  Ernie’s is one of my automatic stops every time I’m on Block Island.
  
  The corned beef hash is legendary for a reason. It’s homemade, it tastes homemade, and it’s exactly what you want from a real breakfast spot. No weird reinventing the wheel, no trying too hard, just really good corned beef hash done right.
  
  We also got French toast, pancakes, eggs, and bacon, and everything was wonderful. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes sense on Block Island: simple, filling, satisfying, and exactly what you want before being out for the day.
  
  The whole place has that old-school, no-fuss breakfast feel, which I love. Good food, good portions, and the corned beef hash is absolutely the move.
  
  Five stars. Ernie’s is a must-stop for me every time I’m on the island.

  Absolutely amazing experience at Erine's. Food was great and priced fairly. We met the owner, Maureen, she was wonderful and told us the history of the restaurant and local insight to Block Island. We will definitely visit again when we return in September!

  There’s always a line, but that alone tells you you’re in for a treat. If you’re patient, it’s worth the wait. We stopped in for breakfast, and as always, it did not disappoint. Pancakes for my 10-year-old, a Philly Steak omelette for me, and Bennie’s Avocado for my husband. Generous portions, very reasonable prices, and service that feels like home.
  
  The lady who runs it (so sorry I didn’t catch her name) is incredible! She does it all! Hostess, waitress, manager, she works the room effortlessly. My husband was in awe just watching her work her magic. Truly a gem of a place that keeps us coming back.

  Ernie’s is one of those no-frills breakfast joints that’s clearly earned its place in the hearts of both locals and early-rising visitors. It’s not trying to be trendy, it’s not overthinking things — and that’s exactly what makes it work.
  
  You walk in and you know right away: this is a spot that’s been around long enough to know breakfast. Friendly staff, a cozy diner-style setup, and food that shows up hot and just the way you ordered it. By the time we were heading out, there was a solid crowd waiting for tables — always a good sign when the locals are willing to wait.
  
  I got exactly what I was in the mood for — nothing fancy, just satisfying, well-cooked breakfast classics. The kind of place where eggs are eggs, coffee is coffee, and everything feels just a little better because you’re on Block Island.
  
  If you’re looking for modern twists and avocado toast with edible flowers, this isn’t it. But if you want a solid, satisfying breakfast in a place that feels like part of the island’s rhythm — Ernie’s is the spot.
