My wife and I were in the neighborhood and decided to have breakfast here during the week. Nice breakfast date! We had a wonderful breakfast, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the table service was attentive. The portions are huge and delicious! Awesome neighborhood gem.
It was Saturday morning and I had to go to the Electrify America station to charge the car. After I got the car plugged in, there was a little voice that said to go over to the Country Inn Café you just passed and treat yourself to a nice breakfast. Now usually when I have gone out for breakfast it has been with the family. So was this little voice an angel encouraging me to go and relax and rejuvenate with some "me time". Or was it a little devil that wanted me to go and take pictures of what I ate to show them what daddy did without them. I think it was a little bit of both. What I really liked was that they had this very nice open outdoor dining area. My waitress was very nice and friendly. She explained to me that this used to be one of Holder's Country Inn restaurants but it was under different ownership but had the same menu. So I ordered my usual eggs over easy, bacon, sliced tomatoes and Swedish pancakes (with that wonderful lingonberry butter). And yep, it was just as awesome as the other Country Inn restaurants. The star of the show was the Swedish pancakes. I could just eat these until I pass out. Overall both the food and service were fantastic. I highly recommend it.
Good food with pleasant and quick service. They have a good veggie scramble and fruit waffle. Kids love the dollar sized pancakes and scrambled eggs. We get hash browns instead of bacon. Today we tried the place for lunch and I got the delicious veggie burger and the strawberry milkshake
Typical American food. Good selection for breakfast. Servers were very friendly and cheerful when we were there for Sunday breakfast.
