A lucky find
DESCRIPTION: This place looked like it might be too hip for its own good, but I ended up pleased. A nice atmosphere (that I believe becomes clubby later in the evening) and good food with larger portions than I expected won me over. Based on the portion I expected, I ordered what I thought would be overpriced salmon but was pleased by the size and preparation (interesting spices) of the meal. My date enjoyed her meal (I don't recall what it was) but wished she had ordered mine.

A Must in Newport
DESCRIPTION: To visit Newport and not stop in to eat at the Cheeky Monkey would be a crime. To begin with you walk into an incredible atmosphere, beautiful decor, and an amazing staff. If that's not enough to make your night, the food is out of this world!! They have a variety of things on the menu for a variety of different people. I highly recommend making The Cheeky Monkey a dining adventure you will not forget.

Incredible.
DESCRIPTION: There is no other establishment in RI that could live up to what Crazy Burger provides. The wide and colorful array of food and drink is delicious, wholesome, and thoughtfully prepared; decor eye-catching and engaging. Definitely worth a visit and many returns.

Not all that crazy over Crazy Burger
DESCRIPTION: I went there after reading reviews for all the wonder vegan dishes available. There were not many choices at all. I did order the mushroom burger and was very disappointed. It was nothing more than a pile of much on a roll. As far as deserts go -- well if you like snickerdoodle cookies or rice dream that go carzy... I like more options. I will stick to northern RI.

Fantastic
DESCRIPTION: This has become our favorite place to eat in the area. We have never had a bad meal whether it be breakfast, a burger or a complete dinner. The staff is the friendliest and most considerate I have met. Substitutions are not a problem and you don't feel as if they are doing you a favor. Love to sit in the back patio in the summer!

DESCRIPTION: If you're looking for a great place to eat with an outstanding and interesting environment, I would highly recommend Crazy Burger. The food is unbelievable. I've never tasted anything like it. It is well worth your time to experience such wonderful part of Rhode Island.

DESCRIPTION: I've been going there for years now, and I absolutely love it. I'm not vegan or anything, but I still find all of the dishes to be something unique and different that can't always be found elsewhere. It's my favorite restaurant...

Crazy good
DESCRIPTION: Ever since the first time I ate there I have been obsessed with the crazy burger. It became a joke between my friends of my obsession. The breakfast in my opinion is the best. I fell in love with the homemade ketchup and brioche toast. I love the mugs collection. Most of all I love the people. I remember sitting down at the counter reading the paper as I waited for some take out and they were lighting the tea lights and I thought to myself "I love this place."

The Perfect Date
DESCRIPTION: Ask your S.O. to take you to Crazy Burger for a dinner for two. Perfect atmosphere for anything from a casual lunch, intimate dinner, or night-after breakfast *wink* Delicious and inventive meals that electrify the tastebuds and excite the senses. My favorite place in RI, and hottest date spot for me and my guy.

Unusal Food, Not A Clown In Sight

Hidden Treasure
DESCRIPTION: I vacation in Narragansett regularly but never knew about Crazy Burger until this past summer. The staff was excellent and the food was great. It was different enough to be interesting yet familiar enough to enjoy. The in-house foods and drinks showed a whimsy and a creativity.

Julian's sucks!
DESCRIPTION: Horrible service. 45 minute wait for an omlette. The food is nowhere nearly as good as the menu descriptions. Great interior, but that's not enough for me. This was my second crappy visit -- there won't ever be a third. Avoid Julian's at all costs.

Nice variety for vegetarians...
DESCRIPTION: ...but that's the only plus. Everything is dirty and the waiters are terrible. I've eaten there four times for breakfast, and twice my food has come out incorrectly. The music is good, as is the decor, but that's not enough to keep me occupied during the hour I waited for the wrong food.

Feel bad for the other reviewer
DESCRIPTION: I've had nothing but good luck with Julian's. I like the dinner food, and thought the breakfasts were so so. But for a place to hang out, see and be seen, and in the meantime, enjoy some great dinner, as far as I'm concerned they're hard to beat.

Interesting food, painfully slow and indifferent service
DESCRIPTION: I had been to Julien's a few times for dinner, and while I was always fairly impressed with the menu (always changing, and usually full of interesting combinations), I had received consistently poor service. Things like seating next to a horrible draft (more like a steady wind) in the back of the restaurant during winter, being seated and waiting 10 minutes before having a drink order taken, and then another 20 minutes before we had our actual order taken. Anyway, I decided to try their brunch because of the great reviews here and because I figured service wouldn't matter as much. I was impressed by the variety of food again. I doubt they change their brunch menu as often as their dinner menu since it's mostly "build your own", like an omelette with any of three fillings. But they have a great selection of fillings (the usual, plus things like black beans, blue cheese, chicken), and toppings for pancakes (your choice of milk or white chocolate chips, for example). Unfortunately I once again waited a long time after being seated to place my order, and our simple order of two omelettes took about 25 minutes to be prepared. Julian's seems to know they've developed a reputation as the hippest place in town (I saw no fewer than four Providence Kickball League teams represented among diners), so they just don't care that their service is terrible. So, go for some interesting foods like spinach and blue cheese hash, but don't expect a wait-staff that puts in any effort.

Good place
DESCRIPTION: The earlier reviewers must be nuts. It's pretty laid back with great food. I like that the dinner menu changes for the season. For breakfast, I wish I could eat there more often. There are only a few places in Providence that serves breakfast. Julian's just happen to be the best. The wait & service might be slow. I'd rather knowingly wait for a table where good food will be served than wait for a table where food is mediocre.
