Classic diner food is second to none. From hot, hearty burgers to crispy freshly cut fries, there’s nothing quite like American comfort food. Rhode Island’s mobile diner goes way back to a time long, long before indoor dining became a risky endeavor. And over a century later, Haven Brothers is doing better than ever.
Haven Brothers was founded in 1893 in Providence, when a widowed immigrant named Anne Philomena Haven founded it with the proceeds from her husband’s life insurance policy.

Back then, the mobile diner was a lunch cart… a horse-drawn wagon, in fact.

Haven Brothers is known for far more than its history, however. The food is fantastic.
Haven Brothers Mobile, LLC / Facebook The restaurant has received local and national attention for years, including a recent appearance on Wicked Bites.
The menu consists mainly of juicy burgers, Haven Dogs, and scrumptious sides like fries and onion rings.

The fries here are tasty on their own. But add some bacon and cheese and you’re in for a real treat.

Wash your lunch down with a cold, thick, delicious milkshake.

Haven Brothers can be spotted all over Providence, depending on the day (and they’ll cater your big event when current conditions allow).
