“ Best place to get breakfast in town. Fast service and great staff. Gyro omelette is my go-to breakfast. Highly recommend going there. ”
“ Food is typical diner food. Good and wholesome. Waitresses on the other hand seem absolutely miserable. Not sure why but they for sure don't want to be there. ”
“ Good honest food from a hard working Greek family. A must stop when we visit Newport, RI . The French toast was nice and custard like the bacon nice and crisp. The Gyro omelet was delicious the meat was fresh and moist the seasoning carried through the whole omelet the tomatoes and onions where a nice addition. The homemade Chorizo hash is a nice change from the traditional canned hash. The coffee is also quite delicious! The staff is friendly and welcoming and the food is served quickly. The decor is clean and typical for a greasy spoon there are booths tables and seating at the counter. ”

“ Stumbled on this place looking for lunch in Newport. Ordered a cheesesteak and fries and really enjoyed it! Very very cheap and great portion! Perfect lunch spot. ”
“ If you do not like Waffle House, you will not like Mel's Cafenio. It is a hole in the wall by every definition. The place is pretty well laid out, the decor is dated (like 1970's), and the upkeep of the shop is a little lacking, but the food is greasy goodness. There are a couple cobwebs in the corners if you look really hard (after reading the other reviews, I was curious), but honestly, who cares as long as the food is good? The fact it is cheap blows my mind. Since coming to Newport, I have eaten a lot of breakfasts here, and most of them have been garbage. Other than Corner Cafe and this place, what they pass for breakfast is a sad attempt of doing something fancy. Forget fancy, if you can do the basics well, you don't have to make things up. Wife and I came here, ordered two breakfasts, 2 drinks, and walked out with a $20 bill. Honestly, in Newport, I'm used to the highway robbery of $40 for 2 for basic breakfast... Wife ordered the french toast with home fries and Chourico hash. The Chourico hash is like straight up crack. It is by far our favorite thing about this place. Wife said the French toast wasn't bad, but next time is going for over easy eggs with the Chourico hash to drizzle the yolk over it to make a savory spicy awesome taste. I ordered the 2 eggs, Chourico sausage, home fries and toast. Unlike the other joints in town, my over easy egg actually had a runny yolk! So many places have overcooked overeasy eggs that you get a solid yolk, even worse they over cook eggs Benedict and do the same thing. I did not understand why Corner Cafe had an hour wait for breakfast until I tried other options, and I have to say, I understand waiting since most of them suck. But this place is really good, half the price, and right across the street. I will be honest though, if you like vegetarian options, I did not see any on the menu, but breakfast is eggs, meat, and home fries in my book, so this fits me perfectly. I highly recommend you try this place out if you are waiting in line somewhere else. Since coming back to the U.S., Newport is like the twilight zone of restaurants, with 75% of them sucking and wishing you would have ate at home. This place doesn't promise you a 4 star meal, just a greasy good tasting one at a decent price. I can live with that... ”
