Top Family restaurants in Providence, United States

Beautiful little diner we stopped at for breakfast, very accommodating for young kids / family friendly.

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!

No frills Indian restaurant with great food, good portions, and decent service and atmosphere. It's a good deal for the price.

It's such a perfect, delicious hidden gem. Very relaxed, homey atmosphere. Authenticly delicious food. Our (4) samosas were forgotten, so we'll see if they will just give them to us next time line they promised. Either way, I do love this place!

A little restaurant that you must not miss. The food is absolutely THE bomb, it's quality and flavors are top tier. The service is excellent, everyone is kind and helpful, the samosas are spicy and flavorful. The best!!!

Service was incredibly odd. The young man who took our order was weird to a point where we had wished someone else would handle us because of how uncomfortable things got. Not particularly attentive either. But...

That aside the food was fine, and incredibly decently priced. They even had specials including Baigan Bharta and it was great. They didn't have Naan available which was a bummer but overall I'd say this is a decent option for Indian food in the area.

Smaller place. Portions are large for the price you pay! Food comes to the table hot. Grits had a few lumps and some kind of after taste, but the eggs, raisin toast and potatoes were really good.

The food is nice no doubt. But beware during payment. They forcefully take tips from you (Even they don’t bother to ask). They should ask and ensure from people before taking any extra money.
However a good learning…

In this economy, it isn't easy to find affordable, yet delicious and well-portioned options for the most important meal of the day. Louis filled this void. It feels like it's been at least a half a dozen years since I've had a breakfast this fulfilling. They rank as elite in my price-per-bite metric. Some of the best sausage and eggs I've had in a while. Will 100% be back.

On our way to Newport, we stopped at this amazing place for breakfast. I would like to start with the "drunk johnny" it was legendary. I am an omlette person, but this one stands out of all by far my top favorite one.
I loved the coffee it was perfectly brewed and went well with the omlette and potato.
The highlight of this place is that even the bread they serve here are homemade, and it is really good.

It's worth it and must try if you are in and around the providence. Stop by, and you will never regret it.

Alright, I love diners almost as much as I love great food and this place is a solid gem! I love everything about this place and I can't wait to go back and try more of the food. Be warned: the portions are HUGE! The food portions are definitely sized for blue-collar workers who are out busting their hump on the daily, so if you're a desk jockey (like myself) you may want to just share a meal with your company (nice thing is a lot of their dishes come in small or large sizes, so they've got you coveted regardless).

Again: love this place and can't wait to go back!

First time here I ordered ahead early for takeout because I heard they usually get busy.

I ordered the Johnny’s omelette and the 3s special. Honestly, favorite order was the omelette. It was really good it has hash, onions, and cheese. It was flavorful. The home fries are massive and it had great flavor as well.

My original review was 5 stars but I've since had to edit.

My family has been coming here for so many years, the entire staff knows us by name. They have some of the best prices on authentic Indian food in the state. The atmosphere is also very homey.

Recently, we noticed a sign in the window (see picture) that made us feel unwelcome and unsafe. We'll be going to other places in the area instead.

Last visit not good. Very different than what we expect from them. The service was slow and very inconsistent. I asked for my dish spicy and it came out with cinnamon sticks innit and tasted like sugar. They made it sweet. Not spicy. It was awful, but didnt have heart to tell them. Why would spicy come out super sweet. Unedible sweet. It was my wife and I 5 year wedding anniversary and it was bad. We love their food we wanted them for that meal. I should have showed them and let taste. It truly made em question going back beacuse that is a huge mistake. I said hot and spicy. Not Vindaloo spice but hot. And they made it sweet. Wow!! The gentleman taking care of us seemed like he did not know what doing. Maybe we go back. Unsure.
Amazing Indian place on Hope St that is 100% authentic. I'll let you know a secret!?!? We were on our way to Rassoi, which we often frequent, but stopped here instead and wow were we impressed! They also have a spice place across the street, where they are actually able to deliver authentic spices across to Just Snacks to make authentic, tasty and clean Indian meals. My wife and I had stuffed Aloo Tikki, lentil soup, garlic Naan, Chicken Vindaloo and Tikki Masala. All very good and some outstanding and a few best I have ever had in life. The Naan was the best Naan I have ever had and their Stuffed Aloo Tikki was the best I had ever eaten. My wife said her Tikki Masala was outstanding. My Vindaloo had all the right spices and just the right amount of Vindaloo heat. Some places want to kill with you heat, but forget the flavor of the dish and others vice versa. Not Just Snacks hits the flavor profile and heat perfectly! If I had to give something back it is the Lentil soup. It is not that it wasn't good. It was, but out of everything else it wasn't the best as everything else was. Wonderful meal. We can't wait to be back !! Thanks Not Just Snacks!

I've been waiting so long to check this place out. I am not disappointed either. First off, I love the name , 'Not Just Snacks.'
There is a lovely dining area inside and some tables outside as well. The hand painted murals are unique and wonderful conversation pieces of art.
NJS has a great menu list and I can't rave enough about the actual dishes. Presentation and taste.
The ladies are genuinely beautiful waitstaff with complete knowledge of everything on the menu and the shop as well.
NJS is now my favorite place for authentic
