Restaurants in East Providence

“3/2025 - Best sandwich of 2025 ✅👍 Slick on-line ordering (Clover) and it was ready BEFORE it was supposed to be. Only ate 1/2 for lunch.....and looking forward to a snack later....... Plus 2 dinners to go for later in the week or to freeze…. This place has been on my list since whenever I saw it on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives….. A+ and TY Kerry for the catering info.”

“Food was good. Way to expensive for what you get. Dated dacour. The cook threw the sandwich onto counter it fell off and fell to the floor, shehad to make a new one.”

“We got a big stack of party pizzas for our wedding yesterday and they were a big hit. Good reviews coming back to us. Staff were friendly and helpful when we placed our order.”

“love this place. my only advice is make more bakery items because any time you go past like 11 or noon almost everything is sold out :(”

“Chicken is very good but was not particularly blown away by any of the sides which was a bit disappointing. Still a cool spot and will be back next time I have a hankering for fried chicken”

“great food with very nice owner who makes you feel at home.”

“Highly recommend the pepperoni pizza it was fantastic, will be back to try more. Took a pizza to go at lunch time, no waiting around you could set your watch on their timing! Interior has a cool vibe too.”

“I’ve been here a few times! As a former bartender at Rockn' Times and have spent many many hours in that building … I have to say John has done an amazing job remodeling the space! The staff is super friendly! The food is great! Karaoke was fun even tho the one time I sang, I tanked my performance. I do need to get back there to redeem myself! The owner is a huge supporter of our community and very generous to local organizations! Visit the local and support our town people! You won’t regret it 😊”

“Was delish!!!!! I highly recommend trying one of their dishes. Stopped in for lunch for the first time. The girl was so friendly and helped recommend a dish as I had zero idea what to choose. I got the Chilli Mango bowl !”

“Good food great atmosphere friendly staff”

“We tried this place for the first time and absolutely loved it!! Everything was delicious and so flavorful, will be ordering from this restaurant again!!”

“We have eaten there three times with friends over the past couple of months. The food has been fantastic each time, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming (prompt and efficient service too). We will definitely be going back!”

“CELIAC FRIENDLY....First time having Korean food. ABSOLUTELY DELISH! House made Korean hot sauce on the table. Advise..use sparingly!!! Appetizers are good, but you will be bringing home leftovers unless you are with a group. Had the Bibimbap with bulgogi beef. Can you say Oh My God!! so good! and the Kimchi is to die for! Definitely going back with the Family. They also can accommodate Gluten-free for Celiac, which is a plus for my daughter! Soju and house wine available, not sure about beer or other spirits.”

“great food a warm and friendly place to dine. great service.”

“What can I say? Avenue N is definitely one of the best in the state for farm to table comfort food and cocktails. However they really outdid themselves with, what I would call, the new “it” dinner option- the birrio burger. Every bite has flavor & every bite melts in your mouth. I hope this becomes a weekly special due to its uniqueness. My “pear-suasion” drink complimented it perfectly. As always the staff there is top notch. Definitely make a reservation for an epic experience. PS please change up your dessert menu. We need some new creations.”

“Love all Seasons Cafe excellent iced coffees, sandwiches are so good and the best Watermelon lemonade ❤️”

“Their chocolate babka is exquisite 🥰 Well worth the trip to find where they're selling on a Saturday!”

“Incredible food , friendly staff. I wish I lived closer. We will be back !!!”

“I ordered my daughters birthday cake from Taunton Ave bakery and it’s was absolutely beautiful and tasted amazing ! It was so fresh and can tell they took their time to make the cake beautiful. My daughters stated this was the best birthday cake she ever had !”

“We had a lovely, very long lunch here today. Everything we ordered was really good. We had the soft cheese and grilled sardines for apps, then 4 main courses, 2 were specials. If they have the peas with pork, chorizo and eggs, get it. It was fabulous. The deserts were good as were the coffees. Sangria, some beers and a bottle of nice Portuguese wine rounded out our lunch for four. Our waitress was wonderful. The place is small, but really nice. Finally, the price was very reasonable. We will certainly return.”

“Went here for lunch and the food and drinks were really good. The waiter was super nice and was attentive to us as well. We will definitely be back”

“Delicious ice cream and amazing service- Callie went above and beyond for my kids, we will be back! �”

“Absolutely delicious ice cream! Never disappointed!”

“My family and I just enjoyed your restaurant week menu, and Monday specials. It was all delicious and large portions which mean lunch for tomorrow. Best dish was the load nachos 5 stars!!”

“About as good a bar service as I've had anywhere. I can count on one hand how many bartenders I've seen take that good care of a busy bar, fantastic. Great bands as well with a space to dance and have a good time.”

“Great flavors … fast service. Only pit fall is the parking …”

“been going there for over 15 years,always good food and a great staff”

“I’ve been here a few times for lunch, and it never disappoints. Most of the time I order the chicken parm sandwich and fries. It’s always been good, every time I’ve ordered it.
They have a pretty extensive menu of Italian-American style food. A lot of pasta, sandwiches, pizza, etc. I’d never tried the pasta, but we’ve ordered pizza before, and it’s pretty good.
Whatever I’ve ever ordered from here, no matter what, it always comes out piping-hot, which is great.
The chicken parm sandwich was no exception, the super crispy chicken cutlet was crispy on the outside, and tender and flavorful inside. It held up very well to the lava hot marinara sauce it was covered with, and the mozzarella cheese-pull was the best. This place is definitely in my rotation of chicken parm sandwich spots.
The inside of the restaurant has weird decor. I guess it’s supposed to look like somebody’s grandmothers living room. I guess it does sort of. There’s a bunch of random old photos and items on the wall that makes it look dated.
The food is usually really good though, and I will definitely be back for more chicken parms.”

“5 stars: going for gift-box nougats for gifts this December, 2014. (Travel well).”

“I have ordered multiple times now and every time the food is amazing,especially the pizza . Highly recommend”

“Great food and service! Casual, no wait on a Thurs. night downstairs. Wait staff pleasant and accommodating!”

“Two places to explore, the restaurant and the store. We enjoyed both! At the restaurant, hot food that one can place on plates and dine in, or use the takeout containers. We loaded up on meat, feijoada, sausage and chicken. Everything gets weighted at the end. There are plenty of tables and the restaurant is accessible. Street parking was easy.The store is smaller and one can buy brasilian supplies (even clothing) and (what we were looking for) salgadinhos.We enjoyed some hot, made fresh, but took most of the food home to eat later.Everything heated up well.Delicious!!”

“We got the gold fever wings which were crispy and delicious. The clam chowder was thick and very good. We also got burgers that were delicious as well. Food here is always good.?”

“Gracias por excelente servicio. muy rica comida. quedamos satisfechos. buscamos un restaurante en el area y nos sorprendio volveremos. gracias desde el cocinero al mesero super amable.”

“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.”

“Stopped by when they were in Douglas at a new business in town. Tacos were AMAZING. Staff was friendly! Ingredients fresh! Will visit this awesome food stand again when they are around the area. 😎👍”

“I love Baja’s the food is amazing! The atmosphere is loving and comfortable. The staff are always friendly and welcoming! I would recommend 10/10! I would love to see them more in the CT area. Preferably Bristol, CT or Southington, CT!”

“I have to say, I have never had a bad experience here, everything has always been spot on. From a warm welcome when I arrive, to a Thank you for coming in on my departure.
Just a very well managed place. Very pleased.

Parking: The best

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.”

“I drove ten miles to this restaurant and tasted a red oil dumpling and their Chongqing spicy chicken. It was worth it! This is the first time I tasted such an authentic taste of my hometown in Chongqing👅”

“Never had a hot wiener before and they were delicious. Service quick and courteous”

“Most times, no cover. Friendly staff. Great music. Love the outdoor venue”

“Best fried seafood platters in all of rhode island. 🤤 You're missing out if you haven't eaten here yet. Plus, always great customer service!”

“Poezonnies offers quality food, amazing service and a great low key atmosphere. I live and glad they are a neighborhood staple. I had a bad experience on the phone and came in the next day and the manager on duty totally made up for it!!”

“I thought this place was so dumb cool, they really nailed that 50s retro vibe!! I loved that they named all the omelettes after stars from that era!! I had The Fonz which was delicious & those home fries were some of the best I've had!! My wife got the cheeseburger & she said it was really good!! The food is fresh & our server was great!! If u are ever in this area, give them a try!!”

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”

“The ONLY Dunkin we go to!!! We usually go between 5am and again@10 am for the grandbaby's DONUTS!!! She loves her chocolate munchkin!! We go here not Only cuz of the deliciously made food but also the workers are beautiful ppl they make getting a bagel for my hubby Melvin a happy event to start his day.. they make my start to my day energized with making my sandwich perfect as I'm so picky and I love love the way the make it... and they make my granddaughter so happy with her Donut!!! With this Dunkin our family truly runs on Dunkin!!! ♥️♥️♥️🍩🍩🍩🍩”

“There is no parking here. Just park on the shoulder from the opposite side of the road and check in. Backing from street isn’t very difficult (if you have more than 2 yrs experience), but if you’re dry van, they might give you the more difficult single dock. They also don’t appear to answer the phones, so who knows if you can arrive early and get loaded and with limited parking, it might just be best to get here 1 hour before appointment. Their warehouse is small so who knows if they have your product if you were to decide to show up too early.”

“My family has been going to the Son’s since my grandfather (Papa Lou) moved across the street over a decade ago. We hosted my daughters 16th birthday party in the upstairs hall and had a wonderful time. Everyone is very welcoming and I just love the popcorn served. It is a great place!”

“quite frankly ; everything”

“My husband and I absolutely love coming here. We love how the steak doesn't taste like the grill. It tastes really good and it's a great portion for the price. The wings are sooo good as well.”

“I was very hungry and decided to go to the jersey mikes near my house. The 2 young men working there whose names were Will and Jelson helped me pick a sandwich because I have never been there before. They recommended me the Big Kahuna and it was the best sandwich I have ever had. The service was amazing and the food came out quick. Usually I dont talk to the servers at fast food places but they were actually putting in an effort to make my experience wonderful. I 100% recommend!”

“Good food , clean and friendly staff”

“Service, quality of food was fabulous!!”

“Update: Highly impressed by quick owner response! And very glad to hear that it’s not completely closed even though for sale! We must just not pass it at the right times. Will have to stop by on a day other than Mon/Tues. Haven’t eaten there yet but I love Hershey ice cream so I’m sure it’s great. And it’s location is great, too!

Thank you for your response. It’s amazing you have served the area for so long! Life is crazy busy so I’m sure no one blames you for selling! Have a great summer!

Original Post:
This place is for sale and that doesn’t mean it’s closed down necessarily but we live right near here and it’s never open during open hours anymore so I’m assuming it’s closed at least for now. Wouldn’t have star rated it for this but have to. Just so people don’t make a trip. Current as of 8/4/24”

“This is a nice neighborhood place to stop in for a bite / beverage. The food is good, as is the atmosphere. We came in before heading to the Comedy Connection up the street and had an order of sliders and some "pickys." If you're in the area, stop in. I think you'll enjoy it.”

“I ordered Papa Gino's delivery from Highland Ave. East providence last wednesday very good Italian food because I was sad not to see Papa Gino's anymore on Newport Ave. Brb I go jump off a bridge now close by jk lol

Vegetarian options: I didn't order I'm a meat lovers same with grinders”

“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!!!!!!!!!”

“Great food & drinks.. Large portions. Home made flair! You won't be disappointed”

“Literally 10/10 pizza. This pizza reminds me of pizza I had from my childhood, I can’t explain it. Anyway, it’s delicious, perfectly crunchy crust, too. And the chicken caesar salad has REAL and tasty chicken. Not rubbery or bland. The Caesar dressing is some of the best I’ve had. Pro tip: add cucumbers to the salad and it’s even better. Prices are reasonable and they have personal, small and large pizzas, no mediums, just an FYI Oh and the employees are super friendly both in person and on the phone. I went last night for the first time and I’m already tempted to go again this week! It’s just that good.”

“Excellent food delivered with a smile and genuine appreciation for your business. 💪👍❤️”

“Are used to live in Rhode Island and I never tried this coffee but after trying it I can tell you that I missed out. If you like sugar, this is the spot for you for sure. I even like it better than most of the chain brands that are around, and I love the convenience of it being located in a gas station.”

“What a pleasant surprise! Tried this spot on a whim the other day. Was a little thrown off by the set up but I was so glad we decided to give it a try. The food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were so friendly and informative. I’m a picky eater but, even though the selection was on the smaller side compared to your standard buffet, everything I tried was very good. They definitely offer quality food here. Will be back again for sure!”

“Great place for a quick lunch. Very nice guy that runs the place. Can't beat the price.”

“This was an excellent amazing incredible dining experience!! We walked in late afternoon on a chilly Saturday afternoon. We were asked if we had a reservation, which we did not. The restaurant was maybe 1/3 full. We were seated at the bar which we actually really enjoyed. The menu had many tempting choices. We decided on a glass of wine for him and a Pumkin head for me. As an appetizer we chose the meatball appetizer and the warmed spinach salad! Both really very tasty! We chose a traditional margarita Neapolitan pizza - absolutely delicious!! But what really really stood out to us was Brian!! His clear passion for his craft and his restaurant was so crystal clear and we loved his enthusiasm!! It was clear his staff were all happy to be their best and the repeat customers on either side of us who professed their love for the place made us ask…. How can we get one of these in our town!!?? We will absolutely be back in the very near future!! Brian, his staff and their food all have us anxiously awaiting our next meal among friends at this fabulous place!!!”

“Great food, nice bar 🙂👍”

“The food here is incredible and the staff is very friendly. I just discovered this place yesterday and I came back today because it was so good. Had the L25 yesterday and L23 today. I requested both extra spicy. So flavorful! Also, the portions and prices of these lunch specials were great! I am sad to learn they will be on vacation for the whole month of July.”

“Good service and neat place”

“Ordered food here a few times and occasionally they have forgotten straws, sauces, and on one occurrence missed a sandwich only for me to notice after getting home. I highly recommend checking orders when exiting drive through before leaving the lot just in case something was missed. Overall, the service is much better than the near by McDonald’s, but I would still say it is just average for your conventional burger fast food chain.”

“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!”

“The servers are excellent and the food is great. it's always hot too”
