Honeybird Kitchen and Cocktails
Honeybird Kitchen and Cocktails: (𝟏/26/𝟐𝟒).
Hello Pawtucket. This is where we’re at. Honeybird Kitchen and Cocktails. Located at 230 Massasoit Ave., East Providence. Yeah we took the trip across the bridge (Note: this spot is right off of the Henderson Bridge).
This place is cozy with a nice vibe to it. They have 90’s Hip Hop playing in the background, and I have to admit the playlist was 🔥🔥🔥.
Restrooms are OK. I would’ve rated them better, but there was No hot water (Fail). That aside the Customer Service was Outstanding!
We sat at the bar for this outing, and the bartender was very helpful and knowledgeable (A++).
We started off with an order of their Hush Puppies (they came with scallion butter on the side). Very Good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We then each ordered the 2Pc Blue Plate. It comes with a chicken leg and thigh and 2 sides.
I got the Blue Plate with Sweet Potato tots and Collard greens.
The wife got the Blue Plate with Pulled Pork Baked Beans and Potato Salad. We also ordered a side of Cornbread (it comes as 2 pieces).
The Blue Plates and sides (collards, potato salad, tots, baked beans), Very Good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The cornbread: OK ⭐️⭐️⭐️
To wash it all down we had their Ranch Water (Don Julio Tequila Blanco, Fresh Cucumber, Lime, Mint, and Topo Chico) and a Diet Coke.
Ranch Water: OK ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Diet Coke. Well it’s a Diet Coke.
Parking 🅿️: Very Good!
Final Thought… Get There!

Hazel Origin Coffee
𝐇𝐚𝐳𝐞𝐥 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞: (𝟏/𝟏𝟑/𝟐𝟒).
Hello Pawtucket! This is where we’re at. Hazel Origin Coffee, located at 245 Esten Ave., Pawtucket, RI.
Don’t let the name fool you, this is way more than just another coffee spot. They have a full menu that includes sandwiches, wraps, paninis, salads, desserts and oh yes, of course several kinds of coffee (hot and cold). They also serve adult beverages! (You can find photos of their menu below).
They use “quality and fresh ingredients” in all of their food. And yes, you can definitely tell.
Customer service at Hazel Origin Coffee is Outstanding! The dining area is warm and inviting with a modern feel. The restrooms are very clean, and they smell good (Win)!
The parking situation is Good as well👍.
With that said, this is what we got…
Cuban Panini ($12.99 - It comes with a side of fries), Nicoise Salad ($12.99), 12oz Slow Drip Cold Brew, and a 12oz Iced Coffee (If you want cream be sure to ask for it when ordering). Total: $46 including tip.
The Nicoise Salad: OUTSTANDING!!
You can DEFINITELY tell the ingredients that make up the salad are High Quality and Fresh. The house-made vinaigrette goes perfect with the salad. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Cuban Panini: OUTSTANDING!!
The ham and pulled pork alone are delicious, but when you add in the mustard sauce, Muenster cheese, and pickles, you get a panini you won’t soon forget. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I haven’t forgotten about the fries, I give them an OUTSTANDING too! You have to dip them in the homemade Garlic Aioli. I promise, you’ll thank me later. That garlic aioli is one of the best I’ve ever had. EVER! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The iced coffee and slow drip cold brew: Very Good! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This would be my new spot for the coffee alone.
I could go on and on because the food and coffee were that good. I’m just gonna leave you with this… Get there👍

Krispy Krunchy Chicken
𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘆 𝗞𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻. 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝟳𝟱𝟭 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘃𝗲, 𝗣𝗮𝘄𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗥𝗜. It’s a combined convenience store and restaurant spot. The dining area looks nice (it’s not too cozy). Customer service was decent. The selection was somewhat limited as they didn’t have all of the items listed on the menu available (i.e. No rice, or potato wedges. Didn’t see any Wings either😞). But all in all, not too bad a selection to choose from.
We ended up getting the 4 Piece Chicken box (came with a biscuit). The plantains, and mashed potatoes and gravy. We passed on getting drinks. Total $15.28 (All food mentioned in this post is pictured below). Oh Parking is ok.
So Pawtucket, this is what we thought…
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞n⭐⭐Pass (Sorry it was very greasy and not very well seasoned).
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good
𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐫𝐚vy⭐⭐⭐ OK
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐢t⭐⭐Pass
To sum it up, Krispy Krunchy Chicken wouldn’t be our 1st choice to eat at (probably not the 2nd, 3rd, 4th…), but hey that’s our opinion. If you give ‘em a try let us know what you think.
