The diner was born on this street
Providence gave the world its first lunch wagon on Westminster Street in 1872. Our diner car came along in 1947 and has now come home to the same street.
Built by the Kullman Dining Car Company in New Jersey, Poirier’s Diner fed three shifts of mill workers in Olneyville for decades. Saved from demolition, moved and carefully restored, it’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and back to doing what it does best.
