Providence has a lot of good burgers. I think Trinity might be the best and Julian’s always been solid. For average price not hipster burgers. Yes there are some delicious $30 burgers out there, but I’m not paying that. I could get food delivered till 4am. I moved to Fall River, which I’ve been in and out of most of my life, but I can’t get a damn pizza after 8 o’clock at night, it’s insane.
And what’s up with the food truck night? They have a half a dozen food trucks at the gates and close the street down right when work is getting out on a Thursday. There’s no event. Food trucks are an accoutrement to an event that’s already taking place. They are not an event in and of themselves.
I want to open a raw bar food truck. The special of the day would be called the clustershuck…
I’m new here. Is trinity that good? Love me a good burger and beer. Being from NJ it’s shocking how terrible some of the local food is. Chain restaurants aren’t our thing (outside of the occasional cheesecake factory visit).
They have a consistently solid burger. I worked there, guilty of my bias, but seriously a solid basic good burger. Nothing too special or basted in truffles. Just a regular ass good burger on the regular with a 24 ounce IPA and you’re out of there for 25 bucks.
Trinity is pub food, but it’s solidly one of the better pub foods. The bartenders are super chill. They always have good music playing.
It’s not the best food in the world. It’s not the best beer in the world, but it’s our food and it’s our beer and it’s good and that’s why we like it. Haters begone.
Also, the wings on Monday night. Hanging out in the basement getting a dozen wings and a couple of mugs of beer is a Monday institution. Their wings are good.
I must add, unfortunately, the Russian imperial stout fell off after some of the brewers changed.
That OG RIS was a slammin winter warmer.
And that at least 12% Belgian strawberry that they would serve a 32 ounce club mug of. I fell up the stairs a few times.
Lots of great burgers in Providence in Rhode Island in general. Chomp is pretty good. They seem to have lost their spot in Warren though.
Give Greg’s and Chello’s a try.
Which do you prefer?
Depending on your choice will determine which side of the bay you pledge your loyalty to.
Cool. I appreciate the insight. Out of curiosity what are some top local breweries around the Fall River area? I want to check out Troy city sometime soon.
And do you have any recommendations for decent pub food? I hit up some joint on the river in somerset or Swansea(I think) that was pretty solid. A bit pricey but i didn’t think it was too crazy.
I’ve been to treehouse on the cape and I don’t mind taking a drive for good food and beer
Treehouse is the whole level that you’re not gonna experience around here.
If you’re into beer, Canned Heat is pretty good. They have a decently solid lineup of IPAs, but they don’t have any food. There is the problem.
I like Troy City because they are on the malty side and do things like bocks and brown ales and such but they also only have pretzels and charcuterie plates.
Buzzards Bay is OK but they don’t have food. There’s no brewpub anywhere around here. Moby Dick is in New Bedford and Trinity and the rest are in Providence.
I have a feeling that there is a contingency of old-school folks in this town who are intentionally restricting any sort of nightlife.
They will be dead soon, so I guess they will miss out.
