The Abbey - Happiest - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Parking situation is terrible. Tiny lot out back or risk being towed in street. Great selections of beers, and ciders. My husband got a sour that was just okay, I got the down east peach mango. It was on the sweet side domino my had one. Great, friendly service. The chicken tenders were a big win. Crispy, real chicken tenders, house made sauces on the side. No frozen crap. I've had a dozen people brag about the burger. It was good but not the best. The best burgers and house cute fries can be found at boundary in Pawtucket. The Abbies didn't even compare. Good old school music playing. Overall cool atmosphere and decent food for a little divey bar in Prov. Prices were reasonable. read more

The Abbey - I think it's the all American burger? - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Quality drinks list Friendly and knowledgeable staff A really good hang Can't believe I haven't remarked on The Abbey before. This is a neighborhood bar done well, with a healthy serving of considered beer listings, and tasty food on top. TVs are definitely showing games, music is piped in at a decent volume over top, but lively conversation all around rules your senses here. A full bar, numerous interesting taps, and ample bottle selection make this a great spot - they don't act like it overtly, but you're in good beer hands here. The busy kitchen turns out a tasty burger and other fixin's to accompany your beverage. And yet really, you're here to socialize, whether with the crowd you rolled up with or with the other patrons at the bar itself who are plenty eager to interact. Drop on by and enjoy! read more

The food is always amazing and the staff are friendly and attentive! They also have a great beer selection. So grateful to have such a perfect little pub within walking distance. It's definitely busy with Providence College students during the school year but always worth a trip. The vibes never miss! read more

Huge fan! This place is not far from where my parents house is. Haven't grown up in this neighborhood. I'm shocked that I never even discovered this place until my friend tried to take me to it a few months ago and we couldn't get food because the kitchen was closed. Anyway, I found myself back here because I was hungry and I needed a place close by so I ended up here. I actually like coming in the late afternoon so you can avoid the college crowd. The bartender, I couldn't catch his name but he has a baseball hat and longish hair was super chill and super friendly. Totally love that guy. Very friendly vibe and he set the tone for the place. Ended up getting Blueberry beer which was excellent and not overly fruity The food is on point Pulled pork sandwich which came with coleslaw as my side and it was loaded with tater tots. I actually thought the portion was very generous, very filling and it was very tasty. Irish red ale which was quite good Sour ale which was also excellent. Almost had a raspberry taste to it. Didn't get to try the burgers. I think I would in future. Bathroom is a little tight but it's clean. I really like the ambiance of the place. Parking is on the street and in the neighborhood. If you don't like the under 21 crowd, definitely come in the afternoon. It has more of a neighborhoodb vibe and the patrons are very friendly. Overall, if you're in the area I definitely recommend this place. When I visit my folks I will be back for sure. read more

The Abbey - Delicious - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I had been here two years ago and thought it was great, but I forgot the name and never came back. I had a friend suggest getting drinks here after work when it dawned on me that this is the place I had forgotten!! They got a decent tap list, extensive menu with awesome burger options, and friendly staff at The Abbey. I would recommend going in the summer before the Friars are back in town so you don't have to deal with the crowds. I'm glad I was able to come back after a long drought! read more

A local joint that is also a hang og for students. Not a spot for intimate conversations but certainly a great spot for a boisterous happy hout with friends. The burgers ate out of this world but I was mildly disappointed that my request to skip the special sauce was ignored. I applaud the gals managing the room. There is a whole lot of stuff going on! read more

What a great spot and it's two miles from Us ! We went with friends and enjoyed our time there. We all had burgers and they were so juicy ! I had the buffalo one and that' sauce was killer. I had home made chips for a side and they were so crispy. If you are a beer lover they have 92 beers ! So many craft beers it's amazing. Our server was wonderful and attentive. Kept our drinks full and checked in on us often. We are a little older than most folks in there , it's def a younger crowd but that would not deter us from going there again. Highly recommend. read more

The Abbey - Fried Oreos.. so so so crispy and delicious - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I visited the Abbey twice recently for a couple of Beanpot watch parties. The interior is larger than it looks from outside. The staff is super helpful and kind! I feel like we didn't make their lives easy, and they were SO busy as the place was packed even on a Monday evening, but they were really on top of it. We ordered a selection of different appetizers each time we visited, and I really enjoyed all of it. The soft pretzels were a favorite, and I also really liked the tater tots! The wings were good as well, and the nachos were enormous! As far as Rhode Island standards of distance go, the Abbey isn't exactly my neighborhood bar (I live in Cranston) but despite having to go out of my way to get there, I really enjoyed it! It's a fun spot if you are in the area and want some tasty bar food. read more

This is one of my favorite place to grab a good burger the food here is really good well I can only really recommend the burgers and onion rings with a cold beer! The service is great very friendly. The ambiance is a bit loud at times but it fun a good mix of people, the Cajun burger is my favorite but you have many options here at the abbey read more

The crazy thing is I've driven by here probably 100 times in 10 years (I work in the vicinity) and have never stopped in because I have always presumed It was a Providence college hang out and I'm in my 50s. Came in tonight with some friends who aren't from Providence proper but had heard of it. I said "Hell that's only 5 minutes away". It's across the street from LaSalle Bakey on Admiral St. As soon as I walked in, I knew this was my kind of place - lots of dark wood, multiple beers on tap and a fridge full of canned & bottled beer. My fellow diners got an order of the onion rings, which looked like deep-fried donuts. I opted with the chicken wings with Jack's sauce (I think it was a sweet Bourbon sauce). Our waitress Nicole was knowledgeable, affable and insanely smart. They had a Kolsch on tap (which is pretty rare around here) and the atmosphere was completely laid back. I would be all in on a full 5 star rating for the Abbey if not for the persistent and annoying presence of those pesky bar flies present both in the dining area and in the rest rooms. But apart from that, the food for our table was prepared as requested, fully cooked and delicious. I will be frequenting the Abbey again, mostly because I despise the choices on Mineral Spring Ave read more

Always a good time when coming here. It's a nostalgic dive bar with a great collection of music. And def start with an order of Chicken Wings - the 3 amigos sauce is the perfect blend- Buffalo- BBQ- Honey Mustard- not too sweet and not too hot the perfect taste. The burgers - what!!!! You can't go wrong. I had a RoadHouse Burger and yesss the traditional has not tasted much better! The bun was toasted perfectly- the burger tasty and cooked great and the sauces are all delicious. What can I say- another good dinner here backed by the awesome service. I will be back!! read more

This snug, humble neighborhood pub not only offers the best burgers in town, but I'm told at one point was voted best burger spot in America in a USA Today article. My buddy and I couldn't decide between the Highwayman (beef patty, ham and egg, bbq sauce) or the Couch Potato (bbq pork, crumbled blue cheese, sautéed onion). So we ordered both and traded halves. That proved to be the right menu hack. Both were extraordinary sandwiches, each bite a perfectly balanced flavor explosion. I paired mine with a Down East blue slushee cider. Only complaint were the fries - a bit mushy and fairly meh flavor-wise. But the burgers more than compensated. Service was quick and friendly, despite a packed house. Come early, come hungry. 5* = incredible (rare) 4* = very good/ strong desire to return 3* = generally good experience 2* = poor/ no desire to return 1* = a particularly awful experience read more

We love their Jay Burger. It's like a Swiss mushroom burger. They always make it juicy, moist, delicious. As you bite into the burger, you can taste the nice mushroom pieces, the sauce, the cheese and all the trimmings. Very good burger. We love their tater tots which are always crispy, crunchy and moist on the inside. Our friend Mechelle got the onion rings and they were delicious as well. The place gets busy during peak hours, but it's all worth it. Sometimes it gets loud as well, but hey...it's a tavern.... Plenty of street parking. read more

Great food. Service is good considering the volume. Fantastic staff! I would never turn down lunch or dinner at the Abby Tavern!

The best burgers we've ever had. I got the Roadhouse and hubby had a classic burger. The fries were handcut and seasoned just right. Their mozzarella sticks are not your average run of the mill and the marinara sauce with shaved parmesan cheese are incredible. We are already planning on going back sooner rather than later! read more

I have not been to the Abbey in forever, and stopped in the other night with my son. He seemed to enjoy himself as he HOUSED the uncle sam burger. I ordered the classic rueben and ended up taking it to go - since I ran into an old friend and just talked the whole time. The last time I went I swear there were low tops everywhere and a bench (I remember going to sit and missing and falling). I like the high tops and it looked nicer inside than I remember. Our waiter was quick, friendly, funny. I should go there more often. I was expecting a crowd (Monday Night Football?) and it wasn't bad, picked up as we were heading out. read more

During quarantine, my husband and I have sought out takeout from whatever places are offering it during this time. A craving for a solid burger led us here. The Abbey did not disappoint! We both got burgers on pretzel buns with Cajun mayo to dip our burger and fries in. The burger was huge and juicy and the pretzel bun was the perfect compliment. And the fries??? Those are some of the best I've ever had. How have I never been here before? Well I'm so glad I did, Bonus: you can get their variety of beer cans to-go. read more

This was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. The bartender was also the server he was wonderful I apologize for not remembering his name and I forgot to write it down. The burgers came out hot and fresh it also included hand cut french fries which those who know me know that I prefer to have french fries that r fresh . We were supposed to get onion rolls with it but unfortunately the young man was sold out we ended up getting marble rye bread but it was so good. We would love to go back there another time or we could take and check out some other burgers cause it was definitely two or three other ones we would like to try. All around this was one of the best experiences we had so far. This burger also came from the burger passport of Rhode Island food fight read more

Just a really good college bar with great food and music. Right off Providence college campus. We even saw a real Friar! He had his robe on and everything but sadly a full head of hair unlike Friar Tuck. Looks are deceiving. Looks small from outside but big inside. Must visit! read more

Have eaten here with my PC student very often and have never gotten a bad meal. Great, comfy local place.

There were 6 in our party, best burger I have had in a restaurant in a long time ! Everyone enjoyed their meal selections, service was attentive and very friendly. Standout menu items: the roadhouse burger ( cooked perfect) the steak tip flatbread , and the Caesar salad was one of the best, flavorful, crisp romaine great croutons. Highly recommend the Abbey! A must try if your in the area. read more

As soon as I walked in a realized this is definitely a burger joint! Everyone had a burger or wings, it was 50cent wings night (Tuesday's) looks like they have a special for every night. We waited to be seated and it was very quick especially considering the full capacity! Nice service quick and accurate! Had to ask for silverware and condiments but that's just the boogizeness (idk how to spell it but you get it haha) Lots of drink specials and good prices. it's a bar environment, games, bar, tables and music. Parking was easy mainly residential street parking. read more

Great find thanks to yelp! We were traveling on road trip and was so happy to find a great place with great food. The burgers were HUGE, enough for two meals. The menu describes each burger or sandwich with the most unique sounding and different ingredients- you may want to try them all! My choice was the 'Couch Potato'. read more

Wow this is the best burger I've had in a long time! Got the BBQ burger, it was delicious and the bun was nicely grilled. For an appetizer we got the Buffaque wings and they were cooked perfectly and they were drenched in sauce! Great service even though they were very busy. read more

The food, portion and service are "Amazing"! My best friend (who is legally blind and def) signed to me "This is the best burger I've ever had!" I'm still learning sign, but I think that's what he said; he had a mouth full of food and his hands were just 'covered' in sauce. He wore 1/2 of it, but still... just seeing the smile on his face was definitely worth the trip. The table next to us kept getting spritzed with BBQ sauce, so we had to keep our signing to a minimum. We'll be back for seconds and 'then some'! read more

Went to the Abbey on 9/18/20 upon a recommendation from a colleague for a burger and I must say it was tasty. The burger I had was the "Uncle Sam" and my wife had the "Honky Tonk" the second one had pulled pork on top. We also had fries and a Caesar Salad, it was all good...The fries were "shoestring" and done well. It's a bar vibe with National and Local Beers to choose from. Service was good and the place had a friendly vibe. It's definitely worth a try if you are in the mood for a Burger. read more

Easily one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. No picture of it because it was devoured quickly. Juicy and cooked to perfection. The burger with the caramelized onions and onion bun is an absolute gift from the heavens. Beer battered mozzarella are delicious and different from any other mozzarella stick I've ever had. Highly recommended. Homemade chips are a staple on the menu with some tasty French onion dip. Great variety of wing flavors as well. I particularly loved their selection of British beer. Some are not easy to find so this was an added bonus. read more

The quality of the food here is always top notch. We stop here whenever we visit the kids at Providence College. Potato skins, burgers, chili....all excellent.

I usually go to The Abbey on Tuesdays for wing night. Their special is 50 cent wings from 5pm-close (minimum 5 wings per order and per sauce). So far I've tried the following flavors: Buffalo, buffacue, sweet Thai chili (my favorite), kickn' sticky jack, salt and pepper, and steakhouse. The waitresses/waiters are really nice and efficient. For you sport lovers, there are 7 TVs in the establishment so don't worry about missing any games while you're out dining. read more
