    One of my favorites in the greater Providence region and yet I truly never visit as frequently as I should. The serving options will meet any one of your needs. But make sure you bring an appetite. The only thing that you will find that exceeds is the outstanding service. Moments from Route 295 with lots of parking. Don't miss out!

    Cannot speak to the ambiance or service because we ordered delivery, but the pancakes were good! We also ordered an egg sandwich with sausage and it came with bacon instead- a bit disappointing but likely an honest mistake. It came pretty quickly too!

    Big thank you to Cranston dinner for seating a ten top an hour or so before closing. We called another place that will remain nameless and they wouldn't take us. Good thing anyway because the hospitality was great. Our waitress was very accommodating as well with us asking to split the check, so thank you. All the food came out in a timely manner and everything was great. It's so nice visiting places with reasonable prices and good portions. We'll definitely come back next time we're in town.

    We're out of towners looking for an affordable place for breakfast. Found this diner on Yelp. It looked dark from the outside but they were open. Jodi was our waitress and was friendly. Hubby ordered the special which was eggs, bacon, potatoes and pancakes. I ordered the Irish omelette, which is corned beef hash with provolone in an omelette. I think I was served Swiss cheese though cause it definitely didn't taste like provolone, not a big deal because It was a huge portion and ended up taking half of it home. White bread wasn't available, so I got sourdough which was just as good but the coffee was AWFUL. It was very, very light, almost transparent, as if it was brewed with not enough coffee grounds. We had to wait for drink refills, napkins and the check. Meh experience

    Ham and Eggs

    Think this is a very solid breakfast place Restaurant is sneaky big. So if yiu have kids, perfect diner to take them. It actually opens up when you walk in to a large restaurant. Its not too quiet and awkward Service was absolutely great with plenty of staff on even on a sunday morning. Menu has plenty of options. Food was very good. The toast had too much butter on it butt other than that, food was very good. Ill be back.

    I was hungry for a low cost breakfast and I had some time to kill. Yelp led me here, to Jefferson…read moreDiner. I sat at the counter behind Kelly, the woman who I suspect is the owner but was running that grill like a well oiled machine. She works on a 3 ft grill and to do that you have to be organized and fast. She was exactly that. The diner itself is old school, homey, the epitomy of comfort. Tin walls, pictures of family and staff scattered about, and a sign that says "We can't direct the wind, we can adjust the sails" words of wisdom. Regulars come in are greeted by name, and have their custom orders. You can see the lasting impact this place has had on the community. Before long, Kelly herself put my two eggs and sausage plate in front of me. She takes a lot of pride in her work and she should. The potatoes were seasoned well, a good mix of crunchy bits and softer pieces. The eggs were textbook over easy. Couldn't have asked for a better breakfast. I saw a few other items on their menu I want to try, and this diner is a convenient spot between where I live in Johnston and where I work in East Greenwich. I look forward to stopping in again and paying Kelly another visit.

We came in at about 11:10 am as they were probably at about 2/3 capacity the last hour before shutting down for their 2 week vacation period. It took some time to get our breakfast once the order was placed but not an unreasonable amount of time. Plus the atmosphere was relaxing. We sat at the counter as all the booths were full. And I have to admit, eating at the countertop was relaxing. I ordered the JD muffin which is a grilled English muffin with bacon and fried egg for ~$5.95. The outside of the muffin was soft compared to the crisp inside. It was deliciously tasteful with crispy grilled bacon and egg. Much more tasteful than those egg muffins that one can purchase elsewhere at those widespread coffee shops. My partner had a #7 with a side of bacon including 2 eggs scrambled, 2 bacon slices, home fries, 2 pieces of toast and 2 thick tasty plain pancakes of which I had one. I don't usually have plain pancakes but these were very tasty and fluffy. Both of our coffees, hot and iced, came with free refills. We wished the staff a great vacation and left, knowing that this is our new "goto" breakfast restaurant.

We stopped in over the weekend & had the pleasure of having Audra take care of us. I went with my usual omelette while he had an egg sandwich, both super tasty. The surprise stars? The baked beans & baked apple side The apples tasted just like warm apple pie filling straight from grandma's kitchen time machine. Needless to say we left full, happy, & carrying leftovers home like little victory trophies They serve breakfast all day everyday along with lunch & dinner plus some great specials that make your wallet breathe easy. also don't forget to try the grape nut pudding its to die for! #RhodeIslandEats #ProvidenceFoodie #BreakfastLovers #DinerFood #FoodieFinds

I got the biscuits and gravy's with eggs and home fries, tried their French toast and paired it with coffee milk. Everything was so tasty and I have so many leftovers! The really special part of my experience was the regulars. This spot has quite the following that comes in daily for breakfast (and sometimes for dinner too) and I loved chatting with many of them today, hearing about what they loved about UMD and also listening to what their go to orders were. This spot is not just a cute breakfast joint with amazing food---it's a gathering place for a really special community. I will certainly be back soon! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

The eggs were cooked perfectly with the yolk slowly oozing out. The hollandaise sauce and ham were tasty. The beans came out in a regular side portion, which was huge.

My friend had come here before and boasted about their portion sizes, and he was not wrong. I ordered the #10, Harriet's Humdinger, and it was packed with sweet and savory and was enough to easily serve two people. It had eggs (2), bacon (5 slices), toast (2), home fries, French toast (1), and pancakes (2). The eggs were cooked just how I wanted them, the bacon was cooked to the perfect crispiness and the most slices I have ever gotten at a breakfast place, the toast was a bit over toasted but Harriet's has been forgiven, and the home fries were delicious because of the flavor but also because of the different textures - soft, crunchy, slightly chewy. The French toast was simple but so good, and the pancakes were fluffy and massive. The inside is nice, and lots of natural light coming in. It was decorated with St. Patrick's Day stuff, I appreciated the small details. Our waitress was very attentive and charismatic and did a good job of coming around the perfect amount of times.
