Small local restaurant with a separate dining area as well as outdoor seating. Great name because it is in the middle of nowhere in Exeter. Great food and friendly staff. Located right next to an ice cream shop too 😉

I went to The Middle of Nowhere with low expectations. Much to my surprise, I was more than satisfied with with the hearty delicious breakfast. There is a reason the line is out the door, and the reason is the food. The great friendly service was a welcomed bonus. It's worth the drive and the wait.

Visited on Sunday morning around brunch time. Place was definitely packed and for good reason. While the location itself is not the greatest the food and service is spot on. It has your usual fare of diner type food however it is perfectly executed.

I love the food and the place is very nice but I'm pretty sure they forgot about us in the parking lot because me and my girlfriend and daughter waited a little over an hour for a seat and saw cars come and go. Maybe the wait was that long I'm not sure because they didn't let us know but if i had know I'd be outside in my car waiting to eat breakfast, I would have just went down the road somewhere else.

Great, classic family dinner. An extensive menu of comfort food: all kinds of eggs and breakfast dishes, fried clams (whole-belly and strip), fried and baked fish, a great variety of hot and cold torpedoes (subs to you folks from outside RI), salads, gyros, burgers, sandwiches, meatloaf, cakes and pies,and much more. Reasonable prices. Very pleasant and speedy service. Seating at a small counter and at tables in several cozy dining areas. There's an adjoining ice cream shop open seasonally. Take the family!

Tried the fish and chips tonight! 2 giant slabs of golden fried cod sitting atop a pile of fries!!! So much and so good!! Can't wait to try the rest(3 clamcakes and a cup of chowda!), but I'm too full right now!!

They were voted RI's best. Living in the next town over it seemed a shame to have never been before. Initial appearances, it is a little place and fills up fast due to its reputation.The food was great and the staff friendly and quick. Follow up your meal with ice cream from the stand next door which has a strikingly similar name, yet is not affiliated with the restaurant.

Always great food and service - staff are excellent people. The food and portions are amazing and they are so accommodating. They also have a wonderful ice cream parlor next door and it doesn't matter what time of day you go, they are always on their game. Love their coffee.

This was a treat, for sure! A cozy little out-of-the-way place with booth and counter service, the staff was friendly and the food was delicious. I got a turkey dinner (which is a plate many places find easy to cut corners) and it was all homemade and very tasty. I barely had room for dessert, but had to try the bread pudding. I was not disappointed! I'll come here again on my next trip back from RI.

Good food and service. Ordered eggs with ham, eggs and homefries. A bit salty but tasty. Atmosphere not so great but it's obvious that people like the food here since it's always busy.

Huge portions, friendly staff, and their specials menu had some unique items on it that I wish I'd noticed before I ordered my (absolutely phenomenal) omelette.I've only been able to get out here 2 times in my life as I live in a different state, but whenever we've passed it on the way to somewhere else it's been packed. Several people came in while we were eating that you could tell were regulars, and the chatter made me smile. Great atmosphere that I felt blessed to be a part of. It really made our Sunday.Also their bacon was perfect. They don't even mess around.

Good breakfast joint in Exiter Rhode Island. Which is in the middle of nowhere. Hence the name. It's a small and cozy restaurant that serves up big portions of country style breakfast. Like Ham steak and eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits, and much more. They run daily specials and serve a mean cup of trucker coffee.

We were driving back to RI from Cape Cod and decided to have dinner in RI but didn't know where to go. This is the place we found in google. The name of the restaurant called my curiosity and decided to stop and take a look. Not disappointed at all. We loved that place. The food is delicious. the service was fantastic. Not too expensive, not to fancy . . and there is an Ice cream Next Door... Next to Nowhere... 😊 Very Creative. We will comeback soon.
