The converted church space gives it real character, and the atmosphere is warm without trying too hard. The staff were friendly, quick to engage, and kept things moving even with a steady crowd. Bonus: live local musicians doing a pick up session! Food and coffee both landed well. Vegetarian friendly, fresh, balanced, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of spot where you can settle in for a quiet hour, meet someone for a casual lunch, or for C&O cyclists, refuel with a solid drink and good service.

What a lovely spot! I follow someone on Instagram who lives in Brunswick and has posted about this…read morespot before, so when I saw a sign for Brunswick while driving to Harpers Ferry, I KNEW I had to see Beans in the Belfry for myself... and I'm so glad I did. This spot is located in the "city center" of Brunswick. Parking is plentiful, and I got a spot a block up. I had a schedule to keep, so I just got an iced coffee to go, but I loved taking in the decor of the place. It was a sunny day and the light was streaming through the stained glass windows. There is a food menu and some baked goods, though I didn't get anything to eat. There are also cute little stickers, magnets, keychains etc. advertising the area and the C&O towpath that a lot of bikers like to ride. If I lived nearby, this would definitely be a regular place to meet up with friends. It's a really unique spot!

Basic diner food in a classic 50's style atmosphere. Friendly servers. Clean restrooms!…read more The food is above average (kinda hard to ruin eggs, right? Lol). For breakfasts, their skillets are popular and very filling. The omelets are my favorites. What I like is that you can choose toast, a pakcake, or a waffle to go along. Their waffles are very good! For lunches their meatloaf is a comfort food classic. Very good with a tasty gravy if you'd like. I really like their hamburgers because the patties are fresh, not frozen. I can choose tater tots or fries (tots are my preference). The dinner is open 24 hours for you late nighters. The diner serves as the front desk for the Travelodge hotel nearby. I do recommend this restaurant for a hearty reasonably priced meal.

When it did arrive, the food was awful! I'd asked for eggs sunny side up with runny yolks, but that doesn't mean the whites should be runny too, and that's exactly how they came out, the whites all runny! it was disgusting! The ham was fine, and the hash browns were skimpy and buried underneath it. The toast was toast, so no complaints there. After the meal, I didn't feel well.

My impression of the menu is that it's kind of a Middle Eastern, Mexican, American, everything place. The Philly sub was more of a flat sandwich than a traditional philly, different style of bread, but tasty and satisfying. I opted for the chips instead of the french fries to cut some calories Feels very much like an old school neighborhood pub. Looking around, and taking the fact that it's a very small town, I can see this being a social focal point for the area. A nice full bar. There wasn't anything to dislike about it, nice people, nice food, warm, and comfortable, easy five stars. BUT. The one thing that pushed it way over the top was that instead of standing there, awkwardly intimidating, with the card machine in their hand waiting for me to pay, THEY LEFT IT ON THE TABLE AND WALKED AWAY! I can't express how happy this made me. Little things go a long way.
