    Stuffed French Toast
    Cheyenne M.

    Update: No longer open 24-hours. Seems to hold the same homey-family run vibe, with super friendly waitresses, and quite the sizable menu.

    Love the old school diner vibe! Our server was pleasant, efficient, and gave good recommendations. She suggested the cream of turkey soup and it was excellent. Large portions of Spinach pie, Greek salad, and chicken Slovakia tasted homemade. Breakfast is served all-day, and the lunch menu is extensive. Definitely worth the drive to RI. Can't wait to return with family and friends.

    Ordered some takeout for Super Bowl game festivities w my wife. Two burgers w fries and slaw - very good, but beef needed some seasoning. Had spicy buffalo wings which was like 10 segments and were breaded w buffalo sauce and some blue cheese. Good but not crispy. Potato skins were good and wife loved the onion rings. Order ready in like 15-20 min which was a surprise. Easy meal, no long line and order was perfect.

    Wow! I can't believe I slept on this place. First off, the service was the most friendly I've seen in a long time, if ever. The server was so sweet, with such a positive attitude. She really tried to get to know us and was excited that we were trying this place for the first time. Now, let me tell you about their special breakfast sandwich that's served on French toast. I think I died and went to heaven! I really love French toast, and I can say that they do it really well. The vibe in here is super casual and comfortable. Old school diner all the way, with adorable little old ler couples coming in and families enjoying delicious food. I look forward to bringing my kids on the next visit!

    The first order of sweet potato fries little overcooked for me
    Catherine S.

    It wasn't busy at all. We went in there for a late lunch. We were doing a sandwich, passport for Rhode Island food fights. I don't remember the name of the sandwich that they're offering this time, but it was a turkey breast sandwich, nice sliced turkey with lettuce, tomato cheddar cheese and honey mustard dressing. I thought that it was a cold sandwich, but it ended up being more of a hot sandwich because they grilled it so we kind of heated everything up, which didn't really do well for the tomato and lettuce, but I just took it off. It was OK.. So we got that my husband I split it with a side of sweet potato fries inside of steak fries. They were both good except the sweet potato fries ended up being overcooked so because I have braces, it was painful for me to eat them, but they had regular steak fries so white the steak a few of the steak fries which weren't too greasy and nothing. She did end up going back and making me another order of sweet potato fries, but and they were much better than the first one like they were definitely much better than the first one, but they weren't as big as the first order so that was kind of like a letdown, but that's OK next time. The server I don't remember her name, but she was super nice and friendly. She had talked about how she worked other places and stuff before, and she was there now, and she really liked it. How different things about that I like the fact that the time of the day went in that there was only like five of us total in the whole restaurant which I like that because I hate when it's super busy and I feel like I'm not them being rushed, but I feel like I wanna hurry up and get out with other people can sit down. But it was a great experience. I always go there with my friends and stuff and my family so I'm looking forward to going back there again soon in the future.

    Homemade Chicken Soup
    Eric O.

    Wow! Finally a good ol fashioned diner right out of sitcoms of old. The staff is expressive and impressive. The cook is truly an artisan and the decor is vintage 1950's classic "greasy spoon". So much value from classic comfort food. It doesn't matter if you belly up to the stools facing the cook or if you grab a 2-top table or booth you are quickly served. Really, I think it was 15 seconds after I parked my butt into my chair that I got an i e cool beer to get me started. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and substituted fries for pasta. The waitstaff didn't bat an eye and got me my dishes toot-sweet! My meal came with a healthy side salad and fresh homemade chicken soup (New England chowder was the other options this day). They give you a ton of food! So much so that you'll be begging for a "to-go" box well before you'll get down to digging in your goodies. To be fair and balanced, of the dishes served up I had some issues with the chicken parmigiana. Not that is was bad, because it was far from that. I wasn't the biggest fan of the marinara sauce. It was a little under seasoned. That's not a big deduction from their ledger. I get generalizing the taste to serve multiple pallets. I like more spice in my sauce. Other than that, everything was delicious. I strongly endorse this eatery and don't hesitate to sing its praises.

    Gyro on Pita
    Nicholas P.

    This is a great place large menu we got the fish & chips really good and fries we also had a gyro platter food all way good here one of the best place to eat in the Woonsocket era . Service is all ways good

    Side of toast
    Barbara Ann W.

    Hadn't been to this northern RI institution in a very long time. Visited for breakfast on a busy weekend morning and was seated immediately. The waitress was friendly and efficient, keeping the coffee mugs full the entire visit. The menu has lots of great sounding options, but I chose my breakfast standby: cheese, mushrooms and bacon. My loyal fans know that bacon is the only red meat in which I indulge - on occasion. Going out for breakfast is one such rare event. The meal was served with hash browns, which were very good - not overly seasoned or salted. The toast was perfectly done with just enough butter slathered on. The omelet itself was piping hot with a generous amount of cheese, mushrooms and crisp bacon inside as well as two strips on top. Nothing fancy, but if you love the nostalgia of an old time diner and a decent meal, The Patriots is an area staple. It's good to know they still serve a mean breakfast!

    Stuffed cabbage with mash potato -gravy
    Lilipoot A.

    Another fantastic experience at the Patriots Diner today. We ordered the stuffed cabbage ( Monday special). It came with mashed potatoes/gravy and steamed veggies. We also got the ham cheese and tomato omelette. Both meals were out of this world.

    Patriots Diner in Woonsocket was a choice for breakfast this morning. We thought the prices were a bit high for breakfast, but the portions were big. I just had a grilled bagel with cream cheese, and the hubby had a short stack of blueberry pancakes. He couldn't finish them! That doesn't happen often! Coffee was good, waitress 's were friendly. The place is old, but it has that energy that makes it kind of fun to be there.

This spot happens to be on my way home from the office and I'm glad I stopped in. Overall the place is small, with both table dining and bar seating. My friend and I chose to sit at the bar. Meaghan was our bartender. Friendly and informative, she really knew the menu. I got garlic teriyaki wings, my friend got a double order of plain and we shared a pepperoni, half black olive pizza. The wings were huge and juicy. The sauce was so good, and they did a great job of coating the wings in a way that they were well covered but the sauce wasn't dripping off. The pizza was better than average. I had heard it described as bar pie in the local pizza Facebook group but that isn't accurate. It's got the thickness of a Greek style pizza but not baked in a pan. The pizza sauce has a nice tang to it that I prefer. It very easy to eat. Initially I thought I would be taking some pizza home for lunch the next day but before I knew it, I had polished off the wings and 6/8 of the pizza. My only criticism of the pie is I'm a stickler for a proper half and half split and the olives were on a majority of the pie instead of only half. I finished with a Snicker inspired drink created by our bartender. It's butterscotch forward in flavor and is decidedly a dessert drink. It was a lovely sweet treat to finish the meal. What I love most about the Food Fight events is having the opportunity to discover small spots like this one. Having a place to hide away from traffic on the way home from work is clutch, so I will be back sooner rather than later. I'm looking forward to the next time I stop by!

The restaurant is small (only seats 48) so reservations are recommended. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable, there wasn't very many people while we were there so I'm not sure how loud it gets when busy. They have a full bar so I ordered a drink and my husband loves his craft beers and they had a few (but he always prefers if they have a beer menu so he can read the beer description). For appetizers we ordered shrimp cocktail and the meatball. The shrimp and sauce were delicious, and the meatball was HUGE (we almost could have a meal with that!!! The meatball came with lots of sauce and ricotta with 2 toasted bread slices (we devoured every bit!). For dinner we shared 2 entrees, we got the seafood casserole which came with choice of side (we picked baked potato) and a vegetable medley, and the southern fried pork chops that came with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The food was so delicious we ate what we could and had to bring food home. Our server was excellent and very knowledgeable of the menu. This was one of the best places we've tried in a while.

My meatloaf was great! Nice Smokey flavor and four pieces was a hefty portion. The last two slices had some harder pieces of fat which I needed to take out of my mouth though. The potato salad is always killer- I think they add some sour cream to it to make it tangier. Cornbread is some of the best I've ever had- super sweet and cake like.
