We were in the area and looking for somewhere tasty to go for lunch, and after seeing the reviews, we decided we wanted to come to blackies! Even though we were a walk in, they were able to accommodate us and accommodate us, they did. Most of the menu can be made GF, and there are pages, upon pages to this menu. Not only did I enjoy my meal (I got the French Onion Cheesesteak with Fries and it was SUPERB 🤌🏽), but my gluten eating family also had a meal. My Dad even said it was the BEST Ruben he's ever had (and he loves a ruben). Since it was our first time there, our wonderful server was able to field all of my GF/Celiac-related questions with ease. The restaurant is owned by two lovely women: one of whom has Celiac. They have dedicated fryers, AND they have separate kitchen tools (knives, utensils, cutting boards, aprons, etc.) for the preparation of GF meals. On top of all that, my food was brought out FIRST and SEPARATELY. Our server even brought out a new bottle of ketchup with my food so that there wasn't any CC. I felt so well taken care of by the staff, and so safe while we were there, it was a new level of Celiac-care in this dining experience. I cannot more highly recommend blackies if you're ever in RI/Providence!!!

We love it here. We've been for lunch, dinner, trivia, and just drinks. The food is delish. And they have gluten free pretzels that are fried in their own frier!! I have Celiac disease and have never had a single issue. I've been here so many times, and it's always been good!

This was the best dining experience I have had in a long time. Since being diagnosed with Celiac, it is really hard to enjoy eating out without fear of “being glutened”. After reading tons of reviews and the allergy safety protocols on their website, we decided to give this place a shot. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with nothing but assurance and the staff were so incredibly kind. There is a food safety coordinator certificate on the hostess stand that is also really impressive. On OpenTable you can say if you’re celebrating something at the time of your reservation, and while I have filled this out before, no restaurant has ever acknowledged it. I mentioned in my reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary and as soon as we walked in the Food Safety coordinator who I also think is the owner told us happy anniversary, followed by the woman who walked us to our table and our waitress. At the end of our meal we were gifted a surprise gluten free crème brûlée with a candle in it! It was just the most special night with the most incredible food. Everyone was so kind. I can’t sing their praises enough.

This place is absolutely amazing, hands down! My husband and I are not vegan or vegetarian, but we wanted to incorporate healthy eating into our lifestyle for many reasons. I found this place after doing an extensive Google search for healthier options, and we decided to take a drive to R.I. to see how it is. When you first walk in, the atmosphere is so inviting. Everyone is all smiles and seems to be genuinely happy, from the employees to the customers. They have ample amount of seating to either sit, eat, and chat or to catch up on some work. This place is BUSY, but with how fast and efficient the staff is, you'd never really know it. They have a nice assortment of many different vegan cupcakes that are amazing! I HIGHLY recommend the Lemon Lavender Cupcake 🧁. I've never tasted anything better. From gluten-free chocolate chip cookies to different brownies and more. Who says you can't have a fun treat while remaining healthy? Their pre-made refrigerated food is amazing as well. I can't quite remember the name, but their soba noodles with shredded cabbage and spinach with, I believe, peanut sauce to pour over is chef's kiss 💋!! My son loved their chili with vegan sour cream. I also tried their core drink (bananas, peanut butter and something else....I added turmeric for my health)! It was amazing. Had I known, I would have bought a larger size. Truly, I recommend this place to ANYONE seeking vegan options or just to begin a healthier lifestyle all around. They will NOT disappoint! Next up is their Garden Grille! 💕🙏🏽
