(The most honest review possible) . Not polite , friendly , nor welcoming . I had to apologize to my mother in law for subjecting her to this unpleasant experience.Myself (father of 3 ) my wife her sister and mother were having family day together exploring our home area (The Poconos) and always passed this place but never had the time to stop in . We all agreed some coffee and snacks would be great and today we decided to get give them a shot . Our Plan was to have everything to go but just see what the Shop was all about . I walked in first with my 3 year old in my hands came across a woman who look at us like we were in the wrong place .I said Hi ?? and encourage my 3 years old to do the same and her response She took a deep sigh and her body language was as if we were not welcome and her response was not Hello it was “we are no longer allowing people to sit and eat . Take out Only “ very rudely . I said OK ?? ?? and then turn to the two people behind the counter and gave a “Hello ??” to both as to suggest we were excited to give this place a shot and I said this place must get busy. The first thing out of the guys mouth was not Hello or welcome or a smile . It was “Yeah Real Busy” Then the rest of my family walked in and the woman’s first response was “we close in 15 mins” . I mean gheesh lady like there is a way to speak to potential customers but I was very happy we didn’t spend one dime. Every Tuesday is our family adventure day because I am a shop owner too but I dont care what time of day it was would I ever allow a family to feel the way you made me , my daughters my wife my mother and sister feel. We felt like we were back in the 1920’s . All we wanted was a few coffee a soup and maybe some cookies of muffins to go . But I can promise you I won’t give you the chance to make us feel that way again . Good luck with your existing customer base . I’m sure you don’t treat them this way . Also remember I am a local with a big family and plan to open up more shops in the area . A little healthy competition is definitely needed in our area and I promise you I would of fired anyone in my shop that chased away customers like you 3 did. Good Luck ??

I usually LOVE this place. The food is normally great but I normally get the same thing every time I go (italian hoagie). Today I added a muffin to my order and went home to eat it. I almost choked on whatever this is. It was inside the pumpkin cheesecake muffin I bought. Idk how something so massive gets inside a muffin without someone knowing but that was awful. I get things happen but that was pretty bad. If that was given to my daughter and she choked on it I'd be absolutely livid. The only reason I'm posting this is because this isn't the first time this has happened to us here. Last time in our coleslaw had plastic in it as well. I would say the food is really good, and it is worth going here, just check your food. I have pictures of whatever it was in my muffin (I think a butter wrapper) but don't know how to post them.

The Smokey and the Bacon is where it's at. Everything here is delicious but the Smokey and the Bacon is the best item on the menu.

Amazing food!!! Owner is great and cozy atmosphere
We live right here in Mountain Home. So ths is not a “weekender” sending in a review. If it wasn’t the BEST place ever, tje locals would never go back. Aside from that, they make the absolutely most wonderful sandwiches and Rays homemade soups are fantastic. Also aside, the folks that work there go above and beyond to help you with your order. Friendly , cheerful, it’s the place you go when you need a lift, coffee or smile wise. Spend a little time there, if you want “in and out” in 10 minutes, to go a fast food place on the highway. Those of us here in town love the atmosphere and the friendship. Weekend welcome, too.
