I was hungry for a low cost breakfast and I had some time to kill. Yelp led me here, to Jefferson Diner. 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. read more

My wife and I have enjoyed our second visit in a month to our new favorite breakfast place! Staff is very friendly. They were all wearing Jefferson Diner t-shirts of different colors. 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. read more

Fresh meals in generous servings. Classic diner meals served to order in clean, fresh environment. Servers have a cool, slightly edgy vibe.

Nice little diner. We went for a late breakfast but by the time we arrived it was lunch time! Luckily I could still get breakfast while my SO got lunch. Win-win. Seat yourself at the counter or in one of the 6 booths. Daily specials are posted both ends of the counter. Menus are on the table. A waitress came right over with napkins and flatware and took a drink order. Coffee, tea, soda, water, etc. Half & half is on the table along with salt & pepper. Breakfast includes omlettes, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches and egg breakfasts. I chose the #6 eggs with corned beef hash, breakfast potatoes and toast. I asked if the hash was house made and told yes. Based on my experience with canned corned beef, I'm thinking their 'Helen's heavenly hash' is very similar. The eggs were cooked very well. The potatoes tasty. Toast comes buttered. There are plenty of sandwich options on the lunch menu with or without fries. My SO chose a fully loaded Philly cheese steak. It's a good size sandwich and I am told it's tasty. The fries are crispy outside, fluffy inside. Everything was served nice and hot. Our server was new and she did a good job. A small ladies room is inside at the end of the counter while a men's room is outside. Feels like a diner this small could have two unisex restrooms instead of making customers go outside in the cold. Plenty of parking in their private lot. As with all true diners I've been to, the entrance is a couple steps up. read more

A small diner, maybe flying below the radar, but it was excellent. We were visiting on a vacation swing to Boston and decided to get real breakfast instead of the industrial stuff at the Holiday Inn. All the ladies working hard at the counter, tables and the grill were extremely nice, chatting with the regulars, and the food was great. Go see these folks and enjoy, like we did! read more

Jefferson Boulevard Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

This the cutest little place, with a friendly staff , good food and good prices. A small place with both both counter and booth seating I've gone by it a trillion times but never stopped in. I think this like a Cheers because the staff seemed to know some patrons by name. I like that. I ordered a cup of coffee and an egg sausage and cheese sandwich on a buttery, crispy English muffin. With each bite, there was crunchiness. I was truly in heaven. Like Arnold, I'll be back.( Just not w anger but happiness.) read more

Egg sandwich how an egg sandwich should be! Hot, cheesy, bacon, yummy. Personally I like my English muffin toasted rather than grilled - gotta save calories somewhere - but that's a personal preference. Scarfed that thing down in the car as I was running errands. But golly, going to make it a point to come back. Service was incredibly nice as well. Love the counter seating but there are a few small booths as well. read more

If you crave an Authentic American Diner, this is it! This family owned diner has been in business keeping people happy and well fed for 56 years. We always see people who we know, it is a local favorite! Always a great vibe! Great service! Delicious coffee! You can't leave without trying at least one or both of Jefferson Diner's customer favorites, the best Cornbread you will ever taste, and their one and only dessert, Kellie's "World Famous" Grape Nut Pudding! read more

Sadly, not good I love old diners but the food has to be good. There is no use going to the greasy spoon, if the spoon is dirty. The staff is friendly and hard working. I ordered a simple eggs and bacon breakfast and my wife ordered an omelette. Dry eggs, bacon cooked until it almost turned to dust, and raw toast. To be honest, it's one of the weakest breakfasts I've had in a while. They still have Sweet and Low, not sure why? Pass Thanks read more

This was my second time here and I have grown completely enamored with this place. Found out today that it is woman owed and was started by the woman's (who usually works the grill) mother 53 years ago. Great casual place with friendly waitresses. If you are in the area, check it out! read more

Jefferson Boulevard Diner - a nice hot coffee!! delicious - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Small old diner, but clean and well maintained. 6 booths and about a dozen stools at the counter. Menu is small with the basic breakfast choices. (They also serve lunch) Nothing fancy, no benedicts, no wraps, no egg sandwiches, no waffles. Service was quick and friendly and prices were a bit lower than other comparable diners in the area. The food was quite tasty and well prepared. Very serviceable diner if you are in the area. read more

Jefferson Boulevard Diner - the front of the restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

My husband and I have been sales reps for over 30 years and travel for both work and our son's ice hockey across the US. We are always looking for small mom and pop restaurants to support and were excited to find Jefferson Diner. It's a small building with limited booths and counter seating but old school and quaint. We sat at the counter and were happy we did. Kelly, the original owners daughter was cooking and her staff was great. It's traditional diner food and our meal was great. Served hot right off the grill in front of us and the staff could not have been friendlier. Will definitely go back anytime we are in Providence! read more

Stopped in to the Jefferson Diner in Warwick on a cold wet rainy icy miserable day. Son2 had a flat and while we waited for AAA we indulged at a fine example of a classic diner. Breakfast for Son2 the 2 egg home fries toast special. Solid. got the job done under $5. Coffee? Check. I went with two grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato and bacon plus a cup of their corn chowder. Perfect bad weather combo. Food was hot and very tasty. Several diners were having the shepherd's pie and i was very tempted to pull a classic fat guy and order it to go (it looked THAT good) but i resisted. Next time. Cant go wrong here stop in. read more

I was staying at La Quinta Hotel at the top of Jefferson Blvd and was looking for a place to pick up food. I looked here on Yelp for recommendations and saw that I could walk to the diner in 15 minutes. Fortunately, I had missed the breakfast rush so I was able to get immediate attention. I ordered corned beef hash (crispy), home fries and scrambled eggs. The entire staff was so welcoming and so friendly (I met Jay, Chuck (ask to see his tattoo of Chucky) and Jenny, who insisted on driving me back to the hotel because they didn't want me walking back! I have never had customer service of this caliber - ever!!! The food was delicious and I'll never forget the service. read more

The cornbread is a must order. The staff are amazingly friendly. It was a random stop for me and I was treated as a regular.

Local place that had that vibe you know it's gonna be good! Small inside, but they make the space work! I had the hash special and just the right seasoning and consistency. They had a problem with their credit card machine while I was there, and handled the situation with humor and security as well! read more

Today I had an outstanding experience here! I was traveling on business and when I got up and ready in my hotel this morning, the restaurant was already closed. I looked on Yelp for a good place for breakfast and found this diner. When I walked in, the whole staff and patrons were singing Happy Birthday to a guest. I could tell immediately that I was in the right place. I was greeted with "sit anywhere you'd like". Dining alone, I sat in a booth and was immediately taken care of. I ordered coffee and an omelette (delicious!). I pulled out my laptop and began to work. Time got away from me and before I knew it I was there for a few hours. I was continuously being refilled with coffee and impeccable service. I paid my bill and left a generous tip. Still, in continued to work. After a while, what I think was the owner, came up to me and politely asked if I would give up the booth to turn the table for the staff. I immediately realized how much time I had been there and without question agreed. I moved to the counter where I continued to finish my work. I was blown away by how the place continued to pack them in and stayed busy on a Tuesday in between breakfast and lunch hours. This place is a gem of an establishment. The staff clearly cares about their patrons and local customers. I had to leave an additional gratuity just for taking up a seat at the counter for a while. These gals bust their a$$ and didn't stop the whole time I was there. When back in town, I will absolutely come back...and try not to take too long in booth. Get your local breakfast here. It's absolutely worth it! read more
