We veered off our course to find breakfast, and this place was worth it. The raisin toast was especially good with our eggs and home fries. The local American Legion/VFW has loaned framed photo displays of local vets and tear-jerking news clippings about a local Korean War POW who was repatriated in 1953 after 32 months as a prisoner. The restaurant was cozy with 1970s music playing. We were the only customers, so there was no after-holiday rush. read more

Wow! Is all I can say. Breakfast is really something that is hard to mess up. If you follow my reviews I very seldom Post anything negative. Staff, what there was of staff, seemed tired and over worked. The food. I did not finish. I ordered pancakes. They were extremely dry, you could taste in mixed dry ingredient. Bacon was the highlight. We are always looking for a new spot for breakfast and this was not a good start on a Sunday read more

Their Mediterranean panini is amazing! Whatever dipping sauce they use for their mozzarella sticks is also delicious! My husband kept using it to dip his sandwich. Super cute place read more

The maple ribs were very good and the portion size was generous. The side salad was large and delicious, and the truffle fries were tasty. A good value! read more

The food was very good but the ladies handicap restroom was terrible... dark and dirty. I hope the kitchen was cleaner. My son said the men's room was dirty too read more

Nice establishment beautiful. Waitress was awesome made sure we had a good experience the food was good tomato basil bisque-soup was out of this world. read more

I've tried to eat here several times, hoping for improvement with the food. Sadly it continues to disappoint. From their breakfast to dinner. Tonight we ordered breakfast and the sausages dried out, bacon even seemed old. I ordered the beef tips which were good but my sides were cold. The wait staff are very friendly but overworked which leads to long wait times when ordering and receiving you order. Chef Ramsey says when the menus are all over the place with too many choices it is destined to have poor quality, I think Chef Ramsay needs to come give Chef Deivid a lesson on how to properly cook food. read more

Sugar Shack Cafe - Take a close look at the bacon and sausage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cornish, Maine

Great food. Staff is so friendly and accommodating.The chicken wings are absolutely amazing!! Highly recommend.

Went to Sugar Shack Cafe in early October. Probably will never go back. The special that day was beef tips. I ordered them a few minutes later the waitress came back and said they were out of them. So I ordered Mac and cheese. No flavor. My husband ordered a stir fry which was not good. As we were waiting for our food I heard someone order the beef tips..and that actually had them. I went to the ladies room and there was something spilled all over the hall floor and the toilet in the ladies room was over flowing. read more

Food was low quality and extremely expensive. Ate breakfast on Father's Day. The bill for 3 people was close to $50.00 Home fries and sausage links were deep fried and eggs were barely warm. Breakfast was nothing special. We were shocked and disappointed. Waiter was pleasant and attentive. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. We were warned about the poor quality and expensive food and decided to take a chance. We made a bad choice. I don't recommend this cafe to anyone read more

I came here when I was up to visit some friends. We waited 15 minutes before getting a table and then another 15 minutes just for the waitress to make our drink order. I had ordered an old fashion and the bartended had to ask me how to make it! I have never experienced a bartended at a bar that doesn't know how to make a simply drink. The kicker? It was $13! At this point I was already over this place, but then we're told it's going to be over an hour to get our food because they were so backed up. We decided to get the check and go somewhere else. This place is clearly understaffed and needs some help. I would recommend staying clear of this place for the time being. read more

Have been here twice now. The first time was fine but today was unfortunately very bad. Waiter was incredibly slow. Didn't offer us more coffee or check on our drinks at all. Food took a long time and then brought out cold. Cold eggs, cold suasage and gravy, cold fries, cold pancakes. Pancakes were incredibly dry and when asking for extra syrup it was $2.00 per portion. Cook staff "forgot" to put chocolate chips in chocolate chip pancake and threw some on top, bacon cheeseburger had no bacon. The tables are very sticky from whatever they finished it with (not dirty just sticky). Very unfortunate, will not be back. read more

cutest place. sweetest staff. food was so good. teri was amazing and i really had a good experience with friends!

Glad this restaurant has hung on through a tough year and a half; kudos for keeping at it. Convenient to our short-term stay in town, we ID'd our dinner spot through Yelp and had high hopes. Too high, it turns out. Can I start with a pet peeve? If your kitchen is out of something, don't let anyone order it, alright? Stock will run out. I get that. But sending a server out to share that news 10+ minutes after accepting the order is a lost star before the meal even happens. And this meal, while stellar in part, did not shine. The bright spots on the plates were the spicy shrimp (Caesar salad), the tangy steak (tacos), and a zippy jalapeño aioli (tacos). They each delivered admirably as top-billed players in their dishes. Supporting parts underperformed: Was that really iceberg lettuce, not romaine, under the shrimp? What was it coated with? Caesar? Really? And why did the fries feel only slightly warm to the touch when they reached the table? Props for plenty-big drink jars. Pity that tacos aren't offered with a corn tortilla option. The potential is there. Too bad we missed a top-notch night. read more

Fantastic atmosphere but more important the service was exceptional. Our server was Terri!

Food was amazing, service was great, place looks a little run down but if you don't mind that, it's a great place with good prices and friendly staff. read more

Stay away. 1st time here. Of the "specials" they had advertised went we wanted "that item" it was out. The waiter came back to the table 3 more times and told us "specific" sides were out. Very slow service for lunch, only 2 other tables with people there. Finally decided to get a soup as a side, came out with the meal. Don't plan on a good meal here. Had the fish and chips, tasteless. Chicken risotto was ok could use more seasoning, steak tips were dry, seems like they were reheated. read more

Well, I don't like giving bad reviews!! Waitress was sweet. We spent $39 tip included for breakfast. I ordered two eggs over easy, bacon and wheat toast. My husband ordered meat lovers omelette with cheese. It took over 23 minutes to get this. One of my eggs was over hard and both are meals were look warm. Will not be back read more

This has been a gem since it's opening, the prior business was blah, but this one has been a great staple of the community that I've enjoyed watching flourish; they actively catered free meals to the elderly during the peak of the pandemic, and organized community involvement in delivering meals. Set off the main road, this quaint rural restaurant has a menu consisting of mostly Americanized items, most notably (in my humble opinion) their breakfast. It's not so much that it's overly done, but that it's done right! Highly suggest their French toast! Their deserts are great as well. Sugar Shack Cafe is by far the best place to stop for food in Brownfield. read more

Sub PAR Quality & expensive! $33. Before tax/tip-for 2 Omelette tasted like prepared ahead, texture rubbery-randomly threw in fillings. Definitely not made to order. Monte Cristo breakfast sandwich-idea good but flavorless.Coffees were poor, moderate service, best were the home fries. Server was not attentive to our concerns when voiced. We frequently go out to breakfast but will not return here... read more

Stay away- service was really bad - prices were high for what you got - and the food was not that good either - sorry for $200 we would have been better off at Subway and getting 20 subs read more

Had a very good omelette with home fries. Service was good, would recommend this for breakfast.

I have read a lot of the reviews, and I would say they improved. I had eggs overeasy, cooked right. Hash was great. Can't say enough about the wonderful Bloody Mary. Our server was responsive and quick. My wife liked her biscuits and gravy less, but wants to come back and try something else. Overall happy and looking forward to next time read more

The chicken stir fry on jasmine rice was delicious and super flavorful and generous portion size. The ice coffee was big too! Perfect after going hiking spot! read more

Oh boy, this was the worst. I'm giving it 2 stars because my husband didn't absolutely hate his breakfast. We've lived in town for 3 days and this was our first breakfast. Ugh. Looking forward to trying everywhere else. It started with a very long wait at the door, then an endless wait at the table, then finally someone came over and in the meekeest voice I ever heard, Said are you guys ready? So we placed our entire drink and food order right then, then proceeded to wait the longest amount of time I've ever waited for breakfast. My husband ordered eggs Benedict, with the eggs poached medium, The response was they might be out of poached eggs. This confounded me a bit, the poached eggs are made ahead of time and can't be made to order? Weird. But okay. I ordered a tomato and onion omelette with pepper jack cheese. I'm not exactly sure what kind of cheese I received, but I received and onion omelet. The home fries We're okay, but they had these random big pieces of pepper and onion in them which was unexpected. We wanted to order a sandwich to go but he dropped off the food and ran away so fast we weren't able to say anything. And then I went searching and searching and searching for him two or three times and I had a hard time finding him, so we never placed our order to go. The omelette like the eggs and cheese were disgusting, tasted like it wasaa cooked on a griddle that hadn't been cleaned in a while. They didn't look dirty like it was on a dirty griddle, it just had a weird taste so I'm assuming. Needless to say, the waiter never came back, we finished what we were working to eat, took another look at the menu that the waiter never took after he took our order, added it up ourselves, left the money, a much bigger tip than deserved because we didn't feel like waiting another 20 minutes for the bill and then change. read more

Do not judge THIS place by its exterior!!! IT IS AMAZING! LIKE SO DELICIOUS. found it thru a yelp search as we were heading out on a bike ride for the afternoon. My husband was a little cautious as we pulled up as the outside look like a ice cream place, but I assured him the reviews where really high. Boy he was wrong - the outside to the inside is like night and day. A hidden gem~the Chef and I say Chef because the plates are not your average Sysco pre-Thought out meals. A Chef truly as we found out has studied in multiple geners before making the decision to put down roots in Brownfield to raise a family. ( such a good story).The maple smoked Ribs were perfect with a side of mash potatoes that could have come straight from grandma's house on Thankgiving. My Taco de Carnitas with truffle fries was a true sensation in every bite with the perfect blend of spice hot and sweet.This is a place that if it was in a different location would be A SUPER long wait for a table or call far ahead for rez. But it's in a true country side town Brownfield the perfect place to take a beautiful ride ON RT 5 OR 160 too. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED! We will most certainly be back. Indoor and out door seating. As well as take out. 5 STARS 100% read more

Excellent food nice people a little pricey for the area but I'm glad they are there. The portions are enormous and the food is tasty.

We love discovering wonderful surprises when we go through small towns. The Sugar Shack was an awesome discovery on a nice summer day. My husband was treated to the best breakfast breads and friendly staff! I enjoyed the outer seating and the diversity of the clientele. Would definitely come back for a longer pit stop next time! read more

This was well worth the hour ride for us. The food was awesome. I ordered an ice coffee then realized they had bloody Mary's. Both were excellent. The ice coffee came in a 30oz. Mason jar! I had the eggs Benedict. Cooked to perfection. The home fries were crunchy and had some bell peppers in with them. Our waitress was lovely. So happy to be working. They serve breakfast, lunch & dinner. read more

Our server never checked in on us when there was only 3 tables, took an 1:20 for our food, food came out cold, didn't even allow us to order a drink when food was delivered, overall disappointment, and over priced read more

Delicious fresh food at very fair prices, good options, friendly and prompt service. Everything you want in a local breakfast spot!!

Discriminatory staff! Witnessed discrimination as everyone around was waited on and served, yet the African American man sitting near us received his ginger-ale and then absolutely no food or interaction by the waitress after that. One woman addressed the waitress and inquired why that man hadn't received his food, and the waitress completely ignored the question. The man finally just asked what he owed for his ginger-ale and the waitress again ignored him. He looked at the menu and left as much for a tip as the ginger-ale cost, generous for such horrible treatment. The food was just ok. Root vegetables were advertised for NYE, but were not available. They were also out of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris at 5pm. Won't go back and do not recommend. read more
