Went here to celebrate my friend's birthday. I ordered the crab dip along with their lobster roll entrée. The food is tasty, and the fireplace seating is perfect for catching up with your friends.
My wife and I came to meet with a group, and we asked to have our bill separate. (The two of us) Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and we had to take extra time to figure out our bill. This didn't ruin our night but definitely something we're going to keep an eye out for next time.

What a great place for drinks and apps! Service was top notch. The drinks were great and the food was just as good. Atmosphere was extremely comfortable. Will definitely be back!!
Came here last night with my friend for some food and drinks and really enjoyed the experience. Cool spot, outdoor seating area was great, and the food didn't miss. Service was good but seemed a tiny bit disorganized- overall fantastic experience and will certainly be back.
Great, low key, laid back quaint spot. The Thursday night every 3rd-4th week is for the "GROWN UP AND SEXY" . BUT, IF I HEAR OF ANY NIGHT ID GO AND JUST A POP IN FOR A DRINK AND MEAL. THE SERVERS WERE JUST AS SEXY AS THE PATRONS
Needle and Thread is an absolute gem! From the moment you step into this speakeasy, you know you're in for a unique experience. The ambiance has that perfect blend of mystery and charm that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time.
One of the standout features of Needle and Thread is the bespoke cocktail experience. The bartenders, especially Alec, are exceptional. They take the time to get to know your preferences and craft cocktails with incredible attention to detail. Alec even takes notes to ensure each drink is perfectly tailored to your tastes. It’s this level of care and personalization that sets Needle and Thread apart from other bars.

reminiscent of a speakeasy. sunday night as a great way to end/begin the week. dj good. most perfect dark espresso martini ever. intended on One and swore to it, but it was so perfect, I tired it again before leaving the city.
A group of 10 of us crushed there for a drink before our dinner in town and I want to give kudos to Keyla, our bartender who was really prompt, did an awesome job on the accuracy of the drinks and although she had 2 other couples she was tending to, managed to get us out of there really in time for our dinner. She has a bright smile and her communication skills are amazing!
I will definitely be back!

I order the tiny tacos and my boyfriend the fettuccine with chicken…. Excellent. We just have a wonderful time. CJ at the bar is your man… he is awesome! We will be back soon
I loved this bar. When I first walked in I thought it was too dark, at least before sunset, but the outdoor space in the back was great! Shifted indoors later in the evening, & really enjoyed that too. The staff was lovely. The music was good too, which I rarely say. Would visit again.
Patio location was very beautiful, there were both tables and lounge couches customers had to choose from. Our server was very polite, however had to be corrected 3x on a drink order. Food came out in an efficient manner and we had no complaints. Only issue is that our table had ordered the birthday package (5 people, $80 total for a dessert and drink per person) yet the drinks we received were watered down ginger ale. Would have like to known this ahead of time, otherwise we would have not wasted the money.
Loved my service Angie, she had great energy. The food was great and came out on time. Love the whole vibe of the restaurant. Great place to celebrate good occasions.
5 Star experience!!! Our family came across the GPub and decided to give it a try.
What a great place!!! The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was absolutely delicious and nice portions. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun with plenty of games and activities to do with the family while you enjoy your meal.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. It is a true hidden gem downtown Providence.

This place has great food and the service is top notch. Was in here about a month ago for an early dinner and the bartender was a great conversationalist. Made the short wait for food even shorter. They have some of the best chili you can find and sesame ginger chicken salad is top notch.
Looking for a speakeasy with good drinks while in Providence for the weekend for my brother's wedding. I came across Needle & Thread and it did not disappoint! First off, I had a reservation for a party of 5. We were running late and when I called to inform them, they were super accommodating and sat us as soon as we arrived.
To sip, I had the Father's Old Fashioned which was a play on your standard old fashion with chocolate bitters and espresso. It was so good!
Needle & Thread was an unexpected vibe. They played mostly R&B, hip-hop and some Afrobeats. After 11, a DJ came through and it got packed pretty quickly. When in Providence again, this would definitely be a spot I'd come to again.

The food was great, the restaurant was nice, and the service was wonderful.
But this is 2024, and you're a pizza place that's open at 4pm on a weekend, and you don't have a baby changing table? A clean and safe place to care for a tiny human's bodily functions is not an unreasonable accommodation to ask for.
The shift manager apologized sincerely - and said this has been a common complaint for years. YEARS?
If the owners of this place truly don't want families with small children to visit their pizza restaurant, that message was received loud and clear.

It started off rocky , upon arrival they had us seated somewhere else than what I requested ( I had been in the night before to look at the where we would be seated ( I made these reservations 3 months beforehand) with that being said everything work out great . Ended up being seated at a great perfectly size round table .
Onto our waitress Sloane was absolutely wonderful ..she is what every restaurant needs . Very attentive professional and gracious.
I can not remember the girl who was shadowing but she was very pleasant also.
The host was also a very pleasant individual he had to deal with us not being very happy about our seats( though it wasn’t his fault ), again handled very professionally. Three outstanding employees that you definitely need to hang onto .
Our food was delicious everyone enjoyed it very much .We will be back !

Came here on a whim with some friends and was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend a reservation because it is small in there. We ended up sitting outdoors on the patio. It was chilly but this patio would be fantastic in the summer months! Our waiter was okay nothing to write home about he went MIA a few different times. Besides that the food was great the menu has a nice variety and unique dishes. I got the friend chicken sandwich which is open faced I would for sure get that again. Friends got the crunch wrap which looked fantastic and the chicken lollipops. As a group we got oysters that were very fresh. The drinks were fantastic and I recommend the El Diblito had a spice to it that was perfect. Overall I would come back and sit on the patio when the weather is nicer :)
First time here; Angie was an amazing waitress. She was super friendly, attentive to our group and we even got a champagne toast on the house for my birthday! She truly made the vibes amazing and made me feel special on my day. The food was awesome, management awesome, atmosphere awesome. Will definetly be returning!!!
We got delivery pizza after a long day of traveling to Providence. Never had coal fired pizza before. LIFE CHANGING! The Bianca is seriously one of the best pizzas I’ve ever put in my mouth. So damn good!
We had a fantastic experience. The food was great and the bartenders were very friendly and knowledgeable,made fantastic drinks. We had several dishes, including the tuna tacos, fettuccine, and short ribs, everything was delicious. Highly recommended.
Came here for brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday and I never been so disappointed in the service + food at a place before. They offer a brunch menu (with vegan options) and have coffee but have 0 dairy alternatives which I found strange that if you're going to 1. offer brunch and 2. have vegan options then maybe have oat / almond milk for the coffee? I ordered the vegan breakfast tacos while my friends ordered the regular breakfast tacos and they bring out ONLY the normal breakfast tacos and almost serve me meat/eggs. I had to wait another 20 minutes for them to make my tacos, which was surprising seeing as the vegan tacos were 90% JUST egg, a SPRINKLE of the impossible meat and a spoonful of gauc, why did this take so long to make? And why am I paying $13 for a lazy breakfast taco that I could have easily made at home that would have absolutely tasted better and more flavorful. Thank God that they had hot sauce on the table because oh man, did my sad tacos need it. And at the end of the brunch, the server disappeared and I had to walk up to the bar to ask for our check after we were all waiting (clearly done eating and ready to go) and then after getting the check, we all had to do they "let's stare at the bar and hope the bartender will notice to come get the check" look. Eventually the bartender saw and came to get our check so we could finally pay and leave. I'm a pretty patient person and have worked in good service before so I try not to be critical but wow, I am absolutely not coming here again for food and will be steering my vegan friends away from this place. The home fries were bomb though. That was the one positive of this experience.
bouncer at the front threatened to take my real ID away bc he thought it was fake & didn't let me or my friends in. it was a MA license lol maybe train ur staff better so they can be competent enough to tell the difference between a real and fake ID
We loved their pizza! The waiter was super nice and friendly. Their crust was 🤌 Definitely plan your dinner here if you are visiting Providence!
A basement bar in Providence RI. It has many seats and fairly large menu. There was something for me to have too as I am pescatarian, some bars have nothing for me to have. We ordered many food and they were all good. Having some game machines (not loud) billiards table and other. I enjoyed the stay.
Perfect place for dinner! From ambiance all the way to food it was incredible. Must try the Lovelace cocktail. Bartenders are on point with this cocktail list. App list is awesome. Dan was always around and knew what we needed before we needed it! Definitely follow his recommendations!
Angie was awesome!!! He service and attention to detail was amazing! She made our night one to remember, as did the amazing food and drinks! We love the rooftop!
Everything was amazing. We had a big party but John was very attentive. We had a little bit of everything Pear Salad 8/10

The pizza tastes great. Service is poor. They seat you right away but once you're in it's difficult to get your server to move along the dinner. Couldn't get the check until 30 minutes after we ate. Importantly the pizza is great.
Their stuffed pretzels are out of the world!! The beer is amazing, banana pudding beer is a must try!! Their apricot butter dipping creates heaven in our mouth!! Highly recommend going there for a bite of their delicious pretzels and dips!!
Oh where to begin, The menu indicated that items where gluten free upon ordering me and my celiac mother where told our chips and salsa could not be prepared gluten free. A simple soda water took almost 10 minutes to receive, my mother ordered a $15 salad with chicken and did not receive the chicken. The attachment shows a picture of her salad after I gave her half my Brussels sprouts and Mashed potatoes. Over all the service was awful and the meal was not worth the price
Over 400 kinds of whiskey! The food menu is small but good; no desserts. The boards have several fun options. Couple meals. Mostly apps, sandwiches, and burgers. This is where you go to have a few drinks and some apps with friends. Cute option for a date night. Not for kids. You go here to sample different types of whiskey you've never had. Some are expensive and some are not. There is beer, wine, and other spirits as well. Trendy. Great decor - metal and wood. As with most places in Providence, parking can be tricky. Give yourself some extra time.
A fav when stopping through for a show somewhere in Prov. Food is yummy, beers on tap - on point!
The wings are the best! Make sure to stop by to say hi to the friendly servers and enjoy a cold brew 🍻

This place stays open till 1am. I was in Providence for the first time and didn't want to get to bed too early.
Spent a relaxing Thursday night with a colleague having drinks and really fresh all things bagel pretzels and dip till midnight
The bartender really friendly

Great spot to grab dinner and a drink in Fox Point. They have an endless whiskey selection, along with pretty much any other drink you could ask for. You definitely won’t leave disappointed if you’re just coming in for drinks. The food won’t let you down either, a good selection of bar food with a few fancier plates. Their brussels app was one of the best I’ve had, and I enjoyed their take on a crunchwrap. The atmosphere is pretty dim and very much feels like a pub, it’s cool to see the plethora of whiskey bottles stacked on the shelves behind the bar. All in all, a good place for dinner and a great place for a drink (especially a whiskey drink)!
Had an excellent time here. Came on a Monday night and it was nice and quiet. Was just in time to enjoy a French onion burger paired with the Nebbiolo Red (at the bartenders suggestion) both were 10/10. Dessert was Ride the Tiger cocktail; perfectly delicious & sweet.
Don't bother making a reservation here. We made reservations so we could get to a show on time. But when we got there, we were told there would be a 30 to 45 minute wait. What's the point of making reservations if your not going to keep them? There was a Seinfeld episode about that.
Great spot for some great beer. Atmosphere is fantastic, prices are reasonable, go with a group or make friends while you are there. All the employees were knowledgeable about the beer selection and super friendly. The food was great that we ordered and service was prompt. Will def go again.
If you like coal fire style pizza, this place is great. Had a Caesar salad that is very lightly dressed and a margherita pizza. Good amount of basil. Edge pieces good crisp but the couple of middle pieces were a bit floppy in the middle but all still good. Went back a second time on the same trip 🙂
Awesome beer choices and I even liked the pretzel. Spent a few hours here drinking beer and watching the UFC 298 fights on my phone.
This is a great place to go for a few drinks. They have a huge selection of alcohol bottles and special cocktails (some not in the menu). Their prices are not bad. I didn't get a chance to try their food, so an update is coming up.
Went for the first time on a Wednesday evening for trivia. I first ordered a hot chocolate which was pretty bad. Doing something as simple as making the drink with milk instead of water would elevate it tenfold. For my meal I ordered the steak and cheese and the caprese sandwiches priced at $15 and $13, respectively. Both sandwiches were mediocre. The steak was chewy and I couldn't taste the onions, mushrooms, or cheese because the garlic aioli overpowered everything. The caprese ingredients just didn't work as a pretzel sandwich. The simple freshness that makes caprese enjoyable was lost especially because the mozzarella felt low quality. In addition, both sandwiches were small and the default bag of chips they come with felt lazy (the alternatives being a $4 bowl of soup or a $6 side salad!).
Overall, I felt like the food was not worth the price and the execution can be improved. I had a great time at trivia night with my friends and maybe that's the point of coming here; not the sandwiches.

A few friends and I decided to come to the district on a Friday night and had the best experience with Jerry! He was so personable, helpful, and quick! Our food was delicious and Jerry’s charisma made our experience that much better. Angelina and her band were playing tonight and they were PHENOMENAL! We ❤️ the district
My partner and I visited on a Saturday, early evening and despite the place not being busy, the servers tended to take long with asking for our orders and bringing the check. We started with the fish tacos which were the highlight of the night. I had the N&T Rice Bowl it was delicious but I could’ve done without the grapes and pineapples. Yuck. My partner had the Royale With Cheese which was delicious as well but the fries were overly seasoned. I had the Fruta & Fuego drink which was good but the salt/sugar rim it comes with was disgusting. The atmosphere was chill for the most part but on a cold Winter evening the last thing you want is the fan blowing at your neck. Overall Needle & Thread has some major improvements to work on. It’s like they almost got it but it’s not there yet.
Ordered the meatball sandwich for delivery, as well as the cinnamon sugar pretzel. The meatball sandwich was heavenly- salty with the cheese, but sweet when dipped in the marinara sauce. The meatballs were juicy and delicious. Portion looked a bit small at first, but actually ended up being perfect. Would definitely buy again.
brought a group of 12 here and had such a great experience. at first we were going to be 15+ so we did make a reservation but it’s not needed for less than 15 people and we were able to be seated on a friday night easily. the servers were very patient with us and made it a smooth night. the pretzels here are so amazing like soooo good. the gluten free options don’t make you feel like you’re missing out on anything. there’s so many gf options. the apricot butter, GET IT, it’s amazing and so innovative. loved the nut free pesto too. will be back again many times.
Bayberry beer hall has a great atmosphere for drinks or a night out. The food was very good, and you can tell there is a lot of attention to detail put into everyday dish.
Jackie the server was wonderful. Very friendly and apologetic. Took 1 hour to get our food. No fault of hers. The table behind me. Was commenting about the wait too. I think the kitchen was more concerned about the take out orders. I watched one of the cooks microwave my cold scrambled eggs to serve me. Before I recieved them. I really wanted to like this Cafe. 😕
Last night was my first and definitely not my last visit to Providence GPub. The drinks were amazing, the food (especially the nachos) was delicious, and the atmosphere is so cool. This is the perfect place to go to if you're seeing a show at PPAC, it's within walking distance! No need to worry about parking twice. Highly recommend.
One of the best experiences! They have the most delicious house made beer cheese. Keep it simple and get the salted pretzel with the beer cheese. You'll love it. Also ask for Harry!!! He's amazing. He is extremely attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend him for anything you need. He's also great with customer service. You can enjoy everything pretzel related or sip down some DOWNEAST cider, cider donut. You'll be very happy you came. I'm from Massachusetts and this place just screams New England. The New England Clam Chowder is AMAZING!! Thank you for everything.
I went for the first time last night. It's beautiful and very classy! A great vibe! My martini was perfect and the music was amazing! I didn't eat, but the friends I met there said the food is excellent. I loved it and I'll definitely be back!!!!
The food was delicious. The atmosphere was great. I would recommend the Baby Bella. It was amazing!!!
The only reason make me feel bad about this place is the service. The server was having lots of attitudes.

Just okay for me I judge breakfast places on their pancakes and waffles and it wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either. Going to eat here is just solid. Nothing to blow you away. The service was absolutely great and the environment was good. A little tight squeeze in between tables but nothing that bothered me too much. Overall good.
I'll have to go a second time to really understand the system here. We walked in with no reservations so were asked to sit at the bar, which made the food take longer. The food was delicious. People were very pleasant. The price was great too. I think the two bars are a great idea. And the table set up was nice for a small space.
Update: Called last night because the online ordering system wasn't working and apparently they don't answer phones so we went with pizza J's. Really not good for business!!

We were looking for a place to eat near the PPAC that would be close to parking and the show. We found this gem of a place. You walk down the stairs into a fun place to eat. We liked the way Providence GPub is set up. My brother started with the Clili-Cheese Tater Tots. Just the right amount cheese and chili. My wife and I each a cup of the House Made Chili. A very hearty chili with a good amount of beef and beans. Flavor was very good. For dinner, my with had the Sesame-Ginger Chicken Salad. There was plenty of chicken and the flavor was excellent. My brother had the fish and chips, can't go wrong with that meal. I had the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Club. Very tasty seasoning with excellent fries. Our server was very pleasant. All in all a very good time at the GPub. I would recommend this location if you are in the area for a show at the PPAC.
I thoroughly enjoyed this local spot for breakfast. It was a great place to eat on a cold rainy day with a nice cup of coffee and a delicious breakfast. I was able to get a table at the front window to enjoy the charming street. The service was awesome and the young lady was super nice. Food was cooked quickly but I was able to take my time and didn’t feel rushed. Parking is on the street and entrance is to the left side.
Recommended!

Cool, retro and antique type vibes. The food was really good and the service was even better. Wickenden Street is a nice quiet little street too, so was nice to check out the other places after breakfast. Would definitely go back.
Really great beer selection. They have a couple house beers on tap as well as a very large selection of local beers as well as other craft beers from around the country. They offer flights.
Food wise they offer a ton of different ways to have pretzels both in flavors and use. Who doesn't love fresh made pretzels and beer.

We got the 2x4 with Blueberry Pancakes and Pumpkin Pancakes. Along with a fruit bowl and a blueberry muffin.
Everything was made in a timely manner. The server was presentable and, more importantly, present in keeping our waters and coffee topped up.
Thank you for the lovely experience! My time in Providence has been amazing.

Love this place! The pizza is so good - especially the margherita. It might be the prettiest one I've ever seen and the taste is on point. I think their main thing is pizza but the other food is great as well. The atmosphere/vibe is nice - super cute & cozy. The bathroom is SO nice - I was not expecting it.. it's like something you'd see in a luxury hotel or fine dining restaurant (not that this is the most important thing but I appreciated it - it even smelled good). Also, the service is great! The first time we went, the bartender came to remove our pizza stand and check on us in between service from our waitress.
Tried the District for the first time on a Friday afternoon. Overall very satisfied with my first visit. Great good, great service, friendly staff. Sat at the bar and Dayna was my server and she was fantastic. Started with a wormtown pumpkin on draft. 🤷♂️ Went with a small meatlovers pizza without the meatball cooked by Juan. Pizza came out quick. Good amount of toppings, cooked very well. They have a rotating oven which helps with an even, consistent cook. The ingredients were extremely fresh. The Mozzarella really stood out and had an amazing cheese pull. Very little grease for a meat lovers. Sauce was very good, borderline great. Crust had a good crunch and taste. Pizza did have some flop. Beautiful undercarriage. I did add a little parmesean and red flakes to kick it up a notch. Juan made a great pizza. Ran the numbers on my scoring system and the pizza gets a Google 5, 7.6 out of 10. Fix the flop, switch to crumbled sausage, add cupping pepperoni, add some Char and maybe a little hot oil and the score would jump. Great overall establishment with a bar and high chairs. Free parking lot across the street with access from the next block up.
NEW MENU ITEM: Pumpkin Pancakes will literally blow your mind, they’re that good.
This is our usual breakfast spot, but I just had to post this to highlight the pancakes. Our typical breakfast is “The Classic” breakfast sandwich and the wait staff is always warm and welcoming, just like the pancakes 🥞🤩
PS: sorry no pics of the food, it was so good I forgot🤣

The food was ridiculously good. We sat at the bar and the waitress was so nice; the food took a while to arrive but when it did, it was stunning. We got the dumplings and the seared gnocchi. The gnocchi was surprising and delicious; it is heavy but the flavors were great!
2 stars is being very kind but the server was nice. We have a lot of questions about the food here. The home fries were hard and undercooked. The chef sent fries out later after agreeing they were not cooked properly. The waffles were soggy and hard at the same time. They absolutely cannot be made fresh in house to order. They have only sugar free fake maple syrup. I don't know how this place is still open for brunch. The DJ on Sunday was fine and played good 90s hip hop which was the highlight of our visit. Steer clear and find somewhere else.
Fantastic food, beer and service -- a must-have when visiting Providence.
We dined on the pickle plate, beef tartare, and chicken schnitzel sandwich; a small, medium, and large plating, by the restaurant's measurements. This was not only a fantastic array of flavors, but also a fantastic portioning amount for the two of us to split, at a very reasonable price. We also had two flights from the superb draft selection. Many good choices for all sorts of varieties, from the familiar to the more experimental palettes. For dessert, we had the peach upside-down cake. I usually don't go for desserts at restaurants, but this was incredible. A delectable blend of savory and sweet tastes and textures.
The service was extremely prompt considering the dishes and number of guests that night. The atmosphere was pleasant and not overwhelming, with music at an acceptable volume, and, despite the crowd, surprisingly minimal din.
Overall, I give this restaurant outstanding marks in all categories.

Sandwiches were good, but What really shined were the "appetizer" pretzels. The jalepeno cheddar stuffed pretzel was insanely good; like something I've never had before. I could've eaten 4 by myself. They also have a bunch of different sauce options for dipping. Overall a very casual spot. Root beer on draft. @amp_eats (instagram and Facebook)
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable evening at The Black Sheep restaurant bar, and I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with you.
From the moment I walked in, the ambiance exuded warmth and sophistication. The attentive and friendly staff immediately made me feel welcome. I started my culinary journey with two outstanding drinks that left a lasting impression.
The first sip of the mangojuuce transported me to a tropical paradise. Its fresh and invigorating flavor was a perfect blend of sweetness and zest, offering a refreshing start to the evening. Equally impressive was the diablo ocho, which provided a delightful kick of spice without overpowering the senses. The expert craftsmanship that went into these drinks was evident with every sip.
To complement these fantastic beverages, I indulged in the wing night offerings. The wings were, without a doubt, the epitome of culinary excellence. Crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside, each bite was a symphony of flavors. The wings boasted a perfect balance of textures, and the careful attention to seasoning ensured a palate-pleasing experience that I won’t soon forget. The sauce of choice was the Buffaque
It’s worth mentioning that the overall presentation and attention to detail at The Black Sheep further elevated the experience. The commitment to quality and the passion for crafting unforgettable dishes and drinks shone through in every aspect of the evening.
In summary, my visit to The Black Sheep was an absolute delight. From the enchanting ambiance to the exceptional drinks and the delectable wings, every element of the experience was carefully curated and masterfully executed. It’s rare to find a place that excels in both drinks and food with such finesse. If you’re seeking an extraordinary dining and drinking experience, I wholeheartedly recommend paying a visit to The Black Sheep.

Crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside, each bite was a symphony of flavors. The wings boasted a perfect balance of textures, and the careful attention to seasoning ensured a palate-pleasing experience that I won’t soon forget. The sauce of choice was the Buffaque
It’s worth mentioning that the overall presentation and attention to detail at The Black Sheep further elevated the experience. The commitment to quality and the passion for crafting unforgettable dishes and drinks shone through in every aspect of the evening.
In summary, my visit to The Black Sheep was an absolute delight. From the enchanting ambiance to the exceptional drinks and the delectable wings, every element of the experience was carefully curated and masterfully executed. It’s rare to find a place that excels in both drinks and food with such finesse. If you’re seeking an extraordinary dining and drinking experience, I wholeheartedly recommend paying a visit to The Black Sheep.
Omg so this place def gives those diner vibes… in such a great way. My partner and I stopped in and they were quite busy but still got us seated in a timely manner. The waitress, I wish I got her name because she was really on her stuff! Attentive, made sure our drinks were topped off, checked in on us and she was very kind and respectful. The food was great! I had a Philly cheesesteak and fries. I look forward to going back.
Had a great late lunch stop, staff was friendly and attentive. They have some unique pizzas as well as your standard selection. Try the clam pizza! All 3 of the pizzas we tried were great and had a lot of flavor. They are all made fresh with the crust hand tossed on-site! Definitely recommend stopping in!
If you have a dairy allergy like me this is my favorite pizza spot in RI! Love their Pulled Pork with BBQ sauce, vegan cheese, caramelized onions & honey garlic pizza the most! But there are so many tasty options! Make sure you make reservations if you plan on dining in :) (hot homey pizza is also 🔥)
Went here for breakfast, great start to the day. As a tourist this is just like the old school diner you see on TV. Recommended
Came for a friends birthday brunch. $25 for a bottle of champagne & orange juice which is crazy, but still a deal if you were to buy individual mimosas. The food was SO good. So good. Been thinking about their hash since I left.
Great food and coffee. Its a little cramped with tables in the center . The home fries are nice and tasty . The price is a bit on the expensive side for the same breakfast elsewhere at $12.45 without taxes.
We can from NY for an event. The waitress was great! Daisy, thank you for being great! My son said it felt like being at home with family. The food was great and the environment was clean and tidy.
Great samosas, great garlic naan, great mango lassi, and great papadams. Their chicken tikka masala is also excellent and the lunch portion is generous. Reason for the four star review is their chicken vindaloo. It really lacked the spice, tang, and the wow factor that I usually get from a great vindaloo. It’s my go to dish and this left me very disappointed. However, everything else was so good I’ll definitely be back and will try something else!
The best Indian we've had in Providence!
We travel often and rarely find such good flavor especially on the southern Indian dishes.
We ordered ahead and there was a mistake with the order, but they were able to rapidly fix it. I appreciate when a place isn't always perfect but is able to make it right. We'll be going back for sure. You'll be missing out if you don't try this place.

I haven’t been here in a few years because someone had told me they closed down? But they are open and running. Pretty busy even right at closing time on a weekday. The staff was super nice even though I came really late. There’s a list full of vegan specials and gluten free options which was great for my friend. I love the corned beef hash and Benedict with hollandaise myself though. Everything was reasonably priced and I’m glad they haven’t closed
You can tell the ranch dressing is homemade. 😍 The spinach artichoke dip was incredible - I could have it out of the bowl sans bread. My friend had the Buffalo chicken wings and loved them!
I had the Graduate Bowl, friends had the Buffalo Mac & Cheese and the Bourbon Steak Pizza…
Only feedback was the “bees knees” drink I was hoping for a more honey flavor and less strawberry. Other than that - service was incredible, food was quick and delicious!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 10/10 would recommend.

Solid breakfast place. Relatively large menu, plus off menu specials and vegan options.
Homefries were well-portioned and seasoned. Wheat toast was very solid as well. I found my omelette underseasoned, but salt, pepper, hot sauce, and ketchup were available on each table.
Opens at 8AM, which I find relatively late for a breakfast restaurant.

Very cute breakfast and brunch spot. The service was great, prices were excellent and offering coffee milk is a plus! I enjoyed the smoked salmon eggs benny.
Delicious food, worth the wait! :)
Beautiful artwork and murals painted all around the restaurant.
Comfortable atmosphere, though very, very noisy. Could definitely use some acoustic treatment on the ceiling, and may be a problem for those with sensory difficulties.
Pictured: Strawberry pancakes (not on menu) with the 2x4 menu item, and lemon and blueberry French toast, also with the 2x4 item and not listed as an option. Just ask, they'll accommodate! ;)

The first and among the best places we have been to in Providence. This speakeasy had a DJ on Tuesday night playing great music and serving up fantastic cocktails and food! The Harissa Mussels are my absolute favorite and the chicken biryani was a close second. Love the drinks, food, and how nice the waiter was to us. Highly recommended. This place is a rare gem!
One of my favorite pizza places in Providence. Had them make me my own version of a meat lovers, (sausage, pepperoni and bacon) and its delicious. Great Wings and cold beer. Doesn't get much better than this. Place is fantastic. Great service and an extremely busy place at times. 8.5 of 10 atleast.
Spectacular chefs here with a great menu every time. A good combination of fancy and casual. I love being able to see into the kitchen. It’s kind of counter service. You place your order at the bar and they bring it over to your table.
Very well made. Helpful staff. Plenty of seating.
The food took a little while to come out but the drinks were quick.
Appropriate for both adults and kids. A couple at the outdoor seating had a dog with them. A little hard to park around here.
Edit; the last time i just came here the food took a reasonable amount of time to come out. They maybe hired more staff in the kitchen or they may have been behind the previous time i visited.

Great omelets and good pancakes. Its a good spot for good quality breakfast and more, while not breaking the bank. The service is speedy without you feeling rushed at all. Your order will arrive quickly. It has a bright colorful and inviting decor. Give it a try.
Great service and the food was yummy and very generous with the portion of food I would recommend this place.
This place is very nice to have breakfast or lunch. The place is small but is very well organized. Depending where you sit you can see the chef preparing the food. The teast of the food was good and the proportion was big.
We went to Barberry's for brunch about 1pm on a Saturday. I got the chicken and waffles. It was good. Everyone got different food. Their portions were quite generous. You self go to your table, read the menu then self order. They were pretty fast with serving. Very pleasant place.
Great apps and bread.
The cold Samosa Chaat appetizer was so good. ($8.95). The sauce was so tasty and their samosas were creamy under a bed of that sauce and chickpeas.
Their Vegetable Samosa app ($6.95) comes with two large, warm and creamy pieces. I also tried for the first time, Traditional Alu Parantha ($5.50). It's whole wheat bread filled with I believe Samosa filling and griddled with what tasted like ghee. Amazing!!
Much better portions then their lunch menu. Last time I got their Chicken Korma lunch special and the amount of chicken they gave was disappointing. I got 3 regular sized cubes of chicken.

Drinks were good, the vibe was good, the food was okay, and the service was… less than good. But it’s 2021 and literally everyone is short handed right now, so it’s understandable. We’ll probably come back, but maybe just for drinks.
My son asked me today whether "this place" (Bayberry) was a brewery (no), restaurant (no?), or bar (no?). I had no answer, really, and it was a fair question. My wife suggested "food hall", but that neglected the beer. We never did really answer that question well.
But I can tell you this; Bayberry Beer Hall offers lots of craft beer from New York and north, on draught and in cans, plenty of very nicely prepared sandwiches and entrees, and does so in a really cool space with both indoor and outdoor seating.
I liked my spicy fried chicken sandwich very much. The fries were also excellent and the pickles amazing. My wife loved her grass fed beef burger, and my son was very happy with chicken dumplings. The sourdough pretzel we started with might have been a bit plain, but the mustard spread (might have had butter in it?) really made it worthwhile in the end.
The beer selection was really impressive, and the bar staff seemed to know quite a bit about it. We had a few samplers and were much happier with the samples they picked for us than with the ones we chose ourselves.
What surprised me the most was Bayberry's ice cream. There were only three flavors offered, and we tried the Golden Milk (for my wife) and the Black Raspberry Chip (for me). I'm no fan of golden milk in general, with its tumeric and peppery flavor, but my wife loved it. My raspberry, though, was one of the best fruit flavored ice creams I've had, and I eat, and review, a lot of ice creams. It had white chocolate chips in it as well as what appeared to be dark chocolate shavings. Delicious.
Bayberry is only open from 4pm on during the week, though, which means lunch isn't an option, which is a shame, because I'd like to come back for another meal before we head south back home in a few days.
It's a great place and we'll visit again next time we're up this way.

Excellent, highly recommend! Great local beer choices. Flights of beer are a great way of trying a few different options. Food was really good as well, particularly the fries. Staff was super friendly and service was really fast. Dog friendly outside along the wall. Street is a bit busy for nervous dogs.
Lovely menu selections, convenient location. Noteworthy yummy sweets, and beautiful view of bridge and river nearby (i.e., India Point Park or Corliss Landing/Providence River Park)!
Average food, staff lacks interest. not allergy aware, told me they could not guarantee specific ingredient will not be in my food (lemon juice). when asked for a piece of onion, informed me it will cost $2.25 for "Indian salad". I have never ever been charged extra for a piece of onion in any Indian restaurant before this.
Indian restaurants are my favorite. This one was the worst I’ve been to in regards of the taste. The food has no spice, not even salt or pepper. Plus, it’s small portions and expensive. The place was nice, the waitress was nice, another employee too but unfortunately, I came here expecting to have, above all, good food.
Loved!!! The wings. The rubbed ones. The flavor was 4.5 stars. It was a little too salty. But the wings were crispy, big and full of meat, not fat. And cooked just right! The beer selection is great too but a little pricey
The service was great and the food was amazing! My favorite Indian restaurant in he providence area! The paneer tikka masala has been my favorite since I last visited New Delhi, India and it tasted so authentic and rich here. Definitely the place to go if you’re looking for Indian!
