Gregg's - Providence

Gregg's came highly recommended by a former local. I liked the restaurant so much on my initial visit (James was a great waiter), that I went back the next day too! I enjoyed everything I had there: pickles, chef's salad, pumpkin cheesecake, corned beef and cabbage, and apple pie. No doubt if I lived in Providence I'd be a regular at Gregg's!!

Visiting from out of town; saw the reviews about the vaunted Death by Chocolate Cake and tried it. The size of the slice for the price is great; it’s big! However, for the love of me I cannot fathom what people are on about regarding this cake. It is MEH at best; the flavor lacks depth, the cake texture is lacks density, and it’s way more sweet than chocolatey. The frosting on the edge of the cake tries to mimic the frosting and chocolate chip combination found on the black tie mousse cake at Olive Garden. Whereas OG’s execution tastes like chocolate, the cake from Gregg’s tasted sugary sweet, not chocolatey. I wanted to like it, but it was really underwhelming so I can’t recommend. Also purchased an Apple strudel. That was fairly good. Not amazing, but definitely better than average.

Pros: •I could literally just go Their for their rolls •The wife loves their pickled cucumber •Their food in general are top notch and better than most places you'll go to. •Their prices are very fair and their portions are great. •Their ice cream Sundae with peanut butter sauce and chocolate fudge is by far THE BEST sundae I've had Cons: •None

My family and I walked in at 9:15 looking to be seated for dessert and not a single person helped us. The restaurant closes at 10, but it seemed like other people were still sitting down in the dining area. There were workers standing at the dessert case that did not give us a second look to even ask if we needed help. Will not be coming back.

I ordered take out. It was good. Though I got onion soup and found the cheese used on it was not great. And kind of ruined it. Also I got a open face turkey sandwich everything was good except the gravy it had an unusual taste to it
