Fresh, local and prepared with love and attention. The server was attentive and friendly, we had very little wait. The restaurant is clean, well adorned and utilizes wall space tolerate intimate dining areas. The brunch menue extended beyond the usual egg based fair as well as more lunch like offerings. Nick knew one of us and he sent along some little extras. The parfait was delicious and a small plate cookie finished the meal. The eggs. Oh my the eggs.Local and so good, the fried potatoes were so tender and crisp. The biscuits was to die for....The stuff dreams are made of!​

We also got the bread & butter, which the bread & honey spread was a 11/10. The food did take a little longer to come out, but I believe that's because they make everything fresh, which is so worth the wait. Super cute place with an outside patio as well! Go and try this place!!

Chomp is one of those Providence restaurants that I keep finding myself coming back to, even after…read moretelling myself I should probably try something else on the menu. I've eaten my way through quite a few things here over the years, and while there are plenty of good choices, I keep coming back to the Smokey and the Bandit smash burger. At this point, I probably know what I'm ordering before I even sit down. There's just something about that combination that keeps winning. The food here is consistently good. Everything I've had has been fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and the kitchen seems to have that part figured out without making a big production of it. The menu has enough variety that you can come in with different appetites and still find something you want, but it doesn't feel like one of those places with a menu the size of a small novel where you need twenty minutes just to decide what you're looking at. The beer selection is another reason I enjoy Chomp. There's enough variety to make choosing a beer part of the experience rather than simply grabbing whatever happens to be on tap. Prices are also pretty reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which is increasingly something I notice because restaurant prices have a funny way of creeping upward when you're not paying attention. The location is another part of the appeal. Chomp sits in a great little part of Providence where you can easily make an evening out of being in the neighborhood. There are plenty of other restaurants, shops, and places to wander around nearby, so it doesn't feel like you're making a special trip just to eat and then immediately getting back in the car. Tonight, though, I have to give a special shout-out to Bella, who was our server. She was outstanding. Friendly, personable, attentive without hovering, and genuinely helpful. She suggested adding bacon to my Smokey and the Bandit, which I probably wouldn't have thought to do on my own. I'm very glad she mentioned it because it was an excellent call. Sometimes the best recommendations are the simple ones, and she nailed it. One piece of advice if you're planning on coming here: make a reservation if you can. Chomp can fill up quickly, and given how good the food is, that really shouldn't come as much of a surprise. It's the kind of restaurant where people come back because they already know they're going to have a good meal, and I'm certainly part of that group. Five stars from me. Great food, good beer, reasonable prices, a fantastic Providence location, and genuinely good service. I've tried enough of the menu over the years to know that Chomp has plenty of options, but apparently I'm still incapable of walking through the door without ordering that Smokey and the Bandit. Add Bella's bacon recommendation to the list of reasons I'm going to keep coming back.

We had a takeout order and it was very disappointing. The paper bag for the delivery was soaked…read morewith grease. That aside, we ordered several varieties of wings, a couple different burgers and sandwiches, and a salad. The wings were OK, but about as dry as could be, almost inedible. The burgers were just eh. Both the Smash Burger and House Burger were decently cooked but greasy with little flavor. The Smokey Melt was a little more flavorful but really heavy and greasy. The worst item by far was the Caesar Salad. Honestly it looked like someone sliced up lettuce like you would for a sub sandwich, or used a 1990s Salad Shooter, and threw it in a styrofoam dish. It didn't even resemble a salad I'd avoid this place.

Came here for brunch. Love the vibe and interior plus exterior decor. We sat inside because we…read morewanted to look at the decorations. Rock music played not too loudly in the background as we were served and as we looked at the menu. The menu is digital. I hate this. Maybe they had a physical menu, but we didn't ask. We grumbled amongst ourselves and scanned the QR code and used our phones. It might seem like a small thing, but I really, really hate using my own phone to look at a restaurant's menu while at sitting at the restaurant. Anyways, I digress. For drinks, we got the chai latte (with oat milk) and coffee. We ordered the Special Eggs Benedict (half portion, for one person) and the shakshuska. The coffee was good. I appreciate the attentiveness of our server and that they came to refill the coffee. I really like the chai latte and glad that they listed which one it is (Rishi Masala Chai). The egg benedict has a really thick homemade bacon. It is soft and falls apart readily, but was a tad too salty. The bread was a bit tough and too thick for our liking (maybe we should have read the description more carefully oops, because when they say thick they meant thick). The fries were tasty. There was just one egg for a $26 benedict. The shakshuka was my first time trying shakshuka! To me, it tastes pretty similar to chili. I really enjoyed its tangy tomato and spicy flavors. There were two eggs in it. Honestly, I think it would be better with like four eggs. Now, the garlic bread: the garlic bread was so good, so garlicky. The garlic bread was both of our favorite. Overall, good vibes and good food and good customer service.

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!

Ted's is an iconic established by the Famous "PC lounge" a typical Watering Hole. It morphed into a myriad of Jazz Clubs then settled back to a Classic Pub, with the Exception of Ted's being an Amazing Diamond in the Rough as a "Great Eat's" establishment. Their Kitchen Menu both for Lunch and Dinner in my Culinary opinion, as a whole it is Exceptionally divided up apps, Salads, Base Sandwiches, Burgers and Entree's! Vanessa, a stalwart there is always quick to engage with every Customer, Regular or New Comer. Shes attentive and always ebullient! LoL My meal albeit simple was On Point and Hit all the Gustatory marks! The Baked Cod was perfect( just look at the picture! Perfect Tender and flaky, the roasted potatoes were almost caramelized on the Underside and those carrots are The Bomb! You like Garlic then, watch out the Caesar salad is Cold and crisp Romaine leaves and a Hearty perfect viscosity Dressing. Can I get anymore descriptive... Oh and The Burgers are incredible( grind their own beef) and the Stuffie's are Hot and loaded up with their filling! Give it a shot

Ted's is a great local bar and restaurant. The dining area is separate from the bar, and both are…read morereally nice. The bar has lots of seats and the dining room has around 10 tables. Food is cooked fresh to order - they make everything in house and I've been told that they don't even have a microwave in the kitchen. That being said, plan to wait a while for your food, especially when it is busy on the weekends. In my opinion, fresh is worth the wait, but sometimes, the wait is really, really long. Service is good - usually friendly and efficient. The last time I was there I felt like the server was overwhelmed, but it was a really busy Saturday night with lots of food orders as well as a full bar. Ted's is a decent place to eat or drink at in Cranston.

We were going to the Comedy Connection and got there early. We stopped here which is next door…read more This visit we just went for drinks. Inside was nice with a large bar, high top tables and then some lounge chair seating. When I went to the bathroom, I discovered they had an outside patio with table and chairs. We ended up sitting out here and enjoyed it. The drinks were good but my favorite part was they have games to use while at the establishment. We chose the hook and ring toss game but they had cards and I think chess too. We did not have food on this visit but would come back to try it. It is a good place to go before or after going to the Comedy Connection.

First time here. A date night with my wife. I read the recent reviews. It was good enough for…read moremost of them - 4 on the average to commit coming here. There were a few 1s and 3s, and if you dig deep, they were not reliable reviews. Anyways, if you come here knowing that it is a bar and lounge with limited menu for food, but good selection of canned and draft beer, plus full bar, then you will be happy. We had the nachos with BBQ pulled bork, and lemon pepper dry rub wings. The rating for these are solid 4, not like the 3s some folks left. The only thing that prevents them from attaining 5 is the attention to details and care that it takes to make them true 5 stars. But again, this a a bar and lounge. I think it would not matter much if come here later in the evening, after you have been to dinner elsewhere, and want to hang out with your friends with late night snack and drinks. I thought the service was friendly but a bit relaxed, but again, if you come here to chill, being the "relaxed" atmosphere will not upset you. If you want a speedy and attentive service, this place is not it. We did enjoy the vibe though. Probably a good place to come before or after the show at Comedy Connection next door.

It's a place tucked into a strip off Atwood ave with an open floor plan. Theres a bar along one end of the room with stools and a fair amount of low top tables for hanging out. I of course dove right into the menu - it consists mostly of "bar foods" so if you're looking for fancy, go elsewhere. If you're looking for good solid bar food options, you've found your place. Everything from fries to burgers to chicken sandwiches to wings. With a lot in between. I got the pretzel bites and 12 honey BBQ wings. The pretzels were YUM! Perfectly salted, warm and served with a stone ground honey pub mustard. The wings are not breaded, with I like. (The tenders are breaded fyi). They bake them, fry them then sauce them so they're super tender. Frankly I want to try all the sauces!!! I got the "everyone likes" version this time so I could share. Next time I'll go for heat and do buffalo. They have 4 tiers, mild, medium, hot and el diablo. Oh baby. I don't think I'm that adventurous.... Yet. The waitress was super nice and accommodating. It was trivia night and very busy, she handled the WHOLE place with drinks and food. Hats off to her for sure. She handled it with a smile, grace and wonderful attitude. A few others got nachos, beef chili and a friend chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Each said they were very good. All in all this place has my business for take out wings going forward and the Wednesday trivia. Thanks Coop, nicely done. CHEERS!

Thank you fellow Yelpers to letting me know about the parking lot off of Fiore street! Otherwise,…read moreit's such a sketch area so you'll feel great knowing your car is in this very enclosed (and super tight) parking lot. I went on a Thursday evening and it was not busy at all. We chose to sit outside on the patio, which was mostly fine. There were a few pesky flies and lots of sirens, but it wasn't a terrible experience out there. I ordered a lemon cheesecake martini, which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! I later ordered the chocolate covered strawberry martini which was also very good. I think these are seasonal, so get it while it lasts! Oh, and I tried a sip of the espresso martini and I thought it was great, and usually I don't like those. For food, I ordered the fig and prosciutto pizza. Wow! When they brought it out we were shocked, it was huge! And it was a deep dish pizza, which was a pleasant surprise. It was delicious. A lot of menu options sounded great though. Afterward, we wanted to check out their speakeasy but it was closed. I'm assuming that's a weekend feature. We sat at the bar instead, and the nighttime ambiance and inside decor was trendy and pleasant. They also had one bathroom (at least that I saw) which was also well decorated and clean. This is a pretty nice spot overall for a night out with friends or for a date. They even followed up with an email since we made a reservation. Check it out!
