This place was okay. Service was good and food was just alright. Typical breakfast food.

AMAZING FOOD! It is BYOB so bring some champagne and get some orange juice to kill the hangover. The monkey bread is phenomenal and no matter what you order will cure your hangover and get you into the bars. The staff is friendly and quick. Very simple cafe with an "at home" feel and a "good to see you again" atmosphere read more

I love to give a shout out to a restaurant that gives me something fun and a little different. So I'll shout out to the chef at the Hungry Monkey for putting some fun funk into the home fries, and fresh hash, both were welcomed and appreciated. If you're afraid of a little flavor and good stuff, then feel free to go elsewhere. Service was great. A good experience all around. . . . The 5th star is for the double handled (and double sided) monkey mug and whipped cream for the hot chocolate, always a winner for a kid of any age ! read more

I understand it's New Year's Day and am grateful someone cooks a breakfast for us. I really do... However, the wait time and unfortunately also the food was AWFUL, discouraging and disappointing. When we arrived to Hungry Monkey, one of the waitresses took our name and basically kick us out to wait 15-20 minutes outside. Lucky for us the weather was not bad for 1st of January and there is a cool antique store next door that allows to spare time by browsing around. After 20 minutes the waitress came outside and yell to the waiting crowd that whoever is ok with sitting on the bar seats, there are four open. We gave it a shot. We were able to place our order fairly quickly and after a while received a coffee and water, little did we know we're about to wait another HOUR for our eggs. I dared to ask about time frame of our order around 40 minutes since order but the waitress hasn't seem to be much concerned and she quickly floated to the kitchen and informed that our order is second next. During long wait time, we had a good chance to look around and not appreciate the look of the restaurant- kind of messy, didn't look like anyone cares of the atmosphere, behind the bar we had a view to a counter with several purses, jackets, Dunkin Donuts cups and lots of other mess. Doors to the kitchen were open with the view of this tired woman trying to hand wash all the dishes. There was also a phone ringing every so often without any employee being bothered by that. We waited another 15+ minutes to receive raw inedible potatoes and unseasoned omelette... The food just wasn't good, not worth to wait over an hour and absolutely not worth the price. For these reasons, I don't recommend and won't come back. read more

Went here on Father's Day & I was very pleased. The service was excellent.. our server, Jen, who also is the GM, was so busy but still made sure she was giving each patron adequate time for great service.. I had the short stack of blueberry pancakes, which where were loaded with berries.. yummy.. my father had the churro French toast and I swear it was devoured within a few mins.. my mom also enjoyed her pancakes, she mentioned how delicious they were. And the rest of the family had various versions of the several omelette choices.. now that the crew from Bishop's Diner is working & cooking here, the food & customer service has gone up 100%. It's worth the try... read more

The hungry money was loosing its strengths! I been here a few years back, I'm was supper excited to come here and try some of their good old menu items. I wasn't happy with their steak and eggs. I think their choice of cuts could be better! However I was still overall happy, walking out full! Their portions were good large sizes fitting their name. The staff was really nice and friendly and the breakfast/brunch menu was still good. We'll priced as usual. The locals will alway come here for a nice sunday breakfast. The vibes shouts let's eat! Their wall posters and photos could do a face lift which it needed to beat some competitors from their ball park! Will comeback again! read more

Can't understand why this place isn't overflowing! We stopped by at 10 for a late breakfast and were seated right away. The decorations are fun and service was polite, but the two rockstars of the morning were the HOMEMADE corned beef hash and the stuffed French toast. The corned beef hash is presented very unpretentiously on the menu, but don't let that fool you. They make it in house, and as a self-identified connoisseur who's had the dish at almost as many breakfast places as I've been to, this is some of the best corned beef hash I've ever had. Generous chunks of meat with the perfect amount of crunch, and seasoned well--it made my heart happy. We split the churro stuffed French toast for dessert, and the cream cheese frosting was just the way to make this dish a delightful end to a great brunch experience. read more

An one of a kind breakfast dinner. The food is fresh and the staff is amazing! They serve breakfast all day... and you can't go wrong with the Gorilla!!! read more

We were spending the day in Newport and stopped in this lovely little establishment for a quick bite to begin our day. We arrived around 1:30 and they are open daily until 2 pm . We were greeted by the owner who told us we could sit anywhere we liked. The menu consists of breakfast and lunch items, and there's also a huge blackboard on the wall with daily specials. My sister ordered a Reuben sandwich and I just opted for a grilled cheese because I was not hungry yet. Both were great, as was the service and their prices. If you're looking for great food in Newport that won't break the bank, you will not be disappointed! read more

This place is AWESOME. Googled where to go for breakfast and this place did NOT show up. So grateful that the place on the other corner had a line to get in. This place has the yummiest stuffed French toasts. And the blueberry pancakes are amazing with fresh blueberries and powdered sugar. Want just a little something have a muffin grilled with a smidgen of butter. Service? Holy cow, they all work together. You can see the genuine smiles. They help each other and make sure the guests are taken care of. Please do yourself a favor, GO here for breakfast or lunch! The food was so yummy that we ate it all before I remembered to take pictures. read more

The table was sticky- like my arms kept sticking to it. The food was extremely basic and lacked taste. The waitress was in her own world, nice but not a good waitress. The day before we had an AMAZING breakfast down the block (actually I could see the establishment from my seat inside the Monkey) and this palce can't compare. But the other business had a long wait so we tried Hungry Monkey. I would say- keep walking past and go wait down the block. read more

Breakfast on a Sat am ....waited about 20 min to get seated. Seen some open table and wondered why the wait. Seems like they may have been understaffed ? Took awhile to get our order taken. 3 of us got our breakfast while one order was never made. Disaster. Grilled English tasted like it was oiled and not buttered ! No jellies on table. And had to wait 5 min to get some. One of us got the wrong bread for toast. ... Food was ok , corned beef hash was very good. Maybe just a bad day ? I've been told this was the place to get a great breakfast. With all the competition for breakfast ,we won't be back. The place could also use a good cleaning. read more

Great service, nice atmosphere and good food. Lots of specials and they offer bolos which I love. Had a really good breakfast sandwich.

This place was very small and welcoming. The waitress/hostess was incredibly nice and had a get stuff done attitude while also being friendly. I ordered take out and she had everything ready for me quickly and efficiently, even had a thank you written on the bag. I got the turkey wrap and I was definitely full after eating half of it. Their portion sizes are very generous and I recommend saving it for two meals. I had half the wrap for lunch and save the rest for dinner. Their fries were also crispy and while they did lack a little salt, the waitress put some in the bag so I have no complaints. They also look like they adhere to social distancing rules and regulations. However, I picked up my food at a slow point in the day since it looks like they're only open until about 2pm. I will be back! read more

We came here after realizing where we planned to go was closed. I love a good breakfast place. The host was super nice took our number and called us when your table was ready. We sat and our server was quick. My husband said his coffee tasted burnt but my hot chocolate was fabulous! I got the stuffed French toast. I'm not typically a French toast fan but it sounds great. I was disappointed it was pretty flavorless and I ate some. The cream cheese was okay and the banana brought nothing to it and it just tasted like bread. It needed something more but it was not soggy so that's a huge plus! We were in Newport for the weekend so it's not a place we would frequent since we don't live close but if I came back I'd go with something else. read more

Came here during a couple days in Newport, and stopped here before heading out. I would say this place over had highs and lows. Love the décor and interior. Service was also really nice. The waitress who helped me was great. The lows for me was the food. I ordered a BLT and a breakfast burrito, and they were soooo different in presentation and taste. The BLT was a bunch of food with a full sandwich and fries on the side, while the burrito was bland and barely anything in it. The iced coffee was huge which I loved. That's why I say it's really down the middle. It was truly a hit or a miss when ordering. Not sure I would take a chance coming here again, the consistency in the food just couldn't convince me. read more

Honestly I have tried their food on multiple occasions...don't ask me why because I find that I'm constantly disappointed. First time I went it was pretty good! Everything was cooked appropriately, tasted fine and great service...but everytime after that... Burnt, yet undercooked biscuits, with curdled gravy...bland bland bland. And can we talk about the potatoes?? They give you SOO many potatoes! Don't know if there was a change in the individuals cooking the food, but from here on out, I'll pass. read more

Decent brunch spot that attracts both locals and tourists. I had the Portuguese style eggs Benedict and especially enjoyed the bread/muffin that came with it. Definitely better than an English muffin. Having cheese sauce on my eggs Benedict was a nice change, even though I love Hollandaise sauce. The chorizo was average and the side of potatoes could have been crispier. Prices were reasonable. Taste | 3.5-4 Atmosphere | 3 Presentation | 3 Service | 3 OVERALL | 3.5 read more

Tina's take: -3/10 If I could give zero stars I would. This place needs a reality check. Our waitress got our drink and food order and we never saw her again. It should not take an hour to make eggs for two people. Another waitress came and brought us a muffin to hold us over not even our waitress! The place wasn't even that busy to have that long of a wait. People next to us seemed aggravated as well because their food came out at all different times. It was simply horrendous. With it being behind they were still seating people without telling them that the kitchen is backed up. This place lives up to its name... leaving you hungry read more

The food was yummy! We arrived at about noon on a recent Friday for brunch and the food did not disappoint. Deducting one star for the disorganized service. We stood at the door forever, waiting to just be acknowledged. People piled up in line behind us and still, we were just ignored. Finally, when they were ready to seat us, they tried to put the two of us at a table that would have easily sat the party of 6 behind us in line. We volunteered to go to a smaller available table and the waitress short-circuited for a minute. Having said all of that, we would return, as the food was really good. I think they just need to get themselves a little organized. read more

Came here as a second choice. We should have stuck with our first choice but the other place was too long of a wait. Had the French toast which was just ok. Bacon was burnt. My husband had eggs and pancakes with home fries. His pancakes n home fries were very good. The waitress never paid attention to us. There were people behind us while waiting for a table that were served before us n left before us. She should be reprimanded for her service since we waited so long for even just getting a menu to getting our food n check. I wouldn't come back again. read more

We waited for an hour and never got our food, they totally forgot our order and did not apologize. our waiter had an airpod in and totally ignored us, there was also no drink refills and no reassurance. Definitely worst place in Newport to eat. Wouldn't recommend to anyone, surprised they aren't shut down yet. Also such a dirty place, the restroom also hasn't been cleaned as ages, it appears... Stains everywhere, even outside the restroom. Such a disgusting place. Never visiting again. (Picture attached is of the rest room sink). read more

Nice and small brunch spot on Broadway in Newport! Very mom and pop style. Nice aesthetic for a small brunch date/ studying I got the spider monkey: beef hash, potato cubes, 2 runny eggs, and 2 pieces of toast $10.95 Pretty standard, but that in itself is nice. No complaints. Covid: they're quite masks outside of table area, social distance customers, have online menu, contract tracing, and section off booths Careful: they have an additional 3.95% if paid with credit card read more

We ended up giving this place a shot only because the place we originally were supposed to eat had a 40 min wait. I was certainly not disappointed to say the least! Service was a tad off but food was fresh and delicious. I tried the chimpanzee French toast and I wasn't really a big fan.. I feel the bread is too thick and ends up making it dry even with syrup but was eatable. The egg benny was def a better option and made to perfection. They don't offer lattes or flavored coffee, so keep that in mind. For us that was a little of a disappointment. All and all great quick breakfast spot! read more

Good kids options. All the portions are enormous - I'm not complaining! Veggie omelet was satisfying and pleasantly unique with broccoli in it. Stuffed French toast: he said, "I'm glad I didn't order a triple!" Delicious and generous portion. The single pancake with the kids meal was a micky mouse shape and would have covered my five year old's torso it was so big. She ate the egg and one micky ear . read more

Adorable concept and storefront. Their mascot monkey has been all over the world with pictures to prove it. A gem of a small business In Newport next to the police station, their breakfast game is strong. My friend ordered the Portuguese omelette and Belgian waffle, her boyfriend ordered an omelette as well and I had the two eggs with bacon and homefries. All our sets came with toast of our choice. The bacon was crispy the way I like it and the homefries were thick and flavorful. My friends omelette had chourizo which added a nice salty touch to the dish. The owner himself comes around refilling coffee and making conversation, we felt very welcomEd and taken care of. read more

My bf and I got here and we were waiting at the door and then inside. Super busy and no one really seated us. Until my bf decided to go outside to get someone's attention and then we got seated. Took about 15 min for the waitress to come get our order and I had to get her attention as well. I'm not sure if it's because they were short staffed because there was only 3 people working the whole Restaurant, only two taking orders. But there were people who came after us that got their orders in. The traditional eggs Benedict was not too bad. For the build your omelette, the toast was burnt, the omelette was more of a toppings wrapped with egg. The egg was overcooked and charred (not sure if it's cause of the grill) half the omelette was also broken. read more
