Absolutely love this restaurant. It's not very close to home but worth the trip. The whole menu, minus 1 item, is gluten free. Many items are also vegan, there are also dairy free options. Very allergen friendly and accommodating. I have celiac disease and need to eat gluten free, Blackies makes me feel comfortable and safe to eat there. I've tried several options on the menu and haven't had any issues. The food is delicious. The GF carrot cake is my favorite dessert and a must have treat. The staff is friendly, welcoming and everything is clean. There is a nice looking outdoor area that I've only seen the entrance to from the parking lot during cold months. The only negative thing I have to say is the parking lot is always packed and it can be hard to find a spot.

A great relaxing late lunch. Our service was handling a large out door section alone so took a bit to come say hi but we were in no rush. Frank’s & food were great. Pizza to go was amazing.

Really nice looking restaurant. The service is excellent as well. My only issue with the restaurant was just the mediocre food. Everything looked fantastic. When you tasted it, there really wasn’t a lot going on flavor wise. This restaurant seems to be very big on portion control. The cheese burger Rangoon taste like a burger that didn’t have the patty in it. There was barely any ground beef in there. Even the cups they give you to drink from were very small. I asked for some honey mustard and they actually charge me $.25 for it. I just thought that was laughable. The $30 chicken sandwich was nothing special unfortunately. The chicken was cooked well but the sandwich had no flavor. I ordered the short rib tacos, and it was way too sweet. The salsa that came with it tasted like pure lime.

I've been following this restaurant on social media for years. I finally was able to make a day out of coming down, going kayaking, checking out a farmer's market and circling around to visit the restaurant. The host was extremely helpful in providing feedback on what I should order, and she also gave me a quick tour of the space. I had no idea how large it was.. very impressive! Since I moved to the seacoast from Connecticut in 2021, it's been near impossible to find good quality food. Even when I go out after work in Boston, there's just something missing The freshness of the dishes I ordered far surpassed any food I've eaten in the area since I moved. I got the short rib tacos, spicy squid and Boston cream dessert. I feel like the dessert could have had more emphasis on the cream, but i

If you’re considering Blackie’s—go. It will not disappoint. The ambiance, service, and food are absolutely AMAZING. GLUTEN FREE ALERT: My wife has had celiac for 10 years, and we’ve tried just about every gluten-free option in Boston, Worcester, and now Providence. Blackie’s takes the crown. Hands down the best gluten-free dining experience we’ve ever had. ✅ Dedicated gluten-free pizza oven (yes, really!) ✅ Gluten-free quesadillas ✅ Gluten-free chicken tenders ✅ Gluten-free cornbread The quality and care are off the charts. You can actually relax and enjoy the food without second-guessing anything. When are they opening a location in Worcester—and can I invest?! Cheers 🍻
