Three of us had dinner here last Thursday and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be. We arrived early as we had a 19:30 curtain call at the Weston Theater, and had delicious dinners garnished with delightful spices and garden fresh vegetables. We look forward to a return trip very soon.

Passable diner to start a Tuesday morning. Cute location in an old vintage diner car with a disconnected juke box and comfortable booths. Breakfast was straightforward and quick. I had a Belgian waffle garnished with walnuts and bananas. The waffle special entitled me to two eggs, any style, and unfortunately my scrambled ones were just one small step above awful. Mostly dry as requested, but also gooey from being mixed in oil, and bland from perhaps being scooped out of a vat of pre-mixed eggs combined with too much milk. They might have been more consumable if the server had given me hot sauce or something else to add flavor. My son had a stack of French toast with two poached eggs, properly cooked, opting for the $1.50 side of Vermont-made syrup. Not a big deal, but something about having to pay a supplement in Vermont for syrup from Vermont doesnât seem right. Itâs too bad they donât include in the price and use as a selling feature. Both plates had enormous slabs of butter on the side which the chef probably dispensed using a rubber spatula. Sorry, but this was a turnoff. What happened to individually wrapped butter?Pricing was deceptive. We politely declined the obligatory offer for coffee and juice as soon as we sat down in order to peruse the menu first, but we never found the prices written anyway. I was charged $8.95 for my Belgian waffle & eggs combo. The waitress first said there would be no problem having the bananas and walnuts waffle but then revealed that the normally included sausages would be extra. Strange, since a la carte, the Belgian waffle with bananas and walnuts cost $6.50, and a side of two eggs cost $1.75. Water was served on request after we finished our meals.

Letâs start with the fact they call this place a taproom. There isnât anything except a small corner turned into a bar. We spent over a $100 for sheer mediocrity. I ordered salad bar and beef barley soup. $18. Salad bar was the equivalent of Golden Corral. A lightly poured glass of Chardonnay was another $10. My husband ordered wings for an appetizerâ- sorry no wings on a Friday night He the ordered scallops. To be specific 6 small scallops with white rice, the same carrots that are in the salad bar and plain steamed green beans. Nothing nothing to discuss other than the $34 price tag. That and a beer got us a tab for over $100 including tip for again a very mediocre waitress who was unsure of herself and forgot to put in his clam chowder. HUGE Huge disappointment. Over priced and not worth a penny. I donât care how many wine awards you may win. You have been warned. Hi Phoebelove. We really take it to heart when we get a "bad" review, because it is an opportunity for us to learn and grow and to improve our process. We agree that the scallop dish needed some work, so we took it off the special menu weeks ago. I could go on about how the rest of your review makes no sense to me, but everyone is entitled to their opinion and I am sorry that your experience did not hit a homerun for you. Do give us another try, because this is not the norm. ~ Nancy

We went here looking for simple comfort food. The bar and restaurant are separate. Our server was not very personable. He seemed to be a hard worker, but was not a good waiter. I ordered the mac and cheese with ham. I asked if the ham was sweet or salty. His answer was "neither". Really??? Well, guess what? He was right!. It appeared to be sliced ham thrown in with mac, cream, cheese, stirred up and melted. It was mostly runny and not very flavorful. My other half got the cheesesteak and said it was okay. He never asked if we needed drink refills, condiments, anything. It's just as well, as we really didn't like the vibe of this area and won't be returning.

I recently stayed on the property and Nippers was a nice surprise. I enjoyed a great filet with mashed potatoes and a side caesar. Breakfast the next morning was also very good. The Manchester area is full of expensive restaurants and pricey accommodations. I've been fortunate enough to have traveled extensively, many times on an unlimited expense account. Unfortunately, there are times you can leave without a sense it was worth the price. Not in this case.As others have said, it's very good food at fair prices and well worth visiting for a meal. I'll stop by again.

The Maple Leaf Diner is a little hole in the wall diner that I stopped at for lunch. Cheeseburger and disco fries were very good and reasonably priced. This place is as local as you can get so if eating at a little hole in the wall place isn't your thing, then you might want to skip it. This is my favorite kind of place though ... not a chain restaurant but something more authentic to the area. Very small inside but I sat at the counter and it was a fun experience.

We loved the locally produced food with an creative twist to flavours and textures Not pretentious just great food, cooked well and presented well We tried a variety of starters think the tempura beans won everyoneâs bite I loved the freshly locally produced tomatoes Heirloom packed with flavour The beautifully cooked pork with a variety of locally grown vegetables was delicious And then the ICE CREAM - ooh my goodness do try the GREEN CARDAMON (I love Cardamon!) snd this was so good The cucumber cayenne combination worked really well subtle but then there was a kick at the end and which faded with the more you consumed! We had the RISE CREMANT - light but good fizz and flavour and complemented the food we had well Definitely recommend - this is really good quality good freshly prepared served to a very good quality and standard

We stopped in hope of finding a Vermont keychain as we collect them. We pulled over to use the restroom and purchase a key chain. Unfortunately they do not carry key chains. As we loaded back up in the vehicle, the owner came outside and said âthanks for using my restroom and not buying anythingâ. I was surprised by this behavior and would never stop or recommend stopping here.

Great old fashioned country store / restaurant combo in a little village about 4 miles from Bromley Mountain with delicious modern food.We stopped in for lunch. Good menu and great food and service. We shared an excellent freshly prepared, well topped pizza - one of the best we've had in a long time. Also saw the sandwiches and burgers coming out and all looked amazing. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.
