    Classic Breakfast with ham
    Robin U.

    I been wanting to try Makmak Eatery lunch for a while now and finally went on a Sunday at 2pm. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that they only do breakfast, no lunch and closes at 4pm on Sundays. So just a heads up for anyone else who didn't know- lunch/dinner is only served on Wednesdays through Saturdays 11:30am to 4pm followed by dinner. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Anyway, I stayed and enjoyed their breakfast. It was really quick service and had plenty of seating available. I'll have to try again for lunch/dinner. Price was decent.

    Crudo & wings
    Rachel O.

    Wowww! I've been meaning to get down to Makmak for a while, & I'm so glad I finally could. Lunch here was phenomenal. The stand out dishes were the crispy wings & the fresh crudo. The wings were tossed in a sweet & spicy (but really not that spicy at all) sauce & served with ranch. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, deliciously tender on the inside. The crudo of the day was fluke, served with shaved red onion, celery, castelvetrano olives (my favorite!!), caper berries, olive oil, & flaky sea salt. My mouth is watering typing this up right now... Two totally different starter dishes with totally different vibes. Both were SO unbelievably good. I got a burger as well, & it was nothing to sneeze at. It was a bit overdone & the gluten-free bun was a classic gluten-free bun (it had the taste & consistency of cardboard & fell apart pretty quickly) but it was still tasty. I think they served it with too many fries. I simply could not eat more than half of them. Makmak is currently BYOB - not sure why or for how long, just something to note if you want a bevvy with your meal. I can't wait to go back!

    RI Food Fights' Lord of the Wings was the reason we finally made it to makmak Eatery in Cranston, and I'm so glad it did. From the moment we walked in, the space felt super warm and cozy, the kind of neighborhood spot you instantly relax into. We ordered the Thai Chili Wings, Tomato Bisque, and a side of Coleslaw, and honestly, everything was fantastic. The wings were a clear standout: perfectly cooked with bold, balanced flavor that easily earns them a spot among the best wings in Rhode Island. The tomato bisque which came with a garlic crostini was comforting and rich, and the coleslaw was fresh and well-seasoned, not just an afterthought. The service deserves a shoutout too. The staff, and especially our server, were professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which elevated the whole experience. All in all, a great experience from start to finish. makmak Eatery is now firmly one of our top picks for wings, and we'll absolutely be back.

    Cute newer spot. Actually spoke with the owner crystal (I believe) very nice. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner Seating is size friendly, smaller spot, but accommodating. Parking is off street, fair amount of spots. I would recommend making a reservation, as it was busy busy when we first got there. They are currently BYOB, which is good to know ahead of time. They supply glasses and accompaniments though. Food was good, seasoned, good portion. Omelette was made perfectly. Will be back to try the dinner menu.

    Calamari
    Holly K.

    Went to Makmak for dinner last night and really enjoyed it!! Right now they are temporarily BYOB, so be sure to check that before you head in. I started with the bean and escarole soup and it was delicious, I thoroughly enjoyed it. We also shared the calamari. It was okay, it could have been fried longer. The goat cheese and beet salad was awesome. I would definitely head in again!

    1/2 Caesar salad

    So excited to try Makmak after hearing great reports from so many friends. When my friend and I first walked in the door, we were warmly greeted and seated immediately (we had a reservation), but we were also struck by how LOUD it was in the restaurant. I mean, it was seriously loud in there! Makmak is small - I'm guessing about 50 seats? It was packed and the noise level was such that we had to keep leaning in towards our server and asking her to repeat herself when she was telling us about the specials. We ordered the Caesar salad and the focaccia bread with dipping oil. The bread was served warm and was excellent. For entrees I ordered the chicken piccata with gnocchi instead of rice, and my friend ordered the pink vodka ravioli. Both were good, not the best we've had, but still good. I was charged extra for the gnocchi substitution, which was a little odd considering the chicken marsala on the menu is served with gnocchi so I don't really see much difference. Service was excellent, but the noise really got to us. Makmak is a nice place and we went there hoping to enjoy a relaxing dinner with conversation, but it was so loud the night we went that we struggled to hear each other. Glad to have visited, but most likely will look for a quieter place the next time I go out for dinner with a friend.

    Fish and chips
    Andrea P.

    We had a really nice visit. Hubby got the burger, the bun is really cool it's made with squid ink. I got the fish and chips, nice size. Only downfall is I got really sick that night... I do intermittent fasting and that's the only thing k ate that day so the fish definitely made me sick.

    Hello, Chicken Picatta!!! YUM!!!
    Kerri L.

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!!! I booked a reservation on a whim after looking for new places to eat in the area. First off, the website alone is beautiful. It's clear they take their business seriously. After viewing the menu online, I knew I had to try it. My sister and I ventured over this past Saturday night and were thoroughly impressed which is saying a lot since we are both foodies (and Yelp Elites!!!). They had a few specials that evening. I was sad to hear that they were out of the cod risotto, but that disappointment soon gave way to excitement when the chicken picatta caught my eye. I have a love/hate relationship with chicken. My picky body will only eat all natural chicken without antibiotics or hormones. I asked our server about the chicken, and she came back to say it was indeed all natural. It was simply out of this world! The chicken had been pounded and breaded perfectly. I could have drank the tasty sauce. It was that good! I used the delicious foccaccia bread to soak up every last drop. (Is that healthy? Maybe not, but I digress...) The owner, Crystal, later came out to introduce herself and share how she only buys the very best ingredients. She refuses to to even have a microwave in the restaurant's kitchen. She went on to share how she started her business, and how her husband is the chef. They only opened 9 months ago, but they already have quite the following and just gained two more loyal customers! Their expresso martini was next level. It easily rivals MSC (for those who aren't local, I'll spell that out... Main Street Coffee). Yup. I said it and stand by it! My sister loved her dirty martini. She even got a side car of pepperoncini juice to add a kick to it. Brayden, our server, handled all of our requests with such grace and enthusiasm. It was clear she enjoyed her job and making connections with her customers was a priority. It's that kind of interaction that makes people feel right at home. This adorable restaurant is located in an unassuming storefront on Oaklawn Avenue. Don't let the location deceive you. This place is incredible and worth the drive. Go... you won't be disappointed!

    Fish and chips were great tasting and lightly bathed.

    The restaurant was nicely decorated and charming. The staff were professional and attentive. We enjoyed our food and will definitely return.

    Chicken Piccata

    Had an amazing first time dinner at Makmak Eatery. The owner was so involved the whole night, and she was a doll. Our waitress Tory, was personable, attentive and just awesome. Food was incredible. We had stuffed mushrooms, which were so delicious. They brought us complimentary wings which were some of the best wings we've had!!! We had the bolognese and the chicken picatta. Both were absolutely delicious. It's a BYOB which is a bonus! We can't wait to go back!!

    The food was wonderful! Overall everything was really delicious. My lobster risotto was rich and full of flavor and the fish and chips were super crispy. The fries were to die for. Deep dish cheesecake, which was our dessert, was also tasty, topped with some of the best salted caramel sauce I've had. The menu is definitely far above what one might expect based on their location and atmosphere. Not that it isn't nice inside, but relatively casual. Somewhat industrial/farmhouse. The menu, though elevated, does have a good variety so should be able to find something for everyone. My only issue with the atmosphere is that the chairs are too low for the tables. Certainly not a deal breaker, but definitely noticeable. Upon entering we were met by the owner who happily escorted us to our table. She continued to check on us throughout our time there which was lovely. Our server was also great. Super friendly, kind, and efficient especially considering she had the whole dining room which filled up quickly after we arrived. Overall a really great first visit and I will definitely be coming back. It's so nice to have something in Cranston that isn't Italian

    Every meal here has been great! Even something so simple as a mixed green salad was delicious. Great addition to the neighborhood.

    First time here and it's a decent property. What held back from higher rating were maintenance…read moreissues, the layout for the driveway and the finishes in the room. Upon arrival the room was at 68 (below 30 outside) soooo turned that sucker up. Put it on 74 and thought it would warm up overnight. Arrived pretty late, after 11pm. To my suppose the room was still at 68. And getting out of a warm bed to that was not my idea of a good morning. I called the front desk and the agent confirmed I was using the right thermostat to control the temp and noted that maintenance would check it. That was fixed as when I returned it was a nice balmy 76! Downside though was the unit did an odd cycling thing with warm air....cold air...warm air. So it never shut off at night and tan the entire time. Their drive way is odd, one way only and Tuesday morning there was a delivery truck blocking the exit. Thankfully no one else was behind us so we were able to back out. The room felt very industrial. Concrete walls and high ceilings, with an almost open concept bathroom. Barn door and the shower was a waterfall (over head) with hand held option thankfully. If you've got curtly hair, you know why a waterfall shower is the worst. And to ere was no shower cap as an option. The shower itself did not go all the way to the ceiling which also meant there was no barrier between you and the room. If share with a partner may not be bad but with friends, that's a nightmare. Other downside was the lock was funky. When leaving for dinner, thank goodness I checked the lock as it did not lock. I had to open the door and mess with it to finally lock. All in all decent hotel however I can't say I'd stay again.

My friend had come here before and boasted about their portion sizes, and he was not wrong. I ordered the #10, Harriet's Humdinger, and it was packed with sweet and savory and was enough to easily serve two people. It had eggs (2), bacon (5 slices), toast (2), home fries, French toast (1), and pancakes (2). The eggs were cooked just how I wanted them, the bacon was cooked to the perfect crispiness and the most slices I have ever gotten at a breakfast place, the toast was a bit over toasted but Harriet's has been forgiven, and the home fries were delicious because of the flavor but also because of the different textures - soft, crunchy, slightly chewy. The French toast was simple but so good, and the pancakes were fluffy and massive. The inside is nice, and lots of natural light coming in. It was decorated with St. Patrick's Day stuff, I appreciated the small details. Our waitress was very attentive and charismatic and did a good job of coming around the perfect amount of times.
