Our first stop in Providence. Ordered Hot Wieners to share. Meat sauce with onion was a match made…read morein heaven and tasted great. The wiener itself was cooked well with a nice snap upon first bite. The steamed bun was delightful. Coffee milk was sweet and an acquired taste. Enjoyed the throwback atmosphere of the interior as if we had briefly stepped back in time (to a more laid back era). The menu display (with prices) behind the counter was notably memorable.

Foo go to Nickerson after D'Abate school and go to Olneyville for snack. Sometimes Fountain Royale near Freeway but almost always get gaggers from Olneyville. Foo also sneak into Beer Hill Pub next to Anthony's and get small draft for 45 cent. Foo love being child and all hijinx in Olneyville. The Ling family love everything about Olneyville except hardware store close down. Foo decides to go back to old haunt like Foo is star of Welcome Back Kotter. Foo rides his new Porsche through Olneyville and Foo starts to cry a bit. So much change it scare Foo. Foo, me, the reviewer of this review, was with financial advisor from the Cayman and she ask Foo why so sad. "Foo, why so sad?" asked my money person. "It all change!"

And then, with that, Foo take deep breath and exhale and know money lady correct, forever means forever and Olneyville is always promised for tomorrow.

Attention hungry people that are scared of venturing into the Broad street/Elmwood Spanish areas in…read moreSouth Providence bc you think it is "dangerous," this newish Dominican cafeteria lunch spot is only one block east of Olneyville New York System next to Bank of America, just across the bridge from Federal Hill, so you can eat this kind of good ass Caribbean food without having to question your own personal racial/economic biases about what constitutes a "safe" neighborhood. Ahem. Anyhoo, the food is good, pricing is fair, this place is newer than most of the other similar restaurants in PVD. There's parking, but very limited seating so it's mainly a carry-out situation. The only reason sketchy experience I've had here is one other time I tried to visit, they shut down a 1/2 hour before posted closing time, I was super hangry, they had some food available, but the worker wanted to go home more than reopen the register and feed me. However, I haven't had issues since then and if the food stays this tasty, I'd probably upgrade to a 5 since they have specials that I don't often see elsewhere in PVD.

This Dominican cafeteria style restaurant is a extension of the meat market next door…read more Pretty convenient to have all you need for a restaurant to operate right in the same building. Pretty smart for the owners. So I'll eaten here quite a few times and their selections have the basics and a few different specials that usually is offered on a rotation of availability. Small dining area with a couple of tables. Primarily a take out establishment. The kitchen area is actually a larger floor space than the dining area so that means they prep and cook all day. Pretty busy the last few times I've stop by to pick up lunch on the road. That is a very good spot for a quick lunch and the selections are generally very satisfying. Definitely 1 of the better Dominican cafeterias around the neighborhood with a really good butcher shop next door and very convenient parking makes this an easy choice to make a break to Elwood Avenue so close to the the 95 exit. I recommend giving this restaurant a try if you're into the Dominican style food.

I also ordered the 10pc honey garlic wings and to drink, a strawberry and a blueberry lemonade. Mac N Cheese - Very dry, not bad tasting but definitely not creamy like I'm used to and I'm from the south. Collard Greens - Great taste, but nothing stood out about them. Not Amazing, but not bad. Cabbage - Cooked to perfection. No complaints. Yams - Again, nothing special, not bad, but not great. Cornbread - Good! Nice and moist. Honey Garlic chicken - Nothing really bad to say. I did enjoy the amount of sauce and that the wings were fried hard like I typically order them. Flavored Lemonades were amazing! If I do go back, it will be for those. I ordered from Door Dash, so I did not go in the establishment or get to interact with the employees.

Long Live The Ratty…read more Oh how I remember the days Of Freshman daily life, Eyes darting back and forth, Looking for a spot to sit, Avoiding eye contact with those So-called "athletes." The kind, warm-hearted workers, Enormous, cheesy omelettes, Greasy, hot-out-of-the-oven pizza, Crispy, Cajun-flavored fries... These are the things I will remember The Ratty by. But wait. Maybe it's The never-ending coffee milk, Or colorful array of veggies. The make-your-own panini station, Or sweet potato mash. The futuristic soda machine, Or delicious, hearty soup. Shh -- I hear something! Far in the distance, A quiet whir. Is that... A soft serve machine? Chocolate, vanilla, or swirl? Oreo crumbs or M&Ms? Bowl or cupped hand? The options are endless... Here at The Ratty. Take some food to-go. A bagel or toast. A bitter coffee. Maybe a plastic cup, Filled to the brim With your favorite cereal. The choice is yours, Here at The Ratty. Alas... Don't forget to clear your plates. Compost that food, And stack your dishes nicely, Lest you be looked down upon With scorn and disgust Here at The Ratty.
