    I honestly had a great time here! I came here on a whim with some of my friends and we got an…read moreoutdoor patio spot! This restaurant is in an unassuming house that I even got lost when I was originally looking for it. Turns out, you just have to find the house with the 51 on top of the door! The patio is covered and quite a nice space. We all got drinks and I have to say - their bartender impressed me for sure. I was working that night so I couldn't drink any alcohol, but I told my waiter what kind of flavors I would want in a mocktail and the bartender whipped up something extremely delicious and very fitting for me which made me happy! As for food, the spicy chicken impressed me with the spice. Normally I can handle a good amount but this was very spicy, but in a great way. Fries were also good. Would definitely come back for drinks and light dinner with friends! Parking is on the street. Patio has good vibes :)

Parking is all street, and the restaurant itself is tucked into the neighborhood without much signage--look for the big door with "51" overhead so you don't miss it. Drinks were a highlight: punchy, strong, and super refreshing--exactly the kind of cocktails that make you want to linger a little longer. My girlfriend wanted a mocktail since she was working that night, but didn't know exactly what she wanted. She asked for fruity, refreshing, and sour - and they whipped up a custom mocktail and truly delivered! Pretty good prices too. Waitstaff was awesome and bartender knows what they're doing. Food-wise, I'd definitely recommend the fries (crispy and addictive), the chicken (go for spicy if you can handle heat--it's legit but balanced), and the dahl, which was comforting and flavorful. The crudo was refreshing but portion-wise a bit on the smaller side, so I'd probably skip that next time. Overall, really enjoyed the vibe here--chill, modern, and it would make a really cute date spot. Would definitely come back for the drinks and small plates.

    To quote Bon Appetit: "Not all pizzas served in a bar are 'bar pizza.'" Certainly not all bar…read morepizzas are Bobby's Bar Pizza either. If you're wondering what 'bar pizza' is (as I was before tonight), it's a very thin pie cooked in a pan until it has a lovely crisp edge but doesn't turn into a cracker with toppings as many thin crust pizzas do (the last bit is not the formal definition but my commentary). Bar pizzas are served at bars but it's the preparation that sets it apart as a genre of pizza. It's not just any old pizza served at a bar. How do I define bar pizza, namely Bobby's Bar Pizza? Bobby's serves literally everything I want in a pizza in one supremely scarily digestible format. The edges are perfectly crispy all around. There's enough chew, spring, and airiness to the slice. The sauce is perfect with tomatoes and herbs as the dominant notes; I forgot just how good pizza sauce could be on its own until trying Bobby's. As I've become notorious for stating on Yelp previously, I like cheese as a component that ties pizza together and not as the dominant note of the pizza. Bobby's does cheese just right. What's so unique about Bobby's Bar Pizza is how I think the size of the pizza also contributes uniquely to how good it is. Each slice is no more than a few bites so you get the best sensory aspects of eating pizza without any mouth fatigue or getting full fast on boring bites from the middle of these sheet-sized slices. I'd plan accordingly; I'd say one pizza or a little less is sufficient for a hungry adult looking for a meal or two adults who are looking just for a snack. Here I am, waxing poetic about pizza but what does my florid prose matter if you don't have basic deets? Bobby's operates as a pop-up out of The Parlour on Monday and Wednesday evenings. They request that you pay in cash. I left work late and forgot to go to the ATM before (typical). They were so cool; they allowed me to pay with CashApp. Solid. This level of attention and care for customers is among the many reasons I try to shop local. It is so cool that we have this excellent pop-up with a unique genre of pizza right here in town. Support them! You will not be disappointed.

Lobster roll was a 10/10. Great portion and taste. The brioche is perfectly buttered. The lobster is at a good temperature. The fries have a perfect old bay seasoning.

I ended up going alone this time, but I came back with enough leftovers and commentary to share that the whole experience could easily be pieced together in anyone's head pretty clearly. The first thing that stands out is the setup. It's casual in the best possible way. Nothing pretentious, nothing overworked. You walk up, order, wait a bit, and then suddenly you've got seafood in a paper tray that somehow tastes like summer even when you're wedged into a busy city block instead of sitting by the water. There's a kind of controlled chaos to it, especially during peak hours, but it moves. I went with the absolute classics without hesitation: a fried fish sandwich and a side of fries, plus a lobster roll that, frankly, looked like it was built for someone who doesn't believe in restraint. The fish sandwich was the standout. Crisp coating, flaky inside, not greasy in that heavy way that ruins a good fry. The bun held together without collapsing into mush, which is always a small victory in a city seafood spot. The fries were solid, nothing revolutionary, but they did their job without trying to steal attention from the main event. The lobster roll was more of a classic Rhode Island style than anything over-complicated. Generous chunks, lightly dressed, and not drowned in filler. It leaned into freshness rather than gimmicks, which is exactly what you want when you're this close to the water. It didn't feel like it was trying to reinvent anything, just execute the basics well enough that you stop thinking about it and just eat. What I like about places like this is that they don't overpromise. Dune Brothers isn't trying to be a white-tablecloth seafood restaurant, and it doesn't need to be. It's quick, it's reliable, and it feels like it belongs in downtown.

Very reasonable prices and a litnay of choices to quench your hunger! With house made lemonade on the menu I couldn't pass it up. When asking there are a few flavor options from blueberry, strawberry dragonfruit and a few more I don't remember. I went with dragonfruit and the lemonade was flavorful and perfect for me with not being too sweet nor tart. For starters I chose a chowder as it is a part of the Friday menu to choose from. They have both red and white and I chose the latter. It was smooth, cream full of a good mix of veggies and clams. For the main I went with bacon cheeseburger and I don't know just how to articulate how much of a comfort burger this is but boy oh boy it was a great diner style burger! The staff is very welcoming and friendly keeping the food and conversation flowing throughout the visit! Thank you for a great dining experience! There is both street parking or a small off street lot to utilize during your visit. Be it cash, card or Venmo there are plenty of ways to settle the bill. Looking forward to coming back to sample more of the menu options! Appreciate you Stanley's!!

She had just a couple of deviled eggs, which were a little dry, then continued with a good seasonal salad, accompanied by excellent bread which the restaurant gets from the ex-Wayland bakery, which has unfortunately moved to Pawtucket and changed its name For my main dish I had the appetizer mussels mariniere - tasty and just the right portion for lunch. With great willpower I did not order the fries as I had some the night before. And ended with an espresso. Our waiter, Joe, was knowledgeable about the food (and brought us an extra helping of bread) and gave excellent service. (We gave him a good tip.) As usual, the place was noisy but less so than in the evening. This really is an American bistro, reminiscent of the ones in Paris. The check came to under $50 per person, probably because we did not have any wine as it was the middle of the day. However, we left feeling replete.

Staff greeted us and got to see it real quick. We and another party was only ones there lunch time. Probably more take out than dine in. Menu selection was huge, so much to choose from. My gf is from china so picked out some noteworthy dishes to try and they did not disappoint! 4/5 stirfry bacon with bamboo shoots was excellent. The bacon is more like the fatty cross section of pork that's thinly sliced. It had a smoky flavor to it which mixes well with the crunchy bamboo and peppers. The spice level was also just right to give the dish a good kick. 3.5/5 fried intestines were also good but just didn't hit as well as the other dishes. Maybe just not crunchy enough. At least also spiced well. 5/5 Salted egg yolk with tofu... I could not stop eating this dish with rice. I don't know what kind of tofu they were using, but it was super silky, but it was also maintaining its form really well in firmness so doesn't break apart in contact. The salty egg yolk flavor balances out with the tofu and rice. It's so it's like a comfort food for me. 4.5/5 beef with Longhorn peppers, definitely on the spicy side, which I love. This dish was a bit softer than normal, but I was fine since we had rice to go with it. The beef strands mixed well with the thin sliced peppers so it was easy chew and the spice packs a punch. Overall, I love this place and will definitely come again when I'm around the area. The menu is so huge that I feel like I have to come back multiple times just to try 80% of the menu.
