Boundary Kitchen — Restaurant in Pawtucket

Maybe all the staff were new? Everyone was pleasant enough, but yikes-what a comedy of errors! We walked at in 6:25 because plans fell through at another place, and the hostess had a mildly pained look as she advised that there were a lot of reservations that night, so we may not be able to get seated. The manager came over and said to seat us at a table that was reserved for 8pm. (As any restaurant would do.) we walked past 5 empty tables. Dodged a bullet there, right? After a few minutes perusing the menu, our waitress asked if we were starting off with waters. We said of course, and she walked away to get them. She came back with the water, then asked if we wanted to 'start off with' drinks. 2 diets and a beer, and she walked off to get those, too. She came back and asked if we wanted to 'start off with' any appetizers. Lesson learned, we ordered everything at once. I had the chili to start, and I thought it was good. The cheese on top was FRESH out of the refrigerator, but the chili was hot. Boyfriend got the brisket pizza, and he said it was solid 'mid-pack,' so good, right? (I sour when I look at a pizza that has more than one slice with no toppings at all, so I would have been less generous, but hey - his pizza.) He had to ask for a plate... Does anyone eat right off the wooden board the pizza is served on? Speaking of what to eat with... All the food arrived with a smiling waitress and no silverware, so I made the international 'fork-and-knife' gesture. Off she went. Came back with little paper sleeves of silverware. I gestured for napkins. Off she went. Came back (from the ladies' room, apparently) with a little stack of those brown paper ones you get from the dispenser. Not enough for all 4 of us, so off she went. My mom said her meatloaf was cold, but good. (?) My step-dad ordered the same Nashville chicken as I, but with no chiles and with sauce on the side. Which evidently puts the chicken strips on a much smaller plate and deletes the ramekin of cole slaw. But at least it was the same price as mine. $15 for 8 chicken strips puts it slightly more than McDonald's, but I'm sure they paid for delivery. (I happen to like McDonald's chicken strips, so that's kind of a draw.) I made a judgement call about our waitresses' ability to split the check without incident, so I paid for the whole thing. $117, including tip. (Pricey, but you pay $20 for chilled meatloaf.) We took note: of the 5 empty tables which were there when we arrived, only 4 remained. 🤔 My boyfriend told me I should have complained more, but to what end? To heat up mom's meatloaf? A ramekin of slaw? Sometimes, you just have to cut bait and get out clean. Other reviewers seem positive, so I'll say this: Avoid the chicken, order everything at once, and specify hot meatloaf. Oh, and bring your own...

Stopped in for the first time after driving past the building and feeling intrigued. Elias the bartender provided excellent service and Lindsey was very helpful with suggestions. To start, the ambiance was moody with dim lighting, eclectic multi-colored arm chairs in a lounge area for cocktails, industrial accents and amazing lighting. The space visually stimulating. I started off with the Banana Maple Old Fashioned and finished with the Spicy Mezcal cocktails, both were crafted, freshly made and garnished beautifully (they were amazing). For an appetizer I selected from the table share, Bacon Burnt Ends with a side of Mac & cheese (cooked to perfection) and was delicious. For my entree I chose the Chicken & Waffles and was so delicious and aromatic with a sweet scent. For dessert, I decided to go savory and wanted to try the pretzels which are freshly made. Everything I tried here was the food experience I was hoping for fresh, quality, crafted. This was a 5-star experience with carefully curated menu offering a variety of dishes for all flavor palates. I enjoy restaurants that offer something unique compared to other local restaurants and Boundary really impressed me. I will definitely go back. Service was friendly, engaging and provided an overall exceptional first time here. Parking is available for free in two lots on site next to restaurant. Overall, phenomenal taste in everything I tried.

2nd Visit- Weekend brunch- With how great my first experience was I was interested in trying out their brunch options. I sat at the bar and received service from Dillon and Tom which were also very personable and helpful with suggesting what selection of meat would compliment the breakfast plate’s best. I had the Pit Benny with Beef Brisket, the flavor once again was amazing and I didn’t have to use salt or pepper for additional seasoning. The home fries were cooked perfectly and had a nice crisp to them which I love. The brunch cocktail menu is unlike any other place I’ve been to with a great selection of many crafted cocktails with craft ingredients. I had “Mr. Browns Vacation” a whiskey cocktail that complimented my breakfast experience after I was finished. Looking forward to checking out the patio and outdoor vibes on...

Absolutely worse food I've ever eaten, from appetizers to main course. It was completely empty on a Saturday night with only one booth available, the rest of the seating were bar style table tops. The yams couldn't have been any bigger then 2.5 inches long and 1 inch wide ($15) and the kicker it didn't taste like yams, tasted greasy and it was burnt. What made the chicken fingers ($15) some what edible was the dill sauce, Couldn't eat the meatloaf ($20) because of the potent smell of smoke coming from them and how dry and charred they were. Bar couldn't even rim the glass of my margarita cup fully, probably had less than a child's pinky worth of sugar, presentation was horrible, drink wasn't any better. Ordered a coke which was flat their remedy was to upcharge me for a generic brand that came in a glass. Husband Mac and Cheese was grainy ($5 for about 2oz) It had no flavor. His mashed potatoes was bland and watery you could tell the potatoes were over cooked. The smoked pork shoukder had no rub nor flavor and the sauces that came out with it were so gross he had to spit it out onto a napkin. Complete waste of $100 but what my husband and I did get was a nasty stomachache for about a day and a half. We never complain or review another establishment negatively because the restaurant industry is so tough (experienced in the industry) but this was...
