Rogue Island Local Kitchen & Bar: Reviews & Ratings
What a great find. Great food from scratch, quick but not rushed service. We hand coffee, mimosa with homemade pulled pork Bennie's and gorgeous everything bagel egg and sausage sandwich
Amazing food and friendly service. Pulled pork Sandwhich & burger were outstanding. Will definitely go back.
Went here for a "Tpain and Friends" event a couple of weeks ago and the place was nice. There was a special menu with drinks and food inspired by Tpain. Only down side was that we didn't hear any Tpain music.
Everything here was good. I really wanted it to be *amazing* but it wasn't quite there. The Reuben tater barrels needed more flavor. The regular tater tots were crunchy and well seasoned. The short rib in the grilled cheese was good with the light orange fig jam flavor throughout but the cheese was so light, I missed it. My dinner companions were happy with their choices, though the Mac and cheese needed the flour cooked down a little more, good flavor but slightly gritty texture. The service was super friendly and the restaurant was cute. Love the all local concept. Worth a visit!
Went here for breakfast right when they opened without a reservation. They have so many different eggs Benedict and they do it so well. The tater tot's are worth the upgrade fee. Poutine was excellent. Brunch was 10/10, I am definitely coming back here for dinner.
If you're in Providence hunting for a brunch or lunch spot, this is it! Tucked away from the chaos, it offers lots of sitting inside and outside. The food and beer selection are top-notch. My only nitpick? The Bloody Mary could use a bigger glass and a celery stalk. Still, the service is great, and it's perfect for a hearty meal paired with great beer! We will definitely be back!
A little on the pricey side but the food was worth it. You can select between the noisier bar side or go for private dining where it is a little bit quieter. If you are looking for a brunch option I would recommend this spot.
Food was delicious! We were in town for a brief visit and we found this little gem on Yelp and couldn't wait to try. It was a little difficult to find but it has two entrances and it's a little difficult bigger than it looks from the outside. Our waitress was very helpful in guiding us through the menu and suggesting some of her favorites and our food came out SUPER fast, even on a VERY busy Saturday morning. If we ever come back into town we will absolutely come back
So worth the wait! It did not look promising walking into the Arcade, but the exterior & waiting area does not compare to the cool vibe inside. More importantly, the food was superb! "The Bear" brazed short rib with an over easy egg was a wonderful mess in the best way. The four of us all traded bites of our brunch items, and nobody was a "looser"! Attentive & friendly staff that actually like the food they serve. Great tap beer selection, too. Loved the generous pour & low ABV of the Notch Session Pils. House made ketchup was quite nice, a rarity, I find.
