We got a few apps including the Brussel sprouts (amazing and big portion ) and the southwest egg rolls (also very good, smaller portion). We got the pizza of the day which was a chicken vodka ... wasn't that great, to be honest... but we asked for more sauce and they gave us some and it helped a bit. The smash burger was classic and I got mine lettuce wrapped instead of a bun, which was nice! Music was loud, but that is expected.

Stopped in for the March sandwich showdown…read more Fried chicken sandwich (not on the menu), slightly spicy on a brioche bun with slaw and pickles, and chipotle sauce. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the bun was fresh and warm, the pickles and sauce complimented the sandwich. Very good. Went in on a Sunday afternoon, the place is very clean, plenty of people on the bar, games on the TVs, with hip hop music playing on the radio. Great atmosphere for a game with a few drinks...food is really good.

When we got there the place was bustling with people and we met our waitress who said her name (…read moredidn't notice a tag with it on there) but we couldn't hear her over everyone else. The hot chocolate my wife said it was weak and not hot enough. The iced coffee caramel for me was enjoyable! I like the decor! She ordered the French toast with pecans and I got the railroad bowl with pancakes. She added an over-medium egg and breakfast potatoes to hers. I'm now noticing that there is an instrumental musical playlist being played in the background, which is nice! It was a nice touch that the waitress served us a glass of water out of a carafe, but it seemed like it was tap water or something that didn't taste that good. Something that didn't make sense was that it's 54° outside and they have the AC on it seemed My wife was freezing her butt off. The music has changed and it's not at a comfortable level. Wow, the French toast is Huge! Plenty to eat unlike other places! The man that bussed our table was friendly!

We chose this place for lunch on our way back to Connecticut after visiting the Providence Zoo…read more Unfortunately, it's not somewhere we'll likely stop again. Before going, I noticed several reviews mentioning that the food lacked flavor. After eating here, I'd have to agree. We started with the Strawberry Burrata appetizer. The burrata itself was good, but the strawberries tasted like they came from a can or pie filling instead of being fresh. It's the middle of summer, so that was disappointing. The focaccia served with it was fresh, but completely unseasoned and bland. A little olive oil, herbs, or flaky salt would have made a huge difference. For our entrees, we ordered the pasta special with chicken, peppers, and "broccolini" in a garlic sauce, along with the short rib grilled cheese and garlic Parmesan chips. First, the dish didn't contain broccolini--it was regular broccoli. That's not a huge deal, but the menu should be accurate. The penne was undercooked, the red peppers tasted like they came from a can, and the broccoli seemed straight from a frozen bag. The entire dish arrived tasting like it had been reheated in a microwave rather than cooked to order. There were only a couple of other tables in the restaurant, and they had only been open for about an hour, so that was surprising. On top of that, the dish was very bland. The short rib grilled cheese was actually the highlight of the meal. The short rib was tender and flavorful, and the sandwich had a lot of potential. However, the plain focaccia made it a little dry, and it really could have used some type of sauce or spread to bring everything together. The garlic Parmesan chips were stale, bland, and also seemed pre-made. To top it off, the menu clearly advertises that kids eat free all day on Mondays, yet we were charged $8 each for our kids' penne with red sauce. This restaurant has the potential to be really good. The ingredients and menu ideas are there, but the execution falls short. Fresher ingredients, cooking food to order, more seasoning, and a little more creativity would make a world of difference.

The Lord of the Wings brought me here last night, but it's not my first time at this establishment…read more When you walk in, it smells like bread baking. A cute hostess area for pickup orders, but we headed to the small dining room and grabbed a table. I ordered garlic Parmesan wings and a meatlovers pub pizza. Our server/bartender was pleasant and attentive the whole time. Our food arrived looking great. The wings were cooked nicely, jumbo sized with super crispy texture and juicy on the inside. The garlic Parmesan was... Interesting. I believe it's a mayo based sauce, similar to an Alabama white BBQ sauce. I could see the appeal in it but it wasn't for me personally. The pizza was great as usual. I love the combination of the toppings on the meatlovers with the sauce. I enjoyed every bite. While I don't need an excuse to come to Grainsley's as it's in my semi regular rotation, I didn't mind the chance to come back sooner than later for some awesome wings and pizza!
