CnC may look like nothing special as a nondescript storefront in a low end shopping center, but don't be fooled by the humble appearance. To start with, CnC took corona precautions by giving out pagers and encouraging patrons that are waiting to go shop elsewhere. The decor says fun, and the staff was friendly. First up was the trendy "hot chocolate bomb," which was actually the bomb. Turns milk blue, makes taste buds happy. The table ordered a gamut of food. Waffles were fluffy and powdery sugared, eggs were locally sourced and cooked to perfection, warm maple was actual maple syrup, corned beef was legit, turkey bacon was better than when I make it, pig bacon was thick, pancakes were light and fluffy, home fries were crispy, and the toast was not over buttered. On the way out, there were funny novelty T shirts for sale, as well as Frog and Gator jam. To sum up- 10 out of 10, will eat there again! read more

Good place to eat. However long lines every time I have been there. The inside is covered in funny signs. Staff can be slow due to high volume of people eating. But if you have the time. The food is good read more

I was up visiting the Mohegan Sun casino and stumbled across this place. The name alone instantly made me hungry. As I was driving through the old fashion plaza I stopped and thought this place may not be that good. Let's talk about putting a foot in my mouth. CUSTOMER SERVICE: From the moment I opened the door to walk in I was greeted with Southern Hospitality even though I wasn't in the south. Absolutely love the staff and I really enjoyed reading the back of the shirts for they're all different and they say the craziest things. FOOD: The food came out extremely fast and hot. We tried the messy Mike's sandwich and OMG it's big enough for two people to eat. If you're ever in the area you must give this place a try and don't forget to read all the quirky things on the wall as you sit down and wait for your hot I'm ready to eat food. read more

We had a very good experience at Chat n Chew Cafe. Our order came in time and was delicious. The staff was very nice and polite.

If you're a local or a visitor to Blakeslee, you have to try this downhome, kitschy eatery. Quirky décor with a strong sense of humor, Friendly waitstaff, and a menu that is not the run of the mill like so many others. Breakfast is a must! The lunch menu is also very good but items like the Messy Mike, and some unexpectedly great breakfast specials are the way to go! Great food in a fun environment. You'll know your in the Poconos! read more

We ordered two sandwiches however we got one sandwich and a platter instead .... They were really busy so I think we will give them another try on a less busy day. However since they are kinda pricey I hope they get it right next time. Cost for belly buster sandwich and big one platter (which is what they gave us instead of the ultimate sandwich we wanted) to go cost $40.00 read more

Chat n Chew Cafe - This is a Messy Mike Belly Buster which we got to go, it was okay... they were really busy most of the gravy went to the side... - American Near Me - Blakeslee, Pennsylvania

A group of friends, my fiancée and I decided to stop here based on their Yelp rating. We stopped on our way back home from our weekend getaway in the Poconos. At first I did not think it was a sit down restaurant as it was a part of a strip mall but I was glad to discover that it was. The service was good. Nothing over the top but good. The waitress cracked a few jokes here and there and kept it light. There were a few instances where I felt the waitress could have been slightly more attentive with coffee refills etc as it wasn't too busy since it was a Monday morning after 11. Our food did take a little above average time to come out but there were 7 of us so I can definitely understand. The food was amazing. I ordered the belly buster and could only finish half. It was very good and filling. The coffee was delicious as well. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in the area. The rest of my group also loved their dishes as well. I would love to get a sample of the rest if their offerings some time. read more

We were in the Poconos for the lantern festival but had a couple of hours to kill beforehand. When searching for a brunch lunch spot, this place popped up as one of the higher rating spots. I won't lie, I almost judged a book by it's cover when we saw the entrance. It looked like some ghetto cheap shop at the front but the minute you walk in, you feel guilty for every misjudgment because this place is happening. Tons of staff, lots of customers and many souvenirs and personalized items around the store. They even have their own little souvenir store in the back where you can pick up a cool black t shirt with some of their funny slogans. The server was extremely nice. The menu had a lot of wonderful options that kept us busy for a while. I decided to go with an omelette - just mozarella mushrooms and tomatoes. It was the juiciest omelette I've ever had! Without it being raw of course. There's just something about it... Nd their home fries were lit! Crispy on the outside, flavor and well cooked on the inside. I'm pretty sure it wasn't because I was hungry but their food was legit. My friends had some of the other dishes and all loved them (I can't remember what they got). Can I say their coffee is also really good? There wasn't a single hint of bitterness or burnt flavor to it. If only all diners could be that good... read more

This place, this place, this place... We just moved (back) to the Poconos, and we are in the process of searching out great spots to try...wow this did not disappoint! We had a short wait, which was fine as they give you a roomy and comfortable waiting area, as well as a beeper. When you go there bring your sense of humor, there are great things to read everywhere! The servers are awesome the menu is great and the food was excellent! Our server was Jack, and he was extremely good, and helpful! We will most definitely be back. I had the country eggs benedict, (two eggs steamed with chicken fried steak on an English muffin top with hollandaise sauce) and my hubby had the messy burrito, with steak, eggs, home fries, jack cheese and chipotle sauce and a soft tortilla top with salsa, we both LOVED every bite ! I can't wait to try more things! read more

Stopped the rig here on the way to Jersey City. Wonderful breakfast! First things first: There's plenty of parking in the mall lot and a mown field to walk the dog. Also, there is a Family Dollar and a supermarket. The grits here are outstanding - cooked firm (or tight) by request, with no graininess - just pillowy soft and absorbent to soak up the butter and yolks. Service was attentive and educational - basted eggs are called "steamed eggs" here - and they steam them perfectly - no snotty whites but the yolks nice and runny - no toughness! It's a pleasure to dine where the most important foods (to me) - grits and eggs - are cooked to perfection. The manager, Vickie was our server and she was fabulous - the entire staff are professional and courteous. The restaurant is clean and the employees are state certified. read more

Close diner/breakfast spot near our airbnb that offers an extensive menu with vegetarian, fit/healthy options, and cholesterol inducing-artery clotting options...they got it all! And all at a low price (or maybe I'm just used to pricing in NYC...). We came as a party of 9 and they were able to accommodate us, adding a small table to one of their booths. We all ordered one dish that were all less than $10, and we left feeling STUFFED. This was the perfect place for our big group because we all like eating different things and we didn't leave with a dent in our wallets. Definitely recommend! I got the Florentine Eggs Benedict ($8.60) the eggs were steamed, not poached, but they were still super soft and the yolk was perfectly runny. The "hollandaise sauce" was more like cheese lol no matter still yummy. The tomatoes under the eggs were fresh and the spinach was aplenty. And the house fries that came with it were crunchy and oh so good. Blueberry lemonade ($3): not to sweet and I actually tasted blueberries! A nice, refreshing drink! Belly Buster "messy mike" ($9.25): one of my friends got this and when our waitress placed the plate down we were all shook. Everything was literally oozing out of the roll because of how stuffed it is. If you have a never ending pit of a stomach, I would highly recommend this for you! read more

Stumbled across this clear local favorite when exploring the area last night for a good breakfast spot. Chat n Chew does not disappoint! Friendly staff, and the coffee is superb! Some of the best home fries I've ever had. Definitely make this a stop if you're ever in the area, you won't regret it! And remember: spooning leads to forking so please use condiments!! read more

I am giving this place 4 stars only because all girls that serve tables really hustle on a weekend when line is long. Due to COVID like many others Chat N Chew is short on staff. Food is really a 3 star rating We were really not all that happy with it, one of the omelets were extremely soggy and bagel was rubbery. read more

I came to the area for work. I'll be honest there isn't much going on around. You definitely need a car to get around town. Well Chat and Chew is a nice little gem in the area. Came in for breakfast and they were a little busy but was able to be seated in a timely manner. Lots of food choices for breakfast and lunch/dinner. There are specials too written up on the wall. Settled on a nice breakfast combo and got an extra side of grits. There was a lot of food. All good and cooked well. Had coffee and it was strong and tasty with plenty of refills. The side of grits I got was huge. Couldn't finish all my food but left very happy. If you're looking for healthy food this isn't really the place. All comfort food! If I had to be a little picky they could offer sides of fruit or real OJ not from concentrate. I would definitely go again. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. I'm glad to eat at and support a local business. Pro tip....the liquor store and grocery store and next door if you need to stock up on supplies after eating. read more

We just finished snow tubing at Big Boulder and needed a place to eat. I yelped and came across Chat n Chew. The reviews were overwhelmely favorable and Yelp gave me a 10% off my order coupon. Luckily we tried this place because the dishes were flavorful and customer service were outstanding. I had the patty melt while other people had Messy Mike. The beef was tasty and well seasoned. The portions are hearty and lots of locals eat there. Great gem!!! Only down side was we ordered a black n white shake and it was just so so. Too much ice in it. read more

Stopped in for breakfast around 10:00 on a Sunday. Located in blakeslee shopping plaza next to Ahearts market. Restaurant was busy and we Waited a few minutes to be seated. We were asked if counter seating was ok and said yes. Started w coffee which was very good. kava coffee freshly ground w each pot made. Menu has a wide variety w traditional items and some twists. Example pumpkin pancakes w a Carmel sauce for fall. Home fries were thin sliced potatoes and browned nicely. Service was nice. Staff wear teeshirts shirts w different witty sayings in the back and we saw a lot of teamwork. Restaurant expanded to add seating over the last year and is freshly painted. There are signs /pictures w cute sayings. Also there was some nice background music. Breakfast served all day plus lunch menu. If u r thinking about breakfast this is the place to go. Piggy's is also good but smaller restaurant and less breakfast choices. read more

Nice little restaurant, clean and intimate. The food was pretty good. Parking was easy. The bathrooms fit one person at a time, so there was a line there.

Chat n Chew Cafe - 2 eggs, scrambled with cheese, home fries (with ketchup), scrapple, and toast - American Near Me - Blakeslee, Pennsylvania

Had breakfast here while in town visiting. Solid breakfast place. Clearly they get crowded as the waiting area is quite large. Service was a tad slow, we waited a while for coffee and even longer for food. My pancakes were a little tough/dry, which was a let down. Rest of our food (eggs, toast, hash, etc) was perfectly fine but nothing exceptional. Would return as there seems to be limited breakfast options in this area. Great music and the funny signs are a plus. read more

We came to have breakfast the day after the lantern fest. We were seated right away at the dining area to the left. It's a very diner vibe with daily specials and bar stool seats by the cook line. Around the walls they had cute, quirky and funny signs around the place. There was lots to choose from on the menu from savory to sweet to satisfy everyone's palates. I decided to get a hot chocolate and the country breakfast. The country breakfast had eggs cooked to your liking, fried chicken over home fries and biscuits that was covered in country white gravy. The platter was delicious and I very much enjoyed the combination of the gravy and biscuits. The home fries were cooked perfectly by having a crispy crust and soft interior. The hot chocolate came a big cup topped with lots of sweet whipped creme. The service was get as the waiter was delightful checking in with us. We would definitely come back if we are ever in the area. read more

That Chat n Chew is a nice, modest diner located inside a shopping plaza. I came with my boyfriend and his grandmother, who likes this place a lot. I ordered the French toast with scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. It was pretty decent. Not the best I ever had, not the worst. Just average food. Our server was good, no complaints there. I liked the 80s music they played. read more

Don't let the location in an old strip mall or inside decor (or lack of it) or tattered diner chairs fool you, this place is legit! Friendly and quick service and the food is phenomenal. The perfect example of what diner food should be--authentic, nostalgic, and great flavor! I had the eggs Benedict with sausage and gravy and I couldn't get enough. It was fantastic. My hubs had the scrapple sandwich and loved it. My nephew had chicken fingers with fries and their sidewinder fries are so unique. We loved stopping here on our way to Kalahari water park and loved it so much we wanted to stop by on our way home--but alas, they were closed. Highly recommend the Yelp reviews are spot on! read more
