“great food I give it a 10 out of 10“

“I went here for a baby shower which was held in the private dining area off to the right. The food and service was amazing and the atmosphere was warm and cozy with a trendy vibe. The sweet potato dumplings and berry waffles were out of this world. I loved the different options of food for brunch they served versus the standard breakfast and pastry items. The restaurant served everything family style and it seemed like the food would not stop coming.“

“amazing place , the meatball grinder was the best“

“Friendly, great food, fair prices!“

“we have been there for their Breakfast, and Dinner. both were superb! the new owner greeted us upon sitting down , took the time to listen to us, and came back after our meal to make sure everything was good. No complaints here! 10 out of 10!!“

“Just wanted to take a moment to compliment the service we received from Amanda! It was pretty busy, the restaurant was at capacity, and she was fantastic! I appreciate a server who does a great job, and she handled our table with a perfect display of relaxed competence. Well done!“

“Food was excellent and our waiter Roberto was very accommodating. Will go back again“

“After spending some time in Providence, RI with family/friends, me and one of my friends decided to go for a bite to dat at the location in Seekonk, MA. The food and atmosphere was your standard Applebees experience. However, our server - Wesley (who coincidentally has the same name as my friend) - was phenomenal. He was kind, attentive, and on point with making sure we were good! He most certainly made sure our experience was enjoyable and kept a smile on his face the entire time. If you enjoy Applebees and want to have a great server, go to this location and ask to sit in Wesley’s section 😊“

“Living in the local area, this place is my 'go to' for an inexpensive meal. Service is great, never had a problem with any of the food (I've been eating here for years), & if you sit at the bar like I do - the locals are very friendly to say the least“

“We were visitors in the area and we loved T's so much that we went there for breakfast two days in a row! The pancakes were some of the best I've had at a breakfast place. I recommend the Little Rhody, it's a great value for the price and you get pancakes, eggs, home fries and a breakfast meat - all delicious! The service was exceptional both times we visited. The atmosphere was very homey and inviting. We'll definitely be back when we visit the area again.“

“We had a great experience here for my birthday. Drinks were delicious, food was amazing, and the staff were friendly. Will be back for sure!“

“Our meal was delicious. My husband and I both had the fish tacos and they were very yummy. They also were not messy to eat. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and the service was great.“

“Great food and great service! Cracker Barrel has an “old” country atmosphere and a wonderful gift shop where you can find so many unique and nostalgic gifts! And, they have quite the variety of old fashioned candy from my childhood days! We just love Cracker Barrel!!! ❤️“

“Without a doubt the best location in the emporium. Lemme rephrase, best place in the state for calzones. I’ve been coming here for over 6 years now. I cannot recommend it enough, I’ve gotten my family and friends addicted too. Erika, who I believe is also the owner, is so unbelievably sweet and has recognized me on several occasions. She’s always there making sure that her business is the best it can be and it’s always phenomenal. Everything is made to order and always done before the expected time. I’ve tried at least 8 different calzones and I can never pick a favorite. Can’t eat a whole calzone? Get an empanada, also lights out. I personally don’t eat pizza anymore because it doesn’t hold a candle to the Rhodehouse’s calzones. Between the amazing customer service and food, I will continue coming here until I die.“

“Excellent food with huge portions and great service! Highly recommended if you're ever in the area. 🥰“

“This place has the best corned beef and sweet potato hash in RI, the staff is very friendly they make you feel totally at home if you are ever in this area do yourself a favor and grab a bite to eat here you’ll be thanking me later.“

“I really enjoyed my visit here because the selection of high-quality items is honestly impressive. It is a fantastic place to find unique ingredients for a special meal, and the staff were knowledgeable and eager to help me navigate the aisles. The store is clean, well-stocked, and has a great atmosphere that makes grocery shopping feel less like a chore. I would definitely come back again for the specialty items you just cannot find at a regular market.“

“I visited The Shanty with two of my best friends for brunch, and we were all incredibly impressed. The atmosphere was beautiful, with fresh flowers, charming table settings, and plenty of convenient parking. The menu offered an excellent selection of fresh brunch and lunch options to choose from! We were especially impressed by the variety of mocktails available - our cold brew mocktail was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect spot for a girls' day, and I would happily return again.“

“always a friendly atmosphere food is good large portions very clean restaurant“

“Myself and My dad went for the first time ever on Thursday May 9th. we are both huge seafood lovers however my mom and my husband are not. So we planned a night out and our number one goal was to look for a great Buck A Shuck with an excellent menu! We found both, my dad saw the Oyster Po Boy and he was sold right there. We arrived shortly after they opened around 3 and took our seats at the bar. I am horrible at remembering names. We ordered a dozen(6 for each) oysters. Shortly after we realized we should have ordered a dozen(6 for each) little necks. I am sorry for the inconvenience of not ordering them at the same time. After eating both the dozen oysters and little necks which was truly fascinating to watch as he just shucked them open with no problem. I ordered the Salmon Burger which was AMAZING and my dad got his Oyster Po Boy. Which he also said was AMAZING. The bartender asked if we saved room for dessert. However we both looked at each other laughed and ordered another dozen (6 for each)oysters as a dessert. All in All the food was great. Everything tasted so fresh they oysters and little necks were so sweet and briney. Fantastic!! Loved the atmosphere and watching all the orders go out and the gentlemen just shuck away at the oysters and little necks. Looking forward to the next time we come!!“

“Food is great. Full disclosure. My band plays there regularly. Even though we live 30 minutes away, we order ribs and burgers there when we want take-out. They definitely earned their awards and we get exactly what is expected on an order.“

“French toast 😋 highly recommended“

“The food was great but the service was even better. Our server Julen was amazing. She was helpful in understanding as we had questions about the menu. Most servers we've dealt with at other restaurants feel like we are being a bother if we need something. Jules was not like that and was great to our dog Foxy as he lounged on the patio and ate his meal. 5 stars. we will definitely be back.“

“Abby T and the other ones are not the only thing in ri..... the other day was the first one of our lives on my last night 🌙 😪 🙃 😩 😭. The one I had was immediately was immediately my first message from my phone to do my phone with me and my friend will get me to do that with my friends for 7.64. Suuppperrrtr awesome. Other people have a lot to be in the one with a little more and a bit of the one to be able for 7.64. Abby t Abby t ABIGALE ABIGAIL ABIGAIL ABIGAIL AMIGA AMIGA AMIGA“

“First time in. Monday night special is quite the deal! Food tasted excellent and portions are large. I was able to take home plenty of food and my unfinished bottle of wine. We did feel a bit rushed. Not only to place our order but appetizers and salads were served at the same time to our small table. We were asked multiple times if we were done with courses when we had forks in our hands. Because the food was delicious and very well prepared we’ll give it another try and hope for a better service experience.“

“Great atmosphere and selection of beers and other adult beverages. Lots of great seating. The bartender was super friendly and helpful too. The craft beer that is better than you find at other brew pubs. Awesome variety. I left my phone there and management was incredibly helpful in coordinating a time for me to pick it up. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Thank God for Walt’s 💜 classic nostalgia. Delicious and the prices are more than fair. Singular and inimitable. Wish I could invest in them. The bun, the fries, the beef! Their other options like the thanksgiving sandwich or the grilled ham and cheese are also dependably delicious.“

“We ordered chicken and eggplant parm to go tonight and it was fantastic. You can tell everything is made from scratch. We will be back!“

“I met up with a family member here yesterday for lunch. We live in different states and this was the halfway point for us. JP was our server and he was just the best!! Very friendly and funny! The food and drinks were amazing and we loved the separate rooms for dining. We're looking forward to making this our regular meetup spot!“

“Dan's is the kind of place I really like - it's close to home! I've been there many times, and ordered take out many times, and I've never been let down! It's our go-to place to take out-of-town guests when we have company, because we know that no matter where they're from, they will be impressed at Dan's - usually by the food. I've heard a rumor that they're taking over the Tavern on the Hill (less than a mile from home) I can hardly wait! Keep doing what you do Dan, it's working for ya!“

“Always great sandwiches. The real deal NYC deli. Today on the specials board was a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Sweet and very spicy. I loved it. Lots of pickles. And a thick coating of the sauce. Probably the best one I have had. And as usual excellent onion rings.“

“The coffee shop or Camden’s“

“Wonderful atmosphere and service“

“Always responsive, friendly, always going out of their way for special orders.“

“Beautiful atmosphere and amazing staff. I have been here a couple times and each time has never failed. I’ve had a handful of different meals and each was cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful. Highly recommend and it has become one of my favorite breakfast or lunch spots.“

“Thank you for your membership, we look forward to working with you in the future!“

“Good food, attentive staff“
