Morin's: A Dining Bargain in Attleboro, MA

by Eric H.
Every time we go to Morin's in Attleboro, MA (near Providence, RI), we not only look forward to the delicious food but also the chance to save some money.

Realizing that the chain restaurants aren't really a bargain anymore, we've stuck with Morin's because it is a "real" neighborhood restaurant with personalized service and the perfect mix of "old time classics and today's most popular items." In business since 1911, Morin's consists of a traditional diner, a bar area and more dining rooms in adjoining buildings. The back room is particularly pleasant with its brick look, high ceilings, two-level dining and dim lighting. It has a former factory building look that has been transformed into something cozy and quaint.

The breakfast, lunch and dinner items are phenomenal and at great prices. An original "Charlie Burger," consisting of a single all beef pattie, with bacon, tomato, pickles and American cheese costs, at this writing, $3.65. A homemade meatloaf luncheon plate comes in at $7.55 and baked Atlantic schrod at $8.25. The prices for these dishes and others go up slightly at dinner, but it's still a bargain. The real attraction at dinner, however, are the "theme buffets." Thursday night is the prime rib buffet at $14.99 per person, Friday night seafood buffet at $12.99 per person, and the Sunday morning brunch at $8.49 per person. We've also enjoyed special theme buffets like "comfort food night" and "Oktoberfest night" in October with some wonderful German foods.

Morin's is ultimately the perfect place to enjoy a meal within a comfortable down-to-earth atmosphere, support local business, and leave with your stomach and wallet full.
