Chili chicken sandy & dressed greens
Rachel O.

My fave breakfast sandy in Providence remains undefeated: Honey chili chicken (gluten-free) biscuit sandy with double the greens on the side. Pro tip: 1 sandy on the weekend is about a 20 minute wait for takeout on average. 2 sandies on the weekend is about a 45 minute wait for takeout on average.

WOW-The accolades are so well deserved here. I had a delicious solo birthday brunch. The veggie scramble (add chicken oat sausage) was absolute perfection. Sparkling rose and espresso martini were perfect. Great play list and I LOVE that you arent sitting on top of the next table. Service was great. Cant wait to come back with the hubs and friends!

The fish special
Tee Z.

Continues to be worthy of my Sixth Star award. A last minute lunch date, seated at the Chef's counter. Rigatoni boloñeses and fish sandwich were utter perfection. Staff is delightful and the place always ALWAYS has a great vibe. A MUST stop on Federal Hill.

Nick's felt like a warm hug...cozy, quaint, and full of heart. My sister-friend Kerline told us it was like a second home for them, and I totally get it now! I'm a super picky eater with a cinnamon allergy (epi-pen ready!), but they nailed it. I had the Breakfast Plus with well-done bacon, and let me tell you, the biscuit and blood orange jam stole the show. Everything was fresh, local, and full of flavor, right down to my Granny Squibb's organic tea. Husbae devoured the rhubarb-strawberry pancakes, chicken sausage, and home fries. We also tried a yogurt parfait that was missing the granola based on how it was described beforehand, but it was so good, I didn't ask for it! I loved hearing the kitchen crew communicate. I even heard my allergy mentioned, which gave me so much peace of mind. Our server was an absolute gem: kind, efficient, and totally on point. Bonus: they knew my friend Kerline but had no clue that I was Yelp Elite there to review. 10/10 from walk-in to walk-out. Keep shining, Nick's!

We love Nicks for brunch, or for a drink. At the bar, in the dining room, on the patio. Nicks drinks and menu covers it all. It's fresh, tasty and the prices are middle of the road. Tried and true, it's a go to!

Our last stop during our trip to Providence, could not have picked a better place to enjoy a brunch with autumnal staples. Probably the best egg benedict I've ever had. The fall drinks are also phenomenal in this cold weather

I feel like you know when your meal will be good when you see a small menu, intimate setting, and an open immaculate kitchen. We came here right before a show in Rhode Island and food did not disappoint. I had the cauliflower soup and roasted fish. It was my first time having fluke and it was perfectly done on a bed of lentils and vegetables. The finishing touch of warm chocolate banana bread with ice cream was perfect. I would definitely come back again just for this dish. Service was great, food pace was wonderful, and watching the chefs prepare the meal was a show in of itself. Will definitely be back for chefs tasting

Gorgeous food and 5 star service. Sit at the counter by the kitchen if you can and feel like you are in one of those hip food shows.

Lovely little beet and blue cheese amuse-bouche
Krystine R.

Years ago I lived in Providence and I came to Nicks every now and then for brunch, but haven't been back in years. After seeing a post on their Instagram about a special birthday prefixe menu, I figured it was a perfect excuse to come back and take my husband who had never been. We made early reservations and were seated right away by a very friendly hostess. Our server was great, making sure we had what we needed and refilling our glasses throughout the evening. The food was some of the best I've had in a long time, the courses were served in perfect timing, and we left fully stuffed (and in my case buzzed from all of the great drinks). Can't wait to go back to order off the regular menu and try more.

Limited menu. Which is good, no messing with bad dishes. No chicken dish.. my wife "loved it". All of it. attention to detail, food, service, plated food, atmosphere, her meal, her drink, etc... so did my daughter. I thought it was ok. Huge wine selection.

Pancakes drizzled with caramel and topped with homemade whipped cream and granola
Melanie T.

Several people have recommended Nicks on Broadway to me and my only complaint is that I didn't go sooner. The atmosphere is definitely an upscale eatery so I would definitely plan to dress cute casual. We went for Sunday brunch and it may be my go to brunch special occasions. Let me first give a special shout out to the hot chocolate. My favorite hot chocolate in the world is at Harrod's in London and all other hot chocolate is a distant second until this one. I think this at least equal if not slightly better so well done! The pancakes drizzled with caramel on top were also fantastic. The pancakes are thin, almost like crepes but definitely like pancakes. They're amazing. Their flavor was so complimentary with the caramel. My husband ordered oysters which he was very happy with. He said the flavor was excellent and the presentation was just beautiful. I would highly recommend going in! FYI they do take reservations.

Gluten free options?

Im not 100% positive as Ive only been there once, but I seem to remember them having GF options

Do they have high chairs? Bringing one baby and I haven't been since pre-kids. Never paid attention then as to if things were kids friendly or not. 😬

They have! We just went today (9/2) with our 14 months old son !

I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

Ellie's is dangerous. I walked in thinking coffee and one pastry. That lasted about 30 seconds…read more The owner (adorable, by the way) was walking around checking on tables and making sure everyone was happy. It feels like her place in the best way -- warm, proud, hands-on. Pastries are legit. Super buttery, flaky enough to make a mess, clearly baked that morning. No sad, sitting-around-all-day vibes. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and that tomato jam needs to be illegal. Sweet, savory, slightly tangy -- it completely makes the sandwich. I kept trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. Not happening. Crispy chicken sandwich was properly seasoned and not dried out (why is that so hard for some places?). Fries were solid too -- crispy, not limp. And the kale salad with roasted chickpeas and chicken made me feel like I had my life together. Fresh, simple, and actually satisfying. It's one of those places you stumble into while traveling and then immediately start googling whether you can justify going back the next day.

Favorites are the vegan bahn mi (with fried tofu and cashew pate, crunchy picked vegetables) the cardamom pancakes and the cheddar biscuits. Biscuits are huge and buttery with a moist interior and a crunchy outside. The pancakes are the biggest pancakes I've ever seen! They were bigger than our heads. We got three to share for the table but honestly one would have been enough. Cocktails are strong and the bloody mary was perfectly spicy. Service can be a little slow at times but was friendly and helpful. The music can also get loud and voices echo when it's busy. So don't bring your noise sensitive friends. Make sure you have a reservation as it can get crowded!

GLUTEN-FREE FISH & CHIPS ALERT!…read more My quest for finding gluten-free fish & chips has finally ended in my very own neighborhood. We did it. Well, CRU PVD did it, & I ate it & loved it. The vibes of CRU are immaculate. Retro, friendly, comforting, & suave. The quality of food to price of food ratio is inspiring - I love a heaping salad with seasonal fruits & vegetables for just $8. Most of the menu can be made gluten-free, which brings a tear to my eye. Don't sleep on the pan-fried turnip cake. Sounds strange, right? I crave it constantly. I haven't been to brunch yet here - I'm not a big brunch guy, what can I say. But that seems to be a hugely popular event here. Also check out their calendar of events. They put on some funky soirées. Murder mystery dinners? Yes, please!

The new breakfast & lunch service is casual & easy - order at the counter for dine-in or takeout, then grab a seat & enjoy. Hubby & I tried several dishes: bagel & lox was fresh & satisfying, the California wedge was a creative & lighter option, the lobster omelet felt indulgent & packed with flavor, the corned beef hash was crispy & comforting. Everything came out fresh & well prepared. One unexpectedly fun detail? The self-serve water station! Loved being able to choose between bubbles, cold-ish & ice cold water (a small touch, but honestly such a great idea). Wishing the best of luck to Chef Mark Garofalo & Russell Morin Catering & Events on this new venture. Excited to come back & try more from the menu! NOM NOM NOM #YUM

Walked into a cozy cute very busy restaurant, greeted within two minutes, took our Beverage order and was off, They specialize in bloody Mary's mimosas as well as special coffees very nice, back in three minutes with the drinks, taking the order and she was off I must say the waitress is very nice very polite and very efficient! that being said within 10 minutes. The main courses arrived looking fantastic. I didn't post any pictures this time cause looking at the plates from the reviews on Yelp it's basic eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes on a plate no special garnishes so I apologize in advance for that however, the food was fantastic. Everything was hot. My only gripe was being from Rhode Island and the Portuguese community being very relevant here they serve Portuguese chorizo and my wife ordered this and it was quite dry not juicy at all. That was a bummer coming from Florida, You can't get it! everything else was phenomenal I must say this was a great experience and if you're ever in the area for a great breakfast and you want to stay away from the chain restaurants that serve breakfast check out The Rhody you won't be disappointed I have spoken...
