The Sunrise Shack is hands down our favorite breakfast spot in the North Country. We've been to a…read morefew other good places in the Valley area, but this is the one we always find ourselves coming back to. The place is very small and because of that you have to check in at a small window before going inside. It can get very busy and always go mid week for that reason. What the Sunrise Shack lacks in size it more than makes up for with its personality and, of course, its yummy food. It's small yet cozy and homey. The staff is always welcoming and cheerful. And perhaps most importantly, the breakfast always hits the spot. During our most recent visit my boyfriend got blueberry pancakes and I got biscuits and gravy, which I had once before and had a hankering for it again. It was just as hearty and delicious as I remembered it from the last time. The blueberry pancakes were very yummy too. As a side note, if you ask for hot sauce with your meal they have a variety bucket for the table, which is a nice little bonus for hot sauce fiends such as myself. Whether you want your breakfast to be healthy or hearty, or whether you're filling up before going on a rigorous hike or going shopping in the North Conway town center, you simply can't go wrong with The Sunrise Shack.

I've wanted to try out their breakfast for a long time and now I finally did. Going for brunch on a Friday was a great idea even for a summer weekend. We got there a little after 11am and we were famished. My husband ordered their vegetable omelette with a side of bacon. I chose the Jim's Heartburner omelette which had chorizo, tomatoes, red onions and banana peppers in it. Both were delicious but I wish the omelettes were fluffier instead of being overdone. Home fries were decent. Service is friendly and excellent. Prices were just right. There's plenty of parking which is appreciated. Coffee was better than most breakfast places which is certainly something I notice.

I am doing this review to help other travelers and hopefully the restaurant makes some improvements. Service: Expect to wait at least 5-10 minutes to get seated on the restaurant side. Expect more to get a server on the lounge side. Don't expect coffee refills or anyone to come over to ask how your meal is and if you want another drink. Food: Oh boy. Where do I even begin? The Caesar salad was served on a small plate making it hard to mix up the salad without it spilling all over the table. The croutons were hard as a rock, couldn't eat them as I was afraid I would crack a tooth. Asked for grilled shrimp cooked well. Barely cooked. Flatbread pizza...it was OK, but the bread was not cooked at all so really doughy and hard to handle. Naan bread can be toasted, doesn't need to be uncooked. French fries: both regular and truffle....both were served basically raw. Looked cooked on outside, but inside was literally raw potato. Insane. Eggs: I believe they are liquid egg and not real cracked eggs. Get friend not scrambled if you want actual fresh eggs. Home fries: they were also raw. I don't think they know how to cook potatoes? Squash special: the actual squash was raw and hard as a rock. Was it meant to be a decorative element only and the goat cheese was the only thing people are meant to eat? Why call it a special if you can't eat the squash? I ordered pancakes thinking that was safe. I am not joking when I say that I had RAW batter in my pancake. How can you serve pancakes not fully cooked? My partner's order had this weird taste to it, like his were cooked on a really dirty grill. there was this weird after taste. How can you ruin pancakes? Well, this place did. I over heard others at the restaurant complain about the duck salad and that their order was wrong. I saw people getting the wrong dishes as well. And people brought in coffee and tea from the free area into the dining area because they knew it would take at least 10 minutes to be waited on after being sat, so they came prepared with their own beverages. There's just not enough staff. You have one person setting up a conference room who is also being the hostess/host trying to sit people, but people end up sitting themselves since they stand there for 15 mins waiting to be seated. It's really a hot mess. The Notch Grille is not a spot I would suggest eating at. It has a great view, so my suggestion is to have a cocktail at the bar and that's it. It's really too bad because I will never stay at the Glen House Inn again purely because of how bad the restaurant is. They could have something great here, but the food is really bad. I hope this review helps fellow travelers out and that the Glen House Inn steps it up, as this restaurant is making the hotel lose business.

We were on vacation in NH this weekend and this place was an absolute must go. I got the half stack pancakes with plain chocolate chip, whole wheat blueberry, and their special which was oatmeal granola. All were absolutely amazing. My mom got the buttermilk blueberry and gingerbread walnut- these two are our absolute favorite combos. We also got a side of their homemade wheat toast and home fries. If you go, you must get their home fries because they are arguably the best item on the menu, besides pancakes of course lol. My dad got a ham and cheese omelette, with a choice of 2 or 3 eggs (he got 3), which comes with home fries and toast. I also tried their iced lattes for the first time ever and I'm disappointed I never got it before. I got an iced latte with salted caramel flavor and whip cream which was amazing. Their menu is full of variety and they are so many substitutions and add ons you can make. Different combos of pancake batter and toppings, cheese and onions on home fries, different flavors of toast, etc. All the employees are so friendly too. Every time we've eaten here, the waiter/waitress is always so kind and friendly and attentive. Our waitress today, Lisa, was especially awesome. The food comes out in a decent amount of time too. Beware that they get VERY VERY busy once camping season starts, around Memorial Day weekend and continuing throughout the summer. You could be looking at a wait time of at least 2 hours on a weekend in the summer if you get there after 8 or 9am. They don't take calls for a waitlist, you have to be there to put your name on a list to wait. Since we went early May, we had no wait whatsoever. Please give this place your business, they deserve it and will not disappoint!!!
