I got some less than savory news today about the status of my vehicle, so of course Pan-A-Day as a pick-me-up was on the menu. We did two medium plates of rice, jerk chicken, potatoes/chickpeas, & vegetables. Her food gets better every time I get it. I don't even know how that's possible, because every time I get it, I swear it's the best food I've ever had. Every bite is a masterclass in comfort food. I'm Pan-A-Day's biggest fan. read more

Pan A Day Take Away - Medium plates - Caribbean Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

The food was really flavorful. I got a mix of everything left as I used the app "too good to go". The staff was also nice and hooked it up! The ambiance is cool. It's a small take out kind of spot. Not really a sit down but there were some chairs and side tables when I was there but they were about to close so things were put away. I highly recommend this spot for a delicious take out! read more

Pan A Day Take Away - Outside - Caribbean Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

If anywhere deserves 6 stars, this is the place. GREAT food at a very reasonable price, and it doesn't hurt that they have super friendly service. There isn't much seating, but if you want some take out that feels like home cooking this should be your first choice. Highly recommend the Honey Garlic Chicken, and also the Jerk chicken and pork, but everything I've tried has blown me away. read more

Amazing food. The menu changes since the women make everything that day so you can always try something new. The jerk turkey is my favorite- perfect about of spice and the meat is never dry. read more

Pan A Day Take Away - Guyanese food! - Caribbean Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

5 stars for the food, zero for the rude Caucasian woman I encountered today. Wow. In town only for a day and a half, I stumbled upon Pan a Day yesterday - ordered jerk chicken, veggie rice and curry potatoes. At the last minute, I spotted desert in the fridge, and also got what would be the best passionfruit mousse cake I have ever had. Today, I woke up, did some work and could not stop thinking about that mousse cake. I got ready, walked there and grabbed one plus a tres leches cake from the fridge, waiting to pay. Finally a blonde-ish Caucasian woman came around the corner from the back (a different woman than the Caribbean woman who I met yesterday - she was lovely) and snapped at me to tell me they closed at 3 (it was 3:45pm) and that I couldn't buy it. I explained that I had cash and the guy with her (co-owner maybe?) even questioned why she wouldn't let me buy it. She just snapped and told me I could not buy it and that was that. I put it back brokenhearted (really), unsure what warranted her rude behavior. I wanted to support a small local business with cash - why couldn't they just ring it through the next day then? There are no hours posted on Yelp for this place, nor on google maps. And why would they not want a quick $10 cash sale? I leave early tomorrow morning so I cannot be back. Have some cake, lady. I hope you don't treat your staff like that. I didn't take a pic of the cake because I thought I could get more! Ugh. read more

Pan A Day Take Away - After eating it 2x - big portions - Caribbean Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

As promised when I give a less than 3 star review, I promise to try again and update my review. I've now been a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time. I've gotten amazing service from the owner twice and she was happy to see me. I've got mediocre to bad the other. It's a mood thing, running your own business must be stressful but if you look at my reviews, almost all of my reviews are centered around the service. I just find it so important. Sometimes you can't control a bad waiter, but as an owner who is there all day working her butt off, it's in your hands. I thank you for the good service and regret reviewing negatively because of an off day. I've tried other menu items now and Im happy to say and report, I clearly just got the "end of the day batch" of jerk chicken during my first review. Good food, OK service and worth a lunch stop for sure. Let's keep our local businesses supported during covid. read more

Tried 4 types of empanadas. Pork - Shredded pork with a light BBQ sauce and nice flavoring. Fave Chicken - Nice filling with bits of vegetables and raisins. Fave. Beef - A bit dry. Ground beef with mild seasonings. Ok Vegetarian- Smoky bacon flavored vegetarian filling with potatoes and other goodies All of them have a nice golden flaky dough and crust. read more

The place is particularly for take out. If the weather is nice, you can sit outside. The food was tasty, but not a lot of choices. To be fair, I came close to closing...For best selection, come early. The owner was very helpful in explaining the different dishes, so I knew what I was getting. A Must-try eatery - I was not disappointed! read more

The food at Pan A Day is good. Not great but good. Used to go but the owner seems to have a problem adding and will routinely overcharge . The last time it happened was the last time I will ever step foot in the place. read more

It's been replaced by a Mexican restaurant. Sorry to see it go. Tacos tostadas and other similar cuisine can be had. read more

This little tucked hide away is a Gem. It's Caribbean (Gainese) food. The first thing I noticed is how clean this place is. I ordered a medium plate that came with Turmeric rice, mixed vegetables and curry goat with a roti on the side. All I can say is I'm in a food coma now! I totally forgot to take a picture of my amazing meal. I did get a picture of my tres leches cake made in house! read more

Pan A Day Take Away - Tres Leches - Caribbean Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Great flavors! This is a pretty small spot with an even smaller menu due to Covid but they do Caribbean food well. Last night, my bf and I decided to do a simple take-out from here for our anniversary and split the rice bowl with pulled pork and curry potatoes and the roti wrap with the same. The pulled pork was freshly made (the owner said she was originally planning to save it for tomorrow until they ran out of jerk chicken today) and the meat was flavorful. A medium bowl ($10) was a hefty amount of food and I ended up with leftovers that will keep well. The owner was really friendly and gave me a tour of their options. She apologized for the limited menu, and threw in a fried plantain for free with our meal. read more

I know I'm spoiled by my favorite Jamaican restaurant back home in GA, but I really had high hopes when I stepped into this cute little corner place. Everything LOOKED good. Unfortunately, out just didn't work for me. I had the jerk chicken, the Friday rice, and black beans for my veggie. The rice was pretty good actually. Nice flavor and texture. The black beans had good flavor, so that was nice. The main dish, the jerk chicken, was ... Just okay. It wasn't whole chicken pieces, it was tender-style cuts. It had good flavor, but not really what I've come to know (from trips to Jamaica, and various restaurants across the nation) as "jerk" chicken. If I hadn't been expecting something specific, it probably would have been fine. But I was, so it wasn't. I still took it to the beach and ate it as planned, but I won't be back to try anything else. read more

Just the smell alone when I walked in... memorable moment. The super clean and friendly ambience.. And the food?! Man oh man. Scrumptious, to say the least. I walked in looking for a samosa and walked out with a vegan empanada, full of potatoes and peas. Delightful surprise, the empanadas had no Grease in sight, just a sweet and spicy, unique flavor. My cat had the chicken, at home of course, she loved it as much as I did the vegan one. The historical knowledge I received about the country.. where this delicious, West Indian food and it's Caribbean twist originated from completely took me to another place. Just awesome all around. My food was made fresh, right in front of me! Simply crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor within, i took it to go. Small space, huge parking lot, I suggest picking up if your not alone. Many drinks, different desserts and fresh fruit to choose. I'll try the chickpea and potato dish tomorrow. Or maybe tonight, haha. The prices are great for the amount of deliciousness you'll get in return. read more

Bland, soupy, and lacking in zing! I ordered a beef patty, expecting awesome Caribbean flavor, sadly disappointed. Ox tails were tender, but everything mushed together! Do not recommend. "Ox tails, curry potatoes, black beans, Jamaican beef patty" read more

Yes! The food is so good. I had the cook up rice, goat in some kind of wine sauce and veggies. They were all so good. So excited to have a place like this near me. Authentic tasting food. I can't wait for the next time because they didn't have the ox tail today. read more

Amazing local spot. The owner and her husband are such warm, delightful people. They give massive portions, always ask about your day, and are clearly really passionate about becoming a mainstay in the community. GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS! I recommend: yellow rice, curried potatoes, black beans, jerk chicken, spicy chicken, pulled pork, beef/pork empanadas, jamaican beef patties, and their fried plantains. read more

Really good food for a pretty cheap price. Mostly take out. Got the masala chicken along with chickpeas and potatoes and roti for 10$, enough quantity for 2 meals. Food was on point except it needed a little salt. Roti's more like chole bathoora for those that know what I'm talking about. Lots of vegetarian options as well. read more

First of all let me say I am a true born in Guyanese and I'm also from Brooklyn NY 30 years and I've had my taste of Caribbean food I've lived in Rhode Island about 18 years now and I've been looking for a good Caribbean restaurant and I must say I didnt even know you existed for some reason. I'm glad I found you and you have my business. I've tasted all types of hands of Caribbean food in New York City and I must say .. job well done! read more

Tasty, friendly space. Limited options but have enjoyed Guyanese food; great to eat in the park nearby.

Wow. These were some of the most moist interesting ribs I've had. They were packed with flavor and in like some kind of gravy/ sauce. Ordered their largest container wish I could have gotten more included. Order came with red beans and rice but it was cooked in coconut milk. Welcome additional to the West side. There were other options as well but they don't do as many dishes as Flames. Good meat! read more

Loved the ribs! You can get black beans, two kinds of rice, or vegetables. I chose yellow rice and spicy, flavorful vegetables. There's 3 sizes of takeout. I got a medium and it was a nice portion for the price. The owners are friendly and the place has a "mom's cooking" vibe. This has become one of my favorite restaurants on the West Side. read more

I was looking for empanadas and this is one of the only spots open so I gave it a try. I ordered the chicken and the beef empanadas and they were pretty good, just not exploding with flavor. The entree of rice stir fry veggies were also pretty good. I was hoping for my selection snd flavor. But this is a good spot when in a pinch. read more

I love this place. The owner is so nice and friendly and she is an amazing cook, Guyanese comfort food! Her roti is outta this world! If you order a large you can easily get two meals out of it for under $15. read more

So good. I have ordered takeout from here a few times now. Every time the food has been delicious. The empanadas are amazing!

This place is a hidden gem! You've got to try the curried goat, the roti wrap, and the oxtail! All of it was flavorful and spiced, the best is slow cooked and tender as all get out! Highly recommend; The owner is kind and conversational. She makes everything with care! Highly recommend!! read more

I went in for lunch yesterday... Pros... The food was very flavorful! The customer service was great. They are new and I could tell they are trying to impress. I ate at the only stool at a very small counter and the gentlemen that rang me out gave me a free bottle of water. When I was done eating the cook brought a little dough boy with powdered sugar for me. Cons... The menu is confusing...they always have certain items that are on the menu then each day have specialty meats. However don't tell what or when. I asked questions as to what they would serve on a regular basis but couldn't really get a solid answer. I ordered the small portion of the sweet chicken for $7 which was 2 small chicken legs and some rice. I don't feel like I got my moneys worth. It was about 110 degrees in the restaurant. I will most likely return to try some of their other dishes. read more

Pan A Day is a really wonderful hole-in-the-wall with lots of cheap, delicious food. They are on Grubhub which is nice but I prefer to go in because they don't have the same stuff every day. The best thing I've eaten there is a yuca pie, which is spiced yuca stuffed with a beef filling, but I haven't had anything i didn't like. read more

One of the best Guyanese restaurants I've been to in the states. the food is delicious, the service is great, the portions are generous, and the staff is very friendly. It is a hole-in-the-wall place, but it is definitely a place you should stop by read more

All I can say is yummy!!! Everything was delicious!! Jerk pork with rice,yucca ball,yucca ball with beef,Jamaican patty,vegetable empanada and chicken pot pie! The potatoes and peas and vegetable empanada was a hit! Flavors to die for. Only thing was the chicken pot pie was good but would of liked a little bit more seasoning. Can't even complain though! read more

Yum!!! This for me is the perfect comfort food. 3 sizes, each come with a rice, a main, and a side. I got the medium with cook up rice, curried chicken, and potato and it was massive. I'd go with a small next time...I think that would be the perfect lunch portion. I also got a chicken empanada, which was delicious, and a yucca ball. That thing was amazing. Basically like a fried mashed potato ball. Mmm! The woman behind the counter was very nice and showed me what everything was so I could make the right decision. I'll definitely be back to try other items! They have some every day items and then daily specialties. I'd love to try their jambalaya on a Saturday! read more

Yum! The oxtail, jerk chicken and potatoes and chick peas were all delicious.

Great food! Attended a staff party that they catered and I loved all of the offerings. Very flavorful and a wide variety of options, too.
