Likely the best pancake I’ve ever had. Certainly the biggest I’ve ever had. It was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Absolute perfection.

Slow service, food was ok. I'll come back on a non holiday weekend, for sure. I think the kitchen was overwhelmed by everyone visiting the area.

I may have only been passing through between NY and NH, but this diner feels like home. We were welcomed like old friends that have been too busy to stop in. Not only was our waitress amazing, the owner was also quick to attend our needs. The Christmas Eve specials included a Monte Cristo, and it took me back to my childhood. The fresh maple syrup just took it over the top. If you're hoping for a corporate cookie cutter, look somewhere else. If you want grandma's home cooking, and the warmth and love it comes seasoned in: this is the place. Thanks again for the amazing service. ~RJ~

Pretty disappointing across the board. The building is grungy and rundown, which should have been my first clue to leave. Service was meh - the server/owner was much more invested in her conversation with other local business owners (the people who own The Local - which we will be boycotting moving forward based on that conversation). The conversation included some pretty gnarly details about the state of the building the diner is located in (apparently they share a landlord). Like I said, she was very invested in THAT convo. The giant pancake was good, but this is where the scale tipped completely in the wrong direction. For a massive, plate sized, extra fluffy pancake, we were provided a tiny deli cup of syrup....and then told if we wanted more we could buy it by the bottle. Are you kidding me?? You know you are a diner in VERMONT, right? The land of flowing maple? The rest of the food (bagels, hash, eggs and benedict) were basic, nothing to write home about and definitely not worth the bill at the end of the meal. Do yourself a huge favor and skip over to Iron Coffee in Hoosick Falls. Owner Mike Milliron makes every customer feel like the only person in the room. He renovated his building (it's gorgeous and so so clean), and he's doing great things with coffee (roasts his beans in house!). It's more of a coffee house so has a very limited but very delicious menu of breakfast sandwiches.

Loved this place. Epic pancakes and omelets. Along with an amazing hostess in Kathy. Would definitely recommend.

Papa Pete's not only has the largest pancakes I have ever seen, but they are also delicious! Everything we ordered from the pancakes, to the breakfast burrito, to the homemade corned beef hash was incredible. What we may have enjoyed more was the owner Kathy's hospitality, though. She was so friendly, funny, and welcoming and made our breakfast feel like we were guests in her home. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Great food. Great prices. Great atmosphere. It's a small place so you may wait longer for food but it's so worth the wait. The pancakes are huge and tasty. The staff is friendly and hysterical. Highly recommend this place.

I've been going to thos cute little place for years and always been happy. Last week hubs and I went and the owners daughter was rude and bossy. She acted like she was doing us a favor by being there. While there a customer choked and the daughter yelled at the customer telling him if he was going to choke he needed to take it outside. Wow! Just wow! I've been in customer service basically my whole life and was horrified by the actions of the daughter of the owner.

Normally love this place, but someone needs to give coffee to the kitchen. Over medium eggs are not the same as eggs with barely solidified whites.

We were spending a fall weekend in the area and ate outside, which in and of itself was so kind of the waitress because she was the only one working that morning. She brought out a treat for our dog, and just was so, so kind and funny, fantastic service.Beyond the great service, the giant pancakes (and I do mean giant) were so yummy, as was the bacon.Can't wait to stop back here during our next trip to Vermont, I highly recommend Papa Pete's to anyone in the area!
