Bethany’s Airport Diner

Bethany’s is the diner in the Block Island airport terminal. It is very tiny, funky, cute and crowded. It is not hard to be crowded when you only have a dozen or so seats. The place is famous for its lobster eggs benedict, lobster omelets and crab omelets. Bethany’s also has great pancakes. Everything is homemade. Although the seats are almost always full at breakfast time there are picnic tables with umbrellas out front and this is the best option for people with kids. They can watch the tiny planes land and take off and there is a toy plane they can sit in. Telephone: (401) 466-3100
