Good honest food from a hard working Greek family. A must stop when we visit Newport, RI . The French toast was nice and custard like the bacon nice and crisp. The Gyro omelet was delicious the meat was fresh and moist the seasoning carried through the whole omelet the tomatoes and onions where a nice addition. The homemade Chorizo hash is a nice change from the traditional canned hash. The coffee is also quite delicious! The staff is friendly and welcoming and the food is served quickly. The decor is clean and typical for a greasy spoon there are booths tables and seating at the counter.

Extremely dirty. Counter sitting has knee slime all along the base of the counter from people's knees hitting the wall. Floors along the kitchen have a thick crust of food. The little alcove that houses the bathroom has a broom that is thick with grease as well as the floor. The waitress seems nice but not attentive to customers. We had to ask for more coffee, extra napkins, ice for the water she gave me. Now on to the food. My potatoes had tons of burnt bits in them. Not sure what it was. I asked for over medium eggs they looked weird. Not sure what the orange/ rust color stuff was that was all over them. I asked for well done toast. What I received was not well it was a weird kind of cook yet it was soggy. With also red stuff on it. Nothing i ordered was red. Although my husband did order chourico which looked like linguicia. It didn't taste like chourico either but the waitress assured us it was and that the brand was Michaels. He asked for scrambled hard and he received eggs that hadn't been scrambled because the egg whites were visible. I've tried this spot before and it wasn't any better than it just seems worse. Unfortunate to let a business run itself into the ground. Side note the older gentleman cooking seems super nice.

Bland not great weird flavors not a great meal. Bacon was good pancake was a weird flavor along with the home fries and the toast was just iffy.

It’s a little breakfast and lunch place. It looks a little run down, but the food is really good and staff very friendly. Also you can’t beat the prices. Lots of the locals go here every morning.

I have been coming here for about 40 years now and my family loves this place for years. Old world diners with good for and staff that treats you like family are far and few between these days., so if you are in Newport this is a must dine in????

Inexpensive breakfast with no waiting. It was good for a quick bite before we headed home. Not much in the way of ambiance but food was delish!
