Got takeout from here tonight and was so impressed! Total came out to $50 for two entrees, which includes a soup/salad and in the case of chicken francese, both potato and vegetable. My chicken broccoli alfredo came with two small pieces of garlic bread which were delicious, but I have to say specifically that the chicken broccoli alfredo was sooo good! And there was so much of it that I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The portions were so plentiful and affordable. We got takeout but service was good and our order was ready in 25 or so minutes from when we called. The inside has a hometown feel, almost like Luke's from Gilmore Girls in that sense. Definitely recommend stopping by or grabbing takeout-- convenient stop right off of Metacom Ave. read more

The foods always good, but sometimes the service is extremely slow. We stood waiting to be acknowledged at the front for nearly 20 minutes before anyone even said "hi how many?" We were the only ones in line for 15 of the minutes. We were seated at our table and not acknowledged by anyone for another almost 20 minutes. The people that were sat right after us already had drinks by the time we were asked what we wanted, while we sat there waiting. *further update, they have their food and we still don't have our drinks* Overall, every time I've come here the foods always been fine. Even when not busy, the service does seem to be on the very slow side and unfortunately it is noticeable. read more

We have eaten here a few times and have always been happy with the food. The ambiance is nice and the inside was clean. Staff was friendly as well. Our food was good but seemed to take a little longer than we expected. read more

The waitresses rarely have a smile. There are a few that do, but then there are a few that don't. The food is not as good as it used to be. Maybe they changed cooks I don't know. But I know the last few times the food has not agreed with me and gave me stomach upset so I have not eaten here since and that was a month ago. read more

Waitstaff was cold and smileless. Nobody looked like they wanted to be there. my wife is Celiac and needs gluten free food. Our waitress was told of this and did not seem to care. Ordered an omelette and gluten free toast. well wouldn't you know,my wife became sick and was vomitting most of the afternoon. Upon calling the restaurant, they apologized and said" geez , I wonder how that happened ". Not sure who answered the phone but a future In motivational speaking is not in her future. read more

Mediocre at best. Older waitress with glasses was clueless, inattentive, and slow. Tried multiple times to get her attention for coffee refill, but she looked down and ignored all tables as she walked past them. I even had to get my own syrup of the the center counter divider (Should just leave them on the table- it is breakfast time). After bringing our food out and forgetting a plate each time, she never came back to check on us until she brought the bill. Now let's talk food: Pancakes were actually pretty good and thick - it ends there. Both of us ordered shredded hash browns and it looked like they split one serving to make two; barely browned and flatter than my eggs. Speaking of eggs, I ordered over medium - they came out way overcooked with no runny yolk. I could see three people in the kitchen, one bearded guy looked clueless every time his face was in the pickup window. It was a Sunday morning, but it was not busy. read more

Lauren's Restaurant - Small dining area, bar seating on other side. Outdoor seating available too. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Warren, Rhode Island

Came to Lauren's as a party of 3 for brunch. The restaurant was pretty busy but the entire time we failed to see servers out and about. They came around the tables in spurts, maybe every 15 minutes or so. Everything seemed to take forever, like waiting to order, then the food, then the check. A quick brunch ended up almost a 2 hour ordeal. One time our server came over to ask how everything was, which was great as we were waiting for her to come by. We actually had a request but the server came over as we were eating (mouths full of food). She said "How is everything? Good?" and before we could actually say anything she walked away. The food is not that great. I ordered poached eggs and they were barely cooked and came in this dish with vinegar water in it. In the end I was left with a barely-cooked vinegar-egg soup. I got toast which was absolutely slathered in butter (I actually think it may have been margarine) that was only half melted, making the toast greasy. The homefries were okay, but very over seasoned and extremely salty. In the end I was left with a big stomach ache. Everyone else got pancakes and sides which looked pretty good, large serving size for the pancakes. They are generous with the blueberries in the pancakes. The oatmeal looked ok but arrives plain so you may want to order fruit, honey etc to put in it. The bacon looked a little undercooked, which I understand preferences vary there and some people prefer it "al-dente". Kind of understand this is supposed to be diner-style food, so the service is really what merits the rating here. Would give the food 3-3.5 stars given what it is. read more

What a Horrible Disgusting Restaurant Don't even bother.....over Priced for crap food and if you say something, they don't care If you try to make a Review on their Facebook Page they Block You I was yelled at by a Server and the Manager said that wasn't what I ordered Really? I ordered Ham? Funny because I hate ham and think it's nasty. So why would I order it?? Trust Me......STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!!!! DISGUSTING THE WAY THEY TREAT CUSTOMERS!!!! Crossroads and Square Peg blow these Losers out of the Water!!!!!! read more

My first time trying Lauren's. I ordered with Grub Hub and had it delivered to Bristol. Arrived hot and the food is very flavorful. Grilled chicken meal with corn, mashed potatoes, and a garden salad. Even the fountain coke arrived in good shape. I will be ordering from here again! read more

Lauren's Restaurant - Grilled chicken meal with corn, mashed potatoes, and garden salad. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Warren, Rhode Island

Go there often but I have ONE complaint. There is 1 waitress who is so rude She treats like we are invisible. She's friendly to people at bar but barely speaks to us. It's like "what do u want?" Then drops food that here is ur check. Very uncomfortable. We purposely avoid her section All others are friendly. Weird Food is good read more

If I could I would write a -1 star. Who wants to eat food that is bad. Ok here I go. I use to go here about 2 or 3 years ago and it was good. What happened. The food was burnet the soup was lukewarm. Had the fish and you could tell it was old. The fries well if you call them that. The clam cakes were overcooked and bland. Never go back. Stay away from read more

Food is ok. What gives this place one star is how unfriendly our waitress has been and for some reason we get her every time. Only been here twice and it will be our last. read more

I went with my wife for breakfast. The menu showed oatmeal $3.50, and that was exactly what I wanted. When the check came I noticed that the price was $4.50, so I pointed out to the server the discrepancy. She said she doesn't enter the price in the computer, just what was ordered. I asked her to verify that the menu said $3.50. She went away and when she returned her explanation was that a cup of oatmeal is $3.50 and a bowl of oatmeal is $4.50. The menu only showed oatmeal for $3.50; Lauren's got that extra dollar from me, but the experience left such a bad taste that I won't be going back. read more

We stopped in for a late breakfast on Saturday. There was a decent amount of people for being almost 11am. There was no wait. We ordered an omelet, and a Belgium waffle. The omelet was a good size and well cooked. The waffle, while tasty, was cold and on the smaller size. Service was good. It was OK enough that I would go back, but we have had better breakfasts. read more

So after I heard Lauren's had changed ownership, and a few friends could not stop raving about their breakfast, I figured, let's give this place another shot. So first time we came on a Saturday morning for breakfast and I ordered the sweet bread french toast..hubba hubba they were delish! Like get in mah belly quick!! Our waitress was very nice, kept the coffee mug full and was very attentive. I've been 2 more times since then and I have ordered the blueberry pancakes (as suggested by a co-worker) and my oh my so guuuuud! Seems to be this is a can't miss spot for breakfast. 1 piece of advice though. If you can manage to get out of bed early on the weekend if you plan on coming here do so. Once that 8:00 am time hits, this place is jammin and and you will more than likely have to wait to be seated. read more

I happened to find this place accidentally because its not that easy to spot being that its in a plaza. In spite of having a bar which is part of the dining room, I found the restaurant to be cozy, and comfortable. We had an older woman for a waitress and she was great. She cleared dishes when they were used and refilled sodas without having to ask for a refill. Everything was clean and neat inside the restaurant. The hostess seated us promptly. I'd like to try the breakfast sometime in the future. I had the Shepard's pie and a salad and my friend had a cheeseburger with a side of clam cakes. Everything came out just right. The space between getting seated and getting our drinks and different courses was also timed just right. The prices were very reasonable. Two sodas, an order of clam cakes, salad, Shepard's pie, Cheeseburger and fries including tax was only 31.00. We both liked it and will be going back. read more

Staff is miserable. "Please Wait to Be Seated" but they look at you and walk by. Chose bar seats instead. Waited 15 minutes, no service so we left. The restaurant never looks clean and the food is fair at best. Time for another breakfast spot read more

I can't speak to the quality of the food, but I can report on the poor service. I was in here today about 1 pm, and ordered a sandwich and onion rings. I decided to leave after waiting 40 minutes with no food and no status from the waitress. The waitress couldn't have cared less and didn't even bother to explain what caused the delay. FYI, after leaving here still hungry I went to KCs Burger bar in Seekonk, ordered the exact same thing, and had my food in 15 minutes. read more

This is my 1st review and I'm 77. I HAD to. Unfortunately, I read the Yelp reviews after we went to Laurens today. We must've had the same notorious waitress so many flagged for her abysmal rudeness. When I asked for refill of coffee, she barked at me, "I'll get to it!" Ordered a Belgian waffle and I swear syrup was watered down (color off and flowed thin). Restroom has never been updated or cleaned? Ugh! We will never go there again. read more

Went to Lauren's on a Tuesday, so only breakfast served. Food was okay, but service was terrible. I was never offered a refill on my drink, took a long time to order and then get our food, and had to ask two times for our check. One server was sitting at a table eating and another was talking instead of checking on tables. There are too many great places to go eat in Warren that I doubt I will go back to Lauren's. read more

This place is pretty average at best. My French toast was just wet bread with the syrup giving it the only flavor it had. Eggs were way over cooked and the shredded potatoes were just frozen shedded potato placed on a flattop for a few minutes with zero seasoning. Just your average diner type food, nothing special here at all. 1 star for the food. Bumped it to 2 stars because our server was very nice and it's nice inside. read more

We walked for breakfast and, as always, found it great. Breakfast all day. Incredible Eggs Benedict, cooked just right. I noticed they have covered the seating area outside so it's not in the blazing sun. Might be a nice place for low cost, no hassle dinner and a beer. read more

Good little place for a quiet dinner. Nice menu choices with comfort food. Not gourmet but good fresh meals. I had eggplant parm with a nice salad and it was tasty. My husband had a special of rosemary pork chops and mashed potatoes that he thought was delicious. He had chicken soup to start which comes with the meal. Nice warm rolls. Good bar and drink selection too. The server was pleasant and attentive. read more

I applied to this job in September 2020. I was scheduled a cook interview. I work another job in Newport that's seasonal. I nailed the cook interview. Now my pay rate was too high for there restaurant. After 2 weeks no one called me. So I just ask Sue one of the managers I'll come get my one day check. Few weeks after that me and my girlfriend order some clam cakes. They was awful with hard no clams. Still wanna support local business. ‍. 1/20/2021. I had a feeling this breakfast was gonna suck. Didn't follow my instincts. Support your local business during these trying times. I order the steak and eggs. The steak look like it was thrown across the kitchen before hit the grill. I asked medium. The steak was well done. Shredded hash browns look like someone stepped on it. Eggs was rubbery and more home fries please. I'll never go to this place again. I could have cook better at home. Next time I'll be doing just that. read more

Ordered a breakfast combo , rubbery eggs and home fries seemed like the cook counted 7 pieces of potatoes. The second order was to be scrambled eggs but it ended up looking like a omelet . awful all around and portion size was more like a snack size . * so much for supporting local businesses, poor presentation for take out and not worth $25 for rubbery eggs .. read more

I never thought I would be the person to leave a 1 star review on Yelp but this place deserves it. I've given it a few chances because it's so close to my work and the food is good but the service is absolutely terrible. Both waitresses that seem to be the only ones who work there are miserable. It's like they are annoyed that I am even there. The vibes are absolutely horrible and the attitude left me speechless. Even though the food is good, I can't get over how bad the service is. Never going back. read more

My first visit here.. a nice low-key place with varied menu reasonably priced. Had corned beef and cabbage for St Patrick's day and it hit the spot. Friendly service... love to come back to try breakfast and other menu selections... read more

Eggs cold, shredded hash brown not cooked, if you are going to serve corn beef has from a can at least crisp it up....a little! Place was not busy at all but getting a refill on coffee was impossible! read more

I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. My 87 yr old Mom wanted fish and chips for dinner so we checked around and found Lauren's online menu. The price was $14.99. A bit overpriced but since we heard good things about it, she decided to try it. Boy, was she disappointed. It was absolutely horrible. The fish was way overcooked, greasy as hell and even hard in some spots. It was so greasy, it made her sick. She couldn't even eat the fries. In the styrofoam take out container, they had the fish and fries on a piece of wax paper that was drenched. The fries were in a puddle of grease. We didn't notice the paper or puddle until after she ate the fish. To top it all off, she is having surgery in two days and just wanted fish and chips before going into the hospital. She almost ended up in the hospital from eating the fish. Absolutely disgusting! We will never go back there. read more

Me and a group of my retired buddies have breakfast here once a week and the food and service are fine. Tried their dinner one evening with four of our breakfast group and myself makes five. Although my friends seemed generally pleased, and the prices are reasonable and the service good, I must say you should steer clear of the shepherd's pie which although ample is literally about 85 percent mashed potatoes and so little meat and veggies that there's not enough of these ingredients to actually determine if it tastes okay. Apparently it included a modicum of ground beef or ground lamb and a few kernels of corn. No other visible or tastable ingredients. A really disappointing meal. read more

Decided to try out a new place for breakfast. Lauren's Restaurant was a good choice. I ordered the usual , 2 eggs scrambled , toast , home fries and bacon. The food came out hot and was excellent. The service was good. Our waitress was at our table within a minute or 2 to take out order. I plan on making a return visit. read more

The dinner started like any other. Most of the table ordered Lauren's steak which was excellent. That said I ordered the special whole belly fried clams. They came out with the breading still very doughy. I sent it back. The same plate came back out no more than 5 minutes later and was still undercooked. The waitress gave an apology but it had some serious overtones of annoyance. I ended up changing to a steak to go. I'm very upset that I didnt get a chance to eat with my party especially as it was my girlfriends and brother in laws birthday dinner (which we told the waitress). Also the waitress seemed to be more interested in her phone and a young man at the bar then her guests. Even though the steak was good, I will not recommend to anyone as they seemed very nonchalant over serving raw seafood twice and general bad service. read more

I will hit the negatives first. This place needs a vacuum badly. Carpets are covered in dirt, potato chips and so on. In the middle of dinner they must have dropped 20 pounds of silverware into a bin in the dining area. Its something you would see at a diner. Adding to the feel of the place was the patrons. One with a hacking nasty cough that lasted through the meal. The rest were loud and when I looked around nobody seemed very happy in there. The waitress was on the spot with the service. Items showed up in a very reasonable time. But no friendly feel at all. On the other hand the food was very good, plentiful, and inexpensive. Very good burger and fries. The salad was exactly how I asked for it. My dates turkey club was far more than she could eat and she said it was excellant. read more

I come here often especially for Sunday night dinner and occasional breakfast. I've experienced a crowd for sure. Today me and 2 friends came for breakfast at 11am. Typical rush - we expected a wait. Say quickly surprisingly but our waitress didn't speak to us for 45 minutes and we watched tables who sat long after us come, eat, pay and leave. We ordered at 11:09 and did not get our food until 12:25pm. And NO ONE helped us or even looked our way. I'm appalled at the lack of service. I've worked in the industry a long time and I'm disgusted. They lost a great customer today. read more

Poor quality food which came out cold and was put in the microwave when we informed the server it was cold. It took 1 hour+ for the food to come out and another hour for the server to bring the check. Very, very bad. Probably won't come back. read more

The prices are good but the food is not. Since the new ownership took over, the quality went down. My daughter ordered the pancakes which were under cooked, and tasted like cake batter. The home fries were also under cooked. My bacon and eggs were fine, the eggs tasted farm fresh. My ice coffee was undrinkable, just terrible. My wife ordered their specialty, sweet bread french toast which was bland, and less flavorful than I remember. I will not be making the 20 minute drive to have breakfast here anymore. read more
