“I grew up in RI and now live far away. When I come back home, Christy's is a must stop. ! am fortunate enough to have shopped at liquor stores all across the country and the world. Today I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Deborah. Wonderful conversation, wonderful experience. Had what we were looking for and more. I've been shopping at this liquor store for years and just met her today. There is a reason it's right at the top of my lists as my favorite stores. There is no hometown bias, it's a great store sincerely and anyone looking for a good experience and a business worth supporting should shop here.

“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.”
“Best crab rangoons I’ve ever had! Sushi was phenomenal and the strawberry mint refresher was amazing!”
“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.”

Once she is back to herself and off restrictions I'm sure she will be back for dinner to Thank you all in person!! Very grateful! Thank you again!”

“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”
“Our second trip there in 5 years and it was completely fabulous. Waitress Jen was incredibly attentive, great menu and awesome food that came so fast. The cheesecake is the best we ever had and the homemade whipped cream was to die for. And it was the first time we had so much whipped cream we couldn't even finish it!”
“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.”

“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!”
“yummy! As I continue to wonder thru the RI Riviera (Pawtuxet Village), I am very happy to report that I have found another winner. Poco Loco Tacos has it all: an unpretentious menu containing all the standard issue Mexican favs and some creative ones, low, low prices, a chill counter guy, and a rustic vibe. I took a chance on a basic beef taco and was not disappointed. DELICIOUS flavor, and slightly hot like I like it. If you go, you'll find indoor seating and on-street parking. Recommended.”
“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!”

“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.”

“I love Uncle Sushi & Grill. Best East Asian food in RI from the places that I’ve tried. Their Vietnamese Chicken Pho is DIVINELY flavorful. And it tastes even better the next day. Their Fried Rice is fresh and flavorful. It has the perfect small amount of oil so you don’t feel bogged down the next day. The chicken wings are so crispy when you get them regular. The spicy ones are less crispy of course due to the sauce but both have beautiful aromatic, well balanced yet complex flavor profiles. They use the perfect amount of Fish Sauce in their dishes so that it’s not overshadowing the rest of the components. Also, their Thai Iced Tea is really smooth and yummy. You can tell the amount of each ingredient placed In the dishes are deeply intentional. The staff is kindly efficient and smart. Due to the size of the space they’re mainly a Takeout Restaurant (order in-person or call during non-rush hours) but the food is well packaged so you aren’t losing any flavor during the ride home. Also, I didn’t experience any spillage in the bags during transport. For all 4 items I spent ~$37 and I have food to keep me going for the next few days! I love this place.”

“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!”

If I recommend for take out or dine in. I'd say both. I'd bring my family and friends there.”
“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. 💜”

“Good food, fresh and fast. Late night , will save you a trip to the beach. I will eat here again. 2 thumbs up 👍🏻!”
“The Beef Sliders had more high quality ground beef than a lot of places full sized burgers and came with a generous portion of seasoned fries. The Pastels were new to me and really good. The chef was out front when we arrived and was super friendly and you could tell the pride he takes in his excellent food.”
“It was a great meal. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was great and the food as usual was superb. That's why I go to Legal Seafoods it's an all around great experience for the money. Will be back.”
“The place is so beautiful and the staff’s are very friendly. The most is the foods is so delicious. I will recommend to friends and family!”
“super fresh, fast and hot (temp) for pick up order. they say 20 minutes and are very timely! delicious food in which whatever is ordered, one bite compliments the next. Hyderabadi Chicken Curry and the Garlic Naan are my go-to, and it's always perfect here. ..NEVER disappoints! As-is, the spicyness is great and nice curry flavor. ill be getting it spicier next time, however. The potato/pea samosas with mint chutney and sweet tamarind molé-like dipping sauce is exquisite, I might add! I'm looking forward to trying new items in my next order!”

“This place is extremely clean and they make some really tasty pieces. One of them is a stuffed haddock, which is absolutely delicious. Also stuffies. That are also delicious.!! They also sell raw fish pieces that you can cook on your own. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting this business. You will definitely be glad you did!!”
“Simply horrendous!! The appetizers tasted old, Dinner was cold, BLAH!! Asked the bar for cranberry juice and got Hawaiian Punch!! Took over 3 hours for all of the courses to be served. Finally, the coffee was brought out! Yes, you guessed it—COLD AND OLD!! We never got dessert. Told waitress my husband didn’t feel well and I asked her if we could get a couple of pastries to go, she refused! Paid $40 X 2!! An awful lot of money for high priced garbage and service that took well over 3 hours to complete!!”
“This was our first time at Circe Prime and we found it to be excellent! The food was delicious - we had filet mignon, salmon and the lamb appetizer; the preparation was superior. Our server was Constantine and he was very professional and attentive. We will definitely be back.”

“I had a blooming onion and I have not had one of those in a million years. Like the dinosaurs were roaming the earth when I had one last. Was it the way I remember yes and no. It was a little more salty then it used to be but it was still amazing. I had a rib eye medium rare I was not disappointed thank you Texas Roadhouse for staying consistent and having those amazing tasting rolls.”

“Food was amazing!
I went twice, one during lunch and again during dinner . Main difference I can remember between lunch and dinner was that they offered dim sum and steak. Their dimsum was good but I greatly enjoyed their fried rice, noodles, and cha siu. Along with their skewers!
Their sushi was mid tbh and so was their spring rolls. They offer a variety of foods, typical Chinese buffet entrees. They also had a salad bar and fruit for dessert plus ice cream which was nice.
Service was nice and fast, did not have to wait at all to be seated. Would love to go again!”

“The rice bowl is fantastic. However, y'all need to offer a smaller version. Half the size, half the price, basically a kid's size. Y'all would sell so many of those! Y'all would make hecka bank! Cuz the normal size rice bowl is a lot of food. Sometimes people just want a light snack. Thanks in advance for adding it to the menu. I know for a fact that when management sees this, they will love the idea, and they will add it to the menu at every location. Thanks again.”

“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.”
“They did a great job with the renovation, looks completely different and very modern compared to the old china dynasty. Everything we ordered was very good and service was excellent. Salty shrimp with shell was my favorite, best salt and pepper shrimp I have had around here. Apparently they got the recipe for the sticky wings from the old owners and they were great too.”
“Amazing young man named Alfonso greeted my daughter and I as soon as walked in. He was very friendly and attentive. He made suggestions and knew the whole menu. I had to check the sign and make sure I was in California taco and not a higher end Flemmings or Camilla’s . He informed me it was his first job and he was doing his best leaning everything . He was doing an exemplary job of customer service. More young ppl should share this young man’s work ethic as he is going places.”
“Always a great time with excellent service. Went today and the food was phenomenal. Such a great place I great staff”
