Reviews for Lucky Dog Tavern - RI in North Smithfield, RI
The drinks were great and very refreshing. The Tuna Tatake & Crab-Scallop-Lobster Cake appetizers were outstanding. We had the... stuffed Lazy Mans Lobster & Salmon Oscar for entrees. They were all fantastic. They ran out of the potato croquette for thesalmon so had to substitute mixed vegetables, so that was disappointing since I heard so much about them. The service was verygood and certainly above what you would expect in a place like North Smithfield, RI....but saying that and re-reading that onlybrings to light how these non-city restaurants are giving you service, food, and experience that you could only get in the city.This place is so very downtown Boston worthy, if not above it because you get a friendly welcoming feeling not only from staffbut also from other diners. In closing these small town establishments are stealing the show and worthy of the drive from thecity to their warm and welcoming doorway. I will be making many more visits here. Read more
First of all the service here is some of the best I’ve had. Period. Don’t let the Tavern in the name throw you. This is a... first class restaurant that is highly praised, with a loyal local following. Yes, reservations are recommended. We were lucky toget a seat at the bar. Now, you would think bar service might be less- than but it was the absolute best. Gary was the mostpersonable, poised, and efficient server I’ve had in years. Maybe ever. He also had a teammate behind the bar that was just asfriendly. Now the food- this is some incredible food. The sauce on the calamari made the whole dish. My husband had a stufflobster entree that was not only delicious but incredibly beautiful. We went big on the meal because we were celebrating ouranniversary. Yes, you guessed it-dessert too.

Our new favorite place! Amanda was our server to our table of 8! She was very attentive, great personality, excellent waitress.... She didn't miss a beat. through our entire dinner!! When it was time for my sisters cake, she noticed my mother wasn't at thetable, and waited until we were all there to bring it out . She even asked us if we wanted to order for someone at home beforeclosing us out. Sara, in the kitchen, is simply amazing! The food was out of this world delicious. We even joked that we were ata 6 Star restaurant. The owners should know that they hired 2 top notch employees when it comes to Sara and Amanda. We willdefinitely be back, and definitely telling our friends about Lucky Dog Tavern! Read more

Holy sh$t!!!!!! I think this is the best restaurant I’ve been to, unbelievable food Extremely high quality, large portions and... prices are affordable. I got their Tavern Style Poutine ($13) and the Bad Dog Burger ($15). Their poutine sauce was so richwith amazing flavors and using homemade tater tots as the base worked great. The burger was just sinful. An 8oz patty toppedwith pastrami, aioli, onion strings, and all on a soft bolo bun. It was a big burger and the pastrami was out of thisworld!! Also, their chicken wings/flappers are bomb! Super crispy, juicy and their Thai peanut sauce was legit. (6 pc is$14). They have a big menu, but I know everything is on point. Check this place out, they are next level!! Read more
I am sooo pleased about my meal that I had to let you all know to check this place out! We started off by getting two dozen... oysters on the half shell, locally sourced from Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The oysters were so meaty and flavorful with aslight salty undertone. I always put a little Tabasco, horseradish, cocktail sauce and lemon juice on them. What do you put onyour oysters? The Classic Escargot were perfectly tender, baked with garlic parsley butter. I paired each of mine with the cute,buttered toast that it came with. Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake to end our meal and what a perfect ending! Each bite was a mouthfulof decadent chocolate frosting and moist chocolate cake. One of the best chocolate cakes I’ve had in a long time. Please checkthis place out ?? Read more
1st visit to Lucky Dog and we were extremely satisfied. The tavern atmosphere, waitstaff, bartender, food was all amazing and... all surpassed our expectations. Friendly, prompt service from all. Started with Portuguese Calamari that was killer; perfectlyprepared with intense flavors and top ingredients. I had the St Louis Rib Rack and she had the Sirloin strip - both cooked toperfection (sauces and seasoning spot on). Btw, BEST Corn Bread you will ever have (toasted). They provide a temperature chartso we are talking the same language with regards to steak prep. Went to hostess to book my seating for today and can’t wait.Thinking Oysters Rockefeller (people next to us had and said the best they’ve ever tried) and Lamb Chops!!! Spent most of mylife in food Mecca’s San Francisco and New Orleans and Lucky Dog is right up there with the best…. Read more
First time at Lucky Dog Tavern was on a busy Friday night. Restaurant is cozy and seats about 50 people. The bar seating was... occupied and the wait time for a table was approximately 45 minutes. We stood near the bar and had a glass of wine and martiniwhile we waited. After about 15 minutes, two bar stools opened so we sat at the bar. We started with a charcuterie board andflappers, then steak and scallops special and clams with linguine. Both appetizers were quite filling and most of the entreeswent home in a Togo box. Overall the food was gourmet, service friendly and not too expensive. Read more
