Grits with Pulled Pork
Erika W.

I was in town for a work conference and, as always when I travel, I make it a point to support local Black-owned businesses. That's how I ended up at The District for brunch--and I'm so glad I did! To start, I ordered the Guavamosa (champagne, elderflower, and guava juice). It was super light and refreshing--definitely one of those drinks that creeps up on you (in the best way)! Perfect for brunch vibes. For my main dish, I got the Grits with Pulled Pork. It usually comes with poached eggs, but I swapped them for eggs over medium. Let me tell you... those grits? So savory and well-seasoned--I'd come back just for a bowl of them. The pulled pork had a sweet, smoky flavor that paired beautifully with the grits, and the runny egg yolk brought everything together into one creamy, delicious bite. I sat outside, so I can't speak much to the indoor ambiance, but the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, timely, and super attentive, which I really appreciated as a solo diner. Highly recommend for a chill brunch with bold flavors and great energy. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Providence! #ImNotAFoodie #ImJustAGirlWhoLovesFood #YelpEliteSquad

Pizza - hard pass! Total disappointment
Sila R.

The disappointment! We drove all the way from Boston to try this place. The first time we came was on a weekend, but since it's such a cozy spot, we couldn't get seats. We decided to come back again--this time determined! The drinks were amazing--I had a margarita that was perfect. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip (honestly, the best I've ever had!). The cauliflower was a little burnt but still tasted great. The ladies enjoyed the poppers, though I don't do that level of spice. We also tried the cheese pizza, hot honey pizza, The Graduate, and a burger. The Graduate was good, though the beans were a bit bland. No complaints about the burger. But the pizzas... total disappointment. No flavor, no seasoning--they looked great but tasted like cardboard. Such a letdown after everything else started off so strong. Let me not forget to recognize how nice the waitress was - on it, attentive and pleasant !

cornbread benedict
Bridget S.

Wow! Amazing food, okay service, and a limited menu. My table of two had the crab cake benedict and cornbread benedict - they were both delectable. I'd highly recommend either and I'd absolutely drive the hour from Boston just to eat them again! My meal included flavorful cornbread, perfectly poached eggs, and a refreshing side salad. Great portions for the prices. Our servers did seem to forget about us. It wasn't bad enough to cause a serious compliant, but it did impact my experience (we had to flag them down after about 20 minutes of our empty plates and card out in front of us). Lastly, the menu is very limited - it's worth looking in advance if you have dietary restrictions. The drinks side is clearly alcohol-focused, none of the non-alcoholic drinks looked interesting which was especially unfortunate for brunch because I would have loved tea!

Eggs Benedict
Tiffany Y.

Came here for brunch and it was pretty busy but we got seated pretty quickly. Environment was loud but it's what you expect for a brunch place. My food was DELICIOUS and exactly what I was looking for when it! Love coming here for their brunch food.

Jerry! The best bartender in RI!
Andrea R.

I love this place! I am a frequent visitor and love the staff, food, and drinks! There is on street parking, and a parking lot across the street. On Fridays, it gets real busy, because they have a live band, so get there early (7-8). Today, I had the blacken salmon, harvest salad and fries. It was so good! Jerry is the best bartender in RI. Also, the garlic knots are great!

Huevos rancheros
Annie R.

Food: I came here years ago for the pizza and remembered it was really good. This is my first time doing brunch here and it was soooo good! I ordered the Huevos rancheros. Eggs was cooked over medium and just perfectly done. The flavors were all there and I love how they mixed sweet potatoes in with the homefries. It was a great balance. My fiancé ordered the salmon Benedict and it was also really yummy. Service: We had a super attentive and nice waitress. She was great Ambiance: The place is bigger than it looks. The seating was nice and not too close together. It was pretty packed so I recommend getting reservations done before hand. The set up looks really cool and everything was clean. I'll be coming back!

Crabcake Benedict. Replaced poached eggs with fried eggs.
Candice S.

Came here on my birthday for Sunday brunch and overall it was a pleasant experience. No frills, and even though I listed in my reservation that it was for a special occasion specifically my birthday nothing was mentioned or done. But not a big deal not holding it against them. The service was great. Our waitress was present and kept checking on us, food came out quickly and so did the drinks. The guavamosa was really good and was the perfect balance. The tequila sangria on the other hand was not. I'm not a fan of red wine and it was so overpowering. You couldn't even taste the tequila. It took me the whole time to get the drink finished because it just wasn't that enjoyable. But if you like red wine, then you will love the drink. The Benedict was super yummy, the chicken and waffles was also really crisp. Definitely would go back to dine inside for dinner one day.

Chicken Milanese
Michael P.

I've probably been here a half dozen times or so. Always for lunch or dinner, I have not had the Brunch. It's always been a "Solid" 4-star spot for me. I recently visited with a couple friends and my wife and after talking it up as a great all around spot, this time I was let a little let down. The pizza which is typically what draws me in was a little too light on the sauce and the crust didn't have its typical chew and was quite dry. Normally it's got a great "New York" style chew to it and has a mildly sweet hint from the honey in the dough. This time, the pizza was serviceable but it was lacking for me (the Pink Ala Vodka is one I've had multiple times in the past. The Felony Burger is aptly named, as the meat they used in this deserves a felony charge. We asked for medium rare because no should be cooked further unless it's a smash burger. I actually almost sent this back but since we were with company I decided not to draw out the time here.. It was still cooked medium-well and it was clearly a pre-shaped and frozen burger. It didn't taste fresh and the texture was dense. There was next to no steak sauce on the burger either. It unfortunately lacked moisture and flavor overall. The chicken milanese was a pleasant surprise. I figured I'd give this a shot as I've had burgers and pizza here before along with some other sandwiches. It was flavorful and prepared well. It could have come with a small side, but it was something I got to keep things a little lighter. Overall, the aim of my visit this time was to socialize a bit with a couple friends and it was good for that, although a bit loud in the restaurant, it served that purpose. The only other grievance besides the food was that our server was very difficult to hear- I can't remember her name but The District is notoriously loud and bustling, the servers need to be sure their guests can hear them. Not in a rush to come back here but I'm sure I'll give it another shot at some point- will likely just stick to pizza, though, as the majority of the other dishes were not well liked by our party. But to that point, lots of good pizza in PVD and if that's what you're looking for, check out the surrounding options.

Huevos Rancheros w Mixed Fries
Alex V.

We got there at opening for brunch and had reservations just in case, I feel that if you get there before 11am, you should be fine if it's a party of 3 or less but anything more than that or after that, DEFINITELY, make a reservation. The service was quick and friendly and the restaurant itself has an elevated bar feel to it. If you seated at a certain side of the restaurant you can see the bar and the person making pizzas. For brunch, we had a regular coffee, water, and the Guava Moscow Mule Mocktail, which was delicious! For food, we got the Huevos Rancheros which were delicious and so were the mixed fries. The mixed fries are just potatoes & sweet potatoes mixed but they were good. The chicken & waffles were good too! I personally don't like cinnamon but I also didn't read on the menu that it was a cinnamon waffle, so that is my fault, but I still enjoyed the food! I'd love to come back for dinner/lunch to try their pizzas because someone ordered a chicken bacon ranch one & it smelled absolutely delicious as we were leaving!

There was a bit of a wait around 9:30am on a Sunday but I can appreciate that the sandwiches are made fresh. I got the Sunday Sandwich and wanted to swap the bacon for an extra egg; however, I later saw the worker charged me for an extra egg instead. I wish they allowed the substitution especially when the cost is comparable. The Sunday Sandwich was delicious and well balanced with fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked over medium eggs, super crispy hashbrowns, and the thin bolo bread which I was a big fan of. Chive On was a good try as it combined the savory eggs with the sweet honey and a little spice from the sriracha along with the creaminess from the cream cheese. If you're a texture person, you would love this one! From a price and fullness perspective, the Sunday Sandwich was the winner but both really great tries!

The food is generally very tasty, though occasionally you really don't get what you pay for. For example, when I get bagels there with cream cheese (which they charge $1.25 for), I will get almost no cream cheese on the bagel. (See picture for a recent example.) The space is a bit small and the wait can be a bit long, but the experience is generally worth it.

This a local spot, if you know, you know, and if you don't, now you do :) Let me just say that if there is one thing to really focus in on, it's consistency. In today's economy with everything so expensive you sometimes feel like you don't get the best value for money spent. So let me tell you, these guys and girls nail it every single time. First off it's a super cozy spot, perfectly lit with a high end tavern type feel. Service is always prompt and friendly. Ask anyone working and they're happy to help you out. You'll never hear let me get your server. Drinks ! Specialty drafts that are nearly impossible to find anywhere else. Drinks that are so well thought out and properly made. The wife hasn't been able to complain once ;) and that's saying something. The dishes speak for themselves just look at the pics. Who makes sausage cups for dipping ??! This place does. The wife had a watermelon salad here years ago and hasn't stopped talking about it. There is literally something here for everyone and every pallet preference. You have to try their brunch ! It's nice to see a place that really prides itself on what it serves. The wife and I were able to get a sitter and finally have a dinner night and Rogue never disappoints. Getting into the city can be a pain sometimes but it's so worth it coming here. They buy their products from local sources and they're a local business. I love to support it and can't wait to eat here again. For me to take the time to write this is saying a lot but the guys and girls who make this place run, really deserve the recognition.

Service was friendly & helpful, and the menu offers many delicious sounding options. Food is fast casual style (order at the counter, get a card - here all were west side street signs, not the usual numbered placards, food will be delivered to your table. I had the avocado shakshuka, my husband had the lox omelet (see the photo). Despite the large menu of fancy coffee options, we each had a basic iced. It was served in a glass, which was a nice touch. Self serve milk was at a station in the dining room area. Coffee was good, cold but I would have traded some coffee for a bit more ice to stay that way as I drank it slowly. Both of us were surprised when our meals were delivered: the plates were beaut! In particular his omelet was absolutely gorgeous! Now for the flavors: the omelet had a generous helping of perfect cooked eggs (not sitting in a pile of grease, as restaurant omelets frequently are). It was so fluffy that we both thought "that's way more than the advertised 3 eggs," and the lox was thickly layered whole slices nestled inside the fold. Most places chop the lox like vegetables, add it to the eggs, & make it like a veggie omelet - meh. This iteration was perfect; the lox tasted like smoked salty fish, losing none of that flavor to the omelet itself. The potatoes? Fabulous! Great spice mix, cooked until they were crispy. That was a tasty bit of marble rye toast too. My shakshuka was very good, but a bit less successful. The elements were all excellent; the avocado was actually guacamole since it was mashed & there were tomatoes and spices in the dish. The combination worked, except for the bread element. The dish as presented was really more of an avocado toast with shakshuka on top. It might have been more successful to add the avocado/guacamole as a unique base on the plate, with the tomato sauce and eggs on top with toast on the side (as is the way shakshuka is traditionally served) because halfway through the bread got really soggy & less appetizing. Still, the first few bites, while everything was still warm? So good!

I debated whether or not to leave this review but after seeing a few others talk about the service…read moreI thought it was good to be honest. To be clear I ordered pick up and since it was my first time here and I'm rather short and it's hard to see through others, I missed seeing where the pick up orders sat (so that's kinda on me) and I waited in the line for no reason. I'm not faulting them for that! That being said it seems like Cru may need to work on their organization and flow. The lines appear to get a bit backed up (which it seems like a steady Sunday brunch flow nothing so crazy) and when it was my turn at the counter and I was just going to ask for my pick up the server said in a not apologetic or friendly tone before I could say anything "sorry I have a bunch of drinks to make so I'm gonna have to push you guys back." Now for me it's just an oh well I'm just grabbing this it should be ready and I leaned where the pick ups sit, but for the 8-10 people waiting in the line behind me it really felt like okay maybe you need someone else at front of house then (which would be I imagine a staffing issue and not this servers fault individually). Aside from this I really wanted to like cru as it's a somewhat more affordable place (and they REALLY tout this on their website to the max) so I think you could forget all the former info if the food was good but when it came to my food it was really just...fine. It makes sense how their lox sandwich could be so cheap as there was barely any smoked salmon (or cream cheese) and the omelette was meh as well. Not a ton of flavor to anything and nothing special. All in all I wouldn't return and I think it would be a bit disingenuous to give it any of a higher rating (and if there were half stars I'd probably give it lower). There are so many much better local places around so I wouldn't see any reason to return here.
