham, and a side of corned beef hash for all under 41 bucks. I am so happy we decided to give this place a try today as we've lived here for about 3 months and always walk by it and I've always said I wanted to try it. Finally. We did and I think we're going to be the weekend regulars from now on. And if this next phrase doesn't convince you to try this place, I don't know what will. THEY TAKE CRISPY EDGES INTO CONSIDERATION FOR PANCAKES. You know what I'm talking about ‍ This is definitely a cute date place or even if you just want to take your friends out to eat or trying to impress your parents on a good diner this is the place. You can tell they are very good even before you get the food as there are locals who show up there and it's all about laughter and good times inside. You got the old school bar stools where people can eat breakfast at the bar. You have the booths and you have some tables by the front door that are cozy. The whole place is just a great vibe matches the great food! So let's cut to the chase here about the food! I ordered the hungry man special as I mentioned above. Eggs, bacon, home fries and blueberry pancakes. I rate my whole plate and 11 out of 10. It was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a side of ham that was the star of the show for me. And it made it taste even better when the waiter told me they cut it straight off the bone. I've never had ham straight off the bone so that was pretty cool haha my coffee was actually really good. Also. I'm not sure what kind they brew but it must be straight from the coffee bean trees because my goodness that was delicious. My wife ordered plain crepes and an order of corned beef hash. Originally she only ordered the plain crepes but then we were told that the corned beef hash was homemade and we were like, we definitely have to try this! So we ordered it but I forgot to take a picture but let me just say she was very happy eating them. The plain crepes were exactly what she wanted as she felt like pancakes would be too heavy for her early in the morning. She said it was sweet and delicious. Also said the corned beef hash was one of the best ones she's ever had. Overall I feel like I could just keep going on about how amazing this place is and how I wish it was the next day already so I could show up and eat breakfast again hahaha thank you guys so much for the great breakfast and hospitality! We will definitely be back! -Kass & Wawa
