    Pancakes
    Cori F.

    This place is super cute. I've been twice. Both times we walked into what seemed very busy and were quoted reasonable times. Our wait time was 5-10 minutes less than predicted which was a nice surprise. There are some larger tables where they seat multiple parties and some small tables. The staff are all pleasant and efficient. The food is so delicious. It's a relatively small menu and it changes. The drinks are delicious. The baguettes are SO good. The first time we went it was an eggplant option and the second time was tuna (pictured). Both were great. The patty melt was delicious. The tomato sandwich was delightful and the pancakes were good too. Everything had great flavor. The hashbrowns were interesting. They were large cubes of potato and very good. The sandwiches have been my favorite. The flavors just can't be beat. We will for sure be back.

    3.5 stars but not at all because of the quality of food. We waited over 45 minutes for our food while watching others who sat down AGES after us and therefore ordered AGES after us get their food. They ended up giving us free brownies and free orange juice to make up for their mistake (maybe forgot to put our order in?), but still maybe could've gotten a comp for one of our dishes that we had already ordered instead of new dishes we didn't need. I'm grateful don't get me wrong just.... The food was delicious though. I'm not a huge biscuit person but the biscuit was yummy and flaky which I feel like is different from normal ones? Idk regardless was good and it came with grapefruit jam and butter yum. The hash browns were hands down my fav dish. So oily and crispy and everything a hash brown should be MMMM plus the aioli and cubed presentation. The pancakes were so good and fluffy and GIANT and the whipped butter was yummy on top. The maitake madame was something different but nonetheless good. It was very mustardy but also not too overwhelmingly mustardy and the cheese on top the crispy bread was perfect. All in all the food was superb but the long wait time is what ultimately brought this rating down. The place was also very crowded and lively up until closing, no doubt due to the delicious food

    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.
    Tee Z.

    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.

    Deviled eggs
    Brittany T.

    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.
    Michael P.

    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.

    Kiwi chocolate mousse
    Megan H.

    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!

    Eggs
    Cris K.

    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.

We were sadly in a rush and had to be out by a certain time to catch a show, and our server understood the assignment and got us out on the tight schedule we needed. I'm just sad I had to slurp down my soup so quickly as it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I ordered the Snow Mountain Ramen - the creamy tofu broth is unlike anything I've had and was so so unique and delicious. I thought about it for at least a week straight after eating it and am still dying to go back to get more. I also got the Iced Rose Matcha drink - $10 felt too pricy for this but I wanted a fun drink and a little caffeine kick - and again the flavors were unique and tasty. Both my friend and I happened to see someone we knew here - it's definitely a popular spot! It was packed on a Saturday night but it was still pretty quick for us to get a table for 2. Being a downtown city restaurant, the tables feel a bit cramped and I was a little too close to the table next to me for comfort - claustrophobics beware (honestly the soup is worth it though!!) Parking is pretty easy in the lot, although Holy crap they need to fix the potholes / harsh drop-off where it meets the street, and it still was not fully plowed many weeks after the big snowstorm (it's a shared lot so not a Y Noodle specific issue, but just saying). The only thing that was unpleasant were the bathrooms - I get it was a busy weekend night, but they reeked of a litter box the second you stepped in, the floor was dirty and very wet with unknown substances, and the Dyson hand dryer is at such a weird, too high level on the wall that it sprayed water in my face. Everything else was a dream, can't wait to go back! Hopefully the bathrooms were just a fluke.

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. The interior was much larger than I initially expected and more of a full restaurant too which was a pleasant surprise. In truth, not entirely sure what I was expecting, but as I stated up front it was more than that for sure in all regards. The food came quickly and was presented beautifully, and the drinks were so good I had to have a second. We opted for small plates on this visit, which included an order of soup dumplings which definitely lived up to the hype. I can't wait to come back to try even more of their amazing sounding entrees, especially the noodles!
