“ I love going to $1 oysters and shrimp on Thursdays! Great service friendly staff. Yummy food ”
“ I came on a Friday night and surprisingly it was not that busy which worked in my favor. The staff was pretty nice. Based off of the website, I was expecting something a little nicer, but still no real complaint. The pizza was really nice and crispy and the Thai calamari was nice and not too sweet. I wish they had crushed up the peanuts for the calamari, but otherwise it was really good. Our drinks were nice not too sweet would definitely consider coming back. ”
“ Last Thursday, I took a client here for dinner- he's a huge sea food fan, so we went for Thursday night buck a shuck oysters. He ate both his dozen and mine! I want to note that my client uses a wheelchair, and is largely non speaking- both of which make outings challenging. The restaurant was extremely accessible for him- no problems navigating and the staff were very accommodating. And they asked him questions, instead of me, which was huge. Staff stopped by frequently to check in, which was appreciated, and was quick to help when needed (extra napkins!). It was quiet, but not "dead"- we could hear each other easily and have conversations without yelling. The only bump in our evening was the parking lot- there are 2 handicapped spaces, but neither is set up for a wheelchair van; we did some finagling and made it work, but just a heads up for future visitors. Thank you to everyone for a great night out! ”
“ If you're from Pawtucket you know this is the old Checker Club! Inside is remarkably different. It's modern and chic. Doesn't remind at all of what it used to be. This is a great place to have a dinner date, drinks with the ladies or a little get together. A lot of options on the menu and I thought the prices were decent/comparable. (Although I do wish a salad came with the meals like chicken parm for $19.99.) Free rolls and butter (but I have to say I did comment to my husband they were really hard and not a lot of soft bread inside.) My vanilla white Russian was heavy handed (some say yay to this and some say nay so you choose if this is a positive or a negative.) The kids mac and cheese was a large portion (yay.) My side salad wasn't really side- large portion. The blue cheese was ok. Not my favorite but not the worst. The buff-a-que wings were very meaty (yay) and the sauce was good. The Detroit style pizza had very crispy edges (loved) but I wish they were a little more heavy handed with the sauce. Our waitress as a total Pawtucket gem. An older woman, who shared stories about her grandchildren with as as we had our 2 year old with us. Super nice, sweet and funny. Little snafu over who was processing our payment at the end that left us waiting for a bit but her personality made up for it all. True score: 3.5 We will go here again. ”
