We have often dined here but tonight's offerings were the worst. They had a couple of specials: pepper steak and tilapia. The tilapia was tasteless. The pepper steak was tasteless and very greasy. I hate to knock a restaurant during Covid but seriously our meal cost $30. It was awful. I wish they would improve their cooking. (The next day our stomachs were still upset.) read more

In our way back home to PA from the beach we decided to make a stop for breakfast. We arrived around 10am and there was a wait already but we were only promised a 10 min wait which ended up being 20 min. When we sat down it took another 5 min to get a waitress and another 20 min to get our food. We dined with 3 toddlers and they provided us with colors and coloring sheets but the wait for breakfast I was long. The food was really good and tasty. The other details we had to overlook like dirty carpet, simple decorations and one waitress for each large room. We had to ask for coffee refills. Our three toddlers split the Constitution, which was a huge portion. 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 pancakes and home fries. We added 2 more eggs and they consumed it all. I liked my eggs Benedict and my husband his 3 egg omelette. Would stop again on another opportunity if in the area. read more

Not the greatest breakfast place, but not bad either! The place looks cute and cozy and there's 2 parking lots one in front of the restaurant and one behind the restaurant so at least parking is covered here! I got a kids baby pancakes, and french toast with bacon. The bacon comes in a pair of 2 and the baby pancakes came with 6! My son loved it. I don't recommend the hot chocolate, I asked for whipped cream and didn't get it. Also I asked what kind of muffins they have and I'm guessing the waitress forgot? I still want to give this place another try! read more

It's just average at best. Food was edible, but not noteworthy or memorable. Dining room is over-crowded with tables. Country potatoes are very, very bland. read more

Solidly disappointing meal. Sorry but when half the food comes out Cold and you're waiting for things and the rest of what you have on the table is getting cold. I know the restaurant business is tough, however it was not busy when I came there. read more

Went for breakfast. They give you large portions. Food was great and even though place was packed, great customer service.

Excellent local eatery. Down home cooking with huge portions. Eggs were fluffy and potatoes done right. I'll definitely return! read more

I'm so glad I looked at the Countrie Eatery menu on Yelp. Tried their Baked Crab Imperial dinner with a perfect baked potato and fresh salad the other night, it was delicious! Can't wait to try some of their other Countrie Style dinners. read more

We were in town for Firefly Music Festival and the employees were so friendly! I've had prior experience w/ restaurants being rude to us because of our reason being there but not here. Food was made well and so filling! Servers were helpful and kind! Their biscuits are delicious! As well as the crab balls! read more

I have looked at the reviews before going to the Eatery. My experience was somewhere in the middle. Not over the top great nor crushingly terrible. The food was ok, service was slow but the place was busy with the races down the street. The eggs were perfect as well as the corned beef hash. The coffee was dirty water, all 4 cups lacked flavor. Adding one creamer gave you warm milk. Possibly affecting my outlook here was the loud obnoxious women at the next table, who went on and on. Maybe the waitress was trying to avoid her as much as I wish I could have. I would try this again maybe for lunch and sample a special. read more

A friend and I had breakfast here and it was REALLY good! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the view of the lake! We both had the 222 (2-pancakes, 2-eggs and 2-meats (sausage or bacon). The serving size was perfect...not too much food and not too little. I highly recommend! read more

Great for breakfast! The food is good and the staff is very friendly. Try the pancakes, you'll thank me! Arrive early enough, and see the ducks being fed in the parking lot! read more

Great food and good prices, they are short staffed but worth the wait. The vibes are also very country which I love.

Have been here twice ! The place is busy but the servers were atrentive. This time we were seated at a table for 4. We ordered and for our good quickly I got the "little creek" which was eggs Benedict over crab cakes. Didn't care for the potatoes but the meal was pretty good :) maybe next time I'll try a lunch/dinner menu read more

I ordered 2 Eggs over medium, home fries, bacon and an English Muffin. The eggs were way to gooey, no crispy edges and even the white part was still gooey. Not the way I prefer my eggs. Maybe I just have a different understanding on what "over medium" means lol. The home fries were soggy even though we ordered them extra crispy, it was almost like they already made them early and then just reheated them in the microwave. Same with the bacon. I was prepared to wait 20-25 min to get my food and to know that it was fresh but instead we didn't even have to wait 5 mins for it to come out, no wonder. The only thing that was really good was the Farmhouse Omelet. Orange juice and English muffin were also decent. Very nice location, view over the lake was beautiful and there were tons of ducks in the parking lot which was pretty cool. Overall, not the best breakfast place but maybe I just ordered the wrong food for my taste. read more

We're only here for the race weekend. It was ok. The service was good, but the food was off. We ordered a short stack of pancakes and the Kenton (biscuits and gravy). The pancakes were still batter in the middle, and parts of my biscuits were cold. If you don't want lemon w/ your water please let them know. read more

Went here for the Delaware peach crisp. This place is located near the water. Nice view, small parking lot and getting out seemed an issue. A bus had pulled in blocking the entrance, car behind waiting to enter the lot. I felt my family and I came too early. The host was also the owner? It was 10 to 15 minutes before seeing a server and getting our drinks. They had free dinner rolls which was nice. I had their lasagna which could have used more sauce, a bit dry in the middle. The wife had eggs Benedict with crab cakes on top, can't remember the name. My son had a turkey club sandwich with bacon. We ordered the peach crisp to go. I was the only one to finish. Service was great, the server very accommodating. The peach crisp was a disappointment. Tasted like canned apple pie filling with some peaches, cinnamon and some crumbs on top. read more

45 minutes to recieve or food after ordering (!) and our waitress never even acknowledged the wait. TINY portions for the price. We had brought a guest and were left embarassed and apologizing. read more

Nope! This place is not hipster but it sure is good! Been going there for years and never had a bad meal. Service is good and prices are very reasonable. It's our go to place for breakfast if you want more than bacon and eggs ( they have that also). read more

It's really annoying when they lie to you -- on the menu and verbally, by omission -- about what you're being served. I ordered pancakes. One of the syrup options on the menu is "maple." So I asked for "maple syrup." It came in a generic, unlabeled syrup dispenser. Tasting it, it was obviously not maple syrup. Later I asked the waitress what kind of syrup it is. She said, I think it's Log Cabin. On the way out, I asked the woman at the cash register why they didn't have real maple syrup. She said that it's too expensive. I know it is, so why not offer it but charge extra for it? That would be much better than misrepresenting what you're serving to customers. read more

The service was fast, the waitress was very smiley and helpful! Great view of water and a very pleasant atmosphere! The food was very good. A tad pricey ($30 for two people at breakfast) but we would definitely be back again for special times. Still looking in Dover for our weekend breakfast spot though! read more

Ok for breakfast, lunch and dinner is an older crowds food, liverwurst, liver, things like that. Not for me.

Let's face it, we have limited options in Dover when it comes to a good breakfast. Thankfully Countrie Eatery hits it out of the park. For about $8 I can get bottomless coffee and a meal of one piece of bacon, one sausage, one huge piece of scrapple, one pancake and home fries. Add in some toast and I'm so full I skip lunch. The is a favorite for locals so it is packed for breakfast, especially on Saturdays. I suggest a brunch instead to avoid the crowds. read more

I hate giving out one star reviews but this place truly deserves one. I'll start off by saying that the food is about the same quality as a waffle house but more expensive. However that is not why this place gets one star from me. I am giving this place one star because they are simply stuck in some old times, the staff is an older crowd and seemed kind of stubborn. We went in for some breakfast and we expressed to the waitress about some serious food allergies and she really did not try to make any suggestions or try to find out what allergens their bread contained she just said how she had other tables to attend and did not have time. In this day in age it is just unacceptable for any establishment that serves food to ignore food allergies there are just no excuses. I rather spend less money and eat better at a Cracker barrel. read more

Just average...had the Little Creek with "home fries" that were literally mushy, broiled red skin potatoes. It's right on the lake which is nice but a bit dirty. My hot tea tasted like dirty water. The bathroom made me lose my appetite because it smelled like urine and looked dirty. They would do well with a few upgrades. read more

Went there based on other reviews, but it was very disappointing. The other enthusiastic reviews are a bit overboard, they obviously dont get out much. Flies should not be flying around the tables, half dozen. You know their in the kitchen too! Ordered homefries w/veggies added, they didnt come well done as requested. Very small amount. 'Homemade muffin', blueberry, sad, very very sad...small, dry, no taste.... Positive, only $1. Service was fine.... Coffee was decent and bottomless.... $1.95 Sad but true, we won't return. read more

Flies flies everywhere. While we were there my husband killed 22 at our table. Food was ok. Nothing over the top. But it was extremely expensive. Waitress was pleasant and attentive. Drink cups were very small. Dinner was nothing I would ever go back for. Maybe their breakfast would be better. read more

This is the best place for breakfast! Lunch and dinner is eh but that's why they have won awards for breakfast lol. If you're looking for a home cooked breakfast but don't feel like making it yourself, this is where to go. Everything is super yummy and not unreasonably priced. They don't have much help so please be patient with them. read more

Nice location. Right on the water which is nice if you get a table with a view (we did). I gave them a 4 but my wife gave them a 3 just because she said the potatoes tasted off. If you get the Home Fries make sure to get it with onions. I tried the potatoes and they tasted fine to me. The Sweet Potatoe Pancakes are a MUST don't miss out on those. Coffee wasn't ridiculously strong which is a plus. I would've rated them a 3.We will definitely be coming back. read more

I just read the other reviews before I write mine. Discounting the youngster who does not like hanging around old people, the reviews were decent, but with fairly low ratings. My wife and I ate lunch there today. We found the place by accident, having just come out of the Big Lots parking lot almost directly across the street. We lost our favorite restaurant in Dover when a Viet Namese place changed owners. SO, we were looking for another restaurant that was not a chain. As we walked through the door, we saw the daily specials. My wife happily noticed that one lunch special was broiled fresh sea trout. I LOVE sea trout and very rarely see it in a restaurant (or grocery, for that matter). It WAS FRESH, and it was cooked PERFECTLY! My fish came with two sides AND dessert ... Creme Brule. The dessert was also PERFECT - my only complaint ... The creme brule was HUMUNGOUS. Big enough for three people. My wife had a meatball and cheese sub. She is fussy about both meatballs and tomato sauce. She liked BOTH and thought the the sub could not have been better. She had rice pudding for dessert. The waitress kindly sprinkled raisins on top. We like raisins in our rice pudding. Two entrees, three sides, two beverages, two desserts all for LESS THAN $20.00!!!! That brings me to the service. Our waitress, "Stephanie," was WONDERFUL. She was attentive without being annoying. She took care of ALL our needs cheerfully and promptly. BTW, as mentioned in another review, the restaurant has a beautiful view of Silver Lake. Countrie Eatery sits on the edge of the lake. In Dover? Want a fresh cooked meal that is also a bargain? Try the Countrie Eatery and ignore the old folks. Remember, you are not getting any younger!! read more

The food was decent but I left my small purse in there . I called right away within the hour to make sure that it was indeed left there on the seat . They confirmed it was . I was missing cash and my casino ticket . I went back in and they weren't real clear on how it got to waitress . The only people in there that would have " went after us to find us to give it back " were 2 elderly people. So it went to someone in the staff that is not quite honest . I'm the first one to give money to someone or help if needed. I'm disgusted and disappointed. We come here to visit and this is what I get . Now it's not the end of the world for me but it was still a good $600 or more . If you needed it that bad ask I'd give you money but don't take . We work hard and are good people. I just really trust no one . So if you go to this restaurant watch out because someone on the staff is not so trusting . Keep your wallets and purses close . read more

Great spot in Dover, Del Be sure to ask for Nicole to wait on you. Great style and knows the menu. I had the famous 2x2x2. And my friend another of there many specials. Going back in two weeks and asking for Nicole and bring friends from Pa. Michigan and Portland, or Don't forget to save you bread scrapes to feed to the ducks,geese, turtles and carp in the lake right by this great place. Thank you Nicole for making my first visit special with a great smile and service read more

If you love breakfast, you'll love this place. It has a homey feel to it right in front of the lake. The service was fast and the food is delicious! I had eggs Benedict and home fries:) super good! I was worried since a lot of reviews were saying there were lots of older people, it being in DE, I've ran into some unspoken racism and I thought that it would be kind of racist, but it's not at all. The staff is friendly and very prompt. I would recommend eating here for sure:) read more

I saw a lot of great reviews for the restaurant so hubby & I decided to go check out the restaurant. Went on a Saturday morning for breakfast. I was not overwhelmed by the food or the service. My food had to go back to the kitchen because the kitchen did not make the eggs over medium. This is not a special request. My toast was burnt as well. The service was lack luster. Once the food did come back correctly, I no longer wanted to eat, therefore I can not say the food was good or bad. Maybe we went on a bad day.....I don't know. We will not return. read more

IHOP... Bob Evans... those are places where you "eat". This is a place you enjoy. The people, the food, the atmosphere make this a destination. We had a truly relaxing meal that made a great start to the day. I had the Brits breakfast... two eggs, 2 perfectly cooked eggs, grilled tomatoes and toast. And frequently refreshed coffee served by a polite and friendly waitress. Menu selection is just right - variety of staples with local additions. And this place is super clean and well maintained. Give this place a try... And for those who comment about "old people" - bring more young people with you. read more

First time ordering for take out. Got two Countries eatery fried seafood platters. The portions are big. There was a surcharge if $5 for each platter but no issue. My only suggestion would be to not fry the seafood so hard. I would pick the countries eatery over pleasantons for taste and value. The platter comes with two sides and bread and butter. Will visit again in the future. read more
