★★★☆☆ 3.0 Warda Shafi · Oct 2025

Mr. Z’s is just the kind of place where you feel like you’ve walked into somewhere honest, no pretenses. The food hits — big portions, solid flavors — burgers, fries, subs, nothing fancy, just good. The atmosphere is casual and loud in a good way, with folks in work boots, the regulars, the easy conversations. Prices are friendly too, good value for how much you get. If you’re looking for someplace reliable after a long shift or when you just want comfort food done right, Mr. Z’s is the spot.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Erik Gardner · Sep 2024

Update: Latest visit, bartender Deb had quite the mouth dropping the F bomb multiple times and was very rude. Food came before beer. New walk ins sitting at the bar got priority, lost another star, might think about returning sadly, our waitress was GREAT and gave her 30+%, end. I previously gave this restaurant five stars about a year ago, I'm not sure what has changed, but it isn't for the best. We've been coming here for 5 years and for the most part the pizza has been spot on and food on average has been typical of the area, not the greatest. Since we moved here 5 years ago from a very Italian area, Italian food here is not what you expect. To each their own recipe, but pasta bolognese that looks like hamburger helper? I've never seen fish made quite this way, coming from Rhode Island

★★★★★ 5.0 Erika Ryan · Mar 2025

The staff was friendly, the atmosphere very inviting. The food was amazing! We only stopped in for a quick bite, a house burger and wings. Fresh warm rolls were brought out before we ordered. And we also had the Pinot Grigio, which was perfectly chilled and crisp. I would definitely recommend this restaurant as a must-stop for any out of town-ers nervous about if they are wasting their money on in unknown territory. You can rest assured—two thumbs up!

★★★★★ 5.0 George Newfield · Jan 2026

We visited Mr. Z’s Restaurant with our two boys (8 & 6) on the way from CT to RI, right before taking a snowy hike in the woods (amazing). It’s was like finding a hidden treasure. The people were friendly, the atmosphere inviting, and the food hit the spot. I mean it was like a home cooked meal. Boys ordered from the kids menu and I got the lunch special (Lasagne with garlic bread). Compared to city prices, it felt like stealing. Looking forward to visiting again for another memorable experience.

★★★★★ 5.0 Holly Provencal · Jan 2026

I've been coming here for the last 5 or so years. Never have I had a negative experience. The food arrived quicker than I've ever seen before. Chicken parm and lasagna are good portions for leftovers as well.
