We finished up the RI Food Fights #BestBurgerRI challenge strong with a visit to Your Mother's…read moreFavorite Breakfast Place in Manville! When trying out a new restaurant, we have little to no expectations but we go with an empty stomach & open mind. I had to look up Manville in Google maps - it's half way between Cumberland & Woonsocket. The restaurant is an unassuming storefront on a mostly residential street. We walked in & were greeted warmly. The restaurant was hopping on a late Saturday morning, so we took the two open seats at the counter. Your Mother's Favorite is truly a family affair. Dad is in the kitchen with an uncle & a son, mom is running the front of house with another son & some other relatives. We learned that this restaurant is an offshoot of their Sunnyside on the Street food truck. They offered any 1/2 lb brisket/chuck blend burger on a brioche bun for the RI Food Fights coupons. Upon recommendation of the son who was serving us at the counter, I went with their best seller: The Mother In Law - caramelized onions, Gruyere cheese, house made sauce. It was SOOOO good! The burger was perfectly cooked with a ton of delicious caramelized onions & ooey gooey melted cheese holding it all together. Hubby opted for The Hot Mom - pepper jack cheese, red onion & house-made mango habanero sauce. He will order anything that will give his taste buds a kick... & this definitely kicked! For me, the sauce was too hot. For hubby, it was definitely HOT but he couldn't get enough! I've never seen a man eat a burger that fast! LOL Hubby was so excited about the mango habanero sauce that the dad/owner came out of the kitchen to discuss creating it. He also provided us with a small container to bring home to enjoy & shared the recipe. I was in the mood for something a little sweet & ordered one slice of the French toast. It was delicious. They also do a deep fried French toast which is something I will order the next time. We got into a nice conversation with the table next to the counter. The couple were fans of the family's original food truck & are repeat customers of Your Mother's Favorite. They were also fans of RI Food Fights - especially the January #LordOfTheWings. We concur! We ogled the other delicious breakfast dishes being delivered to customers. Hubby wants to try both the Huevos Rancheros & the Biscuits with Gravy. Their pancakes are supposed to be out of this world but I will be hard pressed not to order The Mother In Law again! Even though it was very busy, the family made time to chat with us & answer questions about the restaurant & menu. We loved everything about Your Mother's Favorite & can't wait for a return visit!

I was disappointed that it was not busy when we went in, because this place deserves to be hyped up.

Wow - this may have just become my favorite coffee! I ordered the Beach Bum - a summer seasonal latte with coconut, hazelnut and vanilla as an iced coffee and it was absolutely delicious. It earned a permanent spot in my cup holder for the drive home and I was already thinking about my next visit before I got there. The shop itself is cute and welcoming. I even had the chance to watch Scott Groome painting a new mural outside and it's going to look fantastic. The staff were friendly, patient and happy to answer my questions, which made the visit even better. My only complaint is that the menu changes a little too quickly. There were drinks I wanted to come back and try that were already gone! That's probably just another reason I'll have to keep stopping by. I'll definitely be back soon to finally get my own latte bucket!

Some are extremely rude some don't seem to know what they're doing, and others just stare at you like you have 10 heads. I also seem to pay a different price every time I come in, which is a little alarming considering my order is pretty basic. The blonde woman who seems to be some sort of team lead is especially less than interested in being there. She's often on her phone, has a major RBF, avoids customers, or walks away when people need help. They're also constantly out of things I want to try. A few weeks ago, they were out of basically every cup size or lid -- how do you run out of CUPS?! Today I was offered a bucket because they didn't have any large lids. Like... how?! I don't want a bucket when it doesn't even fit in a cup holder. I really wish it was back to the way it was when I first started coming. It used to be one of my favorite places to go. That being said, the new outdoor seating area is super cute and a really nice addition!

There were some flies in the restaurant and a fly catcher on the wall next to us though. We ordered a tea, orange juice, hash omelet with cheese, and avocado toast. The tea was 3.25 for a Lipton tea bag- pretty steep. The omelet itself was serviceable even though I didn't find the hash to have much flavor. I will say the home fries while nicely seasoned were a little underdone. Our waitress asked if I preferred canned or homemade hash and of course I went with the homemade one. My significant other said the avocado toast was pretty standard but bland- and also said the home fries were a little underdone. For $14 we expected a little more. Our waitress was pleasant but not overly welcoming and for $50 for two breakfasts and drinks I'm not sure we're going to be dying to come back.

Just fyi. Everyone's meal arrived as ordered and everyone enjoyed their food. I had eggs and pancakes and found the pancakes plenty sweet even without syrup. Eggs were cooked nicely, just as ordered.

I also want to thank her daughter who's the waiter there for recommending the corned beef hash and the blueberry pancakes that were absolutely delicious. The food was made with so much love and the coffee was freshly brewed. Everything was made to order as a diner should be and it was super quick and did I mention the price? We are in 2026 and we got hungryman breakfast that came with eggs, bacon, home fries and pancakes. We also got plain crepes, a coffee, orange juice, a side of ham, and a side of corned beef hash for all under 41 bucks. I am so happy we decided to give this place a try today as we've lived here for about 3 months and always walk by it and I've always said I wanted to try it. Finally. We did and I think we're going to be the weekend regulars from now on. And if this next phrase doesn't convince you to try this place, I don't know what will. THEY TAKE CRISPY EDGES INTO CONSIDERATION FOR PANCAKES. You know what I'm talking about ‍ This is definitely a cute date place or even if you just want to take your friends out to eat or trying to impress your parents on a good diner this is the place. You can tell they are very good even before you get the food as there are locals who show up there and it's all about laughter and good times inside. You got the old school bar stools where people can eat breakfast at the bar. You have the booths and you have some tables by the front door that are cozy. The whole place is just a great vibe matches the great food! So let's cut to the chase here about the food! I ordered the hungry man special as I mentioned above. Eggs, bacon, home fries and blueberry pancakes. I rate my whole plate and 11 out of 10. It was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a side of ham that was the star of the show for me. And it made it taste even better when the waiter told me they cut it straight off the bone. I've never had ham straight off the bone so that was pretty cool haha my coffee was actually really good. Also. I'm not sure what kind they brew but it must be straight from the coffee bean trees because my goodness that was delicious. My wife ordered plain crepes and an order of corned beef hash. Originally she only ordered the plain crepes but then we were told that the corned beef hash was homemade and we were like, we definitely have to try this! So we ordered it but I forgot to take a picture but let me just say she was very happy eating them. The plain crepes were exactly what she wanted as she felt like pancakes would be too heavy for her early in the morning. She said it was sweet and delicious. Also said the corned beef hash was one of the best ones she's ever had. Overall I feel like I could just keep going on about how amazing this place is and how I wish it was the next day already so I could show up and eat breakfast again hahaha thank you guys so much for the great breakfast and hospitality! We will definitely be back! -Kass & Wawa
