Excellent place for a hearty breakfast with a cozy diner vibe. We loved the Paysanne with cheddar cheese and olive bread, and the sourdough buckwheat pancakes. Also very good bang for your buck - it was about $25 for two of us and we were stuffed and had leftovers.

Stopped by here for a couple of turkey sandwiches to go. The place looks like it's been around for decades. The two employees who are older must be a married couple that have been with each other for decades with the way they talk to each other lol. Prices aren't bad and look like they don't change that much over the years. Looks to have plenty of bread options. Breakfast only on Sundays. Plenty of parking in the back of the building. If you want service with a smile, don't come here, but if you want a good sandwich, this place will do the trick.

You know what I love about this place, it's authentic, you ordered a sub with tomato and Eileen slices it by hand, thick, the way you want it, there's a lot of good restaurants in placid but if you don't eat here you're missing out, I've been a summer resident of placid for almost 20 years and I look forward the most to grabbing a sandwich and a cold boylan grape soda, highly recommend, best place in town, try it, you'll be hooked like me

The lady at the cash was so rude. I wouldn’t go back just based on the service. It’s too bad cause the guy working in the back was nice as pie. Also the sourdough was awful. Dry and salty.

After reading a lot of reviews, we spend a fortune in bread here, just to throw it out after the first bite. Stale old dry bread. Nothing good to say about that place.

We will not return. Could be an amazing place but the owner was rude and while there were Interesting menu items, the sourdough bread was beyond dense. I love a dense bread, but this was a struggle to swallow.

As many reviewers stated, the device was borderline rude from the lady at the register. As a home sourdough baker, the sourdough there is very flat, dense, under-proofed, and it way too salty. Overall it was a terrible experience.
I've had the sourdough pancakes, croquet madame, Thai chicken sandwich, and roasted vegetable sandwich. The sourdough pancakes were amazing with a little bit of sourdough tang, slight sweetness, and a wonderfully developed flavor. Some of the best pancakes I've had and definitely unique.I thought the croquet madame was basically ham, cheese, and egg on good bread, not bad but nothing particularly special.The Thai chicken sandwich is a solid chicken breast with some spices and peanut sauce, it's decent.The roasted vegetable sandwich on olive bread is awesome! Both the roasted veggies themselves and the bread itself.Sandwiches are not massive, probably similar in size to what you might make at home.After reading the reviews I expected surly service but I found the lady and gentleman (presumably the owners) friendly enough.

Delicious meal and wonderful service! I would definitely recommend the sourdough pancakes. The rest of my group ordered the egg sandwich and other dishes that were just as good ?

We look forward to getting sandwiches here while on vacation every year . This year was clearly a huge disappointment. Not only was the lady very curt and crabby which has always been true, but the quality and value for price of the food has taken a nose dive ! A brief, polite( on my end) conversation about my no longer offered, but still on the chalkboard favorite sandwich, chicken Gorgonzola was met with frustration and down right rudeness.When we opened our sandwiches, back at our cabin, we found the bread was VERY stale and sandwiches most definitely 1/2 the size of previous years. I asked for a half sandwich and got a sandwich obviously made from the the first or second quite small piece in the loaf, that I could barely bite into because it was so hard, and literally only 3 bites!! I know homemade bread can have a different texture, but this was indeed stale! Quite expensive too for 3 bites! Very sad our tradition ended on such a sour note. No quality control here, for sure. Off day, perhaps? Maybe, but I thinkwe’ll be looking elsewhere from now on. Respect for customers sorely lacking here.This place needs an upgrade starting with quality control and polite, cordial customer service!

s place is like being in a Seinfeld episode set in the Adirondacks. Bring your appetite and a thick skin! Be ready for the cashier's salty attitude and the cook's tasty dishes. If you want caffe lattes and petit fours served with simpering smiles, go somewhere else. If you want a plate of belly-busting food and a loaf of hearty sourdough bread to go, and are entertained rather than repelled by acerbic service, this place is for you!
