“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.“

“A gem I wish hadn't taken me so many years to discover!

I swung by with a friend for Sunday afternoon football, and we had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was very cozy and perfect for football: not too loud at all, and there were plenty of TVs showing the Pats game & RedZone to be easily viewed from any seats in the joint. The fellow patrons were delightful to hang out with for a few hours, very fun and there were many regulars. The service was fast, friendly, and made us feel like regulars on our first visit.

Prices were extremely reasonable. The food surpassed expectations (especially the fries, they're as good as they look in everyone's pictures)! There was also a great draft beer selection, and the bartender absolutely nailed it serving in chilled glasses.

We will *definitely* be coming back soon!“

“We are repeat diners and have always appreciated the staff's services. I ordered the BBQ ribs. The two accompanying sauces added great variety, though I must admit the mango habanero packed quite the initial spicy punch! Late opening hours on Saturdays is convenient, making this restaurant an excellent choice for late-night dining.“

“I highly recommend Greg’s restaurant. My best friend from high school Nikki who 41 and I who 41 love to go here . We go frequently. Our favorite. Nikki is in love with the summer picnic salad and literally gets it every single time we go. She knows she likes it so she goes with it kind of like Sheldon on the Big Bang theory. I love this salmon dinner , salmon bowl , grilled chicken dinner , Their veggie burger , the crunchy Chinese chicken salad and both quinoa salads . We went last night and Nikki had piece of strawberry shortcake. It was huge and so good she said . They are noted for their desserts. Bear desserts and meals around! Nikki also loves their clam chowder. Last night dining down in the pub section where we love to go we had the sweetest waitress Britney who said she remembers us cause we go a lot. We’ve had another young lady waitress with glasses couple tones who’s sweet too and a young handsome male waiter who’s awesome too. Greg’s makes best pickles too. Greg’s great place to get a great meal and dessert! We go to the East providence location on Pawtucket Ave.“

“Service and atmosphere are outstanding. Ordered porchetta, and it was very fatty, with not much edible meat on it. This was disappointing; however, the staff quickly rectified the situation and replaced it with another entree of our choice. One of the many reasons that I love this place and frequent it! They know how to treat their customers. The Steak Frites and Eggplant Parmesan were done to perfection. The drinks are always amazing.“

“Service was fast and friendly, coffee felt overpriced but I was proven wrong as you get almost two whole portions for the cold brew and it was delicious. My chicken and waffles was great, my boyfriend’s omelette was ok but it came with a laughable amount of home fries especially for the price. Probably wouldn’t return for food but might stop by for coffee!“
