A group of 7 of us stopped for breakfast before we headed home after a long weekend (3.5 hours away). Our waitress was absolutely wonderful and I feel horrible that her name slipped my mind! She had no problem discussing my picky orange vs white cheddar cheese choices...yes, white tastes better and that's just what they had...and then she joined in with everyone telling me I can't change my order after someone else mentioned another kind ? She honestly made us all feel right at home. The food was EXCELLENT. They make their own rolls for the breakfast sandwiches and homemade bread for the toast and boy were they both delicious. Every single one of us would definitely stop back if in town again!

Favorite place for b-fast when we ski st Whiteface. Nice hard working people own this place. Not Denny's or Ihop. i'm guessing the paper plates, cups, plastic utensils...is a cost saving maneuver. Wasn't like thst few years back...but i don't own the place, so guessing it saves $$. Great bfast, good people...can't ask for more in 2024.

Don’t expect much and you won’t be disappointed. We were a party of 4 waiting for a table even though the “large” table was available. “We save that for larger parties.” Ummm, we were the large party waiting for a table! Food and drinks all served on paper plates and plastic cups. Good cinnamon rolls.

I can't say that I have eaten here in a little over 38 years or so. That's when my parents owned and operated this business under a different name. I was reading the reviews and keep seeing negative reviews due to 1. Not being open even when they are supposed to be. A lot of the best Mom and Pop places are actually run by Mom and Dad and kids/teenager's. They CAN'T be open if anyone in their family is sick as they live in the attached house directly behind the dinner. I don't think any customers would want to see or hear the sick person through the kitchen. 2. Paper plates, Plastic utensils and Styrofoam cups. As the teenager that was responsible for bussing and washing all of those plates, utensils and cups; I can say that they are saving time and money. They don't have to pay anyone to do that job and they don't have to wait for those items to be cleaned in order to seat the next guest. Bravo! You found a good way around this financial strain. 3. If you don't live in Wilmington year round, you don't understand the North Country economy. The owners make the majority of their profits during the summer tourist season and some during hunting season. That's about it. The rest of the year is the locals that come in for breakfast or lunch on their way to work. Wilmington is a small town outside and away from all of the large towns in the North Country. During the winter which starts around the end of October and runs until about April; the locals help keep the lights on. So yeah, the owners might seem more friendly to the locals but that's because they are like family (and some may actually be family) when its 10 below Zero and tne owners are doing their best to keep the pipes from freezing or are putting special coverings on the windows so they don't lose heat. It's not that the owners and staff don't appreciate you, because they very truly do. They are just saying hi to the person that pulled their car out of the 1o foot snow drift last winter.

A lucky find! We sat down and were offered homemade stollen. It was delicious! Better than my Mothers . We ordered eggs and French toast. It is THE best French toast ! Eggs were prepared perfectly and coffee was delicious. We spent quite a bit of time talking to the owner and a very interesting local named Earl. If you are in the area. Well worth the time. Your tastebuds will thank you

The French toast is amazing. It's dipped in custard and caramelized. Thick, soft inside, and crunchy outside.

Before you go judging this place, try going and talking with the owners. They are a family owned and operated restaurant. They are polite and friendly! They work hard and it shows! Yes they use paper plates and plastic utensils but who cares! The food and prices are great and you know what, if it makes sense for them financially then thats all that should matter. Food is phenomenal and staff is top notch. Great atmosphere. Gives me “breakfast at grandma and grandpa’s house” vibes and I love everything about it.

The diner is pretty cute, love the vibes. Food was delicious. My waiter, Sir William Jester the Second was a wonderful fellow. However he was quite odd and kept cracking jokes about my wig. He's balding too so we exchanged some laughsWheelchair accessibility: Sir William told me he built the ramp with his own two hands!
