"One of Providence’s most highly anticipated restaurant openings of 2024, Frank & Laurie’s is the first permanent project from chef Eric Brown and his wife, co-owner Sara Watts. (Brown had previously been operating the acclaimed pop-up Thick Neck inside the Dean Hotel.) Named after Brown’s maternal grandparents, this sunny neighborhood spot serves brunch and lunch from Wednesday through Sunday — the crispy pancakes and custardy quiche are must-orders — plus a weekly dinner service on Friday nights called Frank at Night. There, Brown riffs with whatever he’s got on hand at the time, from roasted rutabaga with smoked clothbound cheddar and apple to whole-roasted flounder paired with a spruce tip sauce." - Erika Adams, Jenna Pelletier

New age, creative taste. Warm atmosphere, shared seating tables to maximize space. Friendly staff. Team environment. Parking can be a little tricky during the week. Tried the hot chocolate with homemade whip cream. Not sweetened. It’s an adult taste not for kiddos. Opened up with the hash browns, they aren’t the usual. Everyone has their own spin. Here they are little crispy cubes served with Aioli. Then ordered the breakfast sandwich. Sausage, egg, cheese and onion. The sausage seems home made. The eggs were just mind blowing. They were super soft and called steamed eggs. Fluffy and flavorful. It all meshed well together the cheese on top was just that. Perfect! Overall, this place is worth it for the service and food. They add an automatic 20% gratuity. I’m never a fan, but this was well earned and deserved. Recommend not coming during rush hour, due to limited parking.

I love the vibes of this place! It’s truly a fun and hipster-friendly atmosphere. The interior is decorated beautifully and everything from the plates to the light fixtures are so thought out and intentional. However, I don’t love that they don’t offer reservations with how busy they are and the long wait times that many have experienced. The food itself was good though! My partner and I split the egg sandwich, quiche, hash browns, and the biscuit. The steamed egg is definitely hit or miss, and the quiche was kind of like-warm in contrast to its cold Brussel sprout topping. The flavor was definitely there though! All in all, it was a decent experience and I would go back to try their dinner or with friends who are looking to try out the place!

Frank & Laurie’s is a quaint restaurant that we visited for breakfast. The interior is beautifully done in mid century style. They had great music and service. The food is perfectly presented. The biscuit and preserves were our favorite. The pancakes were a strong second. The quiche was not very good, it had a gelatinous feel and there wasn’t much egg taste to it. The zucchini garnished was good. The potatoes dish with the poached eggs and sauce wasn’t great either. It was way over sauced. The coffee was great. I’d love to give them another visit.

This is a must try for breakfast or lunch when you’re on the east side of Providence. There’s a great team that runs this place and the staff is always incredibly friendly. I truly believe that these chefs are among the most talented anywhere in Rhode Island. Put it on your list and order several things because they will all be fantastic. I will continue to eat here as often as I can, their menu changes periodically and they’re always introducing New and wonderful flavors.

Stopped by for breakfast and enjoyed their donut, pancakes and an iced coffee! Some of the best pancakes I've ever had, perfect texture and sooo filling! Can't wait to visit again.

This café is a delightful spot for brunch, offering a wonderful ambiance and sophisticated dishes. The natural light streaming through the large windows enhances the cozy, organic interior, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The servers are exceptionally friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. I've visited twice and tried a variety of dishes, including donuts, hash browns, biscuits, pancakes, and steamed potatoes with vinegar and poached eggs with hollandaise sauce. I enjoyed everything except the steamed potatoes, which I found a bit too heavy. Despite this, I look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu offerings. I gave Frank and Laurie's four stars instead of five primarily because of their limited drink selection. During my recent visit, my friend wanted to order decaffeinated coffee, but they didn't have it available. While I appreciate the quality of their food and the welcoming atmosphere, expanding their drink menu to include more options, such as decaffeinated coffee, would make the experience even better. A wider selection of beverages could elevate the overall dining experience for more customers.

I'm thrilled to share my experience at a newly opened restaurant in my neighborhood. It's a breath of fresh air to have an upscale dining option close by, especially since the nearest alternative is in the Hope neighborhood. The interior design is stunning, with a retro yet cozy atmosphere that sets the perfect mood. The food is simply excellent; every dish we tried was a delightful departure from the ordinary American brunch fare, with impeccable quality. The service is outstanding, surpassing even renowned brunch spots like Two Hands in NYC. Overall, it's a remarkable dining experience that I highly recommend.

A delightful dining experience. We had the pancakes (fluffy + dank w/ real maple syrup), the patty melt (delish and massive, photo below) and amazing hash browns with smoked trout aioli (damn!) The menu is inventive and comforting. Warm atmosphere and good vibes. The owners seem to care about their staff as well as their customers—unlike the building's previous occupant. The prices are reasonable for the high quality ingredients and generous portions. (I mean, Applebee's charges the same amount for a sandwich.) I had the nightgarden holy basil tea and it was fresh and soothing—great to see local farms being utilized.

I had a lovely brunch at Frank & Laurie's. I decided to order a few different dishes, starting with the deviled eggs - with roe and crunch they had a lovely texture and taste. I also ordered one of the seasonal salads, with celery root, lemon, and apples. It was very well prepared and plated. The lemons dominated the flavor profile of the salad. Lastly I ordered one of the mains - my favorite dish - lamb sausage on creamy polenta. The sausage was superb - tender and well seasoned - and with the polenta it was divine. Great plating. Service was very warm. The decor reminded me of Scandinavian - very modern and beautiful counter.

I visited Frank & Laurie's this past Sunday with a girlfriend and had an amazing brunch! We were sat immediately and loved the interior/design of the space as well as the friendly staff. We decided to order for the table to split and try the menu which I would 100% recommend doing here. We got the hashbrowns, quiche, market salad, and a single pancake along with the Frank's 75 and the iced coffee cocktail. Everything was delicious & the portions justified the price. We loved how this was a little more of an upscale brunch menu with a warm and friendly feel. Definitely give this spot a try! Extremely easy to park by the restaurant and fast/attentive service!

WOW my new favorite restaurant in Providence!! If a friend was visiting me in Providence and going for brunch, this is 100% where I would take them. It's a cute little mom&pop style restaurant located on the corner of a street that serves amazing food that's well balanced in terms of flavor and texture. Wait staff also very attentive and warm! Must get food: the hash browns! Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sprinkle of salt on top. Oyster aioli as the perfect dip on the side! Also the foccacia in any form. Foccacia with soup was my favorite (soup changes seasonally) Other brunch foods we enjoyed: donut (flavor changes seasonally, but so good), pancakes (fluffy, thick, with dash of salt and generous butter). Deviled eggs (not a big deviled eggs person, but if you are you definitely should get it, the crispy rice on top is great textural change!) Parking: on the street, usually plenty of spots open on the streets nearby though

I visited here for brunch on a Saturday, and the place was packed. The ambiance and decor strike a balance between modern and cozy. I ordered a Bloody Mary, which was okay, though it felt a bit watered down. For food, I had the steamed egg sandwich with sausage and hash browns. The egg had a tofu-like texture, but the sausage was delicious. The hash browns were deep-fried, tasty but a bit greasy. Overall, it was a good experience and is a nice addition to the PVD food scene.

This neighborhood venue located on a beautiful neighborhood offers affordable menu. It's difficult to get a reservation since they only offer one day a week dinner times.( Sunday) The ambiance is quiet, staff is wonderful and helpful. The parking situation is not difficult. There's plenty of space to park along side of the street. I totally enjoyed my dinner. This restaurant its not big, its cozy and a bit dark, which adds a spice of romance i might say, can't wait to go back

From the creators of our favorite pop-up, Thick Neck, comes a new brunch (and Friday night dinner) spot that's quickly becoming our neighborhood favorite. Frank & Laurie's brings "elevated grandma chic" vibes, and the food is just as homey. The menu changes often, but don't miss the deviled eggs and the best hashbrowns you'll ever have--a crispy, cubed block of fried goodness served with oyster sauce. Pro Tips: - It gets VERY busy on weekends and Fridays, so try making a reservation. There is a cute park across the street for while you wait - Weekdays are easier to stop in - Don't miss the hashbrowns and the deviled eggs

I definitely need to revisit Frank & Laurie's but I was not wowed on my initial visit. We live nearby so stopped by soon after opening in the summer. Because we came on a weekday we didn't have the wait that others have described on weekends and were able to immediately grab an outdoor table. It's a small menu so I think next time I would recommend ordering a few options to share for the table. I got the egg sandwich and honestly I really did not like it. I think with the steamed egg it is just a polarizing texture and you probably either love it or hate it. My husband ordered the soup of the day (I believe it was asparagus) and just kept repeating how it was VERY asparagus-y but I don't think he meant that as a compliment. I did however try a bit of the pancakes and the salad and I enjoyed those a lot. Maybe we just aren't foodie- enough to appreciate the upscale brunch or maybe we ordered incorrectly. I did appreciate the cute touches like the plates and cutlery. I will definitely be open to trying again and getting some different food in the hopes of finding a better fit but with high-ish prices and generally a wait to enter it's not high on my list for now to return to.

Frank & Laurie's opened in May 2024 at 110 Doyle Ave. in Providence. Parking is available along Doyle Ave. and Camp Ave. Frank & Laurie's renovated the former Rebelle Bagel space. There are tables for two and four, long shared tables and seats at the counter bar. They can seat 40 inside and there are 2 tables for outside dining. Breakfast & lunch is available Wednesday to Sunday: 10am-3pm. Walk-ins only and no reservations. I arrived on Saturday around 12:00pm and the hostess informed me that only outside seating was available. It was a nice cool November day so it wasn't too bad sitting outside. The menu is small and limited of breakfast and bistro dishes complemented by cocktails, wine and beer, and locally roasted coffee. We started with the hashbrowns with smoked oyster aioli. The hashbrowns were cube shaped, crispy on the outside and shredded potatoes inside. The aioli was delicious. I had the Red Wine & Coke and breakfast sandwich. In Spain, the kalimotxo is made of equal parts red wine and Coca-Cola. I didn't have this drink in Spain but I did have Tinto de verano, it is similar to sangria and is typically made up of 1 part of table red wine and 1 part soda, usually lemonade. I liked the Red Wine & Coke; it was a bit bubbly and smooth. The breakfast sandwich was an English muffin with steamed egg, sausage, onion, and cheese. The English muffin was crunchy and gave the whole sandwich texture. The steamed egg, sausage, caramelized onion, and cheese were very fresh. My husband had the soup of the day which was a honeynut squash soup and the Ham & Butter sandwich. He thought the honeynut squash soup would be a little thicker. The Ham & Butter sandwich was good, but it was pretty normal. Liam was our server and he was friendly and attentive. Frank & Laurie's automatically add 20% gratuity on all dine-in checks as a part of their service model to help provide consistent and equitable income for staff in a way that the traditional tipping system does not.

The attention and service were incredible, making every moment special. The food? Absolutely delicious--every bite was a delight! The place has such a cute and cozy ambiance, and their share table concept is really unique and inviting. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to visit, and I can't wait to go back for more amazing food and great vibes. Highly recommend! What did I have? - Hashbrowns, Smoked Oyster Aioli - Smashed Cucumber, Crispy Fish Bits, Herbs, Caraway - Steamed Egg Sandwich, English Muffin, Sausage, Onion, Cheese

This place recently opened up near me and I checked it out with a friend for brunch. We both got a milkshake, and said it was one of the better milkshakes we've had. They're vanilla with a black cherry, and the option to add liquor. For food, I got the steamed egg and sausage English muffin sandwich. The creamy streamed egg was interesting, but I thought the sausage was the standout component. I'd probably try something else next time, but it was a solid breakfast sandwich. There was both indoor and outdoor seating, and we opted for outside. The tables are good for two, but since they're folding one side it isn't as comfortable to sit at because you can't put your legs under it. The cups, plates, and silverware were charmingly mismatched and the napkins were very nice. The table also had a cute little vase with flowers.

The food here was great and the staff is amazing. I've eaten breakfast here a couple of times and each time I've loved it. I've eaten inside and outside and both are incredible experiences as the ambience is honestly so inviting, especially with how friendly everyone is. The only issue I've ever had is when we tried to go in on a Friday I believe to go and get dinner. I called before I went to ask how long the walk-in line was and they said it was about an hour. So I walked over about three minutes later to go get on the list and when I got over there, they said they were booked for the night. A little frustrating because I just called a few minutes earlier. So make sure you go early to try and get on the list because you can be left without sometimes, but honestly if you just get there early, you're not going to have a problem. They are great when you plan ahead. Can't wait for my next stop in as the food is so good.

Best breakfast in Providence! The vibes are perfect, the food is divine, and the staff are angels. I go here multiple times a month and they change up the menu regularly to keep it new and fun!

Super cute restaurant, it's hard to get a table since they don't to brunch reservations so plan accordingly. We sat at the communal table which was fun and different. Their iced coffee is good but for $6 it was half filled with ice. The menu is small but all the food we tried was amazing and I left full. Definitely on the pricier side but for a fun occasion totally worth it!

Excellent food and service. Love the vibe as well. We will certainly be back. Also 15% of the proceeds went for the LA Fire relief efforts.

A tasty brunch perfect for a sunny summer day! My wife and I experienced this spot where Rebelle Bagels used to be and decided to settle in for a tasty breakfast. The one 'misstep' was an expensive and not so tasty cup of drip coffee ($5 a cup?) that otherwise did not mar a stellar breakfast. We opened the meal with hashbrowns - crispy cubes of potato goodness with a decent but unnecessary sauce. We barely touched the sauce due to the hashbrowns being so tasty! For breakfast I had the carrot salad and ham & butter sandwich while my wife had the pancakes. The pancakes had a malted, roasted flavor - very pleasing! The carrot salad was shredded and had a wonderful umami sauce mixed in. Finally I enjoyed the ham and butter sandwich, but there was mayonnaise like flavor, maybe cultured butter was used? Overall it was very tasty with the coffee being the only misstep.

This restaurant BLEW ME AWAY! Everything from the ambience to the food. It was so delicious. Fun wine list, too. Will definitely be back.

Really neat new brunch spot on the east side. Unique menu and really tasty food. The pancakes were phenomenal. Only complaint from when we went is how long the line was - but that just shows how much buzz the spot is already generating. Looking forward to more breakfasts here!

Absolutely incredible! Immediately greeted with a genuinely friendly smile, and was quickly escorted to a seat at the bar. Having dined at the last place to occupy this space I was beyond impressed with the renovation. It's casual enough but beautifully designed. Like that friend's house that you love hanging out in and secretly envy. The food was to die for honestly. As was my Negroni, which I of course had to order a second of! Started with the hash browns and was completely blown away. Perfect fried cubes of potato perfection accompanied by an insane smoked oyster aioli. I tried saving some for later, but that plan quickly changed. Next up I went with the boiled vinegar potatoes topped with poached egg and a sauce bavarois. There are no words to describe the delicious decadence that was that sauce. The whole dish was simply delicious. I cannot say enough about my experience and highly recommend making this a must try!

Met a friend for brunch and enjoyed this new addition to the neighborhood. I'll start with the food. The menu doesn't have a ton of options (and some were more dinner than brunch.) We shared a biscuit with rhubarb jam, hash browns, and pound cake-definitely enjoyed the carb section of the menu. It was all delicious, especially the hash browns, but pricy for the portion sizes. The iced coffee was delicious, but again it was $6 for maybe 8-10 ounces of regular iced coffee. I do wish they took reservations. We only waited about 20 minutes but the only place to wait is outdoors. This doesn't strike me as sustainable in the winter. I'd like to try more of the menu and would go back for sure.

I had the biscuit with jam and deviled eggs. These I'd give 3.5 stars to. The ratio of egg to mayonnaise on the filling was off, So the egg flavor didn't come thru enough. The smoked trout roe on top was great but the spherical crunchies on top distracted from the boba like pop of the roe. All in all I felt the dish needed better balance. The bake on the biscuit was excellent except for the salt glaze on top. It dominated the flavor on the biscuit as a whole and the fresh butter and raspberry jam received but didn't need a sprinkle of salt also. Together these dishes were overly seasoned with salt. Service was very good and ambiance is great. Those I give 4.5 stars to.

Overpriced, lousy service, trying way too hard to be cool & hip. We need less places like this.

Went last Friday and had a wonderful asparagus soup for lunch that was the best asparagus soup I have ever had. It is a bit expensive, but consider it well worth splurging for a brunch. Will definitely return. The service was excellent as well. l

Richard D.

Yelp
I find this restaurant noisy, uncomfortable and overpriced. The breakfast we had was just average, the pancakes were below average, the conversation had to be shouted because of the packed and noisy table we shared with others. Four people for a simple breakfast will cost you $100. It was filled, so I guess other people don't mind spending too much for not enough, but we won't be returning.

There's a cozy, cute café on the corner of Doyle Avenue. I've been there twice with my friends, and both times the food was amazing. Their coffee has a bit of acidity, which I'm not a huge fan of, but the overall experience was fantastic. The hash browns were out of this world! I can't wait to try more of their dishes!!! Everyone was friendly too.
