Comfortable, friendly, good service, and we didnt have to wait too long for our food. The menu is enormous and full of interesting sounding food (warm baby brie with toast, Mexican calamari salad, chicken souvlaki) as well as diner classics and all day breakfast. We had a blackened chicken salad, turkey club, omelets, blueberry pancakes, home fries, etc. and it was all delicious. Also, the kids meals were served in very generous portions. We were all really pleased with our dinners and glad to have happened upon this diner along our way.

The rest of my party was highly impressed but alas Im the one writing this post. The place was only so so as far as I was concerned. It took too long to do most everything and the parking was atrocious. I had the Chicken Pot Pie and it was unlike any other Chicken Pot Pie Ive ever had. The filling is served in a bowl with a chunk of crust floating on top. It tasted OK, but not good or better and after a short while the chunk of crust got all soggy and I left it unbeaten. Id give the place another chance if Im in the area again.

Waited over an hour for our food, were never checked on and we had our baby getting very restless. We finally flagged down the waitress and asked for a side of fries so we could put something in our hungry tummys. We were hoping for "Diner" style fries, they resembled Burger King fries. Sad. We decided not to wait any longer and let them know that after an hour and a half of awful service and no meals we has to leave. I was really hummed because I had been looking forward to eating there. We will never recommend or go back.

Great diner, cute throwback interior. We had breakfast here. The omelettes were loaded with your choice of add ons and very good. The home fries were delicious, better than most places...they were cooked perfectly and had a great spice combo on them. The pancakes were light and fluffy and the coffee perfect. Dont know about lunch or dinner but will definitely be back for breakfast. Beware, with tip, for 3 people, it was a $50 breakfast. Worth it!

Great food, great prices, and GREAT service: owner to cook to hostess to server to staff. Breakfast, lunch, dinner. Breakfast all day. Try the Greek Omelet or the Garlic Burger. Specials are awesome. Big tables and booths. I sit, eat, read, relax, no hurry no problem. TV at the counter / bar for sports. Clean. Kids are fine here. My 7 year-old son loves the chocolate syrup French Toast with whipped cream. : )

Went on Mothers Day with my parents waiting for a relative to show up and was told we couldnt be seated until the third person showed up. Funny enough the owner proceeded to seat another party waiting for someone to also show up. Then when called out for it claimed they were regulars and as someone who works at two restaurants that is unheard of and terrible way to run a business. What a joke never going back there.

came in with a party of seven an hour before close on Friday evening, June 9, 2017 (i called ahead to warn your staff). I ordered a hot cocoa while the rest of the table ordered cold drinks - my drink was the first made and sat on the counter while the other drinks were gathered. needless to say my cocoa was lukewarm at best. the server then informed us there was absolutely no seafood at all.

My girlfriend and I went here for dinner on vacation. We enjoyed it. The menu was diverse with some seemingly original dishes(adult grilled cheese containing 3 different cheeses and pesto to name one). As far as beverages, they have your usual selections of carbonated beverages plus milkshakes and alcohol.It was a little pricey but that is expected in a tourist location. Overall we were pleased.

The food was good, I especially enjoyed the corned beef hash but, the service wasnt. My server took my order and I never saw her again until I was ready to leave. She then asked if Id like a coffee refill and volunteered to make one to go. A runner dropped off my breakfast that is ok if your busy but, they werent. Im disappointed in the service makes me wish Id gone somewhere else.

We decided to try this place because it was only a half mile from our hotel. Luckily it wasnt busy otherwise there wouldnt be a place to park, typical of Rhode Island. The service was good, the food came out quickly and was very good. But the price was a bit high for the portion size. Otherwise the visit was positive and I would go back if I was staying in the area.

Great old school vibe. Classic Diner selections as well as great cocktails. And my favorite thing is I can order a martini with my pancakes. It gets packed quickly especially by locals and families on the weekends. But its a great spot any time of the day or night. And dont forget to grab a piece of cheesecake or the chocolate chip spoon bread to go!!!! Mmmmm

Always a great place to eat. The staff is wonderful and quite attentive. There is a good variety of food from which to choose. I always have something different when I go and have been pleased each time. My grandson told me they make the "best milkshakes ever". Thank you. Any time I have someone come to visit we always end up going there at least once.

My wife and I both had custom omelettes and they were fantastic. All the ingredients tasted nice and fresh...some times you dont know what youll get at a diner. I had pancakes on the side and I thought they were definitely above average. We came early in the morning when it wasnt too busy but the service was fast and friendly.

Nothing was good but my coffee. My breakfast was cold, and the waiter had an attitude when I asked her if I would get it warmed up. Usually a waiter would stop by the table every now and than to make sure everything was ok but my waiter didnt come by once. My food was gross I should have just made breakfast at home.

Expect to pay $10 and up for every plate. Kind of high for what you would expect from a diner. Portions are large. Shakes arent the brag worthy impression I would expect from the old school diner ambiance. Staff is friendly and meals are well prepared. Surprised to see they serve alcohol here.

Friendly wait staff and attentive. Nice atmosphere - feels like what a local diner should. Had a create your own omelette and it was good. Everything was good, but I reserve a fifth star for truly exceptional experiences and breakfast here, while good all-around, was not exceptional.

Very delicious. Wife and I shared the shepherds pie and it was excellent. Service was very good and friendly. The blueberry pie was quite good as well. Only complaint was that the bathrooms smelled quite awful. I assume thats because theres little to no ventilation though.
