It feels like a hole in the wall, but at the same time is actually very clean and thoughtfully decorated. I loved all of the pictures of old fashioned movie stars on the wall, and much preferred this ambiance to any of my local diners. Our server was a young man who we later found out was the grandson of the owners, who were sitting right at the counter table. It made Marilyn's even more charming to know that it really is just a mom-and-pop that an entire family rallys to takes great pride in. I was really excited to see cheese blintz on the menu, as this is one of my favorites but is not so common! I ordered this, along with a side of bacon, and a decaf coffee. My blintz was excellent and came loaded with fresh fruits and sour cream. It was better than the blintzes I used to order from my favorite Ukranian restaurant in NYC. The bacon was cooked perfectly (crispy!) and my coffee was awesome. I will definitely be returning to bring my husband. I am only knocking off one star (it hurts to do this because I really loved my food and experience here) because they only offer bottled water, they are cash only, and the bathroom was very VERY cramped. Otherwise this would've been a five star review!

I would not recommend.

This is definitely the best breakfast Hackettstown has to offer…read more We got eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and a scone. The scone was incredible! The eggs were poached perfectly on the Benedict. The scrambled eggs unfortunately had so much salt in them they were on the edge of being unpalatable, so next time we will likely ask for no salt to be used. We were really surprised by the amount of salt used. The potato's are delicious- absolutely loved them. The only feedback on the Benedict is to please include way more sauce- there wasn't enough to actually taste it, or have some sauce on every bite, which really feels like the point of eggs Benedict. I'm not sure I'd order it again for that reason, although I want to- they nailed the eggs. Their iced coffee was good, too! The staff was really nice although they did seem very overwhelmed by the number of people they were serving. When we arrived the restaurant was about 3/4 full and we waited about 20 minutes to be seated while the kitchen "got caught up." Not too big of a deal, but definitely unexpected. The restaurant itself is cute, cozy, and clean. We've found it hard to find a good breakfast place in Hackettstown that isn't a diner so all in all we're very happy to have found Stella G's and just hope this little bit of feedback will be heard!

Versac is a fairly small space with several tables. It has a nice vibe and (not to my taste) rather loud music. I ordered an arepa with white cheese and scrambled eggs, and coffee (served in a paper cup with milk foam). The coffee was excellent, the food very good. Service was a little spotty, but acceptable (not a deal breaker). If I find myself in the area again I would certainly go back for a meal: the menu is extensive and I would love to try several other dishes. Quite an enjoyable meal, and a good value. Recommended.

Today, my fiancee and I were in the middle of our breakfast after being there for no more than 25 minutes. There was still food on my plate and my coffee cup was full. A waitress came over in an abrasive and rude tone "You know, we have a line outside. School is off today." I was absolutely appalled, and we left without finishing my food or coffee. When we walked out, no one was waiting for a table and no one was outside. I have no idea what this woman's problem is or why any business would think that it's appropriate to admonish customers to eat faster, but I will never ever be coming back here and I will make sure to share this experience with everyone in the area.

We got a toasted everything with scallion cream cheese and a toasted cheddar jalapeño with plain cream cheese. The bagels were very good and very fresh. The cheddar jalapeño was particularly tasty. The service was also friendly and excellent. I also really liked how the entire restaurant was decorated for halloween. It was so fun inside! I am only knocking off one star because I did not get enough cream cheese on my cheddar jalepeño. The everything bagel had enough. But the bagel itself is around $1.50, but with cream cheese it came to $5. When I opened up the bagel there was definitely not $3.50 worth of cream cheese in there. I had to add my own cream cheese when I got home.

Chester Bagel has a self-serve coffee dispenser so customers can get free refills. Marilyn's Cafe and Chester Diner servers come to our table and refill our coffee. I think it is totally inappropriate and rude to treat customers in the manner which we were treated. We will gladly take our business elsewhere.
