Seaplane Diner — Restaurant in Providence

Let’s start off with I buy food from here all the time amazing service, amazing food but today Lady gave me an attitude over the phone when I got the food dropped off the food with my kids today. Dad I got a call. It was awful. Also got myself a side of bacon and French toast. I tried to eat my French toast and was like why is this burn? I should’ve known once that lady spoke to me. I should’ve never done business with them that day, so I call because my dad said it’s nasty. You should get your money back. He also buys food from them. I spoke to the manager told her I’m definitely gonna call my bank and ask for reimbursement because she gave me an attitude and the food was nasty. That’s never happened there and she used the excuse that they were so busy so loud and no one gave me an attitude she surely did they’re always busy. They’re always loud and they’ve never spoken to me like that ever here’s the picture of the French toast that I never ate and they said bring it in and replace it. I bought that in the morning I called during my lunchtime because I went to work that at my food was nasty then I got phone calls talking about the food I dropped off for the kids were nasty. In the picture, you see the bites that I took trying to eat the food because I was hungry, but...

One of my favorite features is the family photos displayed in the front. This shows me the diner cared for the families of staff that work for them (a great sign!).

I had the Seaplane Breakfast, a short stack of pancakes, and linguica. All cooked very well, if not a little salty (but that’s why the ice water is so refreshing!).

Coffee is refilled often and food comes out swiftly. Can’t wait...

Prices are reminiscent of days gone by. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is quintessential americana diner. The food, sadly was hit or miss. I ordered the 2 eggs (sunny side up) breakfast with sausage and a side of bacon. The eggs were very good and tasted almost like they were locally sourced, the sausage however was very sysco systemish, dry and flavorless. The bacon, was thick and crunchy and as close to bacony perfect as you can get.

Overall, if you're in the area and want to experience a diner for breakfast you could do far worse. You could probably do better, but not for the price. Two decent breakfast plates with...
