    Chocolate chip pancakes, brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal, breakfast quesadillas
    Alessandra S.

    Easily the best breakfast food I've ever had. The place was busy but that didn't prevent the staff from being attentive. I highly recommend eating here!

    Great breakfast spot, and very reasonably priced. I loved the healthy breakfast omelet as it was loaded with spinach, feta, and mushrooms. The fruit was fresh and sweet; coffee was great too. If the day is nice, definitely sit outside.

    My favorite brunch place in RI! I would come here all the time when I lived in Pawtucket -- it is such a treat every time. I order something different every time and there hasn't been a dish I dislike. Parking is limited, but you can find street parking in the area. The wait is long on the weekends, I've waited anywhere between 20-45 minutes but I think it's worth the wait every time!! The place is small but cozy, I have been to their other locations where the interior is larger but I find the Pawtucket location to be my favorite when it comes to the food and ambiance :)

    Crab cake Benedict with avocado and grilled steak tip Benedict with caramelized onions and mushrooms
    Taylor S.

    We went here a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post this review. Service was 10/10. She was really nice and helpful. I did not catch her name, but her recommendation for adding avocado to my crab cake Benedict was spot on. I definitely had low expectations for the crab cake Benedict because it's a breakfast spot and usually the crab cake isn't the best on the menu. But wow was I wrong. The crab was so good! Some crab cakes I've had are all breadcrumbs, not this one. This was a legitimate crab cake, crab in every bite. And it tasted really good too, seasoned nicely and not fishy at all. Easily just skyrocketed to my number one favorite breakfast dish at a breakfast restaurant. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare. So tender as well. Highly recommend adding mushrooms and caramelized onions as well (I will definitely get like that every time). We also split a churro waffle (it was a special that day, I'm not sure if they still have), but it was also fantastic. It had caramelized bananas and churros on top. I couldn't finish. Took it home and it was still super good. I highly highly recommend. Make sure to try the crab cake Benedict and add avocado!!!

    Two chocolate chip pancakes , bacon , coffee , regular maple syrup.

    Went on a solo breakfast adventure after work. This is a small but cozy breakfast spot. Luckily, it wasn't busy, and I was told to seat myself. A kind waitress took my drink order and brought it over while I washed my hands in their well-kept bathroom. When I returned, my coffee and water were already waiting for me. After adding creamer, the waitress came back to take my order: two chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and crispy bacon. The pancakes were warm and fluffy, with a generous pile of whipped cream on top. The bacon was thick-cut and cooked perfectly. I left that plate empty. I asked for a coffee refill -- it was the perfect temperature and blend. I paid my bill and sat for a while, enjoying the early afternoon and slowly sipping my coffee. Can't wait to be back.

    The Rhody Hen Omelette ($12.49)
    David L.

    The Rhody Hen is a solid choice for a hearty standard American breakfast. Service is prompt and friendly, and despite the small footprint of the restaurant, they are able to squeeze in a decent number of tables. I enjoyed The Rhody Hen omelette, with sweet caramelized onions, mushrooms, chicken sausage, spinach and Swiss cheese. The red skin breakfast potatoes were well cooked and seasoned, and they offer plenty of toast options, including my favorite (rye bread)! Their coffee is from local Downeast Coffee Roasters, and the servers make sure you're consistently topped off.

    Pumpkin pancake

    Coming back to Rhode Island just to come back here. Are you kidding me? What a gem this place is. I love the cozy environment but it's no where near simple when it comes to their offerings and rotation of the menu and seasonal drinks. I was thoroughly impressed by the service and QUALITY of the food. Our server was kind and attentive and we took our time enjoying every single bite. The pumpkin pancake has to be the best pancake I've ever had and that's by no exaggeration. Definitely make the stop here if you're in the area and you won't regret it.

    We went in at 10 am on a Thursday morning. A couple walked in a half second before we did. They were immediately greeted and someone took their drink order they got their first and second drinks before anyone ever greeted us. Our orders were taken about 3 mins apart, yet they are more than halfway finished with their meals before we got our food. Our server (Madison) never checked on us but, honestly, it wasn't needed. Whoever is working the grill is amazing! I asked for over medium eggs and they were perfectly cooked. No trace of runny whites and the yolk was still runny. Absolute perfection. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came medium rare. Usually with smaller cuts of meat, I order medium rare and I get medium well. Not here. The pico is wonderfully fresh and limey. The beans are flavorful as is the steak. I was beyond delighted that the plate came with corn tortillas instead of flour which seems to be the typical offering in New England. The habanero benny was the perfect combo of sweet and heat. Not too spicy, but tons of flavor. We ordered the sauce on the side in case it was too hot, but it was perfect. Could've used more hollandaise, but no complaints overall. I wish I had more room in my stomach to eat other offerings (the seasonal French toast looks like it would make amazing dessert). If I'm back in RI, I'll definitely come back for breakfast. Hopefully the service will be more attentive in the future (the couple who walked in with us finished their meal and were gone a good 15 mins before anyone brought us our check).

    Bloody Mary
    Bre B.

    Seriously, New Year's resolution to get fit? I vote for get fluffy it's gonna be a cold winter we all need that extra layer of fluff for insulation! This month's specials are seriously fantastic! My tastebuds are so happy! Did an eye roll over the first bite of the cinnamon swirl French toast....didnt think I needed it but the Vermont maple syrup soooooo good. I've become addicted to their bloody Mary's....they offer a variety of types and I highly recommend you try each of them (it requires multiple visits which is a huge plus!) my fav is the tequila Bloody Mary....there's just something about it. Hey if you've decided to go for the New Year's resolution of fit, you need a reward.....this is a great option!

    This place makes good omelettes. I really enjoy the Hot Kiss Omelet, which comes with chorizo, onions, peppers, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese, and is topped with pico de gallo and fresh avocado.

    French toasted with strawberries and banana! So yummy
    Eunice V.

    I love supporting local, fresh farms, and I think this place has become my favorite so far. My significant other was also impressed! We will definitely come back!

    It is a small space, but you don't feel crowded. Tables and floors were clean. Service was very good. The breakfast meats were cooked well. The French toast was fluffy and tasty. Eggs were done right. Pleasantly surprised and pleased.

    Who knew a great Jewish deli in Pawtucket!…read more Came in and had 2 apps, and then I had the Pastrami on sourdough. Apps where great and my sandwich was great. Super cool old school diner inside. Our server really explained the menu well, and you get pickles & cole slaw instead of bread! Very cool!!

    Come for the décor, stay because your food hasn't arrived yet…read moreAfter seeing WhatDidYouEatTodaySir hype up Marvin's Delicatessen, I figured it was worth the ride down from the Boston area. I love a good deli. Unfortunately, this wasn't just disappointing--it was borderline comical. Let's start with the good: the place looks fantastic. Clean, modern, really well done. If Yelp rated based on interior design alone, this place is pushing 5 stars. Now... the rest. First clue something was off--the dining room felt like a walk-in freezer. Not exaggerating: every single table had people eating in their coats. At some point you have to look around and think, "maybe we turn the heat up before someone orders a side of frostbite." Then came the wait. And the wait. And the wait. Close to an hour for deli sandwiches. During that time, I had a clear view of the kitchen, which turned into dinner and a show. Plates were coming back nonstop--wrong bread, wrong orders, total confusion. It was like watching a live-action blooper reel. Eventually, our food arrives... and of course, it's wrong. Back it goes. No big deal--mistakes happen. Round two: soup comes out with vegetables after my wife clearly explained she has an allergy. The waitress caught it (thankfully), and back it goes again. What finally came out can only be described as "chicken soup in spirit." It tasted like someone waved a bouillon cube over hot water and called it a day. No seasoning, no substance, and I'm pretty sure the "chicken" made a brief guest appearance and left. Her sandwich? Also wrong--and somehow included onions and mystery vegetables. So that was basically game over. I ordered the 50/50 (pastrami and corned beef). I say "ordered," but identifying what actually showed up was a bit of a guessing game. The meat was dry--painfully dry. The pastrami (I think?) had the texture of kindling wood and looked like it had been sliced by someone who just discovered what a knife is. Tough, stringy, and completely lacking that juicy, melt-in-your-mouth quality you expect from a deli. The waitress seemed nice enough but didn't really know the menu, and the kitchen was clearly in full chaos mode. One guy--who I assume was the owner or manager--was running around like a man trying to put out ten fires with a squirt gun. At some point, we just started laughing. Not because it was good--because it was so bad it crossed into "you can't make this up" territory. Maybe I'm spoiled coming from the North Shore, where delis take pride in their corned beef and pastrami. But if you're going to call yourself a delicatessen, you've got to at least get the basics right. This place has the look, but none of the execution. I wouldn't go back. I wouldn't recommend it. And next time I'll just stay north of the border where the sandwiches actually show up correctly--and edible.

    It is hard to get ice cream wrong, but three sisters does it so well!…read moreThey have an extensive board of flavors (my favorite is the community kulfi!) Having a job that has me outside most of the day it is really nice to have a friendly space to stop in and cool off. There are no steps to get in, the menu board is large and readable, and they offer things like individual ice creams, smoothies, and milkshakes as well as larger tubs of their homemade ice cream, ice cream cakes, gift cards, and do in store pickup for online orders as well ​as delivery through doordash.

    This location offers homemade ice cream . They are rich in flavor and have fun unique flavors …read more They are on the pricey side. It is great ice cream though usually a reward for walking the boulevard trail . We stopped in and got our order in before the rush -- completely quiet only ones there . The menu is a lot bigger than before and they offer a couple of specials . The space however is a lot smaller so when the line suddenly went out the door I got a bit anxious . Someone had an oversized backpack and almost took me out when they turned . I ordered the frozen chai which was delicious . The description said it came with whip cream but mine did not . The worker just handed me the drink and left . I felt it wasn't worth grabbing her attention in all the sudden chaos , but for the hefty price was slightly disappointed.

    3.5 stars but not at all because of the quality of food. We waited over 45 minutes for our food…read morewhile watching others who sat down AGES after us and therefore ordered AGES after us get their food. They ended up giving us free brownies and free orange juice to make up for their mistake (maybe forgot to put our order in?), but still maybe could've gotten a comp for one of our dishes that we had already ordered instead of new dishes we didn't need. I'm grateful don't get me wrong just.... The food was delicious though. I'm not a huge biscuit person but the biscuit was yummy and flaky which I feel like is different from normal ones? Idk regardless was good and it came with grapefruit jam and butter yum. The hash browns were hands down my fav dish. So oily and crispy and everything a hash brown should be MMMM plus the aioli and cubed presentation. The pancakes were so good and fluffy and GIANT and the whipped butter was yummy on top. The maitake madame was something different but nonetheless good. It was very mustardy but also not too overwhelmingly mustardy and the cheese on top the crispy bread was perfect. All in all the food was superb but the long wait time is what ultimately brought this rating down. The place was also very crowded and lively up until closing, no doubt due to the delicious food
