Good kids cup with fun straws for the little kids. Ask the right questions. They have a wide and delicious menu with omelettes and breakfasts that is delicious. The prices are excellent. Very, very worth the price. This is a fun family atmosphere, it's like a giant country kitchen sort of dining room room. They have small booths. They have big tables. They got a nice fireplace. I have to imagine that place is like Cracker Barrel expired to be like this. Not so much but it's meaningful stuff. I loved the brisket omelette. My little split a cookies and cream on it. They loved it. They cleared their plates quick quickly. She got apple crisp waffles, a.k.a. pancakes with abs, according to my little brother, my 14-year-old says five out of five stars I would go here again. My youngest says 10 out of five stars. My sister-in-law says that her omelette was fantastic. Epic breakfast in the middle of a trip.

Update to my review more than a year ago. I've been here twice this year and there are reasons it's…read morenot more often. Both visits showed me business has slowed. I'm guessing some of what I experienced both times this year may be a factor for others as well. Overall this is a nice locally owned restaurant. I like to support local business when I can. But what I encounter here prevents me from doing so often. The big issues are the elderly woman who seems to be the primary server as she appears to be here all of the times I've been here. She's abrupt, seems passive aggressive. I'm afraid to ask for what I want, such as no oil on my perfectly good green beans that they screw up by putting oil all over, with garlic. I just wanted healthy green beans, not oiled up ones. She seemed to be very bothered or get mad. Then the passive side cones out when she says the worn out server talk of wishing me a nice day when I pay the bill. Ironically their vegetarian menu item is three sides (veggie choices that they already have oiled up or you get steamed. Don't ask for the green beans without the oil, the server told me she doesn't know how the cook makes them, he just does it the way he does. Not exactly what I'd expect or want to hear. I'd expect an answer that would be something along the lines of asking the cook not to do the oil, just steam or cook in water instead. Nope, not here. Not a vegetarian or vegan friendly place at all. Too bad, since it's in an area of farms and likely has people shopping at farm stands who might stop for a bite too. The "haddock" looked and tasted more like flounder or tilapia to me (see pic). But it was good and baked without oil or butter as I asked. I asked for lemon and got two small slices. Not enough for the fish let alone for the two veggies, and the unsweetened ice tea i ordered as well. This place has promise and the food is mostly good but some more customer friendly changes should be made, including not being so skimpy on the lemon. I gave just 3 stars this year because the other 2 were when I had a much younger more accommodating server who made my meal eating a good experience unlike this and my last visit.

Service was good as we had the room to ourselves - like the SU themed decorations on the walls. We both ordered 8oz Sirloins & Sweet Potato Fries. Sirloin was good, but i think it actually may have been accidentally salted twice.... easily rectified by dumping a little water on it to wash the salt away (I'm easy to please;) - was perfect after that! Sweet Potato Fries were AWEsome! Trying to watch carb intake so good sweet potato fries are always a treat;) Would like to return here ...maybe even sit outside on a slightly cooler night;)

We wanted to give Gateway Diner another chance after a disappointing dinner visit, so we came back…read morefor breakfast. Sadly, it was another letdown. One thing I will say is that the restaurant itself is very nice. The dining room is clean, updated, and has a newer feel rather than the classic old school diner atmosphere, which we really liked. Our waitress was also friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. My husband's bagel sandwich with double sausage, egg, and cheese was excellent. It was easily the highlight of the meal. Everything else missed the mark. We both ordered home fries, but they were only lightly browned on top while the rest of the potatoes were saturated with what tasted like butter or oil. After one bite, neither of us could eat them. My two over medium eggs were cooked correctly, but the wheat toast was very thin and lacked the crisp texture you expect from toast. The biggest disappointment was the corned beef hash. I specifically ordered it well done and very crispy, but it was only browned on one side while the other side was still soft and undercooked. We asked if it could be cooked longer, but when it came back it wasn't much different. I took one more bite and still couldn't eat it. By the end of the meal, most of my breakfast and both orders of home fries were still on the plates, and my husband had only eaten his sandwich. We paid for the entire meal without complaint, but no one asked if something was wrong or why so much food had been left behind. A simple check in or offering to make things right would have made a big difference. We know every restaurant can have an off day, and we genuinely hope others have a better experience than we did. Unfortunately, after giving Gateway Diner two chances and leaving disappointed both times, we've decided it just isn't the place for us.
