One of my favorite things about day trips is discovering new-to-me places to eat, especially little mom-and-pop spots that exude old-fashioned charm and friendliness. Sure, I might have to go off the beaten path a bit, but the results are usually worth it. Next time you've got a few free hours and a cranky stomach, pull up a chair at this off-the-beaten-path restaurant in Rhode Island.
Just over a mile from Lincoln Woods State Park, Shanna's Country Kitchen in Lincoln is perfect for fueling up for a day of adventure or anytime you're craving good, old-fashioned comfort food.
Most diners tend to agree this family-owned eatery, a local favorite for more than three decades, exudes warmth, so you'll feel like you're right at home.
Shanna's Country Kitchen earns glowing reviews for its breakfast dishes, with some even crowning it as serving the best breakfasts in Rhode Island. Portions are generous, so bring a big appetite.
If you're in the mood for a classic breakfast, you have quite a few choices, from omelets and Benedicts to French toast and fruit bowls. Delmonico steak with two eggs, home fries, and toast is also on the menu.
Sometimes the best way to start the day is with something oh-so-sweet. The tough part is deciding what - chocolate chip pancakes or Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream - to order.
If you need a pick-me-up midday, pull over for a hearty lunch. For something on the lighter side, opt for homemade soup and a salad with egg, chicken, or tuna.
A burger and fries - or perhaps onion rings - is a natural choice.
The menu also features such classic sandwiches as grilled cheese, roasted turkey, and roasted ham. Add homemade baked beans, sweet potato fries, or potato chips for a filling meal.
