I recommend this place because there's not many that are left like this and you have to have the experience of of what a diner life should be like. I would absolutely recommend you sit down and let somebody cook for you. read more

Great place to relax and get a home cooked meal for less than local groceries. Bon Appetit!

The wait time was horrible. It took at least 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We were the only table waiting. The food was DRY and way overcooked. We had the Country Benedict. Our server was nice but seemed to be overwhelmed. read more

Bit expensive for my taste but good food and minimal issues with ordering and dining.

The food was bland and the steak was dry and overcooked (it was the rib eye with eggs). The service was slow and glum. There were only two other tables eating and I still had to ask for more coffee. After hearing that it was reopening, I thought it would improve. It didn't. Would I eat here again? No read more

They finally got a chef that can cook eggs! I went at the beginning of January and had the worst breakfast. I went the other day and my eggs over easy were perfect and hash browns were actually cooked this time. They still need to invest in some quality bread. The wheat was stale and tasted like cardboard. They should hook up with a local bakery. Great bread is essential. read more

First time here. 4 of us had breakfast and cleaned our plates. Yes the omelettes are stuffed with whatever you want or some standard types on the menu. Kelsi was our server and handled our individual selections perfectly. One member of our party ordered an egg sandwich on bagel and said it was too hot to eat and had to cool down. read more

We love this spot for breakfast or a quick lunch. The food isn't extraordinary, but prices are affordable and service is always kind & fast. We haven't had any bad meals. The dining area is open & simple. read more

This place blew me away with simple delicious food. In a town that seems to have lacked passion for cooking in the last decade, the Green Mountain Cafe cooks really get it right for a delicious American breakfast. Eggs always perfectly cooked as ordered. Fried chicken crispy, moist, and just that country style way. Country Gravy is spot on as a Bob Evans style of white gravy with chipped sausage. Toast/English muffins are high quality and toasted/buttered to perfection. The home fries and hash browns are always made from fresh potatoes, which you can't find at Maple City Or Saint Albans Diner's. They are also perfectly crisped and seasoned giving a buttery perfection in taste. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and for generations I've been consistently let down with lack of passion and skill. Thank you Green Mountain Diner for making my Sunday mornings amazing. read more

We had a great breakfast. Look at the perfect layers of my eggs Benedict. We recommend that and the stuffed French Toast. Waitress was friendly and service was pretty fast even though they were really busy. Atmosphere is low key, more casual, but not too load which was great. read more

Green Mountain Cafe - American Near Me - St. Albans, Vermont

Sorry, wanted to support them, but food was so bland and the menu too large for any kitchen to manage well. Dinner service was incredibly slow. Might try breakfast sometime, but I'm in no hurry. read more

Stopped by here for lunch while driving from Canada -- what a cute place! It's a bit hidden from the road beside a motel but has a parking lot out front and is pretty close to the interstate. The waitstaff was friendly and the service quick and helpful, and the prices low -- will be happy to stop by again if I come this way! read more

We went Sunday for brunch. It was great food, reasonably priced, and a welcoming feel. I had stuffed French toast, in the picture, my SIL had the Covered Bridge, and hubs had the Vermonster. All were very good. There's not a lot of seating so come early or be prepared to wait. Our meals were served with "real Vermont maple syrup," and it was delicious. read more

Food quality is not worth the price. Staff can be rude. People making food not wearing gloves

We had a fantastic early breakfast here this morning! My husband had the Green Mountaineer (2 flap jacks, 2 eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns). The portion was VERY generous - flap jacks were delicious, and everything else was good (but needed seasoning). I had the 2-egg breakfast with bacon, toast, and home fries. Everything was cooked very well, but needed seasoning. Coffee was good, and the service was excellent. To top it off, the bill for both of us was only $16! This is, by far, the BEST breakfast we have had around here. read more

Very good place try the homemade beans !!! They are awesome : sweet and salty with bacon :) + the homemade sauce in the Michigan was very good and with your chips or fries ask for the boom boom sauce read more

This place is amazing. We come here about once a month for breakfast. The prices are good, the food delicious and the bacon is always cooked perfectly. The staff is friendly and does regular check ins to see if you need anything! I love that it's off the beaten path but still gets a fare amount of people stopping in. read more

Very kind waitress! Clean, "diner vibe." Wish there were a few more vegetables on the menu. I like them fresh or steamed.

I shied from Green Mountain Cafe solely because I loved The Rock and since then, every establishment that came in after didn't have what it takes to last. After seeing the parking lot filled on multiple occasions, I decided to give it a shot. For diner food, this is pretty impressive. First, the service is amazing. We showed up at 7 a.m., right when they opened and already three tables were seated, six more parties came in while we were there. The waitress was friendly, courteous, and extremely skilled at her job. Our coffee mugs were refilled before we really even needed refills. She had our order down without issue. And, she left us alone to eat. If there is one thing I hate, it is the waiter/waitress who keeps coming over every three minutes to check on you and always catch you with a mouth filled with food. The food is cheap. It's not gourmet, this is diner food, hearty, filling, and good for the soul. There is a Monday to Friday breakfast special that includes two eggs cooked your way, bacon or sausage, toast, and home fries or hash browns for $3.99. You can't beat that, even at junkier fast food joints. The menu is basic with things like pancakes, omelets, oatmeal, a la carte items, and then the specialty items. I have a childhood thing for corned beef hash, so I ordered the Vermonter ($7.99) that came with three eggs, toast, hash browns or home fries, and a huge portion of corned beef hash. It was way too much food for me, but definitely reminded me of breakfasts at home. My husband opted for their take on Eggs Benedict ($7.99) that was the English muffin, two poached eggs, thick slices of ham, and a cheddar cheese sauce in place of the hollandaise. That also came with home fries or hash browns. I only drink decaf coffee and a bitter aftertaste is often an issue. Some decaf coffees are great, others are simply too bitter for my taste. I like a smooth cup of coffee. I don't know what they serve, but the coffee was exceptional for decaf, far superior to anything Starbucks or Vermont Coffee Company has ever served me. I was able to watch the chef at work from my table. For someone working completely alone, I was amazed by how fast he kept up with orders. He didn't mess anything up. My over easy eggs were cooked to perfection and considering the fact that he had three other tables lined up, he didn't break a sweat keeping up. I'll certainly be back when I'm in the mood for diner food. read more

I went with a friend around noon and ordered the turkey gobbler off the lunch menu, with fries. I thought there was too much bread on my sandwich for the amount of meat. The fries were soft and not very salty. My friend ordered an omelette and said it was good. The meal was cheap. Just nothing exceptional. read more

Great new little cafe/diner in an unexpected location. The staff is great, so friendly and the food ( breakfast/lunch) is solid overall. The seafood selections are a must. Plan on going back for dinner. read more

I've only been here a couple of times, and not very impressive to me. There were no vegetarian options on the menu to speak of (except maybe salads?) so disappointed there. However, being pescatarian I can still eat seafood. The fried shrimp roll was alright, not too pricy but the food could be better. The second time I went I got another shrimp roll only grilled shrimp this time and the shrimp was so rubbery and had absolutely no seasoning on it whatsoever (not even salt). It was actually the worst meal I've ever ordered at a restaurant. The service is usually pretty good; the atmosphere always feels like I'm there for the senior early bird special. It's right next to a hotel, so it is a little hard to find. So many people had good things to say about this place, I was hoping it would be better than this. read more

Located in front of the Cadillac Motel, this relatively plain little eating spot offers a reasonable variety of basic diner options, all reasonably priced. Service is prompt and friendly. Nothing terribly great but certainly nothing terribly bad either. read more

Stopped here on the way home after crossing back in from Canada. Used Yelp to find somewhere quick to eat and the reviews were spot-on. From the looks of the place outside I never would have stopped but I am glad we did! Started with nacho plate (excellent). My daughter ordered the waitresses recommendation of pulled pork (very good), my son got his standard chicken fingers with fries (not the frozen fare of most restaurants), I had a perfect Cobb salad, my fiancé had a great Shrimp Caesar, and my third child had a wing basket with fries (apparently hand cut). We will be back! Service was excellent. read more

My girlfriend and I stopped here on our way back from a wedding weekend in Montreal. It was a welcome stop with in a really nice area with great staff. I had a great blackened bleu burger with fries and beans. The service was fast and friendly, and I'm planning on stopping back there again when we return to Canada! read more

Great diner food and had daily specials. pleasant good service. Very reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere. Would be a good place with kids/teens. Ramp in back for accessibility. read more

Excellent little restaurant! My girlfriend and I go here a lot! One of my favorite places to go in St.Albans. GREAT burgers, GREAT pancakes, AMAZING turkey rice soup! The only thing I would ask is to put the turkey rice soup on the menu instead of being a soup of the day, that way I could get it more often ;) highly recommend read more

Wow not a great location or dining room, but the food is great! The value and selection are good. This has become of of our favorite places to go in stalbans now. The service is usually good and the breakfast is also tasty.. read more

The good: Green Mountain Cafe is clean, affordable the staff is friendly and it's locally owned. The not-so good: BORING, this goes for every diner in Saint Albans. The food is the exact same as every other diner. If I pick up one more diner menu that reads: choice of egg, meat, toast, or choice of omelet or worse yet choice of skillet I'm going to barf. It doesn't matter which diner you choose, it is groundhogs day, the menu doesn't change. How hard is it to really screw up diner food? Point being, if I can make the same exact thing at home except cheaper and with less grease why would I eat at a diner? Fact is, I don't anymore, it's a waste of money. You see, I'm not from Vermont. Saint Albans is one of those weird places in the country in that everyone you meet in town is actually from somewhere else. I don't know if I've met a native Vermonter yet and I have lived here 6 years now. Anyways, I've eaten at every diner in town hoping one of them would be different from the others. The city I'm from, most diner-style restaurants like to mix it up. They like to make inventive delicious breakfasty concoctions to separate themselves from the competition. They have breakfast specials such as: Stuffed French Toast with Mascarpone, Vanilla Bean Waffles, Orange Rum Raisin Pancakes or even Smoke Salmon Scramble. Oddly enough the price I pay for these items isn't much different from Vermont diner fair. Menu items like these would get my business weekly. Instead we in Saint Albans and surrounding areas suffer with disgusting skillets as our exotic options. The biggest mystery of all is how all these places manage to keep there doors open offering the same menu (kidding, see prices) . In the meantime, I will just have to wait until I travel far from here to get a breakfast I'm happy to pay for. read more

Friendly service, great food...just make sure you're not in a hurry...sometimes they get a little overwhelmed...but def worth the wait! :)

Just had breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. First time eating here but certainly won't be the last. Best and friendliest service I've seen in a very long time. They were very busy but our waitress checked on us several times. Others also asked if we wanted more coffee, etc. as they walked past our table. Although very busy, everything seemed to run so smoothly. They should moonlight teaching other restaurants' waitstaff how they do it. As for the food, very good also. I ordered a menu item requesting that they omit a couple of ingredients and it was done perfectly. Can't wait to try it for dinner! We don't live in St. A so we don't get to town often for dinner. read more

We were there last Saturday for dinner. The waitress was great, efficient and friendly. The food was not great. It was supposed to be prime rib but it was closer to shoe leather. It was so difficult to chew and the fries were barely warm. Don't ever order any kind of pasta; the sauce is awful. It will be the last time we go there...for sure. read more

Great food, atmosphere and prices. I go often on the weekends for breakfast and have never been dissatisfied with the food or service. Highly recommend. read more

Clean, nice atmosphere, great food and generous servings, personnel are great and friendly, prices are reasonable, occasionally service from the kitchen is a little slow. Can't find a better place to dine in St. Albans. read more

Fast service, good food, and good prices! What more can you ask for? Came for breakfast and both my husband and I ordered omelets.

We decided to try green mountain cafe because of yelp reviews, however, we almost kept driving because of the initial appearance of the establishment. It is a hole in the wall within an older motel plaza. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in though! Staff was friendly, environment was clean, and the food was standard diner fare - we enjoyed a tasty breakfast. A must try if you're in the area and looking for value in tasty comfort food. read more

A pretty awesome place to go to with a friend. The prices are reasonable and the food taste like they're made with fresh ingredients.
