Ladder 133 Kitchen & Social — Restaurant in Providence

This place looked great online with pretty good reviews so figured we would try something different. Kind of a sketchy location. Good looking building inside and out. Could have played up the firefighter theme a little more.

Got there around 5:00 on a Saturday the bar was pretty much empty, there was a couple of groups of tables here and there. Not the greatest sign but it was also 90 out. The bartenders were awesome everyone we dealt with was super amazing.

Small menu which is fine, figure they don't have a lot of items they should do what they have well. Not so much. Ordered buffalo chicken dip, it was just lame. No the way to explain it. We've made it home many times and it's a million times better and it's actually quite easy to make. Was lacking in flavor and all around just disappointing.

Wife had the baby Big Mac sliders. They were really good, I ended up eating one because my food was so bad.

I ordered the hot honey chicken ranch sandwich and it was absolutely disgusting. I can't believe they even served the way it looked. It looked like it was in the deep fryer for about three times too long. All the breading was black and just crumbled and made a mess and was completely disgustingly burnt. The chicken was dried out. Didn't eat much of it. We both had side Caesar salads, I don't really understand the croutons it was like the end of a loaf of bread they were so big you couldn't eat them with the salad you had to pick them up. The dressing was quite amazing.

All around I don't see us coming back unless it was just for a drink but I don't know why we would be in that neighborhood it's pretty sketchy. Bring some change a lot of homeless people begging...

Me and some friends were originally meeting here for music bingo; however, we found out that music bingo is done for the summer season and will begin again in September. Bummer but oh well. There is a cool alternative, they have games on tablets that you can play, as far as I know free, or you can choose from a selection of board games they have or card games to play, which I think is really cool.

So, food and drinks, Wednesdays is half priced wings. My friend ordered the sweet asian wings and I got the buffacue wings. Funny thing, she liked my wings better than hers and I preferred her wings over mines. Hers had a more tangy taste and the right amount of sweet that I enjoy. Whereas mines was supposed to be a combo of buffalo and barbecue sauces, but I could taste more of the barbecue...no thanks! I ordered their watermelon sangria. I am not a big drinker. I did enjoy this drink, however, one was enough for me. Entrees, my friend and I, both ordered the buffalo lettuce wraps. Oh my goodness did I love those. The chicken had a nice kick to it, I had ranch instead of blue cheese over mines but it was delicious. I finished the whole thing. I'll be honest, I scarfed that down so fast I can't remember what else was with the lettuce wrap (I think tomatoes, yep, pretty sure tomatoes are in there).I would go back just for...

My friend and I ate here a few weeks ago. Food was fairly decent. Portions were certainly large. A little on the pricey side for Providence though. We did not get drinks, so I can't attest for their beer. Negative: it was very loud even for a sports bar. Considering how big this place is, and that there are booths in more secluded niches, you'd think there would be an area to sit where you don't have to scream at the person you're sitting right next to. Certainly they can lower the speakers in that area. I don't expect it to be as quiet as a monastery, that's not what I came for, but nor do I expect to have to yell at the person next to me when we're sitting in a booth together, as far away from the bar as possible. We came for an animated, vibrant ambiance, but not necessarily a screaming match. Our waitress was sub-par (barely checked on us, forgot an appetizer but our portions were so big I was happy), but I recognize that's not always the bar's fault, and the high staff turnover that most bars have means an occasional slacker waitress...
