The WORST hamburger we ever ate at a sit-down restaurant. We asked for medium and received hockey-pucks that were drowned in condiments. Patties were definitely from frozen meat that had smelling odor. French fries were so well done, they were crispy chips. Spent $42 for 2 burgers and 1 sparkling water. Left the place with just few bites. Since I was with my wife, we did not make a scene. If I was there alone, I would have sent the burgers back and left the place. read more

My friend and I just had breakfast at this restaurant. It was a wonderful dining experience. The best western omelette I ever had and I'm old lol. The coffee was amazing. They get green beans and roast them themselves. The service and ambience was amazing. Can't wait to go back and try their lunch someday. read more

Lady was nice but the sign is to get people to come in tbh the A horrible thing to do read more

Old Stone - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sussex, New Jersey

While driving up to NY this past weekend, I was looking for a nice place to stop for lunch with my wife and in-laws. Thanks to Yelp, I came across Old Stone. In this older town of Sussex, it was just what we were looking for. Old Stone is located in a little strip mall in the heart of town. There are only a few tables inside, but no problem seating on an early Saturday afternoon. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent and very fresh. We chose the soup and sandwich combo. I had the signature roast beef sandwich and the turkey vegetable soup. We all loved our meals. Only suggestion I would make is to turn the heat up, was pretty chilly there. If you're in Sussex, give the Old Stone a try (just dress warm)! read more

Nice little eatery for breakfast, brunch. Very clean and reasonably priced. Give it a try.

One of the best local eatery experience I've had in the area. No frills locals place. Super friendly staff as well as the locals who frequent this place. High quality local ingredients, and great coffee. Must get the taylor ham or pork roll if you are not from the area its an unique NJ item unlike anything else. read more

Old Stone - French Toast and Taylor ham and eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sussex, New Jersey

Great sit down breakfast or lunch. Small, but clean and welcoming. Friendly owners that take care of their clientele.

I've lived up in this area for going on 5yrs now and am so happy to see there opened again, as they are a 5 minute walk from my place. Tried them first the first time today and tho my expectations are always high, they did not fail to impress. Cup of coffee was immediately addressed as soon as I sat down, which is always nice-not having to wait. Coffee could be a bit better as I drink mine black, no sugar. Went nicely with the food, but normally I have 2 cups, but settled for just one. Waitress was very friendly without being overbearing. I was given ample time to read menu and make my decision. My order came out in the perfect amount of time and it was delicious I ordered an American cheese omelette with side of bacon and home fries (hf come with the omelette). No toast for me. Home fries were nicely done; crispy on the outside and tender and creamy inside. The omelette had just a wee bit too much cheese, but the omelette was light and fluffy and very near perfect. Bacon was cooked just right. The restaurant itself was warm and welcoming, with some historical accents, in the form of some antiques placed nicely throughout. Very clean with tables arranged and spaced well so as not to feel crowded. There are some seats in the window facing out with a nice wooden counter. Stepping up to pay, (which btw, was extremely reasonable) I noticed a lot of attractive desserts in the bright, clear glass case, so I purchased a blueberry turnover to go. Tho I don't know if they do much, if any baking on premises, it was fresh and scrumptious. I look forward to my next visit, as there are more items I wish to try here. A+ read more

I've lived down the block from this place since it opened. Actually I believe the owners live about 5 or 6 houses from my former lake house. I have no idea why it took me so long to come here and eat. My son and I came here after karate class to try "the best French toast in the nation" and have some breakfast. It's very well decorated inside and has a very homey feel to it. Pastries and meats are in the deli case, you can smell the fresh coffee brewing and the people there are friendly and warm. My son had the French toast and eggs which was a huge portion of food and very well prepared. I had an egg white and ham sandwich on a bagel that was also very well portioned and cooked perfectly. I also had a cup of freshly made coffee which was excellent on a cold and snowy day. Like most places, I try to look at all the positives and then try to find one of two things I would do differently or that the venue could do better and honestly, I couldn't find anything that could've been done better here. The French toast was incredible, the eggs were fluffy and well prepared and my sandwich was great. We cannot wait to go back and will be doing so soon. Great job Old Stone!! read more

this place says they have the best french toast but if I'm being completely honest it is not even close. it was very dry and is made with terrible bread read more

This was my first visit to Old Stone. It was a Saturday at 10:00am. I took a seat at the counter. Influenced by the best french toast sign outside, I ordered that with sausage patty and tea. I enjoyed my meal while watching early Saturday morning programs on the two televisions and listening to local 102.3 WSUS-FM radio, playing hits from the 80's until now on iHeart radio. The food doesn't come with the unhealthy sugary powder on top which I took in account when determining the taste. I did more syrup then I usually do to add flavor. I'm still trying to figure out the "established in 1843" designation next to the "celebrating our first year" notation on the menu cover. read more

Every time I pass the shuttered building that used to be the Old Stone I am saddened. It was one of the finest little eateries anywhere. It appears to have been a victim of the pandemic. I am guessing that is what happened. If anyone knows why this wonderful little place is not open again I would love to hear the reason. Their French toast was just as advertised....simply unbeatable anywhere. I am sure I am not alone in wishing this restaurant to reopen. Any ideas? read more

We stopped in for a late breakfast. We were so impressed. Everything was made from scratch and very delicious. Incredible Boston crème donuts that are made on site. If we lived locally, this would certainly become our regular spot. All three of us were very happy with everything we ordered. We even splurged on homemade ice cream to end our meal. Great tea selection too! read more

My best friend I decided to do lunch together and looked at several places on Yelp. We found this one and it looked interesting and had good reviews. We decided to give it a try. Even though we had checked out where it was, we almost drove by it. This place is sort of like the TARDIS, appearing smaller on the outside. than it is on the inside. I decided to go off the breakfast menu and he decided to opt for lunch. Neither was a mistake. The food was very good, the staff wonderful and the price is reasonable. I am looking forward to returning. My best friend is luckier though as he passes it on his way to work and has a newfound Jim he can stop at. read more

I love your chili dogs they taste awesome when I go to New Jersey next time I'm definitely going here!!! read more

Delicious. Found it via Yelp and the 4.5 Stars. Had the garden omelet. All four of us liked it a lot.

Best burgers in Sussex county. If you want fresh made to order breakfast or lunch come to Old Stone. The burgers are awesome always hand formed and cooked to perfection. This is a family run place and it shows you are made to feel like one of them as soon as you walk it. They had pick their coffee and roast it fresh it is simply the best. Good people making good food. read more

1st visit here we were impressed by the homey decor and the excellent service. The French toast was excellent although it was only 2 small pieces we left hungry. read more

I love this place. There are quite a few good diners in the area; this might be my favorite. It's a little well appointed bistro style place and the food is fantastic. They brag about their french toast on the sign and it didn't disappoint. Everything is fresh, the coffee is excellent (important for me) and the service is attentive without being intruding. Their baked goods are great and if they have empenadas that day, do yourself a favor and take a couple home. They're delicious. read more

OMG!! Quaint storefront with antique tin ceiling creates great atmosphere with friendly staff and great service! Hard roll breakfast sandwiches are a favorite but the best is the French toast! Thin bread grilled to perfection caramelizing the sugar just slightly, and spice blend makes this so much better than typical ho-hum French toast. Their sign is correct! "The nations best French toast" read more

First time here after reading a bunch of positive reviews. Lived here for 20 yrs and had no idea it was here. Great sausage and Swiss omelette and awesome French toast! Very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Highly recommend! read more

This place was great. It was a little hard to find because gps dropped us off just passed it and the logo on their sign is really small but once we got in it was great. Breakfast was delicious and coffee was strong and very good. Decor is cute and comfortable. Would not be good for large parties but it's fine for a family. Prices are fair and waitstaff is friendly and attentive. Definitely will be back. read more

Very tasty breakfast. The best bacon I've ever had. It just melts in my mouth and not greasy. Service was very good and price was reasonable. Definitely want to go back. read more

This is slowly becoming my go to for good quality meals on days I decide to do takeout. The food is good and the place has an awesome atmosphere. My only criticism is they don't have menus you can take home or to work. Aside from that, I love it. read more

A very nice little cafe and the food is very good. The staff is friendly but a bit under-staffed. The food is of nice sized portions, especially the burger. Downside is that the service a bit slow. We would go again though if we are in the area. Prices very reasonable. read more

This place is a hidden gem in the town of Sussex!! The staff is so very friendly and the whole place is always so clean! I highly recommend their burgers for lunch - they are hand formed, very juicy and generously sized. Breakfasts are incredible too - omelets are cooked to perfection and they serve freshly roasted coffee. Highly recommend this place! read more

This has to be the best breakfast and lunch restaurant in Sussex County. The food this morning was fantastic. We only came here after eating at the diner yesterday and wanted something much better. Went on Yelp and saw the reviews. Amazing. Let me tell you the five star reviews on here are correct but it's even better. I'd say 6 stars. Other than the amazing food, the staff and the atmosphere and cleanliness is superb. The bakery and Danish products are made here in the cafe. Fresh ground Coffee from all over the world. My omelette was perfect and my friends French toast incredible according to him. Just ask for Rosita. She's such a nice woman and will make sure you have a great meal and great relaxing time. read more

This could have been an easy 4 or 5 stars for breakfast , food was very good . Thought the western omelette came with home fries, mine didn't . Wife had French toast , said it was very good , but she was still hungry with only being served 2 thin small slices . Coffee was very good . We both left feeling still a little hungry . Would love to return to this place and give it another try , but , when we got home , we were told that we smelled badly of grease . The place is small with 4 tables and the exhaust system is either not working properly or it was not turned on . When I returned to my car later on that afternoon , I knew what they were smelling , because the car reeked badly as well. read more

A diamond in the rough. The modest exterior hides a hidden gem - genuine care is taken over every item. The place is clean, friendly and the food exhibits an unusually personal touch- no cookie cutter US Foods deal here. The burgers are absolutely terrific but HUGE - if you need an "il digestivo" of red wine, bring along a bottle read more

What an amazing place! Great service! Great food! Generous portions. They have a deli counter, where you can purchase their delicious salads & more. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Everything we've had here was top notch, as good as any baked goods we've ever had, including home made. This morning's breakfast empanadas were totally yummy, brimming with meat and a superlative crust. Kudos to the chef. read more

Customer service is terrible. I ordered roast beef sandwich and the sauce they put on burned my nose and mouth. I asked if they can just remake it with mayo, lettuce and tomato, that's it. They took the same roast beef with the sauce still on it, remade it and put cheese on it. I didn't want that. I told them to take it back and forget about it. The lady/ manager gave me a dirty look the whole time as my bf finished his sandwich. She had the nerve to still charge me for the sandwich I barely ate, which was horrible anyway. If they didn't charge me for the sandwich or at least apologized about it I would of came back but giving me a dirty look isn't right. I work in the food industry so I know customer service is important. I will never return here. read more

If you like homemade food made with the best ingredients this is the place They roast the coffee beans they make everything by hand on premises and you can taste the difference Great people can't wait to eat there again read more

We found this place as we were leaving high point state park after a night of camping. Wonderful coffee and blueberry muffin! Friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Will be back if we ever pass this way again read more
