    A half order of The Exeter
    Meghan G.

    Holy pancake! Just had breakfast here for the first time with my husband. Food was delicious and service was very attentive and friendly. As someone has previously mentioned, the pancakes are generously sized. I enjoyed a half order of "The Exeter." A classic greasy spoon diner. I do agree with a previous reviewer the place could use a fresh coat of paint, but that didn't especially bother me. We'd likely come again.

    This is hands down the best food/restaurant in Exeter New Hampshire! It is a tiny cafe in the back of a corner convenience store but man this place had the best food! It is an older restaurant and it has a real long counter you can sit at in addition to a few tables in the back. Everything they serve is made fresh by one cook in the kitchen. I had the biscuits and gravy with two eggs and sausage, it was so good! Fresh homemade biscuits were so good! 10/10. My date had a Omelette, I don't remember which one but he loved it! He also got a his English muffin grilled which was delicious! I tried a bite, never had it that way before! I have been missing out! The service was great! Very friendly waitress who gave us a to go cup of coffee when we closed out our bill. This is a local favorite and an amazing small business that you must try if you're in the area! We ate at about 6 places in Exeter and this was the best by far! #SupportLocal

    We were visiting the area from the NYC area and looking for a good breakfast spot. It was a small quaint diner in the back of a convenience store. The food was very good (definitely home cooking !) for the price and the staff and service were phenomenal. The pancakes were HUGE! We went as a party of 4 on a Sunday and the wait was only 10 min but that's because there are only a few tables to accommodate 4 or more. The waitresses were so sweet! If I'm ever back in the area I would come back.

    We had the Porchetta and Cubano sandwiches, my son and I shared them and both were equally…read moredelicious for various reasons. The Porchetta heavily relied on the pork and the sear, seasoning and proper cooking of the meat. It pulled apart easily, had a nice thin crust on it and was plenty tender while also juicy. The arugula was a good balance and helped keep the cheese in place. The bread was perfectly toasted and crusty but absolutely fresh like a good hoagie should be. The Cubano had seasonings ON the panini pressed bread that were on point with the rest of the flavor profile of the sandwich. The balance between the mustard, pickles, and seasoned bread accentuated the meat instead of covering it up. Everything tasted and felt incredibly fresh and we look forward to our next stop here when we are in town.

    First time visit to this location. And will be our last. Food took 50min from when we ordered…read moreto when it came out. And my dish was lukewarm (noodle bowl) and the other dish was warm but not hot as it should be. The service was not great either. After 30+ min the server apologized for the but offered nothing for us while we waited. So the food finally arrived and the kitchen staff "thank you for your patience" in a very aggressive and kinda annoying tone. In the end I had expected some of the meal to be discounted. But no. Instead was overcharged for the Avacado that never arrived on my wife's dish. The server did take it off. Yeah saved the $3. I did give 3 stars since the food did taste good.

    This spot is in the renovated IOKA and is absolutely adorable! I love how they have an outdoor…read moreseating area that overlooks the river. It's genuinely super cute. And they have free wifi which is great for working remotely. I also would love to say the service is fantastic. I don't know the name of the girl who served us but she was so friendly. And the drinks came out super fast! We got one of the energy drinks and a mocha. The energy drink was really good (very similar to a Rush at aroma joes!) and my dad enjoyed the mocha. But here is my only complaint.... The scones are not great. I think it is nice that they have a wide variety of pastries. But the scone (blueberry white chocolate) was both super dry and overly sweet. I couldn't even finish it. It was honestly reminiscent of crumbl cookies. So if you like sickeningly sweet scones (like the cookies at Crumbl!), then this would be great. I've had scones like this where it is balanced, but I fear this was too much and I probably won't get a scone here the next time I come. Otherwise, this spot is really cute and I highly recommend checking it out!
