Was hoping when we went here on Friday night during lent that they would have a fish choice on the…read morespecial menu. Disappointingly they did not. Going to the punt position I went with a tuna melt. I am a fan of these so let's see what this one was like. The order came pretty quick. That's a plus. It was on two toasted slices of bread that were a little bit thicker which again was a plus. There was a good amount of tuna for the sandwich. I wish they offered a choice of cheese, but they did not. A side of french fries came along for the ride... not bad. They toss in a pickle. I like pickles.

An unassuming spot on the side of the road, I discovered some of the best wings of RI I've had all…read moremonth. The RI Food Fights event Lord of the Wings brought me here. This spot happens to be on my way home from the office and I'm glad I stopped in. Overall the place is small, with both table dining and bar seating. My friend and I chose to sit at the bar. Meaghan was our bartender. Friendly and informative, she really knew the menu. I got garlic teriyaki wings, my friend got a double order of plain and we shared a pepperoni, half black olive pizza. The wings were huge and juicy. The sauce was so good, and they did a great job of coating the wings in a way that they were well covered but the sauce wasn't dripping off. The pizza was better than average. I had heard it described as bar pie in the local pizza Facebook group but that isn't accurate. It's got the thickness of a Greek style pizza but not baked in a pan. The pizza sauce has a nice tang to it that I prefer. It very easy to eat. Initially I thought I would be taking some pizza home for lunch the next day but before I knew it, I had polished off the wings and 6/8 of the pizza. My only criticism of the pie is I'm a stickler for a proper half and half split and the olives were on a majority of the pie instead of only half. I finished with a Snicker inspired drink created by our bartender. It's butterscotch forward in flavor and is decidedly a dessert drink. It was a lovely sweet treat to finish the meal. What I love most about the Food Fight events is having the opportunity to discover small spots like this one. Having a place to hide away from traffic on the way home from work is clutch, so I will be back sooner rather than later. I'm looking forward to the next time I stop by!

These Tator tots that were on special with pulled pork were so good. But the biggest surprise was the cauliflower. Hands down THEE BEST fried cauliflower I've ever had in my life. Not soft and mushy but crispy great flavor and the sweet chili sauce was not over powering. The bartender was super friendly and gave us some recs as well. I would drive the hour again to this spot.

Chill brewery under 10 minutes from Emerald Square Mall. This place has been on my list for a long…read moretime and when I realized where it was I thought this would be great to check out after a busy afternoon of errands along Route 1. It's located right at the entrance of an industrial area. There is a very small lot for parking but it was completely full when we visited today, so we parked along the road where a number of other cars were also parked. This seemed to be okay and the signs just requested folks not park on the grass. The entrance is set back from the street so you kind of need to go around towards the back. We saw they had a food truck, Farm to Sandwich, which although kind of pricey, was super delicious. We both got the All American Smash burger with fries. Fries were so crisp and well crafted and the burger was amazing with a great sauce reminiscent of a Big Mac. For beers, since it was our first time here, we decided to try a bit of everything with flights. Their flights are $13 for 4, 5 oz pours. I chose the Coffee Milk Stout, You are Such an Ass, Bienvenu and Justin's Jangle. We started which the You are Such an Ass IPA, which was described as a light IPA but really didn't taste like an IPA at all. We honestly thought they had poured us the wrong beer. As IPA enthusiasts, this was disappointing. The Bienvenu, which is a Red Ale with Panela (unrefined Colombian sugar cane) was infinitely better. The Coffee Milk Stout, I understand is very popular, but I thought this was average. Justin's Jangle, a Maple Praline Porter was my favorite! Really nice, complex brew! We also really enjoyed the live music from Jake Frezza, a local musician out of North Providence. He sang and played guitar and covered a diverse sampling of songs including Brittney Spears (Toxic), James Taylor and Marvin Gaye. His version of "What's Going On" was particularly excellent. I normally dread listening to live performers at breweries but this guy is actually very talented! Kudos to Ravenous for engaging such a high quality musician! Also, for a Saturday, it was not overcrowded or over run with kids. There was just one family with a super quiet baby and we noted just one dog inside. On exiting, I saw they have a nice memorial where they offer to pour a beer to a fallen service member. Very nice! Gender neutral restrooms Pinball Separate rooms make it quieter than breweries in just one big industrial space. Friendly service at the bar and no lines! Bar stools with no back, kind of uncomfortable and there seemed to be no other seating options like chairs or sofas. In summary: Highlights: Bienvenu Red Ale Justin's Jangle Jake Frezza live music Nice memorial to fallen soldiers Low Lights: You are Such an Ass IPA Barstools/ seating Would definitely stop back here again when in the area!

It was exciting when they moved to the new location and have a big beautiful building now. It's a great place to hang out and is quite large so is perfect for events. They have had fundraisers and music there often. There is a nice outside area , perfect for the nice weather coming. They usually have a food truck or you can bring your own. The beers are always reliable. They have had the bievenuto red and coffee stout as long as I can remember. There is always a good amount of choices , if you don't enjoy those flavors as much as I do. It's a really great spot and a great place to visit. Cheers

It was…read moreprobably around 5 PM or so when we arrived, and there wasn't much left in the way of parking, so that's something to keep in mind. It's a "seat yourself" set up. They don't serve food, but you are allowed to bring in outside food. They also have food trucks outside fairly often. I'd say they have about 12 different beers on top, but they do sell cans and if there's one that you want that's not on tap, they will do a "can pour" for you. They also offer flights. The beer itself was pretty good. They were a couple that we tried that didn't quite hit the mark for us in terms of depth, but still very drinkable. Nice range of ABV as well. The staff was pretty friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was warm & it was a little loud, but not bad considering it's a brewery. Prices on par for other breweries in the area. And I noticed that they to offer some events such as trivia and live music. There is a calendar on their website that breaks this down for you. Overall, a nice find. We will be back!

There is a couch and several high top tables along with bar seating. There are a couple of big screen TVs, a "pick & pay for your song" machines, and a little cubby with a few games you can play. Beer selection was OK, but they also have a full bar. The bartender was still learning how to make some drinks, but did a decent job and the price point was fair. We had no intention of eating anything, but several of the item on the menu sounded quite tempting. They serve things like burgers, flatbreads and wings. Menu isn't huge. We struck up a conversation with the cook and he ended up bringing us out a sample of wings. They were delicious! I wish I hadn't eaten dinner already because I would've ordered more! Definitely makes me want to come back and try other things. Aside from the cook, the rest of the staff was super friendly. You can tell their heart is in it. I felt more like I was amongst friends than meeting people for the first time. Looking forward to coming back and trying more.

Huge portion, perfectly cooked chicken, and a great sweet-heat balance. One of those meals you're genuinely excited to eat again as leftovers. My wife had the beet salad with grilled shrimp and loved it--fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully put together. What really stood out is that while this place may feel like a bar, the food absolutely does not fit the bar-food profile. The quality and care are far above expectations. We were genuinely wowed and will definitely be back.

Lots of retro decor (think Slimer from Ghostbusters, Hulk Hogan pillow buddies, etc). The walls are lined with arcade games... bring your quarters! Whole variety of seating, from tables and chairs to circular booths, and the like. The perfect space to settle in for a bit, especially on a rainy weekend evening. We were greeted immediately and provided with a number of menus... and what a menu! Lots of comfort food options ranging from apps to entrees, and a number of sandwiches and burgers. I was vacillating between the hot dogs and a couple of the chicken sandwich's and ultimately selected the Cool Ranch Ray with grilled chicken, cheddar, bacon, and Ranch dressing. It was delicious! Unfortunately, the fries left something to be desired as they were fairly dried out and a bit tough to get down. Perhaps a bit less time in the fryer could have fixed that. Dessert was a nice cap to the meal with Nutella empanadas. Yum! PB & Jealous drink... divine. Our waiter Chris was moving and grooving... never seeming to stop for a second and always finding time to check in with us. Pretty certain he was behind the bar AND waiting tables and kept up with it all. Bravo! Fun evening, great food. Will definitely be back.
