The fries were very good as well. Ketchup, salt, and malt vinegar were in the bag - which is a nice touch. Now they were listed as The Weiner Wagon on the Food Fights coupon but seem to be a part of the Classic Express Cafe. My attendant at the window was very friendly and I ate my meal on one of two picnic tables in the parking lot. The only downside - no drinks other than coffee milk - which is really taking the commitment to RI based foods to the next level but I would have loved a soda.

This was the biggest surprise so far on the RI Food Fights WeinerFest. Its an add on structure to…read morethe Cafe, they call the Wiener Wagon. Super nice and friendly people inside. The wiener was up there with the heavyweights that everyone talks about all the time, the NY System OGs, etc. Buns were soft and felt steamed. The Weiner has great flavor, texture and juiciness. The sauce, mustard and celery salt were all on point and in the proper ratios. Even the coffee melt, while in a bottle came from a local dairy and was made with cane sugar. Under the circumstances that's pretty good. We were surprised by the quality and execution. They have the classic wiener formula down. A couple of minor tweaks away from the OGs for the new kids on the block in Johnston. Well worth trying if you're in the neighborhood.

I stopped by here earlier today by myself for dinner. The inside was mostly empty when I arrived at…read more7 PM on a Monday, with 10 empty tables and 4 occupied ones, along with most of the bar area being empty. I will say that the decor was nice, with blues and whites that were reminiscent of the sea. The bar also had a large TV mounted above it with an aquarium scene playing. The lights also seemed to have an aqua theme and reminded me of bubbles rising through the ocean, although I thought the restaurant itself felt quite dim. For dinner on this evening, I decided to start with the fried calamari appetizer and then went with the Crudo Burger for my entree. The menu described the fried calamari as "tender calamari lightly fried and sautéed with tempura zucchini, banana peppers, and garlic butter." The Crudo Burger was described as an "8 oz house blend burger topped with lightly fried Brie, bacon pepper jam, roasted garlic aioli, and arugula on a buttery baked brioche, served with our signature fries." The calamari came out first and had great breading that was light and sort of shattered when I bit into it. I loved the banana peppers, but the calamari itself was rubbery. The zucchini was a fun addition that helped break up the flavors, and I wish there had been more of it. I also would have liked to taste more of the garlic butter. Once I finished that, my Crudo Burger came out, and between the burger and all the French fries, it was absolutely massive. On my first bite, I got hints of maple from the bacon jam. The burger itself was cooked nicely to a medium and had great flavor, while the bun was nicely toasted. My fries were good as well, seasoned nicely with some Parmesan and truffle flavor. Last but not least was the fried Brie in the middle of my burger. Honestly, it sort of put me over the top, and after eating it, I couldn't finish anything else. I ended up getting both the check and a to-go box for half of my burger and three-quarters of my fries. It's worth noting that my server was nice and enthusiastic throughout my time there. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While I felt that the calamari was overcooked, the burger and fries were delicious, and I thought the decor was tastefully done as well.

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.

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.

There was lots of parking available, but some of it is dedicated to the neighboring business so we parked a little further. The inside is big with lots of seating options, both high and low top. We wanted one of each drink from their fall menu but ultimately had to narrow it down to two: caramel apple butter cold brew and pumpkin horchata cortado (iced). The pumpkin horchata cortado just comes in one size and I think it was 12 oz. We got the caramel apple butter cold brew in a medium. We also ordered a corn muffin, buttered and toasted. While we waited, we secured high chairs along the wall facing the parking lot/ street. After a couple minutes, my name was called to collect my order. The pumpkin horchata cortado tasted darker than I expected, and I wish it had a stronger pumpkin flavor. The caramel apple butter cold brew was delicious and creamy. It did taste like apple pie a bit. In hindsight, I would've asked for it to be made less sweet, but that's just a preference thing. The corn muffin was tasty. It was warm, sweet, not dry, and had the signature grainy texture throughout. I think the total came out to about $16-$17 which is standard. The staff was friendly and answered my little questions about the drinks. I like that they open early and close late (for a coffee shop). I enjoyed the art on the walls, the plants, and the corny poems and signs.

The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

Nick's on Broadway was one of the highlights of our birthday celebration in Providence. We were looking for an upscale brunch with fresh oysters and exceptional food, and found much more: genuine hospitality from the moment we arrived. Two employees graciously held the door for us as we approached. That small act of kindness immediately set the tone for our visit and made us feel welcome before we even entered. We arrived around 10:40 on a Friday morning and, although the dining room was reserved, were offered seats at the kitchen counter. As an avid cook with food-service experience, I loved watching the chefs, sous chefs, and kitchen team work. Their skill, coordination, and attention to detail made brunch feel like dinner theater. As a Gulf War veteran, I especially appreciated being able to choose a seat at the end of the counter, where I had personal space, a clear view of my surroundings, and room to relax. I could enjoy the chefs at work, look out the window, and be fully present for my wife's birthday without needing to explain or request special consideration. Our server, Rebecca, was exceptional. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made us feel truly appreciated. After learning about the birthday, she helped make the occasion memorable and even offered to take photographs of us throughout the visit. The food was outstanding. We enjoyed a complimentary yogurt parfait with apples, banana, granola, mint, and honey, as well as complimentary champagne. The broiled oysters on the half shell were one of the most memorable parts of the meal--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Complimentary homemade sugar cookies with a birthday candle provided a wonderful finishing touch. What distinguished Nick's on Broadway was the combination of excellent food, an engaging open-kitchen atmosphere, and hospitality that felt sincere rather than routine. From the employees who welcomed us at the door, to Rebecca's thoughtful service, to the talented kitchen team, every detail reflected kindness and professionalism. Nick's on Broadway set the standard for a memorable birthday brunch. Thank you to Rebecca, the kitchen team, and the entire staff for making our celebration so special. We left feeling genuinely appreciated, wonderfully satisfied, and eager to return. Five stars, without hesitation. Highly recommended! As an Airforce Veteran, I have to say, they Aim High!
