    Great breakfast spot, and very reasonably priced. I loved the healthy breakfast omelet as it was loaded with spinach, feta, and mushrooms. The fruit was fresh and sweet; coffee was great too. If the day is nice, definitely sit outside.

    We went in at 10 am on a Thursday morning. A couple walked in a half second before we did. They were immediately greeted and someone took their drink order they got their first and second drinks before anyone ever greeted us. Our orders were taken about 3 mins apart, yet they are more than halfway finished with their meals before we got our food. Our server (Madison) never checked on us but, honestly, it wasn't needed. Whoever is working the grill is amazing! I asked for over medium eggs and they were perfectly cooked. No trace of runny whites and the yolk was still runny. Absolute perfection. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came medium rare. Usually with smaller cuts of meat, I order medium rare and I get medium well. Not here. The pico is wonderfully fresh and limey. The beans are flavorful as is the steak. I was beyond delighted that the plate came with corn tortillas instead of flour which seems to be the typical offering in New England. The habanero benny was the perfect combo of sweet and heat. Not too spicy, but tons of flavor. We ordered the sauce on the side in case it was too hot, but it was perfect. Could've used more hollandaise, but no complaints overall. I wish I had more room in my stomach to eat other offerings (the seasonal French toast looks like it would make amazing dessert). If I'm back in RI, I'll definitely come back for breakfast. Hopefully the service will be more attentive in the future (the couple who walked in with us finished their meal and were gone a good 15 mins before anyone brought us our check).

    My favorite brunch place in RI! I would come here all the time when I lived in Pawtucket -- it is such a treat every time. I order something different every time and there hasn't been a dish I dislike. Parking is limited, but you can find street parking in the area. The wait is long on the weekends, I've waited anywhere between 20-45 minutes but I think it's worth the wait every time!! The place is small but cozy, I have been to their other locations where the interior is larger but I find the Pawtucket location to be my favorite when it comes to the food and ambiance :)

    Went on a solo breakfast adventure after work. This is a small but cozy breakfast spot. Luckily, it wasn't busy, and I was told to seat myself. A kind waitress took my drink order and brought it over while I washed my hands in their well-kept bathroom. When I returned, my coffee and water were already waiting for me. After adding creamer, the waitress came back to take my order: two chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and crispy bacon. The pancakes were warm and fluffy, with a generous pile of whipped cream on top. The bacon was thick-cut and cooked perfectly. I left that plate empty. I asked for a coffee refill -- it was the perfect temperature and blend. I paid my bill and sat for a while, enjoying the early afternoon and slowly sipping my coffee. Can't wait to be back.

    The Rhody Hen is a solid choice for a hearty standard American breakfast. Service is prompt and friendly, and despite the small footprint of the restaurant, they are able to squeeze in a decent number of tables. I enjoyed The Rhody Hen omelette, with sweet caramelized onions, mushrooms, chicken sausage, spinach and Swiss cheese. The red skin breakfast potatoes were well cooked and seasoned, and they offer plenty of toast options, including my favorite (rye bread)! Their coffee is from local Downeast Coffee Roasters, and the servers make sure you're consistently topped off.

    Crab cake Benedict with avocado and grilled steak tip Benedict with caramelized onions and mushrooms

    We went here a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post this review. Service was 10/10. She was really nice and helpful. I did not catch her name, but her recommendation for adding avocado to my crab cake Benedict was spot on. I definitely had low expectations for the crab cake Benedict because it's a breakfast spot and usually the crab cake isn't the best on the menu. But wow was I wrong. The crab was so good! Some crab cakes I've had are all breadcrumbs, not this one. This was a legitimate crab cake, crab in every bite. And it tasted really good too, seasoned nicely and not fishy at all. Easily just skyrocketed to my number one favorite breakfast dish at a breakfast restaurant. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare. So tender as well. Highly recommend adding mushrooms and caramelized onions as well (I will definitely get like that every time). We also split a churro waffle (it was a special that day, I'm not sure if they still have), but it was also fantastic. It had caramelized bananas and churros on top. I couldn't finish. Took it home and it was still super good. I highly highly recommend. Make sure to try the crab cake Benedict and add avocado!!!

    Pumpkin pancake

    Coming back to Rhode Island just to come back here. Are you kidding me? What a gem this place is. I love the cozy environment but it's no where near simple when it comes to their offerings and rotation of the menu and seasonal drinks. I was thoroughly impressed by the service and QUALITY of the food. Our server was kind and attentive and we took our time enjoying every single bite. The pumpkin pancake has to be the best pancake I've ever had and that's by no exaggeration. Definitely make the stop here if you're in the area and you won't regret it.

    Easily the best breakfast food I've ever had. The place was busy but that didn't prevent the staff from being attentive. I highly recommend eating here!

    Bloody Mary
    Bre B.

    Seriously, New Year's resolution to get fit? I vote for get fluffy it's gonna be a cold winter we all need that extra layer of fluff for insulation! This month's specials are seriously fantastic! My tastebuds are so happy! Did an eye roll over the first bite of the cinnamon swirl French toast....didnt think I needed it but the Vermont maple syrup soooooo good. I've become addicted to their bloody Mary's....they offer a variety of types and I highly recommend you try each of them (it requires multiple visits which is a huge plus!) my fav is the tequila Bloody Mary....there's just something about it. Hey if you've decided to go for the New Year's resolution of fit, you need a reward.....this is a great option!

    This place makes good omelettes. I really enjoy the Hot Kiss Omelet, which comes with chorizo, onions, peppers, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese, and is topped with pico de gallo and fresh avocado.

    I love supporting local, fresh farms, and I think this place has become my favorite so far. My significant other was also impressed! We will definitely come back!

We started out with my husband's newfound favorite, the clam cakes. I appreciated the herbiness of the breadcrumbs they were fried in. My husband got the crab roll for his entree, and I did like the bite I was able to sneak of it. I really wanted the lobster roll but that $42 price tag turned me away quickly. Instead I got the fish and chips with pollock for my entree. I am always complaining about portion sizes. Not here, I was only able to finish around 1/3 of it. It is substantial! Not only was it a generous portion, but it was really nicely fried, and I loved the flaky salt on it. My one complaint is the sauces that you pay extra for. I got some piri-piri mayo and garlic aioli. Both of these were absolutely not worth it, grossly lacking in flavor. Don't waste your money on these and stick with ketchup. The staff was friendly, helpful, and as attentive as they could be from inside the food truck. The locale is super cute with a bunch of picnic tables out on a patio. The parking is super limited though so beware. Would definitely recommend!

They only offer outdoor seating, so I'd saying nice weather is key to enjoy a meal here, but we lucked out. My wife and I placed our order at the window, and waited for them to call our name. We split a cup of clam chowder (white) and a lobster roll. Food was ready pretty quickly and was delicious. The lobster roll was not only full, but it was packed with huge chunks of meat, very tasty, it was also served with French fries. The clam chowder was also tasty, with good flavor and decent chunks of clam inside. Prices here were a bit high, but the quality of the food was very high, and very fresh. Portions are decent, as we were able to share one lobster roll and a cub of chowder, and it was adequate. They also had live music playing to add a little ambiance If you find yourself in downtown Providence, I'd recommend this as a staple to check out.

Since we were 5 people, we joined a couple tables to have more space. We went to the counter to grab a menu and decide on what we'd get. To have a diverse plate, we decided on pasta and meatballs, a large grilled chicken sandwich with everything + mayo, and a large pizza 3-way combo - onions and pepper, pepperoni, and sausage. They don't have 2 L bottles of soda, but they were nice enough to let us know we could go buy one across the street at the gas station (downside: they are not refrigerated). They also asked if we wanted everything at the same time or whenever they're done; It was a kind gesture. After about 20-30 minutes, the food came out. It was hot, fresh, and overall, everything was delicious. The pasta and meatballs came out in an aluminum container, about 5 in x 8 in. There was a good amount of red sauce and 4 big meatballs. The meatballs were really delicious, with the red sauce being average, and the pasta cooked a bit longer than al dente. I usually prefer white sauces, but red is the only option they have. They couldn't cut to the sandwich is 5 pieces since it would create a mess, so the best they could do is 4. The sandwich was toasted perfectly. It had a good amount of chicken. The toppings were fresh. Although it was a simple sandwich, I was very pleased with the taste. The pizza was good. My only complaint would be that I wish it were cooked a bit more for a crispier experience - in hindsight, I should've specified this when ordering. This also goes for the veggies where I wish they were grilled to have a slight char before putting it on the pizza or allowing them to get crispy. However, I think flavor wise, it was good. The sausage was really delicious and the cheese, although it didn't have a pull, it was the right amount and tasty. We paid about $50 for this food, which was good considering the 5 of us ate and left satisfied.

    Providence's own version of CHEERS…read more I've been here several times now and consider the Ivy Tavern to be the best bar in Providence. The customers are all super nice, unique, and interesting humans. Moreover, the staff of AAJJMO --- Alex, Allen, Josh, Julia, Mike, and Olivia --- are incredibly friendly, witty, and funny. The cocktails and food are also outstanding - I especially recommend the bimbap bowl, fish and chips, korean wings, and burger. You will also find the service to be top notch. The bartenders/servers gird up their loins and exhibit extreme hustle during peak hours, while still being able to charm you with a wink or a joke as they move from table to table. If you have not been to the Ivy in the past few years, I highly recommend it. Since Allen was hired as manager a few years ago, the place has become one of Providence's hidden gems.

    Rating: 3.5 stars…read more The food was good, but not worth the price. The burger didn't taste like anything special and the bun just tasted like it was pulled right from the store-bought bag. Similarly, the fries were definitely from a freezer bag of french fries and barely had salt or pepper. Basically it tasted like what you'd have at like a backyard cookout? TLDR: fine, but it shouldn't cost $18 + tip. For this price I expect a nice toasted bun & homemade fries & a bit more flavor. They also messed up my order which is not a big deal but the waiter came back to the table to confirm my order and when he repeated it back, he had the temperature and the cheese wrong. It was then brought to me with tomato but no lettuce-- I had asked for lettuce with no tomato. The waiter was nice though!
