I have been going to Shannon's for 13 years, I used to bring my cases to work on each morning, greeted by Debbie who I adore. Erin is shannon's sister, she's very pleasant as well, only if she knows you.

However, no restaurant is perfect. My experience for this trip was great but the bacon was a bit overcooked, salty and one note, however the home fries were slightly buttery yet quite flavorful, which you normally get on a good day. Overall, I enjoyed my breakfast of Egg's Benedict with ham and home fries. If you're not from Rhode Island (or even if you're not from Pawtucket), then Shannon's Place should be on your list of small restaurants to visit and always remember to enjoy the...
