Great food, service and outdoor deck view of the ferry. If you are arriving on the first 8am block island ferry, be sure to hurry over and get a table on the deck and order your food before all the other tourists get there.

When I give stars, especially five stars, they are not all equal…. Rather they are rating my experience in the type of restaurant I’m eating in….This place is served by a short order cooks who artfully prepare a breakfast with perfection. In terms of breakfast joints, old school breakfast places…. Perfection.

Favorite in town breakfast! Super clean kitchen and yummy yummy food. When the head chefs the owner you know it’s gonna be good!

Excellent food and service. Stopped here for breakfast after getting off the ferry. Was surprised and very happy to see vegan French toast and plant based sausage on the menu!!! It was delicious 😍 (they even provided vegan butter!)

Love love love this place for our breakfast escape. Breakfast like home.

Heard about this from multiple people on the ferry to Block Island. Service was quick and food came out fast. Overlooking the harbor in the morning is a great way to start the day. Got there around 7 am and got a table right away.
Cash only. Recommended for anyone enjoying breakfast!

One of if not the best place to get a home cooked breakfast on the island. Pancakes, home fries, and so much more made just the way I would get back home. Reasonably priced food and they open early. Great place to sit in and just enjoy a nice breakfast before you get your day started.

What's in eggs here? No seriously this is such a good breakfast place. Nothing crazy on the menu just simple awesome food. Homemade hash was on point too.

Best breakfast on the island. Gets busy be patient. Once in usually pretty quick. The corned beef hash is not like classic hash just as a heads up depending on what you are looking for may or may not be worth it

Great breakfast place! Lots of variety, can't wait to try everything! Very good coffee, a great value and a real "diner" experience. Love this place, will be back often and I hope you try it!!

Best breakfast on the island

Friendly staff. The wait wasn’t too long and well worth it. Great classic diner fare, but they have #vegan French toast with plant based sausage. Who knew?

Typical American breakfast restaurant, but good deals and great service. My personal favorite is the Hungry Person Special, which is two pancakes, two eggs, toast, with bacon or sausage for just 13.80. Which is pretty cheap for the island!

Absolutely great place for breakfast we found it on the last day of our trip.. the hostess was the best .. our friends got shirts and a cup and absolutely love them I'm telling you if you got to go to breakfast that's the place to go can't wait to get back, that will be our first stop..thanks for the cold chocolate milk when my breakfast came.

Good laid back spot that hasn't changed much in the 15 years I've been eating breakfast here, and I mean that as a compliment. Watch the boats come into the harbor and take comfort in the fact that the world may be slipping into oblivion but Block island and Ernie's are a safe refuge.

Really good home-cooked-style food. Great GF options. I like the homemade hash and the Grilled Cheese Works. My pary ofonine loved their omelettes as well. Warm personal service and very fair price.

Great view of old harbor.. good food nice service we always eat outside. They only serve breakfast.

Best Place on Block Island for Breakfast! If you can seated on the outside even better. Staff are nice and very large portions for a great price.

Wonderful, friendly, homemade breakfast food!
