great food, great service at an unbelievable price…read more we stopped in here on our way back to Boston. We had no pre read what we were getting. I didn't see the menu, nada. this was literally the best meal of our entire vacation! (we spent 5-6 times more elsewhere and this still topped it!). Google maps cited it as the closest restaurant with the least diversion from our path. We are soooo happy we went. I would recommend it to anyone for a real hometown experience. Thank Y'all for an amazing lunch. I got an open faced hamburger with fries and pickled beets and my husband got the club sandwich with turkey. (adding in some amazing homemade coconut At the end). my burger was really great. my husband loved his sandwich. he is a picky and not a big eater but he ate every bite of his meal and most of the pie. This is the kind of simple (but great) diner food I miss so so much. it just doesn't really exist anymore. it literally made my trip! we were total strangers unlike nearly everyone in there that was greeted by name. they treated us like they knew us for years and every person in the diner staff engaged with us while we were there. 15/10 experience. I so wish I lived locally so I could go there regularly!

This is an older restaurant that seems like it's frequented by locals. Not truly a diner which in…read moremy mind is a metal building with counter seating and booths. This is more of a café. A table for six is right inside the door. Tables of two and four seats take up the rest of the space and it's decorated in a variety of newspaper articles, signs and other miscellany. They have a small parking lot next to the building. The spots are tight so be prepared to squeeze into and out of your vehicle. There are several steps up into the restaurant from the sidewalk. They offer breakfast all day so we both got what we wanted. I ordered eggs cooked my way and got their home made bread for a small up charge. The bread was a thick slice of tasty white that I enjoyed. They offer egg plates with a variety of items including meats and potatoes. The hamburger my dining companion ordered was a big portion with lots of fresh toppings cooked to the temperature he requested. Our waitress was very nice. She kept an eye on us, was efficient and pleasant. My coffee was good and came with those little single serve creamers. Nice little breakfast and lunch spot.

Talk about food! Well, I traveled with my friend (2 hours) to her medical appt. I was up early…read moreand no time for breakfast as we had to be on time. Check in was a long process. Finally, she gets called in for her 10:00 appt. Almost two hours later we were done and both starved. This place, "The Fort" was recommended to us by the greeters at the Dartmouth Hitchcock medical ctr. WOW! It was exactly what we wanted. GPS said we had arrived, but where the heck is it? I remembered that we were told you had to drive around the back. She was hesitant. Yup, that's a gas station...keep going. We landed. Walked in... It was like going to a back room of a place where illegal things take place, I guess we used the wrong door, lol! Upon entering the actual diner, you are greeted with a display case of muffins and donuts that are about the size of your head! Just around the corner are pies. We were immediately seated. The table next to ours was a man eating a HUGE breakfast! BISCUITS AND GRAVY! Oh my, that looked delicious! Yup, that's what I ordered! Two scrambled eggs sat atop of that. This plate was HUGE! Best I have ever had.... and I finished almost the entire plate. My friend had lunch. She kept remarking that she was eating a "real" hamburger!!!! It was cooked to perfection! Our only complaint was that our meals were not hot, which was odd because we waited an awfully long time for our food. BUT, it was well worth the wait! Service was good and ambience in my opinion was good too. On the inside, it reminded me of a log cabin. Overall great experience! Sadly, I couldn't leave without some of their enormous baked goods. ...Sigh... I am just so weak!"...

We stopped in for breakfast on a weekend morning. There was no wait and the food was delivered…read morequickly. Our order included pancakes, a "regular" breakfast sandwich and a gluten free breakfast sandwich. All three were a hit, but I especially want to call out the pancakes and the GF breakfast sandwich. The pancakes are a family recipe and were delicious. The bagel used for the GF sandwich was amazing - fresh and soft. They don't make them onsite, but order them from VT. The GF bagel was organic!! We learned that many of their ingredients are local and organic when possible. Given the high quality, premium products overall, we thought the pricing was absolutely fair. We also had the opportunity to sample the GF lemon cookie. Sooooo good. It was full of lemon flavor without being overwhelming and just the right amount of sweetness. We will definitely be back!

Place seemed new and I think it is having some growing pains. In the end, I think it is going to be…read moregreat. The staff seemed young and inexperienced...not engaging much with customers. My food was tasty but did not come out as described on the menu. The menu said it would have an egg, chicken sausage, and cheese on a jalapeño biscuit. Instead, it had ham (or Canadian bacon) and no cheese and no chicken sausage. The food runner was having difficulty resolving a problem at another table so I opted to just shut up and eat my food the way it was. So, my fault for not letting them know about the mistake. My husband was satisfied with his roast beef hash and eggs. We split a cinnamon sticky bun. It was sticky and tasted good but nothing really special. The bun was...tough. Although it wasn't that great, I feel like this place could really be great with a little more attention to detail and staff that was a little older or more experienced.

They have a great variety of food, including some GF options, and they make their own syrups! I tried the caramel latte, asked for it less sweet, and it was perfect. I also went with the classic breakfast sandwich on GF bread. Honestly, I'd probably skip the GF bread next time. It felt a little overwhelming for the sandwich, so I ended up eating it open-faced. As you'd expect, the GF bread just wasn't my favorite. BUT--the GF blueberry muffin was really good! It had a nice crunchy top with just a hint of spice, which I loved. Overall, a really great café spot with good coffee, plenty of options, and some solid gluten-free choices. Definitely worth stopping by!

I still think about this place on the REGULAR. We stumbled across it while traveling, and I'm…read moregenuinely upset that I live halfway across the country because I would become an embarrassingly frequent customer. One thing I've noticed is that coffee shops usually excel at one thing--they either have amazing coffee and mediocre food, or great food and forgettable coffee. This place somehow nails both. We ordered an incredible sandwich, a super unique breakfast burrito, and a biscuit with maple butter that I still dream about. For coffee, we had a light roast pour-over and a flat white, and both were absolutely phenomenal. Despite being packed on a gorgeous fall day, the service was surprisingly fast and everyone was so friendly. And the atmosphere? Unreal. Sitting there, looking out the open garage door at the colorful fall trees in the middle of a charming small town... this Florida girl absolutely lost her mind. If I lived anywhere nearby, this would be my weekend coffee spot without question.
