The food was quick and good. The server was really nice and handled all of the tables by herself. Prices were reasonable. We went on a week day during the off season, so maybe that's why we didn't experience the wait times I see others mentioning. read more

We split the fresh blueberries pancakes, bacon, and crab cake eggs Benedict. Everything was incredible, service was awesome. Fast and reliable. Not to noisy. read more

Annie's - a man holding a menu in a restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

I don't think I'm coming back. Maybe it was a bad day. Took forever for a waiter to come to our table. Listen to the waitress berate the waiter in front of the whole restaurant. Never received toast with one of our orders. Food was good, the restaurant was cramped, the climate was toxic. When I'm on vacation, I look for stress free environments. read more

Great breakfast. Nice people. Wonderful OJ and marketing of it too!! A go to every time in Newport.

First off we love a greasy spoon. Annie's is rated 4 1/2 stars and Tripadvisor but 3 1/2 stars on yelp. We decided to give it a try because the Tripadvisor reviews. Maybe it was a mistake? Open till three and we got there at 2:30. We told them we would order quickly and get out of their hair, but we appreciated the service. Ordered fish and chips and scallops and chips. Portion was unbelievably small of fish and way overcooked to the point. It was downright chewy and tough. It was beyond disappointing. Our waitress was nice and apologized and gave us a small credit. But at $15 a plate, I really did expect more.I expect that Cook was ticked off, but we hoped that ordering something made entirely in the fryer would've made his life a little bit easier. Very very disappointed though. Would never go back. read more

Came for brunch based on reviews I read. There was a wait so thought it must be good. 3 cheese omelette was hard to find cheese but I did find a twisty plastic wire wrap baked in with the spinach. When I brought it to the waitress' attention she swooped it up and said she would tell the kitchen. No offer to make another omelette or comp my dish. Needless to say, I am not going back. read more

I've been hearing about this is the place to go for breakfast but with it being July 4th week we figured it would be too long of a wait. We went for lunch instead after doing the cliff walk and it was the perfect time to go! No wait and the food came out super fast. Our waitress was a no-funny-business kinda woman, straight to the point. I got the spinach salad with bacon mushrooms and onions and they put lobster salad on top, perfectly cooked with just a touch of mayo. Coleslaw was warm and wayyy to much mayo so skip that. But the salad was huge and very filling. Husband got the chicken Parm sandwich with sweet potato fries and they were amazing!!! Definitely get their sweet potato fries!! This is a charming little no-frills diner which was perfect for us. Loved the food and the atmosphere. Will definitely go back for their breakfast next time! read more

Annie's - Spinach salad with lobster salad - Sandwiches Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Really great burger and fish sandwich. The Quiche Lorraine was more souffle than quiche than we expected, but it was still pretty good. We're actually all a little suspicious that people are purposefully downgrading the place to keep it a secret? Maybe the breakfast foods just aren't as good? Hard to say, but we enjoyed our meal a lot and thought it was reasonably priced. read more

Annie's - Decorated for Christmas - Sandwiches Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Quickly greeted and seated. Food was amazingly quick and excellent. I had a Denver omelette and my wife the Annie's Benedict. Both were tasty and well made. Nice dining atmosphere but only get 4 stars as we pretty much were forgotten once we got our food even though they were not busy. read more

had been a fan. Today horrendous service. Had to ask three times just for water. When food came out rambled eggs cold toast, cold no butter pancakes undercooked. Person next to us had to wait a good 10 minutes for his pancakes after his daughters breakfast, I've been delivered. read more

At the recommendation from The Boy's coworker, we were told Annie's is a must so we hit up this place as soon as breakfast hour rolled around. Service is incredibly friendly and I can see the appeal if you're nostalgic for that old time-y diner vibe. I opted for the banana nutella french toast topped with strawberry compote, a special for the day. I don't often choose sweet over savory for breakfast, but it just what I needed to start the day; they don't skimp on the fresh fruit which is nice. Food at the end of the day though was just average at best. I will say they make an incredible corned beef hash - a must get. read more

Not many places ope. Off season in Newport for breakfast. We walked a bit to find this place! We said nope to Panera to experience Newport . Annie's great breakfast fabulous fresh squeezed orange juice great omelet hot fresh coffee cheap prices and the best service bar none. Place got filled up fast one server could take care of everyone with a friendly attitude very sweet even about the history of Annie . Love this jewel read more

I actually wavered between two stars and three and this is why. They were friendly but we had to ask for a refill of coffee. Also, the burger didn't come with bacon which it was supposed to so we had to ask for that and then wait for it to be prepared. I ordered the crab cake bennie and while the egg was poached perfectly and the hollandaise was tasty, the english muffin or the crab was burned and I kept getting a funny burned taste in my mouth. Also my potatoes were raw so I didn't even attempt to continue eating them. Yes, the prices are reasonable but I think there might be a reason there is no line here on weekends. However, the pancakes that were being served to nearby tables looked pretty good. read more

Perfect timing...we got a booth immediately upon arriving for breakfast. After that, we sat and watched as others waited... Our server was really great and super friendly. We ordered an omelette with breakfast potatoes and pancakes with fresh strawberries. Yum, both were good. Coffee was refilled nicely. Great place to stop if you can get a table. read more

Really enjoyed this place. We were on a cruise and ventured up the hill. Sat at the counter, and the service was polite and prompt. I got a chorizzo sausage and cheese omelet. A lot of meat and cheese. So glad we came here. Next time in Newport, we will definitely come back. read more

It's a massive personal fail to eat at the same restaurant in a new city twice, but we ended up doing just that at Annie's (scheduling mistake) and I'M NOT EVEN MAD ABOUT IT. Day 1, we had breakfast. Classic comfort diner food in an elevated environment. The corned beef hash was luscious and meaty and everything I wanted it to be. The pancakes were unreal. Day 2, I had the club sandwich and holy noms... it's real roast turkey (the thick cut stuff), delish bacon, the perfect amount of mayo. And they toast every single piece of bread, even the one in the middle. It's a must-order, on classic white bread of course. And did I mention, we never spent more than $30 for two of us??? So charming and delish. read more

Very cozy welcoming place. Breakfast is good (try the corned beef hash. Yummy). Has the fried fisherman's platter for lunch. Fresh seafood. Prices are reasonable. Service is excellent. read more

Strategically located next to the Audrain Collection this is a solid solid spot for brunch and breakfast. It's a long-ish walk but if you want to walk off what you're about to put in its doable from The Chanler at Cliff Walk hotel. I got the lobster eggs and they were nice enough to hard poach because I was preggers at the time. Hubby got typical breakfast platter. The servers are very nice and personable. There were a couple of families with young kids and both servers kept up hilarious repartees with both kiddos. Coffee is decent and ever flowing. Place feels homey. I believe it's cash only! I would come back in a heart beat. As soon as kiddo is old enough to travel maybe we'll swing by Rhode Island and Annie's again. read more

1/29/24 John C My wife and I visit, Annie's every time we come to Newport, which is usually twice a year. We alway receive great service. The breakfast is well worth the prices at Annie's. The ham portion you get with the ham and eggs is plenty. I also have to say they do not skimp on the delicious home fries. Annie's restaurant may not be big and fancy but the quality food,service and prices are well worth a try!!!! read more

A couple friends and I went here on our road trip to Newport. This was a last minute decision and we were extremely happy with it in the end. We were seated within 30 minutes, there were at least 4 parties ahead of us, but the staff worked efficiently to get everyone in. The food was amazing! We did the crows nest Benny and the crab cakes Benny and both were honestly amazing. From the hollandaise sauce, to the perfect poached eggs, to the crab cake/corned beef hash. It was scrumptious and one of the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. I wasn't a big fan of the homefries, as I prefer hashbrowns but I barely ate them since the eggs Benny had me so full. Definitely recommend this spot! read more

Annie's - Crows Nest Eggs Benedict so good! - Sandwiches Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Eggs over easy and hash Browns very good. Will definitely be going back there soon. A bit of a walk from waterfront but worth it.

Good quality diner food with low prices and cash only. We've been here for breakfast multiple times and have always enjoyed it.

I've been to Annie's a few times over the years and the best part is it's " breakfast all day" feature! This December though what brought me to visit was the fabulous holiday ceiling display ! It must have taken forever to attach these Christmas ornaments on ribbon to the ceiling for the effect was wonderful and would put anyone in the Christmas spirit! We drove 1.5 hours in the middle of holiday prep to visit Annie's! We enjoyed the pancakes and bacon and a western omelet while taking in the holiday vibe. It was almost closing time and only a few tables were occupied, but our waitress was pleasant and our meals were served quickly and were tasty. If you're in Newport this December, stop in for lunch or their breakfast menu served all day! It's a great way to get into the Christmas spirit! read more

Annie's - How festive! - Sandwiches Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Stopped in for breakfast one morning while visiting the area. Cute little place. The service was prompt and the food was good. They had good music which was an added bonus. read more

Friendly, relaxed diner vibe with great soup and sandwiches; conveniently located with friendly service.

would not recommend. My Annie's Benedict was awful-the canadian bacon was overcooked so that it has no moisture left was hard to cut and impossible to chew, the english muffin was so overdone I had a hard time cutting it and the homefries were flavorless, we had to request to get the a little more coffee but I am not sure why we bothered because it was watery and flavorless. The toast that came with my husband's omelette was burned on the edges. We will not be returning or recommending to anyone. Definitely not worth the $32 it cost us for breakfast. read more

Great service and food! Small but worth the wait! Once seated, the food comes out really fast! Lobster bisque was delicious, and so were the hamburgers. We had lunch, but several people around us had breakfast, and man, oh man, it looked good! read more

The food and service here are not very good. Our order was simple. We received 3 of the meals but the last didn't arrive until the rest of us had finished. It appeared that others seated around us received incorrect orders and waited much longer. Fries were cold and way too salty. We all have bad days but I don't think we will take the chance and come back. read more

Great portions, great food. Great service. If you are in Newport RI, check out this place for break The place is so great, we came back for more. Same great food and service. Like a small town luncheonette. Today we had waffles with fresh strawberries on top. It's not even strawberry season here, but they were so fresh and sweet. The fried scallops were delicious also. Next time we get to visit Newport, we will be here again. Check out the new photos. read more

Maria was an outstanding server. We chose Annie's because they have homemade corned-beef hash... it did not disappoint!! Very tasty! 1 very minor negative is having to butter my own toast. By the time I realized it wasn't buttered already, the toast was not warm enough to melt the butter. Otherwise a perfect breakfast! read more

Food was terrible. I left most of my meal there and the couple sitting next to us did also. The bit that I ate was not good. There was a wait which was not too long but def at least ten minutes. Service was friendly but they did forget my home fries. I would not come back. Two stars because my brother liked his meal and the place was packed so maybe we just got a bad day. I usually would not review after only one visit but I was disappointed. read more

Food took waaay too long to come out and didn't seem all that special. Not impressed. Not sure what people see in this place.

Won't be going back anytime soon. The service was awful. None of the food came out at the same time so when my order came out 10 minutes after my son's, he had already started eating when mine came out. I realized it was his order and he got mine, which of course, was not what I wanted. We were not offered coffee or water. We order 2 OJs, got 4. Still no water Server never came back to see if everything was ok or if we needed anything. I was pretty upset with the whole experience. We used to love Annie's but it has changed. read more

Great food and great service. Has the waffles, French toast and omelette. All was amazing. Oh, corned beef was amazing.

Food: I had the 2x2 breakfast special which was two eggs, two pancakes, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. I cleaned my plate! It wasn't the best breakfast I've ever had, but it was a tasty, solid meal that reminded me of many northeast diners I've visited. 4 Stars. Service: Attentive and fast, and I was with my friend who is local/regular so that helped us get seated ASAP on a Saturday AM in the summer season. No complaints. 5 Stars. Price: Not bad for Newport, from what I gathered. Don't recall it being exorbitant, nor Waffle House cheap. My meal was large, so I felt it had good value. 4 Stars. Vibe/Cleanliness: Annie's is a hole in the wall, but it has a nostalgic, old school diner feel. Feels like it's been around forever. The restaurant is long and narrow, with no room to even queue up at the register. In fact, they have to keep the condiments on small wall shelves because there isn't room on the tables! Space is definitely tight, and it doesn't feel pristinely clean. The toilet is literally a little water closet next to the ATM. If it was a little cleaner and a little less tight for my big behind to wiggle around, I'd have liked it better. 3 Stars. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the ATM literally spits cash, so have your hand ready to catch so your bills don't hit the floor! Yes, this place is cash only, but I knew that going in and knew they had an ATM, so it didn't bug me. Overall: 4 Stars averaged across my notes! read more

SKIP IT Below average breakfast. I ordered a crab cake benedict - all cake & barely any crab to be found. Hollandaise was bland and potatoes seemed like they were boiled and thrown on the plate. Adding salt and pepper did nothing to save those so I completely skipped eating them - not even worth the calories. My partner had the corned beef hash - same review as my meal. Tasted canned & bland. We both regretted having this be our last meal in Newport, such a waste. Service was prompt and friendly but didn't make up for the sad food. Find a better breakfast spot - I know I will next time I'm in town. read more

Great local brunch spot. A little cramped for size, but a cute atmosphere and attentive service. The various eggs Benedict's on the menu are winners. read more

It's a cute little place downtown. I got the omelette and potatoes but unfortunately had to do takeout due to the COVID situation and my job restrictions. The hostess/ waitress was incredibly attentive and had my order ready within 15 minutes. She was definitely busy with all the customers in the restaurant but she clearly had a good handle on everything going on. read more

Great little place! We stopped for breakfast here this morning, and the kids were amazed by all the Christmas decorations. Then the waitresses were dressed so nice in their tuxedo shirts and were so nice to the kids. The breakfast was delicious to. We had strawberry French toast and omelettes. Big portions. The hot chocolate was a must. read more

The perfect home style breakfast! If you're looking for a brunch spot in Newport you know how the general landscape is going to play out - a bunch of overpriced restaurants offering "their take" on a breakfast classic. Annie's is the perfect anti Newport establishment with its traditional menu and homey, small town diner feel. The walls are lined with old photographs and news articles, and there's a beautiful bar towards the back of the restaurant that peaks into the kitchen. While they do have some fun "twist" items (I had the crab cake eggs benedict - my favorite AND must have every time I see it) their bread and butter is literally bread and butter. If you're looking for a short stack with sausage and an egg, this is your place. Sometimes you don't need the frills, you just want a really really great meal. read more
