Benton's Sugar Shack

first time there today, I had the toasted coconut and banana cream pie pancakes with bacon and homefries, hubby had the breakfast burrito. Both were delicious and service was great.

Super cute place. Unfortunately, the coffee tasted like water so I sent it back. I was super excited to try the cinnamon raisin french toast. It was super dry. Definitely old bread! At least the place was cute and the maple syrup was warm.

It gets no better than this. The French toast and pancakes out of this world. We been to many places and this place is the best. Old New Hampshire rustic sugar house feel. Mike was very kind to give us a tour of where they make their maple syrup this is a family run business that goes back 150 years. Make sure to grab there maple syrup. We will be ordering from NY so we never run out. Very very affordable place to eat myself and my wife had two big platters with coffee for 25.00. Not including half gallon of maple syrup we bought. Don’t be fooled into going nowhere else. We been to the other places they over charge , give you packet of maple syrup and the plate is small and food un appealing. Thank you Mike 🙏🏼

Customer service is not a priority when dining here so be prepared. This based on dining here more than once, usually a pit stop these past years of leaf peeping. On this occasion they have what appears to be a very young immature and inexperienced teen running the front of house knowing it’s such a busy place this time of year. The food (that hasn’t sold out after you’ve waited well over an hour when told 20 min) is good but it’s the service that leaves such a bad taste in your mouth not wanting to come back. 3 times was not a charm and I am now taking my business to Polly’s.

Iconic breakfast / brunch destination deep in the heart of NH. Always make it a point to visit whenever I come through NE. They harvest and produce some of the best maple syrup in the country. Blueberry pancakes & home fries to die for. And the Fall beauty, the local characters & the rustic charm of this place draws visitors from all over the world. Be patient! It's worth the wait!

Great breakfasts, and I highly recommend a quick stop in the little gift shop area. Definitely for the Maple Syrup. Nothing beats homemade products.

Parking: Get there early. There is a good amount of parking. But it fills up fast. It looks like they are expanding to have more parking.
