The servers are all very kind there, especially to their regulars. It doesn't take a lot of time before they remember your order, even with how many people go. They go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and happy with your food. The home fries are the best I've ever had! It's not often I'm unhappy with something I order, but even then, every restaurant has their off days. With that said, my friends and I go there quite often for brunch, so their off days are very minimal. The diner itself is cozy and small, perfect for locals and tourists that want a taste of small town life. The wait for a table is never too long, mostly only occurring from 11-12, from my experience. The wait for food once seated is very minimal. Each time I've gone with a group of 4, we've all received our food quite quickly, leaving in under an hour with plenty of time to chat. read more

I like trying as many restaurants in the area I live in and even though it's on the other end of town, my husband and I came here for a late breakfast. We were warmly welcomed by a young man and he also was our waiter and he was very attentive and polite! He brought our food fast and stayed on top of the coffee. Really cute diner vibes inside. I had the plain French toast and ordered a side of scrambled eggs with cheese and toast and my husband had the big breakfast with a side of the best home fries you will ever have! I always see this restaurant while I'm getting my nails done across the street and I'm glad I gave this place a try finally because I know which place has the best home fries in town! read more

The Breakfast Nook - Plain French Toast - New American Near Me - North Kingstown, Rhode Island

This breakfast restaurant is exactly how I like them. Old style diner with the classic dishes. Order the big breakfast and had absolutely no complaints. Everything was delicious and the prices were great. The service was friendly and fast. Everyone coming in seems to be regulars, which delivered a comforting atmosphere. read more

See all

I have been going to the Breakfast Nook since the late 80's. It is my gold standard for breakfast places, based mostly on the way they make their home fries. I was so sad when their Wakefield location closed. Patty and the staff there were super friendly and made my family welcome anytime we came in. I am happy that the other location remains. My go-to order is the Breakfast Special. It comes with 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, and toast. It is just solid and, most importantly, not fancy. A standard breakfast should not be fancy. No extra spices! Your pallet needs time to wake up. This isn't brunch! The aforementioned home fries are flavored with onions and have been keeping warm on the grill, simmering all morning. They are just how I like them. The eggs, meat, and toast are always cooked well and if you like you bacon a little on the cripy side, they will keep them on the grill a little longer. The staff is always friendly, even when they are busy, and keep your coffee filled the entire time you are there. You can do a lot worse for breakfast! read more

The Breakfast Nook - Breakfast Special - New American Near Me - North Kingstown, Rhode Island

Visited for the first time today and will definitely return. This is a seat yourself establishment- which almost made me walk out, but I am glad I did not. Even though there was a line one of the bussers asked how many were in your party and kept you aware of what the wait was and when a table was ready. Due to the anxiety of having to stand in line in a very tight space for seating is the only reason for four out of five stars. The food was phenomenal. I got the big breakfast with blueberry pancakes. No complaints at all. I get my eggs over medium and they were cooked to perfection which is unusual. The pancakes were delicious. If you have the chance to get the chocolate mousse muffin I strongly recommend! The waitress was kind, knowledgeable and efficient. I never had to ask for a refill she was right there topping off my coffee. read more

Exceptional service. Excellent food at good prices. I recommend breakfast nook over most all . And I know my breakfast

Loved food, service was great. It's a hidden gem with cosy atmosphere. Will come often

Had breakfast special at the counter Waitress was pleasant Customers entertaining Food was good, bacon, sausage and eggs cooked perfectly hash browns were a bit acidic but otherwise satisfied Decent price read more

This was my third visit here, and none were impressive, unfortunately. The waitress is friendly and does have to serve the entire restaurant, so there is no change to say more than a word or two, to her. I have tried an omelette, a breakfast special and today, the peanut butter pancakes. Now we're very tasty or outstanding. The peanut butter pancakes were the worst: there was not even a hint of peanut butter in or on them. They tasted like regular, tasteless pancakes. I had to use a lot of butter and syrup (I prefer to pay more and have the option of 'real' maple syrup) to get them down my throat. They were very dry. I could have used more hot coffee, but it was not offered, and the mugs are too small. With so many wonderful breakfast places in RI, I will not be back here for another try. One other thing: it felt like there was no heat on in the restaurant! read more

My husband went to meet his friend this morning for breakfast. He arrived first, and they refused to seat him until his friend arrived. It wasn't busy and there were several empty tables. He has some physical restraints and is a senior, so this was not a good greeting. When his friend arrived they were seated at a booth, which had a low hanging light. My husband is tall and hit his head on the light. His head was cut and began to bleed. He asked his server for a bandaid. She returned saying the manager said bandaids were for employees only. He asked to see the manager. The manager refused to speak to him. My husband and his friend got up and left. I am beyond upset by this type of service. I was in the service industry my whole life and this is by far the worst service I ever have heard about. The manager needs to find another job! He also happens to be the owner. read more

love this place old school vibes the owners are great people the servers are friendly and most important. The food is delicious.!!!!!!

Not child friendly. Only a select few tables allow for a high chair. Their offer to accommodate for this, is a small old plastic booster seat. If you place the booster seat on a booth it is not level and flat and the child can't reach the table. There is no safety strap. I had to hold him on my lap which left me one hand to eat breakfast. We ended up getting our food to go and eating it in the car. Our waitress didn't seem to care about my plight. At all. The blueberry muffin was dry and tasteless. If you don't have a small child and enjoy cramped seating, bland food and uncaring waitstaff, then this is the place for you. read more

Very cramped seating and uncomfortable booths. They are old, made for stick people and the tables aren't level. The eggs Benedict and corned beef hash were good. Omelette was average. We were just so uncomfortable having to squeeze into our booth then eat on a slanted table it was not enjoyable to dine there. They could really use a total remodel or expansion. read more

Ordered Waffles with apple and cinnamon topping and got a decent waffle smothered in cold, canned apple pie filling! Couldn't finish it. Never again! read more

I got the burger club with a side of bandaid...bandaid thumb squished right into the meat when putting the food down. Tried the half that wasn't voilated by the crusty bandaid bandit and well it's a 1 star for me read more

I have been going to The Breakfast Nook since I was a kid and it always has fantastic diner food. Their breakfast can't be beat and there is always awesome specials! I am just deducting one star because the prices have really skyrocketed lately. Recommend! read more

We absolutely love this place! Patty, our server, is super friendly and efficient. My husband had sausage patties and eggs and was thrilled, and I had the French Toast Special which had strawberries, blueberries and bananas and it was the thick French Toast. The special coffee today was Witches Potion, which was so amazingly delicious l got a large one to go. If you want to meet Patty, she will be going back to the one in Wakefield soon. read more

Last time I went (@ 3 months ago) wasn't great. Waitress placed food on the wrong table. Decided to try it again today. Had the Biscuit & Gravy "Special". It was served COLD! Won't go back again. read more

The food was very good service was pleasant the food came out hot and reasonably quick. And very reasonably priced all round good experience. We would definitely go again read more

Fast, affordable, and clean. This is a nice hometown dinner. They are doing great with COVID protocols. Nothin' fancy, but in a good way!

Very nice little breakfast lunch place extremely friendly staff very quaint place reasonable pricing

In the past, a decent breakfast was to be found here. Recently, batting zero. My "french toast" was supposed to be made using what's called "Texas toast," a thicker, more substantial bread. Instead, I got a plain piece of what appeared to be plain old white bread, that hadn't been soaked in any egg or other batter. Topping was supposed to be "apple cinnamon;" apples yes (out of a can); cinnamon - no. I asked the waitress , who was nice and attentive - her excuse: we're understaffed. My wife's a vegetarian and ordered a veggie omelet. I guess the cook added in the piece of pork (bacon? ham?) as flavorful (and surely unwelcome) gift. Might want to ask (before ordering) if they are fully staffed that day, otherwise no telling what will end up in your plate. It might be smarted to just go somewhere else, period. read more

This is my third time eating here and they don't disappoint. They have excellent parking which is a rarity in the area, but something that matters to me. The waitstaff is friendly and today was no exception. The last two times I was here during the busy weekends and they had themes like crazy hair day and crazy hat day, so they like to have fun. The menu says they boast the best cheese omelet in Rhode Island, and I really can't disagree (at least in this area of RI) I ordered the meat lovers with an extra egg, onions and jalapeños. It was fantastic!! Each bite yummy to the end. They really have omelets figured out!! Definitely coming back and totally recommend. Only negative feedback I can think of is for bigger sized people like me. The booths are a little tight (with immovable tables), but nothing out of the ordinary. It was a little more pricey than I would like, but was great tasting and satisfying. My slightly customized omelet and a coffee rang in after tax at $14.53 Initial meat lovers: $7.95 Onion and jalapeños: $2.00 Extra egg: $1.25 Bottomless coffee: $2.25 read more

The Breakfast Nook - Meat lovers Omelet - New American Near Me - North Kingstown, Rhode Island

I eat breakfast here seven days a week. I always eat the New York steak and eggs. They are the best restaurant within 50 miles of where I live. They're open every morning at 6 AM except Sunday they're open at 7 AM. I've tried other breakfast restaurants in the area but I keep coming back to The Breakfast Kook. read more

Solid food, friendly staff, lots of choices, reasonable prices. . . what's not to like? We've been three times in the space of a week and a day, the first time because they were the only breakfast place open nearby when one of the many snowstorms of this winter was roaring through. I've been driving past this place every day and always wondered what it was like inside. Given it's small-from-the -outside appearance, and given how the parking lot of the weekend always seems to be full, we were afraid that it would be chock full of regulars, and noobs like us would be made to feel unwelcome. Nothing could have been farther from the truth. . . well, there have been regulars every time we've been there, but we were made to feel welcome from the get go. We've only been for breakfast and haven't tried the lunch yet, but the breakfast offerings range from the standard two eggs and toast, to fancy-schmancy omelettes or pancakes, to some pretty neat specials. I've had the biscuits and sausage gravy (a special), eggs benedict over hash (special), and a standard two-eggs, home fries and sausage and bacon breakfast. All were yummy. My wife has tried the peanut butter pancakes, a mushroom and cheese omelette, and the same omelette made into a breakfast wrap. She liked all of her selections as well. We've gone early enough each of the times we've been so that there hasn't been a wait. I understand that there can be a wait later in the morning. Prices are a little less than the next closest breakfast place, and I think the serving sizes are similar, maybe a wee bit smaller, but I could stand to avoid the larger-than-needed serving sizes at some places anyway. I've been satisfied and not left hungry any of the times we've been. We're definitely keeping this place in our breakfast rotation. read more

The food at the Nook is decent, nothing special. They have a big selection which is a plus. The first time I went, the service was okay. Slow, but not unbearable. This weekend I went and the place was not empty, but not packed by any means. Our waitress came by once, dropped off our food and then we could not get a hold of her after that. She was chattin' it up with her coworkers and could not be bothered with us. After sitting at an empty table (another waitress came by to bus our table) for 15 minutes, my boyfriend got up to find her and get the check. This Nook is not really worth the time you wait! read more

Went this morning not impressed. Sat down at the counter got a cup of coffee.the waitress,was . talking to another customer for 10 minutes and never asked what I wanted I had to tell her I was ready to order I ordered the homemade corned beef hash eggs and toast the meal did not come with home fries the corn beef hash was very blend was not impressed at all the waitress really needs to learn how to pay attention when there's more than two people in the restaurant. read more

Im happy to have this place in my back yard! The breakfast menue is traditional! Plus a special board with unique specials! Its a bit tight in here for seating, but it does have high chairs if needed. The waitstaff is super friendly, and work well as a team here! read more

We love this place! It has really good food, friendly staff and has that small family owned feel... which we love! We will def. be going back! We both had Omelets, hash-browns and coffee. I hope to go back soon! read more

Who doesn't love going out for breakfast? It is my favorite meal to eat out, no joke; making some eggs at home can be a pain. I frequently break the yoke on my over easy eggs, folding over an omelet can be a complete nightmare, and who owns a waffle iron these days. The food is always consistently good, just what you would expect from a diner like place such as this. I do caution that if you go during peak times you more than likely will have to wait. The staff has always been very friendly and personable each time I've been there. Sometimes, like today maybe a little too friendly, the busboy had a table of friends right behind mine. Unfortunately, this had him standing right at my side for longer than I was comfortable with, it also meant that he wasn't bussing tables while there were at least 5 or 6 people waiting for the majority of the time I was there (including an elderly woman). I was disappointed that no one noticed that they had been at that table waiting for someone for 40 minutes. I know this because they told the person who arrived to join them, they had been waiting that long. They also had only just put in their order. Had I been one of the people waiting It would have really made me mad. read more

Great local breakfast spot. On weekends the line can be out the door. Staff are always kind and attentive and reasonable prices with fair quantity. The newly designed outside, looks a little off, but don't let that deter you. read more

This is one of those non corporate breafast/lunch diner type restaurants. I go here when I want to treat myself. The food is all star quality. The coffee is good. I LOVE Eggs Benedict. The Breakfast Nook makes THE BEST EGGS BENEDICT that I know of. read more

Pros: Cheap Service is good they turn tables for a small place so wait is limited Can get home fries OR hash-browns Cute breakfast place Good specials Cons: Small read more

Used to go here all the time out of convenience and thought the food was good. Since moved and have had way better breakfasts out there. Just tried here again and wasn't good at all. Steak and cheese omelette...not good. No omelettes come with homefries...what is that about?? Go to Oatleys in NK, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went there yesterday for breakfast. Had to wait for service and the place was pretty much empty. When I reach to hand my husband menu I saw a bunch of small ants. Told the waitress who had finally come over to take our order and she said oh we just got that taken care of! Ordered a breakfast sandwich that came out wrong. Ham instead of bacon. Her answer to this was come in next time and I'll buy your breakfast. Yeah right. Too many better places around. I would say stay away. read more

This was a last-minute decision to stop in here on the hunt for a good breakfast place. We were pleasantly surprised that it was not crowded, we got to sit down anywhere. Wait staff was friendly and the menu offers a good variety for breakfast and lunch. There are some great specials. I ordered the breakfast special which had two eggs bacon two sausages and home fries which you can add on for a little extra and it also came with toast. It was a large portion and everything was delicious! My husband and I both had coffee and after looking around for a bit I noticed they had a seasonal flavor called witches brew. I was told this was a vanilla chai flavor, the waitress topped off the coffee I already had with the witches brew flavor and after trying it, I realized that the next time I am definitely getting the witches brew! Super delicious. So glad we stopped in here, everything was great, definitely worth a try! The hours are 6 AM to 2 PM every day except Sundays and holidays which are 7 to 2. read more

I really wanted to like this place but just couldn't. Our meal was over priced, not prepared properly (thin omlets & mushy soft home fries) and our waiter was to busy talking to his buddy at the counter. Won't be returning read more

Pretty small yet good place. Service was excellent although it was a slow snowy morning. Food was good, nothing to brag about but good tasting. Limt on 1 coffee refill for 1.79 but waitress kept filling me up anyway without charge so that was good. Prices were reasonable but had to order homefries as a side with my omelet where most places it is included. read more

Great place. A little small, but good food and friendly staff. Get there early.
