Was okay. We stopped on a trip further south. Very nice people running it. We had burgers and they were not awful, but not good either.

Honestly, I've never had a better breakfast. Dont let the outside fool you. This place has awesome food, great service, and good prices. Their corned beef hash is freshly made! I have NEVER tasted corned beef hash like this and my God I will be back for it. All the food we ordered was amazing. I make my own sausage gravy and biscuits so I'm very picky about others' but this was by far the only one I've had that is up to my standards. 10/10 would recommend and I will be back.

This is the character of Sandy Hook Frozen in Time. The food is simple and tasty, the dining room decor is charming and inviting and the staff is friendly and readily capable to pinpoint what the area has to offer. The food bar offers singular dining options with a touch of pleasant banter.

Severely Overpriced. We had a 1 breakfast special and a simple short stack and it cost $30 before tip. The order was wrong at first and they never brought the drink I ordered or ever came back so I could ask again. Just go to the Blue Colony down the street...

Slow service, a bit run down (which h gives it some character) but I'm unlikely to go again. Food tasted middle of the road - not bad, but not great either

I'll drive way out of the way to drop in here. It's a strange little place with homey neighbors and delicious home cooked comfort food. I don't get to go as often as I like anymore but when I do, I love the homemade corned beef hash and farm fresh eggs. So, so good.

The perfect quick stop for breakfast or lunch if you’re on I-84 near exit 10. (Note: cash & local checks only) The food is terrific & inexpensive, the atmosphere is homey and the owners are a delight! My family of 3 ate for under $20 and I had the best home fries with peppers and onions I’ve ever had!
