It's supposed to be an assortment of different things but she didn't care she just put whatever in the box. I'll never come here again and I don't recommend anybody else come here either.

Service is typical counter service diner service, just friendlier and helpful (if you're nice). Just don't call them hot dogs...they're WIENERS! Definitely old school feel to the place as well. If you're visiting, it's worth a stop for lunch or dinner. One final note...COFFEE MILK! Do you like Starbucks Frappuccino's, chocolate milk, etc.? GET A COFFEE MILK!!! Olneyville did it first.

I remember coming here years ago and not liking it too much, so I came again to reevaluate. I…read moreconcluded that | just don't like their famous wieners topped with meat, onion, and celery salt. My friend ordered a wiener with just ketchup and mayo and that was tasty. I find that the ground meat doesn't have much flavor and instead dilutes the flavor of the wiener. The cheeseburger is delicous. My friend and I shared one but ended up getting another to share since we wanted more. The patty is grilled well (albeit thin), the cheese is melted, the lettuce and tomato are very fresh, and the mayo brings everything together. The fries were good, with a crispy outside and a soft inside. They do look pale, but don't let that fool you. The prices are affordable ($3 - $12), although it does add up since it's tempting to just keep ordering more "little" things. They do have a parking lot on the side of the building and plenty of seating inside. It gives retro vibes, so you definitely travel back in time a couple decades when you walk in. The staff is very efficient. They can handle multiple orders at once in a very timely manner.

Ahem. Anyhoo, the food is good, pricing is fair, this place is newer than most of the other similar restaurants in PVD. There's parking, but very limited seating so it's mainly a carry-out situation. The only reason sketchy experience I've had here is one other time I tried to visit, they shut down a 1/2 hour before posted closing time, I was super hangry, they had some food available, but the worker wanted to go home more than reopen the register and feed me. However, I haven't had issues since then and if the food stays this tasty, I'd probably upgrade to a 5 since they have specials that I don't often see elsewhere in PVD.

This Dominican cafeteria style restaurant is a extension of the meat market next door…read more Pretty convenient to have all you need for a restaurant to operate right in the same building. Pretty smart for the owners. So I'll eaten here quite a few times and their selections have the basics and a few different specials that usually is offered on a rotation of availability. Small dining area with a couple of tables. Primarily a take out establishment. The kitchen area is actually a larger floor space than the dining area so that means they prep and cook all day. Pretty busy the last few times I've stop by to pick up lunch on the road. That is a very good spot for a quick lunch and the selections are generally very satisfying. Definitely 1 of the better Dominican cafeterias around the neighborhood with a really good butcher shop next door and very convenient parking makes this an easy choice to make a break to Elwood Avenue so close to the the 95 exit. I recommend giving this restaurant a try if you're into the Dominican style food.

I also ordered the 10pc honey garlic wings and to drink, a strawberry and a blueberry lemonade. Mac N Cheese - Very dry, not bad tasting but definitely not creamy like I'm used to and I'm from the south. Collard Greens - Great taste, but nothing stood out about them. Not Amazing, but not bad. Cabbage - Cooked to perfection. No complaints. Yams - Again, nothing special, not bad, but not great. Cornbread - Good! Nice and moist. Honey Garlic chicken - Nothing really bad to say. I did enjoy the amount of sauce and that the wings were fried hard like I typically order them. Flavored Lemonades were amazing! If I do go back, it will be for those. I ordered from Door Dash, so I did not go in the establishment or get to interact with the employees.

Long Live The Ratty…read more Oh how I remember the days Of Freshman daily life, Eyes darting back and forth, Looking for a spot to sit, Avoiding eye contact with those So-called "athletes." The kind, warm-hearted workers, Enormous, cheesy omelettes, Greasy, hot-out-of-the-oven pizza, Crispy, Cajun-flavored fries... These are the things I will remember The Ratty by. But wait. Maybe it's The never-ending coffee milk, Or colorful array of veggies. The make-your-own panini station, Or sweet potato mash. The futuristic soda machine, Or delicious, hearty soup. Shh -- I hear something! Far in the distance, A quiet whir. Is that... A soft serve machine? Chocolate, vanilla, or swirl? Oreo crumbs or M&Ms? Bowl or cupped hand? The options are endless... Here at The Ratty. Take some food to-go. A bagel or toast. A bitter coffee. Maybe a plastic cup, Filled to the brim With your favorite cereal. The choice is yours, Here at The Ratty. Alas... Don't forget to clear your plates. Compost that food, And stack your dishes nicely, Lest you be looked down upon With scorn and disgust Here at The Ratty.
