Campinos Restaurant and Sports Bar

It wasn't bad per se, it just wasn't anything special. I went here with my wife's side of the family as a relative from Portugal was visiting so they wanted to take him to a Portuguese restaurant. None of us had been here before so we didn't know what to expect; I had the pork and littlenecks and while it was a decent dish, they were swimming in a brown gravy sauce that seemed out of place (it's never served this way at other Portuguese restaurants I go to). They also served bread and butter with no plate so we had to put the rolls on the tablecloth...odd. My wife's grandmother didn't seem to be enjoying her chicken dish and she kept on trying to say that she just wasn't used to eating big meals late at night, but after I pressed her a couple of times she finally admitted that the chicken was dry (it certainly looked dry).

There were a bunch of people playing cards and drinking beer outside when we were leaving...that looked like fun. Unfortunately though, this isn't a place I will go back to in the future as there are many better Portuguese food options in East Providence.

This place is horrific. I have been twice, the first time last year and most recently about 2 months ago. The calamari comes with a "seafood sauce" that is tasteless, no peppers, no nothing.
Then.. I ordered the Pork and Potatoes, they charge you $16 for the meal but then decrease the size of the plates! They do not even cook it in a wine sauce, the sauce is more of a beef stock/ beef gravy packet, not even a hint of wine in it. I was so upset at the fact that they increase the price but then decrease the plate! I only had come here because Phillips St was on vacation, I will never go here again... ever.
you are paying more for less.. that's all.

Went there for lunch and it was great and very reasonable and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced.  Don't know if the previous peron went at a bad time or if she was having a bad day, but everything we had was great and the waiter was very attentive and kept our water glasses full as well as the bread basket which was good as well. Will be back real soon to try the fish as I had a great steak and my friend had a nicely cooked tuna steak.
