“I was out and about exploring Rhode Island when I happened to stumble across this hidden gem called Modern Diner in the city of Pawtucket. All the times ive gone to pawtucket and somehow I missed this? Well I had to end that and decided the following weekend i would go and check it out with my family. As we approached i got my nostalgia butterfly's and was super excited to see the inside as the outaide looks like someone opened a time capsule and put this here (and the gas station across the street) and for anyone who dont know me, im a big history buff and love historical things which I found out this place was the first diner ever put on the national register of historic places. As I walked in i noticed one side (the right) was more modernized and not part of the 1940s streamliner. I let the hostess know I want the left side (The Streamliner). After a short wait we got called up where I entered into the streamliner and immediately gained a huge smile. This thing was like walking into a museum that you can eat in, from the old clock on the wall, the microphone to make announcements or call order numbers on and so much more. Now the big question is how's the food going to be, I ordered like I havent ate in 3 days. Bacon, eggs (overeasy), toast, custard French toast with fruits, a eggs Benedict with American bacon plus the ham and then orange juice and coffee. Of course the first thing I had was bacon and immediately after biting into the bacon my eyes lit up. The bacon was cooked to perfection, litarally a couple crunches and the rest melted in my mouth, the hollandaise sauce had so much flavor, the eggs had plenty of yoke for my toast, at this point I needed another coffee because mannnn, I felt like I was in heaven. I then started to eat the french toast with custard and although I kept being mad at myself for not getting a bacon egg and cheese omelet it was cool to try something different and something that was their specialty and on The Food Network. All in all, ill be back for that omelet but if you havent tried this place, GO THERE AND GET YOUR FOOD ON. They close at 1pm so get there early because there will be a wait but its well worth it. Huge shout out to this place for TRULY keeping it original. 💯”
