    Supposed to be hashbrowns

    We just had the single worst breakfast experience we have ever had at Puffins in Millbury. Straight off our server didn't really seem very nice or approachable, but that wasn't as big of a deal as our food being absolutely disgusting. My fiancé has a dairy allergy, but apparently the kitchen pre-cooks their mushrooms and onions in butter every day. Ok, so no biggie, just cook them in oil right or not in butter, but no, the server came out because the kitchen made a big thing about it. Clearly inexperienced kitchen. Then we waited 40 minutes for a breakfast (all we ordered was bacon and eggs and an omelette while the older couple next to use who sat 15 minutes after we ordered already got their food. I had ordered 2 eggs scrambled , bacon, homefries and toast and an extra over easy egg. The over easy egg was cooked so poorly the server brought it out and told us "I told them overeasy, but this is what they did, do you want me to cook another one?". It was obliterated, I could not have replicated how overcooked this egg was. I said, um no, forget it, I just don't want the extra egg. Like, why did you bring it out if you knew it was cooked poorly. My scrambled eggs and bacon were residence inn quality and then the home fries were sooo gross, that is what is pictured. Cooked to where they were all just overcooked, dry, crunchy and tasting like oil and burnt. I didn't eat more than a bite. My fiancé got an omelette as mentioned and fruit on the side. The omelette along with the running theme of the day was on the overcooked side and the fruit was gross, not only not in season, but actually like potentially sitting around for days fruit. She also ordered avocado on the side since they were out of the side she wanted and could have and that never made it to her plate. Our waitress also never checked up on us once when it was clear we were waiting a well above average amount of time for our food and she never asked us how everything was. I would have told her had she asked, but sadly when I have this bad of an experience and it's given e blind eye I just had to write this review. To say that I will never be back is an understatement. Holy hell, how do you screw up breakfast this bad.

    On our way from the Lizzie Borden House we stopped in for some breakfast & we got the last parking spot in their relatively small parking lot. Not being from the area I'm not sure you can park on the street if the lots full so that's potentially a problem those who run across that. We really enjoyed the Country theme as it also had a nice, welcoming atmosphere. We ordered the Tuna Melt w Clam Chowder & the Golden Eagle Breakfast. Our meals were served in short order & everything was fantastic. In fact the Tuna Melt was absolutely the best one I've ever had in my life. Our server, Tiana, did a great job of taking care of us & the prices are fair. Other than a somewhat bad parking situation everything about Puffins was first rate & we will gladly come back next time we find ourselves in Millbury.

    I was pleasantly surprised when my friend and I stopped here recently for lunch. Cute decor, bright, airy and clean. My friend ordered the baked haddock dinner and I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken. We were both happy with our selections and our service was excellent. My salad was $10.25. I'll definitely return!!

    Breakfast food took forever to get and was dry and uncooked. Nothing about our meal was fresh or cooked well. Service was awful.

    My family and I have been to this restaurant many times and mostly enjoyed their food... We were…read moreeven impressed with this place when they relocated to their NEW location; up until now (today 12/18/2025). Despite there being a sign that stated "No outside food and drink", my mother (a senior) has brought in her purified jug of water MANY times with absolutely NO ISSUES. That is, until today, when an ill-mannered, condescending, and unprofessional bartender came up to our table and told her that she could not have her jug there. My mom looked at him and was like "it's water" and mentioned how she always brought in her water with her... His response... She either brings her jug out the car or he will have to take her jug, empty its contents and fill it up with their water... Ummm...okay... a bit threatening! So apparently he seems to think he has a right to confiscate someone's personal property now? What is he - a freaking bar bouncer? With all due respect but there was a better way he could have handled that and he failed miserably with that one... Needless to say, (currently) we won't be back, nor will we recommend this place to others. To the owner (if you are to ever see this review; let alone care about your regular customers), is it worth losing customers over a JUG OF WATER?! If so, you deserve to lose your customers, and I can only hope you lose more in the foreseeable future.

    I wasn't sure I had the right place after the move, but this is indeed tucked into the Tuttle VFW…read morepost in Auburn. This is set up like a lot of diners now. Lots of booths and high tops and the noise level wasn't too bad given how packed it was when I went. I went with my kiddo during a holiday, so the wait was a little longer than I was anticipating. However, the food was hot and fresh. The beans I had with breakfast were definitely not from a can. I will come back later and try the lunch menu. I love a local greasy spoon!
