    Meat Loaf Plate - Awesome!
    Scott D.

    Several months ago we found Shannon's and we've been going regularly ever since for Sunday breakfast. I'm sure that many other reviews have already told you how good the breakfasts are and what a good value they are as well. But today I stopped in for lunch with a friend and I decided to go for a lunch plate. For one thing, they have a great selection of plates compared to other diners. At least a dozen choices. I went for the classic diner meatloaf which I consider to be as good a measure of a homestyle restaurant as you can get. Well, let me tell you, it was a treat! A huge portion of nice classic meatloaf with no wierd surprises... just good dense and meaty goodness made even better by spending a little time geting burned on the griddle. The huge blob of homemade potatoes also got a little griddle time leaving some pleasing burnt spots here and there. And the broccoli, which they prepare chopped and seasoned was fresh and retained a nice al dente crunch (not bland and boiled to within an inch of it's life like you usually get). The brown gravy was rich and generously slathered and loaded with fresh mushrooms. Honestly, I can't say that I've ever had better. With cooking like that, I'll bet that Shannon's hubby is rocking a pretty impressive gut! I've got a pretty good appetite but there was no way I could finish this portion. I packed up a third but seriously, I should have packed half or more. And the price... under $8 as I recall (and that was pretty much the most expensive thing they offered). Place is cozy and cute. Kept pretty clean... even the bathroom. And the wait staff is pleasant and attentive. I'm going to declare Shannon's an (un)official Pawtucket "Hidden Gem" (and if you read my other reviews you'll see that I'm usually a tough grader). Go there and I bet you will too. I'll be back for sure. Now I have to try the rest of the lunch plates!

    My favorite breakfast place, love banana pancakes, the fruit French toast, the beef hash and of course the Benedict eggs!

    Came here this morning and it was great. The food was flavorful, the service was awesome [Shannon was a doll] and no waiting time. Definitely a gem. We will be coming back forsure, I recommend it.

    I love "greasy spoon" types of places for the same reason that I tend to like dive bars. They are a folk art version of eating and drinking that really captures the social underpinnings of any given community. I hail from the Chicago suburbs. In this environment, certified organic [insert food here] and other associated marketing hang ups rule the day for the pretentious and wannabe sophisticated. Since I work in advertising I am glad the public is so easy to manipulate, but It is also quite depressing in many respects. When looked upon from this context, I actually NEED places like this to give me some assurance that all hope for the future of humanity is not lost. I travel to New England A LOT for business. I have been to every state with the exception of Maine. One of my clients in Pawtucket who knows my taste in food recommended this place, and he hit the center of the bullseye with this recommendation.Thus far, only a place called the Mad Hatter in Weymouth, Mass tops Shannon's in traditional diner fare. The interior of this place is about what you would expect. Old School, rustic, and likely unchanged in most respects since the day they first opened their doors for business. It was also VERY busy to put it mildly. People were waiting by the front door, and the second someone left the table was cleaned and wiped off in a matter of seconds and a new crop of customers plopped down to take their place. Menu options are typical for establishments of this type, and daily specials are also available which the wait staff will spout off to you like they are reciting the pledge of allegiance when they stop by to see if you want coffee while looking over the menu.The coffee here, by the way, is VERY strong. It would awaken someone from a coma, which is also quite characteristic of New England just in general. They love their coffee here. There is a Dunkin Doughnuts franchise about every 10 blocks in most parts of New England it seems like. You have all the essentials for breakfast represented here: Belgian waffles, omelets, eggs combos, pancakes, french toast, etc. If you can't find something to get into here, then there is something seriously wrong with you. The hash browns they serve here are especially wonderful. Nice and crispy on the outside yet also moist and salty to contrast with the eggs. Yum! I ate ravenously. While we were here to have breakfast, I can imagine this place would be like nectar from the gods at like 2 AM after a night of pounding down beer and shots. The service here was rapid and attentive. The waitress did not have much time for idle chit chat since the place was so busy. Nonetheless I had my plate of food sitting in front of me within about 15 min of placing my order at the table. Keep in mind that this place is cash only, so make sure to hit the ATM before stopping by. Also be aware that since it is really busy that the earlier you get here the better. Parking is few and far between. Bon Appetit!
