This place is literally 5 min away from my house and I cant believe I didn't know about this place before. The food was amazing - I got the poblano omelette and it was cooked to perfection and everyone was happy with their choice. Definitely my new spot. The place was clean and pleasant. read more

Very good desayuno, huge portions lots of flavor and prices that'd you'd expect in the city. The coffee was typical diner coffee and I am a bit of a coffee snob (it's one of my worst qualities) so I docked a star for that but if regular diner coffee is your jam, this place has everything for you read more

I've been looking for good chilaquiles and I just found this awesome little spot in my neighborhood. They have great Mexican food and classic American breakfast too. The staff is super friendly and I will definitely be back!! read more

Capitol Hill Diner - Chilaquiles With Eggs - Diners Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

We came all the way from Boston to eat here, my 6 friends and I met Carlos; he greeted us and provided amazing service. This place changed our lives 5/5 stars would recommend ! read more

I moved into the neighborhood and have started coming in regularly- mainly for the chilaquiles. Not surprised that lots of local foodies love this place. A few mentions on Reddit claim that their Mexican pancakes are some of the best pancakes in the area- havnt tried them yet but came here to see if anyone else mentioned them. I wasssss surprised to see such poor yelp ratings (- seems like the bad ones are from a decade ago)...So here's my 5 stars to try and balance the score. Ppl here are friendly, service is fast (Although I can't say I dine in often). And if you get off a late Amtrak train and hungry/ they're open pretty late. Also it's a diner -a local diner-it should be rated as such. Quality food, big portions, in a diner like ambiance. I'll update when I try the pancakes. read more

This is a really interesting Diner...because of you think of a Diner, you think Pancakes, Omelettes and Egg dishes...which Capitol Hill Diner has, but it also has a varied Mexican menu, where you can order tacos, nachos, enchiladas, tortas, etc. I like their Combo 7, which comes with rib eye steak, eggs and fries. I do like my steak....juicy and big. The inside is a bit basic, almost too basic, but you come here for the quick meal, quick breakfast and Go. read more

This Diner has a bit of an identity crisis: it's also a taqueria serving a range of Mexican and Central American specialties. They stay busy serving customers indoors and sending orders out for delivery. I recommend sitting at a booth and watching the lively activity as the staff hustles through brunch service. Go team! Food-wise, can't complain: I stayed south of the border, feasting on chicken enchiladas, birria tacos, and a chorizo special that was unique and wonderful. While the birria tacos were just okay, I passionately enjoyed the enchiladas and the chorizo. I came here craving Mexican breakfast in Providence and Capitol Hill did not disappoint. Whether you're in it for the diner or the taqueria, order whatever sounds delicious and have a good time. read more

Cheap, tasty breakfast. Authentic-tasting Mexican options and good American counterparts. Saw the waiters go out of their way to make the wait pleasant for parties with kids and the cooks make them special shaped pancakes during our time there. Small place with some booth and bar seating, some parking on the side. read more

Really good American breakfast; french toast consistently great. large portions on everything. A neighborhood anchor. Great regular joint; unpretentious; great food. read more

Second time I've been here for a late breakfast. Had the egg special with chorizo, refried beans, plantains and tortillas. Huge portion and absolutely delicious! I will definitely come back again. read more

This place was recommended for breakfast by a local. The appearance upon walking in ... makes you want to turn around and leave. The food was good, basic breakfast food. We ordered combo 2: eggs, sausage, home fries and toast, the sausage they use is very good and the home fries are seasoned well. We also ordered a combo 3, eggs, corned beef hash, home fries and toast, I did ask for the corned beef hash to be well done/crispy, it wasn't. Everything was good but again .. average breakfast food. We noticed that they had a large Mexican food menu as well with very well priced items. read more

Capitol Hill Diner is a great local spot for breakfast all day or lunch. The fish&chips is my favorite. The batter is light and the house made onion rings are excellent. The owner and staff are welcoming and accomidating. A must stop when in the area. read more

I came here just to get an omelette to go. It was around 11:30 AM. The lady that I spoke with on the phone and gave me my food when I came to pick it up was such a sweetheart. There's so much food and I'm just so happy! read more

Capitol Hill Diner - Western Omelette with Cheese, Homefries, and Fruit - Diners Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I just relocated back to RI after 35+ years in California. I had to go to the post office on Smith St and noticed the menu board at the diner next door. An unassuming place, but I just had the best Carnitas tacos there. Plain, simple street tacos- great Carnitas, onions, and cilantro. Perfect tortillas, red salsa, and a wedge of lime to top it off. I felt like I was at my old home! Nice people at the counter, very friendly. I can't wait to go back and travel through the menu, but it's going to be hard to top the Carnitas tacos. read more

I have never been to a breakfast place where the owner does not allow the staff to make extra coffee. There can't EVER be two pots! So often you're in a morning rush and the waitstaff (who are very nice BTW) say we just put on another pot. Then, in the history of American diner's this is the only one I have ever been too that ran out of sausage. Ran out of sausage? What's next, no eggs? It was close to my office and I just couldn't take it any more. There are other greasy spots to have your breakfast and morning Joe. PLUS, they have coffee all the time and NEVER run out of stuff. read more

Great little diner! Both the pancakes and French toast were really good. More flavorful than i can describe. Light and fluffy, and apparently offered w several upgrade variations from choc chips to fruit. Scrambled eggs are real, not diluted or from mix, and you can really taste the difference, and are offered w cheese if you like. Home fries are also offered plain or with peppers and onions. We chose the addition and weren't disappointed. Servers were exceptionally friendly. As to the coffee comment, they did have to make a pot of decaf, but I don't mind waiting for a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Definitely found my favorite neighborhood spot and look forward to trying the lunch menu another time. read more

Well, we went here for a cheap breakfast, which was what we got. The food was pretty good. For a diner, the portions weren't huge. The service frankly sucked, and the waitress (and then in turn) were fighting me over a discount I had through my credit card. It was so cheap, it wasn't worth arguing over, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I noticed the owner also got into an argument with another patron. Despite the cost and proximity, I probably won't go back. read more

Go in here with the appropriate expectations and you won't be disappointed. It's a small neighborhood diner that does your basic breakfast foods well and inexpensively. I have fond memories of hitting up diners just like this one with my Dad for breakfast growing up in Worcester, MA. Breakfast specials are between $5 -$6.50, which is totally awesome. Pancakes, eggs, homfries, bacon AND sausage for $6.50 is a steal! Staff was very friendly and attentive too. So happy we discovered this little gem in our hood. read more

Are you kidding me? What are they doing, cooking one thing at a time at this place? We waited an hour for our food and then another hour for the check! Oh, and get this, there were people coming in and ordering weird things like bacon or sausages to go. And they were getting served before us, when we walked in first!!! They seemed to be friends with the sketchy waitress. And then when our food finally came, wait for it... the eggs? cold and under cooked. The sausages? clearly from the freezer and also not cooked all the way through. I think it is actually their intent to make their customers sick. And then the place itself? No personality at all. It's just a room. Just don't go here. read more

Do you like cheap and greasy diner food? Then you are going to love the Capitol Hill Diner! It is located next door to the Post Office on Smith St in the Smith Hill neighborhood. It's a tiny little diner with stools/counter and a couple of booths. They serve breakfast or lunch all day...well until they close at 2pm anyway. read more

This diner has become me and my boyfriends new favorite Sunday brunch spot. It is super inexpensive And the food is really good! for $10 we got 2 pieces of French toast, 2 eggs, home fries, 2 pieces of bacon AND a cup fruit!! That's unheard of for $10 in providence. Also the portions are just right, you get just enough food to feel nice and full, but not too much to feel like you're going to die. The service was great, the waitresses are so sweet. Totally recommending this place to everyone! read more

Amazing food. Just like home cooking and the atmosphere is like being a family members house for a meal.

Solid breakfast place in a neighborhood without a whole lot of other options. Went in for a quick takeout breakfast before hopping on a train, and was very satisfied with a great breakfast sandwich made quickly with friendly service. Cheap and filling, what more could you want? read more

Terrible deco, it looks run down and dirty. sketchy people hanging out in area. The food was horrible, worst home fries they had absolutely no flavor, Eggs were undercooked, we had a party of 4 and each of us got our plates at different times, the French toast was undercooked still tasted raw egg :/ everything tasted like frozen food. This place ruined my appetite and made me feel sick for the rest of the day. I would suggest all to stay away! read more

Food was great, place was empty at 10:15 AM on a Sunday, slightly concerning. Home fries don't come with peppers and onions, have to add them on.. didn't like that. Friendly service. read more

Just stopped in here for breakfast. after helping my daughter move into Providence. The food was good, but the waitress was terrific. She was accommodating, nice, and just terrific. This is a small place with decent food, easy parking, and about a 5 minute drive from Home Depot, Walmart where you will certainly end up when moving someone in. Do not let the rare un-inspiring storefront shy you away. Like I said they treat you nice here and prices are very reasonable. read more

Great food, friendly staff, and terrific prices. Everything comes out hot, quick, and tasty. This is our go-to spot for those mornings when you just want a neighborhood diner to do all the work for you. Highly recommend. read more

Very slow service, only two people working. Took about an hour for the waitress to bring our breakfast, then another 45 minutes for the check. Two people working during the busy time of the morning. Food was not impressive. I would not recommend this place especially if you are in a rush! read more

Visiting from out of town. Had a great breakfast there today. It has a great old time diner feel to it. Great coffee and the staff was more than friendly. I'd go back again and again! read more

Came for breakfast with my husband must say I'm really impressed with the service and the food.. The pancakes were fresh and my husbands omelet was delicious defiantly look forward to going again.. Would recommend! read more

Decent price for two eggs home fries and toast (2.99) but the toast quite soggy and the home fries were not good at all. Convenient location and very friendly nonetheless read more

Amazing staff, great food, fast and I got to watch them make it in front of me. I'm not from Providence and they talked to me about the town too. Very wonderful. read more

Horrible horrible place. My boyfriend and I went there for a little breakfast and everything was either undercooked or had no flavor. The ketchup we tried to put on the home fries made everything worse because I believe it was spoiled. Do not go here. Save your money. read more

Where do I even start about my "experience" at the Capitol Hill Diner in Providence Rhode Island. If you are looking for not only a mystery meal, but appalling customer service and a scuzzy place to bring your family, choose the Capitol Hill Diner. This would be the first and only time I have written a review about a restaurant, if you can even consider this place such thing, but I felt it necessary and feel so strongly about telling you why you should pass up the opportunity to eat here. It was also the first and only time I have not tipped a waitress and I don't even feel bad about it. After walking into the front door with friends and realizing there was no real structure, we sat ourselves and waited for service. We were straight up ignored for 45 minutes. A "waitress" wearing baby phat pajama pants finally waltzed over to ask us what we would like to order. After waiting another half hour for her to bring over our drinks, which consisted of water, coffee and orange juice, she continued to tell us we were wrong when she brought over the wrong drinks for us. The pancakes were soaked in meat grease while they were cooking. The bacon looked and smelled like Beggin Strip dog treats. It was definitely fake meat. The eggs were burnt. The home fries were undercooked, wet, and bright orange. The sausage links looked like dead rats. My friend is still feeling sick from the little food she actually ate 12 hours ago. The floors, walls, and ceilings were covered in grime. I thought I was going to obtain AIDS while using the bathroom, which had a giant hole through the center of the door and no paper towels or air dryer to dry my hands with. The pictures on the walls were crooked and looked like they hadn't been touched or dusted since 1972. The waitress was straight up shameful. She would speak perfect English, then when we would confront her about the 11 things that were wrong with our order, she would pretend like she didn't understand us and walk away, avoiding our confrontation at all costs. I had to ask her on 3 separate occasions what types of sauces they had for me to dip my food in, and on the third time I asked, she said "oh yeah, we don't have any sorry." My friends and I didn't even eat our meals. We left it on the table. First time I have not taken my leftovers home with me in my whole life. We were in the diner for a total of 2 and a half hours. What an incredible waste of my day. I couldn't make this up if I wanted to. Do not take the people you care about to this pigpen. The owner of Capitol Hill Diner should be ashamed of themselves for providing such a disappointing experience to harmless people trying to eat and enjoy their favorite meal of the day. My recommendation? This place should be shut down due to health reasons and everyone should go to the IHOP down the road instead. read more

I drive by often on the way to work and it's always empty. It's always empty because it totally sucks.

I Had a wonderful experience there for my first time the staff were very nice & genuine. The food was made just how I like It, usually I am very picky on how it's done but was perfect which I was impressed about. Everything was clean I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to have breakfast. Thanks for an enjoyable time ladies will see you guys soon.

Great Breakfast for cheap. Food is always good and the owner who also does all the cooking is extremely friendly. This is obviously not an upscale establishment, but if you're looking for quality homestyle food that is cheap and cooked with care then this is the spot. All those leaving nasty reviews for this place have obviously a) never worked in a resturant, or b) can appreciate a small business owner putting their heart into their work. read more

Amazing place for breakfast! Every time I visit I pass by. Try the pancakes! I got them with a veggie omelette; also great. The owner is super sweet and I love the art on the wall. She also makes homemade desserts! Overall great experience every time I go and I'll visit again. read more
