Always outstanding. Everything is awesome. Live nearby and frequent here often, never had a bad experience.

Great food at a great price with hometown atmosphere. The staff have always been pleasant and I've never had anything there that I didn't like. They make an awesome breakfast! read more

The food is outstanding, it really sticks out among other breakfast and lunch spots in the area. Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic find! Fresh, local ingredients, perfect portion sizes, and interesting twists on classic menu items. I nearly died of happiness eating the tilapia this afternoon. Fast friendly service too. A must for brunch! read more

We eat at this restaurant whenever we visit our daughter at college. Such a nice way to start our visit! We have never had a bad meal and service has always been quick and polite. I love their specials and the regular menu. read more

This is by far the best breakfast joint in town. Service is fantastic and we have never had a bad meal. Their eggs Benedict is quite delicious and they make fantastic scones! Had the dark chocolate/orange scone this morning and it was to die for!! read more

Great service, friendly wait staff, nice decor. Black bean chili special was phenomenal! I loved that it had a wide range of vegetables including fall squash. read more

Love Stella G's. We live in the area and will only go here for breakfast, so we visit frequently. The service is usually great, the food is always fresh and delicious and the place feels clean. I have brought friends and family when they visit and they have always enjoyed it and look forward to returning. read more

Recently went with my family and the wait staff was surly and rude. The new owners are no where to be found, so that allows for staff to behave however they wish. I would like to have on-site presence of the new owners in order to bring staff back into line. read more

Food is excellent and comes out quick. Service is also very good. Wish they were open for dinner!

Unfortunately, Courtney and Nick, purchased Stella G's on July 8th from Bruno and Maureen with our Booked Party. They had no experience with Catering and it became quite apparent. Courtney used my Event Sheet for the Event Billing since she was unaware how to Book the Event, set up an event nor run an event. They did not provide Chafing Dishes, 60% of the Contract Food, 4 of the 8 Waitstaff, the 2 Chefs, Condiments, nor enough Food to feed the Guests. They never served the Bridal Party the Hors d' Oeuvres they did bring, only 20% from Contract until I asked some 45 minutes later. Staff rude. Buffet was either burnt or cold and not labeled and cross-contaminated with pork/beef and supposedly crab in one tin and the Staff was too busy on their phones to serve and had no idea what anything was. There was suppose to be 4 stations with a Carving Station and we paid for 2 Chefs, there was not a carving station. I asked Courtney to have the staff start clearing the plates. They did and come to find out that they broke the venue's China & stemware and disposed of their flatware (Courtney refused to compensate the venue this expense.) I spent the entire day either chasing down Courtney asking for something or running from her as she was confused as needed an answer. I am the mother of the bride. They also tortured the Bride and was very rude to her. I contacted Courtney and Nick to discuss this matter via email and phone. Courtney called the bride on her honeymoon 3 times and other guests and my employer instead of me. When I set up an appt to meet with her, she stated she didn't have time to talk to me. She fully believes that everything went wonderfully. Courtney called the bride and me relentlessly to state that additional grats, $1400, was owed to her & her staff until finally the Bride paid them $600 some 5 weeks later to stop the emails & texts. They continued and the Bride finally blocked her. This is just a summary. I have asked them for their COI and they have refused and I am with the assumption that they did not have insurance as they refused to provide this to the venue as well. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g46481-d4274444-r299673706-Stella_G_s-Hackettstown_New_Jersey.html# read more

Expensive, but very good. Adventurous menu with local seasonal ingredients. read more

I've had breakfast there several times. The breakfast menu is large and diverse, with a couple of unique options. Two other members of my party had an egg casserole with mixed vegetables, served in a skillet. I had regular pancakes with a side of bacon. The side portion was very generous and definitely worth the price. I will definitely be returning for breakfast again. I had to knock it down a star due to service and a lack of management. The waiting area is extremely small. It didn't help that there was nobody up front helping to manage the space. Because of the wait, a server walked up and tried to talk us into eating at the bar. I had to say no about five times before she let it go. I guess there could have been reservations, but it appeared that several tables sat open while multiple parties waited to be sat. A little organization on their behalf would go a long way. read more

I am in shock at the quality of this restaurant. Room is cosy. The menu is outstanding, the execution of each item was impeccable. The staff was courteous and efficient. The dishes were seasonal and imaginative. Would have paid double for the lunch I had anywhere in Bergen County or NYC. Totally sensational Pork Belly on Ciabatta with Frisee and Grainy Mustard, side of unique slaw and home made chips. Chicken Pot Pie that was sublime. Egg nog creme brûlée. We will return. Hackettstown has a diamond in its midst. read more

I would go back again and again! The food is absolutely delicious, not greasy, flavorful, fresh and has a nice flare to it. The seasonal scones are amazing. Stella G's is a family restaurant with good service. read more

The place is charming and clean......service good and friendly.......French toast was great.....as was the omelet and stuffed waffle.....would come everyday if it was closer to us......highly recommend it......wish it was open on Mondays. read more

I have been a regular customer at Stella G's since it opened. I have never had a meal that I did not love and I am constantly amazed at how good their ever changing "specials" are. They are accommodating for my dietary restrictions and beside the food being outstanding, the waitresses are top notch! Highly recommend for breakfast or lunch! read more

Always pretty consistently good. Diner style food. Staff is always nice and atmosphere is always pretty happy. Coffee is mild but good. Price is average high 10/dish And always crowded during busy prime hours. The place is loved by the neighborhood. read more

I've come here on two separate occasions. The first time we had a lovely waitress and the food was pretty good. (Love all the healthy options). Second time our waitress was rude and food had not been as great as the first time I came. Could have just been a bad day for the place. I wouldn't be in a hurry to return though. read more

I love Stella G's! I rarely get the opportunity to dine in there, but it's one of my favorite take out options for lunch throughout the work week. I always check out the specials because there are always some interesting options, but most of the time I'll stick with my standby: The Chicken Stella G's. So fantastic, and very different from what you'd get anywhere else. However, I wanted to branch out from the norm (but I'm not adventurous enough to check out their gamier winter specials. Just not my style.), so I checked out their other main-menu items. I went with the Chicken and Farro dish, loving the fact that it was even marked as healthy. It was fantastic! When I first saw the take out container it came in, I expected to still be a little hungry after lunch-- I couldn't even finish it! Fresh vegetables, creamy-prepared farro, arugula, mango for a touch of sweetness, almonds for a bit of crunch and flavorful chicken. HOME RUN. read more

Awesome for breakfast. From what I hear, the guy that owns the place used to be a chef for a prestigious restaurant. I had the eggs Benedict. It was nothing short of delicious. Service was speedy and friendly. The bill was fair for the quality of food. I'd say if you can find a parking spot, go for it! read more

This place never disappoints... awesome food and always great seasonal specials!

The food is absolutely delicious and the presentation is even better. Waitresses are very friendly and it's a great atmosphere. Haven't eaten lunch here yet only breakfast but we definitely plan on it soon. Number 1 breakfast place, hopefully the lunch is too. read more

So cozy! Came for breakfast a few times during holiday season. Gingerbread coffee was yummy and the place was nicely decorated. Gluten free options available including pizza. read more

Riding through town looking for a place to eat and found a great one! Thanks to the reviews on YELP. My husband had a pulled pork sandwich and I went for the grilled tomato, avocado eggs Benedict. Did not disappoint. Everything was tasty and on point. Eggs were cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back. read more

Stella G's never disappoints. I love exploring the asparagus festival specials. Everything is fresh and very well prepared. The only downside is there is usually a wait for a table but that annoyance is quickly forgotten with tasting one of their amazing hot scones! read more

This place is a must ! Great for breakfast and lunch with amazingly delicious options. Try it, I'm sure you'll love it.

Loved the interesting and one of a kind dishes. Are there for my first time about a week ago. Tried the green eggs and ham and was impressed with the creativity and the taste. And I'm one hard woman to please. The atmosphere was nice and the wait staff was excellent as well in the midst of my crying baby. They did amazing. Will be coming back with hubby and friends in the very near future. read more

Best food and service in all of Hackettstown! Make sure you get one of Stella's homemade scones. Only note, the acoustics in the restaurant are terrible, but the food makes up for it. read more

Stella G's is definately the secret gem of Hackettstown! The food is fantastic, the service was great and the prices are reasonable! Highly recommend! read more

I'm a breakfast snob, and this place definitely exceeded my expectations. Very comfortable atmosphere and wonderful service. I LOVED that my breakfast casserole was served in a skillet, and that the many item options were all so sophisticated and well arranged on my plate. Shared three dishes with my mom, and we are definitely planning to come back. read more

Excellent place for lunch gatherings. Always buzzing with people. Food is really good and always has a seasonal twist to it, such as pumpkin french toast. Enjoy it alot. read more

I'm a regular at Stella G's and on any other given day, I would give them 10 stars. But today I was totally disappointed and let down. I brought my son there for a birthday breakfast. I told the server I wanted a silken egg. I explained how it should be, they could add cheese or ricotta to help smooth it out. I said if they can't do it, I would prefer to have one of the brunch items. Well, when the dish arrived, it was scrambled eggs on top of polenta. I told the server this was not what I wanted and was going to send it back. I asked for some marina sauce that would have aided in this dish being palatable for me and I was told they did not have any. I then asked for a cup of soup and asked them to leave the other dish in the meantime. They brought the soup and I was able to have something to eat, however, I was put in a position where I was so hungry, I ate some of the eggs only later to regret it. It was disappointing the server could not have informed me they could not make the silken egg rather than sending me a dish I should not have eaten. Furthermore, they charged me full price for their mistake and did nothing to acknowledge my son's birthday. Ruined my special birthday breakfast with my son. Very disappointed! read more

Last Sunday was the rest day of a three-day round-trip bike trip I took between Manhattan and Hackettstown. For lunch I went to Stella G's, with my bike. While I was waiting for a table outside, a waiter suggested I bring my bike in and told me he would move some chairs to make room for it. His hospitality was the beginning of a wonderful meal. My Caesar salad seemed a little shy on dressing, but my waitress cheerfully brought me extra when I asked for it. My hamburger of generous size arrived medium rare, as I had requested, and was delicious. My dessert of grilled-blueberry cheesecake (the blueberries are grilled, not the cheesecake) was the perfect finish to my meal. An extra treat was to meet and have a conversation with Bruno, the owner, who had once been an avid cyclist. I will certainly return to Stella G's the next time I'm in Hackettstown. read more

Augh, hate to write this review but hey, Yelp only works if we are all honest. Went to Stella's for the first/only time today and walked away bummed out. We drove 35 min to check out Stella's as it is highly recommended by a friend. It's Sat, so we expected a wait, but only waited 15 min. Had to sit outside though- (it's LOUD outside). We started with a cherry turnover (10 stars!!!), and scone (4 stars), and then waited forever for our food to come. No coffee/water refills during this time as the waitstaff just didn't come outside to check in on the 2 tables that are there.when the food started to come, 2 of us got our meals and the 3rd got his unbuttered toast. We noted the mint garnish on our 2 meals was blackened and found both plates with hard food- assuming it sat under warmers for awhile? But we didn't try them as we waited for the 3 person to get his food. 2 servers came outta to ask if he got his eggs! Crazy - if they looked they could see that NO he still had no food. By the time he got his food (4 stars for potato pancake) ours was not even warm. His eggs were cold upon serving to our table. They did comp my meal as it was not edible(was one if their signature dishes) I didn't ask them to. Also, we had 3 different people bring food but then no one came back- I gave feedback about the entrees when we finally got the waitress out there for the check- I had to go inside to get her even for the check. All of the service staff are super friendly, And I think judging by the scone/turnover that the food could be really good. But for us, all in all, it was a big serving failure. read more

Our family has always loved Stella G's, been going for years. But today marks the last. Since the change in ownership the last few visits weren't great. Either food had good downhill or the service is slow. Today when we actually ordered our drinks with the person who sat us but then waited over 10 minutes for our waitress. Funny thing is half the place was empty. As usual the waitress/staff just stand around chit chatting and the owner isn't keep an eye on what is happening on the floor. So sad because it used to be such a great place! read more

Worst breakfast ever. There was a piece of hair cooked in our scrambled eggs, we got zero refills, and they switched the food for three of us and didn't know which omelette was which. After getting my hard, small pancakes, we ordered 3 scones. The person running our food was confused, yet again, and tried giving us the wrong scones. We were comped nothing for our poor service and bad food. We will never go back again. read more

Been coming here for years and both the food and service are unmatched. Great atmosphere.

Stella G's is a great place to enjoy your family and have some brunch! There BLT is delicious, as well as their Egg Benedict! Service is fantastic, and they have very good and healthy food. This is my family and my favorite place to go when we go out for brunch! We even had my son's communion party there!! Stella G's is a great place for families to enjoy each other! read more

The most delicious and interesting place to eat in Hackettstown!!! I always opt for one of the specials . Prices are out of this world cheap for AMAZING QUALITY FOOD read more
