Still great after visiting several times over the last 15 years. Hanger steak well seasoned and flavorful, salad was fantastic and their break is excellent. Frites arrived cold and not as great as year's past. Service and checkout was a breeze. Great value for high quality food and service. If you haven't been to Red Stripe add this place to your list. read more

I found one of the best dinner deals in Rhode Island Wednesday-Sunday: 2 entrées, 1 appetizer & 1 dessert for just $60. Here's everything we tried at Red Stripe! Prime Rib 10/10 Drinks 7/10 Crab cakes 6/10 Calamari 8/10 Steak frites 10/10 Honey salmon 8/10 Chocolate cake 7/10 Service - we had Aiden he was extremely sweet and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect Ambiance - the inside is very large with plenty of seating read more

The dinner for two is such an amazing deal! Everything was delicious and came out quickly. The steak was so tender and juicy, though the chefs butter was (I believe) gorgonzola or something similar, which could be polarizing. The fries were sooooo good, perfectly soft but crispy, and went well with the sauce on the side. We were seated in the back room next to the bathroom, which was a little odd because no one else was seated in the whole room, but our server was attentive. read more

This restaurant was very nice inside and in a cute part of Providence! Super friendly staff & quick service. The drinks were very good, the strawberry spritz was a special. We got the steak frites, which are a staple, and a definite recommendation. The bolognese was also very good! The bread is sourdough. The calamari was good, however, there was not as much meat compared to the amount of peppers. The cookie pie was delicious. Definitely a must go!! read more

We recently had another great meal at Red Stripe. I got their Cobb Salad a nice dish made with avocado, Gorgonzola, bacon, grilled chicken, hard boiled egg, cheddar, cherry tomatoes, arugula, mesclun, and a shallot Dijon vinaigrette on side....a nice value for about $16. My husband loves their Grilled cheese and tomato soup combo and for about $13 that was not a bad deal for a filling meal Great service, good food, great specials. read more

Dropped in for a meal. We dined in the back room which is less noisy than the area in front. The vibe is less exciting and less design - it could be improved. We ordered beers; a Red Stripe and a Corona. Then decided to share a couple of dishes. The Mariniere Mussel appetizer with a side of fries was just right- and tasty. The short rib ragu (our first time ordering this here) was rich and also tasty. We accompanied these with half Caesar Salad which was larger than expected. Our cheerful server, the young Annabel, flitted around and kept an eye out for us and was efficient too. All in all another good experience. read more

It has been a while since I had a dinner here. I am here with my friends. Great spot in Wayland Sq. Street parking is hard to find, but once inside, we were greeted with friendly staff and have us seated for our reservation. We started with some calamari and muscles. Our favorite is the classic fisherman's platter. This place has always been consistent in terms of service and food quality. This time was not exception. The atmosphere is pretty classy. A large dining area and the two bars - the main one and the smaller, more intimate one in the back. This is a place I would be happy to bring a date or my parents to have a great dinner. read more

Quite surprised by the critical reviews of the Red Stripe...It's a very classic restaurant I've been to countless times over the past decade that never disappoints. The food is great, the drinks are good...The service can be mixed, but the food and drinks always make up for it. Anytime I need a restaurant to go, Red Stripe is there and has a table available. It's a great old standby. If you're thinking of going, don't' hesitate. Few in their price range in Providence even come close. read more

Food is wonderful! Very cute spot and they are very accommodating! The ambiance is cozy but upscale.

We've been to Red Stripe once before for RI Food Fights #BestBurgerRI & it was my #1 burger that year. We've always wanted to go back & Providence Restaurant Week offered the perfect opportunity: $49.99 three-course dinner for two. We ordered an affordable bordeaux that paired nicely with both my steak & hubby's salmon. A little spicy with a fruity finish & a gorgeous ruby red color. You selected one of the six appetizers to share. When at Red Stripe, you gotta get the mussels! There are six different mussel options & on the recommendation of our server, we ordered the Mouclade: curry, garlic, shallots, white wine, finished with coconut milk. I need to go back to try the Poulette: parsley & chive, garlic, shallots, white wine, finished with cream. The crusty bread was perfect for dipping into the mussels broth. And yes, we drank the remaining broth from the bowl! I opted for the Steak Frites: 36-hour house-marinated 10oz grilled hanger steak topped with Chef's butter, over arugula, red onion, lemon vinaigrette & served with house frites. Everything about this dish was perfection! Steak was flavorful, frites were just the right amount of crispy outside & tender inside, surprise salad under the steak with a delicious lemon vinaigrette that cut through the richness of the meat. Hubby selected the Hot Honey Salmon: grilled salmon glazed with house-made hot honey, served with seasonal vegetables & citrus cilantro lime rice. It was a generous portion of salmon with a sweet glaze with a bit of spice. I didn't care for the seasonal veggies but the citrus in the rice was delicious. You selected one of two options for dessert: tiramisu or New York-style cheesecake. We were both pretty full by the time dessert came around so we weren't disappointed that the tiramisu was weirdly firm. I would have been much happier with a bowl of fresh strawberries & cream. Just sayin'. The food was great, server was delightful & the restaurant is gorgeous! NOM NOM NOM #YUM read more

The Good: service,location, parking and bread, the food was bad, it was fair, decided to go, because the short rib, that was delicious, however it was warm, meaning the mashed potatoes were room temp,I ordered the new entree on the menu, the lobster seafood, 2 small pcs of lobster and tiny scallops that came in a casserole dish, mine was all oil and separating the other same entree was orange/pink sauce no oil separating. I think if I go back again , I will stick to something basic. read more

Steak frites, short rib and cookie is to die for ! Service is great. Even better prices are reasonable!

Always good food. Great selections. A little loud in the front room but just ask to sit in the back. Parking is available on side streets. Prices are reasonable. read more

The only thing keeping this from 5 stars in the SERVICE. Our waitress was slow and snarky, likely new. But WOW was the food good. As were the chefs and manager. Very kind people. Food got out FAST, even on such a busy night needing reservations. The dinner for 2 is an absolute bargain! The mussels cles in the red stripe style (we've never done a cream base before) was so perfect and delicious. We ended up asking for bread to finish it off! My lobster mac and cheese (special) was so perfect, especially with that added fry sauce from the mussels (def add fries for 2-3$) The salmons were a bit under seasoned, the non hot honey version was wayyy better. Very high quality food for fair prices, wonderful ambience. Left without leftovers read more

Bustling for a Monday evening. Service was attentive and quick. They have a dinner special that comes with an app, 2 courses and a dessert for $59.99. That's a steal!! Calamari was great, came with marinara. We both had the steak frites which came with steak on a bed of greens, plentiful serving of thin cut fries and some type of creamy aioli. The cheesecake was great, had whipped cream and some blueberries/strawberries on the side. Def wanna try the meatballs next, saw the next table over have meatballs the size of a fist and they looked good!! Is a moderately priced spot depending on what you get. Didn't like the lemonade, was watered down and bland. read more

The drinks and food were very good! I had a pear cocktail that was very flavorful but not too strong. The truffle burger was very well cooked, and the huge side of truffle fries were delicious! My only complaint is that the mushroom that was on the burger was in one large piece and very chewy. I ended up taking it off of the burger, so it definitely lost a little something. My husband's schnitzel was well cooked and tasty too. The service was prompt but not overbearing at all. We waited a little long once we sat down but we were also tucked away in the corner in the back room. The drinks and food came pretty quickly. I was impressed with how reasonable the prices were too. Overall, a solid dinner option! read more

I had come here before but for dinner. My friend and I came here on a Wednesday for lunch and it was a very good time. Street parking was okay, there were a couple spots close by and a lot more a half to one block or so away. We made reservations just in case and I am glad we did since it did start to get busy at around 2 pm. We were seated by the large windows, which I liked since it brought in a lot of natural light despite it being a rainy day. I tried their berry mocktail and it was delicious, but I wish they had crushed the mint to bring out more of that flavor. As a starter, we shared their crispy artichokes which were flavorful and paired well with the sauce provided. As my entrée, I ordered the truffle burger with fries. The burger patty was delicious, especially the patty since you could really taste the grilled flavor. The mushroom was good, but was a bit tough, so I had to bite a little harder to avoid pulling it all out in one bite. I wish the red onion was cooked a little more for a caramelized flavor, but it was a good topping nonetheless. The arugula and tomato were fresh, and the goat cheese gave it a creamy touch. The buns were perfectly crispy. I was also really excited for the fries since they're on the thinner side, a bit oily, crunchy, wobbly, and overall, a combination of all the things fries should be. The truffle flavor was great, I wish there was more just because I love truffle, and next time I will ask for some parmesan on top. Our waiter was kind and attentive. I'm also glad this place is open on a Monday --when some places aren't. read more

Red Stripe is one of those classic seafood spots that just feels cozy and familiar. The portions are huge (seriously, come hungry), and the vibe is laid-back and homey. There's a small lot in the back for parking, otherwise it's all street. Staff is friendly, though some can be more of pushers. The best kept secret here is their prix fixe deal on Monday through Wednesday--$60 gets you 1 appetizer, 2 entrées, and a dessert to share. Such a great value and perfect for a date night or casual dinner with a friend. Seafood here is really fresh, and the menu leans hearty. I loved the fried seafood platter for the variety and crunch, and the mussel pasta was rich and packed with flavor. Overall, it's a great spot when you're in the mood for a hearty, satisfying seafood dinner that won't disappoint. read more

Red stripe is great. The food was delicious and their restaurant is always super cute looking. Our service that day was a touch slow, but that was only because they were super busy. The parking can be a little tricky if it's busy out but you'll always be able to find it if you just give it a minute. read more

I'm surprised to see this place has only 3.8 stars because the experience I had was nothing less than 5. It was my birthday and I wanted searched through Providence looking for scallops. I found Red Stripe and decided to reserve here and I'm glad I did. The restaurant itself is beautiful and in a lovely area of Providence. There's a small lot in the back and plenty of street parking. The staff immediately noted my birthday and did a great job making me feel special. I wish I had grabbed my waitress' name because she was excellent. We started with the crispy artichokes which were delicious. I had the fisherman's platter and there was an ample amount of food. The shrimp were colossal and easily my favorite of the three seafood options. My significant other had the schnitzel and has been talking about how good it was ever since. We then ended the night with a skillet cookie- complete with a candle! While I may not love the number I turned, Red Stripe helped me celebrate it in style. I highly recommend them! read more

It's been a while since I have been to Red Stripe and it's standing the test of time. We had a very nice dinner and the service was great. What I like most about Red Stripe is their unique menu. Not the same things you see at other restaurants. I had a grilled cheese with a very good tomato soup. The interior of the restaurant is very nice and has the feel of a European bistro. read more

Cute little place we found on a Saturday night because my best friend wanted crème brûlée... Lol! I know that seems like an odd reason to visit this restaurant, but it was worth the trip. I just got a very homey, cozy vibe here that made me feel welcomed & at ease. Liked the background music too; they were playing music by bands like Foreigner, Journey, and Styx. Everything smelled and looked delicious. And I saw no unhappy patrons. Our desserts were delicious; we got crème brûlée and tiramisu. We also ordered a few things from their bar, including espresso martinis & Irish coffees, all great and, in my opinion, better than the drinks we got earlier that night at a fancy restaurant in Providence. Price wise, I feel it's on par for other restaurants in this area. Staff was very friendly and service was prompt. Dining area and bathrooms were clean. Not loving the parking situation, but that's Providence for you! Hubby and I definitely want to come back and try their entrees! read more

We came here for dinner during the week. I love the bistro type deco and atmosphere. The front room is a little most busy, so we sat in the back room because it has a more cozy and quiet atmosphere. The service was good. I've been here more than once and the food has been consistent as has the service. They made us feel very welcome. I love the beef stroganoff, absolutely delicious. They didn't serve it the traditional Russian way with sour cream so I was sure to ask for it on the side! The tomato bisque was excellent, although slightly spicy. I also loved the tiramisu I had for dessert. I definitely recommend Red Stripe. read more

My husband and I recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary so we decided to have dinner at Red Stripe since it was a place we frequented when we were newly married. The braised short rib is in my personal top 10 favorite meals of all time and while this dish has changed slightly over time, it never disappoints. We had some appetizers; the buffalo cauliflower, which was undercooked and still crunchy, like eating raw cauliflower that had been breaded and tossed in sauce, and the Tuscan shrimp, which is a newer menu item, and was crispy and flavorful. The restaurant is really loud when it gets full, so just be mindful of that if you're looking to have a conversation with the other people at your table, especially if you're near the open kitchen because there's a lot of clanking and clattering from plates and pans being moved around. They also offer outdoor seating on the sidewalk, stools at the bar, and another room behind the bar if the main dining room isn't working for you. read more

As usual, a delightful dinner at Red Stripe! The Truffle Burger was absolutely perfect, with a special shout out to the mushrooms. The grilled cheese isn't your kid grilled cheese, this is a delicious adult take and is one of my favorite. I ordered with a side of frites instead of the tomato soup it typically comes with. The roasted half chicken was very nice, my husband likes the linguini and clams a bit better. We also ordered an appetizer of calamari which was excellent, not overly fried at all. Good service, great atmosphere. Enjoyed the meal very much! read more

I was craving a lobster roll so I walked here from my hotel (1.5 mì). Loud music playing at lunch. Quickly seated. Friendly server. Lobster roll was not acceptable. It was freezing cold and had shreds of lobster (I think that's what it was) and small pieces of claw meat. The fries were okay. I decided to cut my losses and asked for the check - didn't want to waste my calories. Server said don't worry about it. I walked as fast as I could to Hemenways and had a delicious lobster roll just like I like it. Warm, butter only, grilled bun. read more

Red Stripe is hands down our favorite restaurant in Providence. It is amazing how consistent they are. The food, service, and ambiance hit every single time. We dine here at least once a month. We had our engagement party here as well and our friends and family raved about the food, drinks, and service. The steak frites and mussels are a must! And the crème brûlée is great too. We love red stripe! read more

This review was sent directly thru the Red Stripe portal contact us page on 7/5/26 and 7/6/26 saying an error and then delivered. With no response after 7 days, we are assuming business is wonderful and you're above responding to customers complaints. We live in Boston and have dined at your locations and supported your businesses for well over 15 years. We dined there on Sat, 7/4/26. We can honestly tell you the quality and experience were not good; it started with bread that was delivered to the table burned not edible. The salads were ok, both main courses were delivered so hot and over cooked, the 1/2 chicken tasted like dried sandpaper. The Bolognese the pasta fell apart, the sauce was watered down tasted burned. These are our go to dishes every time we come there, unfortunately our regular server was off, she never would have allowed these plates to be delivered as such. Not a good look, definitely not a good experience. read more

This place is a reliable favorite in Wayland Square. We have enjoyed their mussels and salads on previous visits and they also have a nice bar where we've enjoyed strong cocktails. Today we stopped in for brunch. We did not have a reservation but walked in towards the end of brunch service and were able to score a nice table. Service was good and prompt- water glasses were kept filled, which I always appreciate. I had the avocado toast with two poached eggs. The avocado, sea salt and seasoning were great as were the tomatoes and greens. The eggs were a little cold, however, and the bread was a bit overly toasted, but all in all, the flavor was nice and it came out quickly. My fiancé had their croque madame, which he enjoyed. Drinks were the lower point of today's meal. I had a cappuccino which was well executed but super tiny- we ended up going over to Madrid after our meal and getting more coffee and dessert. My fiancé had their Bloody Mary but ended up sending it back because it had too much of a cocktail sauce flavor- apparently that is part of their signature mix. If you prefer a more tomato forward Bloody Mary, you might want to skip this. He then got a whisky sour which was very mid. We were surprised because usually the drinks we've had at the bar here have been really great. Nice atmosphere- the tile floors are gorgeous and I love that they have convenient hooks for coats and bags. Bathrooms were also very clean and well maintained. read more

I finally went to Red Stripe after living in the area for years. To start we split the truffle fries. I was a little disappointed with them because they were skinny and more crispy than I was hoping for. For the main I got the Braised Short Rib. This isn't a dish I get often, but I thought it was great. The meat was easy to take apart and chew and it was very flavorful. The vegetables and mashed potatoes it came with were also super satisfying. We enjoyed an outdoor table and people watching during the meal, and our server was great! He made several recommendations and was very on top of water refills. read more

Another excellent experience at Red Stripe! I've said it before and I'll say it again: Red Stripe has consistently excellent service and classic, dependable menu items done right. What I especially appreciate about RS is that they're willing to update the menu and offer new items and flavors while maintaining consistency and execution. Though typically I don't stray too far from the moules frites appetizers, this time we tried the Tuscan shrimp; and it did not disappoint! The flavor of the sauce was excellent, the shrimp were battered and fried to the perfect texture, and the presentation atop a bed of arugula was simple and pleasing. I highly recommend. In addition, I tried the fried chicken sandwich, and it was a gem! The thick, juicy pickle chips were a perfect complement for the spicy chicken. I would definitely order again. As always, excellent drinks, prompt and friends service, and a positive experience at RS. And, in the age of QR code menus, I highly appreciate the classic tall and sturdy menu booklet that RS continues to use. read more
