    Decided to stop in while wife at a yoga class. So only at bar but the beer selection was very good and tried the crab cakes. Very good. Bartender (Darryl?) was very nice and helpful on draft beer choices. Tried the crab cake appetizer and very good. Looking forward to trying a meal there

    We have been here several times now. Last night I had the lobster lettuce wraps, my fav. Hubby had lobster roll. He thought it was heavy on the mayo, I didn't feel the same about my dish. Tater tots and fries on point. Staff was friendly and attentive. I had the pepper infused tequila cocktail. Love the bite it has. Solid cocktail selection. Get there early (by 530) or be prepared to wait. Large bar if you can scoop up a seat. Burgers look good but we haven't tried. They also offer a variety of sausage dishes Definitely recommend, worth a visit , or a drive.

    I went on a Thursday when they have half priced oven baked pastas so I tried the Penne and House-Made Italian Sausage - it was DELICIOUS. We did not have to wait long for our food as it was served quickly after we ordered. The Tater Tots came highly recommended and they lived up to the hype - the dipping sauces were excellent. I didn't have a chance to try a cocktail this trip but the options on the cocktail menu looked unique and I'm looking forward to trying one on my next trip. Their rewards program is also great and works for any of their sister restaurants as well.

My husband and I got the honey pepperoni pizza, and it was very delicious and huge pretty spicy too! We were able to take some home! My brother got a pulled pork burger, and he really liked it with his fries. Pretty sure he also got loaded fries. He enjoyed it so much he didn't leave not one crumb on his plate, lol. My cousin also got a hamburger and fries, and she thought it was delicious! They also got beers, and everything was pretty good and fairly priced. When I'm around this area, I'm definitely going to come back to this location due to the food itself. Location: This location is huge, and it had inside and outside seating with lots of tables! It's pretty casual, more so a sports bar-type of setting. Pretty nice to bring family and friends to grab a bite or even go on a casual date. They also had private parking, which makes things a lot easier! Service: Service was great. Our waiter was super nice, brought everything in a timely manner, and asked if we needed anything, very attentive. I'm usually not around this area, but when I am, I'm definitely going to stop by to grab a bite here!

Going after many years and in a different point in my life, I appreciated the nostalgia of still having the tree room with canopy on the wall.

From a faraway place where a majority of the population would prefer…read moreto have everyone who speaks Spanish (that they don't personally know) thrown into concentration camps simply for existing, so the choices of this style of food there are thin, at best. There are one or two restaurants that are passable for the area and would probably be a solid 3-3.5 out of 5. This place is a 5 out of 5. This place could be a 6 out of 5 compared to my local restaurants. And believe me, I took nearly two years of Spanish in high school, so I know a thing or two about a thing or two. I ordered fish tacos and my wife ordered the enchiladas verde (green) as takeout. When I got to the restaurant, I was greeted by three (tres) lads whereby one of them promptly handed me my order. When I pulled the food out of the bag back at the hotel, I was greeted with an absolute masterpiece of culinary art, the fish tacos. The red cabbage slaw covering the tacos, mixed with the sauce was beautiful (bonita) and vibrant. The enchiladas verde looked just as good, but were less vibrant in presentation. It seemed like the chefs cared about the product they were serving to their customers. The rice that came with the enchiladas had a great consistency and not dry at all - I can't stand dry rice. My wife said the enchiladas themselves were flavorful and seasoned very well and not the "suburban white lady" kind of seasoning. However, she doesn't write the reviews - I do - so I will talk about the fish tacos. There were three of them and I got them made with the corn tortillas (tortillas). Any fish taco I have ever had has always been small nuggets of fish smattered through the taco. These bad boys were absolute units where the entire bottom of the taco was one large fried piece of haddock, covered in a somewhat tangy sauce, and topped with red cabbage. The sauce and red cabbage made for a bit of a messy meal, so be prepared to get your hands dirty if you order this. I would not recommend getting these (or the enchiladas) if you had to drive down US Route 1 at the apparent local speed limit of 75 miles per hour and expected to just chow on some tacos while doing so. By the way,, what's with that, RI drivers? It's not the Autobahn. I had a RideOn bus 5 ft from my bumper while doing 70 on there yesterday. Calm down (or should I say 'clam down', amirite?). Anyway, this food was very good and next time I am in town, I would like to go there and sit down to eat while trying to ignore the fact that half the people around me here sound like Peter Griffin.

    Food and service were both wonderful. The food was fresh and delicious! Drinks were perfect. Get…read morethem with just a touch of agave and they aren't too sweet or ask for a skinny marg. Great guac and birria tacos! Delicious!

I actually love this because I love Mexican food and my mom does not. She lives right down the street, so I'm happy that I can take her to Pancho's and we can both get something we actually want without compromising. I'm beyond excited for that! I naturally ordered the wings - that's what I came for after all! It was so nice to see a heat level above plain buffalo. The wings were crispy and flavorful. I wouldn't say the "Blazin' Buffalo" was spicy but it was a nice change from all the plain Franks Red Hot wings I've bene having. I suspect the base is Frank's and they doctor it up. I was happy with it. The bartender said they can make it spicier upon request so I will definitely try that next time. I was craving some ground beef tacos, so I ordered that as well. They were pretty good and come with a hefty portion of cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickled jalapeno, sour cream and salsa to add at your discretion. The tap list is ok - pretty average beers like Bud, Stella, Sam Adams, Narragansett, etc, on tap. They didn't have a cocktail list, but the bartender said they have flavored margaritas so I'll probably try that next time. I got a Stella and that was nice and crisp and went well with the wings. This place is pretty big, with a full bar, and a combo of booths and tables, but part of it is closed off. I went around 2:30pm on a Wednesday so there was only one server/bartender on. She did her best keeping up with tables and she was attentive for being the only person working front of the house. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience here and will be back when I'm in the area.

Upon our 5:30 p.m. arrival, my wife and I were immediately seated in the far corner of the outdoor patio. From the beginning, the host's demeanor came across as cold and dismissive. When she told us to "enjoy," her tone made it clear she didn't mean what she said. When our waitress arrived, she wanted to explain what the daily specials were, but before she began, we politely asked if we could move to another section of the patio so we could sit in the sun. After speaking with the host, she returned with what I can only describe as a smart-ass attitude, saying, "Those tables are for people who actually have reservations." We completely understood if those tables were reserved, but there was absolutely no reason for the condescending attitude. Instead, we were moved to another corner table, and after the host decided to tell us "enjoy" with the same condescending tone. Once we sat down, I asked the waitress if she could explain the daily specials, but then she quickly replied, "now that we're at a different table, the other waitress/waiter will have to do that" since it wasn't her "zone". As we sat there, we couldn't help but notice what appeared to be a noticeable difference in how other guests were treated. The tables that gave off what I would describe as a more "upper class" appearance, well-dressed white guests who appeared more affluent, seemed to receive a warmer welcome and far more attentive service. Whether that was intentional or not, we couldn't shake the feeling that we were viewed differently. I'm white myself, but perhaps my tattoos or the fact that I was dining with my Brazilian wife caused us to be perceived differently. I honestly don't know. What I do know is that we left feeling like we didn't fit the restaurant's idea of its preferred clientele. For example, our waitress never offered us the option of tap or bottled water, while nearby "upper class" tables were given that choice. Around 6:10 p.m., we ordered appetizers, which took roughly 20 minutes to arrive, while tables seated after us were already receiving their food. We then placed our entrée orders and waited... and waited... and waited. In addition, we found a hair in the salad that we ordered, and when we brought it up to the waitress, her only answer was "that's impossible, everyone in the kitchen wears hairnets... At approximately 6:40 p.m., the hostess came to our table and explained there had been a "mix-up" because we had switched tables, causing our entrée order to be delayed. That explanation made very little sense. How does simply switching tables result in an order being delayed by that much? It pointed to a serious lack of communication between the front of the house and the kitchen. By approximately 6:50 p.m., I believe a manager came to our table and asked if there was anything he could do. At that point, I bluntly asked for the check because waiting well over an hour for our food was simply unacceptable. Ironically, our entrées finally arrived around 7:00 p.m., but by then we had completely lost our appetite. I sent the food back and again requested the check. Even then, it still took another 10 minutes to receive it. To the hostess's credit, she apologized, and I told her I appreciated the apology. However, I also explained that this restaurant clearly has a major communication problem. More importantly, the dismissive attitude we experienced from the moment we walked in set the tone for the entire evening and left us feeling unwelcome. In a nutshell: We waited an hour and a half for our food we never received, we were mistreated, felt discriminated, and there were still PLENTY of open tables in the patio facing the sun. This was our first visit to Narragansett, and unfortunately it was not the welcome we expected. I didn't even bother asking if the restaurant offered a military discount because, by that point, I already felt like we didn't belong. We will NEVER return.
