Smithfield Diner Closing
Wednesday, April 07, 2021
A diner in Smithfield, Rhode Island has announced it is closing.
Laura’s Pleasant View Diner — located at 132 Pleasant View Avenue — issued a statement that April 11 will be its last day.
“This last decade has had many ups and downs, but none more challenging than this last year,” said the diner in a statement. “We didn’t know what it was like to have ten sudden open shifts on a Friday until this past year…this constant change has begun to alter our restaurant becoming impersonal and inconsistent. This is wasn’t want we pride ourselves on what we want our diner to become.”

According to the diner's Facebook page, “Laura started at the restaurant as a bus girl when she was 14 years old. 17 years later, the journey continues as we pass the 6 year anniversary at the Diner and look towards opening a second location at 945 Douglas Pike."
"We take pride in serving great food at fair and reasonable prices. Beyond that the Diner is our home away from home, everyone who works there and comes in is part of our extended family!”
