“I grew up in RI and now live far away. When I come back home, Christy's is a must stop. ! am fortunate enough to have shopped at liquor stores all across the country and the world. Today I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Deborah. Wonderful conversation, wonderful experience. Had what we were looking for and more. I've been shopping at this liquor store for years and just met her today. There is a reason it's right at the top of my lists as my favorite stores. There is no hometown bias, it's a great store sincerely and anyone looking for a good experience and a business worth supporting should shop here.

“I’d like to give a shout out to a local businesses where I had an absolutely delicious meal. I was looking for something new & different in the Cranston area close to Garden City that wasn’t the same old monotonous fare that I’m used to. I stopped in for lunch on Thursday as I had an appointment on Reservoir Ave & again for dinner on Sunday after I picked up a cake at Antonio's Bakery. I’d like to start out by saying, I’m half Italian on my Dad’s side (Neapolitan, from the Avelino region, & Sicilian, specifically from Messina) & a quarter Armenian on my Mom’s side (ancient Armenia which is modern day Turkey)…so therefore I’m extremely fussy about my Italian, Armenian, Mediterranean, & Middle Eastern cuisine; my Grandma (Neapolitan) & Grandma (Armenian) were outstanding chef’s in their respective kitchens, & I was outrageously spoiled as a child & very rarely ate out, I had the best of the best~those skills were certainly not passed down nor inherited by me-scrambled eggs in the microwave anyone. With that being said… The owner (who is from Syria, so you know you’re getting an authentic product) & his team provided great customer service, very attentive & patient, knowledgeable about the food they’re serving & able to explain the flavor profile of each item. The restaurant is pretty well taken care of & clean. They encouraged me to try the shawarma, I’m glad I listened, I wasn’t disappointed…now I’m obsessed. I ordered the grape leaves, hummus, & chicken gyro. The grape leaves and the tzatziki were okay, I was expecting a tangy, lemony flavor with the grape leaves along with a more traditional look as well as flavor to the tzatziki, however the hummus & chicken gyro were very good. The hummus was creamy & the gyro was light, airy, & mild…it felt like I was eating healthy. The owner provided a free sample of their falafel…which I had at another establishment years ago & didn’t like…when I returned on Sunday I ordered that along with the chicken gyro, & the owner gave me a free paklava dessert-to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it as I’ve found others hit or miss & off putting. Needless to say, I had an amazing experience & I’ll definitely be a repeat customer for sure when I’m in town.”
“Stopped by last night and had dinner at the bar. incredible pork chop entree, great drinks, top notch service and wonderful ambiance. I'll definitely be back next week for more excellent dining.”
“Amedeo Restaurant & Lounge in Cranston is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and top-notch service. A big shout-out to Isabella, who was absolutely outstanding—she was running around taking care of multiple tables, yet always kept a smile on her face. She made sure we were well taken care of the entire time, and it was clear she genuinely cares about her guests. Joe was equally fantastic, always ready to lend a hand and keeping a watchful eye to make sure everyone was happy. When Amedeo himself walked in, it was no surprise to see him being his usual professional and kind self, greeting guests and ensuring that the atmosphere was nothing short of perfect. The entire experience was warm, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. If you’re looking for a restaurant with amazing food, friendly staff, and a truly inviting atmosphere, look no further than Amedeo’s. Highly recommend—this place is a must-try! Thank you to Isabella, Joe, and Amedeo for making our night so special.”

“Just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who helped my mom this past Saturday night, if it weren't for everyones quick response I'm not sure if my mom would be home today making a full recovery. It's a blessing she was with my niece and at the right place for something like that to happen. Once she is back to herself and off restrictions I'm sure she will be back for dinner to Thank you all in person!! Very grateful! Thank you again!”
“Very disappointed they no longer have a liquor license. The food was delicious the waiter was great, however when I looked up at the ceiling fans i was horrified! All 3 fan are covered with a thick layer of dust some accumulation actually hand down from the blades! please get up there and clean those blades!!!”
“I can’t make this up - this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. I can’t stop thinking about the XL cheese pizza I ordered last week. I’m scared to write a review because then the whole world will find out and it won’t be a hidden gem anymore! Best pie of my life. This place is awesome. 10/10”
“Our second trip there in 5 years and it was completely fabulous. Waitress Jen was incredibly attentive, great menu and awesome food that came so fast. The cheesecake is the best we ever had and the homemade whipped cream was to die for. And it was the first time we had so much whipped cream we couldn't even finish it!”
“This place is specialized in Vietnamese, Japanese, and Thai cuisine. However the lemongrass marinated tofu with veg spring rolls were equally tasted good. A really nice ambiance along with good service too.”

“yummy! As I continue to wonder thru the RI Riviera (Pawtuxet Village), I am very happy to report that I have found another winner. Poco Loco Tacos has it all: an unpretentious menu containing all the standard issue Mexican favs and some creative ones, low, low prices, a chill counter guy, and a rustic vibe. I took a chance on a basic beef taco and was not disappointed. DELICIOUS flavor, and slightly hot like I like it. If you go, you'll find indoor seating and on-street parking. Recommended.”
“As a board member of our PTG I’ve used Cafe International twice now to cater breakfast for the teachers at Stadium School in Cranston. The owner was very helpful with suggestions on what to order, the food is always fresh and so delicious. The cinnamon sugar bagel and iced spiced chai is a personal favourite. Prices are reasonable and ordering and pickup is smooth. Thank you, we will be back in the spring for Teacher Appreciation week!”
“Just had another delicious meal at Minh Hai. The food is fresh and absolutely wonderful -- worth waiting for! Recommend the vermicilli bowl, and the seasoned rice plates -- beef and pork are both to die for. Another favorite is the tofu and eggplant dish. Thank you!”
“Went in for some chicken Pho which was great and is definitely my new favorite spot to get it. While in there I mentioned I've never tried sushi and was interested in it. They made me a Kayla roll to try and it was way better than I expected and definitely has me interested in trying more types in the future. Also tried the gyoza and it was also a 10/10. Definitely will be back”
“Exceptional service and incredible food—I'm especially fond of their pasta!”

“My family and I have been ordering food from this establishment for years! The staff is great, delivery drivers polite and food delivered HOT!!! I think the prices are good and have not increased as much as other places. Very clean inside, and always receive a friendly greeting when you arrive for pick up or dine in. I am a vegetarian, and there are several options available. Also, they will work with you to have your order created to your needs(to the best of their ability). Can't say enough about this restaurant!!!!
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian grinders, pizza, veggie calzones, spinach pie, eggplant parm sandwich and dinner. Salads, several kinds.
Parking: This location does do a lot of business. The parking lot is a good size, some businesses close at night so there may be more parking then. At peak times as in any restaurant, you might need to park a little father away. Still close though, we have never had an issue with this in years!
Kid-friendliness: I have seen many children in the restaurant over the years. I think they are wonderful dealing with the children. Please be respectful as they are a restaurant not a daycare.
Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking in front, easy access to building and enough room for a walker wheel chair et. I don't know about the bathrooms for handicap, never used them. Call and ask, they would be happy to inform you of any needs you my have and if they can help.”

“Green Wok has been my happy place for over 2 years now! Their teriyaki beef strips are a party in my mouth - the beef is tender and juicy, and the teriyaki glaze is bursting with flavor. I pair it with their vegetable fried rice, which is always soft, fluffy and delicious! The service is friendly and always makes me feel like a valued customer. If you're looking for amazing vegan food that tastes fresh and is made with quality ingredients, then Green Wok is a must-try!”

“The food is exceptional, creative, and fresh! The coffee is high quality. Employees go above and beyond to provide amazing customer service. If you haven't thought to ask for a "pup-cup" for your dog, I highly recommend grabbing one while you're grabbing some breakfast or lunch! They prepare the cutest pup-cups I've ever seen; my puppy literally loves it and he gets excited the second we pull into the wicked convenient drive-thru. I recommend Latte Love to everyone, sincerely.”
“My go to for sushi you can’t beat the quality or price anywhere. You will also receive incredible service here, this is truly a hidden gem in Cranston, RI”
“It was a great meal. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was great and the food as usual was superb. That's why I go to Legal Seafoods it's an all around great experience for the money. Will be back.”
“Good food, fresh and fast. Late night , will save you a trip to the beach. I will eat here again. 2 thumbs up 👍🏻!”
“The place is so beautiful and the staff’s are very friendly. The most is the foods is so delicious. I will recommend to friends and family!”
“The Beef Sliders had more high quality ground beef than a lot of places full sized burgers and came with a generous portion of seasoned fries. The Pastels were new to me and really good. The chef was out front when we arrived and was super friendly and you could tell the pride he takes in his excellent food.”
“super fresh, fast and hot (temp) for pick up order. they say 20 minutes and are very timely! delicious food in which whatever is ordered, one bite compliments the next. Hyderabadi Chicken Curry and the Garlic Naan are my go-to, and it's always perfect here. ..NEVER disappoints! As-is, the spicyness is great and nice curry flavor. ill be getting it spicier next time, however. The potato/pea samosas with mint chutney and sweet tamarind molé-like dipping sauce is exquisite, I might add! I'm looking forward to trying new items in my next order!”
“Incredible Food, Beautiful Atmosphere, and the Best Service!
Kaffeology has been absolutely amazing every time we’ve visited. This review is written over a period of several visits, and the experience has been consistently excellent — from the food, to the atmosphere, to the service.
The food is beyond delicious and clearly made with care. Everything we’ve ordered has been fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Some of our favorites include the Chimichurri Steak & Eggs, which was perfectly cooked marinated skirt steak with flavorful chimichurri, golden breakfast potatoes, and sunny eggs cooked just right. The Brunch Smash Burger is next level — two smash patties with gruyere, tomato jam, sriracha aioli, bacon, sunny egg, and arugula… rich, savory, and absolutely addictive.
We also loved the sweeter options — the Fluffy Lemon Pancakes were light, fresh, and packed with flavor, especially with the blueberry cinnamon compote, fresh berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, sweet cream butter, and real maple syrup. The Crème Brûlée French Toast was honestly one of the best things on the table — the cinnamon toast crunch coating, custard center, torched sugar crust, fresh berries, and whipped cream made it taste like a dessert masterpiece. The Breakfast Burrito was also incredible — loaded with crispy golden potatoes, pico de gallo, scrambled egg, gruyere cheese, avocado, and chipotle aioli with cilantro crema dipping sauce. And the Spicy Kale Caesar was the perfect balance — tuscan kale, shaved parmesan, spicy garlic confit Caesar dressing, and herbed croutons.
But what truly makes Kaffeology special is the service. The waitresses are extremely professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, and they always make the experience feel welcoming and enjoyable. Kelsey has waited on us several times, and she truly stands out — she’s a beautiful girl who lights up the café with every smile. Ari and Claire are also beautiful and amazing servers, always greeting us with constant smiles every time they come to the table.
Kaffeology is a total gem — amazing food, outstanding staff, and an experience that keeps us coming back. Highly recommend!”
“My friend, Scott, took me to Haruki last night for dinner, knowing that I’m OBSESSED with sushi, the same way he is. He insisted that it would be worth the drive from Rochester, MA (my location) to Cranston, raving, “It’s the BEST!” and promising me that I won’t be disappointed. I’ll tell you this… he was not wrong!! From the sushi, to the service… A++++ Their entire staff is full of joyous energy and are super on top of everything. It’s so refreshing to see a place of business full of an entire group of people all working so wonderfully together. Getting their ish done like champs all while laughing, smiling, helping, but most importantly, they are all HAPPY. That happiness is infectious. Looking around the restaurant, all you could see was a place full of love, though and through. Our waiter, Tony, was SUCH a sweetheart. Though it was a busy night, he made time to chat with us throughout service. He knows Scott since he’s been a long-time customer. At the end of dinner, Tony truly showed his appreciation to Scotty for being a valued customer for so long by treating us to one of their most delicious bottles of saké, on the house. It was so smooth and delicious. Between the sushi being absolutely phenomenal… I’m talking OUT OF THIS WORLD (and I’m a sushi snob and a half), the rocking staff, the pleasant atmosphere and the fantastic prices, you really can’t beat this gem of a place. It is most definitely a new favorite!”

“This place is extremely clean and they make some really tasty pieces. One of them is a stuffed haddock, which is absolutely delicious. Also stuffies. That are also delicious.!! They also sell raw fish pieces that you can cook on your own. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting this business. You will definitely be glad you did!!”
“Simply horrendous!! The appetizers tasted old, Dinner was cold, BLAH!! Asked the bar for cranberry juice and got Hawaiian Punch!! Took over 3 hours for all of the courses to be served. Finally, the coffee was brought out! Yes, you guessed it—COLD AND OLD!! We never got dessert. Told waitress my husband didn’t feel well and I asked her if we could get a couple of pastries to go, she refused! Paid $40 X 2!! An awful lot of money for high priced garbage and service that took well over 3 hours to complete!!”
“This was our first time at Circe Prime and we found it to be excellent! The food was delicious - we had filet mignon, salmon and the lamb appetizer; the preparation was superior. Our server was Constantine and he was very professional and attentive. We will definitely be back.”

“I had a blooming onion and I have not had one of those in a million years. Like the dinosaurs were roaming the earth when I had one last. Was it the way I remember yes and no. It was a little more salty then it used to be but it was still amazing. I had a rib eye medium rare I was not disappointed thank you Texas Roadhouse for staying consistent and having those amazing tasting rolls.”

“Great way to go out for an easy meal. Their buffet isn't as big as others, but the trade off is the food is of much higher quality. They have all the staples, my kids love it, and the price for them is low. Children are priced by age. There is a good amount of parking and I've never had a bad experience.”

“I work down the street from Boulevard for years now. Ive gotten food from them a lot. I have never gotten a bad salad from. Always fresh, great ingredients and always tastes great. Today 5/2/2025 I ordered a Cobb salad and it has to be the best salad take out ive ever had. Everything was so fresh, not a single wilted lettuce or veggie. Perfect size and amount and great price. Keep up the great work!”

“I went for lunch with my daughter. We had heard mixed reviews and I never judge a place without trying it myself.
The food was amazing!! Crab rangoons were light with a cherry dipping sauce, sushi was fresh and innovative with fresh baby spinach. We also had Chirashi and Cantonese noodles with vegetables and chicken.
Everything was GREAT! I’ll be back again! The attentive server was top notch and that made the experience even better!! Atmosphere was quiet with modern fixtures and comfortable seating!!
Thank you for a great lunch choice!!”
“shout out to the Dunkin next to my house! This Dunkin is fairly new and I don't go there so much to wear they recognize me or anything so no special treatment and let me tell you this Dunkin hits every time! Not only are the drinks and stuff always good I've had maybe one or two problems ordering on DoorDash but it was the food and it wasn't really a big deal but for the past couple days I've went there I've been so pleased. Last night I went there and the girl at the drive-through saw my small dog in the backseat and asked if she wanted a pup cup and I said yes and I honestly didn't know how much my dog loved whipped cream until then so I went there again this morning and I ordered at the counter inside so nobody saw my dog and I forgot to ask for one so I ran back in quickly to grab her one and the kid working at the counter asked me if she could eat bacon? I said yes but I was a little confused as to why he asked because I only asked for some whipped cream he literally put a plain old-fashioned munchkin in her pup cup and then sprinkled some bacon on top for her! Like above and beyond isn't the word he must love dogs and I literally loved it so much she gobbled all that pup cup up so quick it was so Cute I love that Dunkin downnn! Thank you guys so much <3”
“Always a great time with excellent service. Went today and the food was phenomenal. Such a great place I great staff”
