We really enjoyed breakfast here. Service was good and the portions were ample. The stuffed hash browns were delicious…the brisket did not disappoint! The hash browns were crispy on the outside and seasoned well. My over easy eggs were a little over done, but the pancakes were good sized (ask for blueberries!).

The breakfast food was prepared in an excellent manner, very clean open kitchen kids loved watching . Pancakes are exceptional, and have a very great homemade taste. Stuffed hash browns, omelettes, and French toast were all excellent. Staff is extremely welcoming , very kid friendly atmosphere. There is a real pride to ownership at the restaurant. Two people in our party got wraps they liked those as well. We will have to give this a try for dinner or a fish fry. The only improvement I could suggest is having a sign at the front telling people to seat themselves. There was a bit of confusion at the entrance of people waiting to pay and waiting to be seated they didn’t have to wait. Overall, for someone looking for a good diner with quality food this would be the place. If you have young kids, I wouldn’t hesitate going. First time going and will be returning.

First time here. Came with a small group for breakfast. It's s small standalone building, with large front windows. To the right of it is "The Parlor" which I think is a bar. (Inside is an open doorway that connected the two) Inside is a breakfast counter, and then table that go towards the rear. It's a bit narrow at the back, giving you a bit more privacy, and quiet. Inside we got greeted by a friendly host. Got us to a table towards the back. There were fans blowing, so we ended up moving tables. We got waters, menus, and placed our drink orders. The service was friendly and efficient. Ordered a Belgian Waffle, Pancakes with Eggs, and some BlueBerry Pancakes. Everything came out quickly. Hot, and Tasty. We were expected that the BlueBerry pancakes would have had the blueberries in the pancakes. Also, the picture of the Belgian Waffle showed whipped cream, and some fruit, but the what came was just plain. (not a big deal, just different than shown). I decent breakfast.

We went in on a busy Sunday. We walked in and stood at the front for at least 5 minutes, with 3 servers making eye contact with us, with no greeting at all. We finally seated ourselves at the front counter, which was a great place to watch the cooks, who were incredible. Our server was very friendly and efficient, as was the owner and his wife. However the blonde busser girl was very slow and unfriendly and slowed up service. The food was very good, however my gravy was a bit gummy. The eggs and toast and steak were great! The prices are very reasonable.

A couple of weeks ago I had the Friday cod loin fish fry, the batter on the fish was excellent thin and crunchy, fish was moist, potato pancakes were tasty along with the coleslaw and Marbled rye. Tonight I had the smoked brisket chimichanga (not deep fried) crispy non greasy and excellent flavor , extra heavily loaded beans had a great variety of smoked meat added. Service has been great on all 3 of my visits. Portions at the “Kitchen” are generous and price reasonable. So nice to have a restaurant in Sussex with a professional meat smoker and the skill to use it…. Forget to mention the Home made pies , I had the peanut butter pie WOW

This place is great! It's a cozy diner with a lot of character! The staff was very nice, attentive, and checked on us often. My food was also tasty, modestly priced, and prepared quickly. I order the meat Lovers scrambler with hash browns and I would definitely get it again. Highly recommended giving them a try for breakfast! The only thing I did not enjoy was the coffee. I felt it was bitter, but everything else was on point.
