Providence Bar & Eatery

Outstanding service and food. If you haven’t tried the assorted wing appetizers, go for it, the best. We ordered burgers, salads, (Oakley salad, fresh strawberries and everything) and several main dishes. Full bar if you want a refresher while waiting for the appetizers to come. I can’t wait to go back for more and I live 30 miles away.

Neighborhood Family run establishment. Service is always good and the staff is outstanding. This is the place people always want, close to home, good food, good service, supports the community. There is a full bar here and it does sometimes get load but this is a place you are always welcome and the service and food you can count on.

Heard about this place so my wife and I decided to try it.
I will give it a second chance, but want to write about my first experience.
Clean.greeted right away. Drinks came quickly as well.
Menu.way over priced for this area.
Ordered a California burger asked for it to be medium rare, my experience with new places is they over cook everything.
Wife ordered lemon chicken with rice pilaf.
Food took a while. There were 4 people in the restaurant and maybe 6 or 7 at the bar.
Burger was raw, cold to the touch. No flavor at all. Bacon was of poor quality and tiny.
Wife’s chicken was good. They brought her wild rice, she told them she wanted rice pilaf and the waitress walked away and said,” well the menu says wild rice” wtf. .how about give her what she ordered. The steamed veggies were sautéed spinach and 5 pieces of sautéed onions…
So, I wrote the waitress a note on the bill pointing out all of the errors and short comings. She looked 12, hopefully she passed it on to the owner
We will try it again though to be fair.

I have eaten here about 7 times always breakfast and the food and the service has been outstanding. The country potatoes are the nest I have ever tasted and the eggs benedict is always covered in hollandaise sauce and the eggs are cooked perfect. I have been recommending it to everyone I know.
We’ll today I did a take out order and was extremely disappointed. I ask for country potatoes and even tho the server who took my order repeat hash browns back to me and I told her twice country potatoes still got under cooked hash browns. Their was hardly any hallondaise sauce and the egg was extremely over cooked taste like rubber. I called to tell them and they were extremely nice and apologetic but I will never do take out again. Definitely eat in the experience and good is so much better. I love this place and will go back to dine it tho!!! Best breakfast around.

This place won’t be around much longer. They tried, but now taking shortcuts to survive The food is less than average, way too expensive for the quality & portions you get. Drinks cost more than any other local business. I have never seen the restrooms clean, ever. I know they’re trying to survive & hiring a janitorial service might not be in their budget, so do what everyone else does, have your staff clean the bathrooms every single night. At least fake it & wipe it down pick up & remove the trash. A nasty bathroom at any food establishment is a absolute deal breaker. When I ask for a ribeye dinner even though I know it’s $ 30!!! & the waitress repeatedly try to talk me into something else, telling me I could get something else for a lot less $ & I asked why, I want a steak, she says I’ll be right back. When she returned, she said; I’m sorry we don’t have any ribeye. I’m thinking there is no way they sold out. They don’t buy enough because they don’t sell enough. So take it off the menu! Settled for the chicken parmesan at $ 20 that was horrible. So after hiring nothing but friends the owner is now wearing too many hats. Helping in the kitchen, tending bar, waiting tables, but the bathrooms are still filthy. Employees come with enough personal issues & when you hire all your friends they come with even more issues, needs, & expectations cause «were friends» never or rarely works. Now the owners dad is bbqing in the parking lot to try to help out, not to mention drinking while working, but the $ 8 trip tip sandwich was a few pieces of meat hiding in a roll with nothing. It sucks when Oakley already has mostly crappy restaurants. We don’t need another one. The place has gone way down hill & the owner must finally be doing the math & seeing it’s just not adding up. So now much smaller staff, the owner is trying to do everything which is depleting the quality of this establishment. Either fix it make it what you had envisioned or cut your losses get out of that expensive Sierra Pacific lease & move on. Maybe revamp your menu, stop hiring your friends, get rid of the bbq grill in the front yard, don’t have your unkempt father cooking & drinking, clean the place every night, don’t sweep or vacuum next to a table where people are eating. Don’t allow your cook even if it’s your dad to handle food then walk in shake hands, drink beer and then handle more food without washing his hands! If I wanted crappy food, service, my dad drinking & bbqing in the front yard, I could do that at home and not have to pay $ 6.50 for a drink or $ 30 for a steak. I hope you make some changes & get it right. Btw, your friends posting Unilocal reviews is lame & totally inaccurate.

Decided to come here for lunch today, even though they don’t serve Breakfast all day. There was only 2 other customers, so we were told to sit anywhere. The waitress took our drink order, then she came back and took our food order. I decided to get the Corn Chowder, Chicken Salad sandwich/​Fries, and my husband got the Blue Cheese Burger/​Fries. My soup came out first. It was a bit thin for chowder, but had great flavor. The sandwiches came out about 10 minutes later. The French Fries seemed like they were dipped in batter first so they were extra crispy and crunchy. The bread for my sandwich was a bit stale, and the Chicken Salad had the consistency of tuna. The waitress seemed like she was struggling to keep up since she was the only person taking care of drinks, food and payment. The bathrooms were clean, which was nice.

My first experience there was what kept me coming back. I love the grilled cheese, garlic fries, and strawberry lemonade. 2ND time I was there the grill cheese was good but the garlic fries were stale and kinda gross. The garlic was sour! Gave them benefit of the doubt and came back a 3^rd time, the salad was nice and fresh and the fries were okay but nothing like the first time I had it. I gave them 3 stars because the food is good but it’s really inconsistent, a hit or miss.

Terrible food small portions bad service. Was clean. Will never return! Tried 3 times. All a disaster. Brought friends the last time. Waitress forgot a meal for 20 min. The rest of us were done when it came. And the order was wrong. The little waitress could care less. The food was. Worst than Denny’s. Mikes was a much better place. The new owner missed the mark..

I’ll start off by saying that the food is pretty good. Nothing fancy, but not bad. The bartenders are also good. For the most part. I had a really bad experience with the older bartender with long black hair. Vicky I think? She ignored me for 5 minutes with a decently empty bar, then she gave me a dirty look, and stared at me instead of asking me what I wanted. Awkward. Then I ask for a beer, I get another dirty look, and she says «when I see your ID.» So I hand it to her, and she studies it for a good minute or so. And then starts quizzing me on it like it’s fake! Tons of attitude and dirty looks! I finally had enough and asked for my ID back so I can leave, and she starts YELLING at me, «it’s just my job!!» Uhm yes I understand that it’s your Job to check my birthday expiration date and picture on my ID… Not quiz me about my life and be a rude bitch. I had to start yelling at her to get my ID BACK! And then she chased me out of the bar asking what my problem was. Seriously? And when I told the story, no one was surprised! «Oh that’s just Vicky.» Well that’s not ok! And to top it off, I asked another server for the manager, and she wouldn’t get them for me. I like providence, but there could definitely be some improvements.

Came in for dinner on a Sunday evening. The dining area was empty and we were sat near the bar. It was a bit too loud but I’m sure they would have moved us, if we had asked. The advice was prompt, waitress was very nice. They came around and refilled our glasses often. The main star was definitely the appetizers. They make an awesome cheeseburger ravioli and buffalo chicken cheese balls. They were so good, I had high hopes for the food. We had spaghetti, burgers, and a salad. Those were all ok. I had promised the kids dessert but the waitress dropped the check and didn’t ask if we needed anything else. Again, I’m sure I could have added dessert but I feel like they want you out as soon as they drop that check. I’d go again without kids and have apps and drinks for sure.

Lets start with no beer I wanted. They really need an IPA. Zero ambiance. Sandwiches are OK but nothing to write home about. Dinner menu is far too pricey for this venue. I wanted to like it but could not.

stumbled upon this place for dinner one night and go frequently now. it is a nice, casual, family spot, but also has a fun atmosphere at night. the food is always delicious! they always have new craft beers to try and that keeps me returning!
whether a family meal or night out with frieds, definitely stop in this spot! i have never encountered anything but great service and great bartenders

Always top notch service (Cynthia) which keeps my girlfriend and I coming back. The eggs florentine was perfect.

The breakfast here is top notch! I order the classic eggs Benedict. The chef will make it my favorite way, with sour dough instead of English muffins! You should try it, it’s delicious! My breakfast, $ 8.99, really! Try getting that ANYWHERE else. This has become my new favorite breaky place. The lunch menu is fantastic, try the Caesar salad! They have a bar if one is so inclined!

The vary best in OakleyI got to have breakfast with Santa profile is Providence eatery is dressed in Oakley here comes Santa again he’s looking great it’s good to have breakfast with Santa Claus and your favorite restaurant.

I sometimes meet friends for breakfast and dinner. The food is fantastic and the people are the beat. The food is cooked by chef. Yum it is worth coming.

This place had a really nice small town feel. The waitresses gave always been so friendly, and they are on top of everything including drinks.
The food has always been Great! I usually get a Burger, but have had the fried-chicken…Awesome, all the way around!
The bar scene seems to be very local, and everyone seems to love the bar staff.
I recommend.

This is our second time eating here and as far as I’m concerned it’s nothing to write home about. The food both times was just ok. Nothing great. The waitress was friendly but was not attentive at all to get customers. There were only a couple customers in when we came and they were far from busy. Had to wait a long time for a refill in my drink after she stopped by twice to check on how everything was plus we had to wait a long time for the sauce we asked for after our food arrived. The food was not hot only warm. I will not be giving this place a third chance.

My wife has been raving about Providence for some time so we tried it out last night. The food was very good and the service was excellent. Why do they have go out of their way to screw up a nice dining experience with ri-​GD-​diculous Karaōke? Keep in mind, we got there at 6:30 and there were other people dining. Being forced to listen to drunk people who can’t sing is my own personal hell, but it was also so loud we had to shout to hear each other. Mercifully, the cat torture sounds stopped at 7PM, only to be replaced by ri-​DG-​diculously loud country music. From one hell to the next. Ironically, the AC was cranked so high my nose got cold and my wife left with a sore throat. I will only go back after calling ahead to see how loud the music or Karaōke will be, and if they let us know what the temperature is before we arrive. Eating out shouldn’t be this hard!

This place is great! We have been happy with everything so far! Great service, great take out. The prices are low, you get plenty of food, frankly more than enough food.
My husband is very picky and absolutely loves the place! Do not hesitate to eat here! It may be small but to tell you the truth the order is made correctly and I like that! Don’t miss this gem!
