    Quiche
    Samantha C.

    Overall, I liked Frank and Laurie's and will likely visit again so I can get a better feel for their menu. I enjoyed my coffee, and the hash browns were perfectly crisp and paired nicely with an aioli. I thought the quiche was OK; I liked the sweet potato topping but felt like the egg was not as cooked as I am used to. Therefore, that may be just my personal preference and not an issue with the restaurant. I am usually pretty adventurous with food and not very picky, but I did not love the deviled eggs either. However, my friend really enjoyed the pancakes and it was a pretty generous portion. In terms of ambiance, this is an adorable spot to catch up with friends over brunch. Definitely call and make a reservation for large groups, or expect to wait a bit when you check in; I went with one person on a Wednesday at noon and only waited 15 minutes, which was not bad! Staff were nice as well.

    The Pork Shoulder sandwich.

    Worthy of the coveted Tee Z Sixth Star! A midday last minute lunch choice turned out to be a winner. Hours are 10-3p only. We had the pork shoulder sandwich and the patty melt, using the butterscotch doughnut as an appetizer lol . The sandwiches were just simply incredible, service, five star and very friendly everything you would expect from a place on the east side of Providence. Please note that a 20% gratuity is added to all checks, and off street parking is available. If you enjoy a eclectic fresh and hip meals, this is The Place.

    Finally made it to Frank & Laurie's for dinner! The restaurant was cozy and quite nice inside. My friend and I shared everything and it was more than enough food. We got the tuna crudo, which was light and the perfect amount of citrus. We also got mussels with creamed beans, which was an interesting combination and probably my fav dish of the night. The lasagna was quite unique, as it was crispy instead of the regular soft lasagna. We finished with a kiwi chocolate mousse, which was delicious and reminded me of mint chocolate. I'd definitely come back to try them for breakfast!

    Deviled eggs

    Frank & Lauries was our first stop in Providence and we can see why Gwyneth Paltrow gave them a shout out (supposedly). We started off with some bevvies from the counter while we waited for our table. I got the special paw paw latte. It was an interesting concept but to be completely honest, it just tasted like a latte to me! I didn't taste anything special or any subtle notes of pear or anything fruity for that matter. This was a miss for me. For food, we decided on the hash browns to share and I got their special scallop salad. It was really nice and refreshing for the hot day. My husband got the patty melt and devoured it. I had a bite as well and it was delicious. We also had the deviled eggs which were definitely more elevated than the deviled eggs I grew up on. I really liked it! The hash browns were my favorite though. So crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum!

    Croque monsieur ($19) fell flat for me.

    Frank and Laurie's puts a lot of thought and effort into their food, that is clear. The dine in area is buzzing on a weekend- there aren't many places you'll walk into with the same kind of energy. The staff seems like they really enjoy what they're doing; despite running around non-stop. The food is great, however I think I had quite high expectations that were not met. I'd say my expectations correlated pretty well the pricing of things.. It's expensive here. California specialty bakery/French pastiserie prices without delivering as well. The quiche was very good but it leaned slighty to far towards gelatinous for me. I would have liked for it to lean more towards creamy or eggy, it was too gelatin-like. The sauces, flavors, peppers and texture from the fried cheese were phenomenal. The crust was lackluster. $18 is steep for even a quiche of this size. Especially with the automatic %20 gratuity. More on that later. The Croque monsieur was overall kind of a let down. The bread was wonderfully tangy, slight chew, good texture and depth of flavor- likely helped by the ground mustard. The roasted pork was flavorless, dry, and just kind of fell apart. The egg should have been a runny egg- scrambled egg here was also not a value add. A runny yolk would have helped with mouth feel all around. $19 on this is OK, still pricey, but it was substantial. Just not amazing. The donut, I personally wouldn't bother. The texture of the donut was very good but the filling had no flavor. Wait for them to have a more fruit forward flavor then I'd say go for it. This was a creamed corn flavor or something like that. $6 Not pictured I got their hot coffee, just don't. There are too many great coffee shops close by to drink mediocre coffee. Wasted $5, unfortunately. Now, the gratuity. Automatic 20%? Fine.. Until I'm waiting an hour for my food.. And the staff isn't Eben on top of keeping the water full when we were sitting at the bar area. The service was absolutely not worthy of a 20% tip. I can't say I'll be riding to come back but I'll try the dinner here at some point- my expectations are a bit more tempered now and yours should be, too. Don't expect a life changing experience. They're elevated here, but I'm after more than just presentation and technique- give me the flavor and service.

    Eggs

    This was a pit stop as we drove from New Jersey, Connecticut, and finally Rhode Island. My favorite dish from this place was the deviled eggs. Everything here was a little fat/protein heavy. So if you're mostly plant based or vegetarian, I would steer clear of this place. Memorable contenders were the hash browns and potato bowl. I thought the menu prices reflecting gratuity inclusion was a neat concept.

    Oh Frank and Laurie, what have you done?! The words unexpected and inconspicuous come to mind. Who would have guessed this little dining space located on the corner street of neighborhood could pack such a punch. The menu itself? I can't even fully grasp the theme. Is it Lunch? Brunch? Something in between? From pancakes to porridge, soups salad an and sandwiches, it all honestly feels a little all over the place. But the food though!! Creative, flavorful, absolutely spectacular. The biscuits: buttery, flakey, crumbly goodness. It's not easy finding a great biscuit, especially anywhere outside of the South. Deviled eggs: flavor on flavor on texture on flavor. Smoked trout roe? Yes please. I've have a lot of deviled eggs, but can't say I've ever had better. The creative juices were certainly flowing with this one. Hash brown: This more than anything is the reason I came to Frank and Laurie, and it did not disappoint. A cubbed hash brown, perfectly golden brown and crispy on the outside while being beautifully melty on the Inside? This feels like something a mad culinary scientist cooked up in a lab. Some things you just have to experience for yourself. Sometimes you got to go with the flow, and when it works, it works! After just one visit, this charming little spot has gone ahead and snatched my heart. I'll be dreaming of my return....

    I stopped in for breakfast and was genuinely impressed. Everything I tried was incredibly tasty and fresh, and you can tell real care goes into the food. The service was absolutely impeccable, friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. It's rare to find a place that nails both quality and hospitality, but this spot truly does. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Where to start. Was recommended to come here and so glad I did. This is a brunch spot that does dinner on Friday's only. Due to timing decided to come for lunch. Daniel gave excellent service and recommendations. The hash browns were perfectly crisp and tender inside. The deviled eggs were not your typical deviled eggs. The flavor was delightful and unexpected. The star dish is the poached eggs and potatoes !! This one I cannot explain but it works and will try to recreate at home.

    Hash browns
    Amber C.

    WOW my new favorite restaurant in Providence!! If a friend was visiting me in Providence and going for brunch, this is 100% where I would take them. It's a cute little mom&pop style restaurant located on the corner of a street that serves amazing food that's well balanced in terms of flavor and texture. Wait staff also very attentive and warm! Must get food: the hash browns! Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sprinkle of salt on top. Oyster aioli as the perfect dip on the side! Also the foccacia in any form. Foccacia with soup was my favorite (soup changes seasonally) Other brunch foods we enjoyed: donut (flavor changes seasonally, but so good), pancakes (fluffy, thick, with dash of salt and generous butter). Deviled eggs (not a big deviled eggs person, but if you are you definitely should get it, the crispy rice on top is great textural change!) Parking: on the street, usually plenty of spots open on the streets nearby though

    Lamb sausage and polenta.
    Robert H.

    I had a lovely brunch at Frank & Laurie's. I decided to order a few different dishes, starting with the deviled eggs - with roe and crunch they had a lovely texture and taste. I also ordered one of the seasonal salads, with celery root, lemon, and apples. It was very well prepared and plated. The lemons dominated the flavor profile of the salad. Lastly I ordered one of the mains - my favorite dish - lamb sausage on creamy polenta. The sausage was superb - tender and well seasoned - and with the polenta it was divine. Great plating. Service was very warm. The decor reminded me of Scandinavian - very modern and beautiful counter.

    New age, creative taste. Warm atmosphere, shared seating tables to maximize space. Friendly staff. Team environment. Parking can be a little tricky during the week. Tried the hot chocolate with homemade whip cream. Not sweetened. It's an adult taste not for kiddos. Opened up with the hash browns, they aren't the usual. Everyone has their own spin. Here they are little crispy cubes served with Aioli. Then ordered the breakfast sandwich. Sausage, egg, cheese and onion. The sausage seems home made. The eggs were just mind blowing. They were super soft and called steamed eggs. Fluffy and flavorful. It all meshed well together the cheese on top was just that. Perfect! Overall, this place is worth it for the service and food. They add an automatic 20% gratuity. I'm never a fan, but this was well earned and deserved. Recommend not coming during rush hour, due to limited parking.

    Hashbrowns
    Aheli P.

    From the creators of our favorite pop-up, Thick Neck, comes a new brunch (and Friday night dinner) spot that's quickly becoming our neighborhood favorite. Frank & Laurie's brings "elevated grandma chic" vibes, and the food is just as homey. The menu changes often, but don't miss the deviled eggs and the best hashbrowns you'll ever have--a crispy, cubed block of fried goodness served with oyster sauce. Pro Tips: - It gets VERY busy on weekends and Fridays, so try making a reservation. There is a cute park across the street for while you wait - Weekdays are easier to stop in - Don't miss the hashbrowns and the deviled eggs

    After seeing maven's delicatessen on Instagram, I had to come here…read more It was a blistering hot day out, and I walked into a pleasantly air-conditioned establishment. Loved the atmosphere and the place was spotless. One of the waitresses seated us asked us if we'd like a drink and pickles with coleslaw. We said yes pickles were great. Coleslaw was very vinegary. Was not a fan of that. We both ordered half a pound of pastrami sandwiches with Swiss cheese and mustard. The pastrami was very lean and sliced very thin and that was good. But I found the pastrami lacking in flavor. I think I was expecting pastrami like they sell at Katz's deli or the old now closed Carnegie's in New York. Would come back to try other things.

    I really wanted to like Maven's. With all the hype surrounding this place, I expected something…read morespecial. After several visits, though, I'd describe it with one word: meh. To be clear, the food isn't bad. It's perfectly edible. The problem is that it's also remarkably average, especially considering the prices they're charging. Nothing I've ordered has made me think, "I can't wait to come back for that." It's just...fine. We actually visited during opening weekend, and it was a bit of a mess. They ran out of pastrami, which is a pretty big problem for a deli that was generating so much excitement. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because opening weekends can be chaotic. Since then, we've been back several times hoping things would improve, but the experience has been largely the same. The biggest issue, aside from the food being average, is the service. It's consistently slow. I can understand waiting when a restaurant is packed, but we've experienced long waits even when there were very few customers inside. It feels like everything moves at half speed, and that's been true on multiple visits. I also think they're trying a little too hard to be Katz's Delicatessen. That's an incredibly high bar, and instead of trying to recreate that experience, I'd rather see them focus on becoming the best version of themselves. Right now, it feels like the ambition exceeds the execution. The one thing I will gladly compliment is the bagels. They've been excellent every time we've ordered them, and honestly, they're probably the strongest item on the menu. I do think there's plenty of room for improvement, which is why I'm giving two stars instead of one. There's clearly potential here, and I genuinely hope they find their footing because I'd love to have another great deli in the area. We'll probably give them another chance down the road, and I hope I can come back and update this review with a much more positive experience.

I warmed them up at home and when I took a bite into the buttery flaky crust, I was hooked. These were so delicious I instantly regretted not getting more things to try.

The person behind the counter let me know that their menu changes weekly based on the what ingredients are in season and available. Another customer told me that everything is good and that I couldn't go wrong with whatever I selected.

    Me and a couple others came here for dinner on a Sunday. There was a decent sized parking lot right…read morein front of the building for about 5-6 cars. Inside, there were about 10-12 tables. Since we were 5 people, we joined a couple tables to have more space. We went to the counter to grab a menu and decide on what we'd get. To have a diverse plate, we decided on pasta and meatballs, a large grilled chicken sandwich with everything + mayo, and a large pizza 3-way combo - onions and pepper, pepperoni, and sausage. They don't have 2 L bottles of soda, but they were nice enough to let us know we could go buy one across the street at the gas station (downside: they are not refrigerated). They also asked if we wanted everything at the same time or whenever they're done; It was a kind gesture. After about 20-30 minutes, the food came out. It was hot, fresh, and overall, everything was delicious. The pasta and meatballs came out in an aluminum container, about 5 in x 8 in. There was a good amount of red sauce and 4 big meatballs. The meatballs were really delicious, with the red sauce being average, and the pasta cooked a bit longer than al dente. I usually prefer white sauces, but red is the only option they have. They couldn't cut to the sandwich is 5 pieces since it would create a mess, so the best they could do is 4. The sandwich was toasted perfectly. It had a good amount of chicken. The toppings were fresh. Although it was a simple sandwich, I was very pleased with the taste. The pizza was good. My only complaint would be that I wish it were cooked a bit more for a crispier experience - in hindsight, I should've specified this when ordering. This also goes for the veggies where I wish they were grilled to have a slight char before putting it on the pizza or allowing them to get crispy. However, I think flavor wise, it was good. The sausage was really delicious and the cheese, although it didn't have a pull, it was the right amount and tasty. We paid about $50 for this food, which was good considering the 5 of us ate and left satisfied.
