I had a crazy good comfort food/kinda tacky but totally fulfilling Italian meal here a few months back. We sat outside as after a day of hiking, you wouldn't have wanted us sitting in a non ventilated area so we sat out on the deck , the view isn't much, some woods and the parking lot but it was nice. Despite us being one of the few tables outside the waitress was around plenty and our drinks were always filled. First we got a bread board, bread was soft and warm, so kudos. We ordered Calamari to start with, it was average, nothing to knock your socks off, but it wasn't rubbery or too oily. Plenty of banana peppers and olives. I got stuffed mannicotti for my dinner. It was super cheesy and the sauce was better than I was expecting, not 100% homemade but there was some effort put into it. If i found myself hungry in Burillville again, I would so stop in here over Wright's anytime.

Uncle Ronnie's hit the spot. Their portions are enough for like 2+ meals. Went with a big party and all were more than satisfied with their food. Their spaghetti and meatballs is deliscious my 3 year old couldn't stop asking for more. I got the dock side, my white clam chowder was thick and creamy, my home made fries, fish and chips and clam cakes were so good! Their menu has many tasty choices. The atmosphere is casual and family friendly. Downstairs was perfect for our big party. The kids could run around and play after eating. We will definitely go again.

Everything here is so good! Try the award winning clam chowder. It's the best around. The shrimp fajitas are my favorite. The hardest part is deciding what to get. The portions are huge, the service is great, and the drinks are yummy! They do catering, and they have a function room downstairs. There's also a deck outside for enjoying a cool drink on a hot day. It's a great out of the way family place. We will be back soon!

Food is hit or miss. Had great crab legs one night and poor steak tips another. French onion soup is horrible. Service the same. Hit or miss. Entertainment can be great have enjoyed many bands.

Always a good meal here - with great service! I always get their French onion soup here which is always delicious. I recently sampled their stuffed mushrooms, which were only bread-stuffing based but were still good. Drinks and service are always great. MY picky-eater boyfriend loved their house salad dressing and chicken alfredo. I tried them both and they were delish! Writing this review after 4-5 visits in the past year; never had a bad meal or experience here. THanks Uncle Ronnie's!

Went here for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. Sat outside on the deck and it was great. They had live music. The waitresses kept checking on us. Food was really good. I had a burger and fries. Cooked perfectly with lots of gooey cheese the fries were good too. The people I went with all got various sandwiches and they enjoyed theirs as well. I will definitely be back.

Nah Service OK, food OK, drinks OK, atmosphere OK. What do say about a restaurant that really doesn't do anything really well? They used to have really good breaded chicken wings but they replaced that product with a mediocre product. I read several reviews about good spaghetti dishes, but I make that at home so I am not sure what to say. The last I went in they had a shrimp special where you could get it cooked in special sauces in the bar in fry pans, but no one really knew how to cook them. Not very good. They do wing specials, but don't cook the wings enough, flabby and weakly sauced. I'm trying to think of a highlight but I can't really think of one. Thanks

I had tried Uncle Ronnies a few times in the past but hadn't been since they renovated it. But have been there a couple of times in the last few months. Being located in a small town with very few options outside of pizza places, the one thing I like about Uncle Ronnies is the variety. The owners try to do different things to draw the people in from a Polish Buffet one night, an Italian Buffet another. On top of these they have alot of different entertainment including trivia nights, karaoke, live music, and MNF give aways and specials. The last time I was there, I tried the Italian Buffet (served on Wednesday Nights) which had alot to choose from and the best part it was $10.95. The food was very good and the best part is they kitchen staff constantly refreshed it with fresh food instead of letting it sit there. Another time I went I had tried the Chicken Marsala. I am a big fan of Chicken Marsala and no 2 places make it the same one. I can honestly say it was up there on the list of best Chicken Marsalas I have had. Overall, there is always something going on, the food is good, and the portions and price are reasonable. So if you find yourself out that way I would recommend trying it!

A popular and entertaining small town bar, with a much better than expected beer selection. They had both a Mayflower Porter and a Grey Sail IPA on draft the night I was there. But I can't say I'd ever consider eating here twice. A sizable Double Cheezeburger was put together from frozen "food warehouse" style ground beef hockey pucks cooked into oblivion. The "Italian" dressing on the iceberg lettuce salad was too sweet to swallow. Any sugar left over must have been put into the tomato sauce drowning the Chicken Parmigiana, itself covered in an impenetrable blanket of mozzarella style cheese. I'd stick with just drinks please. The table side Tower of Sangria is a sight to behold. 100+ ounces of pour it yourself liquor, set into a football helmet holder. Spectacular and convenient.

On Thursdays they do an all you can eat steamers night... I think it's around $20. I can't eat more than one bucket but it is definitely a meal in itself. I like to start with a side salad so that I feel I am being somewhat healthy. My mom and boyfriend both guy the steak and stuffed shrimp and there wasnt anything left on their plates at the end of the meal so I assume that means they enjoyed it!! The waitress was awesome, I wish I remembered her name because I would ask for her again. She was very personable and did not try to rush us out even though the place was packed.

My fiance and I frequent local restaurants that host trivia, as we're super nerds that also love to eat. Uncle Ronnie's was mentioned to us as a place that does trivia and has good pub food, so we decided to check it out ahead of time to see if we wanted to go back for trivia. We got there around 7:30 PM on a Sunday night, and you would think it was a Saturday. The place was PACKED. The bar and the tables in the bar area were filled with people. it was pretty loud. Luckily to the left of the bar, there is a smaller dining room that our hostess kindly sat us in. It was much quieter and had some TV's. Choice of a booth or a table. We were sat and immediately had our drink orders taken by a very young looking, but very nice waiter. Our waiter returned with our drinks very quickly. My fiance and I both ordered burgers. I ordered a special: Jersey Shore burger (burger with onion rings, bacon and coleslaw) and my fiance got a double burger. the waiter returned with a small loaf of fresh white bread and garlic butter. Nothing I like better than a place that gives away free bread! haha It was excellent and we were both wishing for more! Finally our burgers came. The buns were soft and fresh, the burgers were cooked to a perfect medium/well, and they were HUGE. Toppings were fresh and plentiful. The fries appeared to be hand-cut, and were also delicious. Both cost under $10 each, and with sodas, our bill came to about $25. Can't beat that! Overall, the atmosphere was great no matter if you prefer something loud and fun, or quiet and relaxing; They've got a room for both! The waiters were very nice and attentive, the food was well-priced, fresh and delicious. Did I mention the free bread?? I can't say I would recommend this place if you're looking for a fancy atmosphere, or fancy food. We just love simple, all-american pub food! We loved Uncle Ronnie's and we will absolutely be back for more!

Live bands are great, especially when Glory Dayz performs. Bar drinks are reasonable, atmosphere is enjoyable. However, dining is laughable at best. Quality of food is sub-par and overpriced. Service is slow and orders are usually faulted. Overall good place to hang out for a drink and music but not for eating in with family .

We decided to come for a Mother's Day dinner. The waitress was great but that was about it. The drinks took forever to come. Then once the meals came my prime rib was cooked way under and I asked for it to cook a little longer as I am pregnant and cannot eat undercooked meat. Well by the time the waitress came to tell me that it was gonna take a few more mins everyone in the party of 14 was done eating and I had finished the two sides that came with it. We had our check on the table by the time my prime rib came out so I had it wrapped up. Not once did a manager come by at all! Not to mention I had to still pay for my prime rib dinner after all I ate was the mashed potatoes and green beans. This was a horrible way to spend Mother's Day.

This restaurant is a sort of hidden gem! It's tucked away in a fairly remote part of Burrillville, RI, and I am thrilled I came across it! Upon first entering, it's noticeable that the ambiance is homey and friendly. The dining room is fairly small and quaint, and there's a separate bar area that was relatively small as well. We were greeted by an incredibly friendly waitress that totally had that Rhode Island charm (if you've ever gone to school/done business in RI...you know what I'm talking about!). Although it appeared as though she was the only waitress running the house, she was incredibly attentive, pleasant, and prompt with all of our orders. The service here is beyond 5 stars. The margaritas at this small tavern are AMAZING. We plan to return with more friends just so they can try the margaritas. The price doesn't hurt either-about $7 or $7.50. Delicious. The menu is pretty large and extremely reasonably priced. There's a large variety of food (and cuisine), although there seemed to be a ton of Italian options. We started off with the calamari, which was actually pretty good. My one complaint is that it's a little over-battered, especially considering the quality of the squid. The texture was perfect, not even a little bit chewy, and perfectly cooked. Even though there was quite a bit of batter, there was still a large amount of flavor within. I didn't need marinara sauce with this calamari. For my main dish, I got the "Godfather Platter"-eggplant and chicken parm, Italian sausage, and meatballs over pasta. The meatballs were slightly under seasoned, but cooked PERFECTLY. The eggplant parmesan was delicious. The sausage was a little bit tough and it was the only aspect of the dish I wasn't crazy about. The portions are also HUGE, and for the money, it's totally worth it. The dish I had was homestyle Italian, and WELL worth the price. I really wish there was a half-star option for Uncle Ronnie's...I would have given it four and a half stars. Four almost seems too harsh because I really did have an awesome experience, and I will be returning!!
