It's not just the little train car diner that you see when you first walk in! The host and waitress that we had were very kind and accommodating to our larger party. The menu had so many options for both breakfast and lunch! It definitely has something for everyone. Overall, a cute little breakfast diner with good food and service!

Lots of options and all were terrific. My group had the pulled pork omelette, crab cakes Benedict and I had the stuffed french toast along with a side of hash. The hash was homemade and a perfect balance of potatoes and corned beef. Add fantastic coffee, bloody mary's and great service and you have a spot that I will return to again and again!

It was amazing. A grilled cheese loaded with bacon and lots of tomato slices. It came out gooey and cheesy. Most important, it was delicious. Swing by and enjoy breakfast or lunch.

We were finally sat next to the hostess stand and we noticed three groups of people leave after not even being acknowledged by any employee while in line. The hostess has no clue what she's doing and looks miserable to be there, on her phone half the time. Our server wasn't too bad, you could tell she had a lot on her plate to do her job well. I ordered eggs and homemade hash.....the homemade hash was some shredded potato's and a couple shredded pieces of corned beef and I do mean a couple, for $18. I was very frustrated with the experience and will not be returning and it's too bad because I've been enjoy this location for many years on and off.

I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

Ellie's is dangerous. I walked in thinking coffee and one pastry. That lasted about 30 seconds…read more The owner (adorable, by the way) was walking around checking on tables and making sure everyone was happy. It feels like her place in the best way -- warm, proud, hands-on. Pastries are legit. Super buttery, flaky enough to make a mess, clearly baked that morning. No sad, sitting-around-all-day vibes. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and that tomato jam needs to be illegal. Sweet, savory, slightly tangy -- it completely makes the sandwich. I kept trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. Not happening. Crispy chicken sandwich was properly seasoned and not dried out (why is that so hard for some places?). Fries were solid too -- crispy, not limp. And the kale salad with roasted chickpeas and chicken made me feel like I had my life together. Fresh, simple, and actually satisfying. It's one of those places you stumble into while traveling and then immediately start googling whether you can justify going back the next day.

We were greeted when we entered and told to sit any where. It was a chilly, twent-something degree, January afternoon during our visit and trust me when I say there is *zero* insulation in those walls. Guests were wearing hats and sweater inside. Do dress warmly if visiting in winter. The menu has lots on offer. We chose a couple of burgers which come with fries or coleslaw or pasta salad or potato salad. So options. I ordered a regular burger which allears to be a premade patty, cooked 'well done'. This is literally a burger on a bun. No mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, etc. Add lettuce & tomato or cheese for a dollar each. Ketchup was brought to the table, but if you want some other condiment, so ask. My companion ordered the southern, aka bacon cheese burge. This also has no condiments so do be sure to specify. Fries are tasty, crispy outside, fluffy inside and delivered hot. The Caeser salad was fresh cut lettuce with a nice amount of mild dressing, crunchy croutons and grated cheese. A very nice side salad portion. The waitress was friendly and capable. Restrooms are updated and clean. Prices reasonable. Standard diner fare and 100% old school diner vibes.

It's not a gimmick, but a nod to the seaplanes that once landed on the working river across the street. Vintage jukeboxes at every booth complete the authentic, nostalgic vibe. The mushroom omelet was cooked to perfection and served with fresh red-potato home fries and multigrain toast. Coffee was classic diner fare. The massive Rodeo Burger came on a soft roll, topped with cheese, bacon, and onion rings, with a side of perfectly mashed red potatoes that tasted homemade. Our server, Stephanie, was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and clearly someone who enjoys what she does. Her positive energy made the entire experience better.

I'd highly recommend either and I'd absolutely drive the hour from Boston just to eat them again! My meal included flavorful cornbread, perfectly poached eggs, and a refreshing side salad. Great portions for the prices. Our servers did seem to forget about us. It wasn't bad enough to cause a serious compliant, but it did impact my experience (we had to flag them down after about 20 minutes of our empty plates and card out in front of us). Lastly, the menu is very limited - it's worth looking in advance if you have dietary restrictions. The drinks side is clearly alcohol-focused, none of the non-alcoholic drinks looked interesting which was especially unfortunate for brunch because I would have loved tea!

When we walked in, the staff told us to grab a table anywhere we liked. Inside, there are about 10 tables, bar stools facing the kitchen, and decor on the walls like pictures of the staff and famous people and unique statues. Outside, there are three tables as well. A few tables were occupied on a Wednesday afternoon. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and my husband ordered steak and eggs and a coffee milk. We didn't have to wait very long for the cheeseburger and the steak and eggs to come out on colorful light plates. Unfortunately, the greasy fries came about 15 minutes later and I was almost done with my cheeseburger by the time they came. The steak and eggs were a big portion; there were 2 pieces of steak, 2 eggs cooked how you like, potatoes, and bread. My husband really enjoyed his meal. The cheeseburger was a typical diner cheeseburger, but the meat was a little dry for my own personal taste. I did enjoy the sesame bun. Maybe I should have tried their pancakes or more breakfast type dishes. After completing our meal, we bought our yellow order receipt to the cashier. Our whole meal came to be $24.84 prior to tip which is a great price. If you are interested, you should visit Louis Family Restaurant just to try it for yourself and check it out since "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" was shot here and it was mentioned in a episode of "The Afterparty," the Apple TV murder mystery and comedy.

I took off a star because my food wasn't bad but wasn't great. The pancakes were more like crepes- completely flat and not fluffy :( The flavor was good but they just didn't hit the spot! I took another whole star off because they don't do substitutions. I don't eat home fries, which is what the pancakes come with, and they said no substitutions for anything else. Disappointing especially if you have a dietary need or strong preferences!

We were already seated down expecting the latter so my poor friend who is celiac couldn't even eat breakfast and had to get snacks elsewhere in fear the food would mess her up real bad. The place gives wacky dinner vibes with some interesting art apparently made by the owner's brother. It was pretty empty when we came in but we had been just looking for a chill place to sit down and each and not just a tiny cafe with no seating. I got the french toast and it was yummy, a nice classic that was very filling and left me with food still on my plate. Not bad, but not the best first impression.
