“It's a RI staple that hits the spot just right. I walked in, ordered 5 hot weiners all the way with a small cheese fry, a small fry, and a coffee milk with a couple of waters for myself and my gf. In about a minute I have my food that's freshly made right in front of me. I sat down and started on my three hot weiners. They have a really good combination of flavors going on. The meat sauce and hot weiner offer meaty saltiness, which pairs well with the strong chopped onions and celery salt. Now the key to this not just being a meaty salt bomb is the spread of mustard layered between the weiner and the meat sauce. The bit of tang from the mustard balances that saltiness and rounds everything out. After the weiners I started eating my cheese fries. One of the most common disappointments of cheese fries is the soggy fry that usually results from having the fries covered in cheese sauce. They don't have that problem here. The fries come out so hot, fresh, and crispy that they can hold their own against the dense cheese sauce. I found myself licking my finger tips when eating this. I also tried their coffee milk, which my gf ordered, and it delivered on what I expect from coffee milk. I grew up with coffee milk being an occasional treat that I'd get as a kid if my parents were taking me through RI or even in parts where I'm from in eastern CT. It's not as common to see it as it used to be but their coffee milk delivered on the nostalgic flavor. We ordered some more hot weiners all the way to take home and I'm so glad that we did. In my opinion, the hour or so that the hot weiners sat in the bag made them even better. By the time we got home and started eating our to go order, the meat juices and onions really got a chance to marry together and made them into something that I now kinda crave. If you want a hearty, working class, regional, fast food that has character, give them a go.Parking: They have plenty of parking. I can't see them having any real parking issues for regular vehicles.“
“Reopened and under new management!! Marissa is the new wonderful, smiling, eager-to-please owner of this cozy Cranston diner. Delicious home-made breakfast (all day!) and lunch... highly recommend a satisfying and amazing egg+whatever-you-want bagel sandwich, with a coffee! Way better than Harriets and Athenas!“
“This is a VERY tiny diner and it's worth the wait for seating...Food is delicious, service is friendly and fantastic. Groovy train car diner that's a real throw back.Good food with large portionsYou will not regret waiting for seating“
“Very good breakfast, omelet with bacon and sausage and cheese. Nice portion size, I'm not on the light side and easily filled me up! ?Minor but good part was they actually give you a decent amount of home fries.Stacy was the waitress. Good service and thanks for the timely refills.Definitely will be back next time I'm nearby.“
“Small old diner, but clean and well maintained. 6 booths and about a dozen stools at the counter. Menu is small with the basic breakfast choices. (They also serve lunch) Nothing fancy, no benedicts, no wraps, no egg sandwiches, no waffles. Service was quick and friendly and prices were a bit lower than other comparable diners in the area. The food was quite tasty and well prepared. Very serviceable diner if you are in the area.“
“Amazing. Their prices and decor are like still in the 90s. Everything was good. Classic diner style. Spectacular pricing for simple breakfast items. 3 eggs, toast and home fries for only $3.95.They have a large Parking lot in the front and back. Everything a diner would have; corned beef hash etc but they also make so much stuff in house! They had their own homemade breads, their own jams and jelly.The most reasonable prices. It was busy even at 1pm on a Wednesday. Most of the customers were over age 50.I would say the home fries were just okay but there was sooo much food (for so cheap) that I ended up taking them home and reheating them on a pan and they were great.It’s not like a “5-star” place but the pricing is just amazing and everything was good. Including the service and the speed in which our food and drinks came out. So efficient and quick. Loved it. Will definitely be back. Cannot beat these prices and efficiency.“
“Our waitress Chelsea was extraordinarily attentive - she refilled my iced tea when she noticed my glass was empty. While the breakfast menu is standard for RI, the fruit salad was not. It was wonderful and all the menu items were affordable. We will be back.“
“Fantastic Awesome incredible restaurant. The food is Delicious very reasonably priced. The quality is excellent. The employees are as great as a summer day. Highly recommend. You can take your family or yourself to a very nice atmosphere and enjoy a small business the way business were many years ago. Owners are Awesome. You can't go wrong except by not trying it out. ????“
“This is the best restaurant for families, food, service and atmosphere. The food is not skimpy at all. Prices are great. This has been my family favorite for years and years. You will end up making it a point to get here multiple times a week or month. They serve everything. Breakfast,lunch and some different dinner type options. Fish and chips are the best also. The owners are the nicest people ever.JT's Restaurant #1 in JohnstonParking: Lots of space to parkKid-friendliness: They are super kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“They are always polite. My meals are always ready to go when I get there. Service with a smile and delicious food is the key for me. Not to mention the custard French toast is out of this world!

“JESSE'S IS A DEFINITE MUST TRY !! ALL THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT!! AND OWNER AND HIS DAUGHTER'S ARE EXCELLENT PEOPLE !! THIS MAN OPERATES HIS PLACE WITH VERY OLD SCHOOL TRADITION VALUES EVERYTHING IS MADE FROM FRESH !! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED !“
“I absolutely Love the vegetarian omelette with a side of crispy bacon!!I'm never disappointed. Food is just something good may have to wait a little bit but you can call in and place an order to pick up. The place could use a facelift but it definitely has that diner vibe??Vegetarian options: Their Vegetarian omelette is the best!! Home fries are decent and I Love that I can get crispy bacon!!!“
“The new owner is very respectful and has updated the building quite a bit from what I've heard from other people that know him and for me speaking with him he is a true gentleman and is true businessman and is a good businessman and a good man from what I've experienced I would highly recommend Phoenix Hotel and the owner, if you're looking for a good place to live for a short turn or long term. The new owner has class and cares about his properties that's enough for me, that says a lot about a person thank you Tyler“
“Found this diner in a travel guide, received a high rating. A bit of a drive to get to and street parking in the area is tight, due to other businesses. The diner is located in a strip of attached businesses. It’s cute on the inside. Old fashioned feel to it. The food was okay, a little light in the serving size. I was still hungry afterwards. The one negative was one of the wait staff was incredibly bothered about something and was sharing the thoughts with the air. Otherwise, they were fine with the customers, but walking into the waitstaff’s annoyance was a little stressful. If I return, I would order something different. I would recommend, it is a cozy diner.“
“We went for the first time today. Breakfast was slow but worth the wait. After we finished, we learned that only cash was accepted for payment. Fortunately we had enough. We overpaid, expecting change but none came. The waitress took a 25% tip when we wanted to give her a 20% tip. Otherwise, it was very good.“
“Went with a group and in total we had 10 people. Made the reservation in advance with Google and that was super easy. Our waitress was quick, attentive, fun and witty. The food here is always great, this time I did a half order of "Pop's" biscuits with sausage gravy. Delicious!! Also did their unlimited apple cider mimosas and I was definitely feeling good. Highly recommend:)“
“I’m a sucker for diners, I love the atmosphere of them. Not only are you able to get the old school diner feel (which is what I desire), but if you travel to the back bar you can experience a more modern approach. The staff is exceptional and realistic; they provide excellent service while being true to how busy they get. I could go and wait at any other restaurant close by and get on their 45min-1hour wait on a Sunday, but consciously choose to wait out for West Side Diner instead. It’s not just about the food, it’s everything that encompasses a diner found in this hidden gem of Providence.“
“First place my dad took me when I came back home and honestly so happy he did! The food was so fresh and the staff was super friendly. You can taste the care and time they took to prepare the food. They have both American and Guatemalan breakfast and lunch options depending on what you are feeling. It was great way to welcome me back home!“
“Denny's always provides great food and great service. I would like you to recognize April, from the Johnston restaurant how absolutely awesome she is. Sweet always a smile on your face and always helps you with your orderParking: Johnston Rhode Island always has plenty of parking“
“Still great place to stop with my grandkids instead of fast food while training 2 and 4yo for restaurant dining experience. Clean location and restrooms Service was attentive to kids, crayons to color, kid menu, waitress was kind, and even the chef stopped at table to check on us. Very friendly at our NK location visit after fun day at Wilson park. Highly Recommend change it up from fast food. Give the experience to little ones.Kid-friendliness: Good selection kids menu. Ordered Mac n cheese with fruit and burger, and they split each dish.Wheelchair accessibility: User friendly even rest room.“
“Delicious Food & Good Vibes!!Went there with my wife and kids for breakfast today and what a treat it was. The food was hot, fresh and flavorful like a home cooked meal. Everything was a 10/10 We will be back for sure!Parking: No need to worry about parkingKid-friendliness: My kids loved it, My son ordered an order of French toast and my daughter and order of chocolate chip pancakes and they could not stop raving about how good it was.“
