    One of my favorites in the greater Providence region and yet I truly never visit as frequently as I should. The serving options will meet any one of your needs. But make sure you bring an appetite. The only thing that you will find that exceeds is the outstanding service. Moments from Route 295 with lots of parking. Don't miss out!

    Cannot speak to the ambiance or service because we ordered delivery, but the pancakes were good! We also ordered an egg sandwich with sausage and it came with bacon instead- a bit disappointing but likely an honest mistake. It came pretty quickly too!

    Big thank you to Cranston dinner for seating a ten top an hour or so before closing. We called another place that will remain nameless and they wouldn't take us. Good thing anyway because the hospitality was great. Our waitress was very accommodating as well with us asking to split the check, so thank you. All the food came out in a timely manner and everything was great. It's so nice visiting places with reasonable prices and good portions. We'll definitely come back next time we're in town.

    We're out of towners looking for an affordable place for breakfast. Found this diner on Yelp. It looked dark from the outside but they were open. Jodi was our waitress and was friendly. Hubby ordered the special which was eggs, bacon, potatoes and pancakes. I ordered the Irish omelette, which is corned beef hash with provolone in an omelette. I think I was served Swiss cheese though cause it definitely didn't taste like provolone, not a big deal because It was a huge portion and ended up taking half of it home. White bread wasn't available, so I got sourdough which was just as good but the coffee was AWFUL. It was very, very light, almost transparent, as if it was brewed with not enough coffee grounds. We had to wait for drink refills, napkins and the check. Meh experience

    Think this is a very solid breakfast place Restaurant is sneaky big. So if yiu have kids, perfect diner to take them. It actually opens up when you walk in to a large restaurant. Its not too quiet and awkward Service was absolutely great with plenty of staff on even on a sunday morning. Menu has plenty of options. Food was very good. The toast had too much butter on it butt other than that, food was very good. Ill be back.

He genuinely cares about his restaurant and the people he serves. A lot of owners would get defensive over something as minor as "the home fries weren't well done enough," but not Ari. We've been to Hamilton Diner many times and the food is consistently delicious. On this visit, our home fries weren't quite as crispy as we'd asked for. It was a small thing that honestly wouldn't have affected our rating at all -- we know how busy things can get. What impressed me most was Ari personally coming to our table to apologize and bringing out a fresh replacement. He didn't have to do that, but he did - and that's exactly why we'll keep coming back. Thank you, Ari, for your compassion, your humbleness, and the pride you take in your restaurant. You and your team are doing it right. Also sorry for the lack of photos, we dug right into our dishes. The Biscuits and Gravy dish is delicious!

We came in at about 11:10 am as they were probably at about 2/3 capacity the last hour before shutting down for their 2 week vacation period. It took some time to get our breakfast once the order was placed but not an unreasonable amount of time. Plus the atmosphere was relaxing. We sat at the counter as all the booths were full. And I have to admit, eating at the countertop was relaxing. I ordered the JD muffin which is a grilled English muffin with bacon and fried egg for ~$5.95. The outside of the muffin was soft compared to the crisp inside. It was deliciously tasteful with crispy grilled bacon and egg. Much more tasteful than those egg muffins that one can purchase elsewhere at those widespread coffee shops. My partner had a #7 with a side of bacon including 2 eggs scrambled, 2 bacon slices, home fries, 2 pieces of toast and 2 thick tasty plain pancakes of which I had one. I don't usually have plain pancakes but these were very tasty and fluffy. Both of our coffees, hot and iced, came with free refills. We wished the staff a great vacation and left, knowing that this is our new "goto" breakfast restaurant.

We were sat down immediately and were promptly taken orders. Inside is pretty typical of a diner and some seatings available. I ordered coffee and Portuguese benedict. The Portuguese benedict was pretty good. French toast like sweet Portuguese bread as a base with linguica and soft runny egg topped with hollandaise sauce. Slightly sweet and savory and definitely one of better eggs benedict I've had in RI. Home fries were crunchy and flavorful. Coffee was solid as well. Order came fairy quickly and service was good Overall the place is a solid breakfast place with good food and service. I like that this place isn't too crowded and wait time isn't crazy because a lot of other breakfast places are very busy and it's really not worth the wait. This place is a hidden gem and would come back again for breakfast. The locals seem to know the place as it seems like there are some regulars.
