Let's start with what you see when you pull up. It needs a lot of love on the outside; there is rotting trim, paint looks drab and chipping, and when you first approach, it is a solid wood door with a handwritten note on the door. I half thought we would walk in and there would be smoking in the place (there isn't). Fairly clean on the inside, and the food was pretty darn good, as was our waitress. Weirdly, I noticed that everyone's coffee cup was completely different,...

A very good breakfast diner with a very typical menu. I had eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. Also on the menu are omelets, skillet, biscuits and gravy, was there on a week day so the place was empty for a 9 o'clock breakfast. I can see where locals would flock here on weekends. Service was good and the server friendly. You pay at the register. Not a lot of choices in Gardner, but this one is pretty good for what it is.

I am a Pie Guy. They have really good pie and it is always changing. I sit at the counter and right in front of the kitchen. The chef and team are really organized and work as a team. I am really impressed by the way they get the orders out so fast. I recommend Trails Kitchen to anyone who wants good home style cooking.
