Seafood sub (on their specials menu- $16)
Robin U.

Went there on a Friday evening with no resy. There were about 10 families ahead so we waited approx 40 min to be seated but we really didn't mind because I had heard good things. Once seated, everything was amazing, food service, I had no complaints. The portions were so good for the price. I had a seafood sub that came with fries for $16. And I ordered 6 on the half oysters for $14. It was delicious! The staff are super friendly too. I will be making my way there again soon.

We were looking forward to trying Lindy's Tavern, but sadly it just wasn't our thing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty full in the dining room and very loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices are very reasonable. We both ordered the seafood chowder and we both didn't like how thick it was. My partner got the linguine with clam sauce and I ordered the seafood salad roll, we thought both of our dinners were good but nothing special.

Finally made it to Lindys Tavern in North Smithfield, RI -- just under 30 minutes from Worcester & right off 146! Sunday's special is a $7.50 Bloody Mary topped with a huge shrimp, & it did not disappoint We started with a generous portion of crispy calamari, then dove into our entrées -- he had the 2lb stuffed lobster with a baked potato & butternut squash, & I went for the turkey dinner. Everything was seasoned perfectly & absolutely delicious! Don't forget to try the cornbread, some of the best I've had. Also, huge shoutout to Becca & the crew for their seamless, top-notch service from start to finish We left full, happy, & definitely planning to return!

This is leftovers after 2 people ate lol

I am happy we gave this place a shot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is not a lot of signage but once you find the building you are good to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is large with lots of seating options including outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is also a separate building out back that I was told is a bar with bands![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was quick and friendly. Our waitress was confident and competent. I appreciated how fast she got things without making us feel rushed. Now the food. We started with a stuffy (stuffed quahog a RI specialty) we got it Portuguese style with a spicy sausage inside. It was delicious. I didn't want to share but i did. The filling was flavorful and it had just enough heat. We got the calamari RI style. It was tender and tossed in garlic butter with hot pepper rings. It was great the only negative for me was it was served with cocktail sauce instead of marinara. I'm sure they would sub it if asked. So no points deducted. Main course we shared a fisherman platter. It came with a giant piece of fish, 3 fried shrimp and a bunch of fried clams and bay oysters. Coleslaw and tarter too. We subbed o-rings for fries. 2 of us couldn't finish this plate. So much food. The oysters and shrimp were tender and delicious. The clams were clean but a tiny bit chewy. That's the case with clams so I wouldn't call it a drawback. The fish had a cornmeal batter. I do prefer a beer batter but this fish was delicious. Flaky and white with a nice crispy outside. Tartar was typical and slaw was nice. One of the better ones I've had. Overall super great seafood. We loved this place and will definitely be back. .

Colossal lobster roll
Lauren P.

Second visit was nothing like my first. Actually ended up the same table with the same waitress. Ordered the colossal lobster roll because I loved it so much the week before and I got served the small one. I said I ordered the colossal and my waiter said nope you ordered the regular one. We also got clam cakes and chowder and they were all just warm, nothing was hot.

Stuffies in the front and fish and chips (onions rings for me) in the back

Lindy's was a 5 star for me! I was in the area for a work event and walked in the door 5 til 9pm. I could tell they were starting to clean up so I asked if the kitchen was open. They said until 9pm. I said okay never mind because I didn't want to be "that guy" the staff insisted that if I could order in 5 minutes it was no big deal because the bar was open until 10pm. Anyway, I proceeded to order the stuffies (seafood mix stuffed in clam shells) and fish and chips (I opted for onion rings). While I waited for my food the bar staff was polite and conversational and serve me some cold local beers. Then the food came out. The fish was the size of Shaq's shoe, and tasted amazing. All in all, I had a great experience and wonderful food. 5 stars!

The food is good bar food. Choice of steaks, seafood and pasta dishes. They usually have daily specials. They have reasonable pricing.

Where is the new location? Yelp is still showing 82 School Street in Forestdale, but I notice that another establishment is now at that address.

98 School Street... just up the road

What is the best time to come on a Sunday? Does it slow down any particular time? Does a packed parking lot necessarily mean a packed bar? Is there a hostess system now in the new bldg?

Sunday's can be hit and miss, especially if it's a 'game' day. So, with that in mind... you may want to go early before any games, or pretty late. The parking lot is huge, along with the bar area, if you don't want to go in to find out, either… 

When is the new location opening?

It's open now!

Came in late night with some friends after an event and they had karaoke! The staff was friendly…read moreand quick. The drinks were solid! I didn't try any of their food but my friends enjoyed their burgers! The decor is crazy but fun!

Stopped by the Downstairs for on a recent evening out with friends and I'm happy to report it's…read moreabsolutely worth the visit! On entry, you're enveloped in fun atmosphere. 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.

I've been dying to try this restaurant after seeing reviews and finding out it's chef owned (yes!)…read more We had reservations on a recent Saturday afternoon at 3pm. The restaurant is small (only seats 48) so reservations are recommended. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable, there wasn't very many people while we were there so I'm not sure how loud it gets when busy. They have a full bar so I ordered a drink and my husband loves his craft beers and they had a few (but he always prefers if they have a beer menu so he can read the beer description). For appetizers we ordered shrimp cocktail and the meatball. The shrimp and sauce were delicious, and the meatball was HUGE (we almost could have a meal with that!!! The meatball came with lots of sauce and ricotta with 2 toasted bread slices (we devoured every bit!). For dinner we shared 2 entrees, we got the seafood casserole which came with choice of side (we picked baked potato) and a vegetable medley, and the southern fried pork chops that came with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The food was so delicious we ate what we could and had to bring food home. Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable of the menu. This was one of the best places we've tried in a while. We eat out at least weekly and most places we don't go back for a second visit, but Lucky Dog Tavern will definitely stay on our rotation of places we love.

The food- mediocre at best…read more The ambiance- Dirty old corner pub with thrown together tables and makeshift dividers. Service- Extremely inadequate, if not outright rude. The owner's wife must be paying people in free drinks for the reviews. There's absolutely no way they are organic.
