    Small pancake order (2)
    Phyllis M.

    Another great breakfast at Hamilton. But I got carded, & denied! Waitress said I looked too damn good for 62. (Im 56, with a prescription list only a body builder could carry around. 62 will be here soon enough..maybe I'll be there for it. Hubby had classic Benedict & i had just the typical eggs, meat, homefries & toast. 2 ice coffees & hubs has 2 lg OJs. The breakfast table isn't for the faint of heart anymore. Food was prepared perfected, of course. And I didn't get our usual table outside the bathroom for a change. They are expanding their afternoon.menu also.

    We just went for the first time today. We ordered the lobster benedict, corn beef hash, the stuffed blueberry French toast and a pancake meal. Everything was fantastic and the service was great. The over 62 meal was a great value and a large portion for the money. All the portions were generous. The call ahead to join the waitlist was super helpful on a busy Sunday. My only complaint was my husband ordered the lobster benedict special without checking the price and it was surprisingly $30. That was a little higher than we expected and he wouldn't have ordered it, but that's his fault for not checking the price beforehand. I highly recommend!

    My friends and I were out on another leg of the Lord of the Rings RI Food Fight and we began our day here. The place is cute and cozy, we were sat right away. Our server was very friendly and helped us decide what kinds of wings we wanted. She was awesome, I wish I could remember her name. We had two coupons so we chose the spicy peach winter berry wings and the hot honey wings. With lots of blue cheese dressing on the side! We were really impressed with the wings here. Nice and crispy, and both sauces were very good. I liked the spicy peach better but all the wings were eaten quickly. Most of the group lives in the area and were pleased to see the great breakfast and lunch options available every day, all day. We will definitely be back to try some of their other offerings!

    The Hamilton Diner is an amazing spot! I had no idea how good it would be, until I walked in. I came because they are on the list for RI Food Fights best sandwich RI. The choices were a southern chicken and waffles breakfast sandwich or another very fancy sounding sandwich. Super fancy and impressive. When it came out, I was blown away. It was massive and it was yummy! I sat at their little coffee bar and Sam and Jacob took really great care of me! Sam had a hot chocolate in my hands in a matter of moments, and then I saw one of their specialty lattes (the little Debbie cake Xmas one) and wow! I will def be back! It looks like a show stopper! Ari, the owner, personally came over and asked about my experience. I told him the service had been great, the food and drink hot and yummy, and the customers personable and wonderful. Ari told me the restaurant was named after his grandparents hotel in upstate New York. I loved how he chose that as the inspiration for the places name. This was such a great find and wonderful experience. I highly suggest you check it out!

    Honestly for a diner I was shocked how good this was. The waitress was super kind, friendly loved some good banter. Place was busy! Love to see a local business thrive. Little bit old on the inside, but the real impressive part was the food. The potato skin Benedict, should be on every diner menu I go to. I will forever think about this experience it was that good and that filing! The blt was massive! Look at all that turkey! The chicken wings weren't bad, not my fave the cranberry type sauce was a bit odd but definitely different. Stick to the diner food guys it's a great little spot in seekonk!

    There was a 10 minute wait for a table, but we got seats at the bar immediately. In the waiting area they had a little kids play pen, which seemed like a nice touch. Sitting at the bar by the front, it was also neat to see the hostess and waitresses welcoming some guests by name, or stopping by to say hi to someone while they were waiting for a table. It was our first time there, but it's clearly a regular spot for many! We got a veggie and cheese omelette and the potato skin Benedict. Omelette was large and the cheese was generous! The potato skin Benedict was great too, it's the loaded-potato-skins-meets-bene and it's just as good as you're picturing. Ari, the owner, came out of the kitchen to introduce himself and check in a few minutes after the food arrived, another nice touch. It's a bit farther drive than our usual breakfast spots but I'm glad we gave it a try, it may be our new go-to!

    Hamilton Kitchen Sink (takeout)
    Mike L.

    I was staying in Barrington, RI and one day I ordered some breakfast via Doordash. Hamilton Diner showed up and it looked like it had a decent price. I ordered the Hamilton Kitchen Sink. What's in it? What's not in it? Pancakes topped with eggs, sausages, bacon and gravy. The portion size for takeout was pretty good relative to the price. The Hamilton Kitchen Sink is by no means a "light breakfast" but I I enjoyed it, bringing together a lot of flavors from classic diner food. I can't comment on anything about the physical diner, just that my order seemed to be fulfilled in a timely manner. If I'm in the area again, maybe I'll try eatting in there.

    Really friendly staff. I had a special BBQ brisket sandwich with bacon, cheese, & fried eggs on a biscuit. It was really good! The cold brew did its job and my waitress helped me decide on peppermint mocha. I haven't had that flavor in years! Cozy, comforting, glad I was able to take a moment with myself and sink into the booth.

    Came for the biscuits and gravy with over medium eggs and home fries with onions and peppers. All the food was good I really like the fact they mix the onions and peppers in the potatoes and not just place them on top. Our waitress was Ashley and she was very pleasant and helpful. She is very professional and knowledgeable about the menu. Even the owner stopped and the table to check up on us to make sure everything was good. This is a very cool restaurant to have breakfast at. The ambiance here is very casual and the service and food here is amazing not the franchise place the servers you quickly everything here is personable and friendly. I will be back again!!!

    Wow! This place really gets it. You can tell by the clientele that everyone enjoys coming here. You've got the older crowd that likes the classic breakfast choices, but you also have a younger crowd that comes in for the creative specials like the Barbacoa Benedict and the eggnog latte. These are the two items I had, and they were out of this world. The place is super casual, but very cute. The waitress was very inviting and encouraged us to come back and try some of the other specials that they've had before. I'm looking forward to having their sausage gravy! She raved about it.

    One more trip here in the books. Had the chicken orzo soup and mushroom burger. Soup very good fresh, tasty maybe a little salty. The burger was so good I didn't get a picture. I was almost done with it when I remembered. My mom and sister also enjoyed their choices. The service was great, owner came to make sure everything was goods. Very layers back vibe.

    Really nice vibe inside - I love the see-through cookbook/bookcase space that creates both an open…read morekitchen and some privacy for the chefs. Service was friendly & helpful, and the menu offers many delicious sounding options. Food is fast casual style (order at the counter, get a card - here all were west side street signs, not the usual numbered placards, food will be delivered to your table. I had the avocado shakshuka, my husband had the lox omelet (see the photo). Despite the large menu of fancy coffee options, we each had a basic iced. It was served in a glass, which was a nice touch. Self serve milk was at a station in the dining room area. Coffee was good, cold but I would have traded some coffee for a bit more ice to stay that way as I drank it slowly. Both of us were surprised when our meals were delivered: the plates were beaut! In particular his omelet was absolutely gorgeous! Now for the flavors: the omelet had a generous helping of perfect cooked eggs (not sitting in a pile of grease, as restaurant omelets frequently are). It was so fluffy that we both thought "that's way more than the advertised 3 eggs," and the lox was thickly layered whole slices nestled inside the fold. Most places chop the lox like vegetables, add it to the eggs, & make it like a veggie omelet - meh. This iteration was perfect; the lox tasted like smoked salty fish, losing none of that flavor to the omelet itself. The potatoes? Fabulous! Great spice mix, cooked until they were crispy. That was a tasty bit of marble rye toast too. My shakshuka was very good, but a bit less successful. The elements were all excellent; the avocado was actually guacamole since it was mashed & there were tomatoes and spices in the dish. The combination worked, except for the bread element. The dish as presented was really more of an avocado toast with shakshuka on top. It might have been more successful to add the avocado/guacamole as a unique base on the plate, with the tomato sauce and eggs on top with toast on the side (as is the way shakshuka is traditionally served) because halfway through the bread got really soggy & less appetizing. Still, the first few bites, while everything was still warm? So good!

    One thing I really loved here? They offer a free coffee with any food purchase for first…read moreresponders, which is especially fitting since they're right next door to a police and fire complex. For the RI food fights challenge, they were serving a CRU Cookie Blazer--an iced dirty chai latte with hazelnut and vanilla syrup, vanilla cold foam, Oreos, and CRU mocha sauce. It's not normally on their menu, but they'll happily make it if you ask! This one was definitely more of a sweet treat than the bold coffee flavor I usually gravitate toward, but if you love dessert-inspired coffee drinks, this is right up your alley. I'll definitely be back because that lobster avocado toast has my name written all over it.
