“Originally thought I was having Greek food but quickly learned I was having Syrian food. This is my first time having Syrian food and by far the best. I had a very simple meal I got the chicken salad and the grape leaves. Everything was so fresh and the flavors are so vibrant and very citrus forward which I love. I'm so excited to go back and try some of their more dishes. This is a great place to stop by have a quick bite to eat for lunch or dinner. As someone who is on the go a lot I'm really happy this is close to my work so I'll be coming here more often. The 2 gentle men that were there are very kind . Thank you !”

“I have run multiple beer & wine shops, and Christy's Liquors is a top notch establishment. I have been there a few times now and every time has been an awesome experience. The staff is very personable and knowledgeable. The selection of liquor, wines, beers, and beverages is vast and constantly cycling in new products. I need to also shoutout Jay, he smoothly runs this ship and his vast knowledge of the product is amazing. Thanks y'all for a great experience and I will most definitely be back!”

“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.”
“My Shawn’s Pub is a fantastic place to gather with friends and make new ones”

“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”
“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!!!”
“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 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!”
“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!”
“If you haven’t been to Ichiban, you’re missing out! It’s an amazing restaurant, family run (husband and wife) and amazing atmosphere! The Ceviche is amazing, best I’ve ever had!”
“atmosphere was cute... service great. food was subpar. paid $60 for a steak sandwich that looked & tasted like a TV dinner, appetizer that tasted like canned chicken soup, and fries that were definitely under the heater for too long”

“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.”

“Sundaes has always been my favorite ice cream shop. Last year I developed an allergy to tree nuts. It is severe. Out of all of the places I have been to eat Sundaes Cranston has gone above and beyond to ensure no exposure to tree nuts. The staff is pleasant and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the training that these employees have been given. Thank you so much. I love still being able to enjoy my favorite ice cream.”
“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.”

“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!”
“Gong Cha in the Providence and Cranston area is a boba tea shop that operates with the customization options the chain is known for. The space is clean and well kept, with a couple of tables and some board games available that give it a slightly more social feel than a purely grab and go setup.
The drink customization here is genuine rather than performative. Sugar levels and ice levels are both adjustable and the staff actually follow through on the specifications, which is not universally true at boba shops that advertise the same options. The wintermelon milk tea, taro with black boba and milk foam, brown sugar bubble tea, and the strawberry milk tea are all strong choices and represent what the kitchen does consistently well.
The boba pearls are cooked in house and the texture reflects that, with a chewiness that holds up through the drink. It reflects an average gong cha experience, and this location does it well.”
“Shoutout to Latte Love Coffee House in Cranston on Comstock Parkway. I stopped in today for a professional meeting and had a great experience. It was easy to get to, not far off the highway, and parking was available, which made everything convenient right from the start. There was a healthy line when I arrived, which is always a good sign, but there was still plenty of seating. The atmosphere was quiet, clean, and comfortable, which made it a great setting for a good conversation and productive meeting. The coffee was good, the bathrooms were clean, and the whole place felt welcoming and well run. I always appreciate supporting local businesses that are doing things the right way and creating an environment where people can gather, connect, and enjoy a quality experience. Well done, Latte Love Coffee House. #LatteLoveCoffeeHouse #CranstonRI #SupportLocal #CoffeeShop #RhodeIsland #ShopLocal”

“I drive by almost everyday & today as I was driving home from work I stopped in. Can I just tell you what a wonderful experience I had? The customer service was amazing. I was pleasantly surprised by their selections & when I viewed their pies, to my surprise they had a strawberry shortcake that was breathtaking by the appearance alone. “THAT’S THE ONE!” Those were my words! After dinner my mom, my boyfriend & me sat to have a serving each. The mmmm hmmmssss were the only words we were able to UDDER… lol! Hands down great quality & delicious! I promise you my family & I will return. Thank you for the love you put into your creations. It’s remarkable. 💜”

“It’s the first time in my life I’ve had such a delicious steak—the flavor, the aroma... oh wow, I really loved it. Texas Roadhouse has become one of my favorite spots. I highly recommend you guys go and try this restaurant.they have it Connecticut and Rhode Island.”

“Consistently the best coffee in Cranston. It never tastes watered down. Its specialty drinks are ridiculously good. You should try it. You deserve good coffee. They also DON’T make your espresso directly into a plastic cup like most places do. Honestly do I have to say more?”
“Ordered for first time using instacart tonight. Been wanting to try it for a long time. Ordered the hot honey, pepperoni, basil, tomato sauce and ricotta. I left off the hot honey...wasn't ready for that. It was delicious. I am a new patron! Crust is crisp and tight, toppings were fresh, ricotta was creamy. I'll give it a 9.5. Only note was it was not kept hot and I ordered it well done and it was regular done...2 minor blips.”
“Zuliana was fantastic! Amazing service and attention to customer likes/dislikes and asked for a specific drink tailored towards a choclate/coconut (mounds) martini with tequila and created a drink that MUST be added to the menu!!! It was AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this establishment!”
“I went with my mom and my family
This was one of the best experiences I had at a restaurant 🤑😋!
I ordered the hibachi and it was delicious!!!
A complete menu with many options for different diets! So many options 😋😋
Very good portions and prices ❤
I really recommend going here 🤑”
