    Ambiance: good place to watch the game, they even have a couch, but very loud during the games Seating, all high top, outside of the couch, uncomfortable. They also have benches outside on a covered patio Service: friendly, semi attentive, it was busy Parking: street & VERY limited. There are maybe 4 spots off street Food: ranch is so good, wings were okay, couldn't really taste the lemon though. Liked the Mya pizza, decent size, fig was good.

    Food was truly spectacular.....drinks were amazing too especially the adult local lemonade and pumpkin martini. Everything we had (group of 6) was truly delish! We will return

    This place is a gem. A last min google find. The food was amazing from the burger to nachos to wrap. the drinks outstanding. The vibe is sports bar meet man cave vibes and loved it, like watching football at a friend's house. The service was great. Will be back hockey just started.

    Good Food Short review, only got to stop in for a quick drink and split a sandwich. Place was hosting a large birthday party and was closed to the public that night. Nice, friendly, good looking bartenders serving a good drink and the sandwich was home made, very fresh. Smaller quaint place with a comfortable setup. We'll be back and I will embellish more on this review. Thanks

    The "Rhody Flip" pizza special 4/27
    Kristen S.

    Was excited that DoorDash would deliver to us in Attleboro. We ordered a Rhody Flip pizza that was a special (think bakery pizza but elevated), plant-based burger with a side of fries and a side of onion rings with a side of their homemade ranch. Wow! I was surprised at how delicious everything was as sometimes with delivery, the food isn't as good as it would be hot and fresh out the kitchen. We loved everything. The pizza dough was amazing and the sauce was generous and yummy. I had the plant-based burger the next day. It was huge (2 meals worth) and did not have me missing the beef vat all. Will definitely order this again and we want to try more of the pizzas!

    Definitely an asset to East Providence. Interior is nice as is the staff who showed me to the take out building. Everybody was friendly and efficient. The pizza by Moving Dough is solid. Definitely fresh dough, sauce, cheese and basil for their margarita. Their burger and fries are also tasty and fresh. Definitely makes me to sit down and dine. Website is fine. I would just add a space for other notes.

    50 cent wings - buttery buffalo and spicy Korean.

    Great sports bar with many screens so you can easily see your game from any seat. They had plenty of seats at the bar, high top tables, standard tables, and an outdoor space with even more tvs! We arrived at the end of a live music set, which was good but very loud for how small the space is. Overall, loud is definitely one of the main descriptors I would use for The Local. We had to nearly shout at each other from across the table. The other descriptors I would use are well priced and delicious. They have tons of great specials - we got the 50 cent wings since it was after 7pm, and they were so tender and well flavored. I also got a Rodeo burger, which was very tasty and still tasted good leftover. They have a diversity of seasonal drinks that are cheaper than expected but the size of the drink sort of evens out the price. Overall, definitely will be back for watching some sports and eating delicious wings.

    Chicken sandwich
    Jackie S.

    Went to an event in the area and we were looking for food afterwards. We stumbled upon this restaurant and thought we'd give it a try. We arrived about an hour before the kitchen closed and were nervous that it's shut down early but it didn't. Instead, the bartender/waitress Tracy had a greeted us so warm and welcoming. She went above and beyond her roll to ensure that we were feed as soon as possible without compromising on the quality. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very clean sport bar. It was very welcoming as well. The food was absolutely delicious and arrived steaming hot, just the way that I like it. I wish this restaurant was closer to my house because I would be a regular there. Upon talking with Tracy we learned that the restaurant had only been open for 2 years. If it continues to focus on the food quality and flavors, maintain the level of cleanliness and customer service I forsee this being a very successful business. I will definitely make the drive back there to eat. Side note - my brother also got the chicken sandwich and liked it so much he ordered a second one Another note - the food quality to price ratio (something I really care about when I go to a restaurant) was awesome. The meal was affordable and delicious

    My go-to sports bar. Plenty of tv's in a decent sized building. Delicious food and a good selection of beers. The service is attentive and friendly. They have a big screen tv on one end that has couches and a high top. This place makes you feel right at home.

The drinks were made well, 7 and 7's. Contender's is in the old Merrill Lounge but, has been renovated inside. We didn't try the food this night. Service was good, no issues with Waitress on her first night on the job. Ambiance seemed a little "off", no decoration inside main room on walls or tables--barren! At least two of the big screen TV's in main space not turned on and a third was showing a re-run of last night's NFL game--until we asked for it to be changed to tonight's Live NFL game! It feels "cafeteria-like" the way the tables are arranged in main area. There was a backhoe parked behind the building so we assume they're still finishing renovations. We may/may not try back in a few months...

We were absolutely blown away by the quality and taste of all of their dishes -- everything was packed with authentic, bold flavors that had us savoring every bite. Here's what we ordered: - Steamed little necks and linguica in tomato sauce - Stuffies - Calamari with hot peppers - Shrimp Mozambique - Pan seared scallops in a lemon garlic parsley butter sauce - Grilled octopus with roasted sweet potatoes and garlic toast - Margarita flight - Espresso martini Our personal favorites were the grilled octopus and the steamed little necks but we honestly loved everything we tried! To top it all off, the service was outstanding. Tyler, the manager, was so welcoming and gave us some incredible recommendations. You can really feel how much the team cares about what they're creating, and that passion shines through in every dish and every interaction.

We ordered the nachos with everything, who put balsamic vinegar on nachos??? Not a great choice and the guacamole was very salty. I ordered the smelts that were supposed to be served with a vinegar based sauce and fava beans. I like both so why not. It came with seven smelts and three fava beans but plenty of cold vinegar sauce and onions. The sauce should've been warmed up, not so greasy and more beans. I think the smelts were $15, which was fine if it was what was listed on the menu. I'm hoping it was an off night, I know food costs are through the roof and I don't mind paying for great food but this wasn't it, tonight. Maybe the new owner wasn't onsite, we will give it one more chance.

We kicked things off with a Cosmopolitan in honor of our guncles Mike & Bob before diving into an amazing meal. Hubby's must-have is always the Portuguese clams. It is the perfect amount of clams, chorizo & beans in a deliciously spicy sauce. I can never resist the chicken tenders tossed in Mozambique sauce. We also shared the sausage, rabe & beans pasta, which was hearty & comforting. The portions here are incredibly generous - we left with enough food for two people to enjoy two full meals! Even better, appetizers are now half-priced from 3-6 pm, making happy hour an even sweeter deal. And if you visit on a Wednesday or Thursday, be sure to say hello to the wonderful Celeste. She is lovely & always makes us feel welcome. Fantastic food, generous portions & warm hospitality... it is no wonder we keep coming back! Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

We were the only customers when we dined there for lunch at noon on a Wednesday. I guess it's more of a dinner place. Both my dining companion & I ordered Chicken Francaise ($22.95) on pasta, which was good but not exceptional. The serving was generous enough to bring home leftovers. It would have been nice to have been offered a bread basket, but that seems to be going the way of the dinosaur in restaurants. Our server was fine. The restaurant, while basic, was clean. The entire menu is available during opening hours. I thought the prices were a bit high for a tavern. Perhaps smaller lunch portions of the entrees for a reduced fare? I did consider the Portuguese steak sandwich, but at $18.95 thought it too expensive. I have friends who absolutely LOVE this restaurant, but I was underwhelmed. I'd consider giving it another chance during the dinner service.
