16 Best American Restaurants in East Providence

“After riding bikes over the Henderson Bridge from Providence, we stopped in for lunch. There wasn’t a bike rack, but there was a long fence next to the parking lot that made locking up the bikes easy.

We each ordered the blue plate, which looking around the restaurant, seems to be a popular choice among diners. The server allowed us to substitute tenders in place of the fried thigh and drumstick for the blue plate. I ordered my tenders with the honey Cholula flavor and blue cheese sauce. My partner ordered the Nashville hot flavor with truffle mayo. Both were great, but I’d recommend ordering the Nashville hot or Spicy flavors with blue cheese in retrospect.

For sides, we tried the collard greens, cheesy cheddar grits, corn bread with honey butter, and pulled pork baked beans. All were very good. The cornbread was a good choice because it can serve as a dessert at the end of the meal. The grits and baked beans were both excellent as spreads in the Texas toast that comes with the blue plate. If you order the collard greens, note that it has a pretty intense (almost smoky) flavor and lots of bacon, so be sure that you like both. The creamed corn sweet potato tater tots were popular choices among other customers while we were there.

This is the perfect restaurant if you’re in the mood for fried chicken and Southern food. Bring your appetite because the food is filling; I was glad to hop back on our bikes and do some more exercise after lunch!“

“We visited Honey Bird back in June. The chicken was outstanding so moist and flavorful. The drinks also did not disappoint, the ingredients blend together so well and zero hang over headache. My 6 year had yummy Mac & cheese with fries.“

“Food was Fantastic! Burgers were cooked perfectly to order, and was much faster than expected. Music was a little too loud for the small crowd. Waitress was a little rude, but did her job good. Would recommend

Parking: Parking can be difficult when busy.“

“Nice place to grab lunch during the week. Staff was friendly and very attentive considering she had a full bar to take care of in addition to our table on the other side of the restaurant.

Food tasted good and prices were great. 5 of us had lunch for less than, $100.“

“Good food , clean and friendly staff“

“This place is definitely a hidden gem. Can get busy during peak times so make sure to call as they take reservations now. If your ordering catering sized portions, the small sizes are huge. If you order the lombinhos, they will ask you if you want them fried or grilled. Most places around here won't ask, but definitely get the fried. The grilled are dry with none of that awesome brown sauce.“

“i give you 4.5 stars,but havent figured out how to change it!LOL😄with all due respect,but i feel the poor review given about the handicap parking and lost wallet is unfair and it seems to me she was just looking for things to complain about,just dont go back and leave it at that because it can happen anywhere else! the parking ,I understand,but the landlord is the only one that is restonsibleso there is wheretheomplaint should be be given each store or restaurant paysrent for he space provided,there is only so much the leasee is able to control , I would thinkand must get approval to make any physical changes,without approval from the landlord...about the lost wallet I cdeem carelessness! no,I will not hesitate to speak up defending the womderful young women and over all service because I've enjoyed ALL my visits here very much!Going as frequently as I dñ do,I've become familiar with some of the waitresses(Maddy,Amanda,Shaudeh) you are fantastic,i appreciate the friendliness,interest,willingness to chat shortly ,and great service you have given, my I've always left satisfied,full and a smile!😊The last few Saturdays I was not able to visit,just weren't the same,to me!🤷🏽 it's a great place to refuel after the gym,keep up the great work,young women❤❤❤,make sure you share!LOLi look forward to return soon again!

“My favorite spot!!!!!!!!!“

“The Chelos team is one of the best around. They are always so accommodating and understanding of any guest needs. We had a party come in that was larger than expected and the team was so calm and worked everything out with us. Maggie and Matthew were amazing and did such a thorough job with the amount of people we had. Thank you for everything!“
