"The Diner on Elmwood has everything you want. The food is delicious, they give you generous portions, and it’s priced very nicely. Side note: they also make some of the BEST New York System hot wieners in all of Rhode Island. The staff is great, very friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere inside the diner is awesome. Old school, clean, and classic songs on in the background. You can’t go wrong here. I recommend them to everyone."

"Small hole in the wall diner with counter service, 4 indoor booths and 3 outdoor tables. Small menu with eggs, omelets, pancakes waffles and french toast. Ham and eggs included 2 large slices of ham and potatoes, which were quite tasty and toast. Quite a large meal. Service was quick and friendly and prices were quite low. Well worth a return visit. Excellent waffle with warm cinnamon apples and whipped cream! Health food!"
