“After a four year hiatus, we made our way back to the Gridiron. Very nice home style cooking. So many smiles on the wait staff. Quick response to your requests. You are treated like you are the only customer. They ran out of Narragansett IPA but had several nice alternatives.Great bar with good food and excellent service.“

“Well seeing I haven’t been to Friendly’s in some time. And I’ve come to get a quick bite to eat to find I have a server in training “ Stephanie” who was nervous but pleasant with a inviting g smile that set my atmosphere of being a guest with my company. She assure she got the order correctly to our liking to our order and was pleasant to please and accommodate our needs. If unfamiliar with a menu she quickly excuse herself to inquire with her shift boss. Who was just as pleasant and knowledgeable to what Eva ? that may have riser. Needles to say to find I had points and a member to top it off I got a sundae of one scoop to find 2 scoops and the cost would be 2$ and 5$ off the bill to our surprise. That’s “ Friendly “ is a place I rather be to have such server as Stephanie!!! As I told her she a trainee that has pass the test of time !…“

“I tried the pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw on it today at the Attleboro Farmers Market. I don't know what is in their BBQ sauce, but I would buy it by the bottle if I could! The pork was nice, juicy, and flavorful and the cole slaw was crispy and fresh. I will have to search them out again if they won't be at the AFM!“

“Last night, we walked towards The Aviary's entrance surrounded by beautiful flowers and lots of hydrangeas. Magical. The restaurant itself did not disappoint as it too was absolutely lovely. The wait staff was superb. Nice and efficient and they got every order perfectly. We were delighted. However, the food left a bad taste for sure. We were served room temperature brussel sprouts that were not cooked! Calamari was overcooked and rubbery. Pasta dish was floating in oil!! Total disappointment. Sadly, this beautiful restaurant has not earned our repeat business.“

“Was working on a roof repair next door and stopped by with my crew for some food. The food was delicious, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The service was friendly and attentive and the ambiance was cozy. Great spot for a satisfying meal.“

“Just came from Palmer River Grille, it's very nice inside and the food was excellent. My wife had a small issue with her meal (no need for details), the managers took care of it no problem, which they don't have to do, so I want to take this opportunity to thank them. Our waiter Derek was awesome! Just want to acknowledge everyone there, the wait staff etc. are very friendly, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and their food. I would recommend them to anyone and for sure we will be back. Thank you!“

“Had my first visit to Patti's Pierogies today and it was worth the trip! So many pierogies to choose from I had to get a sampler. They were all delicious, the cheeseburger pierogie was my favorite. Waitress was so friendly and got to meet Patti. Good food and atmosphere.“

“As father of the bride i have to say our special night . 9/21/24 was 100% caring and quality throughout. Matt and Jocelyn work very hard and know the importance of flow. The food and drink were spectacular! This was an evening wedding, but the outside lighting showed the gorgeous gardens. What a great time!“

The chicken Mozambique omelet was amazing! The bacon was a little to smokey for our liking. Toast was a little burnt. Unfortunately their seating is for a max group of 4 people per table. But, if in the area, would definitely go back!“

“TRAFFORDS TESTIMONIAL Perhaps once in a lifetime you find someplace really special for you and your spouse. Seven years ago we went to Trafford’s for the first time. What we remember about it was how it made us feel. Both of us work hard in our professions and to go out to dinner and find wonderful food, excellent and attentive wait staff, and relaxed environment simply made our day. We then came every month at least once mostly twice to enjoy the excellence and serenity at Trafford. Sadly we lost this when the fire occurred for several years. Then absolute joy when Trafford’s reopened and we found the same wonderful food, wonderful staff in a simply beautiful rebuilt building. The joy we felt and the absolute calm and serenity is all back for us. Recently we celebrated my 76th birthday at Trafford with my entire family. It was amazingly special for me and we had our special event upstairs with the entire place devoted to us . Chrissy our server did an awe inspiring service for us making it perhaps one of the most special birthdays I have ever had I have attached a picture of this special moment. I work in the computer software business doing quality assurance 10 hours every day. Being able to calm down and relax completely at Trafford’s is simply a joy for us. I will always be thankful for this the rest of my life Ugh Sincerely Nicholas McKinney“

“Food is excellent. Portion sizes are healthy. For example the veal parmesan with linguini feeds both me and my husband. I haven't tried anything as of yet that I didn't like. Everything is cooked fresh“

“I go maybe twice a month Love their coconut shrimp it’s absolutely so worth the trip no matter where you live Friday I brought a group of friends and all the dinners were fabulous. Waitress so kind and accommodating with some questions my friends needed to know So eat and be merry if your a couple or a. Big family. You won’t regret going Love being treated with such kindness ❤️“

“My boys & I went for Breakfast on Mother's Day and the Food was Excellent, Service was Fabulous, even got a Flower for mother's day. The Owner stopped by the table to make sure all was good and I always appreciate that type of service. We'll definitely be back.“

“Thanks for preparing a fantastic New Years take out dinner. The shrimp Mozambique was outstanding. See you soon.“

“Service was great, even gave our flowers when seating for Valentine's Day. Only complaint was that I asked for rare steak and it barely even had pink in the middle but made up for it in the taste. I would've sent in back but I wouldn't want to delay my Valentine's Day dinner by waiting for a whole new entree to come out. Overall good experience would come again to dine when it's warmer out.“

“My wife's birthday on January 7th. Awesome place our waitress Lora was the best the bartender was awesome they make ya feel at home can't wait to get back there we will definitely ask for Lora she is so happy and fun to have wait on you she's the best.“

“I went to the Granite Grille today with my friend and my grandma. My son is in the Culinary Arts program, and we wanted to experience the restaurant, and it was excellent! The students who waited on us did a great job. My watermelon lemonade was delicous, and I forgot to grab a picture of the burger for the review because it looked so good that I got right on into eating it! The waiters did good checking in with us, and answering questions we had. The students and staff are doing an amazing job. It was an all-around great experience, and we will definitely be going back soon.“

“To the incompetent individuals @dewolftavern who stiffed us on the exorbitant take out Thanksgiving meal you provided missing half the turkey, gravy and the mashed potatoes we payed for and drove a half hour to pick up.... To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day. One of your incompetent workers should have delivered the rest of the meal personally #badrestaurant #badservice #shitcan #dontpatronize #furious @yelp“

“My go-to order in most places would be a Reuben. The quality of the meat, bread and the balance with the sauerkraut, sauce & cheese say a lot about how the restaurant approaches their food. The 02878 is the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will have to find another go-to for other restaurants because they will pale in comparison to Localz 02878.“

“We were here today for Brunch, and sat at the bar. The bartender (Spencer) was well versed in the new Spring menu, was attentive, and gave us personal recommendations because she tries the menu items herself. We tried the Country Skillet, and it came out piping hot . We loved the atmosphere, and the prices are reasonable, too. We will definitely be back!!!“

“Fabulous place. Pizza was awesome as well as the Steak Tips. Joanne was our waitress….friendly and professional. Highly recommended!!!“

“I have never been, but I intend to. They have a new contact number and I somehow came into circulation of their old one in which I get numerous calls a day about so I'm thinking it's worth the try. But they did manage to post a new number on their Facebook account please refer directly to the page because the Google search results are still showing the old number.“

“Chardonnay's Restaurant is a dining experience that effortlessly combines elegance with comfort. From the moment you arrive, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the stage for an exceptional meal.

“My wife and I were visiting the restaurant for the first time after hearing good reviews from customers. The food was very good, the setting was pleasant and very clean, and our server, Lena, was terrific! We will definitely go again and let our friends know about our experience.“

“Since I'm on keto right now my options were pretty much limited to an omelette with a side of bacon. Cacoula omelette was fantastic! Can't wait to go there when I can sample a little more.
Took picture half way thru the meal“

“My first experience here. I have to say the service (Megan) was amazing! She knew everything on the menu and then some. Was an excellent Bartender . The portions were BIG and delicious. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed“

“The food was absolutely phenomenal! However, I was there for a large party this afternoon, we rented the back room. And the manager scolded us for being out on the deck because “it was a place for dinning and not for us to hangout”. we were out there trying to enjoy the view, which I feel like is a big hit for this restaurant. Mind you there were no guests seated outside anywhere close to where we were standing and we most definitely wouldn’t have been out there standing in between any tables if people were sitting out there that’s simple common courtesy. Either way she was very rude about it instead of just stating that she’d prefer for us to be inside. I might go back because the food was so good but my only hesitation is to give someone any business who is rude to guests. I worked in the restaurant industry for over 10 years and I don’t think I would have ever enjoyed working for someone who talks to guests the way she spoke to us!“
