Franklin Spa

Newport


This strangely named, spotlessly-clean old-school diner slings hash, eggs and grease for cheap. It's locally loved and opens early. Enjoy freshly squeezed orange juice with your diner-style breakfast, or at lunch try the likes of homemade turkey-noodle soup, salads, sandwiches, meatloaf and shepherd's pie.
