Late Night Dining Just Got Better

Isn’t it always the case that it’s 2am and you need food ASAP? Well East Side diners, you have a new late night option. Recently opened in the old Blount Clam Shack locale across from Rick’s Roadhouse, JR’s offers comfort food ranging from tater tots, sliders, wraps, fried Oreos, mozzarella sticks and salads.

JR’s owner Michael DeSimone is from New Jersey but attended Johnson & Wales University. He fell in love with Rhode Island and has always wanted to contribute to the dining scene here. “I know what it’s like to get hungry late at night and want a healthy alternative to fast food,” says Michael. He has two other JR’s locations and is happy to expand into the Providence market. Michael’s hoping JR’s becomes a popular late-night destination that attracts bar goers and students with late-night munchies and hospital workers, policemen, on-duty responders and others working overnight shifts. JR’s is also open for lunch and dinner, is family friendly and everything on the menu is under $10. Sounds like the price is right to fill our bellies. 371 Richmond Street, Providence. 421-4577
