Nick's on Broadway Review

What might pass as a no-frills luncheonette from the street turns out some of the best breakfast food in Rhode Island, plus extraordinary lunches and dinners. Young chef Derek Wagner delights morning patrons with such memorable fare as vanilla-battered French toast with warm fruit compote and rosemary ham; later in the day, he prepares a knockout pulled-pork sandwich with cheddar and caramelized onion, as well as rare-seared tuna with mashed parsnips and potatoes and sage jus. Service is low-key and the dining room basic, with a polished wood counter and a row of tightly spaced tables.
