Although we didn't realize it when we walked in, road weary from leaf peeping, they were closing soon. So, they quite rudely told us that the kitchen was closed and we could only choose from the items in their showcase, a sparse amount of bakery items in various stages of decay. I asked how the only savory item was, a garlic rosemary focaccia bread. The staff shrugged her shoulders and said okay. I asked what kind of drink they could make. She pointed to the refrigerator filled with bottles, obviously unwilling to make a crafted tea or coffee for me. Nice. So I grabbed a root beer. Not at all what I wanted. Yes, I could have just walked out but I was starving and thirsty after a hike earlier at Flume Gorge. 2. The total for the focaccia and one root beer was a staggering $19.66 with a tip (even though this was a counter sale and take out since they were closing, and taking into consideration the rudeness I encountered, I still left an 18% tip). 3. Before leaving the place, I walked into the tiny restroom which was trashed and had no toilet paper or soap to wash hands (hopefully the staff have soap somewhere!) so I left immediately. 4. After spending almost a $20 bill, experiencing rudeness, I sat outside and took a bite of the focaccia. It tasted as if it had been sitting in the showcase since Thursday (it was Saturday) It was stale and not at all tasty. I tossed it in the garbage and left. What a complete waste of money and time. I told ChatGPT about the recommendation it made and how my experience went. It was a really funny reply I received so I'll share it. I won't blame ChatGPT for the recommendation. Maybe a different day, a different attitude and fresher food would make a difference. I am not willing to give it a second try. I would recommend you don't either. I should have known by the scary sculpture out front of their sign would lead to a terrifying experience.

We got seated outdoors and didn't realize how many motorcycles were around the area. We had sort of a strange experience with our waitress, a little off putting if I were describe it. They did also get our order wrong once. We got the Smashed Gyro which was delicious, it was flavorful and came with a refreshing salad. The rating is strictly as this was amazing. On the other hand we also got BLT..and this was quite the disappointment. I believe this was Kraft cheese and it completely ruined the entire sandwich. It was so salty and the bacon was just hard not crispy. The bread was overly toasted and was just hard to bite through. I asked for pickles on the side but they were sweet so not my cup of tea but grateful that it was provided.

Very spacious inside with tables and booths of all sizes, a very long bar, and also an outside patio area. Gets quite busy so may expect a wait. The menu has some classic appetizers and some choices for handhelds or entrees. The cocktail menu has a good variety as well, and a good selection of beer drafts on tap. Had the turkey melt, which had raspberry jam and was quite tasty. Quite a large wrap and you get a massive portion of fries too! Also had the Mac n cheese and it was very heavy and cheesy in a big skillet. All the staff are just so welcoming and awesome, we loved our bartenders and server and they made our visit great. Thanks

We were getting worried about time as we wanted dessert too but didn't want to be those people keeping staff there. The waitress came over and apologized about the wait and said they'd be taking care of our entrees! That's the way you do it. Before we could even complain or say anything they recognized the issue and made it right on the spot. The entrees were well worth the wait as was the dessert. Very impressed!

There are not a ton of dining options in this area, so when we were looking for dinner one night,…read morewe wound up at the Hardwick Street Cafe, which is a restaurant inside of like a small community/convention center type of venue. It's funny because when we arrived, the women at the front desk asked if we were trying to squeeze in dinner before the show, and we were like, "What show?" The food was good and the service was choppy. But I would come back and have another meal here. Everyone tried hard anyway. So we started by ordering a couple of drinks. I was surprised when I asked the young lady which of the two cider options she'd recommend and she said she wasn't allowed to serve alcohol and had to ask one of the older servers. Ah to be young :-) We ordered the cheese platter to start, which came out with four kinds of cheese, some lovely crispy flatbread kind of crackers. We order these types of things at restaurants a lot, and usually when the cheese platter comes to your table, the waiter or waitress tells you the different types of cheeses. That did not happen here so we asked - the young lady again did not know and said she would go ask someone. And then she basically just never came back with the information. We guessed there was a white cheddar, a gouda and a bleu cheese. Still don't know what the fourth one was. I got the cheeseburger, which was fine. And the potato wedge fries that I think I upgraded to were very good. My husband got the chicken and waffles special, which he said was OK. I got a piece of the special of the day chocolate chip cheesecake to go for dessert, and that was VERY good. So in all, decent and would come back. But the service was a bit lacking.

A shell of its former glory…read more I grew up hearing my parents rave about this place, they were nearly regulars a few years ago at their old location. I tried my brothers steak and we both agreed it was the most unique tasting steak we'd ever had in a bad way. My mom ordered a dish that came with rice and it seemed as if it was a type of quick/instant rice and her meal wasn't enjoyable. She said the quality went downhill from previous years. I ordered the duck, and I could hardly cut it, it wasn't tender, it was extremely chewy and the flavor was almost tasteless and what I could taste wasn't good. The sides were better than the duck sadly. My little brothers got burgers and fries and I will say the fries easily best the rest of the food with their salt and skins still on. The prices are steep and are comparable to other "fancy" middle tier restaurants, another side note all of our dishes for 6 people came out within 10 minutes which says something. I wish our experience was different.

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!!!
