Been coming here from a kid, to a 4 year attendee of Shea right across the street, To my adulthood, service never misses, always greeted so kindly like it’s my first time. The breakfast is truly comfort food. Lobster benedict and Custard French Toast are really the best things i’ve ever eaten no exaggeration!! Not a day i don’t think about it. No complaints I pray it never closes

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 thus the reason im stepping out from restaurant review retirement just to make this post. (Still proud of my 4,000,000 views through google.)
Huge shout out to this place for TRULY keeping it original.

Old Time diner. Fast service. Good food and would go back. Had breakfast, eggs, bacon, toast and potatoes were really good. Kind of tasted like they were cooked with little extra bacon grease. Perfect

Fun diner with tons of specials! The service was great and they were on top of refills and gave perfect suggestions.
We tried the French toast W/ custard, Gouda apple jalapeno bacon omelette, and breakfast sandwich. I didn’t like the iced coffee but, thats not what they’re known for. Was definitely a fan of the omelette and the French toast.

My friend Steve and I had great service at the Modern Diner today. Our server was super friendly ♀️ and speedy. The food was delicious and the cinnamon sugar black coffee ☕️ was on point!

The food was really good and it’s such an adorable historic diner! I will say, the water was uniquely disgusting. I couldn’t drink more than a sip or two. It tasted like metal.
I went early on a Saturday and it was not crowded. I’m really glad this place exists! I love history that you can interact with.

This historic landmark is a sure bet to have a great breakfast.
The service is always good, the dropped eggs are the second best I’ve had in my life.
Today I had mouth watering French toast.
Have breakfast here and head up to the providence line. From there walk along The Blackstone Blvd.
Stopped by today, 8.13.24, first time in a while. It wasn’t too crowded and I was seated right away.
I got pancakes and hash browns and both were amazing . Great service and easy parking today. Beautiful weather which made for a great walk over in Slater Park.
Had another visit yesterday to the Modern Dinner. 9.10.25.
Their blueberry pancakes keep getting better. Their home fries are the best around.
Service was great and easy parking.

Good service, great food and friendly atmosphere. Had the lobster grits, with toast, eggs and home fries. The staff are very attentive and the food came out hot. I love that they have several types of grits along with several types of French Toast. The parking lot is big enough but it’s ALWAYS full – you may have to circle once or twice to catch someone pulling out!

Food was so good, I got eggs, home fries and steak and everything was so well marinated and so delicious! I also got a banana pancake and my partner got the cranberry almond pancake (I believe) and the waitress gave us an orange flavored syrup that was so good! The waitress will know what I’m talking about! The service was great! So nice, warm and friendly, We will be coming back for sure!
