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.“

“Great food. Awesome staff“

“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!“

“Good food, great prices. My only complaint was I’m fairly certain it was microwave bacon. Last visited a few weeks ago.“

“The service is 10 stars! Happy environment, smiles, accommodating, & just real nice.
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!“

“I want to give this place more stars. Homemade food, affordable, and quality ingredients! Today my husband and I weren’t feeling great, remembered homemade meals to go and grabbed a chicken parm for dinner and it was amazing. A much needed alternative to takeout and cooking. I am so glad they are in business!!“

“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“

“The food was good. Drinks good but a little pricey. We did not have a reservation so we sat upstairs at the bar, which was ok. Beautiful atmosphere! Modern and updated. There was only one bartender for several guests so the service was slow, not the bartenders fault. I could see ourselves coming back and trying it with a reservation.“

“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“

“3rd year in a row, Vinos nailed it! They made and delivered a phenomenal spread for my parents Christmas dinner. SO MUCH FOOD!!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️everything was absolutely perfect!! Thank you so much guys!!“

“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.“

“Went on a Friday night for dinner. Food was ok. I had a hot honey chicken sandwich. There was no hot. I expected a little more kick. Drinks were good , the blackberry mule was best at the table. Some other meals were fish tacos and shrimp tacos. They were ok also..service was very good.“

“Breathtakingly beautiful and scenic vistas of the shore and the bike track. Especially being seated in the patio area on a lovely sunny day, it was a truly mesmerizing view and experience.

The staff was genuinely polite, friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Not snobbish at all, thankfully! Very rare to find a truly professional staff on restaurant's nowadays. Special shout-out to Sarah!

Food was finger licking delicious. I am told they had just revamped the menu. I can't comment on the previous menu, but the chef knows their job well! Loved their calamari, PB burger, and the fries were extra super duper crsipy to die for! Just the cocktail I had was way too sweet (loaded with sugary syrup), so didnt enjoy that one.

Ample car parking on a October saturday afternoon, but it gets super busy during peak summer months.

The patio from the parking lot is directly accessible. Else take the mini elevator to floor 2 for indoor or outdoor seating.“

“I had the 1/2 chicken meal and it was just the best chicken I ever had eaten. Cannot wait to have more.“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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“

“yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy“

“ALS Formula treatment from Aknni herbs centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit ww w. aknniherbscentre.c om). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength,“

“Went and took Ashley's aunt out for her birthday! I have to say. The food was on point! The customer service was on point! A big shout out to our waitress Meg! The involvement with us. The fact that she sat down with us to talk and take our order! The fact they brought water for Zeus! The fact that she arranged for her work crew to come out and sing to Sue for her birthday! And she brought out a birthday frozen shot for us all to do and yummy pastries ! Hands down the best c… See more“

“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!“
