Countrie Eatery

Great food and atmosphere. We had the fried chicken and turkey plate and they were both fantastic. Not the place if you’re on a diet though…

My wife and I are visiting from out of state and decided to give this place a try for breakfast. I had the Eggs Benedict and she ordered an omelette, and both were excellent! The home fries were great, too. Service was good and the prices were very reasonable. We would definitely eat there again!

You short change a friend $ 20 arguing with her and don’t count the drawer right then and there? Then you don’t call back with the result. BAD BAD BAD business! I wonder how many of the elderly who regular here that are taken advantage of???
Also in 2012, when I ate here the chipped beef was awful. It tasted like fake butter. The seating is very tight and awkward unless you like practically sitting with people you don’t know.
I recommend finding a better establishment to eat at. One that values their customers.

This quiet little book is awesome! The Monte Cristo was par but the experience is in the ambiance. It’s southern diner meets kitchen table. I especially love that the music they play doesn’t have lyrics. For some reason, it adds to the intimacy of the place– it sounds more like a soundtrack than loud background noise.

Stopped by during Firefly music festival
As you could have guessed, the place was overrun with festival-​goers who wanted a meal that was slightly more nutritious than the grease-​pit fare available at the festival. Being a small-​town diner, Countrie Eatery was not well equipped to handle the demand. However, even with that in consideration, they did not have a good system for getting everyone seated and the front waiting area was a mess. The food was just small-​town diner ok.
The one redeeming feature about this place is the beautiful body of water you can sit and stare at behind the restaurant

The best place for breakfast/​brunch any day of the week. Cheap combo meals for $ 8 – 11 with more food than you can eat. Eggs all fresh and done to order. Bacon, sausage and even scrapple come out crispy but not burnt. Waffles, pancakes, and french toast are all delicious (and they don’t RUIN the french toast with cinnamon either — bonus). Cannot believe we even considered eating at IHOP before leaving the ridiculous line to come here. Although there still IS a line and the parking lot always looks jam packed, they cycle people in and out really quickly and even on Saturdays and Sundays at peak hours I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes for a table. Not bad to wait out side and look at the lake and ducks roosting nearby either. Very cute location and on the money for laid back comfort food.

Food was great my waitress Shannon was very attentive. Have to stop in if you’re in the area.

I ordered 2 Eggs over medium, home fries, bacon and an English Muffin. The eggs were way to gooey, no crispy edges and even the white part was still gooey. Not the way I prefer my eggs. Maybe I just have a different understanding on what «over medium» means lol. The home fries were soggy even though we ordered them extra crispy, it was almost like they already made them early and then just reheated them in the microwave. Same with the bacon. I was prepared to wait 20 – 25 min to get my food and to know that it was fresh but instead we didn’t even have to wait 5 mins for it to come out, no wonder. The only thing that was really good was the Farmhouse Omelet. Orange juice and English muffin were also decent.
Very nice location, view over the lake was beautiful and there were tons of ducks in the parking lot which was pretty cool. Overall, not the best breakfast place but maybe I just ordered the wrong food for my taste.

A great small home-​town /​mom and pop kinda place. The service was amazing and food was equally good.
When we sat down we realized that seats all the way toward the back overlook the water so try to score seats there– it’s a pretty good view!

Cruisin’ on a Saturday morning for a hearty breakfast. Found it! This place is right on a lake with a lovely view. Breakfast was great. Eggs fried over easy, 2 delicious peppery sausage links and home fries. With choice of toast or fresh baked muffin. Want to try muffin next time. I’m a fan!

My fiancé and I came in midday on a Sunday. It wasn’t exceptionally busy, as there were some tables that were open, and we were seated right away. It took almost a half hour for our server to come by to bring us water, after many other servers came by assuring us that she would be over in just a minute.
Our food took just as long to come out; I ordered a turkey club and my fiancé ordered eggs and both of our meals were forgettable, and in my opinion, overpriced for what we got.
I would not return or recommend this place.

The steak & egg breakfast was described as including a New York Strip. The cut was super thin. I asked for medium, but received well done. I was unable to enjoy the breakfast. My partner’s french toast breakfast was fine. Prices were low enough we also ordered a crabcake dinner to sample/​share. It was fine.

Countrie Eatery is a great place for breakfast with nice views of the lake from part of the dining room but the rest of the menu isn’t anything special and the service is just okay.
If you’re looking for a breakfast place in Dover, this place is one of the best. Everything I’ve ordered has been great but I think it’s pretty hard to screw up breakfast (even though it happens elsewhere). I love that they use sliced red potatoes for their home fries. Their breakfast menu is just one page long, a feature I love, but has everything you’d expect from a place serving breakfast.
Where they fall flat is the lunch and dinner menu and the service which has never been great. There’s nothing wrong with anything on the non-​breakfast menus but everyone I’ve ever gone with agrees that they’ve never been impressed. The service is okay but it’s not always the friendliest. Not to say that the server has ever been mean or dismissive, they just don’t seem happy to be there which brings a damper on the experience.
Go for breakfast and ask to sit in the dining room by the lake, this will give you the best experience at the Countrie Eatery

Upon entering I was a bit skeptical but I’m glad I stayed. This was the best scrapple I have ever eaten. It could have been cooked a bit more crisp but the flavor was excellent. Great coffee and the service was good. I would come back if I’m ever in the area again.

A great family place to go and have breakfast or brunch! The service is very friendly and the food is nice. The portions are perfect and the quality does not lack even though the food comes out fast.
I would definitely return and recommend that anyone wanting get a nice quiet breakfast in Dover stop at the Country Eatery.

Nice family style restaurant. A gem if you ask me (or read this review).
First visit was at night. Our order included:
Liver…great (she’s been back numerous times for this dish)
Grilled seafood platter… very very good
Fried seafood platter… not so good.
Service…home-style ecceptional!
Visit during the day… magical…it was raining and sitting in the warm, cosy room with family chatter around us while looking out onto the wonderful lake view was a *get back to bed* moment for me, it was so cosy and peaceful.
Our brunch were large muy yummy portions!
Service once again was exceptional. In fact except for our hotel stay, we’ve been very pleased with the service received while we visited the community of Dover.
We’ll be back. Family lives here anyway so… lol
