    French toast

    On the small side but friendly staff and cute setting. Absolutely delicious breakfast! Recommend going early so that you can get a table

    Kerrie D.

    This place is awesome! Super adorable from the outside with a life size Betty Boop to greet you at the entrance. Once inside, the servers are friendly and attentive. We were lucky to arrive at a time when we could get a table easily, I can imagine this is a popular place on weekend mornings! Once seated, there was everything we needed on the wall to our right; silverware, condiments and card games! I had a good feeling about the food here, even before we ordered. It took me awhile, but I went with a western omelette (pumpernickel toast), something I often order when I am super hungry and it was excellent, with big chunks of ham, red and green peppers, onions and (my choice) American cheese. My husband went with a roasted chicken salad and loved it!

    Nice cowboy burger and breakfast sandwich on a bagel. Small place but we'll run with a nice friendly staff. Recommended

    Avocado Bacon Eggs Benedict

    Food was delicious! Specials and regular menu feature several options both sweet and savory, so there's something for everyone. It's a cute spot, maybe a little tight with space but the atmosphere is worth it and staff is friendly.

    Poached eggs with Avacados and Tomatoes. Delicious!

    Best breakfast in Western Mass, hands down. They have daily specials or order off the menu. If you don't want to wait, call ahead to get on a wait list as you head there. Quality ingredients! Closed first 2 weeks in July. Limited hours but do not hesitate to go when they are open.

    I had the Bennie from Heaven Nova Scotia with smoked salmon, sautéed baby spinach, two poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, capers and salmon caviar on a dill butter toasted English muffin. The description was spot on, it was heavenly!

    Breakfast skillet TO DIE FOR!!!

    I cannot recommend this little diner enough. The food, the service, the atmosphere - everything was just so fantastic. If you're in the mood for a delicious breakfast and some good old-fashioned hospitality, this is the place for you! Shoutout to our servers Jess and Brittany. You ladies keep us coming back!

    Angel's front is tiny but there's more inside space than you think there will be!

    Fun atmosphere,good food,efficient staff,45 minute wait(in the car because space is limited) but the waits were longer for folks after us!

    Lovely exterior

    Hi, we returned to Tables to find out if anything had changed…read more I had a western omelette, another person had an egg sandwich, and the 3rd had an egg Benedict with veggies and avacado. We all raved about the food. Spent a little time with Tara wishing he luck and good health. I will definitely will return. The atmosphere was the same as it was before. New waitresses were very cordial.

    Decent food, poor service. We were seated right away, but it…read moretook a while for a waitress to take our order. Then it took a long while to actually get our food. The meal I received (Eggs Benedict Florentine, a regular menu item) was not what I ordered (Tara's Benedict, on the specials menu), but by then I was so hungry that I just ate it. It was good. However, after a runner delivered our food, our waitress never checked in with us, or even made eye contact with us, until we were done eating. When she finally came, I told her (politely) that I had ordered Tara's Benedict but had received Florentine. She seemed to not know what to do with this information - but she did want me to know that she correctly submitted my order. Okay, I said, I just wanted to let you know that there was a miscommunication somewhere. She brought us our bill promptly (the incorrect meal was not taken off the bill), but then there was more waiting for her to come back and take our credit card. Finally my dining companion went up to the register to pay the bill. While there, they tried to explain to him what happened - apparently the chef had a different specials list than the specials menu that was given to customers. This does not really explain the mix-up. Plus, it was 11am on a Saturday - near the end of the breakfast period. How did they not realize sooner that the chef and the wait staff had different specials menus? This establishment is a little off the beaten path; you have to make it a destination - something I will not be doing again.

I highly recommend booking the lobster feast before all of the dates sell out.

    We purchased tickets to the fireside feast at Salem Cross in November and have been looking forward…read moreto it since then. We arrived at 5:30, went downstairs, checked in. Checked out the fireplace and roasting jack, and immediately went outside for a sleigh ride. It was fun, and lasted about 10 min. We headed back in and had some cheese spread and crackers which were good and a drink from the bar. Soon it was time for warm mulled cider and wine. It's cool how they heat them up, with a plunge of a hot poker from the blazing fireplace. The mulled wine was very good. Shortly after the mulled wine the prime ribs came off the roasting jack, the fire built up, and the cauldron put on for the seafood chowder. All the ingredients went in, and people were offered the opportunity to stir it. Things wrapped up downstairs and the crowd headed upstairs to the dining room. I'd say there was ~150 people. Tickets were $90 each. It's communal dining which I typically like. It's cool to talk to different people and see where they come from etc. Not tonight. The person sitting next to us was like a radio you wish you could turn off for 2 hours. Not the restaurant's fault of course, but it did distract from the evening. Bread was served, white bread rolls and sweet potato muffins, I didn't try them but they looked nice. The seafood chowder came out, it was very good. The main course was brought to the tables, it was prime rib, 2 salted roasted potatoes, and a healthy dollop of mashed butternut squash. Unfortunately this is where the real disappointment started for me. My prime rib was so tough that I couldn't cut through it with a steak knife, and raw. I ate one of the potatoes, and it was fine. The butternut squash had thanksgiving type spices and the taste I had of them was nice. The myoglobin from the raw meat turned everything red and watery so I didn't eat apart from that. Dessert was hotel pans of apple pie, I didn't try it. Not being a quitter I took the prime rib home and after cutting off the hard fat with a proper kitchen knife was able to salvage ~4.5 oz. I tried to coax some tenderness into it with a quick sear and it worked. Unfortunately it was livery so into the trash it went. In my humble opinion the experience was very nice, with the food taking a back seat. That said, other people seemed to enjoy their meals, mine may have been the outlier. I won't be back.

There weren't too many people there, but it made for a lowkey dinner. The food arrived quickly, and everything we had was actually much better than we were expecting. Cool concept with all of the books lining the dining room, and we appreciated that you could take 3 for free. Also walked around the book cellar too. There weren't really any titles that grabbed us though. My main critique is that it was pretty dusty... we looked at one of the lights and the cobwebs on it made it look like a Halloween decoration. You have to wonder if the dining room is that neglected, how bad is the state of the kitchen? Wouldn't be in a rush to come back, but glad I can say I've been to what's considered such an iconic roadside stop.

I hadn't been here since the sixties. Now that I have come for a few weeks I no longer have to order Carl just gives me a nod and I nod back.

The people here are an eclectic group of people from all walks of life. It's an old diner feel! Most of the people are old friends . Carl's wife is the only waitress.

Carl likes to pun or says things with a double entandre and see who catches what he says. There are many different newspapers.

Diner car is 80ish years old so has seen plenty of people walk through its doors. One of the oldest, if not the oldest, businesses is Palmer. I use to come here often, especially in my high school / college days. Always got the blueberry pancakes, in my opinion some of the best I have sunken my teeth into. Can put plenty of butter and syrup on them and they still soak them up. Today, no different. Was in town for a haircut and was really early so stopped here for breakfast. Blueberry pancakes, sausage patties and some hash. I am really just starting to eat hash. Cannot compare to many places, I enjoyed it enough to where I ate it all before eating anything else. Pancakes just as I remembered them. Would have eaten a triple stack but those days are over. They are big and fluffy to begin with as pancakes should be. Missed this place and happy to have made it back here. Cash only still I believe so hit the atm up the road if need be and leave a nice tip. Hard working family here in town who love their customers and would be honored to serve you and your family. Have a golden day.

According to the internet, when I searched to see if they were safe to eat, it says "No -- throw them out. The ammonia smell is a clear sign of spoilage, and eating them puts you at risk of foodborne illness (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, etc.). Even if they were fried and look/taste okay otherwise, the decomposition has already started." The rest of the meal was "ok" but when I brought the potentially spoiled scallops to the attention of my server, she discussed it with her boss. The boss said they comp me a beer I had drank. Now, I don't own a restaurant, but I would assume that those scallops were a much larger portion of my bill than the draft beer. I mentioned that to the server and she went back to the boss lady, only to come back and offer a $10 discount. Perhaps if the boss lady would have come out and talked to me about it, I would have been ok with that but she stayed in her office because she was "very busy". This is when I started to get annoyed. I could hear them talking on the other side of the wall and mentioned to the server that I was really surprised she didn't come out to talk to me about this problem. She reiterated that the boss lady was very busy. However, the server wasn't able to apply the $10 discount so boss lady had to come out and do it. To add insult to injury, the woman completely ignored me as she stood about a foot or so in front of me. I had to ask her if she was the manager or the owner and her reply was just "I'm married to him." Then began telling me that the scallops my wife had were from the "same batch". I had smelled those scallops and they did smell fine but that doesn't mean there wasn't a problem with the ones in my order. I said I was surprised she didn't come out to talk to me and she just said "it's been a very long day!" I replied with "You serve FOOD to customers." Then she just threw her hands up and walked away. I wasn't rude, didn't raise my voice and was still disrespected as a customer. First time there, and will never return not do I recommend anyone else does. Hopefully I don't get sick from eating there.
