New American Restaurants near Pawtucket, RI

“What a find! I found this a bit off the beaten path. But SOOO worth it! The 'Everything' sauce 9n the Fish and Chips was amazing! Almost seemed like they were using the pickled banana peppers as the base. Tie that with cilantro and a few other items and you have a real winner here.The sauce on the Shrimp had a similar flare to it, but tomato based (or just mixed in).So think about this a minute. You have a sauce with some pickle flavor. You add salt to your liking (I added a lot) and you have a very interesting flavor for the fries! Genius!The Chicken Dinner was an outside the box way for me to go surf and turf. The seasoning had explosive flavor. Just wonderful!I can't wait to go back for the Salmon!“

“Great staff and great food at reasonable prices. My favorite breakfast spot.“

“Always fantastic and delicious“

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

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

“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!“

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

“Great food. Attentive staff. Shareable plates!“

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

“Last night, we walked towards The Aviary's entrance surrounded by beautiful flowers and lots of hydrangeas. Magical. The restaurant itself did not disappoint as it too was absolutely lovely. The wait staff was superb. Nice and efficient and they got every order perfectly. We were delighted. However, the food left a bad taste for sure. We were served room temperature brussel sprouts that were not cooked! Calamari was overcooked and rubbery. Pasta dish was floating in oil!! Total disappointment. Sadly, this beautiful restaurant has not earned our repeat business.“

“👍 👍 Would and will be back“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“From the moment we walked into Terra Negra, everything was absolutely amazing! ✨ I came from out of state, and this was my very first time going out in Providence, Rhode Island — and wow, what an experience! 🥰

Our server, Fredlyne, was beyond incredible. 🙌 She was so attentive, kind, and made us feel truly welcomed the entire time. She never missed a detail and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. 🌟

The food? Simply spectacular! 🍽️🔥 Every bite was full of flavor, and you can tell they put a lot of love and quality into their dishes. The hookah was also perfect — smooth, flavorful, and made the vibe even better. 💨💫

The service overall was top-tier. We felt so well taken care of the whole night, and that’s something that really makes the difference. 💕

If you’re ever in Providence, Terra Negra is definitely the place to go! Highly recommend it for amazing food, unforgettable service, and the best atmosphere. 🥂✨“

“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“

“I’d say this is the best restaurant in Rhode Island, no doubt about it. I got the honey barbecue tenders, fried pickles and the fried cheese curds and everything was above and beyond incredibly delicious. I will definitely be returning again and again. 😊“

“Phenomenal pork chop tenderloin, full stop! Don't mess around, someone at the table should get this dish. We had the scallops and the sea Bass as well, the pork chop is a level above these dishes.

Smoky char, tender, juicy, and you must dip in the sauce on the plate to get the full experience. This is a must have entree at The New Rivers restaurant.

Baked Alaska was good and we enjoyed the Corn cake with corn ice cream.“

“The place where you can eat real soul food“

“Parkside is my favorite! !!!!! And I'm not just saying that because my hubby works there. The food is truly amazing, the service is incredible and the atmosphere is perfect!!!! I would go every week if I could!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“3rd year in a row, Vinos nailed it! They made and delivered a phenomenal spread for my parents Christmas dinner. SO MUCH FOOD!!! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️everything was absolutely perfect!! Thank you so much guys!!“

“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“

“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“

“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 😋“

“I hadn’t been to this restaurant in a few years. I was supposed to meet a friend for an early dinner (4pm) My friend cancelled so I decided get takeout. Excellent service from a very friendly and accommodating staff. And the most important part, the food, delicious! I took advantage of the lobster fest promotions. Lobster roll was delicious. I could not eat it all. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent food fun environment and really good drinks and shots“

“gr8 8-8 service so so great“

“Absolutely amazing! The food was great and the staff were wonderful. Lilah was our waitress and she was the best, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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...“

“One of the best burgers in Providence!!“

“Just moved to the area and tried Stevie D’s for the first time. The food tasted amazing! We had a Portuguese burger with sweet potato fries and the chili cheese fries (with homemade chili). Nice beer selection - we had the Stevie D’s IPA and a peanut butter porter. We sat at a table but most folks were sitting around the bar and seemed to know each other. There was a live band in the back and a small outdoor space for people to stand and chat out front. Our waitress was super friendly and the whole vibe was chill. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“The food here is delicious! Just tried for the first time tonight and I can’t rave enough. This is amazing, real homemade food, and it’s at the most reasonable prices. Definitely going to be my new go-to spot.“

“I love this place, I have NEVER had a bad experience coming here whether I eat in or order take out. Today absolutely blew my mind, I decided to try the Texas French toast WOW. By far THE BEST French toast I have ever had. Don't change a thing you guys are doing!!“

“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.“
