    Corned Beef Hash omelette
    Rob P.

    Great little spot one block off the strip. The pancakes were just ok but everything else was phenomenal. A cozy old tyme coffee shop atmosphere with good service & BIG portions! Looks like the spot the locals like to go to, when I'm back in Newport I'll definitely revisit this place.

    Old fashioned authentic diner, delicious breakfast. Two eggs, home fries, toast and bacon...sat in a booth so all perfect. Two of us started and three friends joined in and the waiter just kept coming back to take orders and delivered with a smile. Delicious bacon! Diner vibe, nothing fancy but just what we were looking for.

    Blueberry stuffed French toast
    Allysen E.

    We stumbled upon this place from our hotel and had the BEST breakfast. The staff was incredibly kind and service was awesome. I had the country inn Benedict and we all split the blueberry stuffed French toast, both were favorites of Franklin Spa and did not disappoint!

    So fluffy!

    Delicious breakfast specifically the fluffy pancakes. Nothing fancy which breakfast shouldn't always have to be. Don't miss out on the oatmeal and the hot honey biscuit!

    Country Inn Benedict

    Love the vibe of this place! Chill reggae music, nice waitress with pretty pink and white pockadot nails and good home cooking food. I got the Country Inn Benedict and I devoured it! Place for locals and beyond!

    Saw a big line waiting outside this place which caused me to ask the people if they'd eaten here before. Locals had great things to say so we tried it. The place is cute, relaxed and immaculately clean. Five or six men work as a team while one young woman handles all of the cooking. They seemed like a group of best friends. Everyone was happy and super attentive. I did not see stuffed French toast on the menu but ordered the regular French toast and it was very filling. Bacon was perfect. Fresh squeezed Oj was delicious. A modified breakfast sandwich was no issue for them and it tasted great. Liked their staff t-shirts. Yelp says they are closed today but we are there today so don't trust the hours posted on the Internet. We'd definitely go back again.

    Bacon egg and cheese bagel
    Nan T.

    Very old school and off the beaten path. Recommended by my Airbnb host. Ordered the bacon egg and cheese on a bagel with a side of fruit. Sandwich was also supposed to come with potatoes/home fries, but I was given a burnt, stale hash brown instead. Sandwich was great, fruit was substantial for a side, and coffee was good too. Service was fine. Also I paid with a debit card without any issue, based on previous reviews looks like this may be a new thing! It's a simple, no frills diner that hits the spot. I'd come back.

    Yummy sandwich

    The food is amazing, with the chocolate croissants being extremely good, staff nice too

    a plate of pancakes with bananas and raisins
    Ruby D.

    We have been coming here for years. The food is always amazing, pancakes are extremely fluffy. I highly recommend the stuffed French toast, I got it with extra whipped cream. Service was very attentive, they came around asking if we wanted coffee around five times. We love this place.

    Western omelette
    Stephen V.

    Nice lil breakfast place. Has an old sign out front. Decent breakfast. Coffee was a tad weak Waitress was pleasant and attentive. Western omelette was ok. I've had better. Hash also ok.

    We love a good diner and this place hits the spot. Ambience is lovely, food is delicious, staff is friendly. They have some healthier options as well. Worth the hype.

The interior is decorated with a pretty white-and-blue motif that is definitely fitting. It's small, and not usually crowded so we typically can choose where to sit. It's become our favorite spot to go on the weekends, over places like Atlantic grill or aquidneck pizza. It's just so much cozier, and it's women-owned, which I will always support! The food is delicious. The spanakopita is my favorite, its fluffy and perfectly cheesy while not being dense or greasy. The greek yogurt is so creamy and delicious, the bacon is both crunchy and juicy at the same time. My bf loves to get the different wraps because he tends to like a large breakfast. They have lots of options for breakfast and lunch. I also love the vanilla iced latte, I think they put some ice cream in it. It tastes amazing. If you're wondering about YiaYia's cafe, definitely come try it. I feel like lots of people think it's only for those staying at the Sea Breeze Inn, or haven't been for whatever reason. I hope everyone has the chance to come here, local or tourist!

    Atlantic Grille is one of my favorite breakfast spots, and can be considered a somewhat "hidden…read moregem" due to the fact that it's not located right smack in Downtown Newport. Don't be afraid- it's just a short drive (10 minutes or so), and the Grille does have onsite parking. Even if there's a wait, don't let it deter you. The home cooked breakfast grub is truly worth it, and they turn tables pretty quickly, so you shouldn't be waiting for too long before you can sit in a comfy booth and dig into fluffy pancakes, perfect omelettes, and the best hash brown potatoes ever! The inside of the restaurant is casual, with surf inspired decor, chalkboards listing daily specials, and a full service bar with TVs broadcasting the latest game. Atlantic Grille is family friendly, so if you are looking for a chic girls brunch spot or something quiet and reserved, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are looking for classic breakfast fare at a good price in a fun and convivial environment, this is the place to go. I love the Western Omelette with gooey cheese, crisp ham and fresh veggies, or the Eggs Benedict, which features perfectly poached eggs (kudos to the kitchen for nailing this every time). I also enjoy the fresh fruit bowl (nothing canned or sketchy), and we always have to get a Buttermilk Pancake as an appetizer (this is the "bread course!") This is a great family owned spot you'll want to add to your Aquidneck Island adventures- especially if you want to feel like a local!

While waiting for our table, we grabbed drinks from the bar down by the water and took in the beautiful scenery. Our seating was delayed due to another party overstaying their table, but the hostesses kept us informed and even offered a complimentary champagne toast to make up for the wait--such a nice touch. We ordered a wide variety of dishes: crudité to start, followed by the lobster roll (both hot and cold), fish tacos, burrata LT, steak, and pasta. We loved every single bite. Multiple people in our group said the burrata LT was one of the best sandwiches they've ever had.The only miss was the lobster bisque special--it wasn't cream-based as we expected, so it wasn't to our taste. We finished with the basque cheesecake and keylime pie, both amazing. That said, this place is an absolute can't-miss when in Newport. We're so glad we chose to stay for a full meal instead of just stopping by for drinks.

    Johnny's is located within the Wyndham Hotel in Middletown RI…read more My wife and I often stay here as the hotel is excellent, however this review relates to Johnny's. As noted above we have eaten here in the past. We have dined with large as well as small groups and have always been pleased. The place is beautiful, especially in the summer. The outdoor patio bar boasts a great view of Green End Pond. A great place to grab a drink and an appetizer. We started out on the patio and returned later for dinner. Based on our sub par experience the night before (see prior review) I was committed to having a great meal. We were not disappointed. I started with the clam chowder. Delicious. Flavorful and loaded with clams. My wife opted for the lobster bisque In an effort to negate the lousy lobster bisque she had on the previous night. Mission accomplished. She described it as buttery and creamy. Essentially the perfect bisque flavor. Contained within the bisque was a tremendous chunk of delicious lobster meat . For dinner, I chose the baked stuffed shrimp. It was delicious. Cooked to perfection with delicious stuffing, rice, pilaf, and broccoli. My only complaint is that I believe there should be more than 4 shrimp at this price. My wife selected the Pasta Bolognese. A dish that she has had and several other restaurants in several states and she ranked this right at the top of the list. Plenty of beef and pork combined with a tasty Italian sauce. When in the Newport area I suggest you skip the over hyped restaurants and head to Johnny's for a delicious meal with great atmosphere.

    We just had another fabulous dinner at Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant--our second time dining here…read moresince last fall, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We arrived a little early for our 4:00 p.m. reservation, and the place was already packed. While we waited by the bar, a very nice waitress took our drink order--a lemon drop martini, beautifully crafted, well-balanced, and pleasantly strong. We were seated shortly after and, of course, ordered another. (Both times, I took several sips before remembering to take a photo!) Our waitress, Mikela, was truly lovely--sincere, sweet, and very courteous. She was attentive throughout the meal without ever being intrusive, which made the experience feel relaxed and effortless. At the end, I told her I wished I could give her 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. For dinner, we both ordered the seared rare ahi tuna steak. I had mine with garlic bread, while my husband chose mashed potatoes. I also added the $9.95 salad buffet, which is such a great deal--you definitely won't leave hungry. I especially love their buffet-style salad bar, which offers nearly every option one could want. Both of our ahi tuna steaks were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.
