New American Restaurants near Johnston, RI

“I love it there. Very friendly atmosphere, good food and drinks. Live music!!!!“

“First time customers...exceptional food..lots of it...gigantic selection...Maddie was our server, wonderful lady...will return...fried whole belly clams on menu...unusual but happy to see that...“

“Ordered the Juevos Rancheros. The sauce was EXCELLENT, the cotija cheese was EXCELLENT, the beans were EXCELLENT, and the corn tortillas were the BEST Ive ever had! Pretty sure they were homemade. The only issue I had was the tortillas were on a side dish where Im used to having the eggs, beans, sauce etc on top of the tortillas! Still excellent!
Also came with plantains which were very good, Im just not the biggest fan of them.“

“Always fantastic and delicious“

“Fabulous special occasion cozy spot. Fabulous for gluten free dining.“

“We recently enjoyed a great meal with our granddaughter. The food was fresh and well-prepared, the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed, and the newly updated interior gives the whole place a clean, modern feel. A strong pick for a relaxed, satisfying dinner.“

“Excellent!!! Highly recommend, warm and cozy intimate atmosphere.“

“Great food. Attentive staff. Shareable plates!“

“Had an incredible meal there last night! The buffalo chicken egg rolls, the Rogue Melt, and the lobster Mac & cheese. All amazing! I’m more of a vodka drinker but the beer selection was incredible and our waiter helped me pick the perfect wheat beer! 100% I’d go back (when in town). A definite 2 thumbs up!“

“Been coming here since their initial location in Greenville. Went to their new location and loved it. Definitely smaller, but loved the intimate setting. Especially when guests embrace the concept. It’s like you’re all experiencing dining together prompting conversation with strangers gathering for the common love of food. Love everything about this new place. Oh and the food is still phenomenal.“

“Great vegan options! Super friendly staff!“

“We celebrated my daughter’s birthday. Party of 11. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was friendly & hip“

“Gracie’s vegetarian and tasting menus were creative, fun, and delicious! Can’t wait to discover more.“

“Had the pasta dish (began w L)and pork chop. Both were excellent. Really trendy atmosphere. Also loved the cheese cake dessert. The only thing was when it costs $13 for a glass of wine, I'd like a good pour. The pours were a bit small. Service was excellent. Pricey but expected this, would definitely go back.“

“Our server, John, was absolutely top notch, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, timely, attentive, and just a total pro at his job, he represented the restaurant beautifully and if I ran that place, I would be sure to keep him in the public’s service, food was great, view was great, 5 stars.“

“Wonderful night tonight at Cafe Nuovo celebrating a birthday for our twins. The food was fantastic and the server was wonderful. We loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The place where you can eat real soul food“

“My family & I dined at New Rivers to celebrate a birthday and it was absolutely exquisite. The food and drinks were delicious- huge compliments to the chef. Everyone was so friendly and they made us (including my 9mo son) feel very welcome and comfortable throughout our meal. We can’t wait to dine here again!!“

“we had a wonderful experience sitting at the chef's table today for brunch! everything was delicious, we will definitely be back“

“I came here for taco Tuesday and the food was very good. I wasn't impressed at all with the service. Upon arriving , there was no host to greet even though there was a sign that said wait to be seated. Once the bartender took notice she seated us. Our service was very slow.
We sat outside, where there is plenty of bar and table seating along with indoor seating. I will come again but service needs improvement.“

“This is probably the best place I have ever eaten. The food is magical and makes you wanting more. Ive been telling everyone about this place. The menu is diverse with something for everyone. This has been my new restaurant to take people to impress them. I’ve brought my whole family here. They were extremely impressed and they are a tough crowd to please….trust me. I’ve also had my whole office go out here one night and they were blown away. My friends from out of town told me that next time they come this is the first place we are going. That’s how blown away they were by the food. I can keep going on about how great this place is. Basically if you have not tried it yet run. This is by far the best new restaurant in Providence“

“Location/decor/ambiance: the owners have tried to turn the spacious brick and beam interior of a former factory building into a ghetto-ish inner cityscape skateboard park using graffiti-style airbrush graphics, little skateboards that serve as bar chair seat backs, concrete floors painted with Providence manhole covers, etc. Visually, the effect is mixed. I “get” what the owners are trying for, but it isn’t for me an “attractive” dining decor. It looks much more like a dance club for young twenty-somethings. I quickly adjusted to the inner-city grunge decor, but what we couldn’t adjust to was the VERY loud rap/hip-hop music blaring out of some very robust speakers non-stop. Talking was difficult. Yes, I’m an older person, but I don’t begrudge anyone their musical sensibilities… provide its not full of “***** and “nigga” and roaring out at at least 90 decibels. Whatever they’re trying to be, they need to remember that they are l (at 10 am) a restaurant, not a dance club. Food & service: unexpectedly, given the above criticism, the food was outstanding, I mean really good. Caught us off guard. Just beautifully imagined and realized. Would I return? Probably not. Even the great food cant quite overcome the soundscape. Interesting place, though“

“Consistently the best live music spot in Providence these days. One of the last great Blues/Jazz/Rock clubs in Providence and all of R.I.“

“Lovely experience in Warwick RI with our server Hailey. Food was great and our server was amazing. Very attentive and made sure everything was excellent. The bar was a bit slow but she certainly made up for it. When a server stands out, it really means everything!“

“went to 39 west oct 11,great food and great service.i highly recommend going“

“This place is awesome! we got the ham dinner and chicken sandwich and they were both delicious. Our 2 year old liked it too.“

“Strive is beautiful inside. I love how each of the rooms give a different vibe. Check out the speakeasy downstairs. Deon and Chef Teddy make us feel like family every time we dine here. I have not had a bad meal or drink. We have tried both the brunch and dinner menu and they did not disappoint. Date nights are perfect on Friday night before 8pm.“

“One of the best cigar bars in RI! The ventilation system is incredible, every seat is very comfortable and their selection is top notch. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Never in my life had I had a fish 🐟 sandwich like dunes I am a food lover must say from Boston to Vegas to Costa Rica never ever had a sandwich like that order it then thank me I am the honest ONE“

“Great food, cigars and staff. A must stop!“

“People, music, Djs, just excellent!!!“

“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“

“Everything we tried was exceptional.“

“Great place“

“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.“

“The food here is so delicious.! The atmosphere does not disappoint, you need to try out there new pumpkin waffle it’s so mouth watering 😋“

“My husband and I went for the first time on Saturday and sat at the bar. We ordered apps and cocktails and of course oysters. Best oysters in RI by far believe it or not. Drinks were ok but food fabulous! Would have given 5 stars if not for the bartender. She focused solely on my husband the entire time even gave him a free drink. It was very obvious and blatant disrespect to me. My husband even commented on feeling uncomfortable. As a former bartender the general rule is to pay more attention to the wife than the husband out of respect but also because most often the wife is writing the tip. We will for sure be going back but will sit at a table and maybe only order sparkling water.“

“Amazing taste combinations and bar. Staff was courteous and friendly“

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

“Excellent breakfast restaurant at outstanding prices with great service. Nice neighborhood eatery. Beans are offered with crisp bacon and your choice of toast or English muffin. Coffee is bottomless expect a bill for two that won’t break the bank.“

“Amazing food and amazing service. Catering is a 10/10. Highly recommend the meatballs and the seafood pasta!!!“

“One of the best burgers in Providence!!“

“The wings are mind-blowings!!! the atmosphere was great and the music was going strong for the Saturday no cover charge love music. do yourself a favor and stop in for a fun night out!“

“The Arizona Steak Bowl and sweet potato fries hit the spot!!! Outstanding food and fits perfectly in my macros!!!“

“The chicken with fries with sauce and little extra was amazing had it for the first time yesterday. Haven’t had something that good in a long time. Loved it! It was recommended by a friend and I’m hooked. I got tostones too and those were great too!“

“Wings were amazing! The beer selection is great and the service was beyond perfect! Will definitely be back!“

“We just had the thanksgiving dinner and I was phenomenal!!!! I will definitely love this restaurant!!!“
