Well worth the almost 1hr 30m wait on a Sunday morning. Had a cup of hot coffee and a maple donut while waiting. It was one of the best donuts I ever had in my life. For my meal I had the mini Parker’s special. The pancake was apple cider flavor which was perfection. I definitely recommend coming here!

*** UNCOOKED PANCAKES? ***
I've found those more familiar with this racket refer to it as Parker's Mosquito Barn -- an alert to first-time patrons of the ambiance awaiting them. Horrific food, equally BAD service. If this place was on fire I'd be the first to arrive on the scene with a can of gasoline. Before I realized what this dive was all about I'd dropped in once in the dim past and was served RAW PANCAKES. I mean I've never heard of such a botch at a licensed(?) establishment. Cut them in half and they were oozing out onto the plate. When I brought this to the attention of the waitress she offered to take a dollar off the bill! Completely numb. Upon egress as I'd paid the bill the owner was at the register and asked if everything was ok. I thought this was a good time to clue him in on the RAW PANCAKES particularly with the long line of customers queued in line awaiting their opportunity for a dose of the same. He said I wouldn't be charged for the RAW PANCAKES. Thanks a bunch. Absolutely compelling customer service.
Later a friend decided to take a few of us out as a thank you gesture and I couldn't really turn down the invitation. The better half and I ordered fish and were given something which looked like it was scooped out of their aquarium. About two ounces of cold fish in the middle of an otherwise barren plate. Someone asked for bread with dinner to which the waitress scoffed "we can't do that" and walked away. This place is such a nightmare I can't understand how it is still in business. I'm just hoping for a lightning strike in the wee hours of the morning to rid us of this eyesore.

Depending on the time someone arrives, there could be a wait, but it's not bad. Lots of things to see around the restaurant. Food is good, maple syrup and apple cider pancakes are very good.

Food wasn't terrible. Was average. That's not meant as a knock. I had simple eggs, sausage, and breakfast potatoes. Sausage was extremely tasty. My eggs were over easy, soft yolk. Breakfast potatoes fell a bit flat for me [not much seasoning]. Nothing memorable, but certainly edible. The atmosphere was comfortable and enjoyable. The staff was very friendly and attentive without being overbearing, accommodating. Never felt rished, never felt overlooked, and never felt neglected. Timing of seating, eating, and leaving flowed comfortably. Would love to revisit at peak season, perhaps. Was a quiet weekend when we went in later-summer. All-in-all, I would definitely recommend it. I didn't order anything that allows a chef to demonstrate any culinary flair mostly. You may have a much more memorable food choice! Give them a whirl!
Parking: Sloped entry, gravel parking area. We arrived on our motorcycle. Certain weather conditions could make it dangerous.
Kid-friendliness: Yes. Comfortable atmosphere - space and staff. They have hi-chairs.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, ramp entry. Not 100% recalling, but bathroom access in wheelchair could be difficult. I wasn't specifically thinking of it until this question was posed.

Everything about this place is a 10/10. Delicious food, reasonable price, welcoming staffs, a goodie store right next to it, did I mention DELICIOUS food? We were on our way back from a camping trip and saw this on Google maps and decided to give it a try. Oh boy what a pleasant surprise! Their eggs Irish is THE best. Definitely try it out! Ever since I’ve been recommending everyone who’s going to NH to stop by if they want a good ol American diner. The line could be a bit long, around 20-30 minutes depending on when you dine, but they have a store next to it for you guys to take a look.

This is a fall must! But come prepared, this is basically a whole day experience. Came at 10:00 and tables were taking up to 2 hours of wait. Food is good, service is good just very busy.
They have a little shed that they sell coffee and donuts out of so it makes the wait go quicker.
Also the little market is worth checking they have a bunch of cute NH souvenirs for those visiting from other places
Parking: This place gets really busy during fall foliage so be ready to have to find parking around the perimeters and not only the parking lot

Good food but the terrible service left a bad taste in my mouth. The waiter had a bad attitude and it ruined everything.
