food here was good, but also quite expensive. we got the lamb sausage, hashbrowns, deviled eggs, and biscuit. the lamb sausage was fantastic, the fennel mint and onions paired super nicely with the juicy and fatty sausage. it was a well balanced and unique dish that was totally worth it. hashbrowns were also fantastic, i've never quite had a hash brown with that texture, super crispy but not too oily while maintaining a good salty potato flavor. the deviled eggs were nothing to write home about and the biscuit was solid, i wished there was more jam though. my main complaint here was the service. it took an hour to be seated which we expected, but the tables around us were getting free desserts because of the wait time, yet we weren't offered one. we all arrived at the same time and waited the same time, which rubbed us the wrong way, but didn't mind too much. the main thing that off put me was the 20% service charge at the end, we were not told by the front desk person or our waiter til the very end when we got the check about this. it was also not stated on the menu. for a party of two i was shocked that we were forced into that amount without anyone informing us about it. this should 100% be put on the menu or just told to customers. i don't mind tipping this much but i truly do believe the patron should tip based off of the quality of food and service, rather than being forced into a certain amount without prior knowledge. it's not a deal breaker whatsoever, but id like to be told up front about it this sort of stuff. overall i would totally come back and try some more of their food options, i also now know what to expect price wise. i was a little disappointed on service but the food is worth it. read more

Frank & Laurie's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

3.5 stars but not at all because of the quality of food. We waited over 45 minutes for our food while watching others who sat down AGES after us and therefore ordered AGES after us get their food. They ended up giving us free brownies and free orange juice to make up for their mistake (maybe forgot to put our order in?), but still maybe could've gotten a comp for one of our dishes that we had already ordered instead of new dishes we didn't need. I'm grateful don't get me wrong just.... The food was delicious though. I'm not a huge biscuit person but the biscuit was yummy and flaky which I feel like is different from normal ones? Idk regardless was good and it came with grapefruit jam and butter yum. The hash browns were hands down my fav dish. So oily and crispy and everything a hash brown should be MMMM plus the aioli and cubed presentation. The pancakes were so good and fluffy and GIANT and the whipped butter was yummy on top. The maitake madame was something different but nonetheless good. It was very mustardy but also not too overwhelmingly mustardy and the cheese on top the crispy bread was perfect. All in all the food was superb but the long wait time is what ultimately brought this rating down. The place was also very crowded and lively up until closing, no doubt due to the delicious food read more

This was absolutely delicious! The service was wonderful, the food was phenomenal, and, we got lucky and got parking right up front! Lovely experience, would highly recommend read more

Overall, I liked Frank and Laurie's and will likely visit again so I can get a better feel for their menu. I enjoyed my coffee, and the hash browns were perfectly crisp and paired nicely with an aioli. I thought the quiche was OK; I liked the sweet potato topping but felt like the egg was not as cooked as I am used to. Therefore, that may be just my personal preference and not an issue with the restaurant. I am usually pretty adventurous with food and not very picky, but I did not love the deviled eggs either. However, my friend really enjoyed the pancakes and it was a pretty generous portion. In terms of ambiance, this is an adorable spot to catch up with friends over brunch. Definitely call and make a reservation for large groups, or expect to wait a bit when you check in; I went with one person on a Wednesday at noon and only waited 15 minutes, which was not bad! Staff were nice as well. read more

Worthy of the coveted Tee Z Sixth Star! A midday last minute lunch choice turned out to be a winner. Hours are 10-3p only. We had the pork shoulder sandwich and the patty melt, using the butterscotch doughnut as an appetizer lol . The sandwiches were just simply incredible, service, five star and very friendly everything you would expect from a place on the east side of Providence. Please note that a 20% gratuity is added to all checks, and off street parking is available. If you enjoy a eclectic fresh and hip meals, this is The Place. read more

Finally made it to Frank & Laurie's for dinner! The restaurant was cozy and quite nice inside. My friend and I shared everything and it was more than enough food. We got the tuna crudo, which was light and the perfect amount of citrus. We also got mussels with creamed beans, which was an interesting combination and probably my fav dish of the night. The lasagna was quite unique, as it was crispy instead of the regular soft lasagna. We finished with a kiwi chocolate mousse, which was delicious and reminded me of mint chocolate. I'd definitely come back to try them for breakfast! read more

Frank & Lauries was our first stop in Providence and we can see why Gwyneth Paltrow gave them a shout out (supposedly). We started off with some bevvies from the counter while we waited for our table. I got the special paw paw latte. It was an interesting concept but to be completely honest, it just tasted like a latte to me! I didn't taste anything special or any subtle notes of pear or anything fruity for that matter. This was a miss for me. For food, we decided on the hash browns to share and I got their special scallop salad. It was really nice and refreshing for the hot day. My husband got the patty melt and devoured it. I had a bite as well and it was delicious. We also had the deviled eggs which were definitely more elevated than the deviled eggs I grew up on. I really liked it! The hash browns were my favorite though. So crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum! read more

Frank and Laurie's puts a lot of thought and effort into their food, that is clear. The dine in area is buzzing on a weekend- there aren't many places you'll walk into with the same kind of energy. The staff seems like they really enjoy what they're doing; despite running around non-stop. The food is great, however I think I had quite high expectations that were not met. I'd say my expectations correlated pretty well the pricing of things.. It's expensive here. California specialty bakery/French pastiserie prices without delivering as well. The quiche was very good but it leaned slighty to far towards gelatinous for me. I would have liked for it to lean more towards creamy or eggy, it was too gelatin-like. The sauces, flavors, peppers and texture from the fried cheese were phenomenal. The crust was lackluster. $18 is steep for even a quiche of this size. Especially with the automatic %20 gratuity. More on that later. The Croque monsieur was overall kind of a let down. The bread was wonderfully tangy, slight chew, good texture and depth of flavor- likely helped by the ground mustard. The roasted pork was flavorless, dry, and just kind of fell apart. The egg should have been a runny egg- scrambled egg here was also not a value add. A runny yolk would have helped with mouth feel all around. $19 on this is OK, still pricey, but it was substantial. Just not amazing. The donut, I personally wouldn't bother. The texture of the donut was very good but the filling had no flavor. Wait for them to have a more fruit forward flavor then I'd say go for it. This was a creamed corn flavor or something like that. $6 Not pictured I got their hot coffee, just don't. There are too many great coffee shops close by to drink mediocre coffee. Wasted $5, unfortunately. Now, the gratuity. Automatic 20%? Fine.. Until I'm waiting an hour for my food.. And the staff isn't Eben on top of keeping the water full when we were sitting at the bar area. The service was absolutely not worthy of a 20% tip. I can't say I'll be riding to come back but I'll try the dinner here at some point- my expectations are a bit more tempered now and yours should be, too. Don't expect a life changing experience. They're elevated here, but I'm after more than just presentation and technique- give me the flavor and service. read more

This was a pit stop as we drove from New Jersey, Connecticut, and finally Rhode Island. My favorite dish from this place was the deviled eggs. Everything here was a little fat/protein heavy. So if you're mostly plant based or vegetarian, I would steer clear of this place. Memorable contenders were the hash browns and potato bowl. I thought the menu prices reflecting gratuity inclusion was a neat concept. read more

Oh Frank and Laurie, what have you done?! The words unexpected and inconspicuous come to mind. Who would have guessed this little dining space located on the corner street of neighborhood could pack such a punch. The menu itself? I can't even fully grasp the theme. Is it Lunch? Brunch? Something in between? From pancakes to porridge, soups salad an and sandwiches, it all honestly feels a little all over the place. But the food though!! Creative, flavorful, absolutely spectacular. The biscuits: buttery, flakey, crumbly goodness. It's not easy finding a great biscuit, especially anywhere outside of the South. Deviled eggs: flavor on flavor on texture on flavor. Smoked trout roe? Yes please. I've have a lot of deviled eggs, but can't say I've ever had better. The creative juices were certainly flowing with this one. Hash brown: This more than anything is the reason I came to Frank and Laurie, and it did not disappoint. A cubbed hash brown, perfectly golden brown and crispy on the outside while being beautifully melty on the Inside? This feels like something a mad culinary scientist cooked up in a lab. Some things you just have to experience for yourself. Sometimes you got to go with the flow, and when it works, it works! After just one visit, this charming little spot has gone ahead and snatched my heart. I'll be dreaming of my return.... read more

I stopped in for breakfast and was genuinely impressed. Everything I tried was incredibly tasty and fresh, and you can tell real care goes into the food. The service was absolutely impeccable, friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. It's rare to find a place that nails both quality and hospitality, but this spot truly does. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This is such a cute family owned place that also has amazing food. We came here for brunch and there was a long wait which was well worth it. We ordered a lambrusco spritz to start and it was a very wintery drink that was still light. For food, we started with hasbrowns which were unique in that they were shredded potatoes that were then in a cube shape and fried. Despite being fried, these did not feel ultra heavy, and since there are only 4 in an order, its a good side dish. The restaurant was very accommodating an alternative aioli sauce with it since the original one had an ingredient Im allergic to. For our main food, I ordered a maitake madam and my husband had the pancake special which came with a strawberry sauce. The maitake madam was savory and unlike anything Ive had. The bread had a nice crisp to it while still being soft and the souffle eggs were ultra light and fluffy. The mushrooms gave the dish a nice body and the raclette cheese + dijon mushroom gave the dish an umami flavor. I really liked this dish but it is very filling. The pancakes were also a large portioned dish. The pancakes were very fluffy and light, and the strawberry sauce was sweet but not over powering. The blend of pancake and strawberry sauce made each bite satisfying and not too sweet. Our server was also very friendly and attentive despite how busy this place was. Its clear based on the food and atmosphere why this place is so busy. read more

Found this spot when looking for brunch while our other fav spot was closed nearby. Really nice and cozy space with friendly service, though a little on the slow side. Pancakes were huge and delicious, and the porridge was interesting and good as well. The menu was a bit limited and would have liked a few more breakfast options plus sides like bacon. Overall a nice experience read more

Where to start. Was recommended to come here and so glad I did. This is a brunch spot that does dinner on Friday's only. Due to timing decided to come for lunch. Daniel gave excellent service and recommendations. The hash browns were perfectly crisp and tender inside. The deviled eggs were not your typical deviled eggs. The flavor was delightful and unexpected. The star dish is the poached eggs and potatoes !! This one I cannot explain but it works and will try to recreate at home. read more

WOW my new favorite restaurant in Providence!! If a friend was visiting me in Providence and going for brunch, this is 100% where I would take them. It's a cute little mom&pop style restaurant located on the corner of a street that serves amazing food that's well balanced in terms of flavor and texture. Wait staff also very attentive and warm! Must get food: the hash browns! Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sprinkle of salt on top. Oyster aioli as the perfect dip on the side! Also the foccacia in any form. Foccacia with soup was my favorite (soup changes seasonally) Other brunch foods we enjoyed: donut (flavor changes seasonally, but so good), pancakes (fluffy, thick, with dash of salt and generous butter). Deviled eggs (not a big deviled eggs person, but if you are you definitely should get it, the crispy rice on top is great textural change!) Parking: on the street, usually plenty of spots open on the streets nearby though read more

I had a lovely brunch at Frank & Laurie's. I decided to order a few different dishes, starting with the deviled eggs - with roe and crunch they had a lovely texture and taste. I also ordered one of the seasonal salads, with celery root, lemon, and apples. It was very well prepared and plated. The lemons dominated the flavor profile of the salad. Lastly I ordered one of the mains - my favorite dish - lamb sausage on creamy polenta. The sausage was superb - tender and well seasoned - and with the polenta it was divine. Great plating. Service was very warm. The decor reminded me of Scandinavian - very modern and beautiful counter. read more

New age, creative taste. Warm atmosphere, shared seating tables to maximize space. Friendly staff. Team environment. Parking can be a little tricky during the week. Tried the hot chocolate with homemade whip cream. Not sweetened. It's an adult taste not for kiddos. Opened up with the hash browns, they aren't the usual. Everyone has their own spin. Here they are little crispy cubes served with Aioli. Then ordered the breakfast sandwich. Sausage, egg, cheese and onion. The sausage seems home made. The eggs were just mind blowing. They were super soft and called steamed eggs. Fluffy and flavorful. It all meshed well together the cheese on top was just that. Perfect! Overall, this place is worth it for the service and food. They add an automatic 20% gratuity. I'm never a fan, but this was well earned and deserved. Recommend not coming during rush hour, due to limited parking. read more

From the creators of our favorite pop-up, Thick Neck, comes a new brunch (and Friday night dinner) spot that's quickly becoming our neighborhood favorite. Frank & Laurie's brings "elevated grandma chic" vibes, and the food is just as homey. The menu changes often, but don't miss the deviled eggs and the best hashbrowns you'll ever have--a crispy, cubed block of fried goodness served with oyster sauce. Pro Tips: - It gets VERY busy on weekends and Fridays, so try making a reservation. There is a cute park across the street for while you wait - Weekdays are easier to stop in - Don't miss the hashbrowns and the deviled eggs read more

Cute, cozy brunch spot on the East Side. I went on a Friday morning and it was packed. I had the red wine and coke, crispy hashbrowns w/ aoili, and the lamb sausage with fennel salad. Everything was delicious! Great flavor for each dish. Prices were reasonable, staff was pretty nice. read more

What a total gem of a spot. Went for dinner on a Friday night and couldn't have been more happy with our experience. The ambiance was cozy and moody. Perfect for intimate conversation. Noise levels were medium. Beautiful decor. The food was fantastic. Innovative without being fussy or overwrought. Standouts were the corn pici, roasted eggplant, and marinated tomatoes. Also loved the tuna cantaloupe crudo. Drinks were solid as was the semifreddo dessert. Service was good. Overall, definitely high quality ingredients and thoughtful dishes prepared with care. What more can you ask for. Wonderful times were had. Can't wait to see what they do next! read more

This place recently opened up near me and I checked it out with a friend for brunch. We both got a milkshake, and said it was one of the better milkshakes we've had. They're vanilla with a black cherry, and the option to add liquor. For food, I got the steamed egg and sausage English muffin sandwich. The creamy streamed egg was interesting, but I thought the sausage was the standout component. I'd probably try something else next time, but it was a solid breakfast sandwich. There was both indoor and outdoor seating, and we opted for outside. The tables are good for two, but since they're folding one side it isn't as comfortable to sit at because you can't put your legs under it. The cups, plates, and silverware were charmingly mismatched and the napkins were very nice. The table also had a cute little vase with flowers. read more

Frank & Laurie's opened in May 2024 at 110 Doyle Ave. in Providence. Parking is available along Doyle Ave. and Camp Ave. Frank & Laurie's renovated the former Rebelle Bagel space. There are tables for two and four, long shared tables and seats at the counter bar. They can seat 40 inside and there are 2 tables for outside dining. Breakfast & lunch is available Wednesday to Sunday: 10am-3pm. Walk-ins only and no reservations. I arrived on Saturday around 12:00pm and the hostess informed me that only outside seating was available. It was a nice cool November day so it wasn't too bad sitting outside. The menu is small and limited of breakfast and bistro dishes complemented by cocktails, wine and beer, and locally roasted coffee. We started with the hashbrowns with smoked oyster aioli. The hashbrowns were cube shaped, crispy on the outside and shredded potatoes inside. The aioli was delicious. I had the Red Wine & Coke and breakfast sandwich. In Spain, the kalimotxo is made of equal parts red wine and Coca-Cola. I didn't have this drink in Spain but I did have Tinto de verano, it is similar to sangria and is typically made up of 1 part of table red wine and 1 part soda, usually lemonade. I liked the Red Wine & Coke; it was a bit bubbly and smooth. The breakfast sandwich was an English muffin with steamed egg, sausage, onion, and cheese. The English muffin was crunchy and gave the whole sandwich texture. The steamed egg, sausage, caramelized onion, and cheese were very fresh. My husband had the soup of the day which was a honeynut squash soup and the Ham & Butter sandwich. He thought the honeynut squash soup would be a little thicker. The Ham & Butter sandwich was good, but it was pretty normal. Liam was our server and he was friendly and attentive. Frank & Laurie's automatically add 20% gratuity on all dine-in checks as a part of their service model to help provide consistent and equitable income for staff in a way that the traditional tipping system does not. read more

Loved frank & Laurie's! Was such a treat. Tried several dishes and enjoyed many of them. The pancakes were some of the best I ever had. Thick, fluffy, crispy and perfectly buttery. The croque madam was good and well loved by my dinner companions. We had a spaghetti dish that had tuna in it and it was absolutely phenomenal! For dessert we had a paw paw donut and it was filled with cream and very soft. The hash browns were very crispy and the aoili was delicious. Would love to come back! read more

This neighborhood venue located on a beautiful neighborhood offers affordable menu. It's difficult to get a reservation since they only offer one day a week dinner times.( Sunday) The ambiance is quiet, staff is wonderful and helpful. The parking situation is not difficult. There's plenty of space to park along side of the street. I totally enjoyed my dinner. This restaurant its not big, its cozy and a bit dark, which adds a spice of romance i might say, can't wait to go back read more

Super cute restaurant, it's hard to get a table since they don't to brunch reservations so plan accordingly. We sat at the communal table which was fun and different. Their iced coffee is good but for $6 it was half filled with ice. The menu is small but all the food we tried was amazing and I left full. Definitely on the pricier side but for a fun occasion totally worth it! read more

Wonderful lunch brunch but a long wait. We finally sat down after waiting for 45 min then they ran out of some of their pastries

I went based off the review ratings but didn't look at the menu. This is a foodie restaurant. Which typically would mean it's not for me. I'm picky and I don't like much, BUT I loved those amazing pancakes. Prob the best I've ever had with that butter and syrup The other half said the soup and hashbrowns were also good read more

Food was over priced and not very flavorful besides the pancakes. they also include 20% gratuity and the service is very slow

A tasty brunch perfect for a sunny summer day! My wife and I experienced this spot where Rebelle Bagels used to be and decided to settle in for a tasty breakfast. The one 'misstep' was an expensive and not so tasty cup of drip coffee ($5 a cup?) that otherwise did not mar a stellar breakfast. We opened the meal with hashbrowns - crispy cubes of potato goodness with a decent but unnecessary sauce. We barely touched the sauce due to the hashbrowns being so tasty! For breakfast I had the carrot salad and ham & butter sandwich while my wife had the pancakes. The pancakes had a malted, roasted flavor - very pleasing! The carrot salad was shredded and had a wonderful umami sauce mixed in. Finally I enjoyed the ham and butter sandwich, but there was mayonnaise like flavor, maybe cultured butter was used? Overall it was very tasty with the coffee being the only misstep. read more

The food here was great and the staff is amazing. I've eaten breakfast here a couple of times and each time I've loved it. I've eaten inside and outside and both are incredible experiences as the ambience is honestly so inviting, especially with how friendly everyone is. The only issue I've ever had is when we tried to go in on a Friday I believe to go and get dinner. I called before I went to ask how long the walk-in line was and they said it was about an hour. So I walked over about three minutes later to go get on the list and when I got over there, they said they were booked for the night. A little frustrating because I just called a few minutes earlier. So make sure you go early to try and get on the list because you can be left without sometimes, but honestly if you just get there early, you're not going to have a problem. They are great when you plan ahead. Can't wait for my next stop in as the food is so good. read more

Frank & Laurie's - Pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I definitely need to revisit Frank & Laurie's but I was not wowed on my initial visit. We live nearby so stopped by soon after opening in the summer. Because we came on a weekday we didn't have the wait that others have described on weekends and were able to immediately grab an outdoor table. It's a small menu so I think next time I would recommend ordering a few options to share for the table. I got the egg sandwich and honestly I really did not like it. I think with the steamed egg it is just a polarizing texture and you probably either love it or hate it. My husband ordered the soup of the day (I believe it was asparagus) and just kept repeating how it was VERY asparagus-y but I don't think he meant that as a compliment. I did however try a bit of the pancakes and the salad and I enjoyed those a lot. Maybe we just aren't foodie- enough to appreciate the upscale brunch or maybe we ordered incorrectly. I did appreciate the cute touches like the plates and cutlery. I will definitely be open to trying again and getting some different food in the hopes of finding a better fit but with high-ish prices and generally a wait to enter it's not high on my list for now to return to. read more

Don't go there. Go somewhere else. My first attempt to go there failed when we were turned away 20 minutes before they closed. It pissed me off but I was willing to give it another try. We come in and the exact same hostess jams us in a corner practically on top of the couple next to us, when the huge communal table was empty. Food was tasty, service very good, but the cocktails were expensive and skimpy, with no choices for hard liquor. The icing on the cake was when the waiter came over with our $85 bill and told us that a 20% gratuity was automatically added to the check. Nothing before that moment informed us that this was going to happen. I'm industry, I usually leave 25-30% for a tip. It's not about the money, it's about being sneaky. It's totally unethical and I'm wondering if it's even legal. WILL NOT BE RETURNING!!! read more
