Plouffe's in Pawtucket Has Closed
This week, the diner -- which used to be the Cup and Saucer -- confirmed that Saturday would be its last day.
"Plouffes Diner will be closing its door indefinitely," wrote Cara Jenness on social media. "To say that I’m sad is an understatement. I have met so many amazing customers who have now become part of my family (you know who you are), devoted myself to building a successful catering business and basically turned a restaurant that was about to go belly up into what it is today. The memories that I have I will cherish forever."

I continue to tell myself that when one door closes another one will open. Plouffes Diner is currently for sale and I’m confident the right person will be able to come in and pick up right where I left off," said Jenness.
On its website, Plouffe's described itself as follows.
"Known for our delicious affordable traditional and unique food and 50's decor, Plouffe's retro 60 seat diner and pub has been a mainstay in historic Downtown Pawtucket since 2009. Bob Plouffe, whose family has been in the food business for over 100 years, opened the diner following the death of the owner of the original Cup N' Saucer in 2006.
Plouffe's offers traditional food such as bacon and eggs, pizza, weiners, wraps, fish 'n chips, burgers, sandwiches, lunch plates, pulled pork, and a whole assortment of fries, along with such items as our famous Portuguese Sweet Bread French Toast and meat pies. We offer daily specials that you can view on our Facebook page.
The 50's decor, designed by Pawtucket arts guru Rich Watrous, makes eating at Plouffe's especially enjoyable. Throughout the restaurant you'll find 50's style soda fountains and juke boxes, celebrity mannequins that include Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, and Al Capone, racing and Harley Davidson memorabilia, Coke and Pepsi nostalgia items, TVs, wi-fi, a wall on which diners can leave comments and photos galore."
