Although the parking lot was busy, there were still plenty of tables available inside. There is a larger dining area in the back, but we stayed in one of the booths in the area where you first walk in. It gives old school diner vibes with the red stools, yellow/tan booths, aluminum accents, and small tile floor. The menu is comprehensive as it offers breakfast and lunch, and both sweet and savory options. My friend and I both ordered the steak and eggs ($16.99 each) but I ordered my steak medium (anticipating for it to be cooked a little heavier than medium), with scrambled eggs and cheese on top, with a grilled English muffin. The food came out after about 10-15 minutes. They did have about 4 options of hot sauces we could choose from including Frank's, Tabasco, Cholula, and Sriracha - but the only right answer is Sriracha followed by Cholula. The steak was tasty and cooked exactly how I wanted it to, with a gentle sear. The home fries were delicious as they were soft, but also had bits of fried onions to enhance the flavor. The English muffin was golden, crispy, and slightly buttery. The eggs were very fluffy and the white cheese was completely melted into them which was great. The service was good, where we got everything in a timely manner, but we didn't feel rushed or overwhelmed with questions regarding our experience.

And the dipping sauce on the side is also delicious. Next we ordered the quiche. Now, eggs are totally a matter of preference so take my review with a grain of salt, but this quiche was not for me.

Warm, buttery, a little crispy and a syrup with just the right amount of sweetness. The servers were also so nice, giving me suggestions when I asked. I'd return for both the pancakes and the hashbrowns.

Several months ago we found Shannon's and we've been going regularly ever since for Sunday…read morebreakfast. I'm sure that many other reviews have already told you how good the breakfasts are and what a good value they are as well. But today I stopped in for lunch with a friend and I decided to go for a lunch plate. For one thing, they have a great selection of plates compared to other diners. At least a dozen choices. I went for the classic diner meatloaf which I consider to be as good a measure of a homestyle restaurant as you can get. Well, let me tell you, it was a treat! A huge portion of nice classic meatloaf with no wierd surprises... just good dense and meaty goodness made even better by spending a little time geting burned on the griddle. The huge blob of homemade potatoes also got a little griddle time leaving some pleasing burnt spots here and there. And the broccoli, which they prepare chopped and seasoned was fresh and retained a nice al dente crunch (not bland and boiled to within an inch of it's life like you usually get). The brown gravy was rich and generously slathered and loaded with fresh mushrooms. Honestly, I can't say that I've ever had better. With cooking like that, I'll bet that Shannon's hubby is rocking a pretty impressive gut! I've got a pretty good appetite but there was no way I could finish this portion. I packed up a third but seriously, I should have packed half or more. And the price... under $8 as I recall (and that was pretty much the most expensive thing they offered). Place is cozy and cute. Kept pretty clean... even the bathroom. And the wait staff is pleasant and attentive. I'm going to declare Shannon's an (un)official Pawtucket "Hidden Gem" (and if you read my other reviews you'll see that I'm usually a tough grader). Go there and I bet you will too. I'll be back for sure. Now I have to try the rest of the lunch plates!

El Paso Restaurant absolutely exceeded expectations. From the moment the chips and salsa hit the table, I knew this place was different. The salsa was honestly unlike anything I've ever tasted. It was Tomato forward in a good way; fresh, flavorful, perfectly balanced, and addicting. My wife and ate the whole basket of chips and salsa and that's something we never do! Most places treat salsa like an afterthought, but El Paso made it feel like part of the main experience. My wife ordered the Fajitas Mixtos with chicken and shrimp, and the presentation alone had everyone turning their heads. Everything came out sizzling hot, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The shrimp were juicy, the chicken had great char and flavor, and even the vegetables were fresh and vibrant. I had the Burrito Al Pastor, and it was incredible. Packed with flavor, tender meat, and made with care from the first bite to the last. What really stood out to me was something a lot of Mexican restaurants miss which is the rice and beans were actually seasoned. You could tell attention was paid to every part of the plate, not just the main dish. The food, service, and overall atmosphere made this one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while. If you're debating whether to try El Paso Restaurant, do yourself a favor and go hungry. We'll definitely be back. read more

But we wanted to see if we could find something closer and that could maybe satisfy our taco cravings. We came around 3 so it was just winding down the lunch crowd. We had 2 orders of steak tacos, an order of calamari, and I ordered the chicken mole. The steak tacos come with 4. We asked for some spicy hot sauce and they brought us some house made stuff. Hot. Fantastic flavor. The chicken mole was a thin cutlet of chicken breast. I was a bit bummed because I usually get it with bone in thighs or legs. Buuut the cutlet was super tender. The molé sauce was amazing. Best molé I've had yet. Had a bit of a kick to it The calamari app was in the top 5% of all the calamari apps we've ever tried. Will definitely get them again if I'm here. I liked the interior decorations and this place had ample private parking.

BF and I got a couple margs and waited outside. 40 mins goes by so I go in and check. They say it'll be another 20ish mins. 30 mins goes by and they say another 30 mins. Pretty hangry at this point. Again, I get its cinco de mayo. We finally get seated more than an hour and a half later. We order the guac and tortilla chips as an app. Guac wasn't bad. Chips were stale like they were out all day of cinco de mayo. My BF orders steak tacos as his entree. I order the Cochinita Pibil. "Slow cooked pork in achiote. Served with rice, beans and tortillas". We finally get that 30 mins later. His tacos were subpar to say the most. Quote "I wouldn't get tacos here again". My dish was the BLANDEST meal I've ever had in my life. It tasted like nothing. I was visibly upset when the waitress finally walked by 15 mins later and told her I couldn't eat it. She asked if I wanted something else so I told her I'd just have the steak tacos because I was starving at this point. She then asked if I wanted a box for the entree I originally ordered and I said no because it didn't taste good at all and neither of us would eat it. She began to walk away and I politely asked if she would still charge me for the cochinita pibil and she said yes so I told her I wouldn't want anything else and to just give us the check once my bf was done with his meal. She didn't pay attention to me the rest of the time we were there. She did end up charging us for that bland plate. Pretty sad. I regret not asking to talk to someone because I guarantee no one in that kitchen would have enjoyed it either, as they were all Hispanic from what I could tell. I myself am Central American so I know authentic dishes. Sad to say I will not be going back there. Good luck!

My cousin waited another 30 minutes for her second drink while the next bartender continued serving other customers. She eventually had to ask the hostess for help getting his attention. Once we finally received our drinks, I requested the check. About 10 minutes after our cards were run, a man named Pablo, whom was identified to be the manager, whom provided poor customer service, brought our receipts. He placed them in front of us while continuing his conversation with other customers, without acknowledging us or asking about our experience. When we explained our concerns, he became defensive, dismissed them as "our perception," and did not give us an opportunity to finish speaking. He walked away and repeatedly returned to ask whether we wanted something, in a tone we found rude and confrontational. Even the customer beside us noticed and encouraged him to simply apologize. His response was, "I am not saying sorry." He ultimately asked us to leave before we had finished even half of our drinks. Despite the poor service, I still left an 18% tip. I cannot speak to anyone's intentions, but we left feeling singled out, dismissed, and unwelcome. We never disrespected him, only expressed our dissatisfaction and then asked to leave. A respectful response to our concerns could have made a difference. Instead, the way the situation was handled made an already disappointing experience worse. I will not be returning.
