“I am telling you that if you want the best tacos on Tuesday and wings on Wednesday in Bristol, RI you have to go to the Wood St. Cafe and while there enjoy a cold beer with Sabby the friendlly owner or Mary Lou at this cozy bar. I highly recommend this establishment with their family atmosphere.“
“Bottom line: a delightful French bistro with absolutely delicious food, a casual, cozy vibe, and an excellent value. Something different in the East Bay. An underappreciated gem.We’ve been going to Le Central for a few years and recently rediscovered just how good it is. The vibe is French bistro, complete with black and white checkerboard floors. It’s casual, relaxed, and cozy. It feels like French comfort food.The menu is thoughtful and amazing for how truly delicious the offerings are. It’s a ‘who’s who’ of some of the best French dishes, without pretense or weirdness (no snails or frogs legs). Starting with the table bread, half of a baguette, perfectly toasted and partly sliced, with soft butter and some olives on the side.The onion soup is full of melted Guryere cheese, caramelized onions, rich beef stock, and toasted baguette slices, served in a ramekin. It’s perfect and utterly irresistible. Pair it with a salad and it’s a meal.The Salad Nicoise has perfectly cooked green beans, roasted fingerling potatoes with butter and parsley, roasted red peppers, a bed of arugula, a nice filet of perfectly poached salmon, and a mouth-watering lemon-caper compote. It’s hearty enough as a main course for lunch or dinner, and is deliciously satisfying (and I’m not usually a salad person).The hamburger might be one of the best you’ll have. A hand formed patty of organic beef on a toasted Brioche bun, served simply with tomato and lettuce, cheese (cheddar, Guryere, or Roquefort) and applewood smoked bacon optional, and a side of ultra-thin and super-crisp potato frites (too good to be called mere ‘French fries’). We love burgers, and both think this is hands-down the best we’ve had in the area (it’s the spiritual opposite of Chomp burgers which are excellent in their own right but very different with many heavy, spicy additives that make for a ‘wet’ burger). Le Central’s hamburger stands on its own simply with the highest quality ingredients prepared perfectly (like the rest of the food).Coq au Vin (chicken with wine) was a revelation. A half of a Cornish game hen (breast, leg, and thigh), braised in burgundy wine, served in a crock brimming with mushrooms, sauteed onions, and bacon, in a rich, thick, velvety stock, and a side of roasted fingerling potatoes. Just the smell made my mouth water before even taking the first bite! It was heavenly, deeply satisfying, and very hearty and filling.There are always some specials, often including an omelet. Recently we’ve had asparagus and brie, and mushroom and Guryere, variations. They were spectacular, served with a side of potato frites. They turn brunch into a special experience and feel decadent despite the modest price. They offer a full brunch menu that looks yummy, though we haven’t (yet!) tried it.Desserts are homemade. Our favorite are the Rochers (“rocks”), chocolates like turtles. Dark chocolate filled with the specialty of the day, various nuts and fruits. Order at least one if you’re stuffed and don’t think you can fit in anything else, but a plate of 4 goes down easily with tea.The drink list is massive. In the spirit of a French bar there are dozens and dozens of liquors of every kind. A nice offering of about 20 wines (French of course), every one we’ve ever had has been a winner. Some beers, and even several ciders, apple and pear varieties, from Normandy!This area has tons of typical bars/pubs/taverns, seemingly one on every block, along with Portuguese (Portuguese-ish) and Italian restaurants. Le Central stands out, both for being unique in offering a great selection of the best of the best of French foods, and for the amazingly high quality and reasonable prices. It’s one of the great, underappreciated secret gems of the East Bay area. If it was in Boston the prices would be more than twice as high and people would be raving about it.We’ve been finding it hard to go more than a week between visits.“
“I was visiting my son from Florida so we ended up up going out for dinner place is super clean waiters was very attentive and polite they check on us every 15 minutes to ensure everything was good love the presentation on the plates small rice portion still was good steak was good just a little cold at the end the waiter offer tequila on the house that really was a nice touch I'll be back in town soon and visit this place again thank you all“
“What a find! Was looking for a good restaurant for lunch in Bristol and found Brick, which it seems only recently started opening for lunch. The smell from the road of brick oven pizza lured me in:). The atmosphere is awesome, a big roomy old industrial building that feels almost like a tap room - while it was lunch, I didn't get a chance to dig into the beer list but they have a huge and well appointed bar. Our server, Haley, was friendly, personable, and shared that all the ingredients are local. She even gave us the tip to warm left over pizza up in an air fryer to keep it crisp! Had the pizza of the day, Fig & Prosciutto, and the Shroom pizzas and total amazing-fest. Delicious, thin crispy crust with a sophisticated taste. Without question will be back and happy to recommend Brick to anyone in the area or passing through - try them for lunch as was a light crowd, fast service, and selfishly I want them to stay open for lunch forever!“
“Amazing place very tasty . Awesome waitstaff. I have never been there it was my first time and by far one of the best places I went to. The oysters were the best also. The whole thing was a great experience from beginning to end... definitely will be back... 10 ?“
“Lovely ambiance. Amazing staff. Great selection of food.Thank you Jasper for an amazing experience.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options to choose fromParking: Parking is a little bit of a challenge, there’s about 3-4 diagonal spots. However, pedestrians were very kind and understanding.“
“The food was wonderful, tasty. It came out quick and hot. The spanish rice was fluffy and spicy. Thr service was friendly and made you feel comfortable. Absolutely love the atmosphere. The wall mural is beautifully done and each time you look at it you find something new. Definitely get a tamarin margarita.“
“Finally got around to trying out the new Barrington location and it was nothing short of amazing! We got there on a rainy Sat night - called ahead to see if they took reservations but were told no and that there should be no wait. We got there shortly after and were promptly seated and serviced. The new spot is def a few steps up from the old spot - updated, modern and airy. Meaghan was our waitress and was wonderful - as was all the staff. It was outstanding friendly service and efficient all at the same time. We started with the loaded tater tots and the octopus special. The octopus was cooked wonderfully and the tots were a fun appetizer to share - reminds me of my elementary school lunch if I was Richie Rich. But the spotlight goes to our entrees - I got the chicken parm with fresh rigatoni and the pink vodka sauce and he ordered veal parm with fresh bucatini and pink vodka sauce (how unoriginal ). Both were delicious! I love me a good vodka sauce and fresh pasta - my rigatoni was maybe 20 seconds short of being al dente but I'd prefer a tad harder vs soggy floppy pasta. The bucatini however was perfecto! The mister said it was one of the best veal parms he's ever had and that's a tall order to fill! All drinks were creative and tasty! And with how delicious dinner was, we had to get some dessert and they didn't disappoint! We were way too full and took the rest of dessert to go. With the nightmare that is the Washington Bridge debacle - this is a great place to support more locally, you won't be disappointed! No need to go to the Hill for some good Italian (they do serve up Portuguese fare as well) when we've got a great spot in our backyard! With apps, drinks, dinner and dessert - tax + tip was close to $200 but well worth every penny!“

“A very small cafe in east Providence. The food was good but quite expensive honestly. Staff was friendly. They have two vegan options: a brownie and some sort of “cheese” sandwich ( which I had and was really good) I would go againVegetarian options: I am aware of 2 vegan options but there might be more. Plenty of vegetarian options though.Parking: I didn’t find any parking. I ended up parking at India point park.“
“Ok, you want a great burger? Be prepared to take a bath afterwards. And that's not a bad thing. I had the juiciest, most tasteful burger I've had in ages. I regret I didn't take a picture, but when I took the first bite, I didn't stop. Had the special maple bacon cheese burger. Our waiter was great, upbeat and personable, and the place is clean! The only thing I have a problem with is the loudness, but it's a bar and grille. It's what you'd expect. Won't stop me from visiting again!“
“This spot is super cute. If I lived in Warren or surrounding area - I would want to be doing all the things here. It's small, but doesn't feel it. The bar is great - excellent selection. I watched the owner making a few tests last night (I'm assuming by the taste testing and the picture taking) and I almost ordered whatever it was (old fashioned I believe) because it looked good (yea I know it's not much to it) and carefully crafted. I got a hot toddy - and honestly I wish I had just asked for it with water and not the ginger tea - but otherwise good. And I'm always happy to be able to get a hot toddy on a cold rainy or snowy night. Seeing "hot drinks" was an exciting moment when I walked in. The poetry open mic had such a great turnout. And the comedy show I went to pre Covid was also solid. Worth the drive from Providence for sure. I'm looking forward to going back! There was a free play arcade game by the bathroom. That was fun.“
“Shout out to Ivy and Mandy who made the four of us feel welcome as walk-in this evening. We are doing a Girls Weekend in Little Compton and after a day of shopping in Newport, needed some sustenance. Jade was our awesome server and had great recommendations and went that extra bit to make our meal special. All our entrees were terrific (salmon, swordfish, steak frites and mussels). Thank you!!!“
“Love it here.There’s indoor and outdoor seating (include bar stools). Very cozy in some areas indoor. The backyard has plush and well maintained lawn. Loved that this outdoor space is child-friendly. They host events here on weekends so I can imagine, the space fills up quickly. I stopped by for breakfast on a weekday and there was a line to order food and drinks, but the service was effortless and quick. Food was tasty. The one thing I will point out is the smoothies are not made of fresh fruit/veggies, I was bummed by that. They use flavored concentrates. Parking in the front is limited, but there is a sign pointing to extra parking toward the back.“
“If you like Mexican food you have to come here. You'll thank yourself later. The Cochinita Pibil is like pork flavored soft butter. Neeza is family owned and everyone here is very friendly and welcoming so much so you won't want to leave. The decor is cozy, funky, retro-modern with the perfect tempo of Mexican music. Very relaxing. Wallet friendlyTequila flights...need I say more? We are working our way through the menu and loving it.“
“Ok so who knew Warren, RI had so many AMAZING food spots? I can't wait for my next visit to this cute little New England town.Most recently I had the pleasure of dining at Revival through a recommendation from a close friend and MAN! this place did not disappoint. The inside is cozy and welcoming, the service was speedy and friendly and the food selection was incredible. I also love a place that has specials - my mother in law enjoyed the short rib pappardelle. My first time having Osso Bucco and OMG - I need it again and again. Cocktails weren't half bad either, I'd love to return for a more casual snack and drink.“
“OH MY GOD HEATHER! I told you that would be the headline for my review. after waiting an hour elsewhere to even have our order taken, we left. We'd been here once and sandwiches were great, so we thought we'd try again with some friends. Phenomenal is an understatement! Service was top notch and the food so incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Buffalo mozzarella triangles are a must try! Even if you don't like heat, don't worry. they're made with a homemade Buffalo sauce that is light and creamy with a slight hint of spice! the breading has just a touch of fresh basil and they literally melt in you mouth. my boyfriend said the meatball sandwich may have been the best he ever had. I cannot recommend Grainsley's enough and I can't wait to see what culinary delight I enjoy on our next visit!“
“I've spent a fair amount of time living in the South, and with that came a taste for good BBQ. When I moved back to New England I missed being able to find BBQ on ever corner. And whenever I did find a spot the food was marginal at best. When I heard Dunny's was bringing BBQ to their place I can't say that I was excited about it, the years of let down didn't have me with high expectations. Well last night we decided to give it a shot. The food was absolutely perfect! I ordered a combo plate that consisted of (2) ribs, pulled chicken and brisket. Included were two sides, I chose Mac & cheese and fries. Also standard meals come with slaw and cornbread. We sat at the bar, service was prompt and friendly. The food came to us being halfway thru our drinks. We were offered three different choices for BBQ sauces, we asked for all three. The food arrived hot and the bartender provided us with extra napkins.... it's BBQ! Everything on my plate was very tasty and cooked perfectly. I've experienced places that do one or two items great, but then ruin the meal with something so far off base it was disappointing. One of the signs of well smoked and cooked ribs is "fall off the bone. Well I picked up the first rib and was left holding just the bone. Honest to God the meat remained on the plate! The texture and taste was that of what you'd eat in rural North Carolina. The pulled chicken was a first for me. Basically breast meat shredded simmered in a unique BBQ sauce, it was really good. The brisket was three generous slices with just enough fat to eat it without trimming it off and loading it with flavor. The brisket is where I tried each sauce, all were good, although the spicy wasn't hot by my standards. The Carolina was spot on tangy and sweet. Fries were really good too, spiced with garlic and maybe chive (?). Cornbread was okay, I'd like to see them add jalapenos.My only suggestion would be to add collard greens to the menu. They do offer beans and my dining partner had them, but I was too full to ever try them.Spot on for an Irish guy bringing Southern BBQ to a neighborhood bar!“
“This place is awesome! Went here the first time a couple weeks ago on date night. So good. The waitstaff is so sweet and the restaurant is so lovely inside—so colorful and full of life!We had enchiladas, tacos, and burritos. I had a couple yummy cocktails—great!“
“Over 400 kinds of whiskey! The food menu is small but good; no desserts. The boards have several fun options. Couple meals. Mostly apps, sandwiches, and burgers. This is where you go to have a few drinks and some apps with friends. Cute option for a date night. Not for kids. You go here to sample different types of whiskey you've never had. Some are expensive and some are not. There is beer, wine, and other spirits as well. Trendy. Great decor - metal and wood. As with most places in Providence, parking can be tricky. Give yourself some extra time.Kid-friendliness: Not for kidsWheelchair accessibility: No“
“We were expecting a small space with basic sandwiches and wraps. We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful dining room and full bar. Our family ended up having a beautiful dinner - braised short ribs for my wide, steak fries for myself, tempura chicken and flatbread pizza for the kids. We will definitely be back!“
“So, my girlfriend, and I wanted to try some new places that we have not been to. The food was very different, and eclectic. We tried the General Tso's Cauliflower, which was very good. Lots of flavor, and like the fact that it's a vegetable. Something different. For my entrée I had the Mozambique Mac & Cheese. It was two different flavors poured into one dish. Bravo!!! The only issue we had was that there parking lot was really small, but that will not stop us from going back. We will be back.“
“I love everything about McCray's!!! I read other reviews but I could not relate to "any of them." I was just there last week and ordered $100.00 worth of food, everything was delicious ? I do agree with the one review! Those Devil Dog Mud Slides "ARE THE ? BOMB!" You really can actually taste the liquor! My only complaint is: "I wish you were open EVERY DAY of the week ALL YEAR LONG! Kudos to you and your staff!! I'll see you next season! ??“
“This place is the best club in Providence. They got the safest location and really never have issues inside. I see people from all over the place and even people bring their family members that are visiting from other states and countries. To go to a place and feel the good vibes before you walk in is priceless. Always a good time can't wait to go backWheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access. They will make sure your entrance and exit is effortless“
“Went here on a Thursday for dinner and a beer after work and the place was amazing. Everyone was so nice and I felt like Ive been going here forever. The food came out quick and was so flavorful! The chicken mozambique plate was so good and had a little kick of spice to it. They also had music bingo night at the bar side and everyone was singing along it was such a vibe. They have music bingo every other Thursday. I absolutely recommend here if youre looking for somethkng casual and trying to chill. They have their own parking lot.Parking: They have their own free parking lot.“
“Localz is a good meal at a fair price. They don't take reservations and aren't on open table, that's a bit of a downer, but overall you can't go wrong here. Try the corn and bacon dip as an appetizer.Parking: The parking is somewhat limited and you may have to park along the guard rail on the road.“
“Stopped here before a comedy show next door. We got some light ape and drinks. It took a while for anyone to come and take our order which is why I gave the service a 3. We almost left because we thought we weren’t going to make it in time. The food was very good and loved the presentation was fun and cute with the mozzarella “ducks”. Price was also reasonable.“
“The food was excellent and our server was attentive and very nice. One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The bolognese and chicken parm were delicious. The butter cake and gelato were incredible desserts and an excellent combination.“
“Came here to celebrate a friends birthday! Tried to mussels, the calamari, the tuna roll, salmon burger, cucumber lemon drink (and pear drink).. and then the ice cream cookie dessert. Wow!! Just wow!! Lighting was incredible and was there for the sunset!! Place was popping with activity and service was highly attentive!“
“We love it here, the food is delicious except they put way too much salt on their home fries. The staff is wonderful too. The only thing is they charge you $2.50 for butter which most other restaurants don't charge anything. Overall a lovely place.“
“I got the pulled pork tacos and they were so good!!! We also shared the chips and salsa and I loved the chunky salsa. Nice restaurant, sat at the bar so service could have been a little better. The taco Tuesday deal is pretty good as well. Will be coming back.“
“Food was good. Prices have gone up considerably. They charge a transaction fee on top of that. Apparently, this is for credit card customers, but if you don't see it and pay cash on the table, it gets charged anyway. Not a good business practice.“
“I went there for my birthday. The chef wrote me a card which was so thoughtful. We got the white bean and focaccia bread. This was soooo tasty. For dinner, I had the crab cake and eggplant. My partner who is not a vegan enjoyed the food as well. The staff was so great as well. I would definitely recommend and return.“
