Wow, so I decide to try something new for Sunday lunch and end up at TROOP Pvd. Oh boy what a mistake that was folks. First off it's Sunday funday and Frank wants a good morning world BLOODY MARY just get his body moving and guess what " No FU***NG bloody Mary's can you believe it? Strike One Then Strike Two they ran out of Chicken.... Strike Three was the Pork Belly it's basically all fat so Franks grumpy and still hungry for a real meal to dine on..
Troop PVD has been on my list for a long time so I was super excited when I went on Thursday morning. Brunch is on Thursday & Friday 10am-4pm and Saturday & Sunday 9am-4pm. It was still early so only 1 other table was occupied, but while we were there more people started to come in. Troop PVD has outside and inside seating. It is very spacious inside and there are murals and sign language on the walls, cool decor like boomboxes, and the bar seats had mini skateboards as backs. The menu can be accessed by scanning the QR code. Our server, Dan, was very friendly and informed us what items they had run out of. I ordered the fall sangria and the banh mi sandwich. The sandwiches are served with fries or homies (home fries). The fall sangria was made of red wine, apple brandy, bourbon, triple sec, orange, cranberry, lemon, and lime. It definitely tasted like fall in a cup. The banh mi had braised pork belly, pate, cilantro, carrots, daikon, jalapeños, and spicy mayo. The bread for the banh mi was crispy and fresh. The braised pork belly was packed with flavor and overall the whole banh mi was very yummy. The fries were very crispy. My husband ordered the boozy coffee milk where you can choose your base spirit and milk. He asked Dan what base spirit he recommends and he chose Smirnoff Vanilla. The boozy coffee milk was very creamy. For entree, he had that chicken sandwich. It was a tall stacked sandwich with buttermilk marinated fried chicken, bacon, sriracha, maple jam, red onion, arugula on a cheddar biscuit. It was very yummy too. I am so glad I had the opportunity to check out Troop PVD. Definitely worth checking out for brunch.
On Thursday night, it was a bright and shining culmination and reflection of the meticulous planning of the vision that our Queen, Rayinis Rivera Reynoso had from the Breast Cancer Fundraiser and Networking event! Her business, Elevate Society is her philosophy that joining together people from all walks of life from various backgrounds- professions, socioeconomic status, age and skillsets, it makes us all learn something new and valuable from other people there we just met, perfect strangers! We all wore black in solidarity. Our night together was celebrated with icebreakers, speeches given to share our glorious and inspirational life stories to overcome barriers that life throws our way which reminds us all that we are all precious and worthy in God's sight, a large group Champagne toast, raffle prizes awarded, music performed by both a DJ and saxophone player, a digital Photo Booth, and last but certainly not least a scrumptious buffet-style dinner of bar menu classics including: Tempura shrimp , chicken and beef tacos with assorted toppings, and Calamari ! We can't wait to see what new experiences and parties/fundraisers the near future has in store for us!
Went for brunch for a friend's birthday & was pleasantly surprised with the portion size! The home fries were seasoned to perfection & the biscuit was delicious however the chicken itself was raw & bleeding so I had to send it back & just couldn't stomach trying a fresh dish so I opted for just a side of home fries again. The server was wonderful & offered to make things right without even hesitating, service was great & would consider trying again but just a different dish all together. The small bite of chicken I did have before lacked flavor & seasoning.
A great brunch spot! I was here with a large group for an event, so we had a set menu to choose from. I got the classic breakfast, which was delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the sausage, so I would try the bacon next time instead. Whatever you do, make sure you get a cheddar biscuit. They were amazing. We also had some French toast, which was delicious. The service was impeccable, especially for a large group. They were attentive, friendly, always made sure everyone's drinks were full, and were super accommodating for allergies. Huge kudos to the staff for handling a large group so seamlessly.
NOT a good spot for vegan or vegetarians. This spot has cool art work and eclectic atmosphere. The staff (Dan) was very helpful in seating my group, but not much else to be desired. I asked about substituting an item and was told I can remove items but can't add items. I then ordered the veggie taco with no mushrooms. I was then told can't remove the mushrooms because it's "the star" of the dish. I responded that I can't eat mushrooms and was told the chef takes pride in his dishes. It's a taco!!! And apparently the recipe was more important than feeding a paying customer. Also a complete contradicted to what I was told. So I ordered fries. What could have been a $50 tab including drinks became $6. Also, the food my group received was completely bland. The fried chicken was bland with a paprika or allspice taste assuming was in the flour, but no flavor in the meat. They need to change the oil because it smelled up the place and got into our clothes. I will not patron there again.
Great Vibes, Great Food, and Bingo Fun! Came here after seeing they were hosting a bingo night--such a great decision! The place is huge with vibrant, eye-catching artwork everywhere. The energy was amazing, and the music kept the good vibes going all night. I had the shrimp salad and a cocktail--both were super tasty. Shoutout to my server, Sola (hope I spelled that right!), who was super friendly, funny, and really attentive. The atmosphere is chill, colorful, and the outdoor patio is a great touch. Whether you're looking to eat, drink, vibe to music, or just hang out--this spot has it all. Definitely coming back soon!
Absolutely loved this spot which i would describe as an experience. Went for brunch. Service was fantastic. Food offerings not just large but flavorful. And parking, there's free parking across the street. Drinks were fabulous. What more could someone want on a Sunday Funday.
Troop is a cute and eclectic restaurant and menu always changing up. Good amount of parking in a lot plus some street parking. Went with a group, no reservations; the place only had 3-4 fulled tables with a lot of free tables. When we checked in the waiter told us "i will have to check" when we asked for a table for 7...seemed weird with all the free tables. He sat us 5 minutes later. Everyone ordered drinks and took some time to look over menu. Waiter was very patient; some people took a long time and one complained on salty foot but waiter stayed patient. I ordered a slushy drink called pain killer and an order of wings; both were good. Most of the table liked their food except one who sent hers back for being too salty.
This place was recommended to my son and it did not disappoint. The service from Daniel was outstanding. The ambiance of the place is a total VIBE. The food was amazing. My only regret is that I leave tomorrow and can't go back tomorrow but I will be back.
Troop was a great find, good music the food was tasty I had a juicy burger and tried some apps which were all pretty good. The drinks were great tasting and strong and the service was spot on. There's this hip hop vibe to the place although it looks like a big hang out spot for soccer fans, there was a soccer game playing and a bunch of jerseys hanging up. Overall I would go here again, it's chill nothing too over the top from my one experience but pretty solid all around.
Went this past weekend for my besties birthday brunch. Reservation was at 11 and I was on time. As I wait for my friend I told the host it was her birthday and if they did anything special. She said she would check but never heard anything about it again. I get seated and we already had water there. Very nice. Someone came and took my drink order. Okay, promising. Someone who I thought was our waitress took our food order. Birthday girl order regular Egg and Bacon breakfast with 1 slice of French Toast. I ordered a Chorizo Omelet and a side of Bacon and Sausage as well as an English Muffin toasted with butter to share. We were so busy catching up we did not notice how much time had passed. it was about 11:45 by now. Now we notice. Our waitress never came back. But someone else was sent to check on us. We ordered more drinks. Food came at 12:20. Here are my issues with this place. And before I go on just want to state we kept it professional and never got angry or belligerent with anyone. 1. Waited way too long for food. No one came and tole us they were short staffed because had they done that we would not have been so upset. 2. Food comes and it is not even hot. 3. Cheese in Omelet was not melted and where is the Chorizo? 4. Birthday girl never got her French Toast. We knew they forgot it because it took too long to bring it back. by the time they did she passed and said she did not want it anymore. 5. Asked for a box. We told the next lady to visit us (I think we had a total of 4 different people and we still did not know who our waitress was) the issues and she tried to be nice and told us how busy it was. it was not that busy but the issue is they only had 1 cook. A second one did arrive but the damage was done. Then a gentleman comes over and asks us our problems and we told him. He asked if he could get us anything because of the wait. We said no thank you. He then said well I will take some items off because of what happened. I asked if he was the Manager and he wasn't but never said who he was. He walked away and we thought the gesture was nice. He comes back and said the whole thing was on him. We said thank you and he cleared our table. We had decided that maybe a tip for our waitress would be nice but she never came over....and we still never knew who she was. The food is really about what you like. I was excited to see what I knew were house made sausages but they tasted like meatloaf. My opinion. Also my opinion is that nothing really had any flavor and the famous cheddar biscuits tasted like flour. Best thing on the plate was the bacon. Now that was good! I won't be going back there because it was a little too many mishaps and on my friends special day even though I appreciated the young mans gesture. I was so excited to finally go to Troop because I had never been and always wanted to go and looked forward to a good time. Pretty sad!
Woah- such a surprise find while visiting Providence!!! Living in NYC has made me such a food snob but I love when I find amazing local spots in different cities! Troop is a Black owned street food themed restaurant. The inside of the building itself is covered with amazing graffiti art, unique seating, and other fixtures and the menu consists of delicious street foods from around the world. Was dining solo and ended up eating at the bar. I arrived around 6 and the restaurant was about halfway full at that point and progressively got more full throughout my visit. If you're dining with a larger party I highly suggest a resy, just to be safe! The bartender who served me was so helpful and he gave me plenty of recs to try. In fact, I literally ordered everything he recommended ha. To start I ordered the Uruguayan chorizo meatballs and they were SO flavorful. The bartender let me know that the chef is from Uruguay and the love oozing out of this dish was apparent. Then I ordered the Banh mi which comes with pork belly as the primary protein. The pork belly was juicy and tender and full of flavor. The Banh mi came with a mountain of fries that were piping hot and crispy. For drinks I ended up sipping on the Smoke n' Flowers- a cocktail made with mezcal, tequila, hibiscus, and raspberry. Absolutely delicious and so well balanced. I truly cannot say anything bad about my experience here. A must try when you're in the PVD :) read more

A little loud but fun food! Great staff, nice brunch scene. Mostly fried food but well made. Fried marinated tomatoes were nice as were the cheddar biscuits - very sharable. Sandwiches were generous and fun to eat. Most came with either fries or other types of fried potatoes. read more
Really nice aesthetic and ambiance. I like the vibe. I had a drink which was really good. Service was decent. I was a bit confused with saying it's black owned however almost all of the staff and customers did not reflect this. I'd give it another try and try the food read more

Troop PVD always delivers - awesome food, super friendly service, great vibes. My last time there I ordered a squash dish with pork belly. So satisfying and delicious. My kiddo had the burger and it was top notch. Also appreciate the hours - Troop serves food for more of the day than other restaurants. Brunch is on point. There's also a fun bingo night - currently every third Wednesday each month. DJs, drinks, and prizes. Check it out and get ready for a full belly and good energy. read more

Absolutely amazing . Great vibes as soon as we walked in - the wall art is SO unique and awesome and the music was great. I loved the dim and colorful lighting and the ambience. The seating is also so cool - there are regular tables as well as booths but also areas to chill and enjoy a meal or drink like swing chairs and the bar seemed super dope too. I ordered the Banh Mi and it was delicious - really great portion size too (I took half home and was stuffed!). My boyfriend ordered the Bifana and he thought it was super tasty as well. The fries were also different and so yummy! Will definitely be back to check out brunch soon! read more

It's been two years since I've visited Troop -- first for dinner and now for brunch! This time, I ordered their corned beef hash -- including a grilled baguette with herbed duck butter, homemade hash, and eggs. The extra additions paired well with the dish. Pretty filling. My friend ordered the stack of three cinnamon french toast with strawberry compote. Also, there was a good portion that could even be shareable. I was satisfied with the meal but thought the service was slow, and it wasn't busy at the restaurant that day. The conclusion is that the food is good, but the service is hit or miss. read more
Got there at 5pm on a weekday and we were just about the only ones there...they open at 5. Got seated promptly by the open kitchen and were told to scan the QR code for the menu. I decided on the Banh Mi, my husband got the street noodles and a friend got the cheeseburger. The service was very friendly and nice, but the food took over 30 min to arrive at our table, in the meantime we had some nice conversations over the very LOUD music that was blasting all over the place...very loud.... The Banh Mi was good side. Lots of flavors the blend of braised pork belly, pate, cilantro. carrots & daikon. jalapeños. spicy mayo. french fries was really good....I liked my dish. The street noodles were very saucy, very salty, overwhelming flavor...too much for my taste. It was a large bowl with rice noodles. mixed veggies. cilantro. pickled red onion. carrot & daikon. street sauce. My husband got the fried chicken, our friend MaryAnn got the shrimp. Our friend Paul picked the cheeseburger and he was happy with it. Overall an average culinary experience. Not a place I would rush back....the loud music and the over seasoned noodles were not my cup of tea. read more

The menu is as eclectic as the space. The art is everywhere and is out of this world. The music always fits the vibe. Come by with friends or all by yourself (like I did) - its all good. Tonight I enjoyed their beef stroganoff and a glass or red wine. A very large portion. I know what I am having for lunch tomorrow! read more
Great food, decent atmosphere. I've gone twice now, once with a large group (8) seated outside and once with just two of us sitting at the bar. Both times the food and drinks were incredible, service was great. With the large group Meg took excellent care of us, and while checking in enough she also made some great suggestions to spice up our orders, ice cream on the French toast is a MUST! It is a bit on the louder side, so just be aware of that if you're noise sensitive. I adjusted, and when we were outside it was nice. read more

What an amazing place! Cool, rather super cool vibe! Dan was our server. From the get go, he was sweet and gave us good information on menu and their specials. Happily acted on our request to customize drinks or food (hubby wanted jalapeños added to the omelette too). Since he figured we like it hot, he brought some habanero sauce for us to try and it was yum (with some apricots in it). Crab cake itself was tender and fresh. Green sauce was super delicious. Much better improvement on just the regular hollandaise sauce. Omelette was genuinely the best. So well layered and mixed with veggies. Their biscuit was so flaky and yum .. it had cheddar in it and that made things more delicious. We would love to give this place another try when we are back in the area. read more

Thank you Melissa!
Just over the state line was this beautiful brunch spot @trooppvd with its lovely decor. Friendly workers that were very knowledgeable of their menu. So we started off with the special. A Japanese Okonomiyaki pancake with pork belly & fresh veggies & egg. So unique & delicious. To the fluffy sweet pancakes with homemade whip cream with local syrup. But the stars were the warm cheddar biscuits with chorizo gravy. So let me tell you about that chicken biscuit sandwich with arugula, bacon jam sriracha. That was so juicy plump & dripping with flavor. Fresh ingredients to fresh cut fries. So worth the trip from CT to RI.. read more

I love Troop! It's near me, so I have gone a bunch of times. They have tons of parking and their atmosphere is super cool. The drinks are normal priced, maybe on the little more expensive end but I always get top shelf for alcohol. Their brunch is amazing, and one of the best I have had in providence. It's definitely between Troop and Julian's for the best brunch in PVD. They have champagne bottles that you can get and a couple of different juices. They offer the champagne at all times, not just brunch. It turns into a bar/club at night. The staff is amazing and super nice! read more

I love this place, the vibe, the food, and the cocktails. I've been here a half dozen times now and I have to say, this is the best restaurant in Providence Let's start with the vibe, it's hipster/hip hop/graffiti/chic. There is Great Wall art everywhere. It's fun just to look around at all the stuff. The music when I went was a mix of new and old school hip hop. They have a small menu but everything is outstanding. The chicken nuggets are probably the best I've even had. I've been for brunch as well and the fried chicken sandwich on a cheddar biscuit... *chefs kiss* read more

DE. LI. CIOUSSSSS. Went on a Sunday with some friends and the brunch was out of this world. We all had the specials, this was the Chicharrón special w beans, yuca fries and home fries. It was absolute perfection. Would 100% recommend -- can't wait to go back in a few weeks!! read more
Good place for brunch. Love their alto ego cocktail. Not too spicy and perfectly balanced with the passion fruit. For food, I got the fried chicken sandwich and key lime French toast. The French toast was excellent, was almost like a dessert pudding. Chicken sandwich is good although I'm not a fan of the jam. Fries were quite good. Overall good experience. read more
What a vibe!! I would give more than 5 stars if i could! - staff was super friendly, patient, and fun! Never in a rush, yet always checking in. Great suggestions for portions. We got the biscuits which were seriously amazing - try them! We got mimosas! I had the cardamom pancakes. They were perfect - grapefruit marmalade, whipped cream and honey butter, so good! I wouldn't normally put pancakes in a to go home box, but definitely did! It was loud inside and fun. Murals! Staff offered to help us take photos for a birthday. Disco ball! I will absolutely be back! ... oh and a parking lot! Which was such a bonus! read more

This could have easily been 5 stars but the service brought it down one. The server seemed anxious to take plates off of the table, and we were not even finished. The key lime French toast was ok. The burger was pretty tasty and the fries were good as well. read more
What a fun spot. The energy in the place is exciting and there's so much to look at. went in on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and it was pretty quiet. By the end of our meal the place was packed. I ordered "that chicken sandwich" and it was delicious. the staff was so friendly and food came out quickly. I will absolutely be back! disclaimer- very loud. fun music but felt like i was hollering. read more

WOWOWOWOW!This place is amazinggggg! The food, the ambiance, the music, did I mention THE FOOD?! My husband wanted to spend his birthday in RI with his friends so we set up a birthday brunch here at Troop. Our party had 14 people which we had a bit of trouble accommodating in their small space BUT thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day and we were able to sit outside in their patio seating area. We filled up 3 tables with our party. We all decided to order their personal mimosa package which came with your own bottle of champagne and your choice of juice (orange, passion fruit, cranberry and peach). Passion fruit was my favorite! When the food came out we were all in heaven. I think this place has THE BEST home fries I have EVER had! No exaggeration! Everyone was over the moon with their food, drinks and service. The only think I would complain about is that they charge $1 for each sauce that you request. We ended up spending a whole $10 just for sauces! (Tip: Their hot sauce really isn't your typical hot sauce. Definitely ask for only one for the whole table to taste before you order more!) Overall, I am in LOVE with this place and I can not wait to visit again! read more

I'm always trying to find new spots to check out while traveling, and this is hands down my favorite I've seen in a while. Music is all hip hop and R&B, the decor is awesome, and the food and drinks were on point. Everyone was friendly and the staff clearly work together and care about each other. They even put Bluey on the TV for a young child who was there! They do brunch Friday through Sunday and it was phenomenal. read more
