    The "giant pancake" post-hour long wait.

    Papa Pete's was disappointing. When we arrived (10 am on a Saturday) they told us food would be a 30 minute wait, which was fine so we took a table. We ordered coffee (which tasted like Folger's, it was mediocre) and water. We placed an order for 3 eggs, hash browns, and white toast along with a giant banana pancake. We were told the giant pancake would take 20 extra minutes. I said that was fine and said we could take the dishes as they were ready, the waitress said "that's not how we do things here, they all come out together." We waited for 45 minutes and received the smaller items, and the waitress said the pancake was getting put on the grill now so it would be another 20 minutes, even though she had told us everything would come out together. The smaller items were fine, but unseasoned. The giant pancake came out after 1 hour total and it was fine, but it could have had more bananas. One small container of maple syrup was provided for the pancake and extra small containers are $2 each, so use sparingly.

    Stuffed French toast with blueberries

    Food amazing, along with the portion sizes! My husband had the giant pancake and I had the stuffed French toast with fresh blueberries!!! Owner is amazing she makes it a place to be in. Service was great and lots of laughs. Ambiance is down home and great. If you're easily offended you may not want to stop. This place reminds me of a big family! We will be back again and again. We also were able to park our 5th whee and truck no problem

    Two Vermosas and a Mimosa

    Best staff ever. It's like a comedy show and best big breakfast for an entertaining and relaxing start to the day. Come to laugh and roll with the punches. Enjoy a "Vermosa" or two and make sure you tell the Bitch how wonderful she is. She is awesome and deserves it. Seriously, Kathy, you made our visit memorable and we thank you!

    Poached eggs

    I thought I reviewed this place before but apparently not. We stopped on the way back to NY from a ski trip to Okemo. It was a Sunday morning and the crowd was pretty light but that filled in a bit while we ate. From the street this place doesn't look very special and the interior decor is a bit outdated but the food was exactly what we were looking for. The menu isn't as big as many comparable diners but the offerings vary enough to keep everyone satisfied. Items from burgers to pancakes to reubens to a variety of egg based breakfasts. I had the philly cheese omelet and my wife had Poached eggs. Our son had a pbj which he devoured. The breakfast potatoes were excellent and the horse sauce on the side of my philly was a nice touch. Omelet was good and packed with meet and peppers. Poached eggs were cooked good as well. Food came quick but they had one waitress in duty who was super friendly but she was stretched thin. So while the food was on the good side of fair and pricing Very good, the one waitress won me over with her table side manner. She gets 5 Stars. Spoiler alert: no reflection on the food but the next sentence may spoil your appetite. Our four year old was very tired from a long weekend and choking a bit from his allergies. He choked so much that he vomited at the table a bit (before eating his entire sandwich) Without missing a beat, the waitress brought napkins and towels to help clean him up. He didn't make much of a mess but she made him and us all feel comfortable with the mishap. We found out she was a mother and school teacher so it made sense. I don't wish this on any of the future diners but I just needed to mention bc so many servers could have made a big deal, shamed or ignored what happened and this women stepped up. Thank you to her and we will definitely be back when he's feeling a bit better. As noted above, he proceeded to eat his entire meal after that and her service was a big part in that.

    Big parking lot for a small spot. We showed up before the rest of our party and they had no problem with us sitting early and ordering drinks. The service was just great. And the food, so much food!! We tried to finish it all but just couldn't. Just a wonderful little breakfast spot that you have to hit up if your in the area.

Not pictured is the cinnamon roll we split because it was too good to wait for a photo. The Texas burrito and chili got rave reviews from my dining partner, and my omelette was solid, though interestingly assembled. The fillings were layered rather than chopped and mixed throughout. Once I cut it all together, the flavor came through nicely, and the home fries were great. We'll definitely be back, and I'm already eyeing a few other dishes to try next time.

Most of it was stringy, they offered only potatoes as a side, and "whatever the chef decides on a particular day." My husband's filet mignon was overcooked and dry, his potatoes lukewarm, and scallops overcooked. He told the waitress who offered to take the scallops - not the entire plate. The manager came over to apologize and asked my husband if he'd like to try anything else but he was too disappointed and lost his appetite. He explained that we were celebrating our anniversary but the woman didn't care to acknowledge it. After all that, the waitress returned and asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu without apologizing about our meal. Very unprofessional. We declined, paid the check, and left the bare minimum tip, which we never do. We don't blame the waitress for the food, but for her service technique and disinterest in her patrons' needs. Oh, they didn't charge us for my husband's meal but lacked the courtesy to tell us in person. Needless to say, despite the charming atmosphere, excellent salad bar, and incredible appetizers, we will not return. Maybe the chef had an off night, but what excuse did the staff have?

Flavor on the food was just lacking. Even the Vermont cheddar cheese was bland and only a whisper of sharpness. The home made chips good but lacked anything special. The true problem of this place is the ownership/management. We went there little after it opened. To see a table with a 5 gallon bucket of utensils and servers doing their side work on a table you have to walk past to get to anywhere in the seating area. Then we come to the management/owner. My biggest pet peeve is doing the books or daily paperwork in the guest area. You have an office or a place away from your guests. Not in full view and with in ear shot of your guests. And not in a place where sound carries. The BIGGEST complaint is the language. You are the leader of your staff. You set an example for the behavior and attitude of your staff. Dropping F-BOMBS and other vulgar language is not at anytime acceptable. Clearly the servers knew it and didn't thankfully follow your lead. This is NOT your buddies garage or basement. You are having people come in and hearing your language and seeing and clearly hearing your behavior I can not recommend going here. If it was based on food maybe. But clearly the ownership and leadership will keep me away from here. Such potential wasted by such poor work ethics.

She didn't come back to our table until it was time for the check which also took a very long wait. Our waters were never filled despite there being two bussers roaming the restaurant non stop. We were quite disappointed with the service. Food was okay. Nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary. Oatmeal was on the thicker side. Scrambled eggs were on the dryer side. Steak was cooked fine. Given this experience, I would not come back. Service was slow and the server didn't seem to care for us. I know it was busy and people have bad days but this ruined our experience. Also we had called to ask if we could make reservations (never having been here) a few days before and the person who answered the phone gave a snarky reply.

Most breakfast places seat diners during their open hours. If it says 1:30pm then the staff can get out by 2:30. This restaurant tends to push people away - who are there for brunch - at about 12:15. Not sure the owners know how much business they are actually turning away since it's not apparent that once someone has been turned away over an hour before their end of day never bother to return. Also now that tips aren't technically taxed I would think employees would like a full day of work. Perhaps they need 2 shifts of wait staff and/or open for breakfast at 8:00am rather than 7:00. I moved to Manchester 3 yrs ago and have been baffled by the shortage of people willing to work full time or employers willing to add part-time workers on their busy days (Friday through Monday) There must be a way to keep staff and accommodate early afternoon brunch (10-2pm) diners. Manchester is basically a resort town that has kept its small town feel - which is a positive - but most restaurants in the area depend on seasonal diners.
