Gel's is a great little neighborhood restaurant. They are located at the end of a strip mall, right near the road at the 'entrance/exit'. Parking is shared with several other businesses. There is no 'handicapped parking' specifically for Gel's due to the way the parking lot is designed. There is a small vestibule between the outside and the inside where you will find a community food pantry. Take something if you need it, or leave something for your neighbors. This is such a lovely offering and very much in line with Gel's local community mind set. The doors into the vestibule are heavy glass and metal. Seat yourself in one of the booths. When they remodeled they added a small bar to the back area if you prefer counter seating. They offer a variety of mimosa flavors at breakfast and beer and wine at lunch. Although I suppose if you want a beer with your eggs, have at it. The front and side walls have large windows making the interior bright. They offer so many specials. Check out all the white boards on the back wall above the counter seating. These are in addition to their standard menu. Breakfast items include egg based meals (eggs & bacon & toast for ex.), pancakes, hash and lots of al la carte sides. Coffee is good and comes with free refills. The lunch menu includes sandwiches, salads, soups, wraps and they have a kids menu too. They also offer Kino if you like. They sell Gel's merch (holiday gifts?) and decorate for all the holidays. read more

Gel's Kitchen - Patty melt - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Warwick, Rhode Island

Always super quick service and friendly staff and customers! It's a seat yourself restaurant with booth, table, and a couple bar seats as well. Me and my dad went on a Wednesday morning at 10am and there was no wait at all with plenty of open tables. I got a western omelette with home fries and wheat toast. My dad got a ham and cheese omelette with home fries and cinnamon raisin toast. We also got a side of home made corn beef hash. Everything was absolutely delicious. Only thing I didn't like was that the eggs seemed a bit oily and kind of spongy. Other than that, we've been here before and will definitely come again. read more

Heading to W Warwick and we always like to try new breakfast places on our adventures. Gel's reviews were great so we gave it a shot. Very busy for the hour but we were seated promptly. Food delivery was a bit slow as was coffee, staff seemed a bit distracted at the end of the shift. Food quality and value weee both good and everyone was very friendly. Clean and neat bathrooms. read more

Gels is a regular stop for us. We are locals so it's community. It's sitting at home. Food is always fresh, fries are the best on the planet, I'm a fries snob. They say it's because Gel changes the oil every week. Hash is homemade, A+, crepes, excellent. Huge order. Great prices. Also they support local community and have meals on the back of the menu in memory of local children with memorial funds. A portion of my dinner check goes their family fund. Everyone's always happy there. A true town staple. read more

My family of seven had a wonderful breakfast at Gels this morning! The coffee was so good, all the breakfast food was absolutely dee-licious and our waitress, Laurie who is the owners mom, was not only extremely nice but she was also a hoot!! She kept us in stitches during most of our meal! This is the only breakfast place, that I know of, where you can get free entertainment! We can't wait to go back again by spring!! On a 1-10 scale, we would give it a 10, hands down!! read more

Gel's Kitchen - My family spending our gift certificate that we were given as a Christmas gift, this past December! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Warwick, Rhode Island

My father, son, and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast here on Thursday. Leyden, our server made sure we were well taken care of. I commend this restaurant for their commitment to providing and offering healthy ingredients and to making as much of their food as possible homemade. What a difference it makes! I indulged in a tasty homemade banana bread masquerading as french toast. It was out of this world! I was very appreciative that they offered real maple syrup. I didn't mind paying the small upcharge. It was worth it! This homey diner style restaurant is well known for its philanthropic contributions to the surrounding community, proudly offering a food pantry in the entryway where customers can either donate or take what they need- no questions asked. It's little "extras" like that which make this restaurant stand out! read more

Gel's is a GREAT breakfast and lunch place, with great food and zero pretenses about itself. Right on the menu it says that they "believe in giving you the highest quality food at the best price," and they deliver, in a very busy, friendly, local diner-style atmosphere. This is the neighborhood place you wish you had in your neighborhood. They have 12 different egg special combinations, every breakfast option you could want, from omelettes to crepes, to pancakes, French toast (including home made bread and homemade banana bread options). Everything that can be made in-house is homemade, fresh and has great ingredients. There is also a constant group of breakfast, lunch or dessert specials that are almost always surprising, interesting, or completely tempting and always house made. Lunch is the same, with all the typical Diner favorites including great hot weiners (see my lunch below) and perfect (and I mean perfect) fries. They just know what they're doing here. And they do it in a friendly way despite how busy everyone is running around all day long due to the constant flow of patrons in and out. Prices are great as well. Three weiners all the way, fries and a soda that was filled two and a half times came $12 and change. A great deal. I didn't have any room for the wide selection of scratch, made desserts and dessert specials that are also available. Gel's is one of those places the locals love, but hope you never find out about it because you might take their regular table. It's a five-star joint for this type of restaurant and a four-star place for any kind of eatery. Try it and see. read more

This is absolutely one of the best breakfast spots I've been to. The food is always good and the service is always top notch. The owners are also heavily involved with giving back to the community ad doing a lot of great things. Definitely recommended! read more

Service was great. Food was average. Maybe served the thinnest omelette I've ever had at a diner. For a veggie omelette- it lacked any flavor. Would not go back. read more

Gels Kitchen is my favorite breakfast restaurant Gels makes the best homemade crepes I can't order them anywhere else because I know they can't compare to gels crepes The coffee is excellent The waitresses are friendly and efficient The hash browns are good I always received my food hot read more

Very clean, atmosphere is up beat, food was excellent our waitress Dani was very prompt , personable and friendly recommended the cheese blitzes with blueberries they were excellent read more

Came here this morning with one of my boys after a good night. We mostly went just because it was the closest breakfast spot around, but it really blew me away with the tastefulness and sheer speed of service. I just got a sausage egg and cheese with some potatoes on the side and even as simple as it sounds, it was delicious and definitely raised my diner standards for simple food. Hands down I'd come again, and although it was a little pricy, it was still comparable to other breakfast spots around. Gel's is diner food done right! read more

Homemade Corn beef hash in an omelette served hot with Swiss cheese and onions outstanding! The waitress made us out 5 gift certificates and was very efficient and speedy doing this while waiting on tables. We asked her is she wore her hats to make people laugh and she said yes but her main reason was to keep her hair up and not having to take the time it takes to get it in shape early in the morning. We never thought of that but it made sense. As usual we are always pleased with our visit. Previously we were there and the owner Gel actually delivered our meals to the table. Thanks for all you do. read more

Truly a hidden gem. The vintage decor is so fun, and the long list of mimosas is such a pleasant surprise. Our server was so helpful and even subbed out my toast for a slice of french toast to save me money, so I owe her my life and will definitely return. Jokes aside, I love a classic breakfast. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy, the hash was crispy, and the home fries were well seasoned. The hot weenie omelette was the cherry on top of an excellent experience. read more

It's been awhile since I've been to Gel's Kitchen, but too be honest, it was even better than I remember. Like it was omg incredible. Me and my brother went here for breakfast this morning and spent $50 on 3 dishes, two coffees and a bowl of oatmeal. Incredibly cheap!! When we got in there we were immediately greeted with a Halloween decor and fun environment. We were then told we could pick any clean table as there was no wait. The service was super quick and our waitress was incredibly friendly too. She was also very much on top of attending to our table. I don't know her name, but she has short, dirty blond hair. When we sat down, she immediately asked if we wanted anything to drink. So I got a hot coffee and a water and my brother got an iced coffee and a water. The menu is actually fairly large as they offer a wide variety of foods. Such as Crepes, Waffles, pancakes, French toast, eggs cooked in all different ways, a whole lunch section and much more! The possibilities are almost endless. So what did I get? Well, I got a Meat lovers omelet with home fries and a grilled English muffin. The omelet cake was chopped bacon, ham and sausage along with cheese. The omelet tasted incredible!! It has sooo much flavor and it was greasy and just delicious done in part by the meat fat/grease, lol. Then the home fries tasted incredible as well, and the English muffin was delicious too! Grilled to perfection. We also got an order of Gels homemade pumpkin bread French toast which again was SO GOOD! The pumpkin bread was moist, dense and so so flavorful. My brother got an Irish bene, which I tried and again was incredible and then her also got a small bowl of oatmeal. Overall, the service and food of Gel's Kitchen today was 100% incredible and I will be sure to come back here! It is by far one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time! read more

Great little family run restaurant, everyone is always friendly, the food is never a disappointment and they do a lot of good for the community. Breakfast is definitely a must because there are lots of options but I don't know if they do anything gluten-free or anything of the like. Be aware, if you don't get there early in the morning, like right around 8 AM or earlier, you're not getting a seat. There is only a very small foyer to weigh in and if it's cold, you're gonna be super chilly! This is one of our go-to places when we cannot decide where to go for breakfast. It's definitely in our top five townie restaurants!! read more

Stopped in on our way to northern thrift & we loved it. Hash is outta this world good and crepes were on point. Helpful, friendly staff. Ambiance was perfect diner, didn't get a chance to grab a short yet but I think we'll be back. Highly recommend! read more

Always fast service and tasty food. Love their breakfast and wiener Wednesday is a great value. Just make sure to try the cinnamon bun French toast!!! read more

Good size menu for either breakfast or lunch. Locally popular and draws a big crowd! Prices are very low! Service was a bit slow but it was a school holiday and it was crowded with many families with children (a good sign). The eggs Benedict were good, eggs were properly cooked, the ham was deli sliced, there was plenty of sauce, ( unfortunately canned) and the potatoes were also well prepared. Overall a good meal for a good price. read more

Gel's Kitchen - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Warwick, Rhode Island

Gel's is one of the best breakfast/lunch places you can go to. They offer a variety of options you may not get elsewhere, like the poached eggs on cornbread that I had... oh yes, beyond delicious! The team at Gel's not only make and serve great food but they consistently step up to help in the community. We prefer to support locally owned family restaurants over corporate chain ones and Gels is a perfect choice! read more

Cute little diner in a mall. Food was good. Waitress was fantastic! Wait to get food not so great.

A super great place! I have only had breakfast, here, so I cannot comment on their lunch menu. We had great, friendly, efficient service & our breakfast meals were delicious, fresh, well-prepared and nicely arranged on our plates. The coffee was delicious, as well! A very lively place, which shows it has many regular patrons. I highly recommend Gel read more

I'm not a breakfast person. Contrast that with my husband, who LIVES for breakfast, it's a challenge for us to find something that we both agree on for the first meal of the day. That said, the best breakfast thing I can think of is cheese blintzes...hubby even wrote me a song about how much I love cheese blintzes. That is the reason we were looking for blintzes and that is how we found Gels. When we arrived, I was immediately hit with a wall of underwhelm. The floor was sticky, the entire restaurant smelled like kitty litter, and the walls were covered in gaming activities and kitchy decor. It took them awhile to seat us, but our booth was similarly sticky and stinky to continue the theme of the restaurant. We tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, and looked at the menu. The first thing we ordered was the zucchini bread french toast, the cheese blintzes (of course) with a side of turkey bacon, and the Papa's poached. The french toast was mushy but a decent flavor, and the turkey bacon was super oily and slimy. The papa's poached was ok but not well seasoned, alongside very lackluster potatoes. Unfortunately the cheese blintzes were the worst thing, just a regular pancake dough and filled with flavorless cheese and served alongside pancake syrup (?!?!?). Service was extremely unfriendly and unhelpful, slow and sloppy. The floor was disgusting, and walking to the bathroom was slick and sticky at the same time. Prices were low but so was the quality of the product. I imagine the ones there were the local-est of locals, and have probably been going here for years if not decades. If however you have any standards, this is not going to do it for you, and it definitely didn't do it for us. We will not be returning, especially after the horrendous thing they did to their cheese blintzes. read more

Always a great service and the food is incredible. This is my go to for breakfast on my day off.

Good breakfast. Good selection. Friendly staff. Typically have to wait for a table, but not awful. They have mimosas also although never tried. Saw a pumpkin pie mimosa on the menu this last visit - I can't imagine, but to each his own . read more

I've lived in Rhode Island for a couple of years and have been aware of Gel's kitchen, mainly because of her charitable work... Especially for offering to pay for Warwick students who couldn't afford a hot lunch and raising funds/awareness for local communities.... But I never had the chance to try them out. Today, on a whim, I went to the West Warwick location (Sunday 12:15pm) The parking lot was packed, so I didn't think we would get in. Then I saw the place was run mainly by teenagers so, my expectations were low..... But to my surprise, we were greeted right away, seated, soon after my mimosa and coffee was on its way. Waitress was friendly and understanding and regards to my moody eleven year old. My daughter got a blueberry crepe with bacon, and I got the irish benedict.... The food and service was fantastic. We gobbled it down so fast I forgot to take a picture, but trust me, it was good! read more

rude and dismissive staff. Low rent diner atmosphere. unimpressive menu, even less impressive preparation. Not a fan.

This location is terrible! The food I had received with a friend was cold. The waitress was rude, and rushed us the whole time, also forgot an item we ordered. The place was overall clean, but I will never go back to this location. read more

Best breakfast place in West Warwick. The owner is so kind and you can taste the love of cooking/ baking in every dish that you order. The staff is amazing as well. I recommend the corned beef hash, the crepes, and the mimosas- the kids love the platter because of the variety! read more

Too hungry forgot to take pictures. The mimosas here are incredible. They have numerous flavors and they give you a very generous pour for 8 bucks. The prices here are very reasonable. Eggs were cooked perfectly, tasted really fresh. The home fries were also cooked and seasoned perfectly. The bacon was the best part, thick and crunchy, just absolutely very bacony !!!!!!! My wife had the meat lovers omelette. I have never seen an omelette cooked so perfectly . There were no brown spots at all and it was absolutely delicious. Best of all the service was amazing. Highly recommend and I will go back ! read more

Gel's has excellent breakfasts and my go-to is their corned beef hash. However, today, my first visit in a few months, I was dismayed that they changed the recipe for the hash. Rather than the fresh corned beef chopped and mixed with potato, they served shredded corn beef that was over cooked and mixed with bacon. Disappointed. read more

Gels is a local business that my family frequents for breakfast. This morning we were served by Jessica. She was super sweet! She offered to grab us extra whipped cream and there was one order that the kitchen added strawberries to by mistake and she offered before handing us the dish to bring it back and fix it. The crepes that I got were cooked perfectly- golden brown soft with a bit of a crunch to them and the strawberries used were fresh!! My mom and grandpa played keno while we ate as well- not too much luck in the winning department though. I loved seeing the paper straws. This isn't something that I was expecting to see at a locally owned business and I was quite happy seeing that they are taking steps to reduce plastic waste!! There was also a little food pantry in the lobby area of Gels with a sign that if families are having a tough time that they can take some food items to prepare food at home. I thought that was sweet and so caring. Next time I come I will definitely be donating some items to the shelves to help gels with their cause! As a yelp member we received 10% off of our bill for checking into gels! As regulars though Emmy family will for sure be coming back!!! read more

Anytime that I'm back in RI I make a point to get breakfast at Gel's. Comfortable, old style family diner. Excellent food and service every time. Highly Recommended read more

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. We'll be back! Oh, and the pies are out of this world! The meat pie freezes beautifully.

When you walk in there's a community pantry and that's amazing love that, we even saw multiple people pull up to make donations and that's lovely to see. We were sat fast, the tables are really close together and doesn't seem large group friendly. They took our order timely although when I received the food it was sub par. I got corn beef hash and eggs with home fries and everything tasted fishy. I probably wouldn't go back as the food didn't make any great impression and that's like the only thing that matters when going to a restaurant. But love what they're doing for the community with the pantry for those in need. read more

There's no shortage of good diner options in the area, and in RI in general. But this place might be the best. My checklist for a good diner is 1) good homefries with onions 2) good omelettes 3) good sides/meat alternatives and 4) a good blueberry pancake. This place has all of it. Checks all my boxes, plus friendly service and reasonable prices. I went for the first time less than two months ago and I've already been 4 times. read more
