About Ernies Restaurant

Ernie's Restaurant is a local favorite, known for serving delicious breakfast in a super clean kitchen. This cozy diner-style spot offers great vegetarian options, including a popular vegan sausage. It’s a hidden gem that provides friendly service, though it can get busy and understaffed. Customers can expect satisfying, well-cooked breakfast classics, like simple egg sandwiches, fluffy pancakes, and eggs Benedict, though some dishes might be a bit bland. Generous portions and reasonable prices make it appealing to families and visitors. The owner is known for her incredible ability to manage the room, making service feel like home. By the time diners leave, there is often a solid crowd waiting for tables, a good sign of its popularity. If someone is looking for modern twists or fancy dishes, this isn’t it. Instead, Ernie's is the spot for a solid, satisfying breakfast that feels like a part of Block Island’s rhythm. Be prepared to bring cash and be patient, as the food is worth the wait.
