    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.

    In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

    Cute spot! Stopped in with a friend after work on a Thursday. We got in quickly without a…read morereservation but I can see what people are saying that if you are going on a weekend during peak hours that you should make a reservation as it isn't a huge restaurant! Our waitress was very nice and patient with us while we took awhile to order. I got the grilled chicken sandwich and my friend got the ceasar wrap. The fries were great, sandwiches were also really good! Would like to come back and get one of their main dishes as they all sounded pretty good. We got the bread pudding for dessert (sorry forgot the photo) but that was really good!! Would get again.
