Today was our first (and not last) visit to The Hamilton Diner. We go there at 11:00am on a Tuesday (day after Labor Day just to keep the metrics in place) and the parking lot was packed. We did, however, find one about 4/5 of the way into it. Entrance way is at the end of a ramp, which I would interpret as a fairly tight squeeze if I was in a wheelchair. However, there was a fellow in an electric wheelchair making his way down the ramp as we were coming up, and we all made it up (and down) easily enough with just a pause. Hostess desk is immediately in the entrance. Very personable lady said it'd be a 25-minute wait, and that was pretty accurate. I gave her my phone number and received a message to download Yelp! including a "Your place in line" feature. Benches to sit and wait - one outside and three inside. We were 4th in line, and then 2nd, and then 1st. I felt a vibration from the phone but saw no message. So I went to the desk to check, and they were ready anyhow with 4 empty tables. Seated us quickly and our waitress Ashley was there in short time. Paula (wifey) ordered some Egg Sandwich and a small order of French Toast. I ordered Southern Benedict, which was a buttermilk biscuits base, topped with a fried chicken patty, 2 poached eggs, and smothered in a creamy sausage gravy, and it came with an order of home fries. We were both very happy with the flavor and portions. In fact I was rather full and didn't eat the last 3 or 4 bites. I also had an iced coffee, which was nice and strong. The place is very much where neighbors and families meet and greet. Lot's of "Norm!!" moments. Pricing if fairly average -- it was (with a 20% tip) $45 for us two. My only complaint had nothing to do with the restaurant, but with adults who don't know how to tell a kid not to do shrill whistling in a restaurant. No more details on that. Again, not the restaurant's fault. We definitely would like to go there again, especially to order some bacon, as that, in my estimation, is a very important factor for breakfast -- I just didn't have any reason for it this time, what with the chicken and the sausage gravy. read more

Another great breakfast at Hamilton. But I got carded, & denied! Waitress said I looked too damn good for 62. (Im 56, with a prescription list only a body builder could carry around. 62 will be here soon enough..maybe I'll be there for it. Hubby had classic Benedict & i had just the typical eggs, meat, homefries & toast. 2 ice coffees & hubs has 2 lg OJs. The breakfast table isn't for the faint of heart anymore. Food was prepared perfected, of course. And I didn't get our usual table outside the bathroom for a change. They are expanding their afternoon.menu also. read more

I wanted to give a huge shoutout to the owner Ari and his entire staff. Ari is a true stand-up guy who leads with passion and humility. He genuinely cares about his restaurant and the people he serves. A lot of owners would get defensive over something as minor as "the home fries weren't well done enough," but not Ari. We've been to Hamilton Diner many times and the food is consistently delicious. On this visit, our home fries weren't quite as crispy as we'd asked for. It was a small thing that honestly wouldn't have affected our rating at all -- we know how busy things can get. What impressed me most was Ari personally coming to our table to apologize and bringing out a fresh replacement. He didn't have to do that, but he did - and that's exactly why we'll keep coming back. Thank you, Ari, for your compassion, your humbleness, and the pride you take in your restaurant. You and your team are doing it right. Also sorry for the lack of photos, we dug right into our dishes. The Biscuits and Gravy dish is delicious! read more

Food was incredible!! I got the whole bellies and they were lightly battered and cooked to perfection!!! My friend got the fish and chips and said they were best she's had!! Definitely returning on a Friday night for dinner. (I do go to breakfast regularly there) Best around!!! And my server Samantha was amazing!! read more

The Hamilton Diner - Whole belly clams and fish and chips. I was offered a vegetable in place of fries and was given my favorite, corn on the cob!!! - Diners Near Me - Seekonk, Massachusetts

We just went for the first time today. We ordered the lobster benedict, corn beef hash, the stuffed blueberry French toast and a pancake meal. Everything was fantastic and the service was great. The over 62 meal was a great value and a large portion for the money. All the portions were generous. The call ahead to join the waitlist was super helpful on a busy Sunday. My only complaint was my husband ordered the lobster benedict special without checking the price and it was surprisingly $30. That was a little higher than we expected and he wouldn't have ordered it, but that's his fault for not checking the price beforehand. I highly recommend! read more

My friends and I were out on another leg of the Lord of the Rings RI Food Fight and we began our day here. The place is cute and cozy, we were sat right away. Our server was very friendly and helped us decide what kinds of wings we wanted. She was awesome, I wish I could remember her name. We had two coupons so we chose the spicy peach winter berry wings and the hot honey wings. With lots of blue cheese dressing on the side! We were really impressed with the wings here. Nice and crispy, and both sauces were very good. I liked the spicy peach better but all the wings were eaten quickly. Most of the group lives in the area and were pleased to see the great breakfast and lunch options available every day, all day. We will definitely be back to try some of their other offerings! read more

The Hamilton Diner is an amazing spot! I had no idea how good it would be, until I walked in. I came because they are on the list for RI Food Fights best sandwich RI. The choices were a southern chicken and waffles breakfast sandwich or another very fancy sounding sandwich. Super fancy and impressive. When it came out, I was blown away. It was massive and it was yummy! I sat at their little coffee bar and Sam and Jacob took really great care of me! Sam had a hot chocolate in my hands in a matter of moments, and then I saw one of their specialty lattes (the little Debbie cake Xmas one) and wow! I will def be back! It looks like a show stopper! Ari, the owner, personally came over and asked about my experience. I told him the service had been great, the food and drink hot and yummy, and the customers personable and wonderful. Ari told me the restaurant was named after his grandparents hotel in upstate New York. I loved how he chose that as the inspiration for the places name. This was such a great find and wonderful experience. I highly suggest you check it out! read more

Honestly for a diner I was shocked how good this was. The waitress was super kind, friendly loved some good banter. Place was busy! Love to see a local business thrive. Little bit old on the inside, but the real impressive part was the food. The potato skin Benedict, should be on every diner menu I go to. I will forever think about this experience it was that good and that filing! The blt was massive! Look at all that turkey! The chicken wings weren't bad, not my fave the cranberry type sauce was a bit odd but definitely different. Stick to the diner food guys it's a great little spot in seekonk! read more

There was a 10 minute wait for a table, but we got seats at the bar immediately. In the waiting area they had a little kids play pen, which seemed like a nice touch. Sitting at the bar by the front, it was also neat to see the hostess and waitresses welcoming some guests by name, or stopping by to say hi to someone while they were waiting for a table. It was our first time there, but it's clearly a regular spot for many! We got a veggie and cheese omelette and the potato skin Benedict. Omelette was large and the cheese was generous! The potato skin Benedict was great too, it's the loaded-potato-skins-meets-bene and it's just as good as you're picturing. Ari, the owner, came out of the kitchen to introduce himself and check in a few minutes after the food arrived, another nice touch. It's a bit farther drive than our usual breakfast spots but I'm glad we gave it a try, it may be our new go-to! read more

Great food, friendly staff. The Texas French toast was delicious. Super friendly staff and good prices. Highly recommended.

First time experience. The service was friendly. It's a local friendly diner. Very clean! I have to compliment the young man cleaning the tables! Nicely done!! I ordered the avocado toast , side of bacon. it was good. The menu is extensive with daily special. I'll have to explore the menu further.I know there's got to be a gem in there to order. There's a good size parking area. It's busy so my suggestion is go early or expect to wait a bit. read more

I was staying in Barrington, RI and one day I ordered some breakfast via Doordash. Hamilton Diner showed up and it looked like it had a decent price. I ordered the Hamilton Kitchen Sink. What's in it? What's not in it? Pancakes topped with eggs, sausages, bacon and gravy. The portion size for takeout was pretty good relative to the price. The Hamilton Kitchen Sink is by no means a "light breakfast" but I I enjoyed it, bringing together a lot of flavors from classic diner food. I can't comment on anything about the physical diner, just that my order seemed to be fulfilled in a timely manner. If I'm in the area again, maybe I'll try eatting in there. read more

Really friendly staff. I had a special BBQ brisket sandwich with bacon, cheese, & fried eggs on a biscuit. It was really good! The cold brew did its job and my waitress helped me decide on peppermint mocha. I haven't had that flavor in years! Cozy, comforting, glad I was able to take a moment with myself and sink into the booth. read more

Came for the biscuits and gravy with over medium eggs and home fries with onions and peppers. All the food was good I really like the fact they mix the onions and peppers in the potatoes and not just place them on top. Our waitress was Ashley and she was very pleasant and helpful. She is very professional and knowledgeable about the menu. Even the owner stopped and the table to check up on us to make sure everything was good. This is a very cool restaurant to have breakfast at. The ambiance here is very casual and the service and food here is amazing not the franchise place the servers you quickly everything here is personable and friendly. I will be back again!!! read more

Wow! This place really gets it. You can tell by the clientele that everyone enjoys coming here. You've got the older crowd that likes the classic breakfast choices, but you also have a younger crowd that comes in for the creative specials like the Barbacoa Benedict and the eggnog latte. These are the two items I had, and they were out of this world. The place is super casual, but very cute. The waitress was very inviting and encouraged us to come back and try some of the other specials that they've had before. I'm looking forward to having their sausage gravy! She raved about it. read more

One more trip here in the books. Had the chicken orzo soup and mushroom burger. Soup very good fresh, tasty maybe a little salty. The burger was so good I didn't get a picture. I was almost done with it when I remembered. My mom and sister also enjoyed their choices. The service was great, owner came to make sure everything was goods. Very layers back vibe. read more

This was probably the best breakfast we've ever had on the East Coast! Portions were HUGE, the home fries were perfection! I knew it was going to be great when they said they had EGG NOG LATTES!! We are from CA and were fascinated that they offered baked beans instead of home fries. We asked to try a small sample and they generously obliged. Sweet but also savory and smoky too. I get why baked beans are a thing in Massachusetts! Such a warm, local, hometown vibe here where everyone is so incredibly friendly and kind. Our wonderful waitress was Jessica and she was delightful! We loved her Eastern accent! read more

-Woke up this morning and was like I need to do a review. I want to start doing more and do at least one review a week. I am hungry and I do want breakfast.. Do I go to the same spot in Providence that's always consistant. Wait... I have to do a review today to start my once a week routine. Where to go... I have been hearing about this newer spot in Seekonk which is right down the road from Riverside. Ok, My mind is made up, let's head over there and find out what's going on. I take a right into the parking lot ( which is is behind the building and It IS PACKED but I manage to find a spot to park. 1st step accomplished.:-) -There is a small line out the door, I walk my way in to the front desk which is in the back of the building and a very nice young woman greets me and I ask how long the wait and she tells me 35-45 minutes. In my mind I was like maybe I just leave and head to Providence but I was no, Mike you have to do a review today. Let's give this place a shot. They ask for my phone number and tell me they will text me when a table frees up. 30 minutes later I get a text and I get brought my table. ( super nice wait staff here! I can't give them enough credit on how nice everyone is here! :-). She's asks me if I wanted a drink, and I didn't look at the menu yet and was like Bloody Mary? She informed very nicely they don't serve alcohol here so one large ice water it is. I get my Large ice water in like 3 minutes, I had looked at the menu during that time which was a pretty nice menu but not too big to get over whelmed. She asked me if I wanted to order and I told her the classic eggs Benedict with ham please. She took my order and off she went, again the wait staff here are super awesome! On to start to soaking the place in and get a feel for the surroundings, the atmosphere, peoples reactions, the cleanliness, Vibe check is good everyone around is smiling eating, just having a great time! -Everything is super clean, no spots on the silverware, tables are very Clean, the booth is clean and boom! Food is out and piping hot and it looks delicous! She gave me the food and asked me if I needed anything else which I then asked for hot sauce which I get a choice of tabasco or Chalula. I chose the Chalula Sorry if I ramble too much on to the Review of the Food - The Classic Benny with ham, and too boot you get three poached eggs and three pieces of some really nice thick cut nicely seared ham. Eggs are poached to perfection with great yolk spill lol. The Hollandaise sauce was spot on. The only thing I was a little disappointed on was the the English muffins were kind soggy, they didn't have a crunch to them at all. -Homefries, This was interesting, They were cooked pretty good, next time I would order them crispy for a better texture, but what was this taste they had? It was boggling my mind and I'm not sure If I liked it or didn't like it. At one point in my head they reminded me of the potatoes in a clam chowder. I ate most of them but it was weird. I finished my food and got my check and once again to the staff there, Keep on doing what you are doing you all are great!!!! Before I get up this woman th works starts asking how the service and fold was and I told her like this Staff is great Place is super clean Food was good but what is in the home fries as seasoning as it was still baffling my mind. She told me her husband that is the cook said its a blend of spices. Again another great person on the staff!!!! The ride home I'm scratching my head still about these home fries. I go into the the spice cabinet and I think Chowder and Clam cakes. A spark went off in my head and I grabbed the old bay and tasted it and I think that is what I'm tasting in these home fries. One will never know unless thy tell me. -Great place -Great staff -Great atmosphere Great pricing -Good food I will return to try the next dish! Thanks, Mike : Ordered the classic Benny read more

The only food I have had at The Hamilton Diner is breakfast. I ordered pancakes and bacon. The bacon was way over cooked, dry and brittle and the blueberry pancake was thick and dry. It seemed like it had been made earlier and then reheated. Pancakes should be made to order and they should be tender and fluffy. Not at The Hamilton diner! Also, the eggs were way over cooked and dry. Little pebbles. Both times I was there the food was consistent. Both times, to me, it was inedible. Coffee was good. Service was rushed, they were busy. Not my jam. read more

Sorry no pictures. Went with 5 people for breakfast. I do not like breakfast food. It may have been the best place I have ever had breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly. Everyone was happy. That was a first for me with breakfast. Someone always complains about their eggs. Waitresses was amazing. The list of specials was long. Place was clean and friendly. Plenty of room. read more

I was on the way back from a vacation in Mass with the family when we randomly got off the highway to look for a diner and stumbled upon this place. Breakfast all day. Great coffee. Great service and just a short wait on a Sunday at about 11 am. What's not to like. Great value too. read more

Excellent breakfast with large portions and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Visited the Hamilton diner for the first time today. I'm so glad that we decided to go here over any other place. We had a party at five and they sat us down immediately. I was actually shocked at how many tables there were in this restaurant. The waitress was amazing. When she came over, she was super friendly and shared a list of specials that they had for the day. She took her order pretty quickly. I really liked that they had cappuccinos and lattes, as I don't always like regular coffee. I had a salted caramel latte that was great! Our son also loved that they had coffee milk. I ordered a skillet with spinach, tomato, onion, and feta. It was served on a bit of red skin home fries that were delicious. It came with my choice of toast, I had the marble rye. Our daughter had an Nutella special waffle and finished every last bite. Our son had the chocolate chip pancakes, and they came with four giant pancakes, so much food that he had to take home. During our breakfast, the owner came over and spoke to us. It was really nice to see the owner walking around and talking to people. This place is definitely my new favorite breakfast restaurant and we will definitely be back. If you're looking for a place with a good selection and great quality in addition to excellent service this is your place. read more

Great breakfast, staff is kind and wonderful. A great way to start your weekend morning.

I've been here a few times and it is pretty average, but a place I would return to. Their food isn't great but I would say it's pretty good. Their home fires and sausage is not good at all in my opinion. Their pancakes and bacon is fine, that's what I got the last time, and they also had this drink, which I think is a limited edition, and was a cinnamon latte and is pretty good (which is attached). The service and ambiance is always great here though! read more

If you have kiddos, they just put up a nice outside slide and picnic tables. read more

1st time going here. Cinnamon bun latte- delicious- very good even had microfoam. Was not expecting this at all for a restaurant latte. Coffee- delicious. Fresh squeezed oj- amazing. I ordered the small which was a generous size for the price! Steak bomb omelette- the steak was beautifully seasoned and the mushrooms may have been portobello they had a nice chew/bite to them. Had cheese in it but not overdone on the cheese. My husband had biscuits and gravy. He's a tough critic on this dish and he said this one is at the top of the list compared to ones he's had at other restaurants. It came with eggs and homefries on the side. The marble rye he ordered on the side ,it was nice and thick and had a really nice chew to it. The service was wonderful. From the hostess to the server and the owners. It's evident that the owners care about the patrons experience as they stopped by to ask about our experience) Very calming and warm atmosphere. This breakfast spot appeals to all generations as we saw people of all ages eating here. They have something for everyone. Definitely recommending this place to family and friends. Can't wait to go back to try their lunch menu. read more

This place is amazing. Just finished a great meal here. Greeted immediately, place was busy and told it would be 15 min wait which was right on point. Service by Ashley was excellent . Avocado toast for me and a chicken BLT wrap for hubs. Both excellent. Despite the volume of customers, the owner stopped by our table to check in. Kid friendly with little play area in vestibule if there is a wait. Also has an ice cream stand behind the restaurant. Property and dining area very clean.
