Just found my new favorite local spot LJ's It's one of those rare places that feels like a hidden gem right in the middle of the city. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, but there's always something going on, live music, karaoke nights, and even fundraisers that really bring the community together. The food absolutely delivers. The pizza is on point (perfect crust, great flavor), and the smashburgers are next-level. Juicy, crispy edges, everything you want in a burger. It's the kind of place where you can grab a casual dinner, hang out with friends, and end up staying way longer than you planned because the atmosphere is just that good. If you're looking for great food and a spot that actually feels like part of the community, LJ's is definitely worth checking out. read more

Made my way to Lj's Kitchen in Woonsocket today after passing it many times in the way to work. The parking lot is across the street and if you blink, you'll miss it. When you walk up to the door, the place seems small. Like a hole in the wall. Inside is anything but. Colorful murals, custom skateboard decks and modern art adorn the walls. Bright pops of color in between the TVs playing a variety of news and sports at the bar My friend and I were there for one thing: the 10" pub style pizza. I wasn't sure what style of pub/bar/tavern pie it would be but I was eager to find out. Our bartender was super friendly and quickly put in our order. We got two pizzas. One standard pepperoni and the other Chicken + Pickle. The pizzas came out ripping hot and smelling heavenly. The crust of these pies is more akin to a pan style pizza than what I would think of as a bar or tavern pie. It had that buttery crisp that reminds me of old school Pizza Hut (and I mean that complementary!). The sauce was a solid supporting character, the real star are the cheese and toppings here. It tastes and stretches like they use a blend of cheddar and mozzarella. The pepperoni was cooked to perfection. The cups pooling with oil and so crunchy. The chicken was quite tender and most on the other pizza, and the dill pickle taste was in full force, exactly as I was hoping! While I was hoping to find something like South Shore Bar Pie, what I did find was an awesome pub pan pizza in a spot that I've passed 100s of times. I'm glad I stopped in and I'll definitely be back. That pepperoni could not have been cooked any better read more

This was a great little find! I had the Irish pizza, it was great! The food was delicious. We liked the personal size pizzas and the kids loved the burgers. We ended the meal with fresh homemade cookies that were huge! read more

First time here after seeing all the great reviews. Vibe was ok. Food not as good as expected. Smashburger was 9/10 amazing. Quesadillas, soaked in oil. Not crispy on outside. Super bland. 1/10. Drinks strong and very good but food was a little disappointing. read more

Went here to try it out because I have heard great things about it. My husband and I went with another couple and three of us got smash burgers and one of us got chicken cutlet sandwich. All of it was great. Want to come back and try brunch as well as pizza. We will definitely be back and if you are reading this I suggest you give it a try. read more

Awesome burgers and wings.The staff is always friendly. We live only a few blocks away ,which is even better.

I just had my first experience. Ljs was recommended by one of my customers. I had to provide lunch for one of my accounts today and we had to feed the entire office staff. The order included a a wide variety of individual items including everything from salads, appetizers, burgers, poultry (entrees and wraps) , seafood, as well as dessert. Each and every item tasted as amazing as it looked. It's very obvious these people care deeply about what they do. Thank you for a wonderful experience and look forward to stopping regularly moving forward. Thanks to all of you (Erica, Kristin and Ryan) for an amazing lunch and first experience today! read more

I ordered a pepperoni and a Hawaiian. Pepperoni was 14.94. it's pricey for a bar pizza but acceptable considering it was littered with pepperoni and meat is expensive. Pepperoni was well done which is the standard and made the pizza look good! A little thick for a bar pizza and not crispy like a bar pizza but still tastes really good. Has a little zing from the cooked pepperoni. I feel almost 50.00 is a bit much for 2 pizzas that fees 4 people however there were no shortcuts when making the pizzas. The pepperoni's were cupped and crispy. I added crushed red pepper and it made the pizza taste perfect. As picky as I am if I'm looking for a bar pizza it woukd definitely be Lj's. If I were feeding a family id need about 5 of them. Great job over all. Thank you for taking the time to make the pizza memorable. read more

This was my first time trying out Lj's Kitchen and it was awsome! I met up with a friend and we order a couple of pizzas and they were absolutely delicious! We ordered 2-pepperoni and the chicken pickle. Both came out hot and fresh! the crust was buttery golden and reminded me of what Pizza hut used to serve! This place is a 10/10 and I will be back! the atmosphere was cool-murals and cool artwork on the walls, the whole vibe was chill, and the bartender was cool af! read more

My husband and I went for an early dinner last night, and we will definitely be back! I had the smash burger and fries and my husband had the fried chicken sandwich with house chips which we both thought were delicious! We also tried a cheese pizza and thought the flavor was good, but it was small and a little greasier than we like. The people were very friendly and attentive, it was affordable and they seem to have pretty cool specials that change on the regular. read more

We tried the smash burger and a pizza. We were not disappointed. Burger was flavorful and pizza was a good size for one person. (Totally forgot to take pics!!) Plenty of seats at the bar and around the bar. Seems they have quite a few regulars already. They do karaoke on Friday nights. Parking is on the street or across the street. read more

Great vibes, phenomenal food, friendliest staff I have met in all of New England. Definitely an amazing stumble-upon find. Service was fast, friendly, perfect attention to detail. My only complaint is I live a thousand miles away and won't be back here again for a long time. read more

Stopped in for a smash burger and it was excellent. One of the better that I've had recently. The staff were so nice and helpful. It was a Sunday so they only had the brunch menu available, but they asked the kitchen if they could make the burger off the regular menu. Good amount of parking and a bar vibe that was still very friendly for an 8 year old. Looking forward to trying their pizzas! read more

I stopped at Lj's Kitchen as part of the 2025 RI Food Fights Burger Blowout event. I remember being at this location when it was Black (which shut down last year) so I was curious to see what this new restaurant had to offer. It was pretty quiet for lunch on this day and there were plenty of seats at the bar. I asked for their Smashburger and fries. The service was good and the food came out in good time. The burger was tasty and I was very happy with my lunch. Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend this place to people in the area. read more

LJs is AMAZING! We will definitely be making it our new regular spot. The drinks are great ice cold beer, good margarita on specials. The food was even better, we had smash burger, BBQ chicken melt on specials, and a chicken bacon ranch - all DELICIOUS. we also got the pub nachos and they were also delightful. The owners are awesome great conversation and professional. Place was clean and cute cool paintings on walls and in bathrooms. We will so be back. Also plus for us - nice and cool in there and good vibes which makes it good to bring our 5 month old who gets hot and doesn't love a crazy environment. We're able to get some drinks and food and still have a comfortable baby big plus!! read more
