He wasn't that nice when he first came to take our drink order but he was nice the whole rest of the time we were there. I had the regular buffalo wings which were crispy and the buffalo sauce had a buttery taste to it which I liked, it was different than other buffalo sauces. The blue cheese was disgusting though. My mom had the chicken fritters. I tried a piece and they were sooooo good, it was unbelievable. Both my mom and I shared the onion rings that were greasy but delicious. Next time I go back I would get the onion rings again and go for the chicken fritters with a side of buffalo sauce.

I've been dying to try this restaurant after seeing reviews and finding out it's chef owned (yes!)…read more We had reservations on a recent Saturday afternoon at 3pm. The restaurant is small (only seats 48) so reservations are recommended. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable, there wasn't very many people while we were there so I'm not sure how loud it gets when busy. They have a full bar so I ordered a drink and my husband loves his craft beers and they had a few (but he always prefers if they have a beer menu so he can read the beer description). For appetizers we ordered shrimp cocktail and the meatball. The shrimp and sauce were delicious, and the meatball was HUGE (we almost could have a meal with that!!! The meatball came with lots of sauce and ricotta with 2 toasted bread slices (we devoured every bit!). For dinner we shared 2 entrees, we got the seafood casserole which came with choice of side (we picked baked potato) and a vegetable medley, and the southern fried pork chops that came with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The food was so delicious we ate what we could and had to bring food home. Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable of the menu. This was one of the best places we've tried in a while. We eat out at least weekly and most places we don't go back for a second visit, but Lucky Dog Tavern will definitely stay on our rotation of places we love.

We started with the Chicken Marsala Stuffed Mushrooms, which were packed with rich, savory flavor. I ordered the 'Shroomy Grilled Cheese, and it was next-level comfort food; gooey, earthy, and perfectly balanced. My husband and aunt both had the New School Smash Burger, and they couldn't stop raving about it. Every dish was bursting with flavor and truly "to die for." Our server, David, made the night even better. He was attentive, upbeat, and genuinely kind; an overall great spirit with a fantastic attitude who elevated the entire dining experience. David even brought us some of their popcorn, which was so delicious and such a fun extra touch. We loved the food, we loved the service, and we will definitely be back; highly recommend.

I truly don't understand this place after eating here a few times. It is always packed ... the…read moreparking lot literally looks like a shopping mall with cars parked along the street. It has almost a cult-like following after reading the reviews. In my experience, everything I have ordered was okay ... but nothing incredibly amazing vs. the price. I have not seen higher menu prices outside of Manhattan. Two sandwiches and one beer came to $78 after the tip. You read that correctly ... a burger with fries, a pulled pork sandwich with side salad and the cheapest draft beer on the menu ... $78!!! The wings/tenders were over $20 ... in fact, other than the side upgrades, nothing on the menu was under $20. If you are charging $25 for a 'diner burger' and fries, it better be an amazing burger. Mine was no better than Five Guys and less tasty than a Shake Shack. Given the prices, one wouldn't expect that you'd get potato chips with your burger. In order to get French fries ... it's a $5 upcharge. A side salad is $9. I don't mind paying more for quality ... and Blackie's quality is probably high as their meats, vegetables, potatoes, etc. all list the origin place. However high the quality is, for me anyways, the food doesn't seem much different taste-wise, than anywhere else that is much less expensive. Having said that, the portions are huge. The nachos look like they are meant for an entire table and everything is served on metal cafeteria-style trays. Good for them though because the place is huge and always packed. The crowd here is very typical 'Rhode Island'. Expect to see a lot of anchor tattoos, lifted Jeeps with no doors in the parking lot, young 20 - 40 year old crowd who probably played high school football or baseball back in the day and still enjoy telling stories about it. There are no shortage of cross-fitters here. There is a nice buzz of conversation and energy ... but this is not the place you want to go if you don't like crowds. Inside is weird. The walls are painted black and the chairs/tables look like something in a boutique hotel. It looks a little more like a corporate hotel lobby or wedding function hall vs. a restaurant ... especially given the typical crowd. This is not the sports bar it appears to be on the outside. Overall, my 3-stars may seem harsh. But that's an average score ... and honestly, my food has always been average. Maybe I need to try the pizza. If you have deep pockets and like huge portions, you probably won't be disappointed in this place. The service is great, although 2 people working a packed bar, you will wait a bit if you need anything. Also, I came to watch the big game and for some reason they hung pendant lights which dangle down from around the bar. While they make everyone look better, the TVs are blocked by the lights. Very odd.

We started with some drinks - I customized one of their cocktail options to change the liquor and it was delicious! We wanted to try one thing from each section of the menu. We started with the beets which were light and citrusy. The crackers with them were crispy and paired perfectly. We also had the carrot bread grilled cheese, which was so unique! The fried fish collars were cooked super well and perfectly salted. We also got the bratwurst which were nicely charred with some yummy, mustardy potatoes. Our favorite dish was actually dessert! It was a delicious red velvet brownie that was super decadent but perfectly balanced with the filling. Definitely don't skip the dessert menu! Overall, it was a great experience. They mentioned that they change their menu seasonally, so we will definitely be back to try different options!

My friend and I sat at the bar since we were also there to watch a basketball game. They have tons of TVs all around the bar island and they're pretty big. He ordered honey sriracha wings and the blackened bacon + blue burger and upgraded to sweet potato fries for $1. They asked us about timing, whether we wanted the food in waves or all together; we kept it simple and requested everything all together. Since we were sharing, they cut the burger in half and plated them separately which was very convenient. The wings did deliver on sweetness but lacked the spicy portion. They were a bit dry, but they were crispy on the outside. The burger was a bit underwhelming in flavor, but cooked well with fresh toppings like lettuce and tomato. I think it could've had more of caramelized onions, blue cheese, and bacon to really get all the flavors to shine. The fries were great, sweet and soft but crispy. We enjoyed our time here. The service was good, and the prices were too. Lots of parking to choose from, and lots of businesses nearby to shop or get errands done.

Music, circa 1970s ( CCR, Neil Young etc, as if your stopping bye the Aphoto weed store ). Just did not fit the vibe of the place The bar has a nice seats and layout, decor is all new and fresh. Just too bright and the music did not match. Service was ok, seems to be all new staff since our last visit a year or so ago. Wipe down the bar between patrons , new place mats is not enough

Finally got around to checking out Frankie's!!…read more Let's start with the bread... so after & perfect! My wife ordered the kale soup, and I ordered the French Onion. Both were fantastic. My wife ordered grilled chicken with Alfredo sauce & linguini. The ability yo be able to create your own pasta is a nice touch. I ordered the short ribs. They were good, but I probably should have ordered the steak. It came with the mushroom sauce and had good flavor, but it was a bit small for me. The dessert menu looked great, although we didn't order. They have some great brick oven pizzas! They have thr oven right in the dining room for you to watch which is also a crowd pleaser. We will be back to try more menu ititems!!

I've seen on social media that people complained about the new location having mainly street parking - we both found parking easily on the street - quit yer b*tchin' people lol. Besides I believe they have a lot behind the restaurant that we didn't have to use but it's there if needed. We were the only ones there when we first walked in but more patrons came in as the night went on. Made our way to the bar and orders were flowing - one warning if you're sitting at the bar, it is an open kitchen so there will be alot of aromas flowing through and may get on your clothes but really it'll just remind you of how good the food was. Also, the barstools are not the most comfy - metal stools with no backing so after 2.5 hours, we were feeling a bit achy. We ordered way more than we should've but everything just looked so good! We got the croquettes (our absolute fave), the cauliflower, the pizza du jour (I think it had spinach, pepperoni, ricotta and garlic) and for entrees we got the fish tacos and the Orecchiette. Not one complaint - everything was divine. Croquettes were melty, smoky little nuggets of heaven and our favorites bites of the night. The pizza had a great balance of flavors and the crust was thin and crispy. We were so full but had a few bites of the fish tacos and pasta - the fish was cooked to perfection and the aioli it came with topped it perfectly. Pasta was different - had a scallion cream sauce that was a nice change up from your typical Alfredo. Don't sleep on this place - the street is busy being on a main road but so well worth the visit, I didn't catch our bartender's name but he and a few other servers were super personable and friendly - gave us just enough time in between meals and personal space to not hover. Absolutely will return!

My feedback for the restaurant- the perfume in ladies room air freshener made me feel really sick and almost ruined my appetite. The name of the restaurant doesn't catch anyone's attention? Maybe that's why? Otherwise great spot! Excellent food.

The chips were great (I think they were home made), and the guacamole was tasty, it was just a pretty small serving for the price. Our table had 5 different entrees and they were all good.

It's very modern, but also cozy and old-timely at the same time. We sat next to the fireplace, and had a view of the train tracks (hoping to see a train pass by but that's ok). Service was friendly and welcoming. My only disappointment was that they only had a limited brunch menu available when I visited. Although my options were limited, the breakfast bowl we bought was delish.

Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

The fries were great, sandwiches were also really good! Would like to come back and get one of their main dishes as they all sounded pretty good. We got the bread pudding for dessert (sorry forgot the photo) but that was really good!! Would get again.
