After reading the stellar reviews, we decided to try CHOMP Kitchen and Drinks on Mother's Day…read more Since it was late, we ordered dinner to go. We both ordered the Classic Smash Burger, one with cheese and one without. Unfortunately, both burgers were utterly tasteless, with virtually no seasoning detected at all. The Chomp Sauce that was supposed to elevate the burger was so sparse it barely made an appearance, leaving the burgers bland. Honestly, the bun was the best part. The brussel sprouts I ordered also lacked flavor and seasoning aside from the char, and his Cajun fries were so salty they were nearly inedible. After driving from Massachusetts to Rhode Island as a special Mother's Day treat, it ended up being a very disappointing experience, especially given the overwhelmingly positive reviews. We may have caught them on an unusually busy night, but unfortunately our meals fell far short of our expectations.

This review is for Moving Dough Pizza. I have not had the opportunity to visit the restaurant…read moreitself yet, but I hope to try it soon. The pizza is prepared in a food trailer behind the restaurant. Hence the name, "Moving Dough." Parking is tight, so I suggest parking on Waterman Avenue and walking around to the back of the restaurant, where the trailer is located. I went with a simple cheese pizza and a pepperoni, pepper, and olive pie, both of which were excellent. Both were cooked perfectly, crisp but not burnt. Considering the quality of the pies and add-ons, the price was very fair. I'm eager to try the restaurant.

They also have benches outside on a covered patio Service: friendly, semi attentive, it was busy Parking: street & VERY limited. There are maybe 4 spots off street Food: ranch is so good, wings were okay, couldn't really taste the lemon though. Liked the Mya pizza, decent size, fig was good.

Arrived shortly…read moreafter 11, was told they were serving breakfast but would be happy to start the burgers a little early. This place is awesome! Menu is small but the burgers are delicious. Added salt potatoes instead of fries and they were a new favorite. The whole meal was fantastic! I know your reading my review and saying to yourself a burger is a burger, how good can it be? If you don't go, you will never understand!! A few things- this is in a neighborhood. Parking is very tight. Grab whatever you can close by. Also not much seating, it is a small place. We arrived a little after 11 by 11:30 on a Saturday there was a line and seats were tough to find! Yes, there are challenges but don't miss this place!!

The regular steak fries were delicious love their homemade seasoning. The CNY potatoes just weren't it for us, there was a group of 4 and no one really cared for them, but if pepperoncini flavor is your thing go for it. The chicken sandwich was okay didn't have much flavor too it sadly. Atmosphere of track 15 is great and the girl at the counter was kind and friendly to us as well.

Holy smokes the unicorn came in screaming while I was enjoying a few beers at the bar. I was…read morestarving until I ordered some wings and pizza and it came out hot n ready. First came the wings, wet and flavorful to the max with an extra dilly ranch and real bacon crumbles. Then came the cupped pepperoni pizza on a wheat crust, greasy but not more than you would like to be. In previous visits I have had the BLT and mushroom banh mi to which I also cannot rave enough about. Get out of your house and grab a beer at Buttonwoods and food at Screaming Unicorn so you know what it's like to live a life full of hops and flavor!

It's been a while since I've dropped in around here, first time here since Buttonwoods took over…read moreand screaming unicorn was manning the food. RI food fights brought me in and you don't get access to the whole sandwich menu here, unfortunately you have to pick between their "Mushroom Bahn MI" and their "Screaming BLT". I went with the BLT since I wasn't feeling the vegan option. The description was "chili-hoisin glazed bacon | sliced tomato baby greens tomato jam | dill pickle pickled red onion chipotle aioli toasty thick-sliced white bread". Honestly, it was underwhelming. It had some tasty components but it was pretty average. The bacon was terribly weak. It was probably frozen precooked bacon that is heated and brushed with a hoisen glaze. I was hoping for some thick cut glazed almost candied bacon. Their avg. sandwich was around $16-17. If paying for that, I'd be left pretty disappointed. On top of that, it probably took around 35-40 minutes to get the sandwich. Again, pretty okay sandwich, the pickled onion, tomato jam and Chipotle aioli elevated things, but it's in vain with the bacon they use. Their other sandwiches sound good, so it's possible I'll visit to try them out at some point but can't see myself running back here after my impression with this BLT.

I ordered a pear drink which was DELICIOUS, and we got several apps to pick on. We also decided on a Mac pizza, which was not my favorite. It had pizza sauce under the toppings which made it a little too busy. Service was excellent! Imagine our delight when we saw the 1/2 price app signage! Walls are refreshed and establishment looks clean, neat and crisp. Always a favorite. Love Mack's!

The bun held up (which I appreciate), and the fries were hot and crispy with a solid portion. The chicken tenders were probably my favorite part. Super crispy on the outside and actually juicy inside -- not dry at all. The sauces were good and they give you plenty of food. Overall just a solid, no-frills pub meal. Nothing fancy, just good comfort food. I'd definitely go back.

We've been to Rosa's twice now with RI Food Fights. First time was for the Sandwich Showdown. The…read morechicken parm was good, the fries were good, but walking in felt like crashing someone else's family reunion. If you're from the neighborhood, or you're Portuguese, you're golden. If you're not, you kind of feel it. This time was different. The service was welcoming. Helpful. Like they were actually happy to see us there. Rosa's does Portuguese and Italian with what they call a modern twist. Family owned by local townies on Waterman Ave in East Providence. Small room, black chairs, ceiling fans spinning, TVs on the walls. Not fancy. Not trying to be. For Lord of the Pies, they offer four flatbread-style pizzas. We got the margherita and the meatball. The meatball was the easy winner. Good sauce, well-seasoned meatballs sliced thick, cheese that did its job, and a flatbread crust that hit all the right notes. Crispy. Chewy. Flavor in the bread itself, which is rarer than it should be. Everything worked together. This was a nice little pie. The margherita missed. Bright red sauce, fresh mozz slices, but someone back there buried it under dried basil. You couldn't taste anything else. And they stacked the slices on top of each other when they brought them out. The cheese stuck to the pieces on top and got carried right off the ones underneath. Who does that? Fresh mozz doesn't survive stacking. Basic physics. The flatbreads fit the menu. Rosa's is a Portuguese and Italian spot doing things their own way. The meatball flatbread could hold its own against their steaks and Mozambique dishes. Skip the margherita, though, or ask them to go easy on the basil and plate it flat. The vibe was much better this time. Maybe it was the server. Maybe it was us with a camera crew. Either way, it felt more like the family they promised us on their website. Definitely come see for yourself.

I was out and about for an appointment nearby, and my fiancé mentioned going here when they were a…read morelittle younger. I figured I'd go pick up an order and take it home. The parking lot can be hard to get out of at prime time for traffic, but there is a decent amount of parking as it seems most people were just picking up and leaving. There is some seating inside though! The staff at the counter were SO friendly! It's refreshing to recieve good customer service these days. We got the family meal deal which comes with 4 fully customizable roast beef sandwiches and 2 large fries or onion rings (onion rings have a $2 up charge) for 29.99 which for the size of the sandwiches and fries it is definitely worth it. We also got two sides of pickles, and a bottle of their BBQ sauce to try. The pickles are your average deli style pickle slices. The BBQ sauce is the best mix of sweet and tangy, with a little bit of spice. Everything even after a half hour drive was hot and fresh tasting. We will definitely be back for more!

The girl working the counter was very friendly and welcoming, which made for a pleasant first…read moreimpression. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to that experience. I can only speak to the corned beef Reuben, but I found it a bit underwhelming. It seemed light on both the meat and the coleslaw. The cheese was nicely melted, which was a plus, but there just wasn't enough slaw to really bring the sandwich together. In hindsight, maybe I should have tried the roast beef instead. As for value, the prices felt a bit on the higher side, especially since everything appeared to be à la carte. I didn't notice any combo meals available.

Stopped in for lunch during the week. They have a small parking area next to the building that will…read morehold about a dozen vehicles. Otherwise it's free, on-street parking in the surrounding neighborhood or main road. The 'pull' door (not automatic) is at ground level and once in the vestibule, there is a ramp up into the restaurant and steps up into the bar area. We sat at a high top in the bar area. Two dining rooms have wooden tables and chairs, mostly in a four-top size. The bar area has a high, vaulted ceiling and the two ceiling fans are a large baseball in a glove. Cute. Walls are real wood paneled on the bottom 2/3 and painted cream at the top 1/3 with dark wood floors. Everything looked nice and clean and cozy. High-tops in the bar area each had bag hooks under the table top which I love. Our waitress was the bartender. The bar was about half full and there were maybe two other tables in the restaurant. She brought over place mats, flatware and menu's and took our drink order. The menu is large and includes sandwiches, burgers, steaks, apps, soups and salads, plus. It's pretty big. We had a good amount of time to review all the menu options, plus the 'specials' menu she left with us. We both chose steak based entrées. A table top sign lists some seasonal adult beverages available and the menu includes other bar selections. Food was brought out by a kitchen employee. I think it may have been the cook/chef. It took a while for the food to come out of the kitchen and I suspect it's bare bones staff during the week. They were very friendly and asked if we needed anything else. The waitress also stopped by after several minutes to check in with us. The steak was tender however those knives need to be replaced. Because it was hard to cut, I thought the steak would be 'tough', but it was very nice. The fries are excellent. I did enjoy those. Mashed potatoes appear to be 'real' (not reconstituted flakes). My steak was a bit undercooked but I only ate about half. I concentrated on cutting the outer bits which left the center a perfect temp for reheating at home. It heated up quite well and was still tender. So in the end, it worked in my favor. Although I'm not sure how they fry the egg on top of the Portuguese steak, it was fluffy and had a nice soft yolk. (I could have sent the steak back to be re-fired if I was unhappy, but knew I'd probably not eat it all, so again, it worked in my favor) Gendered restrooms are off the bar area. Ladies has two small stalls with no gaps at the edges. Thumbs up for that. Men's room has a stall and a urinal (I asked, didn't look). Not sure about another comment on here regarding 'no lock' on the men's room. The stall has a lock. If you need privacy, use that. Each restroom is too small for a changing table. I asked about the parking situation as the lot is not big enough to accommodate all the tables and after talking about on-street parking options was told on the weekends (Friday - Sunday) it's a full house. So do plan some time to find parking. I'm not sure they take reservations though and the vestibule has only one seat that I noticed for waiting. Food quality is good. Service is friendly. Full bar. Big menu. Clean restrooms. Only the parking situation is possibly problematic and that's really a state of mind. Desfrute da sua refeição!

Red Bridge Tavern drew me in for Portuguese owned and inspired cuisine. I will say that it is a…read morenice local place. But I think I will leave it for the locals. When I walked in, the bartendress was very nice and helpful. She refilled my water bottle, talked through beers, and changed the TV to the bowl game I requested, despite a lot of back and forth on New Year's Eve. While I was at the bar I looked over at the guy next to me and his steak was amazingly perfectly pink throughout. People around me sounded very happy with the size and flavor of their drinks, but as far as beer goes there is a limited tap, all on the lighter side despite 15-16 openings. So the bar is great. Stay at the bar. Finally my friend arrived and we went for a table. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. First, I discovered that the only restrooms in the building are tiny, meant for one person but not a locking door. I ordered clam chowdah, cod fish cakes, and the obligatory stuffie, all at the same time (same for my friend, no appetizer). All in all, it took nearly an hour for the chowder to come out, and the place was far from packed, with a few but not overwhelmingly many to-go orders. Finally, the chowder came out. Waiting, waiting, tasted... another 5-10 minutes before the other food started trickling so I could finally eat while my friend did the same. Chowder: 2.5 stars. It looked thick and creamy, but it was overwhelmingly potato. I was hunting and there are a few clams, but it's not even soup. It's potato. Just too much. Cod fish cakes: 2.5 stars. Way too much breading. I tried and could not actually taste any fish. I'm sure it's in there somewhere, but minced to smithereens so you can't tell. Stuffie: 3 stars. Another place where it's mostly breading, but at least my notes say "decent amount" instead of "where's the clam?". My friend: He loved the chicken half of the chicken parm, said it was cooked perfectly, but left the noodles. Generic noodles, the sauce he said didn't taste store-bought but the tomatoes were definitely canned. And the kicker? They never brought us napkins. Verdict: A low 3 stars overall, and that's mainly for the bar side of things. Stick to drinks.

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.
