When I was growing up in Providence, RI, my parents would always come to this place because they liked the food but also could count on running into someone. I was there once or twice while they were here a lot more. My brother and his family still comes here (I live in Kansas) and he likes it too. I know that the place burnt down once but it came back and is still going strong. It has good food at reasonable prices. When I get back I will have to check it out again.
