We have been on a Blue Plate Diner kick lately. It doesn't matter if it's breakfast or diner, whatever they make is beyond amazing and always delicious! I don't think I could pick a favorite if I had to. Their pancakes are better than homemade. Home fries are very flavorful. Love the chicken and waffles, pot roast, brisket. I have yet to find anything that I don't like. The staff are all super friendly and the diner is always clean and comfortable. Hands down our favorite place these days! read more

Good old fashioned diner. Great food with good-sized portions and friendly service. Will definitely return if I'm in the area again.

The Greek omelette with home fries was amazing fresh and delicious. The Bloody Mary was good wished was a little more spicy. My mom loved her California omelette. The service was nice and helpful. Love the diner feel! Will return when in the area. read more

Absolutely amazing service, fantastic food, and the diner vibes you are looking for. Easily accommodated our group of 9 with friendly faces and fast service. Greek omelette is awesome especially with the red potato's! Stop in! read more

We have been several times for dinner also for breakfast and service is always excellent. It is a diner setup inside and seating in very comfortable. We have enjoyed the fried chicken dinner, chicken and waffles and now they offer dinner specials during the week. Breakfast is usually eggs Benedict and eggs, corn beef hash and toast. Always leave full from our meals. read more

Loved our Saturday morning breakfast at Blue Plate Diner! Not very crowded for a Saturday in early June at around 9:30am. We were seated quickly in a booth. All of the servers were friendly. Our food and drink were hot and fresh. Diner coffee can usually be pretty bad but theirs was delicious! We split the country omelette and cinnamon French toast. The country omelette wasn't dry and had all of the fixings to perfect proportion. And the French toast! Not dry either! Prefect crispy outer layer with a lovely dollop of butter. It was a bit chilly in there, but good friendly vibes all around. read more

Pancakes were not very flavorful. Service was adequate but staff was quite apathetic and ambiance was neutral.

After 20 years they still only have pork as a breakfast meat before 11am. No turkey bacon, no turkey or chicken sausage, no Impossible meat. Absolutely never going to change. So the 43% of you who don't want that go to the Rome Point Diner in North Kingstown read more

Just an average American breakfast diner, that's a little bit pricy to be honest. Food came out decently quickly, but I wasn't all too impressed with the French toast and sausage. Honestly it was lacking in flavor. We also ordered the pancakes, which were just mediocre, nothing too fluffy or exceptional. Egg was also standard. Great thing about this restaurant is the free parking! read more

Blue Plate Diner - American French Toast - Diners Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

I want to love this place, because in general, I love diners. It's ok for a few dishes, but I wouldn't stray too far from diner mainstay dishes. As far as decor goes, it's more family-style restaurant than diner. Service is always pretty good, though. Everyone is very friendly. Food is all right. I rarely stray away from the crow's nest or shepherd's pie (they do beef, not lamb, for those who want to split hairs between shepherd's pie and cottage pie). Both are decent enough. Pair that with a diner coffee. read more

We just hit the diner for the first time. We got a milkshake and burger, chili and meat loaf with a mile high turkey dinner. We all agreed that the food was above average. Fresh mashed potatoes, slabs of turkey, and the beef chili was super. I stopped just so I had some to bring home. Prices atmosphere and service are excellent. We will be back soon. read more

If there's one thing you don't expect from a diner, it's good food for dinner. Blue Plate however definitely proved us wrong! I had the Reuben sandwich with a salad for dinner and my husband had the meatloaf- all delicious- and beautifully plated. The kids had homemade mac n cheese and chicken tenders- pretty standard but that Mac n cheese was delicious (and did I mention HOMEMADE?!) - definitely not that Kraft crap some of the restaurants serve around here! Of course I forgot the pics! Service was great- the waitress was extremely pleasant and patient with us! Diner vibes for sure- neat sayings all around the dining area, even a back room for a larger party! read more

Great service, easy to follow menu with great breakfast options - happy camper! Stepping into this place really felt like stepping back in time with the diner set up. Parking was available - a plus - and the building felt accessible. Booths were spacious, counter space at the coffee bar and regular bar if that's more your thing. I enjoyed my breakfast, felt it was reasonably priced and food came out really quickly! read more

Used to go here often then kind of got away from it when Covid struck. A friend recently told me it's his "go to" fave for breakfast so on my birthday we went. Our food was delicious! Yay! Oh and I might add their pancakes are huge. Can't wait to return. read more

The California burrito was excellent. My husband had the fall special beef stew which was great also. Service was excellent. We were just passing through but if we lived nearby we would be regulars. read more

I believe that people who rate this high have never truly been to a diner. As someone from Jersey (home of the diners) this place is not the best. I gave it 3 stars bc nothing was rlly wrong except the waitress being rude and the parking being from hell. The food wasn't even good fr you're better off going to the corner café or anywhere in downtown newport. read more

On an island filled with exciting dining opportunities, this is just another diner. It's aggressively fine.

We came here on a whim as we were in the area and super hungry for brunch. This was our plan B, as a different place we wanted to try had a line that you would not believe. I can't say Blue Plate had the most amazing brunch ever but it certainly was not bad either. Overall, just kinda meh mostly due to lack of seasoning and a tad on the greasy side. We felt like we could make better quality at home, but we were dining here out of convenience so that wasn't an option. I'd give this place another try and I am eager to try the regular lunch/dinner menu, since some of those dishes look/sound amazing. Service was EXCELLENT and our server was extremely helpful with some of our menu questions around dairy/lactose. I ordered a classic 2-egg breakfast with a side of 1 pancake. The pancake was delicious but wish they had real maple syrup to go along with it. The syrup featured here is the high fructose variety that barely resembles maple syrup. The pancake overall cooked well and had good flavor. My eggs were cooked perfectly over medium, but on the bland side. Kind of flavorless. I don't think they had salt or pepper. The potatoes were on the oily side and loaded with paprika or some similar seasoning, so they really tasted of only oil and paprika. Not much seasoning or flavor otherwise. Some potatoes were really oily/greasy. Bacon was great and cooked extra crispy which is exactly how I love it. My girlfriend had an omelette which I tried and it was great, although admittedly again it seemed to lack seasoning. It was full of fresh veggies and ham though and seemed really healthy and a huge portion. Everything was very fast and I think we went from parking to eating in less than 10 mins. Price was very reasonable. read more

First visit here and I do not understand the lower ratings. For us it's a 5 star review. The Hashlette Cheese Omelette was remarkable, home fries nice and their coffee above average for a diner. Overall very very good . Pay them a visit and you'll thank me later. Breakfast is served all day! read more

Had brunch at blue plate and it was very good for 11am on a sunday before tourist season starts! i had a make your own omelets which came out just as i wanted it to, although my drink was weird- a fruit smoothie with booze in it, my fault for not reading the ingredients LOL My guy loved his Ruben and had a bloody mary that was just basic not knock your socks off. But all in all we would be back there for breakfast again, in the future. read more

Great food, super friendly service. This is actually our 2nd time here. Previously we got the potato omelette - two people could easily split this read more

We have dined at Blue Plate, often, since it first opened. The owner and staff are friendly and efficient. It is a comfortable place to go, and can relax to have a nice visit with old friends or new friends. The food is sometimes very good, but often mediocre. A friend an I especially like their hamburgers. For years, their BLT was my "go to" selection. However, the the last one I had was the worst BLT I have ever had, period. I regret, I didn't tell Ted, the owner. The ambiance is OK, but Ted need to make a few repairs that would not be a major expense. read more

This place is a great local joint. The corned beef mash is worth coming back. I actually did - while I was in Newport for a conference - I stopped for breakfast two days in a row for the corned beef hash - delicious. I also recommend the blueberry pancakes. They are awesome. The place is spiritless and the service is quick. If I had only one complaint - it would be that I had to ask for coffee. Maybe it's just me, but when I'm at a diner, I literally have to say no more coffee! I love how they walk around and always keep your cup full. Not here. Here you have to ask - it's absolutely fine. They are quick to fill, once you ask. And the coffee is a delicious breakfast blend. So other than that very small complaint - the diner is awesome. Thanks for two great visits - I shall return read more

The food was amazing. The service was top notch and the atmosphere was comfortable as well as a clean establishment. Would recommend!!

My go to for Meatloaf dinner. So yummy, dark brown gravy, delish mashed potatoes and veggies. Breakfasts are gigantic too. Very clean and very good service. read more

Welcoming classic diner environment. You can sit at the counter or get a booth. Staff was so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast is served all day and lunch/dinner items served after 11am. I had the omelet with veggies and my husband had the eggs Benedict. Music and overall restaurant noise was not too loud. This seems like a place local people eat. Rebecca was our waitress and she was amazing. Coffee was always full and she made sure everything was perfect! read more

From now on let's call this place "Blue Mold Diner". I had forgotten to leave this review but would like to give the community a heads-up to avoid this diner. So I was looking for a quick and easy breakfast such as eggs, bacon, and toast. I figure to stop by a diner for pick up as I needed to get some things done. Blue Mold was the closest spot so I start driving over and call in for the to-go order. To my dismay, they do not accept to-go orders on the weekend. O.K. if there's no line I'll sit in and eat quickly it's a simple meal. Well, when the order arrives it turns out that it was not so simple an order for them...and/or they could just care less about the customers. The issue and the reasoning for my stomach to turn when the plate arrived was the fact that there were several spots of blue mold on the toast!. Needless to say, I left with an empty stomach. Let me not forget to mention this...from a business perspective, it makes absolutely no sense to me why you would not accept to-go orders. You're actually throwing away potential business. Attempted to question this but received a bit of a confrontational response so I let it go. Lose money if you like. One final note. The owner of Blue plate is a guy named Ted. This man has no business in any type of customer service business. He is very rude and just a nasty type of person. He should do himself a favor and stay behind the scenes eating his moldy bread. read more
