I've been hearing the ads for this place for a long time, so today we tried it on a whim. Like others, we are now wondering why it took us so long to go! Our meals were exceptionally fresh and flavorful. I had the roast turkey panini special, my gf had the caesar salad with chicken. Unlike so many restaurants, the salad was dressed perfectly. What really impressed both of us was the attentive staff. Having experience in restaurant operations, we were extremely impressed with the service not just to us, but the way they kept an eye on every guest in the room. We sat at the counter, and witnessed much of the behind the scenes interaction. Two thumbs up, and we look forward to returning! read more

Love this place for breakfast and lunch. The carrot cake is AMAZING!!! the only bad thing is the service is not as good as their food. I will continue to come here though. read more

Awesome place! This is a hidden gem in hackettstown. Only open for breakfast and lunch. Items are made from scratch. My husband had the skillet special came with a poached egg on top of corned beef hash and a bunch of seasonal veggies and a home made corn muffin. I had 2 eggs scrambled with potatoes and pork sausage. Everything is priced right and service was great. Definitely will be regulars at this place read more

A group of my friends and I chose Stella Gs as a meeting point for us prior to our kayaking trip. I was really excited for this place. It looked adorable, and has pretty good reviews. Plus they have vegan options for my vegan friend! They looked pretty busy but we were sat quickly since we called ahead to let them know there was a party of 6 on the way. The server came and took our order and brought our drinks. Two completely different girls brought our food out. But they had no idea what they were even serving. 3 omlettes were ordered but they had no idea which was which. Neither did we! We waited as they figured that out. Little by little, all of our food was in front of us. All the while trying to get our original servers attention as she was chatting with a couple of her friends that came in. We thought if all 6 of us stared at her, maybe she'd get the hint that we needed her. Nope! I had to physically grab her as she walked passed us to get her attention. Then we all needed refills. Where's our server? Everywhere but our table. We got the attention of another girl that was holding up a wall along with two other girls. Our server didn't check on us one single time. I'm giving two stars only because it's a cute place. But service sucked! Food was okay at best. read more

The place is cute. The seating is tight. (Tables close together) menu isn't too expansive. I was in the mood for something and they didn't have it. I consider this place a limited menu diner. Liked their mugs. read more

Braised beef schnitzel with wild mushrooms was flavorful and delicious. Julienne vegetables were presented beautifully, tied in a bushel with a sprig of chive, though tasted bland. Smoked chicken and apple sausage quesadilla with butternut squash and pumpkin salsa sounded intriguing but also tasted bland. Menu seems to change weekly, and dinner seems to be served only Fridays and Saturdays. Among other missteps, service seemed strangely determined to remove our appetizers before we'd finished with them. Food 7 + ambiance 6 + value 5 + service 4 = overall 6.2 / 10 (decent) read more

I have never had a sub-par bite of food here. I wish they were open for dinner too. The baked goods (scones, muffins) are particularly good. I love that they have a small, thoughtful menu of things done deliciously, rather than a huge menu of mediocre food choices. read more

Fresh, seasonal, delicious. This is our go-to for weekend brunch. We've taken many friends there over the years. Their dishes are unique and we are lucky to have such a place in this neck of the woods. We just used them to cater our twins' and my nephew's Baptism. When another option fell through a week out, Bruno and Maureen jumped to rescue the party. They were pleasant, accommodating and very willing to work within our budget. Everything was excellent. People raved about the food; we actually ran out because people went back for seconds or even thirds! The cakes were yummy and not one cookie or pastry was left on the platters. Many local friends and family asked for their information to use for their own events. On a stressful day, they made things simple and delicious. I am grateful. read more

I recently had Stella G's cater a graduation party for 40 guests and Could not say enough positive things about the quality of the food and service! From start to finish, Courtney was accommodating, communicative, and extremely helpful in planning all things food. I received so many compliments throughout the night from guess about how delicious the food was. People LOVED the short rib sandwich, lemon chicken, farro salad , and goat cheese puffs. Courtney made sure everything went seamlessly and I couldn't be more grateful! read more

Great place. The staff is wonderful, and only eclipsed by the food!! Asparagus festival!!! Woohoo!!! read more

This place is so cute and quaint! The waiters are very friendly and knowledgeable and the food is amazing! The restaurant itself is quite small and usually busy during breakfast and brunch, but waiting time is never more than 15-20 minutes. There are also a couple tables outside if you prefer to eat outdoors. I usually get the eggs Benedict with rosti potatoes and it never fails to impress. The food presentation is always beautiful and the food itself is so delicious. The scones are also really great, especially the lavender ones. I will definitely come back, and often! read more

Food was good. Service not so much. Lady at the counter seemed annoyed that I was there.

We will be back at Stella's time and time again! My significant other and I enjoyed omelettes, home made sweet potato fries, and a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast. We enjoyed breakfast so much, we returned for lunch the very next day! I had the fish and chips, which were enjoyable, as well as the Swiss onion soup! Also very tasty. My significant other again had an omelette with a cup of coffee! The prices here are reasonable, the food is very very good, and the wait staff were friendly. I highly recommend Stella G's for breakfast or lunch! read more

Cute country atmosphere. 20 min wait on a Sunday at 12 pm. Pretty good food. The sweet stuff on the menu looked unique and sounded delicious. Our grits with ham and cheese and eggs with bacon and potatoes were a-ok but not great. Crab dumplings were pretty yummy. All for $28. Not bad. read more

Mothers Day is always a tough one for brunch, but the staff at Stella G were courteous and kept us informed while we waited for a table. Perfectly worth the wait. Eggs Benedict and Rosti was excellent. Pancakes were fluffy and tasted good. Coffee of the day just right and a refill too. Goldilocks meal - just right! Thanks Chefs Bruno, Maureen and team. read more

This place Never lets me down! Such Tasty FOOD! I have gone here numerous times, and every time, I try something new and I'm never disappointed. Whether you are looking for a good Breakfast or Lunch you won't go home regretting your decision to try Stella G's. The Service and Staff here are so nice, and they have such a good grasp on what GOOD SERVICE is and Knowledge of their restaurant. read more

I took a vacation day from work on Friday Sept 30th and a friend and I headed down to try Stella Gs via recommendation from another friend who lives in Budd Lake. The 50 minute drive was definitely worth it. The food was amazing! It had fresh and seasonal ingredients with a perfect presentation. It's a breakfast/lunch place. They close at 2:30pm. I ordered the chicken stella with the sauce on the side and my friend got the veggie delight - well proportioned and healthy. The friend who recommended us to Stellas insisted we bring home scones to try. I got a cinnamon chocolate and an Irish Buttermilk. I had the Cinnamon chocolate for breakfast this morning. DELICIOUS and soft. You can tell by the taste of everything that it's made to order. Our waitress was extremely friendly and checked on us a few times. I would definitely without a doubt travel back to Hackettstown to eat there again. read more

Have been coming to this place quite often and they have always had consistently good food. Until today, when the most vile experience one could ever imagine happening at a restaurant happened. Halfway through eating my breakfast burrito and potatoes I found a dead ROACH ON MY PLATE, underneath my food. I was so disgusted and had to compose myself from vomiting right at the table. We informed the waitress and she offered to "bring something else to eat". I kindly refused, and will undoubtedly never return again. It's a shame because they do have good food, however I refuse to dine at a place that has serves roaches with their meals. read more

This is a breakfast and lunch spot - which is amazing. The service on a Sunday is going to be slow, but the food was amazing. I had the crispy pulled pork sandwhich, which was resonably priced. read more

Stopped in here on a Friday morning, just the wife and I. She had the Salmon Eggs Benedict and I had the Corned Beef Hash. Both were quite tasty and excellent on the presentation. I love Corned Beef Hash and try it almost every time it's on a menu. This was definitely fresh, not out of a can. The poached egg on top was a perfect addition as was the Irish Soda Bread on the side. The coffee is a great roast, I drink it black and could've had multiple cups. Looking forward to heading back if we're in the area again. read more

Finally got to come here! Everything was amazing! Customized my meal so I could do the steak and eggs but with eggs Benedict as the eggs which was nice but our server was barely around. By the time my husband got some syrup for his pancakes I was half done with my plate. The service was disappointing but I loved the food and atmosphere enough to try again! read more

Always busy at Stella G's but it's completely worth the wait. The potatoes rosti are absolutely the reason that I go again again and I've never had a bad meal. The entire staff is friendly and the atmosphere is just what you expect from a small country town I urge you to Stella G's, especially now that it's spring and the asparagus will be arriving soon! read more

Solid lunch place! Came here with a few co-workers spontaneously since it's just down the street. It's definitely a place for "ladies who lunch" and there's nothing wrong with that. I was craving a BLT, and after going back and forth between the regular and the TBLT (with tilapia), I went regular. Happy I did- it was a very solid sandwich. Would definitely come here for lunch again. read more

This place used to be so great with the previous owners. Food is gross and staff is awful. I won't ever be coming back.

Even if it weren't the only breakfast place in downtown Hackettstown, it would be the best. Great food, great prices and they are always adding seasonal dishes with ingredients from local farms. I had no idea all that could be done with asparagus! Generally crowded on weekends and sometimes usable tables end up getting blocked because it's so cramped so we end up sitting at the counter. If you order the French onion soup, be on the lookout for stray bay leaves - three that were not removed from the pot ended up in my crock of soup. And definitely end your meal with a scone or take some to go - best in town. read more

With an eclectic menu focused on local, fresh, re-vamped classic favorites, Stella G's is a great place for either breakfast or lunch! I've been here plenty of times and have yet to be disappointed with the food or the service. You may have to wait a few minutes for a table, however it's definitely worth the wait! Highly recommend for light fare in a quaint relaxed setting :) read more

I love coming here with my grandparents. They offer plenty of clearly labeled gluten-free eats. Employees are all so friendly, and the restaurant has that welcoming country feel. Grab a freshly baked scone, you will not be disappointed. I love their stews on a cold autumn night. And let's not forget the most important meal of the day- brunch. This is an awesome breakfast and brunch spot for both sweet and savory. The skillets are especially satisfying. Stella's can fill up quickly, so get there early and enjoy! read more

Absolutely delicious! This was a mini stop from New York to Ohio and it was worth it. read more

Me and my boyfriend just went here for the first time. I got the banana oatmeal raisin pancakes, which were delicious! My bf got the steak and eggs- only thing I would recommend is ordering extra steak, the steak portion was extremely small and he ended up having to order more. Aside from that, he said it was one of the best steaks he's ever had. If it's a busy morning/afternoon parking could be tough. Great place, definitely will be back! read more

Yum Yum Yum. I've had the opportunity to test out Stella G's twice now and both times have been wonderful taste experiences. The swiss onion soup is absolutely delicious as are their desserts - I've tasted both the carrot cake and the german chocolate cake. Last Sunday I decided to try a chicken sandwich. Sounds simple enough but it was far from it. The chicken was served warm and tender, in small pieces on apple bread, with avocado, melted cheese and a cider sauce drizzled over. I'm sure I'm not doing this menu item justice when I say it was a phenomenal taste experience. Service both times was very good, especially considering how busy they were. The staff were friendly, courteous and quick. I will definitely go back to Stella Gs. I was very happy to see that they are now open for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays. Can't wait to sample that menu! Note - the restaurant is BYOB. read more

We came here for breakfast because of the scones review we read on Yelp. Their special scone today was strawberry shortcake and it was good! It could've been more buttery though, but they gave us a whole bowl of butter, so that's good. Overall, the food was good. And we both had the eggs Benedict, which was good too! read more

The style and creativity of the chefs constantly exceed my expectations. Wonderful place to have a tasty brunch. The scones are outrageous. The specials are always different and you can really feel the love from the owners. Good vibes all around. Try and sit at the bar for better service though. Wait staff can get very busy at times. read more

Hands down my favorite brunch spot in Hackettstown! Anything I try on the menu is delicious, and I often order items on the specials list. Their breakfast skillets, eggs Benedict, and scones are all items I'd recommend. Seating is limited, but the turnaround for tables is quick. Great service, a quaint atmosphere, and some outdoor seating for the warmer months make this place ideal. Pricing is reasonable, so check it out! read more

This place is burning to the ground. New owners are the worst thing to happen. They're never there and couldn't care less about their customers. The food has only gotten worse. Bathrooms aren't tended to as much as they should be. Coffee tastes like dirty water and the scones are never available. Try ihop next time. read more

Stella G's has everything you could possibly want in a restaurant! We usually sit at the bar and the service is always great. The food is amazing and the scones are to die for. I'd eat here everyday if I could! read more

Holy moly!! Try the grilled cheese with prime rib. Best sandwich I've ever had. The flavor was excellent! I'd classify this place as a hipster diner. The staff is great and the kitchen is on point. The prices are good the food is phenomenal. They only do lunch and breakfast so get there early! read more

We have been here a couple of times. Their food is very good. They don't have a huge space, but it is comfortable enough. Since it is in the middle of town, the parking could be tight id the area was to become busy. I usually lean towards breakfast food or burgers, so I am not a fan of the pork belly or mahi mahi-sort of of options. read more

I just had breakfast here at Stella G's. It is located in an old fashioned Main Street style store. This place is exceptionally neat and clean. There are Tiffany style overhead lights. The walls are painted rough cut wood as well as ceiling. There are a lot of tables including 2 outdoor sidewalk with umbrellas. There is also a counter with 6 or 7 stools to sit. They only serve breakfast and lunch. The menu is eclectic and we'll thought out. For my breakfast I had lemon ricotta pancakes with warm peaches and slivered almonds. I did not even use the maple syrup that was offered. The pancakes were light and none of the flavors were overpowering to each other. I also had a side order of turkey link sausage. This was a very good meal that I thoroughly enjoyed. With coffee, the cost was around $10. I can't wait to come back to try some other items. read more

All I can say is Wow. I had the Farmer's Casserole and it was awesome. I love the the they served it on an iron skillet.

We will definitely come back, especially for the seasonal menu. read more
