This place has pretty good ambiance. Nice servers, clean restrooms. I'll start with the meals.. We were disappointed with the red stripe grilled cheese, I thought it would be something special, but it just tasted like regular grilled cheese, didn't have any other flavor. The tomato soup was pretty good, nice and savory. Another one of us got the mussels and fries. The muscles she got were pretty good, and the fries. A very big portion, probably could share it between two people. Lastly, we had the veggie burger. Also pretty good but I got the truffle fries and they did not have any truffle flavor. Not shown was the buffalo cauliflower which was our appetizer and those were also pretty good. We got charged $3 for bread, which was kind of annoying. I went here a different time for lunch with my dad who loves calamari, and he did say it was the most tender calamari he's ever had. He was impressed. read more

Went here the other day and Ordered the everything but the kitchen sink salad. It was massive and great quality and quantity of salad. The lobster salad and seafood options looks extremely delicious. Fast and friendly service. Will be back again the theme and atmosphere is welcoming and kinda fancy. Will be back again!! read more

See my previous review - have been here dozens of times, only because it's closest to my house, but it never fails to disappoint. Had a hankering for a burger today. Should have known better, because I've never had one cooked right here. Ordered medium and it was beyond well done and bone dry. Was starving and it was late so didn't say anything and the server didn't give me a chance by asking how it was. Stick to drinks here. And if you want a burger in the hood, go to McBrides or Ivy Tavern. read more

First time trying mussels and loved them. Sangria was refreshing! To top it off the service was amazing! We witnessed a reservation made with a request for a rose and the manager went and got a rose to put on the table - talk about attention to detail! read more

This restaurant is spacious. I had the chicken parmesan, which is hand breaded 8oz boneless chicken breast, served on a mountain of linguine, with house-made marinara, mozzarella & Parmesan cheese. This was a huge portion and very tasty. My husband had the baked french onion soup and lentil buddha bowl. The soup had lots of caramelized onions, Gruyère cheese, crouton. The buddha bowl has french lentils, baby mixed greens, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled vegetables, fresh avocado, hard boiled egg, dill vinaigrette. It came in a big bowl and the ingredients were fresh. I also had a lavender lemonade and unfortunately it was disappointing because it was full of ice and not much of the drink. read more

We had a very poor Thanksgiving meal here following a good meal the previous year. Inexcusable service was indifferent , bordering on challenging . We will not return next year and suggest this restaurant completely revamp their turkey meal should they decide to open next Thanksgiving. We have had very good lunch and dinner meals in the past and may return for the same, but this $100+ experience was terrible. read more

Visited Red Stripe on a Thursday night for dinner with my girlfriend. I was extremely excited to try this place. I heard great things about it from a friend. Good: They have specials that align with most weekdays. The crab cakes were quite delicious. Not so good: I had the fish and chips. The fish was overcooked. My girlfriend had the veggies burger. It was a decent burger. Needs improvement: Our waiter was quite uncooperative. Thursdays are the day for their "burger and beer" special. Though the menu advertises an up-charge for other alcoholic beverage options other than wine or beer, our waiter seemed confused and was unable (more so unwilling) to offer us a cocktail with the special. The worst part about our visit was the extreme smokiness inside of the establishment. I kept coughing due to someone in the kitchen possibly burning something. It was so smoky that it was hard to breathe. It didn't seem as if any of the workers were concerned by it. Red Stripe is located in a great area. I wanted to really enjoy my experience so that I could frequent it more often given it's closeness to my home. Maybe I'll try it again one day and can give it a better review. read more

Wait for food took a while but nice atmosphere - family heavy crowd and good spot for date night. Mussels as an appetizer was a great choice - very tasty broth. Fish and chips was standard, the coleslaw was super refreshing. They give complimentary bread which tastes great when dipped into the mussel broth. The Cobb salad was very tasty and refreshing as well - you can tell they didn't skimp on the ingredients. Also they're super accommodating with side replacements so ask! We got our fries replaced with sautéed spinach which was amazingly well cooked. Lots of options so pick wisely! read more

I was very excited to go here after looking at the menu and seeing the review by Buns and Bites! But, unfortunately we were faced with discrimination. My friends and I are all minorities and we were sat away from everyone in the very back - we did not ask for this, the front of staff sat us there. We were not offered any water and none of the serves came to check on us. We were there for over 20min with menus. Before you say it, no they were not busy and even if they were, there were plenty of serves. Multiple servers locked eyes with me but walked by. Finally, a server came over to us and rushed us to order - it was quite rude. We ended up leaving after facing this awful experience. It leaves a sad thought that discrimination of minorities is still present in this world we live in. read more

There's nothing quite like the kitchen sink salad at red stripe. My favorite lunch out. I always order it without any raw onions, and dressing on the side. They open at noon, so don't arrive early. read more

Excellent last minute birthday dinner! Food excellent, service excellent, and a great option for 9 oz wine pour. Perfect amount. My husband had filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly! I had crab crusted cod, and it was delicious. And we were pleasantly surprised that their prices have not gone through the roof like many restaurants. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a great birthday dinner. read more

We went to Red Stripe for dinner after 4 months of staying in. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was very compliant with COVID restrictions. Our waiter was Eric L, and he was amazing. He was very attentive, always made sure our water was refilled, and he did his job with a smile. Our food was amazing, we got several appetizers, cocktails, and I had the truffle burger which was amazing. Overall it was a great first night out in many months! Will definitely return! read more

The food was delicious!! Sat at the bar because we didn't want to wait for a table. The bartenders -Julian & ? Jay? Were terrific!

Today was first time at Red Stripe. It was very busy but it was the day after News Years. We ordered Buffalo fried cauliflower and calamari to start. Both were delicious. They came out fairly quickly from ordering . We ordered a Cobb salad and curry mussels and fries for our lunch. The food was taking a little long but mind you it's super busy. My lunch date and I both worked in the food industry so we don't mind. The manger came over and apologized for the long wait and comped the whole meal. We both were shocked and super appreciative. I can't wait to go back. The food was great and the staff were even better. read more

I love this place and cant' wait to come back. At first I was just going to have a drink it was already after 9PM, but I was starting to get hungry. So I grabbed a table and the staff was very accommodating since I was cold they let me pick a table in the back away from the door. To start we had the tacos which were absolutely amazing. I have no idea what was in it, but I wish I could have had more than the 3 that were served. There was definitely a spicy kick to them just a side note. I also had the caesar salad which was delicious. I could barely finish it there was so much. For dinner I had the turkey BLT without the tomato with fries. It was delicious and so much that I had to take the other half home. The waiter was friendly and ran with the silly jokes. The food came out quickly and even though it was late I didn't feel rushed. There is no designated parking area but there was plenty of on street parking. Restaurant was clean and I loved the atmosphere. I can't wait to go back read more

Nice venue for lunch and dinner in the heart of Wayland Square. I had a quick lunch there while taking a rest from a long hike. I was immediately seated in a small and sunny table with views of their outdoor seating along Angell street. My waitress, Aubrey, was pleasant and attentive, and noticing my hiking backpack, she quickly returned with a glass of iced water. I had their half-sized Cobb chicken salad, which was delicious and sufficiently filling, with a glass of their regular size Coke, which was quite large. I did enjoy the meal and the ambiance, with the exception of their stereo music, which was a bit too loud. read more

Went in at 1:30pm on a weekday and asked for a table for 4 as the lunch crowd was filing out. The hostess said 15 or 20 minutes and wrote my name and number on the middle of a piece of paper with other notes on it. We walked around and talked to a different host 25 minutes later. At this point there were many open tables but he still didn't want to seat us. 15 minutes later I walked in and stood there. I told him we were waiting inside because it's cold and had been 40 minutes of waiting and he snickered a bit. They ended up seating us at a table that had been open the whole time as the restaurant was nearly cleared out at this point. Maybe the waitstaff was too thin but it felt like we should have been accommodated better. The food is above average and the coordination leaves something to be desired. A little accountability like "sorry this is taking longer than expected" goes a long way read more

I ordered the filet mignon medium. It came rare. They sent it back. Waited waited finally came after he was done. Eating it was good. No compensation. We had to wait for our bread. We had to wait for our salad and it was not busy at all read more

I do not know which was worse the service or the food. Actually, the food is not bad for microwaved. Please put some effort into the quality and service of your food. The only highlight was the manager who brought out our food because the waitress must have forgot. He was very pleasant and up beat. read more

We made a reservation on OpenTable for 8:30 PM for New Year's Eve. We arrived at the host stand at 8:35 due to finding parking. The host escorted us to our table and before I could pull my chair out, we were told the kitchen closes at 9:00. Our entire experience felt rushed. We were asked for our drink order before we had a minute to review the menu and our entree orders were taken within 5 minutes of being seated. A dessert menu was not offered. Several servers/employees throughout the restaurant seemed flustered and inconvenienced to be working. I also overheard the bartender ask the manager if he could stop serving drinks as he had tickets for an event he was attending later that night. If the kitchen was closing at 9:00, reservations shouldn't have been able to be made beyond 8:00 and if employees wanted to celebrate new years, the restaurant shouldn't have been opened at all! read more

From the minute we walked in,we were greeted with a friendly face and a smile. Our wait wasn't long and we were seated quite fast even tho the restaurant was full of happy patrons. We started with pear martinis that were to die for! For appetizers we had the deviled eggs and the meatball, both were outstanding! Then, for our main , we ordered the bacon bleu burger and angell tortellini to share. This place did no disappoint. Our waitress was spot on, friendly and made sure we were always taken care of. We didn't have room for dessert but they all sounded amazing! read more

Whoever cooked my filet mignon tonight.. is a god amongst men. It doesn't get anymore tender than that. The steak was so buttery and luscious. I wasn't even huge on the glaze they coated the meat in - which was similar to teriyaki sauce. Just a masterful cook and seasoning on it, and a quality cut of filet. Fries were tasty too. I'm a believer! read more

The service very good, clean environment, clean bathrooms. Tables spaced enough from each other. The menu never changes.

Just like most of the restaurants in town, nice old school vibe. Our server was really good and attentive. Got muscles as an app, and they were spot on. Martinis were also made right, got a extra dirty and then a white chocolate as dessert. The French onion soup was extremely flavorful , but a mute heavy for me. Lobster roll, man it was good.... Didn't skimp on the portion at all. Only reason for the 4 start was the steak frites, steak was just a little chewy for our liking. Flavor was good but tough to cut and chew.... Over all, good spot read more

Random pit stop on a Maine road trip.... this is a brasserie that should be cloned. French Onion Soup was top 5 lifetime... perhaps best, but I am prone to exaggeration. And 83.7% of my statistics are made up on the spot. The soup arrived with the cheese barely melted, but being an obnoxious New Yorker I instructed my server to ask the kitchen to put my crock under the salamander till it was nice and bubbly, It arrived like molten magma! :) Cocktail list was robust but the craftsmanship was lacking... my maple leaf was sweet with little else going on.. The moules frites "Billy Bi style" were tasty... the moules were plump and yummy. And the Croque Madame really hit the spot; as well. I live nowhere near here and rarely drive anywhere near Providence. However, All future road-trips heading through New England will include a detour to this joint. read more

Excellent food and the mussels are amazing! They have great meatballs and a great wine list.

Good food and consistently attentive/ friendly service. The mussels are a hit or miss. Sometimes they are perfectly cooked. Other times they are chewy. There have been occasions where I found sand. The burgers are fine. Always cooked well but the price is a bit steep for what you are getting. I tried their lunch chopped salad and it was very good. The portion was so enormous though I wish I asked for dressing on the side so I could save some for later. The French onion soup is very oniony. It is a bit salty for me so if they cut back a little, it would be perfect. I don't usually crave red stripe but When I come back, I usually just go for a salad. read more

Came here for dinner with my girlfriends. We all got different things and all the food was amazing. I always forget how loud it is in here though. I had a lobster roll special and the red sangria. The sangria was so so. The server was nice but not so smart. I had written out all the cc amounts to charge with a name and the last couple bucks was cash and the rest tip. Instead she split the check evenly among all the credit card and cash. Oh well she can pay taxes on the tip... read more

What you think of this place will vary greatly by what you order. Be careful ... 80% of the menu is good or great. 20% will leave you pushing food around trying to make it look like you took more than one bite. The worst offender on the menu is the chicken parm. Served over soggy, limp noodles in what tasted like a sauce that was reheated over and over throughout the day. The chicken is not a cutlet ... its a big square of rubbery, thick chicken fried in breadcrumbs. The secret to authentic chicken parm is that you must pound the cutlet thin so it fries quick and stays moist and juicy while being tender because of the pounding thin. Here, the giant brick of chicken is chewy like a piece of rubber tire because it is not pounded/tenderized and in order to cook it through, it must be way overdone. This was hands down the worst chicken parm I've ever had. Chewy, tasteless, overcooked, etc. There are lots of great dishes. Perhaps their most famous dish is the mussels. There are at least 10 varieties to pick from and you can also prepare how they are cooked. They are served in a silver bowl with handles and are covered with cheese, white wine, fennel, saffron, garlic, etc. You can get a full order for $20 or a half order for $10. The burgers are great ... better yet is for $6 on Fridays (I think) you can get a burger and a beer. From 3-6 pm or 9 pm until close M- Thurs, all appetizers are half off. There are specials each night of the week (half price wine bottles, $10 chicken parm ... ugh, etc.) The wine here has considerable markup and you can expect to pay 2 - 4 times what you would for a bottle in the store. On half price night, you can get some of the more expensive bottles for around what you'd pay in a store. For example Stags Leap is $100 per bottle at the restaurant. In the store, it would be around $50-$60 per bottle. So, on half price night you would do well. The hanger steak was the worst I've ever had. I cannot even believe it was actual hangar steak by the way it was cooked. Chewy and with no seasoning at all making it bland and stringy. The meatballs here are amazing. Salads (including my favorite, The Cobb) are fantastic. The Buffalo Cauliflower is a real great dish ... a stack of tempura fried Cauliflower drizzled with a very spicey buffalo sauce and served on a dash of blue cheese dressing. It's one of the best presentations of this dish I've ever had and at $12, the price is amazing on half off night. The staff is very friendly and super accommodating. They have outdoor cafe seating in the warmer months. The inside of the restaurant looks like it has a vintage French inspired decor but it's way too bright. They need to dim the lights a bit for a better atmosphere. Otherwise it's a lot of bright white subway tile and red walls. Overall, this place can be hit or miss but once you find out the right things to order, it will be more hit than miss. I enjoy most of my meals here and feel the value is great too. read more
