Louie’s Family Restaurant on Brook Street in Providence has been open since 1946, nearly 80 years of feeding the city with a straightforward diner menu built around generous portions and the kind of consistency that earns multiple generations of the same family eating at the same counter. It appeared in Season 7, Episode 11 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Family Style,” which aired November 2, 2009. Guy Fieri called the BBQ chicken ravioli “16 tickets to Flavortown” — made from scratch with 16 ingredients. The meatloaf and the all-day breakfast menu are the other reasons regulars keep showing up.
