There's just something about a small diner that draws me in. I love walking into a place where…read moreyou're greeted with a smile and a friendly hello--almost like you're Norm walking into Cheers. It's that feeling of being welcomed, appreciated, and treated like more than just another customer. Hawksbill Diner is just that kind of place. My family doesn't get there very often, but every time we do, we are treated with such a level of respect, kindness, and friendliness that you just don't find everywhere anymore. The food is good--nothing fancy, just good, old-fashioned, home-cooked country cooking. My only complaint would be that the diner is small inside and parking is limited. It's often busy, so definitely plan ahead. But even when they are very busy, the wait usually isn't long, and the service is still wonderful. I really appreciate places like this--good food, friendly people, and that comfortable "come on in and sit a spell" feeling. That's what keeps people coming back. If you're looking for a little hometown diner with good country cooking and genuinely friendly service, Hawksbill Diner is worth a stop!

It was busy and she was the only server. She was great! And as busy as she was, she never complained about being short-staffed or how crazy it was. Which, at any other place lately we would have had an earful of complaints. Barb's demeanor was calm and she treated us like we were the only people she had to wait on. Excellent service! Okay now onto the food. 3 of us had the cheese omelette. I had it with sausage and the home fried potatoes. Others had the bacon and the hash browns. Our grandson had the pancakes. Everything was great. Very fresh and portions were generous without being obnoxious. The home fries we REALLY good. They don't have a really large menu, but they offer the basics. Keeping it simple and good. Look, the diner is old school but clean. We had a relaxed, stress free meal that was good. Highly recommend. And remember, when you go ask for Barb.

We got a couple sandwiches that were good but the smell in there was overpowering. Old and stale.read more

I used my GPS to get there and ended up about one mile away. I am glad we found the place! It's…read morenothing special to look at inside or out, but the food was very good. My Hubby and I ordered the hot hamburger platter. It was served with mashed potatoes ( next time I'll get fries), while he opted for fresh steamed broccoli, I got the cole slaw. Our meal was served timely, hot and delicious. The beef was hand made paddies and from local area butchers. The next time we go I'll try a hamburger on a bun. The pricing was what I expected to pay, not out of alignment with similar places. The service was friendly and seems more of a close knit family place. The iced tea was refreshing, not too sweet. We'll go back again, it is worth the 1 1/2 hr drive.

The good: Place was clean and good service (drink refills)…read more The bad: The server got my wife's first order wrong and argued about it. She ordered chicken, not beef for the cheese steak sandwich. The ugly: First order of fries were burnt as was the beef in the first sandwich. My roast beef sandwich was cooked well done thus tough and dry. The bread was store bought or equivalent like Wonder Bread or something. Even worse was the cherry pie. It was served in a pile as if someone dropped it or something. "Field to Fork" means fresh food. Three skimpy specks of chili pepper in a cheese steak sandwich is crazy. Wonder bread? So the sign was misleading. Perhaps just a bad day for them? The menu looked good, only if the could execute. I'll pass on recommending.

Broadway is a cute town, bustling with a farmer's market Saturday morn when we were there. We also checked out the fun nursery nearby with a produce corner - picked up peaches, sweet corn & watermelon - ahhhh, the foods of summer. Anyhoo, back to Gobblers Grill. Restaurant is quite spacious, tables, booths and bar seating. We had just eaten fresh baked pastries from a road-side stand, so weren't super hungry. Ordered full-size salad and taco salad for hubs. Food came out in 3min (awesome!) No complaints (my salad could have less cheese but hey, more for the taco). Hubs was very happy with his dish, so much taco meat, he ate it over three meals!

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

To be a restaurant that is in a prime location the food is atrocious and the quality of the staff is horrible. The owner has his junk all over a table in the middle of the restaurant with a chair that is ductaped together, this completely ruined the ambiance for me. I am a chef myself and would not feed this food to my dogs.

Great scenery of the mountains (though mostly of the golf course). The interior is a little dark/gloomy, but the view out the windows is a dream! The food was also pretty good! We had the blackened tuna bites appetizer, which was the real standout. So tender, so well-seasoned. Really excellent. I had the fish sandwich as my main with sweet potato fries. Both tasted great, and the portion size was reasonable. We were impressed at the extent of the menu and the range of options for people with different dietary needs and preferences. We'd be back for sure if we find ourselves in the area again!

Service was friendly and excellent. Menu is so tough because there were so many amazing looking options for lunch. They even have rotating daily lunch specials. The theme is New Orleans style cooking and from what I heard about the family, it's legit... From what I tasted, it's most definitely amazing!! I loved the spice and overall flavors in my food. Starting with their BBQ shrimp - this is a large appetizer that was so tasty! The shrimp was perfectly cooked and very fresh. The buttery BBQ sauté was spiced and herbed up perfectly too. It comes with plenty of toast points to dip and sop up that sauce too!! My main dish was their Alpha Girl Po Boy - WOW!!! This was INCREDIBLE! All ingredients were perfectly fresh and perfectly seasoned! The entire sandwich came together amazingly well and was so darn tasty! I even like that they hollowed out a portion of the crown of the baguette to let all that amazing stuffing fit inside without falling out and being a mess. And their homemade, freshly cooked potato chips were incredibly tasty too! I can't wait to return and most definitely will... Highly recommend stopping in!

I've been eyeing New Iberia Kitchen for a while now - as I love Cajun cuisine…read more I finally got to try some of their food on a Sunday. Apparently, currently the only day of the week they offer Brunch is on Sundays. I showed up about 11:00 am. The place was full of diners - so instead of waiting for a table, I sat at the bar. It's not a large bar - I'd say it seats approximately 9-10 people. I ordered the Boudin balls - which come with a tasty dipping sauce called "Swamp Mustard." I also ordered the Cajun Omelette - which is stuffed with "smushed Boudin balls." Comes with a side of rather unexciting breakfast potatoes. The Boudin balls were tasty - and had a nice crispy texture. The Swamp Mustard is really good with the balls. The Cajun Omelette was rather ho-hum - I was expecting and hoping for something with more complexity and heat. The smushed Boudin balls were rather bland. The Omelette was cooked properly. The breakfast potatoes were unseasoned. I'd like to try out some other menu items - I'm hoping for something that will Wow me. Paid with Apple Pay. #NewIberiaKitchen
