Farnsworth Cafe

Significantly improved breakfast. Have never been there for lunch or dinner but breakfast is a ⁵⁄₅.

Classic diner. Good food, fast friendly efficient service, great prices. Coffee is good, hot, often refreshed. The place is very busy on Sunday morning but worth the wait. Looking forward to a casual dinner there.

Good place to get Breakfast. I have never tried them for lunch or dinner, but has become one of my spots for breakfast. My favorite are the omlets, never had a bad breakfast there.

Best Fish n Chips in Rhode Island. I travel down from the Boston area to have them. Worth every penny. The meatloaf dinner is great too. The staff is friendly. Typical counter and small four — seven table seating section. Food is cooked well, however, so expect it to be a little slow. Worth the trip!

I was excited to try this place when I was told it was mostly all house made food. I don’t believe this is true, a lot of it is fried and seems like frozen food to me. I think it’s what most of us would call a «blue haired» establishment — filling meal and a low price with a diner ambience. I don’t think I’ll be going back, but if you do, make sure you ask what I was made in what is not. The service was also incredibly slow in there only for the people in the restaurant. We waited at least 15 minutes for drinks and probably closer to a half hour for food

Love this café for breakfast we visit once a month. They have it all at great prices. My favorite is the Benedict. It’s amazing with ham and a side of hash brown. Also good are their big omelets with any veggies. Pancakes are fluffy add strawberrys and whip cream, you won’t regret it! It’s always super packed but the wait isn’t much more then 5min and staff is super friendly always checking how we are. Our 2yr son loves their shredded hash browns too.
If your looking for a local breakfast spot on Sunday’s this is it.

Gyro was a little on the small side. The apple blossom (like an apple dumpling) was delicious, though. I swing by here from time to time, when I’m in the area.

Got there at 11:45. Wasn’t told breakfast ended at 12 until waitress came by said you have 3 min to order. Staff not so friendly and food was just ok. No one came to check if the food was okay and we had everything we needed after the food was delivered. Waitress had the personality of a wet noodle and she wasn’t overtly friendly courteous. A lot of employees present. Too bad they are all watching tv. Eating dry burnt toast with no jelly sucks. Wasn’t asked if we were done and bill was handed to us.

Given how totally average this place was, I find myself unrationally smitten.
Would never have wandered down this way for brunch had I not been en route to Bristol. It’s not worth a special trip, but it is authentically «townie» if you happen to find yourself in the neighborhood and are interested in viewing some awesome Riverside throwback decorations (photos from the resort glory days of yore– carousel, etc). Or if you want to sample the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever seen or tasted. Or if you like your coffee refilled at lightning speed.
I happily tried the «Mack and Hash». The Mack, egg and cheese on an English muffin, was standard. Well done for what it was but it was nothing special. The hash was yummy — but I think hash should be its own food group I love it so much… so I may not be the best judge. The home fries need some work. Not pan fried with onions or peppers like I’m used to — these home fries were deep fried like French fries. They tasted like French fires. They were French fries cut like home fries… which I found a bit disturbing yet somehow still loved that this was how they roll.
Servers as warm and quick as they come.
Diners a mix of high school kids in their pajama pants, retired couples, and families.
Curious to try the «benedict» that uses creamy alfredo sauce and spinach instead of hollandaise.
Nothing special on the food front, but very warm and welcoming if you need your townie fix.
oh — and they have beer! not that I like beer with brunch, but like any good townie stronghold, they’re open 6am-​8pmish. Free delivery after 4!
