The Breakfast Plates From Athena’s Breakfast & Lunch In Rhode Island Are So Big, They Could Feed An Entire Family

A lot goes into a positive dining experience - service, ambiance, and, most importantly, food. We've all been to restaurants, at least once or twice, where the food is pretty good but we're hungry only a few hours after we've finished eating. That certainly won't be a problem at this quaint restaurant that serves massive breakfast plates in Cranston, Rhode Island. Don't worry, though, if you're stopping around lunchtime. The lunch plates will leave you stuffed, too.

Hidden in an unassuming strip mall, Athena's Restaurant doesn't come with many frills like its chain counterparts, but what it does promise is a hearty, delicious meal.

You definitely won't leave Athena's hungry. However, you might have leftovers for later.

Exuding an old-school charm, the Cranston restaurant serves breakfast and lunch daily. For a real taste of nostalgia, slip onto a stool at the counter, where you can watch as your meal is made.

What really sets Athena's apart from the competition, at least if you ask diners, is the absolutely huge portions that come at reasonable prices.

A quick look at the menu reveals the challenge that awaits. Choose from dozens of classic breakfast dishes - from breakfast sandwiches to an egg-centric meal.

If you're craving an old-fashioned breakfast, you have plenty from which to choose. How about eggs and ribeye steak or eggs and French toast?

Athena's Breakfast & Lunch makes it easy to dig into exactly what you want. While the menu features more than a dozen omelets, you can also build your own omelet.

These aren't your average omelets, though. Each is made with four eggs and comes with homefries and toast.

Sometimes, though, we all need a little sweetness to start our day. Treat your sweet tooth with French toast, waffles, or Oreo, peanut butter cup, or stuffed pancakes.

Make it a point to stop by for lunch one day, too, where you'll be treated to the same generous selection of meals and huge portions. Cooked-to-order burgers and hot dogs pair with fries, pasta salad, or coleslaw for a filling meal.

Classic deli sandwiches - BLT, tuna, and grilled cheese - and grinders are all tasty choices, too.
