I feel as if this review will be an ode to Lil & Gene’s Restaurant...
If you’re reading this post 12/23, it’s too late 😢 The restaurant has closed for good but will be fondly remembered by the regular patrons who supported the restaurant over the years.
Though I’ve lived in FL for 20 years, I’m from RI and this was one of my favorite breakfast joints. Whether going there after Sunday mass as a child to skipping class in high school and driving over with friends, this was the place we went for breakfast—giant helpings of delicious food.
And, as timely as it was, I had to visit my home state for a sudden loss in the family, but my Mom and I went to eat here one final time before the service. It was as good as I remember, and will cherish the memories of not only that day, but many, many others from my younger years.
Many thanks to the owners both past and present who made Lil & Gene’s a critical part of the cultural landscape of Manville, RI!
Great breakfast spot in Manville. Slightly out of the way, but fantastic food, amazing quality, great price.
Best food around a must go to when you want breakfast you will never walk away hungry!!! Need a quick lunch this is the place to be! Friday night the fish and chip are the best around, I've had everything on the menu here they never disappoint ! Family run for over 50 yr and 3 generations you know they are doing something good!!
The food is excellent. The breakfast is awesome Friday night fish-and-chips and whole belly clams fisherman's platter great value. You won't leave hungry that's for sure. Been going there for 30 years
I consider myself a hearty eater, my wife not so much. When we order fish and chips we only order for one. it is more than adequate for us both. If you order a pickup, you will usually be in and out in a couple of minutes. If we want fish and chips there is only one place to get them for us.
Never greasy and reasonably priced. Service is great, eggs and food cooked so good and clean tasting. I would absolutely recommend this place to a friend. ♥️♥️♥️
Love, love, loved this place. We don't live in RI anymore but if we did we would be regulars. Great home cooked food and service with a smile! Reasonably price too.
Been coming here since I was a kid, love this place. Definitely a must if visiting. Very friendly staff, great food at great prices.
This is a great little restaurant, tucked into the history in Manville, RI. The food is great and the staff really gets to know you. If you want good food at a good price this little dinner is the place to go!
Great food and great people. It feels like you're having Sunday breakfast at an aunt's house. Love it.
Just lovely people. They go out of their way to make our unusual group happy. (We were a party of eight.) Everyone loved the meal!
Great mom and pop breakfast that is close to home. Reasonable prices and good service from a staff made of family
Excellent food, excellent serving staff, excellent prices. Nice mom and pop place
Good food. Service is very good. Generous portions.
Always good. Try the Nor'easter benedict. Poached eggs on crab cake drenched in hollandaise. Oh so good.
Best breakfast around town. Also great fried clam plate.
Cory makes THE BEST breakfast with some great specials. Cozy place with wonderful people! !
Initial service was slow. Food was good. To bad they're in the process of closing.
Favorite spot to grab a quick breakfast!! Family owned and operated for 3 generations!
