Stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday and the food was pretty lack luster. The waitress who served us was very lovely and had great energy. But we found it interesting that the bill was given to us as were given our food. We get that it was busy but the hash browns were not cooked and the meal lacked salt and just felt like it was cooked in a hurry. We left pretty disappointed, expecting a lot more from this very local spot with a lot of years behind it. read more

The Stables Restaurant - Irish eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hadley, Massachusetts

The overall feel was definitely that old-fashioned breakfast place where you can get quickly acquainted with the staff. Everyone was so friendly and the food was SO fast. Our server knew her stuff, letting me know gluten free options. They have toast and their home fries/hash browns are GF too. The menu doesn't mark anything as GF and not, so make sure to check with your server. Beware of the up charge with the toast and changing your side to hashbrowns. Overall, the food was good, just extra greasy crispy hash. Pancakes were hugeeee and delicious. The portions are amazing and perfect for a big family breakfast. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on my way to the Mohawk Trail This popular breakfast place is located on the highway with plenty of parking We walked in and immediately sat at the breakfast counter. Jenn was our server There was a small room to the right with tables/booths and a larger dining room to the left . I was behaving this day and had a homemade corned beef, hash, and American cheese omelette only skipped the toast and home fries today. It was very good. My guest ordered the breakfast combo included eggs, bacon, or sausage home fries, toast, and pancakes or French toast. It look like a lot of food. They said they enjoy their meal as well. something for everyone on the menu You definitely want to give this place a try. You will be happy read more

My son and I stopped by The Stables in Hadley for an early breakfast while in the area, drawn in by solid Yelp reviews. This small country breakfast and lunch spot near the Five College area was mildly busy for a Thursday morning, but we snagged seats at the diner counter right away. Barely settled in, and we had steaming mugs of coffee in hand within a minute--talk about quick service! I ordered a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel with ham and pepper jack cheese, and it was absolutely outstanding. Toasted just right, with melty cheese and flavorful ham--couldn't ask for better. My son enjoyed his meal too, and the friendly staff kept things running smoothly with great service. The cozy, local vibe is perfect, though I can see why it gets crowded with limited seating. Some negative Yelp reviews mention wait times, but with food and service this good, it's to be expected. Plan ahead instead of criticizing a local gem. 4 stars, and we'd definitely come back next time we're in Hadley! read more

Western omelette was good. The potatoes were ok...wanted hash browns. Chocolate cream cheese muffin was very good...so glad the server asked if I wanted it griddled. My wife got the Irish Benedict...I'm getting this next time. The corned beef hash was so so so good. Staff were super nice. Parking is plentiful but no spots are marked so wasn't quite sure where I could park. Look for the cow. Can't wait to come back. read more

Good food, generally well served. Pleasant space, not too loud or packed too tightly.

The food quality varies. It depends on what was ordered. I personally can attest to delicious waffles, loaded with bananas and fruit. If you like syrup. Make sure to ask for the real maple syrup. Their omelets are big, I usually save 1/2 for the next day. Their homemade bread is delicious too. The waitresses are friendly and efficient. read more

Great food and great service! My daughter and I came here for her tennis tournament and we found this place based on Yelp reviews. It is traditional and has a countryside style feeling and scenery and has amazing food. read more

Country skillet with cheddar cheese- incredible, flavorful, possible one of the best things I have tasted from a diner-like place. I'm ready to drive back from New York City to have that. Kielbasa- very good Steak and hungry man meal- were okay. All were take out. Staff was pleasant when I came to pick up, dealt with me quickly with good attitudes. read more

on a road trip and found this place, lots of cars in the parking lot so we'd figure we'd give it a try. I had the cornbread french toast, with side orders of bacon and sausage. A delight. My wife had eggs and toast with hash browns. It all came as expected. A great breakfast place. read more

Everything you want in a breakfast diner! Staff so friendly, charming ambiance, and food so satisfying!

When all the reviews warn you about weekend wait times, you show up early and prepare to wait. It was about 45 minutes for three people Sunday morning at 0945. The service was friendly and attentive, despite having 3 of 5 scheduled staff show up to work. There's nothing really to the interior to speak of, some booths and tables. I wouldn't think this place is good for a large group. Not a fan of the food, however. The home fries were all quite large chunks of potato. The corned beef hash looked like someone had thrown minced potatoes into ground beef jerky, peppered it heavily and warmed it slightly. A lot of flour in the pancake mix, so you got that acrid taste and the moisture sucked from your face. The scrambled eggs were black, the kind of black from heating your butter on a too hot, not clean surface. If this is the best in the Amherst area, I'm sad for the Amherst area. read more

Stables is a diner-like restaurant. The food is pretty good, I had a Belgian waffle, and my brother got French toast. I was pretty good, I just wished the waffle had more flavor, same thing goes for the French toast. They offer at every table a holder for tea packs. They had good choices including Apple cinnamon tea. The staff here is very nice, and get your order right. Parking here on the weekend in the morning is a pretty hard task, with almost every spot filled. The ambience inside is just like their slogan, "Country Cooking". They play old country music and gives off a diner feel with the bar area with seating in spinning chairs. Overall a very good experience, recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

This is a very cute breakfast spot, tucked behind a huge parking lot! The waitresses were very nice and relaxed - our table was on the short side of the counter, and she took our order from over the counter wall divider. (Work smarter!) Even as they got close to closing, they didn't force us out (although we did get out the door before they closed). The best part was the food though - amazing hollandaise over corned beef and corn bread! I cannot recommend this enough, it was a smooth sauce and the flavors went well together. read more

The food and service impeccable. The ambiance like a Hollywood Set of a good time joint.

Looking for a quick bite? Check Friendly to your wallet? Check Parking? Check Attentive staff? Check Good value, fast and quick. Entire restaurant looks full of locals, that is how you know you got a good dive restaurant. Food is fresh because of the turnover with so many customers. Many versions of breakfast classics. I came for breakfast, but they also have a lunch menu. My plate of three eggs, toast, coffee, hash, sausage and bacon was just under ten dollars. An excellent value. read more

I started off this morning looking to try a new breakfast spot. After seeing the reviews I thought to myself it sounds like a no brainer. Unfortunately the restaurant did not live up to all the hype. The food was well to be blunt very average and nothing special at all. The worst part of the experience however which is the reason for the one star is the staff. The staff are disorganised, rude, and couldn't care less about customers. Not to mention all the confusion due to waitresses not having assigned tables. The staff is what really did it for me. I will not be back.. ever read more

An excellent restaurant, sortakinda halfway between restaurant and diner. I came in not long before closing -- when a lot of places are surly about serving you -- and had fine and cheerful service, perfectly good food, and at a price that's not unreasonable for the area. About the only fly in the ointment is that I rely on public transportation, and had to dash across Route 9 (which is neither a picnic, nor very sensible, nor at all safe), there's no sidewalk, and the parking lot is a pockmarked dirt sea of mud. Still, the Stables is worth the trouble, especially when the alternatives on the Route 9 strip are overpriced pretentious outfits, soulless chains, and fast food joints. read more

Great food, service is outstanding! We've eaten here so many times and have never had a bad meal. You can't go wrong whatever you order!

You can miss it easy, and it will be too bad for you. If you try on a weekend, wake up early- it will be worth it. One good way to spot it, while be the busy parking lot. I managed to go by (the second time) on a Thursday AM. Quite possibly the best Hash I've had over a 50yr period of eating. When you make really exceptional corned beef, you make exceptional hash. "Cold Coffee/Shaky Service/Lousy Food" Is their motto, maybe that keeps the line down, and it's most certainly a joke. In a world where everyone is "short staffed" it's as easy to open a can of Mary K Kitchen hash as it is to open a can of dog food- they put in the work. Perfect poached eggs (which inexplicably seems hard for the modern breakfast cook) perfect Toast (seriously my toast was warm and buttered 100%- when was the last time you could say that at a restaurant?). Wait in line if you have to, sneak in during the week if you can schedule it- But don't miss it for a fantastic meal. read more

Stopped for an early lunch. Some of us enjoyed breakfast and some of us enjoyed lunch. Our food was delicious and very hot. Our service was friendly and fast. The coffee was warm and delicious. The kids loved the farms ambiance. They have a mural that quotes bad reviews and the kids got a kick out of it. read more

Delicious quality breakfast. Came to the are for a girls weekend trip and ended up coming to breakfast here each morning! Everything we tried was top notch and prices were so affordable for the quality and portions. Service was extremely friendly and Rozlyn took care of us both times we were there. She's a rockstar! Thanks for the great service. They truly take covid safety precautions seriously!They have plexi glass separating each booth/table and you can definitely see the sanitizing after each customer. I really appreciated this! Their house made corned beef hash lives up to the hype of all previous reviews.. truly one of the best I've had! Also their hollandaise sauce is so good! Coffee, pancakes, home fries, everything was great! Don't think you can go wrong with anything you order here. Definitely a must-go spot if you're in the area. read more

With all the reviews we finally decided to try it. To put it bluntly, if you want a typical "greasy spoon" breakfast, this will fit the bill. If you want a breakfast more like Esselon then keep driving. Ordered eggs, bacon, hash browns, French toast, and pancakes. Eggs were cooked OK but had too much grease. Bacon was way too greasy and inedible. Hash browns were crisp. Pancakes didn't have much flavor. French toast was ok. Service was good and waitstaff friendly. Restaurant inside was good--typical breakfast diner feel. Unfortunately we won't be back but ppl love it so they're doing something right for the masses. read more

They said it was going to be a 20 minute wait, it ended up being about an hour until we sat down. Don't mind waiting but would rather be quoted realistic timing. We were a party of 4 and 3/4 meals were on par for a breakfast place. The fourth meal was the irish benedict with hollandaise on the side. It arrived with hollandaise on it and the eggs weren't properly poached. We would have sent it back but the waitress didn't come back until the other three people in our party had finished their meals. read more

This is where the locals go for breakfast. Good food, good service, reasonable prices. You have to know where it is and what to look for or else you'll drive right by. The Sunday morning we were there it was busy and it was even busier when we left. There are quite a few choices on the menu so there's probably something for everyone. We were tourists just passing through but I'd go again if we lived nearby. read more

We wanted to visit the Eric Carle museum....which opened at 12. Tried to find a breakfast place in the area...top 2 places had 1.5 hr waits for breakfast. The stables sat us quickly at the counter...tables were 15 min wait. Food took a while...waitress brought our check before we paid...was pretty funny. They kept the coffee coming and servers all helped one another. Breakfast arrived and was solid. Was a good stop. read more

Great breakfast spot! Delicious sausage gravy & biscuits. Great friendly quick service, reasonable prices, easy stop if you are visiting colleges as we were. I would return again in a heartbeat.

Always enjoy coming here! Fun, good service, good food, large portions (enough to take some home).

Wanted to go for breakfast and found this place. Looks deceiving from the outside but was nicely surprised inside. Very country and cozy. Delicious corned beef hash and eggs. Home Fries were a little too seasoned for my taste, my daughters pancakes were a little burned in the bottom but not too bad. Waitress was attentive as were other staff members read more
