    Grilled cinnamon roll- Must get!!
    Grace N.

    Here for Electric Forest and we stopped by for a coffee and something sweet while we waited for our clothes to wash at the laundromat across the plaza. Honestly we didn't expect a lot since it seemed like pretty standard diner food. I can't comment on the actual breakfast food, but the grilled cinnamon roll was INCREDIBLE. Such a simple concept.. take a big ass cinnamon roll, slice it in half, grill it with a ton of butter, and serve it with some strawberries... but damn was it delicious. The cinnamon roll was toasted to perfection with plenty of crunch to balance out the soft chew of the rest of the roll. The strawberries added a wonderful freshness. We ordered extra strawberries to balance out the richness of the roll. The only thing that could have made this better was a side of fresh whipped cream. The service was also friendly and the staff seemed genuinely proud of their food. We'll be back to visit cinnamon roll heaven again!

    Interior seating area, lots of space.

    LOVE THIS PLACE. Our server is always happy with a great sense of humor. Food comes out quickly, in generous portions, hot & delicious. Not only are are the breads & pastries housemade, but their soup was AMAZING and housemade, as well. Beautiful large pieces of chicken in the southwest soup and the chili was great, too. They happily replaced the white bread on the deluxe club with rye and it was fantastic. Nicely decorated and cozy interior. This has become my favorite restaurant in Whitehall!

    Mushroom and cheese omelette with cinnamon raisin toast!
    Jerry S.

    Delicious and well plated! It tasted as good as it looks!. I highly recommend this restaurant. The service was prompt and kind. Thoughtful and quick! Newly upgraded interior, with comfortable and 'homey' touches. I had a mushroom and cheese omelette. It was almost perfect! I'm an omelette snob! The lightly sautéed portobello mushrooms and combination of cheeses. So good!. Excellent homemade cinnamon raisin toast. Deep fried perfection for the 'home fries'. One note: the hash browns are deep fried. Not my thing. I truly enjoyed my breakfast, I bet you do too!

    bacon, eggs, and hash browns

    I was really excited when the Homestead was going to open but I do not feel like it is what it could be. The staff seem friendly and the decor is welcoming. The location is convenient being right in Whitehall on the main road. My breakfast was pretty mediocre, I wouldn't say it was anything over the top. I was very disappointed that the shredded hash browns were so, so thin. They tasted like pure grease and you couldn't taste any potato. They were like see through! There is no place to get shredded hash browns in Whitehall so I was really looking forward to it only to be a little disappointed. The waffle was flavorless and overpriced for what it's worth for sure. I feel like the bagel/bread/pastry cases seem like they are self serve the way they are positioned/located. I watched someone come in just for a pastry and they went to grab it themselves only to be told that an employee had to do it. I think there should be better signage to state employees only or something similar to that, or at least have them repositioned etc. Overall it seems like a pretty basic spot. There isn't anything speciality on their menu that is calling me back.

    Everything But the Kitchen Sink

    I was in Whitehall for a wedding and came here for brunch. It has a cute and homey vibe, and our waitress was great. My boyfriend had the breakfast burrito and I had the everything but the kitchen sink special. That was all of their fixings for the stuffed hash browns, but over biscuits with sausage gravy. It was AMAZING. It was honestly the best gravy that I've ever had. I definitely recommend checking out The Homestead Restaurant and Bakery if you're around!!

    Rye Toast && Scrambled Eggs.
    Zackery F.

    This place is great! We've been staying in Whitehall this summer and have been coming here regularly. The staff is super friendly and the prices are reasonable (If you come in early enough you get a discount on everything). The bread is definitely made fresh and is the best part. They don't have a huge amount of options as the menu is *very* small, but it seems like they stick to what they do best. I typically just get traditional breakfast (Eggs / Potato / Toast) but the fancier items look pretty good too. Food comes out quickly, place is super clean. Nothing I could complain about, highly recommend.

The potatoes are so yum. This time instead of adding on the blueberry almond oatmeal, I went with the Oatcakes (pancakes made from oatmeal) which had blueberries inside.

We even ate before we went so we wouldn't get hangry, but even from the wait of being seated to the time the kitchen finally makes your plate of food, my children were almost in tears because their tummies hurt. My daughter literally only ordered yogurt and fruit. She was the LAST one served. Please train servers to get children's food out quick (for everyone's sanity). When asked how our meal was, I finally did mention that this will be our last time patronizing this establishment. Clearly they are too busy to craft a joyful and memorable experience. It's better if we find a new spot. My previous review still stands. Go if you want a good breakfast, but be prepared to wait awhile and pay a premium for it.

There is a wait because the food is amazing, and everyone knows it, we are happy to wait our turn to get in to eat multiple times a week because it's like a home away from home, only with better food. Another huge plus here besides the amazing food and friendly staff is the turn around time on food. Idk what kind of magic they do in the kitchen but the food is always ready in the blink of an eye. Ask for a side of the chipotle ranch, trust me, it will change your life.
