My daughter lives in Providence and we decided to try the diner for breakfast. Well, we have found our breakfast spot. Nothing like an old school no frills diner. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive. The pancakes were a nice size and delicious. My bacon arrived well done as requested. The coffee was nice and hot. When I asked to take my Coffee in a to go cup, the waitress brought a fresh cup. We will be back. read more

Great staff, fun retro original feel and great food!! Lots of it and affordable don't forget to double tip on breakfast!!

This food was so gross. Brown and serve sausage burnt eggs forgot my cheese under cook bacon. I didn't take a picture I got mad and just threw the food away. I wasted money on this place. I will never eat in or order out from here again. I'm really disappointed. read more

If you want to feel like you are in your mom's kitchen, Geneva Diner is the place to go. I have been coming here regularly since Chris became the new owner. It's like walking into my very own "cheers" and everyone says hello regardless of knowing each other or not. The food is made to order and always prepared perfectly. The servers talk to people like they're family and are never rude or dismissive. I'm super picky and I am never disappointed. It's very difficult to find a place that makes grits so I asked and now they are on the menu. Who does that?!!!! You will not be disappointed!! Ren ;) read more

The first thing noticeable was that the restaurant was unkept. Torn and worn furniture literally held together by gray construction tape. There is a difference between a place being retro in appearance and it being shabby. Geneva is shabby. There was one waitress on duty and her service was okay. The food was okay, but the prices were high. A breakfast burrito cost $10.95. The price wouldn't have mattered if the burrito was outstanding. It was mediocre at best. I ordered eggs, home fries, corned beef hash and toast which cost approximately $12.00. Two coffees were $5.00. Along with tip the total was over $32.00. In conclusion, the location is fantastic for the residents of North Providence and the surrounding area. Geneva has the potential to be an outstanding restaurant, but it's owner(s) need to invest in some serious upgrades to it. I don't mind paying high prices for a fantastic eating experience. In this case those expectations fell flat. One last thing. It appears that the owners did invest in a top quality computerized cash register. Hopefully they will have the same incentive to polish their diamond in the rough. read more

This little diner is tucked away between providence and North providence. When you walk in staff are very kind and attentive. Food was fabulous!!! Diner is set up like an old diner. I would recommend coming here. read more

We have driven by this place a million times & never went in until about 2 weeks ago. The place definitely has a mom & pop vibe. Menu is simple diner fare, very reasonably priced. Food is pretty good. I really enjoyed their pancakes, which is saying something because I rarely eat pancakes. And make are to ask for their homemade jam for your toast...yummy, yummy! I've only had breakfast here, so can't steak to the rest of the menu. What really makes this place for us is the owner...hence the 4 stars. What a friendly, genuinely nice guy! You feel so welcomed that it just makes you want to keep coming back! And back we shall come! Check it out! read more

This place i go to everyday damn near, had eggs and literally got sick prob not from their food but in general, nausea and bright it up and barley touched the eggs abs Still had to pay for them and was almost over charged. Just disappointed but overall v great people read more

Our first time visiting today. Menu was good sized and fairly priced. The French toast was delicious. Our waitress was friendly and kept up with all the tables. Loved the bacon being crispy and the sausage links being perfectly grilled. They offer cans of soda with many flavors to choose from. My hubby loved the coffee milk and my stepson enjoyed his milkshake. We all left stuffed for $38 before tip. Will definitely return with it being down the street from our new house. read more

We were in Providence visiting friends and had some time to stop for breakfast before our visit. Stumbled across this little place and were very happy with our choices. I had an omelet called the Vegan's Nightmare! How could you not order that! It was excellent and had everything in it but the kitchen sink.... Soo good! My wife had the steak & eggs which was very good and my daughter had a shrimp & spinach salad which was also excellent! The breakfast plates came with well seasoned potatoes and choice of breads. Don't be fooled by the small size and older decor.... The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and attentive! We will be back here on our next trip! read more

Ok -- first things first. As soon as I walked in some guy shouted across the counter "you wanna a coffee?" YES was my response. I liked the initiative and leadership and simply asking immediately when I entered. Although sadly I wished the nuance of the coffee matched the passion of gentlemen behind the counter. I ordered breakfast - I like breakfast. The bacon was the highlight of the dish - the eggs were overdone and quite small - and the potatoes were fine. I have 3-4 other breakfast nooks that I would chosen over Genevas. It's lackluster -- nothing stood out about this one....except the guy with the passion to serve coffee. read more

This place is adorable. Staff is fantastic. Good food, quick service, casual environment. Can't go wrong with a good old fashioned diner. These guys are amazing!!! Please come by and give this place a chance. read more

SCORE!! Sorry for the sports reference, but this place is definitely a homerun! The other reviewers who gave them a one star and said their portions were small are nuts!!! The portions are medium to large and the prices are super cheap!! This is a diner and the food is exactly that, simple, tasty and fun. They even made a custom grinder for us. We ordered 7 things and the bill was under $30!! We were touring Brown University and wanted to checkout an old school diner. We took an Uber (thank you Rawl) from BU and arrived at this cute little diner on Douglas Ave in North Providence. You could tell the diner had been owned by many generations of the same family. They had different dishes named after family members and friends. The place had so many tasty treats that we just kept ordering, lol!! We had a bowl of clam chowder, an egg white omelette, Fish and chips with tomato sauce, a waffle, a side of bacon and a bunch of cookies and took an Italian sub back to our hotel room! We could have had more, but we were entering into what seemed to be the first stages of a food coma. This was the perfect way to wrap up our east coast trip. Thank you Amanda and your dad for such a great experience. We wish we could pick up your restaurant and move it to Palos Verdes. read more

Fiancé and I went this morning. I got the vegan's nightmare which is a giant omelet, loaded with sausage, Linguica, pepperoni, and steak. Home fries and choice of toast or English muffin. It was delicious, served hot and fast off the flat top which is out in plain view. The cook was awesome with great skills and a friendly persona. My fiancé got a #2, which is two eggs any style, home fries, choice of meat, she got sausage links and choice of toast or muffin. She loved it. She also said it was the best fresh brewed coffee she had ever had. The server was friendly, attentive and fast. The interior is dated and deceptive from outside being a brick building. But it was clean and comfortable with booths and a long breakfast counter. I watched the cook make pancakes and French toast on the flat top. They were large portions and the pancakes looked light and golden brown. It was the size of a dinner plate. I admit I was upset because I wanted one badly and am a diabetic. Great experience. Great people. Great hot, food and really affordable. We will be back! I may even get a pancake and plan the rest of my meals around the sugar. Thank you Geneva Diner. read more

Great breakfast at a great price! Delivered fast and hot! The pancakes and French toast are awesome.eggs and hash browns perfectly cooked! Always my go to for breakfast.oh and let's not forget good sausage and crispy bacon! I give this place 5 stars because the owner is friendly and the food speaks for itself. read more

Best diner breakfast hands down. And the coffee is the best I could hang out and drink coffee all day. Run by a family and they are so friendly and sweet. My husband and I love this place. read more

This is an adorable little diner that serves up casual, inexpensive breakfast and lunch. The counter folks were super friendly and welcoming. You can tell it's a place with mostly regulars, but you don't feel snubbed if you're a newbie. The bacon was crispy and delicious, which is an important test of quality for me! The food came out fairly quickly for me, so I'm not sure if they've replaced the cook (in reference to past reviews complaining about slow service). I'd definitely go back again :-) read more

Love this place! Mario is so nice, after you come in a few times he'll remember what you like to drink... and if you're like me he'll also remember that you always order the Rhody Sunrise (because it is AMAZING). A real neighborhood place, lots of regulars. They even take credit cards! What are you waiting for? read more

You just cannot beat Geneva Diner for breakfast or lunch. Family run and operated (Mario is a great host and incredible cook), the food is always fresh and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Shout out to Jose, the grill cook, who is not only friendly and personable, but is one of the best grill cooks I've encountered. Don't miss this gem of an old fashioned restaurant. read more

Soo glad Mario's back! Love their fish + chips and you can't beat any of the Italian favorites! Try some of the wine or pepper bisquits or the HOMEMADE jellies they have at times-depends on the season. Definitely worth the visit. Go for breakfast or lunch, no disappointment. read more

The portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is super friendly. It's always such a great experience coming here! Try the Mario Jr burger - it's incredible! read more

Cute little diner! The staff was very friendly! Food was great! The waiter was so friendly and it was very homey which I loved! Definitely recommended ! read more

Hidden gem in North Providence! The staff is VERY friendly, I ordered take out, a large take out order to be specific a half hour before they closed and everything was perfect! They eggs were soft and moist and just perfect! The homefries were delicious and the pumpkin pancakes were to die for! It was a traditional large pancake but a thick pancake which I enjoyed even more! It was super flavorful. And the you can't beat the price for the large amount of food you're getting. I will definitely be returning read more

I've gotten some amazing food from this place. Mario makes an amazing pasta and beans... Just like grandma use to make it.. I think the prices are decent... service is pretty nice.. it's a nice cozy feeling when you walk in and the staff knows what you usually order and drink... ONLY downfall is the cook isn't to swift on changing gloves from handling raw meat and then goes to something else... that's kind of gross.. It's usually pretty clean, A/C is nice and cold in the summer time... Not a lot of seats but then again it's a small place... check them out, you might fall in love with em. read more

Delicious! I got the number 2 and had plenty of food. I would go back just to become friends with the owner. He was the nicest man I've ever had wait me at a breakfast place. I also loved that this establishment has been around since at least 1954 ( according to one picture hanging on the wall), which is just a testament to how good this place really is. They also had a variety of food options- a bacon wrapped, deep fried hot Dog for one or the meat lovers Omelet that had bacon, ham, linguisa, steak, and sausage! It's not fancy but if you're looking for a good breakfast with a hometown feel, Geneva diner is certainly the place. read more

My wife and friends went here today and the food is great and the prices are low .The gang will be going here again .

First time here this morning and it was Great!! The meat lover omelet was absolutely loaded and delicious!! I will definitely be back!!

Service is extremely slow and the food is barely edible. Calling this place a greasy spoon diner would be a compliment. I complained about my breakfast eggs and home-fries which tasted like it was cooked with old oil on a grill and the cook/owner (short guy) was very rude and disinterested. Ownership and management has changed hands often over the years and it looks like they're on the same path. I would not recommend this place. I wish there was an ability to give negative stars. read more

Small... clean... good service... good food!!! First timers but definitely going back!!! Big portions
