Drunk Johnny is a winner. For like $11 you get a ton of food. It's not amazing food or anything - super greasy actually - but the way my friends and I agreed why we like the place is that if we were still broke and in college it would be the perfect place to be hungover on a Sunday morning. Retro diner type vibe in there with lots of magazine/comic clippings on the wall. Free refills on coffee too which is great for that morning after recap. Nice service too.

Been here several times. We only had breakfast. They do serve lunch. Diners, Drive In and Dives was here in the past. A lot of students because it is close to Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design. Small restaurant. A lot of wall art and photos everywhere. As far as the food great pancakes and egg dishes. The waiters and waitress's were very attentive. Will continue to go for a great breakfast

I visited this space for the first time when there was a pop up Cuban restaurant: El Colibri! The food was out of this world and the decor is super fun, too.

Probably a goner....i went here years ago and thought I had fond memories of it being really good- maybe it was the alcohol?? I tried it again with my family of four and ordered online....food was done timely which is great when you have two kids that think waiting 10 minutes is a lifetime. We ordered one omelette, side of bacon, 2 orders of home fries, a breakfast sandwich and a side of linguica....there's no option to choose the bread for the sandwich and the omelette doesn't say it comes with toast and home fries....so I called right after ordering and requested the sandwich be made on an everything bagel....i arrive to pickup and request utensils which she states are in the bag...we get the food to the car and notice we are short an order of home fries and an order of pancakes- also no utensils (my yellow handwritten slip does not show the 2 orders of home fries or the 2 pancake orders, but it's reflected in my order summary and receipt from ordering.... No big deal....i run back in and explain- the woman yells to the waitress to put the order in...I again ask for utensils and she tells me again they're in the bag- i had to request them anyways (again not the end of the world). So now we are complete with our order and I am so excited to dig into to my drunken (that's the name of it)omelette (homemade hash??? Yes please)....immediately cut into a nice bite with my form and I am hit with a short gray hair!!! Immediately done....i can certainly look passed being given dark rye bread as the decision that they made for my meal, which was soggy and saturated (dripping) in butter (and I'm not watching my figure but still)....the hair I was immediately disgusted with...my daughter goes to eat her nice hot griddled pancakes and was then observant of TWO MORE SHORT GRAY HAIRS!!!! We are immediately turned off and end up tossing the rest....my husbands breakfast was edible and was made on a hoagie roll even though I called to specify an everything bagel....really sad because this place has and had potential

Ordered take out. Food was not that good. Ordered a side of linguica for almost $6 hardly anything was in the container what was there was burnt. I called and spoke with Erica. She said there was nothing she could do. Seemed like I was bothering her needles to say we won't be returning. Horrible customer service/food

This place had a really hipster/nostalgic and unique vibe! It's a local diner that has photographs, drawings, posters, and interesting things plastered across the walls. It has your classic diner set up with bar stool and open view of the kitchen. There are also many table. Our server was friendly and really helpful especially considering how many tables she had to take care of. The coffee was strong and they had a basic menu with diner staples. The bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was just wanted I needed to start my day off. I liked the old school vibe of writing the order on a price of paper and checking out at the host stand after the meal. Overall, great little find!

Not much to look at from the outside, but what an amazing spot! Great food and service surrounded by history. It was a quiet day, so we not only had amazing food (the Drunken Johnny and meatball omelets were big and tasty) but also got to chat with a member of Louis' family. Don't change a thing!

Very homey vibes. Good portions. Classic American breakfast. When I went the police was having breakfast there, just like in American TV shows.

Placed an order on Uber eats.. they completely forgot to put home fries in both breakfast plates.. I ordered two eggs with toast and home fries for both plates and the home fries was not in any of them… other than that French toast and scrambled eggs was good… but I am upset because homefries makes the plate!

Kerri Smith

Looks are deceiving! From the outside appearance you would never believe the unique nostalgia hanging on the wall in this place along with friendly staff to make you feel welcomed. Including the biggest portion of home fries with an omelette that oversized my plate fit to perfection. If you walk by this place without trying their breakfast then you just missed out one on the best gems Providence has to offer.
