    Parfait and a side of bacon.
    Holly L.

    Grabbed some takeout breakfast for myself and a couple others. The parfait with cinnamon and fresh fruit was delicious, my office mates also enjoyed their combo meal and crepes. Only complaints would be the toast was not buttered, and I had asked for turkey bacon but received pork bacon *Shucks*.

    a street corner with a street sign

    It was a Saturday morning around 9:15am. Looking for a breakfast place where we don't have to wait forever. Did a quick search and Modern Bistro came up. We pulled up, ample parking. Good sign! we entered and there were only two other parties seated. Nice modern look with a slight rustic feel. Our waitress was very nice (a Bryant student) and quick service! When I looked a the menu- they have some interesting items. Not just a basic breakfast place. I did stick basic. I went with the 2 eggs with bacon and a slice of French toast. Pretty simple. Nothing to shout from the mountains over but I can say- the home fries are flavorless. Could use some help there. In regards to Covid- hand sanitizer is available. All staff were wearing masks, we were socially distanced from other patrons and even the cooks we could see when the door swung open were wearing masks! That impressed my husband since he has worked in hot kitchens previosuly.

    Croque Monsieur
    Bridget L.

    Found this place while out cruising, it looked very promising. It is a very family type of atmosphere. We were seated quickly, but did have a bit of a wait waiting on the waitress. Everything looked and sounded so good. My husband got breakfast which he said was delicious!! I got the croque monsieur, the bread was a little dry, and the mustard a bit thick, but otherwise really good, it came with house made potato chips which I usually hate, but there were delicious, crispy and not overly greasy. I received a phone call just as the food came so I didn't get a picture of my husbands food.

    What a great find here locally. The only thing better than the delicious food, was the outstanding service! From the young man who greeted us at the door (and who was running around doing everything else with a smile on his face), to our waitress Samantha who was just delightful.

    My waitress was very polite & was so welcoming. The food was very good and she frequently checked back with me to see if I was okay and if I need anything and I was very excited about that.

    Was here for breakfast with a guest. Service was okay but the meal was fair. Could have been a bad day.

    Woke up a late on a Thursday morning and all I wanted was brunch!! Did a quick search on yelp and came across this hidden gem! When my family and I walked in we noticed how cute and clean the location was. Started off with $7.99 mimosas they were sweet and strong (just the way I like them!). I made up my own omelet which had American cheese, tomatoes, caramelized onions, peppers, and pesto. I can not describe how amazing this omelette was (my mouth just watered up!). If you are looking for a late delicious breakfast I HIGHLY recommend this place!

We entered through the back door since we saw others had and it was opened to allow fresh air in. All the booths hugging the wall were taken so we seated at the middle tables (but also offered the bar area). Their menu isn't too big, which made my decision easier and they had plates that have a little bit of everything which I loved. My mom had the MO which came with two eggs, home fries, toast, and four bacon and I ended up going with the little lady which included one egg, one sausage, one bacon, home fries (beans or fruit are other options), and I chose grilled English muffin as my bread. I was a bit worried it wouldn't be enough food but it was more than enough. The eggs was cooked perfectly. The bacon was crispy. The sausage was flavorful and tender. The potatoes were unique and one of the best I've ever had. They were short sticks that could've been lightly fried or maybe grilled, I wasn't sure. But the flavor and consistency/texture were amazing. The French toast was really good, thick and eggy. A sprinkle of cinnamon would've been perfect. I will be coming here more often. Prices are really good and the staff is very kind and attentive.

This time, not so much. Everything came out overcooked. The omelette and eggs were dry, and even the eggs ordered over easy had a strange, gelled texture instead of soft, runny yolks. The hollandaise sauce was broken with an odd orange color and smoky flavor, and the potatoes were mushy and unappetizing. Overall, the food quality was a big disappointment. The only reason this is getting two stars is because the service was genuinely great. Otherwise, I'd suggest finding another spot for breakfast, or hopefully ownership can bring in a cook who knows how to execute classic breakfast dishes properly.

Missy's came up as being affordable, with good reviews and pictures, and it was open. You cannot miss the building since it is a bright highlight blue color. There is a well-sized parking lot. When we arrived, there were a couple of people there, but we were still seated at the booth by the window that we were eyeing. Our waitress gave us some menus, and immediately, I was drawn to the plate with home fries, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and French toast (or pancakes). It was only about $11 and brings a little bit of everything. After about 10-15 minutes, our food was brought out. I was a bit underwhelmed by the French toast. It looked like regular toast, so I thought they maybe misunderstood that I wanted grilled English muffin for my bread. But turns out, their French toast does not have as much batter as l am used to. I do like that it is sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, but it is a but dry - the syrup makes it better. I requested my eggs scrambled and with cheese and the cheese was perfectly melted. The bacon was crispy, with the right thickness. I had read that their sausages are good, and indeed they are - juicy, a tad spicy, and flavorful. The English muffin was crispy and buttery. The potatoes were soft and tasty. The back of the paper placemats have puzzles and activities, which we only realized before leaving. The inside made us feel like we were at someone's home, so it made us feel more comfortable.

When trying out a new restaurant, we have little to no expectations but we go with an empty stomach & open mind. I had to look up Manville in Google maps - it's half way between Cumberland & Woonsocket. The restaurant is an unassuming storefront on a mostly residential street. We walked in & were greeted warmly. The restaurant was hopping on a late Saturday morning, so we took the two open seats at the counter. Your Mother's Favorite is truly a family affair. Dad is in the kitchen with an uncle & a son, mom is running the front of house with another son & some other relatives. We learned that this restaurant is an offshoot of their Sunnyside on the Street food truck. They offered any 1/2 lb brisket/chuck blend burger on a brioche bun for the RI Food Fights coupons. Upon recommendation of the son who was serving us at the counter, I went with their best seller: The Mother In Law - caramelized onions, Gruyere cheese, house made sauce. It was SOOOO good! The burger was perfectly cooked with a ton of delicious caramelized onions & ooey gooey melted cheese holding it all together. Hubby opted for The Hot Mom - pepper jack cheese, red onion & house-made mango habanero sauce. He will order anything that will give his taste buds a kick... & this definitely kicked! For me, the sauce was too hot. For hubby, it was definitely HOT but he couldn't get enough! I've never seen a man eat a burger that fast! LOL Hubby was so excited about the mango habanero sauce that the dad/owner came out of the kitchen to discuss creating it. He also provided us with a small container to bring home to enjoy & shared the recipe. I was in the mood for something a little sweet & ordered one slice of the French toast. It was delicious. They also do a deep fried French toast which is something I will order the next time. We got into a nice conversation with the table next to the counter. The couple were fans of the family's original food truck & are repeat customers of Your Mother's Favorite. They were also fans of RI Food Fights - especially the January #LordOfTheWings. We concur! We ogled the other delicious breakfast dishes being delivered to customers. Hubby wants to try both the Huevos Rancheros & the Biscuits with Gravy. Their pancakes are supposed to be out of this world but I will be hard pressed not to order The Mother In Law again! Even though it was very busy, the family made time to chat with us & answer questions about the restaurant & menu. We loved everything about Your Mother's Favorite & can't wait for a return visit!

I'm guessing that was the owner who asked us how our lunch was, and I gave him two thumbs up because it's rude to talk with your mouth full, right? Anyway, the people who work there don't make you feel like you gotta wolf down your lunch super quick to make room for the next people coming in. The restaurant itself might not be crazy huge, but that's part of the charm. The radio even had a cover of "In The Mood" by Glen Miller playing while I finished my lunch, which was a nice treat. I later waddled out of there like a stuffed penguin, because "stuffed" is an accurate description of how I felt after eating my lunch. You do have to pay cash, which is OK.
