The best place for breakfast/brunch any day of the week. Cheap combo meals for $8-11 with more food than you can eat. Eggs all fresh and done to order. Bacon, sausage and even scrapple come out crispy but not burnt. Waffles, pancakes, and french toast are all delicious (and they don't RUIN the french toast with cinnamon either - bonus). Cannot believe we even considered eating at IHOP before leaving the ridiculous line to come here. Although there still IS a line and the parking lot always looks jam packed, they cycle people in and out really quickly and even on Saturdays and Sundays at peak hours I've never waited more than 10 minutes for a table. Not bad to wait out side and look at the lake and ducks roosting nearby either. Very cute location and on the money for laid back comfort food. read more

Good food at a fair price, easy atmosphere. Would recommend definitely to anyone traveling to Dover.

Great views of the lake and love the homey overall feel here. Servers are helpful and on point. Food here has always been delicious but I've only had breakfast here. The cashier can be a little smug sometimes and acts like she doesn't care about anything else besides taking your money. Would it hurt if you smiled? Ever? read more

The location is nice, right on the water, but the food is just mediocre. Good service, friendly waitress, but mediocre food.

The wife loved it. I didn't think it was all that great. Its very popular though, we had to wait for about 15 minutes. I had eggs benedict which was super meh. Coffee was free flowing. Lots of elderly people which is not a negative at all but usually speak to the blandness of the food in my experience. It was a correct supposition again. I'll go back if the wife makes me otherwise I would probably avoid it honestly just based on the food. read more

If you have no time barrier this is a good place to eat. We went in a Saturday and waited 10 minutes until the waitress acknowledged us and got our drinks. It was at least 30 minutes before our food arrived. The food was good and the daily specials include desserts. May try again on a weekday. read more

Nice view If you get a window table overlooking Silver Lake. I love that all the specials on the menu are named after small towns in Delaware (nice touch for a local business) Now for my opinion of the food since this is a "countrie eatery". I have ate here about a dozen times and ALWAYS get "Little Creek". Two poached eggs and crabcakes on English muffin covered in a Hollandaise sauce...with a side of bacon. I have always had good experience and plan to return many more times in the future. (the only reason it got 3 and not 4 stars is I'm not that crazy about the home fries...but that's just my opinion) read more

The food here is good. The service seems better for the regulars they know by name than the rest of the customers but is in the acceptable range. The prices are very high for the portions and type of food. Breakfast for 3 should not cost over fifty dollars. The brow of the lake is nice but not worth the price. read more

It's hard to mess up breakfast but as much as I travel for business, my taste buds and lingual receptors are keen to ehhh food. Not impressed with the breakfast and my significant other, who eats ANYTHING was so dissatisfied, he couldn't finish his meal. The waitress took forever with the food and it wasn't worth the price. We enjoyed the water and the ducks but its just not what we expected to have so many "good" reviews. Not impressed. read more

I Got breakfast here and the waitress forgot to write down that I wanted blueberries in my pancakes. When the food got to the table, she seemed as if she expected me to eat them even though it wasn't what I ordered. I told her I wanted blueberry pancakes and it took 25 minutes until I got them. Everyone in my party was long finished with their meals so I told them to just put them in a container to go. The waitress gave me my receipt and told me to tell the hostess to comp the pancakes when I got to the counter but the hostess refused to comp them saying I was being rude. After 10 minutes of arguing, they finally comped my pancakes. What a joke? You call that good customer service? I'd take your money elsewhere when finding a yummy spot to stop and eat. read more

I frequently have breakfast in this place. I would like to rate "BREAKFAST VALUE FOR MONEY" as excellent Breakfast has "home made taste", and their coffee is great. Service is friendly and prompt. If I have to give it a negative, is the long line-wait, particularly on Sundays after church services. But again, that is a good sign that the locals like their country cooking". I cannot speak for lunch or dinner because I usually go there just for breakfast. The Silver Lake view is calming, and makes this place "perfect for a great home-cooked breakfast". read more

I'm honestly not quite sure why this place has so many high ratings. Immediately upon entering the restaurant, my friends and I smelled something weird, but couldn't quite figure out what it was. After we ordered, I began scanning the room's decor and realized what I was smelling. They had figurines, pictures, and all sorts of other things relating to cats within the restaurant. The smell I was smelling was cat urine/a litter box. Absolutely disgusting smell to endure while trying to eat breakfast. I even wonder if that is some sort of health code violation. As for the food, it was mediocre at best. I had the Monte Cristo sandwich, my friends both had a regular breakfast of eggs/pancakes, etc. Very hard to mess up, but it was just "meh". read more

Awesome food! Awesome view! You should definitely try it out ! For breakfast ... the little creek is amazing it's like a crab cake Benedict ... lunch & dinner specials from the special board come with free dessert read more

Breakfast is always delicious and the host are always friendly. There's a nice waterfront view

While the food was pretty good, we won't be back. The atmosphere was unwelcoming. The manager/owner glared at us when we came in, then in a very less than pleasant tone said "can I help you?". I mean it's obvious we are there to eat. Looks around and then takes us to a table, takes the coffee cup that is on the table in front of my 5 year old and says "let me take that so you don't break it". Her demeanor was not friendly. When I went to pay at the register, she put a phone call on hold and was shaking her head mumbling something under her breath about the customer on the phone. As I'm walking out, I can hear her answering the call and she sounded just as unpleasant as she is in person. Don't recommend this place at all! read more

Cute country diner with a lot of charm--and its right on the water! I absolutely love the breakfast options that give you a little bit of everything. The staff was attentive and got our order completely right even with the pressure of the Firefly rush. read more

This place needs a major over haul. Our had old decor and just doesn't seem clean, old dishes, old glasses, old customers. I've been twice. Once I went with my family and my husband said he felt uncomfortable so we left before being served. The next time I went with a group of ladies and had omelet. Nothing great about it. Will never go back. read more

We enjoyed a very nice breakfast by the lake. The banana pancakes were excellent as was the countrie omelet.

This quiet little book is awesome! The Monte Cristo was par but the experience is in the ambiance. It's southern diner meets kitchen table. I especially love that the music they play doesn't have lyrics. For some reason, it adds to the intimacy of the place-- it sounds more like a soundtrack than loud background noise. read more

This neighborhood diner leaves me nothing to brag about, it's just quite average. The view of Silver Lake, even though its man made is a nice backdrop. They do give hearty portions and can easily serve as dinner that evening. read more

My fiance and I came in midday on a Sunday. It wasn't exceptionally busy, as there were some tables that were open, and we were seated right away. It took almost a half hour for our server to come by to bring us water, after many other servers came by assuring us that she would be over in just a minute. Our food took just as long to come out; I ordered a turkey club and my fiance ordered eggs and both of our meals were forgettable, and in my opinion, overpriced for what we got. I would not return or recommend this place. read more

Not very good, bland, oily potatoes, eggs bland seemed as if they watered down to make omelet bigger, and charge extra for cheese, hunts ketchup in packets at table, ugh read more

Went on a Wednesday in late July at 1pm. Pretty crowded. Situated on a lake. Country vibe, as the name implies. Had breakfast. It was OK. Poached eggs on crab cakes on English muffins. Would I go out of my way to go back? No. But try it if you're in the area. read more

It wasn't the worst chip beef and gravy I've had but it definitely was not the best. We were extremely disappointed.

Made a reservation for 8 people so we could have a breakfast meeting. Table was waiting for us, quiet corner of restaurant, plenty of space, and service was outstanding. We all ordered something different but the sweet potato pancakes were especially good! Highly recommend. We'll be back. We've tried the chains and hotels in Dover. This place is a keeper! read more

Breakfasts were very good and not greasy. Roast beef was dry, but I like it like that. Husband does not. Server was very nice and brought out the kids meals first and fast! Real ice tea too. Always a plus. read more

Upon entering I was a bit skeptical but I'm glad I stayed. This was the best scrapple I have ever eaten. It could have been cooked a bit more crisp but the flavor was excellent. Great coffee and the service was good. I would come back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Cruisin' on a Saturday morning for a hearty breakfast. Found it! This place is right on a lake with a lovely view. Breakfast was great. Eggs fried over easy, 2 delicious peppery sausage links and home fries. With choice of toast or fresh baked muffin. Want to try muffin next time. I'm a fan! read more

Just great place. Great value and very friendly help. Food was very good both a breakfast I had and wife had a sandwich. Thanks for taking care of us Candace. read more

Food fit for seniors. Wait to be seated? Friday at 5pm and empty. The hostess will be walking away from your table before you sit down. Judy (server) came out with her hands on the rim of our glasses which freaked me out. The fried chicken lacked flavor, and the sides are bland also. The chicken fried chicken had a weird brown-ish gravy on it The pancakes are missing something but are good with chocolate chips. The stuffed flounder is good but need salt. This place is good for seniors with high blood pressure or other health issues because of the lack of flavor. Good place to take your grandparents. read more

Decent food a bit pricey with beautiful scenery. The waitresses have a tendency to forget about you when they put you in the corner. I recommend the Little Creek good stuff. I was real close to 4 stars on this maybe I will update on next visit. read more

I ordered fried oysters and they came heavily breaded, to the point that you couldn't really taste the oyster. Kind of defeats the purpose of ordering them. My boyfriend ordered a traditional breakfast of sausage, eggs, pancakes, and home fried potatoes. His plate looked tasty and satisfying. The service was fast and friendly, the decor is homey, and the view of the lake is magnificent. I would return, but only to order breakfast. read more

Driving by Dover looking for somewhere for breakfast. It was horrible there were about 3 flies in the dining room which tells you about their cleanliness. Pancakes and homefries had a sour taste. My daughter took about 2-3 bites of her pancake, tried to get the waitress Sasha but she didn't come by. If you collect the plates from entire table & the pancakes were hardly touched shouldn't you ask if everything was okay? Would not recommend at all, gross read more

We have been here for breakfast twice in the past month. It has been outstanding food and service both times. Our server was kind, hardworking, and fantastic. Our food was great, fresh, and we got a lot of it for a cheap price. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious local restaurant on the water. Dover Delaware is a bust but this quaint eatery provides tasty food with kind service. Would return

Large portions, great service. Pull pork and BBQ Ribs were great. Corn bread is moist and buttery. One of the best BBQ places around. Fast service but it was went it had just opened for lunch. Will definitely return. read more

Great views, service, hometown feel. Waitress made great menu suggestions, & was attentive. Would definitely stop in again.

I like this place because it's simple and like a diner. It can be awkward because it always seems quiet and there are always a lot of older people there, but overall I really like it. It's cheap, too. The best part is that you can feed the ducks and geese bread outside after you are finished eating. I have seen gophers, turtles and fish, too. It's really cute. But be careful because the geese can be really defensive. Like one charged me and hissed at me once. It was cute though. Just remember to be respectful because it's their home. read more
