Besides Hannah Devine's on Main, Mimi's CoffeeHouse of Hardwick, and possibly Janine's Frosty down…read morethe street, you're going to want to make Crystal Springs a destination restaurant diner for your daytime brunch or breakfast needs, plus milkshakes and ice cream. Crystal Springs brings a consistency of food quality, time, and care that has kept the restaurant in good hands in the last decades. Walk in and walk beside the bar, noting the diner is cash only, and into the two booth sections near the back so that your waitstaff can have easy access to take your order. The diner, near the back, updates specials and has a few consistent winners that keep recurring. The wall opposite your entry has a wall with a blown up photographed depiction of the town of Ware from the air many decades ago. One of the pluses of this all-day breakfast diner is that they also are a dairy bar, serving ice cream and milkshakes specifically. Expect Crystal Springs to be busy with locals and other out of town travelers at the corner of the plaza strip they're located at. They're near a busy entrance and exit way, and there's parking near enough to that ingress to be mindful of. Thank you for many meals, Crystal Springs, and I hope I find great photos I took of your diner one day to fit a review for a staff as reliable at 5am as you'd want in a diner.

But Yasser has and we are so grateful that he did. His cultural take and techniques when applied to some of the American diner classics makes one sit up and take notice. I think we can all agree the fried fish sandwich and fish and Chips is a New England classic. Imo, Yasser's fishfry technique and eerily light coating is truly something special; you will be hard pressed to find a better fried product anywhere. I'm not gonna tell you much, other than give this place a try and discover for yourself what hidden treasures this little restaurant holds.

If there was a single example of what "fall from grace" means, it's this restaurant. My family and…read moreI used to love coming here. We looked forward to every summer when Janine's would be open and at least 2 meals a week would come from here. Since the new owners took over, genuinely every single aspect of the business has been downgraded. The food, quality, consistency, operations management, and even the employee experience are all drastically worse. I'll list some specifics to illustrate my point... When the new owners took over, they swapped the pickup and order food windows. If you've ever worked inside the building or seen the layout, you know that this makes no sense. It hinders operations and ruins the natural flow of work when fulfilling food orders. It still confuses customers this far into the season. And that's not the only thing that ruined the experience for employees. Previously, employees earned minimum wage plus tips, and now under the new management, the employees get the service worker wage where tips are used to fill in the gap between what they get paid by the owners and minimum wage. The net pay went way down because of this. The three times I've eaten there since the owners changed, it has been a massive disappointment. The food quality is worse. They changed suppliers for staple menu items like fries, tangy gold sauce, and some of their meats. It's noticeable that the new stuff is significantly lower quality than before. And all these negative changes have come without a price decrease, but in fact higher prices year over year. And here's a direct story from the experience that led to this review: we got dinner from there tonight (for the last time), and the service was embarrassingly bad. Our order included a ceasar salad, which was meant to come with no dressing due to an allergy to the ingredients. Despite explicitly communicating and confirming with the employee on the phone (they read the order back), the salad came with ceasar dressing. So we had to call back, and explicitly state that we want the salad "with only three ingredients: lettuce, chicken, and croutons." After going back on the 20 minute side quest to pick up that new salad, it had no croutons and came with cheese. Unbelievable. And finally, the ice cream I ordered with the meal was grainy and disgusting. I've never had a single grainy ice cream from Janine's until this year. I really blame everything on the new owners. They ruined everything about this place. If they know what's good for this business, they'll sell it to competent people who care about its success.

Best to go to Howard's or the Whistlestop, or Rondeau's. This is the third time consecutively over the summer that I've visited for dinner and/or ice cream, and waited about 15 minutes each time - only to then find that the order was completely underwhelming, or wrong, or one time they didn't even put it through so no one was working on it until I asked in frustration. I just can't give it another try... it used to be so good, but today's 15 minute wait for a Cinn-Apple Sensation Sundae - which came out with an overabundance of ice cream, a mere DOLLOP of apples, HALF a stale cinnamon bun, zero caramel sauce, and a stifling amount of whipped cream - was the last straw. Luckily I love Howard's and Rondeau's, and the Whistlestop is a great new option!
