English Muffin

The breakfast was delicious, Sheri was awesome, sweet, frendly, great service. English Muffin is clean, not a long wait today.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. Especially for dinner. Really cute little diner, well decorated with terrific food. Have been there for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast– delicious ham and eggs, very generous portion. You can also get lunch during the breakfast hour. One of the best club sandwiches around, especially the grilled chicken club.
But dinner is my favorite! Delicious fresh, baked stuffed fish. Comes with soup or salad and 2 sides. And my favorite stuffie around. I actually buy them frozen and take them hom. Best of all is they are BYOB!!!
Looking forward to going again!

Great omelette! Everyone at our table enjoyed their food. The server seemed a bit confused about who ordered what though. I would definitely go back!

I love this upscale breakfast place! Yes you can get lunch and dinner too but this is my favorite breakfast in RI. Always tastes great. I am picky about my muffins and theirs are homemade and delicious.
As you can see, the hot chocolate for my son looked and tasted great. Well worth the wait; there is a reason they are almost always busy!

I ventured to this place one morning when the baby woke up at the crack of dawn. Figured I’d get my breakfast in at 6 AM to start the day.
The place itself was sooo adorable, cuter than I expected. The waitress was really nice and the guys sitting at the bar seemed like regulars who were busting balls and chatting. It was a nice atmosphere.
I got the florentine benedict. I don’t eat meat on weekdays, so I would like to go back to try something else. It was good but I felt like the spinach may have been the frozen chopped kind and I didn’t like that. (thats a personal preference thing but just mentioning it). The home fries were good and the eggs were poached perfectly. Coffee wasn’t too shabby either.

Great breakfast and lunch selections with a distinctly Johnston atmosphere. Waitresses are very pleasant and attentive. Great value for what you end up spending.

After being ignored and standing at the host stand for 10 minutes I sat myself at the bar. Lindsay promptly took my drink order and I got coffee and grapefruit juice. The coffee was very weak and watery but the grapefruit juice was tasty. I ordered the eggs Benedict Florentine and a side of bacon. Everything came out about 10 minutes after I ordered. The bacon was good, the Hollandaise was a little too buttery and the spinach had definitely been previously frozen. The home fries were a little mushy but had good flavor. My total bill for just myself was just under $ 20. Nothing special here, and a bit overpriced for what it is. To be a good breakfast spot at least have a decent strong cup of coffee. I probably won’t be back.

Visited with a friend for a pre-​bridal brunch.
Atmosphere and Service: The décor is county-​charming, the hostess warm and welcoming, the specials, rustic yet inventive. The cranberry and walnut pancakes, for example, sounded both delicious and seasonally appropriate, and will be on my list for next time. There is ample seating in the dining area, a roomy bar, and a spacious outdoor dining area that doubles as the perfect spot to wait with a complimentary cup of coffee until your table is ready. Our waitress was attentive. Coffee refills were slow.
Food: everything that came out of the kitchen looked and smelled delicious. Someone came dangerously close to losing their gigantic chocolate chip pancake when it happened to pass by our table! We both opted for omelettes, home fries, and toast. I chose egg whites. It was probably one of the best omelette I’ve had in some time. Light, thin, and not the least bit greasy from the griddle. My bacon was perfectly crispy, and my toast was, well, toasted. The home fries were soggy; they may have been better if ordered well done. Overall, I felt that the portions and quality were consistent with the pricing, which is reasonable. The only exception, to me, was the price of the fruit cup, which, at $ 4.99, should have been larger or contained something other than diced melon and one strawberry.
Overall, I enjoyed The English Muffin. It’s a cute, local place that nicely bridges the gap between greasy spoon and classier brunch (both of which are near and dear to my heart… but not my mom’s). I’ll be back, but I’ll skip the home fries and fruit!

I like food.
When I’m hungry and nearby, I come here.
If you like food, you should come here, because they got some.

My sister and I have this habit of driving around our parents (and recently our youngest sister) to their marathon races. Invariably, with the races starting in the morning– it leaves my sister and I ample time and opportunity to search for the best breakfast in whatever town we find ourselves in.
The English Muffin is a cute little restaurant, and we loved the décor and ambience. Upon arrival, we were quickly seated. Our waitress was pleasant and patient. The food was phenomenal! I had the Eggs Bendedict, and my sister had the french toast. We came on Mother’s Day, so they were giving out flowers to the moms and gave everyone these tasty free pastries.

Let this be a note that I have never eaten at this restaurant, I have only ever done take out which is what my opinion is based on.
That being said, their customer service lacks severely in this department. I keep going back because the food is good and it used to be cheap, but somehow I end up paying more and more each time. Several months ago I ordered a Caesar salad to go which cost me $ 9. No chicken, no protein, just lettuce and dressing. I hardly think $ 9 is reasonable.
I have had orders often been wrong or partly forgotten only to get back to work disappointed without time to go back and have it fixed (an hour break doesn’t leave room for error). When I have called to complain a promise of free food next time is given, but never ever followed through (and myself and coworkers order often).
This last time was ridiculous. I called in an order for 2 BLTs and a grilled cheese and was told 10 – 15 minutes. Perfect, no problem. My coworker was gone over an hour waiting for our meals to be cooked (again, we only get an hour to actually eat our food let alone wait for it).
The two stars are only based on the food, which is usually good. The lacking 3 additional stars are for poor customer service practices.

Amazing place … We came here on a whim, just driving and said what’s in Johnston lol … Huge portions, great prices and really good service. we watched a lot of food walk by us coming out of the kitchen and my wife turned to me and said five star all day and we are 100% coming back here for lunch next week (cause she saw a buffalo salad the size of her head on a plate that was overflowing). I Dont rate five stars on many places but this is definitely one of them.

I like this place. It’s always crowded when I go, but not so bad that I can’t get seated in a reasonable amount of time.
The food is good, the coffee is decent, and the ambiance is pleasant. Waitstaff is friendly even when busy. I’ve only had breakfast, so I can’t comment on the lunch options.

Had breakfast here yesterday morning. There was a wait when we got there but we opted to sit at the counter instead of a table so we didn’t wait at all.
Service was friendly and prompt — coffee refills were a bit slow, I had to ask for it but the coffee itself wasn’t bad. I ordered the eggs Benedict which was very good and my gf ordered an egg/​sausage on a bagel sandwich. Both came with a hefty side of home fries but they were a bit mushy for my liking.
Overall — I liked it here and would return. As we approached 11am, the wait got longer — which is never a bad sign for a restaurant.

My boyfriend and I love it here for breakfast. We haven’t been in a while, but that’s mostly because we think we burned it out for ourselves.
If you arrive on a weekend morning between 9 and 11-​ish, you WILL wait but it is worth it. The dining area is one huge open room, which means it can get very loud. It never really bothers me though. I always look forward to seeing the seasonal décor — it’s so cute!
The service is usually nice, but we have gotten a couple waitresses who can be kind of rude and short. Not that I’m looking to have a full conversation with my waitress, but a little bit of kindness goes a long way.
The food can be a little pricey, but the portions are huge and the food is great. I’ve never been disappointed! I always get the corned beef hash breakfast because I am a creature of habit. Half of the big plate is covered with crispy corned beef hash, not some little side plate. That’s what I like to see.
Overall, it’s worth the wait for a nice location and big portions!

A personal favorite, I can’t believe I’ve yet to give them a review. The amount of food they give for their prices is incredible. Service is always quick and friendly.
They always have new coffee flavors each day that are delicious. Banana pancakes are delish!

Absolutely delicious!!! The portions are huge and the wait staff was extremely friendly. I had the baked stuffed haddock and it was amazing to say the least, I’ve heard all good things and they were all correct! I definitely recommend this place for good home cooked comfort food!

Really good food, I had pancake, eggs, bacon and toast (!). Portions too large to finish. The placed was packed on a weekday around 10:30 a.m. We had to sit at the counter, which was fine. The waitress had kind of an attitude, which is why it’s losing one star from moi. Would definitely go back if in the area.

This would have received five stars all day long if I were rating just the food, but I’m not.
The hostess that greeted us had s terrible attitude, very unwelcoming. Their was also a long wait, which I don’t mind but when a seat opened up at the bar and we took it she approached us and stated we needed to tell her so she could take us off the list. I had seriously planned on it, my butt hadn’t even hit the chair!
There are ways to speak to customers that do not make them feel as though they were being disciplined.
I have worked in the restaurant business for many years, a hostess is the first face you that greats you, care should be made when selecting this individual.

Incredible eggs Benedict. Pancakes bigger than your face. Freshly ground coffee in festive mugs. Oh my!
For about $ 25 two of us were served three massive plates of food and bottomless coffee, and all of it was delicious.
Not only were the pancakes huge, but they were fluffy and sweet, as was the french toast. Neither hardly needed any syrup or butter; they were pretty much perfect on their own.
Best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had. The eggs were perfectly cooked atop buttery, grilled English muffins with Canadian bacon and smothered in fresh hollandaise. I was thankful to be automatically provided with a steak knife, because it was much needed for cutting off even bites to get a little bit of everything.
Their bacon here is also really good, and has a nice smokey flavor.
The only thing that didn’t amaze me here were the homefries. They were a little bit underseasoned and boring, but that’s what ketchup is for, right?
The service is super quick and attentive. This place rocks at banging out plates. The manager/​owner is always walking around with a pot of coffee, making sure that all of the tables are happy.
The place is a bit small, but they get the tables turned over quickly so that you don’t have to wait more than 10 – 15 minutes, and there’s a lot of comfortable seating in the waiting area. I almost never comment on restrooms, but theirs are so pretty and clean that I had to give them a mention. They’re spacious, cutely decorated, and smell awesome.
⁵⁄₅ stars all around. Will definitely be returning.
