    The Chopped Cheese
    Michael P.

    This was a last second visit with a buddy of mine to catch up. Reading the menu I just really wanted to try that chopped cheese and holy crap. I'm glad I did. Chopped cheese isn't a super common menu item around here but this thing was packed with flavor, cheesey in every bite and what set this apart for me was the fact that the ratio of bread to meat and cheese was perfect. The bread itself was also crisp, with a crunchy and super thin crust, a crust almost like a Pan De Cristal bread if you've ever had it. This was also very fairly priced and the portion was really generous. I knocked off a star because of the fact it was served with cape.cod.chips instead of fries or another option. I despise potato chips, but it's even worse when I don't know they're coming (okay. It's not that serious, but it's just the point. Super weak side.) Service was pretty slow. There weren't a ton of people in here but we waited at least 30 mins for food and most folks were ordering drinks and not eating. Overall, great sandwich, and if I remember correctly, past the main dive-bar feel in there, there is actually an outdoor patio in the back of the place and that's a pretty cool gem of a spot to hang out with some friends.

    Ahmad was great @ the bar! Connected with us. Made sure we had a great time. We might actually become regulars. One beer at time! The ambiance was phenomenal!

    This spot is a total vibe. Lil hole in the wall bar but the drinks, food and service were top notch. The bartender, Ahmad really came through with fun service and good energy. He made me the drink called The Last Night which was really good and just strong enough without it being too much. Will definitely go back.

    1st Timers - Lunch at The Point Tavern. They have a little patio in the back. They have a dining area but you have to go to the bar to order drinks and food so we just sat at the bar. We were also there in the afternoon so maybe at night they have a server. The 2 bartenders were friendly. They were out of the pork skewers which we were bummed because photos looked so good! I got the Tavern Burger which was sooo good! Husband had chop cheese sandwich and he said it was good as well.

    In Good Spirits cocktail

    A HIDDEN GEM-- I was looking for a place on a Monday after work for a drink with a friend, and this place did not disappoint. Derrick made some fabulous cocktails all the around, but my favorite was the In Good Spirits. He was attentive and fun! The environment feels like a dive bar--cozy with reasonable prices--but cocktails feel like an upscale bar. This is a MUST go when you're out and about.

    Great neighborhood spot in Providence! I've been several times and the drinks, atmosphere, service and burgers are 'top shelf'. A relaxing vibe with space to hang at the bar, table or booth with friends or move to the outside in back, this place is great for dropping in or an event with friends. Staff is super attentive and the cocktails and beer selection were excellent. Definitely worth a visit in Providence.

    We popped in for a burger and for my husband to enjoy a beer after hearing how great they are here. I ordered a grilled cheese which was served with a tomato jam which was super yummy. All in all I was impressed our dinner. Pros: Fun tavern atmosphere and above average bar food. Cons: Parking can be challenging at times and it is a more limited menu. They don't have fries and you just get a bag of chips with your burger. If I want to go in and meet someone for a drink this would be a great tavern to do it.

    Audrey and Jared are amazing. This place has great food and vibes. The happy hour pricing is solid, will definitely be coming back.

    Let me Preface this with, I am not from RI but know that RI has some really good food, for my personal preference, this was not one of them. So when arriving, you have to find street parking, for a Saturday night approx 800pm in the city it was a breeze. When you walk in, its seat yourself and someone will greet you eventually. Our server came around after approx 5mins. I wasn't too impressed with the drink menu, not sure if it was b/c of seasonal cocktails being featured, but when in doubt.. go with tequila. ;) when we got our drinks they were pretty tasty but seemed to be alcohol lacking, nonetheless we scoured the menu to find some food. We decided on the creole crab cakes, wings, and cornbread. The latter was the star of the show, it came with a honey butter and tomato jam on the side. The tomato jam was ok but the honey butter over the cornbread was divine. It was soft with crispy edges and moist. The wings, we could have done without. We ordered the buffalo lemon pepper and they came out with a dry rub and lemon pepper sauce in a condiment cup on the side. -_- they were tender but definitely lacking in flavor. A huge disappointment as the pictures and reviews really bigged them up. Lastly, the creole crab cakes. They had a nice texture but idk where the crab was. I definitely got some bites of the chopped shrimp and sausage but the flaky crab I was looking for seemed to be missing. Our second round of drinks (not pictured) were a margarita and tequila lemon drop. Both were bleh, lacking in taste/flavor. Overall I probs wouldn't return unfortunately but the music was jumping, the good tunes were the saving grace of the evening.

    Chomp is one of those Providence restaurants that I keep finding myself coming back to, even after…read moretelling myself I should probably try something else on the menu. I've eaten my way through quite a few things here over the years, and while there are plenty of good choices, I keep coming back to the Smokey and the Bandit smash burger. At this point, I probably know what I'm ordering before I even sit down. There's just something about that combination that keeps winning. The food here is consistently good. Everything I've had has been fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and the kitchen seems to have that part figured out without making a big production of it. The menu has enough variety that you can come in with different appetites and still find something you want, but it doesn't feel like one of those places with a menu the size of a small novel where you need twenty minutes just to decide what you're looking at. The beer selection is another reason I enjoy Chomp. There's enough variety to make choosing a beer part of the experience rather than simply grabbing whatever happens to be on tap. Prices are also pretty reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which is increasingly something I notice because restaurant prices have a funny way of creeping upward when you're not paying attention. The location is another part of the appeal. Chomp sits in a great little part of Providence where you can easily make an evening out of being in the neighborhood. There are plenty of other restaurants, shops, and places to wander around nearby, so it doesn't feel like you're making a special trip just to eat and then immediately getting back in the car. Tonight, though, I have to give a special shout-out to Bella, who was our server. She was outstanding. Friendly, personable, attentive without hovering, and genuinely helpful. She suggested adding bacon to my Smokey and the Bandit, which I probably wouldn't have thought to do on my own. I'm very glad she mentioned it because it was an excellent call. Sometimes the best recommendations are the simple ones, and she nailed it. One piece of advice if you're planning on coming here: make a reservation if you can. Chomp can fill up quickly, and given how good the food is, that really shouldn't come as much of a surprise. It's the kind of restaurant where people come back because they already know they're going to have a good meal, and I'm certainly part of that group. Five stars from me. Great food, good beer, reasonable prices, a fantastic Providence location, and genuinely good service. I've tried enough of the menu over the years to know that Chomp has plenty of options, but apparently I'm still incapable of walking through the door without ordering that Smokey and the Bandit. Add Bella's bacon recommendation to the list of reasons I'm going to keep coming back.

    After reading the stellar reviews, we decided to try CHOMP Kitchen and Drinks on Mother's Day…read more Since it was late, we ordered dinner to go. We both ordered the Classic Smash Burger, one with cheese and one without. Unfortunately, both burgers were utterly tasteless, with virtually no seasoning detected at all. The Chomp Sauce that was supposed to elevate the burger was so sparse it barely made an appearance, leaving the burgers bland. Honestly, the bun was the best part. The brussel sprouts I ordered also lacked flavor and seasoning aside from the char, and his Cajun fries were so salty they were nearly inedible. After driving from Massachusetts to Rhode Island as a special Mother's Day treat, it ended up being a very disappointing experience, especially given the overwhelmingly positive reviews. We may have caught them on an unusually busy night, but unfortunately our meals fell far short of our expectations.

First off it's a super cozy spot, perfectly lit with a high end tavern type feel. Service is always prompt and friendly. Ask anyone working and they're happy to help you out. You'll never hear let me get your server. Drinks ! Specialty drafts that are nearly impossible to find anywhere else. Drinks that are so well thought out and properly made. The wife hasn't been able to complain once ;) and that's saying something. The dishes speak for themselves just look at the pics. Who makes sausage cups for dipping ??! This place does. The wife had a watermelon salad here years ago and hasn't stopped talking about it. There is literally something here for everyone and every pallet preference. You have to try their brunch ! It's nice to see a place that really prides itself on what it serves. The wife and I were able to get a sitter and finally have a dinner night and Rogue never disappoints. Getting into the city can be a pain sometimes but it's so worth it coming here. They buy their products from local sources and they're a local business.

Plenty of vegetarian dishes with some meat thrown in. The highlight for me was the cheeseboard. I'm not usually the type to order a cheeseboard, but this one did not disappoint. It had a great variety of cheese and the dark chocolate with honey was some of the best chocolate I've ever had. We got the pea pasta for a main and the pasta was perfectly done, the sauce wasn't super flavorful for me. So I'd probably stick to other dishes off their Summer menu. For dessert I'm a sucker for an olive oil cake and couldn't let this one pass me by. It was excellent! If you are into olive oil cake I highly recommend it. We also got the peach galette which was quite tasty as well. Overall a lovely spot where you can tell people care about the artistry of every plate that heads out the door.

I'm honestly not sure how I missed it, because this is exactly the kind of place I like finding. It is the true definition of a small cocktail bar. The space is tiny, intimate, and has a very specific atmosphere, so if you're looking for a big place with plenty of tables, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a great cocktail in a cozy little bar, however, you're in the right place. The cocktail menu is excellent. There are a lot of creative options that go well beyond the standard collection of Old Fashioneds, Margaritas, and Martinis you'll find at most bars. The drinks are imaginative without becoming gimmicky, and the combinations we tried were really well balanced and interesting. You can tell there is some serious thought behind the cocktail program, and it makes ordering something new a lot of fun. Our waitress was fantastic as well. My wife ordered a drink that apparently isn't something every bartender is familiar with, so our waitress went back to the bartender to ask about it. The bartender immediately knew exactly what she was talking about, which was a nice little reminder that these people actually know their drinks. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience easy without hovering over us. The music deserves a mention, too. It was fantastic and fit the atmosphere perfectly. The Eddy has that comfortable, slightly dark cocktail-bar feeling where you can sit down, have a drink, listen to good music, and actually enjoy being there rather than feeling like you're sitting in a loud restaurant waiting for someone to bring you your check. My only real warning is that this place is genuinely small. That is part of its charm, but it also means getting in and finding a seat can be difficult at times, particularly when it's busy. You probably shouldn't show up with a large group expecting to immediately find a table. For two people looking for a couple of really good cocktails, though, it's pretty much ideal. The prices are also quite reasonable for the quality of the drinks. You're obviously paying cocktail-bar prices rather than dive-bar prices, but I didn't feel like we were being taken advantage of. Considering the creativity and quality of what we were drinking, I thought the prices were perfectly fair. I'm actually a little annoyed that I went this long without knowing The Eddy existed. Providence has so many cocktail bars that you can spend years here and still keep discovering places you've somehow walked past a hundred times. The Eddy is definitely going on the list of places we need to come back to, and we will 100% be back.
