    Lulas Fritas

    Wonderful food and kind, attentive service. Unfortunately we did all get food poisoning it was ALMOST worth it...

    $8 Chicken wings and free bread

    One of my favorite Portuguese places for food. You'll get an abundance of food for a low price. Not a fancy place at all but I give it 5 stars for the food.

    The pork chop special was special indeed
    Theresa R.

    Real Portuguese home cooking! My coworkers and I ordered five meals and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. The kitchen is also very accommodating when ordering an off-menu dish as long as they have the ingredients on hand. Our meals were hot, fresh and prepared with quality ingredients and love. This will surely be a staple from now on.

    The food was good! Generous portions. My Dad is from Sao Miguel and enjoys the menu and ordering in his native tongue. It's in a basement and it's not cute. Service was very slow. Only one server and runner. Could use some music? Table cloths? First time customer and I don't really want to go back.

    Wings

    Nothing fancy about this place but the food is good. Located in a residential neighborhood in the basement of an event hall, def worth driving to. The restaurant is located on the left hand side of the building with an adjoining parking lot. When you get in, you pretty much can seat yourself. I believe they have a bar area too. This visit, we started with the wings and ordered the grilled porkchop special and pork Alentejana for dinner. Although a bit on the small side, the wings were nice and crispy and came with a dipping hot sauce and pickled veggies that I didn't really care for. The porkchops simple but oh so delicious and came with a side of rice and fries (I didn't have to choose, I got them both!). The Alentejana is very tasty simmering in a wonderful savory sauce. There was more than enough to take home for leftovers. The service is friendly but a bit slow at times if there are several other customers. The few times we've come here, there were only 2 waitresses working the place. We like coming here b/c it's a no frills, belly filling joint that is very easy on your wallet. My special only ran me $13! No complaints here.

    You always hear of places being "authentic" or "like home" which, to me, carry certain expectations. Phillips St Restaurant is a place that carries such a description and, until recently, was a place I hadn't even heard of. That combination pushed it up the list of places I needed to check out. The girlfriend and I visited on a whim and immediately upon entering you felt like you were walking into someone's spacious basement kitchen in the heart of Fall River or the Azores. Men and women were eating, talking and laughing loudly which if you've ever been to a Portuguese gathering, isn't an uncommon scene. The decor was dated, and what you'd expect from a place located in the basement. No one was around when we walked in. There's always that awkwardness of do I sit or do I wait, eventually we just sat. The service was certainly attentive going forward, and our drinks and order were taken quickly. We ordered the grilled chouriço, the bife Phillips St, and the carne de porco Alentejana. Basically the house steak which I ordered with Portuguese potatoes over French fries and marinated pork with roasted potatoes and little necks. The chouriço had some spice, nothing crazy, the flavorful kind and was well grilled. The steak dish was large and the sauce from the steak was very good. The egg yolk was soft and runny which is a must because you need to sop that up, right? The pork was well cooked as well and the sauce was equally tasty. I didn't care as much for the roasted potatoes with it. They were ok, just lacked crispness and freshness to me. All in all, I don't think they'll be pushing my mom into permanent retirement cooking wise, but the food really is very good, and if you like Portuguese cooking and haven't been, you really should. The prices are beyond reasonable and you won't leave hungry.

    Bitoque with potatoes and veggies

    This is another place that I had forgotten about. We went here for a family birthday party and there were 21 of us so it was a place that would take reservations for a large group on a Friday night. The food is good but not fantastic. I think that it is not as flavorful as some other Portuguese restaurants in the area but it was well cooked. The service was excellent and the people were very kind. We have a number of children with us and they were very accommodating to that. We were surprised to have music with our dinner. There was a man who played guitar and sang and he was delightful. It was pretty busy there and yet the service was quick, especially for having such a large party. The littlenecks in garlic wine sauce were very good. And the sauce itself was so good for dipping with the Portuguese rolls. The steaks were good and they offered veggies instead of the typical rice or potatoes that you would get both of. It was nice and I would definitely return

    THIS WAS IN MY SOUP TONIGHT..

    Great local find. The restaurant has since been renovated since the previous review. Looks beautiful, bright & clean. Food is awesome. Had apps and drinks. Sauteed shrimp and calamari are great. The sauces are wonderful. Dip your bread and enjoy! Hours of Operation: Mon, Wed, Thu, 11:30am - 9pm Fri, Sat, 11:30am - 10pm Sun, noon - 6pm Please note - closed on Tuesdays.

We both ordered the Classic Smash Burger, one with cheese and one without. Unfortunately, both burgers were utterly tasteless, with virtually no seasoning detected at all. The Chomp Sauce that was supposed to elevate the burger was so sparse it barely made an appearance, leaving the burgers bland. Honestly, the bun was the best part. The brussel sprouts I ordered also lacked flavor and seasoning aside from the char, and his Cajun fries were so salty they were nearly inedible. After driving from Massachusetts to Rhode Island as a special Mother's Day treat, it ended up being a very disappointing experience, especially given the overwhelmingly positive reviews. We may have caught them on an unusually busy night, but unfortunately our meals fell far short of our expectations.

The drink, Fuchsia Butterflies ($15), was made solarium gin, house-made lemoncello, with a Gran Classico & Violet Rinse. It was quite excellent. I had a sip to try (I am usually not one for cocktails) and enjoyed the taste. Perhaps I will try cocktails in the future. For food we shared curry moules frites, well done, just how I like them, and salt and vinegar Wings - tasty but too salty which detracted from the dish. We ended with a good chocolate mint creme brûlée. The check came to $80 to which we added a decent tip for our friendly server, Triston. We have always enjoyed the vibe and cozy environment of this place and are sure to return.

Lastly, the steak was also seasoned well with crispy potatoes to go with it. The steak was a little overcooked from my request of medium rare, but that was the biggest miss of the night, which was minor. The service was also great. The bartender was clearly very busy and was still attentive and prompt. Overall, a great meal and we will definitely be back (probably with a reservation)!
