Our favorite place closed so we decided to try this. My meal was the steak omelette and it was beyond terrible. The steak seemed like it was boiled. I could not eat the omelette at all! I only ate the toast, can't really mess up toast :(

I have no idea how this place garnished 4.4 stars. All the juices are ocean spray and concentrated orange juice you could buy at a gas station. Have had better gas station coffee. The food specifically the potatoes tasted like it had been made days in advance and not stored properly, also wasn’t hot. Bacon was limp and cold, 3 strips for $4.50! Kitchen on full display and is dirty and grimy. Servers picking up toast with their bare hands for fresh plates of food, wiping them on their shirt, no gloves. Putting glassware upside down on the bar when the tables are not properly cleaned / wiped down (a dirty rag doesn’t count)after guests leave. Extremely average food. Below average. Like some other places on the mountain, I think they get away with this because out of towners are hungover and desperate. Would not return here if you paid me.

A great place to get a delicious breakfast before the start of the day. We were seated super quickly and did not have to wait for food long. Super homey vibe.

A really nice breakfast/lunch shop located near Killington ski area. Pro tip, stop in early if you want to make first chair at the mountain. Also can get bizzy! But that's because it's good! I grab eggs and coffee when I am in the area. If you have a hotel that doesn't offer breakfast, give em a try.

While this was my second time as a patron, this time with my whole family, the experience started off on the wrong footing. Whatever the reason, the lady handling the hosting, order taking, and cashing out, did not even bother to come by the entrance where we and a few other parties were waiting for at least 20 minutes. I mind you, there wasn't even a "hello" or "hi there is a 20 minute wait", not to mention, no eye contact or any acknowledgement that we were there. While we waited we observed a whole section of the dinner being completely empty and not utilized. Also as she seemed to continue to take orders from the bar, there was a line of customers building up to check out. Eventually we got seated. We waited at least another 10 minutes before we could even get water or tea. A few minutes later we finally ordered and the food came out in a reasonable time. As far as the food quality goes, there wasn't anything worth bragging about. The cook did his job seemingly composed and with appropriate timelines. The two bus boys who were also handling some tea and beverage order taking and delivery seemed nice and able to probably fulfill other duties. It appeared as if they were seasonal foreign labor and that they somehow did not have permission to do so from someone running the operation. Overall, I think this place has the potential to be a 4-5 star place if the human experience/bottleneck can be resolved. I still recommend this breakfast over hotel fare if you have at least one hour to spare!Vegetarian options: Not intended to serve the vegetarian crowd but you can probably find something. Not for vegans though.Dietary restrictions: Not a great place for those with a lot of dietary restrictions or vegan.Kid-friendliness: Kids can be accommodated easily but I am not sure about infants.

Today, 01/02/24 - we went in for breakfast (4 of us), got sat, waited, and waited... nothing! Two other tables got sat after us, they got drinks from a guy who was wiping and setting up tables, we were just ignored. Waited 20mins hoping, but looked like just one server was working and doing everything - taking orders, running food, cashier... we just walked out. If you have hours to spend at breakfast great! If you want to get to the slopes I recommend skipping this place. Maybe it's just like this on weekdays idk

Amazing food... depending when you go... I'm aware every where is short staffed but very clear they will hire anyone to put a face in front of you. Been coming here for years and have started to realize if the twins aren't working we should not be eating. Sadly without the one in the kitchen and the long hair girl with piercings the place is a disaster. Sorry to say staff so blatant but.... Our family came up about a month and a half ago, the twins were working, she instantly recognized us although gave the same great service to everyone. She's fast even when the place is full and she's doing it all. The kid in the back, the brother, makes great consistent food, we had a great time and it was all very fast between getting there, getting our food, and our checks. Vibes were perfect! Previously have seen a girl who we think is related to the twins who isn't the worst either. Went again the other day, wasn't nearly as busy as it usually is, the rude lady had multiple helpers, was screaming at a guy who asked for his check.. the food was horrible, we were there for almost two hours waiting for our food and then check. The server was incredibly disrespectful to everyone, not just us. We asked about the twin with long hair and our waitress was offended, mumbled under her breath, and told us the girl is going to be on maternity leave soon... then told us to they close at 12 (it was 11:15) and if we wanted food it was now or never. "Sadly", we will not return until the nice girl does. We prefer breakfast without being yelled at. 90% of the staff are very mean and have not a clue what they are doing. If you get the correct staff when there our family loves the Irish , pancakes, "gut buster", and of course the banana bread French toast! My cousin just mentioned as well it's possible the twins family owns the restaurant and maybe that's why they actually care.. so to give props where props are surely due.. when the right staff is there it's a must try and family tradition... if they are not there it's a total skip. I come from a large family and have never had to deal with so much yelling over breakfast until I came and had this terrible waitress, so go at your own risk! Happy skiing y'all!
