Great place! Friendly staff! Good food!
The food here was unbelievably bland. Literally the worst breakfast potatoes I've ever had which surprised me because it is a fairly simple dish. The waitress I had was extremely unfriendly and forgetful, BUT the other wait staff seemed to be far more welcoming. The only thing I think this place offers was pretty affordable priced meals.

Food is GREAT! Wait staff is the BEST ♥️
Wonderful little diner in a quaint little town. Great food and very personable service. Atmosphere is small, home town and cozy. We were there for breakfast, which was traditional new england--and awesome.
Love this place for breakfast when in the area.
Home fries were very tasty. Prices are reasonable
Great breakfast....YUM
First time there, everyone was very friendly good waitress
My wife, a friend, and I meet up here weekly. The staff is friendly, the food is great, and the service is quick. What more can you ask? Go for breakfast, or go for fish and chips on a Friday!
Old school diner feel, but modern food choices… one of the best around…

Terrible Experience – Disrespectful and Unprofessional Management
I wish I could give this place zero stars. My fiancé and I had an extremely unpleasant experience here due to the rude and condescending behavior of the manager. My fiancé ordered a dish and, after one bite, realized he didn’t like it. We politely asked if it could be taken off the bill since he barely touched it, but we were told the only option was to exchange it while still paying for the full meal. Fair enough—but when I asked to speak with the manager, things took a shocking turn.
From the moment she approached us, her attitude was unnecessarily hostile. Instead of handling the situation professionally, she made an incredibly rude and offensive remark, asking if my fiancé could read and blaming him for not noticing an ingredient in the food description. When I called out her condescending tone and asked if her comment was racially motivated, she doubled down by saying, “We are not racist; we have plenty of Mexicans working for us.”
At that point, the situation escalated further. Rather than de-escalating or acknowledging how inappropriate her comment was, she became aggressive, threatened to call the police, and even brought out another employee to try to pressure us into leaving. The entire ordeal was humiliating, unnecessary, and completely unprofessional.
This was, without a doubt, one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. If you are a person of color, please be cautious before coming here. No one deserves to be treated this way. I highly recommend taking your business elsewhere.
The service, atmosphere and food are top notch! The waitress was incredibly kind and had the best recommendations for a couple of out of towners. Then the whole staff joined in and rounded out the fantastic experience. Thank you so much! If we ever make it out this way again we will most definitely stop in again. Thank you!

Great breakfast place
This place has no competition for breakfast. They shut down for the month of July, and I tried a couple of different neighboring restaurants, and none of them came even close to the quality of service, food, our atmosphere.
Country kitchen is the best!!!!
