Rogue Island has the best specials, Nicks quality and service is always great, Troop is awesome and such a unique vibe, bayberry food is great but I've never been for brunch, every time I've tried to go it's packed, Julians is popular but IMO not worth the crazy waits when so many other great places are around.

Whats your go-to dish?

Damn, this post has been up for a while and no one mentioned Julian's yet? We'll, let me be the first then...

If you can, skip the hustle and bustle and hit up Mesa Cafe on Rolfe Square in Cranston.
SlickMiller t1_iwqplt2 wrote
Rogue Island is top tier

That Maine lobster and eggs is the only thing I’ve ordered there. No regrets.
aflatminer t1_iwqqwsu wrote
I really expected Julian's to be the top comment. There's usually a wait but you can get drinks from the bar and drink them out front while you wait! I recommend the bloody Marys.
Be careful though, my party of 4 ran up a ridiculous tab before we even got to our table.

Care to elaborate?

Have you seen the incredible Amy’s Baking fiasco? Little Sister is RI’s version.
Fabulous_Interest197 t1_iwr1rcr wrote
I agree, the lobster and eggs is pretty spectacular. But I also enjoy the onion, tomato, and goat cheese omelette. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.
Get reservations, it’s a popular spot.
jsweeney86 t1_iwr1tiz wrote
I’ve been to both, garden is a little fancier and $$$. But both are great.
ousker t1_iwr8yq1 wrote
Could you elaborate a little more? I love local drama.
Distinct-Ad5751 t1_iwrefem wrote
Then you’ll love how batshit crazy the owner is. Tldr search the sub for the history and read the google reviews for funsies. I got sucked in for a couple days over her last meltdown on IG.
BennyKlankenship t1_iwrgh5h wrote
Closed until next Saturday!!!
bungocheese t1_iwrhw3a wrote
The food is good and the space is neat but IMO it's a once a year type of place for me. I think you can get just as good brunch food at other places and the wait is always really long (I know, noone goes there it's too busy joke, har) and other places with awesome brunches also have cool vibes.
eastcoastflava13 t1_iwrieam wrote
Cool, how about you suggest some of these 'other places with awesome brunches'?
Edit: I see you commented with suggestions elsewhere. Carry on...

Troop or Bayberry

Little sister or Rhody hen.
Status_Silver_5114 t1_iws2pho wrote
Oh please . The food is great and the wait staff is great (meaning her staff never had her wait on us so don’t know). Don’t look at her IG then but it’s great food.

She shut down her restaurant because a kid said the food smelled and went on an IG rant. She changes hours/table availability based on her feelings. Employees have been vocal about her unreliability and mood swings. Some of the food sucks. She insults diners.
OP doesn’t need a stress headache when dining.

good spot from before PVD started to get cool again
aflatminer t1_iwse7uu wrote
Yeah that’s fair. However, it is without a doubt the classiest way to drink on the sidewalk on a Sunday morning that I can think of.

Craft Burgers & Beer in Pawtucket is top notch
PipeLayer2016 t1_iwsf2cn wrote
Damn that sounds good
PipeLayer2016 t1_iwsf57i wrote
I like troops biscuits and gravy. They use chorizo.
PipeLayer2016 t1_iwsfav7 wrote
Definitely get there early. It gets super busy
PipeLayer2016 t1_iwsfs4w wrote
No longer open for business on federal hill. I think they might still have a spot in Kennedy plaza. Took so many dates to the places on and near Luongo Square. They wait staff started looking at me funny when I brought in different women
beginnertrades t1_iwsgynh wrote
Legs and eggs still a thing? I heard about this from a friend.
iainvention t1_iwsgzcx wrote
Troop is great food and decor, but every time I go the music is so loud. And I am already pretty deaf!
I like Nick’s On Broadway. Also, if you go a little outside PVD, Howie’s in North Providence is great, and Rhodey Hen in Pawtucket is also great.

I agree with a lot of these comments but i would also like to add Dante's Kitchen. It's not actually in Providence (East Greenwich) but it's very very good.
bungocheese t1_iwsmri5 wrote
I just logged at their IG I think it's just closed tomorrow back open Saturday
Status_Silver_5114 t1_iwsr56k wrote
We’ve never had a bad experience eating there that’s the point. Working there sounds like it might be a different story (assume the same at rebelle then)?
ktherealstuff t1_iwsxg0x wrote
This sounds so good!! Thank you for recommending
ktherealstuff t1_iwsxjg1 wrote
My favorite!! They do goat cheese is omelets which I believe is the superior cheese for an omelet
Mrsericmatthews t1_iwt2q68 wrote
I don't have an opinion about this place. But, why would you want to support an establishment if you think working there could be bad for employees? 😕

Why would you support a business that shuts down when the owner gets mad online? Do you think she pays employees when she has meltdowns? (she doesn’t)
Status_Silver_5114 t1_iwu7edc wrote
Then come out and say that. Your original comment just complained about the social media and Google reviews for anyone tend to suck and either be perfect or horrible like yelp so I don’t trust them. Leading with that back story would have been more useful info. Is the situation the same at rebelle?

Shit I didn’t know brunch was still a thing; I thought everyone just shifted to second breakfast.

We’ve picked troop. Thanks everyone. I’ll let you know how it is.

Bayberry beer hall has my favorite brunch and the bloody Marys are fire.
Distinct-Ad5751 t1_iwurc6o wrote
Why are you so salty about it? She’s a wreck. Of course her employees bear the brunt of her craziness. If you can’t connect the dots, that’s a You issue.
And yes her bagel business is also a hot mess.
Status_Silver_5114 t1_iwut30j wrote
I’m salty about it bc I said the food was good and the wait staff was nice and you assumed the back story was known and jumped down my throat. We’ve never had bad food and the staff has always been kind and friendly. All of that is still true. Knowing more about her being a hot mess is useful info but I’m not going to lie and say we’ve had a bad experience based on your take on social media. We haven’t.
Distinct-Ad5751 t1_iwuu25q wrote
Fair points. My bad, I thought it was generally known she’s off the rails.
Status_Silver_5114 t1_iwuuu3l wrote
Without having someone in the biz or spending lots of time on social media how would one know that? Genuine question. Side note / the blue cottage / how does that stay in business? Talk about bad food….. also fwiw all the “artisan” bagels can’t hold a candle to bagel gourmet. Closest thing to a real nyc bagel.
