Nice portion size for a decent price. Plenty of seating. The stuffed French toast and Monkey Melt were good. Am personally not a fan of roasted turkey breast and prefer sliced deli turkey which is why we rated it 4 stars. read more

We had an amazing breakfast at The Hungry Monkey. I am so impressed by this delicious location and their amazing service. Not only was the food delicious but they also have an eating challenge. Over 500 people have attempted the challenge and as of now only 12 have completed it!! If you're a big eater and are looking for a challenge - you have to check this out. This is actually the reason we found out about this spot. A YouTuber came and posted a video online - he did conquer the challenge. We did not (we didn't even try). Anyways, the inside is cosy with cute diner vibes and they have a large and expansive menu. You definitely don't want to miss out on this spot. If you're in Newport I recommend driving to this location!! But definitely go out of your way to stop by. read more

Cute brunch place in Newport! Loved the prices and food here! The stuffed French toast is amazing and service was really quick and easy! Definitely a more homey style option in Newport rather than all the upscale places. read more

I went here with some friends. It is cutely decorated with pictures of a sock monkey visiting many places. My son had a sock monkey that he always took around when he was little so that brought a fond memory. The seating is nice. We got a nice one by the window and the bench had nice pillows on it which I loved. I had the banana stuffed French toast that was delicious. I also got a hot chocolate since a cold day. The waitress was very nice and checked in with us. There is street parking on Broadway. read more

My friends and I stopped by here for Sunday brunch. The wait can be long so I suggest going early if you can. We each got the bottomless coffee and we all thought it was the worst finer coffee we've ever had. It tasted like brown water. Our waitress never asked to fill it up again but we wouldn't have wanted it anyway. I got the spicy monkey breakfast burrito with turkey bacon and it was ok. The home fries were the star of the show and perfectly spiced and salty. read more

I'm not a very happy person right know , my husband and I were in your dinner over this past weekend (10/10/26)enjoyed our breakfast paid with a credit card and the next thing we know our credit card is being hit with another charge on 10/12/2026 . There is no way it's us doing it we live in Connecticut. We did contact the credit card company and closed it out . Not sure who it is or was but not cool. read more

Extremely disappointing breakfast experience at The Hungry Monkey. We were there on 8/15 around 10:30 a.m., and halfway through my meal I found a blonde hair in my food. I immediately told our waitress, and she took the plate back to the kitchen. What happened next was unbelievable. She brought back the SAME plate of food I had already eaten halfway through, except the hair was now gone, and told me they "couldn't find the hair." At that point, I obviously had no interest in continuing to eat it. To make matters worse, they didn't even take the meal off the bill or offer to make it right. We were charged full price. The food was cold and honestly wasn't very good to begin with, and our waitress's attitude throughout the situation made an already unpleasant experience even worse. I left extremely disappointed. Newport has so many great breakfast options--don't waste one of your meal experiences here. I certainly wouldn't return. read more

Churro French toast was sinful. Very nice service. Would go back again. Bathroom wasn't great but otherwise a great breakfast

I had a traffic breakfast! The food was great with large portions. The service was awesome too. Take it in !

We've eaten here before and we continue to perform our, "is it as good as it used to be" test. They pass with flying colors. The ambiance screams "local,casual" and it's such a good feeling. The ability to walk in and sit right down reminds me of why we love Newport in the winter. As cool as all of that is, the food continues to be the star. The pancakes are arguably the most flavorful I've had. The hash is excellent! The special was a Churro Stuffed French toast. Oh man! So rich. Staff is friendly as always! read more

Great food, excellent service. We've been here many times for both breakfast and lunch and always have been happy with the experience

I forgot to take a picture of the best thing on the menu which is the monkey bread to start off your breakfast. If you go it's an absolute must to share with on the table. We went on December 31st so it was a long wait and they made everyone stand outside. That wasn't my favorite thing on a chilly day and I would plan accordingly going back in the winter. The pancakes were good as was the bacon but the omelette wasn't anything special and definitely not worth the super long wait. This is a well known diner in Newport and the Monkey bread alone is worth the visit but be prepared for a wait on weekends. read more

This place needs to get it together missing out on so much money. I'm in town for a work conference staying at our hotel so I don't have a car. GrubHub and DoorDash are the only way I can get food outside of the hotel. Three different times they have no showed and canceled my order at the last minute. A simple breakfast order that they cannot even handle what a sad place. read more

Sunday with wife walking Newport. The hungry monkey plays 70's tunes, has a welcoming staff, and a great diner menu. Traditional Benedict was awesome (wife is picky). I tried the Redneck Bebe was a yummy and decadent gravy trip. (Easema from Emperors New Groove would not like but I loved it) Love these guys. Aelwesome food and vibe. read more

I love this place. Usually, never a wait, depending on the time you get there. They can fill up and pick up quickly. Usually, anytime before 8, you're good. The service is great. Servers are friendly and always have a smile. Especially mariana. Have to say she does it all. I had her both times I was there. Quick , to get you ordered and situated. Running orders making coffee. Topping off your coffee when needed. She remembers her customers from what I see. So when I went to pay I told her it was my last day there. Told her I would be back in Oct. Thank you for the service. She was kind to inform me that there is a food festival that is coming up before my next visit. Which is great seeing as I love good. So now I have looked into that and will have to make an extra trip before October, which is not an issue, seeing as I love the food in that area. read more

This restaurant was the perfect distance away from downtown and wasn't jam packed with tourists. They have ample seating and customers are encouraged to sit wherever you like. They have a large breakfast and lunch menu, most meals are around $10 and the portions are generous. The wait staff were friendly and prompt. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to others. read more

The eggs are amazing and so flavorful!! What a unique place with so many different internationally inspired versions of eggs Benedict. Never seen a menu like it before! Very quick service and I loved looking at all the framed memorabilia on the wall. Absolutely recommend! read more

We caught a rainy morning while visiting Newport, so we decided to stop in somewhere for breakfast to plan our day. I like that the menu is small, but still has lots of options. I got the light meal of egg whites, turkey bacon, fruit. Added a side of sourdough toast. The portions are MASSIVE and I got full halfway through. My toast was burnt. Coffee has endless refills. We got lucky to come in when slow, so we got our choice of table and service was great. I like the benches that wrap around to add seating. And got to people watch as people walked by. It was a nice, simple spot to start with the day. read more

We've been here twice and the food is great, stuffed French toast and waffles, a delicious breakfast burrito, good coffee...thinking about it definitely makes me a hungry monkey! The service on the weekend is what's lacking- specifically the hostess.. We asked to put our name on the waitlist and knew it would be a 30 minute wait. We stood outside the whole time and noticed that the hostess started taking parties that showed up after us.. we asked her if she called our name (we knew she didn't because we stood there the whole time very attentively). She said she had but she couldn't even find us on her list... I know good help is hard to come by these days, but please train this gal on how to properly be a hostess or find a better system. We didn't get to experience the ambiance inside since we were given an open table outside that the server was clearly instructed to pick up in addition to her section- she wasn't too happy when she greeted us, but then was fine when she brought us our drinks. Luckily the food has been amazing both times we've been here and that outweighed the hostess having no idea what she was doing. read more

An okay place to grab some brunch, especially if you don't want to wait a Corner Cafe amount of time! I got the Irish style eggs Benedict and blueberry stuffed French toast. The Benny was decent but the hollandaise wasn't as flavorful as others I've had and the poached eggs were a bit overcooked as the yolks weren't very runny. The blueberry stuffed French toast was just okay. The blueberries didn't have a great texture and just felt gummy and wrinkly. read more

My initial review of this place was from almost seven years ago and it was an easy five stars! This is now my second and last ever time going here in the past month and I truly wish I could rate them lower. I ordered two spicy money burritos which is essentially a breakfast burrito and to my disappointment the burrito tastes like "Dawn" dish soap. The sad part is about two months ago I went here and got the same order and left because my burrito tasted like dish soap which I chopped up to a bad day for the cook. This is now the second time I have gotten this crappy food and I will not be back and will recommend against this establishment. If you do not believe me, order the burrito and taste for yourself. The cook is either truly incompetent or an ass. The service has depleted at this establishment where now it's like they do not even care to be nice. They expect their auto tip and do not care about anything. Get rid of the cook and stop making your burritos taste like damn soap as the first time was accepted but now the second time you are just rushing to leave for the day or your service is so damn bad no one wants to come here anymore. I will not take my service to the Corner Cafe. read more

I wanted to love this place but it completely fell short. In search of a Sunday breakfast spot we found the Hungry Monkey. I was excited to see a whole eggs Benedict section on the menu and figured we'd give it a try. We sat at the counter top and were served by a friendly waitress. The food took quite a while to make it out of the kitchen but I was hopeful it would be worth it. I got the Florentine Benedict. The eggs were over cooked and one was filled with hot water as a stuck my knife into it. This ultimately ruined everything else in my plate as it became filled with water. The potatoes were basically inedible. Covered with paprika and zero salt. They had no taste and were as hard as a rock. It looks like this spot struggles with consistency in their food and unfortunately it's not a gamble worth taking. read more

Not even going to lie, I only came here for breakfast because the corner cafe down the street was packed and I wasnt willing to wait but it honestly worked out for the best. The potatoes we well cooked and well seasoned and the breakfast burrito was delicious as well, even without the sausage. I even got to try out a grilled muffin. That whole meal plus the coffee coming out to about $20 made me a happy camper. Would definitely recommend. read more
