Louis' Restaurant: DDD vs. Reality

0Knowing I was going to take a little trip to explore Providence, I of course youtubed "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives Providence" to find candidate eating spots, and this was the one that won my interest best.


I was so excited for my first chance to check out the reality behind a Diner's Drive-ins and Dives episode and hurried along to Louis' in Providence's College Hill (right by Brown).



I tried the BBQ Chicken Cheese Ravioli ($5.55). It was tasty but nothing to write home about. The best part is the price. I was slightly disillusioned about DDD.



Granola Pancake ($1.65) - But this was the best pancake I'd ever had up to this point in my life.

The service is friendly, the food is good, and the prices are seemingly from the early 90s! Oh and you can also get a t-shirt for $5. Is the place worth going out of your way for? Not really. But if you're around, it's a delightful experience for just a few bucks.

Result: This one is skippable.
