This place is awesome. I went like five years ago and got the chicken Alfredo. It was so good that I had to come back and 5 years later it's still amazing. I haven't had their other food, but if you want chicken Alfredo, come here. read more

Meeting Street Cafe - Awesome service too - Sandwiches Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I had Maynor and he was fantastic! Very funny and sociable, AND cute as a button The ambiance is nice calm and clean. I had the 5 cheese warm sandwich with hot peppers and it was DELICIOUS! My dad enjoyed the scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage and pumpernickel toast and swears it the best sausage. My mom had eggs Benedict and hash and the hash looked amazing. I am definitely coming back!! I haven't had the cookies yet I brought some home and they look scrumptious! read more

My review 11 years ago needs an update. The service was so so much better this time around, and just for that, they deserve an upgrade. The server was so sweet, despite doing everything herself. Service was slow, but we didn't even mind. She's so awesome. Also, the pasta salad might be some of the best I've ever had. Simple, but the dressing was so tasty. I ate it all before even eating my sandwich. The chicken Caesar wrap was nice and thick with the perfect amount of dressing, lots of greens, and tasty grilled chicken. Overall, better than mediocre, for sure! The sugar cookie stole the show. SO GOOD. Dining room had plenty of seating, which isn't always the case near Thayer. Good lunch choice! read more

Meeting Street Cafe - CREATE YOUR OWN OMELETTE - Sandwiches Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Avoid this place and save time and money. ZTwo people for breakfast. $50 before the tip. $60 after. You pay and tip before the service and food. Waited around 30 minutes for the food. The place was not busy- more empty tables than occupied. Food finally came out. The fried egg sandwich came with scrambled eggs. The toast was not buttered and we had to ask for butter which came nearly frozen so unspreadable. The actual food was almost average. Not terrible but closer to bad than great. Overall a terrible experience. Avoid this place and save time and money by eating elsewhere. read more

The breakfast was the best I've ever had for only 19 dollars. The waiter let me switch the bacon out for home fries. The pancakes was fenomanal same with the eggs and home fries. read more

I'm not sure why the hate. We had brunch here on a Sunday. We loved the extensive menu and the all-day breakfast choice. We got a French toast combo and a turkey sandwich. Both were really delicious. The wait staff were great. They paid attention to our allergy issues and were super helpful in general. read more

straightforward diner/cafe with something for everybody. quite flexible to substitutions and accommodations. food is consistent and generous. have been here for brunch and something that is between lunch and dinner. servers are very kind and attentive. many orders are placed takeout so it's nice to sit in their quiet space with soft instrumental playing in the background. appreciate this as an option on thayer. read more

This is a cute little spot. Space is pretty small, but food is good quality and comes out quickly. We got a mixture of breakfast items as well as lunch items. The portions are pretty big. The sandwiches were huge and definitely stuffed so it was worth the money. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to you if you're choosing to dine in. Huge menu read more

Meeting Street Cafe is a great place for casual breakfast. I most recently got the chicken and waffles, which is served with strawberries and bananas for a fun twist. The chicken is also pounded flat before breading, which I thought was a nice touch. My boyfriend got a breakfast burrito, and I finished it for him, and I would say the burrito is okay, but maybe not where they shine brightest. You order at the counter and food gets brought to the table pretty quickly. The slightly off Thayer St. Location is bustling, and parking can be a little tricky. There's a spot of two in the shared parking lot in front for the cafe, but otherwise it's street parking. read more

Meeting Street Cafe - Chicken and Waffles - Sandwiches Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Efficient and freshly made no-frills food with generous portions and reasonable prices. Breakfast all day is a nice feature that adds versatility to the menu. I had a turkey sandwich with cranberry on whole wheat bread; the turkey was a little on the salty side but definitely a big step up from normal deli meat, and being able to get a healthy side like tabbouleh instead of just piling on chops or fries was appreciated. Probably more of a student hangout than a formal dine-in destination, especially with BYOB, but gets the job done and there's something for everyone... read more

This is a classic spot on Thayer St. I love that Meeting St has stuck around through all of the iterations of this area. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is solid but the coffee leaves a bit to the imagination. I enjoyed my veggie and cheese omelet with potatoes. Overall, a solid option for a casual breakfast. read more

Great breakfast at the MS cafe. I'm a sucker when you say you have home made corned beef hash and they did not disappoint. It was great with chunks of green pepper and onions with definitely homemade corned beef. Tasty! Hard to mess up the eggs and they did not. The hash browns were surprisingly great as well. I don't usually expect much. They were crispy and flavorful not at all the mushy kind. The French toast was also really good. The place reminds me of the soup place on the Seinfeld show in the way you order. But the people were nice. read more

I am new to the Providence area and have been on a mission to find my new favorite breakfast place. I've ordered a pancake combo at a number of different places on the east side of Providence and this one was my least favorite and the most expensive at $15.95. The pancake was a little overdone but the eggs were very good. The bacon was a large helping but not my favorite. I certainly wouldn't stay away, but it just wasn't my favorite place I've been to but the people next to us ordered sandwiches that looked great. All in all I may come back to try a sandwich. read more

Meeting Street Cafe - PANCAKE COMBO - Sandwiches Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Went here for the first time pretty recently. Everything was very good. The bacon was a little greasy, so next time I will ask for crispy bacon. Very large portions, and not a bad deal. You order up at the counter, and then go sit down, so you don't really have service. But the guys behind the counter were great. good location and pretty decent food means I will be back again. read more

Typical college eating place. The atmosphere is quite bare bones with a college crowd. The service is fast and excellent. Order and pick up at the counter or service from a pleasant waiter Now comes the good part! The food is delicious and plentiful. Sandwiches stuffed full I had a breakfast delight. French toast, with 3 perfect eggs over light and 6 strips of bacon. absolutely plentiful and delicious cooked and prepared beautifully. Hard to find, parking on street and stairs to climb but do not let that stop you from a no frills dinner. Delicious all the way. read more

I usually order the French toast which is delicious! The omelette with home fries and toast is yummy! One time I ordered the blueberry pancakes which were DRY! Tonight I ordered a Caesar salad and shrimp scampi! Thank GOD I tasted the dressing before putting it on my salad! It was disgusting! Tell me why as I'm eating my salad I get the taste of raw onion (which I despise)! At a closer look I found several white onions and 1 piece of red onion in the salad. The shrimp scampi was ok it came with 6 shrimp, the shrimp was tough, I ate 2.

Hmmmm....found myself in the area looking to kill some time while waiting to attend an event at Brown University. You order at the counter and then take a seat. The woman behind the counter was super friendly and I definitely gave some strong consideration to the GIGANTIC chocolate chip cookies right near the register, but ended up with a bowl of clam chowder and a coffee. I tucked into a comfy booth... The coffee was perfect, not too weak, not too strong, just right for this Goldilocks. I had a moment before trying the chowder, where I wondered why on earth I decided that clam chowder at 8:00 on a Sunday night was a good idea...but...it was actually quite good and tasted fresh. read more

This is the closest to an old fashioned diner in the Brown University neighborhood, has been at this location since 1984. Alcoholic beverages are not served, but they allow you BYOB and, conveniently, the Spiritus Fermenti liquor store is just a level down in the same building. My better half and I had dinner here yesterday before attending an art concert in the Brown campus, and today I took advantage of their breakfast offerings in the afternoon after completing my taxes. For dinner I had their sirloin steak plate and she had the tuna melt sandwich plate. As you can see in the photos, portions are very generous and almost impossible to finish! Menu is extensive and you can order online for pickup if desired. Ambiance is casual and family friendly. Service is very quick after you order with the cashier. Free street parking is available in spots along Thayer and Brooke streets, as well as metered street parking. I did enjoy their old fashioned appeal and their friendly service, and certainly we'll be back. read more

Meeting Street Cafe is one of those quintessential Thayer Street restaurants. For anyone in the area looking for a down-to-earth breakfast or diner experience, Meeting Street Cafe is your spot. Walking up the stairs, you can't help but notice the blue booths and the fact that they overlook outside. You order your food at the counter where you can also see all of the food being cooked at the same time. The portions at Meeting Street are definitely on the generous side. With the student discount (Yes, Brown University students get a discount with ID), everything is reasonable. However, the wait and food quality is generally inconsistent. It seems like everything was made in a hurry and I've often found myself needing to season the breakfast dishes. Meeting Street's a classic, so if you're on Thayer, it's a place that can't be missed. read more

Definitely not what I was expecting when I read cafe. You order at the counter before sitting down which really threw me off. There was no refill on drinks unless you walk up to the counter. They do bring the food to your table, but it felt cold. The space itself is your regular diner they have booths and tables. They're all pretty close together. I went on a Sunday around 4pm and it was empty. read more

In short word, delicious food and great service! Walked in and saw the menu (it is huge...the menu that it) so many different options and they serve breakfast all day. I went during lunch time and was looking for a great Caesar salad. The portion was great! Used up for two meals! Little pricey but I can see why (great quality). The flavor was on point and cooked on the spot. They have parking but it is off Thayer St. so be sure to give yourself enough time, Incase their lot is full. There is a dining area, kid friendly and delivery options. read more

The place feels like a small town diner and I love it. THEIR PANCAKES ARE SO GOOD and so are there burgers, fries, and chicken vegetable soup. It's affordable and even has a student discount! I go there so much that they started recognizing me and it felt like home. They have a good rewards program and I love eating there! read more

What a nice place to go for a coffee and meet a friend. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting a friend from Yelp. I live in Rhode Island and she lives in California and we had never met before. We talked through Yelp. She takes some great pictures and she travels a lot so her reviews are interesting. She came to Rhode Island for work and we arranged to meet and I was just thrilled. Hannah is a great person and very interesting. It is quiet in the café so we were able to get a bite to eat and sit and talk for quite a while. Just a lovely experience. And the salad was excellent. read more

Solid for breakfast and lunch. Good service and generous portions. Simple yet very well done.

Hey y'all. Sorry to give a one star review. This is strictly because I could have died due to their negligence, and when confronted with the information, they didn't seem to care. SO HERE'S THE STORY. My friend bought a couple of their plate sized cookies to our writing group two nights ago, a chocolate-chocolate cookie and a "garbage" cookie. Because I have an almond allergy, my friend asked upon purchasing the cookie, "Are there almonds in this?" The guy whom she purchased it from said there's white chocolate, raisins, pecans, coconut. "So no almonds?" No, he said. Fast forward to when I eat a piece of the cookie and start coughing uncontrollably, eyes watering, tongue tingling, stomach hurting. THANKFULLY I DIDN'T DIE. I haven't eaten almonds since I was diagnosed with an allergy two years ago, so I don't know how severe my reaction will be. But someone with a worse allergy could have easily gone into anaphylactic shock. I called the store the next day to ask about the cookie, just because I was suspicious, and after putting me on hold for several minutes, someone came back on the line to say: chocolate, coconut, almonds, etcetera (she actually said etcetera). "So there ARE almonds?" Yes, she said. *note, almonds are not even listed online as an ingredient...which is confusing and misleading for everyone. My friend went back to talk to the manager to explain what happened, and he was very blasé about the whole thing, and said it was her fault because she didn't specify it was for an allergy. Does that change the answer of the question?? Anyway: short story, it was an amazing cookie, but I'm glad I didn't die from eating it. If you or a loved one has an allergy, PLEASE PLEASE be very cautious about eating here and/or bring an epipen. read more

The pancakes were sooo fluffy! They really know how to do breakfast well! Also enjoyed our egg sandwich with everything bagel.

I thought it was a little too pricey. Food was good but I wouldn't make a regular trip there. Their burgers were like $16. Yikes!

It was delicious, my Sister in law took us here. This place was her favorite place for cookies when she was at Brown university! Great breakfast! read more

I came to Meeting Street Cafe with high hopes of finding a decent diner on College Hill. Long story short, I am still looking. The portions were large, but when considering the price, there are definitely better value restaurants out there. A 3-stack pancake was $9.50 - after tax and tip a single pancake comes out to $4. The food itself was tasty in the moment, but you can definitely feel the grease after eating. Definitely prepare to take a nap after eating here. If you're willing to pay a little more for a cleaner environment, Meeting Street Cafe may be for you, but until they improve their food and lower their prices, I will be staying away. read more

This is a great spot on the East Side of Providence for breakfast, lunch, or dinner- with my personal favorite being their lunch/dinner. There is a wide variety of options, where everyone in the family is bound to find something they like. During COVID-19, they have been extremely accommodating. While no one is allowed to dine in, take out is still offered with the car side to go feature. Just note that while this restaurant is very close to Brown, prices (especially for breakfast) are slightly higher than the average cafe. Definitely worth a visit while you're in the area! Highly recommend. read more

Got a omelette take out and it's the worst I ever had Do they clean their grills? The veggies are not so burnt, so I wonder from where is the carbon in my omelette coming from? To top that, I didn't request extra crunch but there are stone like particles in most bite. Which could be charcoal or what I don't know. But my teeth can't break it. Plus the food lacked taste. Still I ate with ketchup on it. Had to stop when I came across plastic bits in my omelette. Disappointed. read more

We ordered take out thru door dash. It was delicious. We ordered the Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich on Organic Wheat bread with Thick-sliced Tomato.

The 3 scoops selected were the Curried Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, and Hummus. Pita bread slices also came on the side. Their curried chicken salad is my absolute new favorite. read more
