Hamlet Cafe

Do yourself a favor and take a few extra minutes to turn off 90 and visit this terrific local small town breakfast spot just five miles away. Great food and the nicest people working here. So friendly! Plus, it couldn’t hurt to avoid a truck stop for once, could it? Tell em the guy from Jersey sent you!

This place is as small town America as it gets. The Decore is that of an actual small town Resturant, not the fax stuff you find in the suburbs. The way I discern is that there are things of varing age. While the Resturant was only here for 5 years in it current iteration the building is much older. The Decore is very attractive.
There is a classic counter for singles, 8 table tops and 8 booths. This local place is family owned and it is clear it is a mother and daughters working. There is the warmth of a family place where people are taking pride in what they are doing.
The good:
The staff was very welcoming and engaging. They brightly started small talk and were very prompt on coffee refills. The coffee was good.
Even though there were only two staff they were clearly working hard to take care of the breakfast rush.
I ordered the country platter which was a fresh made biscuit hash browns 2 eggs and sausage smothered in really eggcellent gravy. The eggs were light and fluffy. The hash browns were shoe string and cooked well.
Everything was made to order. It took ten minutes or so to get out, but to me that is way better that prepped line food.
The bad
The bathrooms only heated by a baseboard heater so a little chilly.
The sausage links were meh.

Stopped in during a cross country road trip — well worth it!
Fantastic biscuits and gravy, great omelet, and hot coffee! Service with a smile to go with it all =)

No joke, this is the best place for breakfast in the area. I have gone here 5 times, tried 5 different things and all the dishes were great.
Easy on the pocket and plenty of food. Bring your wallet with cash in it, because the do not accept CC. We left before we tried this place because of this, but it is worth running to the ATM.

Rode by on my motorcycle. Great breakfast. Had the Biscuits and Gravy. Comes with Eggs. Good coffee as well. Large portions.
Total cost was $ 7.45 with tax. I was full until dinner.
They dont take credit cards.

Just a small town breakfast only place. I have driven past this place for the last 5yrs and said «one of these days». Well one of these days finally got here and I don’t know what took me so long. We stopped in after coming home from a trip and wanted something to eat and had breakfast. I need to go back and try many more items on the menu. Today was the ½ order of biscuits and gravy which was more than enough for 1 person.
Don’t shy away from the small paces, they are a diamond in the rough.
