What a great place! In town visiting a grad school with my daughter and saw that there is a Dinner for Two special here on Mondays and Tuesdays. It was so much food! But oh so good!

3/23/25. Sunday: Amazing! Sweet Waitress. We had a couple of Tito's dirty Martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives. Shared a full order of the Moules Frites Moulade and a Truffle burger. Really tasty and enjoyable! Manager stopped by to talk to us about our experience-- nice! Relaxed neighborhood ambiance. Recommended! read more

Visiting Providence for the weekend and stopped in for an early dinner and drinks. Atmosphere is bar/diner-like with a terrific oldies dance playlist playing in the background. The Old Wayland Square (Vieux Carre) - boozy. Hit the spot. Deviled eggs - nice flavor. The bacon a nice bit of crunch and flavor contrast. Cobb salad - delicious. Not too heavy and a very good ratio/blend of ingredients. Prices are reasonable and the window is perfect for people-watching. Highly recommended! read more

Came to Red Stripe for a 2nd time as my dad and I dined here last year. This year we had a good lunch for Father's Day. Service was great, super attentive and helped explain a question or two on the dishes. We started with calamari, which was on the small side but good. The calamari itself was not the most amazing ever, but that may be a product of seasonality or supplier, not the fault of the restaurant. It was nicely fried, with the fried coating dry and crispy (not oily or soggy), and not super thick batter which was good. The calamari was was served with some peppers and some marinara on the side. Good stuff! I ordered the Red Stripe burger which was good. Very melty havati cheese and guacamole. Burger was huge, maybe over 4" wide. It was cooked slightly over to medium well (ordered medium), but still very juicy and flavorful. Not the strongest beef taste, but not bland either. Instead of fries I got a spring house salad with dijon dressing which was massive, very fresh, very tasty. My dad ordered a salad with lobster meat which was also massive, and he said the lobster meat was fantastic. It looked like he got maybe 1/2 lb of lobster meat, just by my eye. We both were not super stuffed, although satisfied so we still ordered dessert. He had creme brulee and I got tirimisu. The dessert servings are small but good. The tirimisu was not amazing, but still was of high quality and tasted great. Overall would come back here anytime. A restaurant that seems steady in their offering, with a menu that can suit a lot of different food preferences. Nice location, good service, fair prices. What more can you ask for? read more

Had dinner with my amazing wife last Monday evening. First let me start with our waitress Kaylee. She gave us the best customer service experience in a very long time. We decided to share a Caesar salad, the calamari, and the short rib beef stroganoff. The Caesar salad was extremely fresh, and she has the cooks divide the portions onto two plates for everything. The calamari was good. I asked for a side of tartar sauce, instead of the marinara which she accommodated. And the stroganoff was heavenly creamy and decadent. After our meal, I excuse myself to go to the restroom, and I went up to the waitress and asked her about the desserts told her it was my wife's birthday week, and I chose the crème brûlée. She put a candle in it, and my wife was surprised. The crème brûlée was one of the best I've ever had. Normally, it's very busy in there and very loud, but it was pretty quiet and we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. We love the ambience there. I highly recommend red stripe for food, service, and cleanliness. read more

GOOD TOMATO SOUP & GRILLED CHEESE ================================== Our group of four stopped in for lunch on Thursday, January 29, 2022. I got the basic combo and it was good. I didn't take a photo, but there are plenty on their page. My husband liked the French Dip, but the fries were horrible. The were really greasy. My brother-in-law loves their French onion soup. It looked good. Definitely pass on the buffalo cauliflower. Cute place and the prices are good. Love the Wayland Square area. read more

Our Rumford family took us for dinner there and it was great. Decent fish n chips, fresh fish, delicious fries but a giant portion. Bro-in-law had the fried seafood platter, enormous, but he made it through not eating most of the fries. I tried the red stripe grilled cheese that contains poached pears and loved dipping it in the tomato bisque soup, yum! Our vegetarian sister had a beautiful salad, supplemented by fries from others. We all saved room for ice cream at another of their fave venues, Three Sisters. read more

I just had the best experience here. My dear friend who got great news about her cancer status, so that may have set the stage, but we never felt rushed and were treated as though we were truly valued. Our server, Sadie, was very attentive and funny and accommodating. I got short rib stroganoff and the best margaritas, patron, triple sec, and lime juice. Absolutely lovely. We sat there for 2 1/2 hours. We tipped accordingly, but the whole experience was amazing. Just a great overall vibe really good food served really hot and we indulged in tiramisu and cappuccino for dessert. Sadie made the whole evening very memorable. read more

Always on the top of the list for a lunch visit or meeting. Good food, accommodating staff, and good prices. Definitely get the frites!! Tables are a bit close and it can get a bit loud so if you are going with people with hearing issues ask for a table in the back. read more

Visited with my 21 year old daughter as part of RI Food Fight's burger challenge. We were seated in the back room, which was lovely and peaceful. Service was perfect and the burgers were out of this world! Definitely a top contender for our votes. We also had sangria and crème brule, which were amazing as well. read more

Been here many times over the years, and they just don't disappoint. I wish they still had the Croque Madame... so yummy. But still, the best steak frites around. I will sing their praises from the rooftops. Service is great and parking is doable. Great lunch option! read more

We had a reservation for 7:30 on a Tuesday. They were putting us in the back room, and we requested the front since there were tables open. I don't think it was unreasonable, but they said no and we didn't push it. The service we got after that was terrible, there was a bro waiter who made great initial contact, got our drink order, super friendly, and then just forgot about us. After about 20 minutes someone else came, apologizing for the long wait, and took our order. We never saw her again. Finally we got someone steady, a younger Asian woman who was nice and very helpful. But we were there for 2 hours. I like long meals, but this was because of poor service. The food: The broth in the moules was very good. I recommend the bread, it was also really good, though it came long after it should have. The lobster salad? Nothing special, could have been anything. The steak and frites was fine for the money ($32). The frites: Half our table had frites on it. They were all luke warm and soggy. They should have better frites game if they're going to serve them with so many dishes. Anyway, overall this place is over rated, we felt poorly treated. I wouldn't be surprised if the wait staff culture is toxic. read more

Lots of great food! My dad enjoyed his steak frites and my grilled salmon was quite great. The big highlight was the mussels though. The broth they come in is so so good I genuinely think the best thing to order at this restaurant is just an appetizer plate of mussels and a side of bread to soak in it. Service was fine. It's very casual feeling, which was surprising for the price point but might be plus! read more

Red Stripe - Grilled Salmon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Looking back on our experience here, I have to say I was underwhelmed. There's a total lack of anything like this here in Providence, that is, an unassuming brasserie when you can have a "nice" dinner that doesn't require a reservation and that didn't ever encounter a microwave. The night we were in we ordered four different entrees for our four diners, along with an appetizer. Only one was truly delicious, and it was a dish of pasta with meat sauce. Everything else was forgettable, at different temps, under-seasoned and definitely not worth the price of admission. I had the braised short rib, which people seem to talk about and the waiter recommended. It arrived with the most peculiar texture. It was essentially a slab of meat with a piping hot, dry exterior from being reheated--and a cool inside. The sides, carrots and mash, had not been seasoned in any way. It was just a dud. I'll say this about Providence: it's strange that we've had so many dining experiences here, in the shadow of Johnson & Wales, that are so poor. This type of food--French brasserie cooking, which is all about things that are simple to prepare and hold for many diners across many seatings--is the core of almost all culinary programs. Omelettes and mash are like day one stuff. It's just a shame that this is what we have. read more

If you're looking for classic American fare, this is the place for you. The menu has all the hits(see below). We ate outside and enjoyed a lovely early Saturday evening. Our server, Eric, was excellent. It was our first time at Red Stripe and he had plenty of great recommendations for us. I ordered a spicy margarita which was well executed, but had a little too much ice in the glass which watered it down. We shared the truffle fries to start. They were thin and crispy and had a nice aioli dipping sauce to go with them. I got the lemon rosemary half chicken, it was cooked well and came with creamy mashed potatoes. We'd definitely return to try other things on the menu! read more

It is a continent place to stop for dinner. It is good pub food. I frequently order the fish tacos or the bowl of chowder. It is a comfortable place to stop for lunch or dinner. Their signature tomato soup and grilled cheese is also great. read more

Bon appétit. Red stripe is magnificent.. it's an american take on the classic French brasserie. With its black and white tile floor, wine red walls and white table cloths it feels elegant with a relaxed vibe. Their French onion soup was perfect. The mussels were so good that I asked for bread to make sure I could enjoy the sauce to the last drop. The gentleman waiter Eric made sure we were well taking care of. He was an outstanding server. This was a great find and I was extremely impressed with red Stripe. Bien joue Red Stripe read more

See my previous review - have been here dozens of times, only because it's closest to my house, but it never fails to disappoint. Had a hankering for a burger today. Should have known better, because I've never had one cooked right here. Ordered medium and it was beyond well done and bone dry. Was starving and it was late so didn't say anything and the server didn't give me a chance by asking how it was. Stick to drinks here. And if you want a burger in the hood, go to McBrides or Ivy Tavern. read more

Red Strip is one of my favorite restaurants not only in Providence but the state. It's very close to my home (which is a benefit) but I was even coming here before I moved nearby. The food here has always been fantastic. Last time I was here I had the onion soup and I had this delicious stuffed lobster dish which left me very full and satisfied. The service here has always been great, never had an issue with the staff, and any issues we did have they took care of right away. read more

Wow wow wow....let me say I am far and few to write reviews however this place knocked it out of the park. We came here for my husband's birthday, his fave meal is Chicken Parm and the reviews were on point. He gave it an A review (he is a hard one to please at restraunts) We had the mussels with frites, deviled eggs, cesar salad, my son had the tortellini, i had the short rib...chef's kiss muah! Delicious! The drinks were also fire, pumpkin martini?! Tis the season yas please! But! What will 1000% bring us back was Ariana our waitress!!! She was on point and quick and so personable. My 6 year old and her were bffs she even started a game of tic tac toe with him, and as busy as she was managed to interact and play a few rounds without missing a beat. So impressed I asked to speak with the manager to tell him how absolutely amazing she was! We will definitely be back! read more

We got them delivered through Uber eats and honestly they were very good for delivery. I can imagine how much better they would be in person, fresh and hot. We ordered a few things. Salmon, steak, fries (frites), buffalo chicken dip, Tuscan shrimp, and a salad. Everything was good. My only complaint would be the chicken dip barely had cheese. I had to add cheese and microwave it for it to be a dip. Other than that, everything was flavorful and yummy. We are definitely ordering again! read more

Steak Frites entree was amazing. People with us also got the muscles which were fantastic. The calamari was good but could have used a little more breading for a chrisper taste + the squid itself was slightly chewy. Overall would come back! The staff was excellent and very knowledgeable of the menus. read more

Went to Red Stripe for my birthday, 6 people. Super easy to book, midweek dinner, not super busy inside. Easy! Pleasant! Loved our waitress, lovely, attentive, super nice! Few hiccups, still excellent. Probably my favorite style - attentive, sharp, quick. She made the celebration even more pleasant and I appreciate it. We were a larger group, and I didn't love the table we sat at. At least in my opinion. It was also a bit cold for me. Food: tasty... I am too spoiled after years in NYC, it is incredibly hard to impress me. I liked the muscles & fries quite a bit! Will come back but for an appetizer portion or to share. Short rib was tasty. Beef Stroganoff probably used the same beef, at least it looked the same. Ratatouille Ravioli looked great, will order them next time. Fish & chips - fish didn't impress me. Last but not least, Crème Brûlée was excellent! Overall, great restaurant, we'll be back! read more

After a impromptu wedding at Roger Williams park the six of us were welcomed into the beautiful warm dining room with red themes and black and white tile floor the dining room features a open kitchen that you could see was clean and tidy our waitress greeted us and after a round of Prosecco we all were ready to order our food the bacon blue burger was cooked to and frites reminded me of old school diner fires twice fried crispy on the outside soft and fluffy on the inside the short rib grilled cheese was thick and savory pairing with the tomato bisque that compliments a classic grilled cheese turned up to eleven with the amazing flavor of the slow braised short ribs red stipe is a tremendous restaurant can't wait to be back read more

This place has pretty good ambiance. Nice servers, clean restrooms. I'll start with the meals.. We were disappointed with the red stripe grilled cheese, I thought it would be something special, but it just tasted like regular grilled cheese, didn't have any other flavor. The tomato soup was pretty good, nice and savory. Another one of us got the mussels and fries. The muscles she got were pretty good, and the fries. A very big portion, probably could share it between two people. Lastly, we had the veggie burger. Also pretty good but I got the truffle fries and they did not have any truffle flavor. Not shown was the buffalo cauliflower which was our appetizer and those were also pretty good. We got charged $3 for bread, which was kind of annoying. I went here a different time for lunch with my dad who loves calamari, and he did say it was the most tender calamari he's ever had. He was impressed. read more

I think Red Stripe is tasty, but the service on my last visit was really bad. I checked in with the hostess and she let me know some of the part was already seated and just pointed to the large dining room. I had to go back searching for my friend, for this price point of a restaurant I would expect a better experience to start. While our server was friendly I think he had too many tables and it just took forever for him to come over, then forever to take orders, etc, etc. We ended up being there way later than planned because of the wait. The food! My husband use to live right around the corner and he basically only orders the spaghetti and large meatball. He loves it! I think its pretty good, but don't necessarily love it as much as he does. We also ordered the lobster roll, they did not skimp on lobster, the sandwich was overflowing and tasty! The fries also made a great appetizer! Parking was easy since there are alot of little side streets around the restaurant! read more

Why did it take us so long to come here?! I've been on the lookout for a restaurant in Rhode Island that's similar to my beloved college haunt, Boston's The Paramount, and I think I just may have found it at Red Stripe! This unassuming and venerable Wayland Square brasserie offers a snappy menu of French and New American favorites, all at millennial-friendly prices. We visited last night for a late dinner, and even though it was midweek, the place was hopping! Luckily, the hostess was able to seat us in the main dining room, which was decked out with kitschy red vinyl booths and a cool black and white checkered tile floor that appeared vintage. The dining room is kind of dated, but it's very cozy and a wonderful refuge on a chilly fall evening. There's also a separate room which houses a full service bar and high top tables for more intimate gatherings. Service was pleasant and efficient - I wish I could remember the name of our server, because she was awesome! Don't worry, we'll definitely be back, and I will update the review to thank her again. She was great and added to the fun and friendly atmosphere! There's something for everyone on the menu, so Red Stripe is a good choice for group dining. We started off with some of their signature Mussels, prepared in French style with a light, garlicky broth. The half-order appetizer portion is only $10, and even if you share between two people, you'll barely have room for your entree! My best friend and I were stuffed after that! The soft sourdough bread served with creamy unsalted butter is perfect for sopping up any of the leftover broth. I wish the bread was served hot, though. That would have really made the starter remarkable! I also got a side Mixed Green Salad, which came with a dressing that was a bit heavy on the dijon for my taste. I think I'll swap that out for one of the other dressing options next time. I can't believe we even had room for entrees after such a generous and tasty appetizer! We both went for chicken in different preparations: I went with the Grilled Chicken Paillard and my best friend got the Roasted Half Chicken. I really enjoyed my entree, as the chicken was moist and flavorful, and the Spiced Butternut Squash side was TO DIE FOR! If you visit during the fall, you must get some! It was buttery, sweet, and comforting... I almost ordered a second portion! The Half Chicken looked good as well, but I prefer boneless chicken for ease of disshemblement on the plate. My best friend raved about the pan jus that was served alongside the chicken as well. Yum! We skipped dessert (sad trombone), but I definitely have my eye on one of their skillet cookies for when we come back! Instead, I got a hot chai tea from the extensive selection of Tazo brand teas, and it was a wonderful way to round out the meal. Bonus points for the presentation of the tea selection in a cute wooden box! The meal was actually quite affordable - totaling less than $60 for everything, and the deal of the evening was really the $10 Mussels, which you shouldn't miss out on! I have been waiting to try this restaurant for a long time, and I definitely have to say that "Yay! I'm a total fan of Red Stripe!" read more

This restaurant is spacious. I had the chicken parmesan, which is hand breaded 8oz boneless chicken breast, served on a mountain of linguine, with house-made marinara, mozzarella & Parmesan cheese. This was a huge portion and very tasty. My husband had the baked french onion soup and lentil buddha bowl. The soup had lots of caramelized onions, Gruyère cheese, crouton. The buddha bowl has french lentils, baby mixed greens, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled vegetables, fresh avocado, hard boiled egg, dill vinaigrette. It came in a big bowl and the ingredients were fresh. I also had a lavender lemonade and unfortunately it was disappointing because it was full of ice and not much of the drink. read more

Thank you for a great birthday dinner. read more
