    What a great breakfast place in beautiful Glen, NH. It may be on the smaller side but the breakfast dishes are huge! The staff are right on point and cater to your every need. I got the most delicious sausage, biscuits, and gravy. The gravy was both sweet & salty. It was so savory. We got a side of homemade corned beef hash and a side of homemade sausage. Both were decadent. This is a must try if you're planning a ski trip or just a getaway to Glen, NH. Minutes away from North Conway and shops. Plenty of parking, handicap accessible and outside seating during the warmer months.

    Went for breakfast at The Sunrise Shack up in Glen, NH and I can tell you this random stop off White Mountain Highway is one that if you blink you'd miss! We walked in and were told we could pick our seats! Delightful!! Fills up fast but was empty when we arrived early morning!! The menu is under the plastic table protection and that's GENIUS!! Love this ease for all and cleanliness option! The hardest part was choosing one thing, as always that's my issue!! I love the bowls, they are the perfect amount of food (I rarely if ever finish a plate, my son teases me about my eyes bigger than my stomach but no apologies!) there's not much left over when I'm done!! On my plate is the carnie with rye toast. Opposite me was the Biscuits and gravy which was delightfully maple-fied. We had lunch plans already but the options for morning or afternoon are deliciously satisfying!! Great clean space, friendly service and just really fresh wonderful food. Service was INSANELY FAST! We blinked and it was ready!! So that absolutely blew me away! Can't wait to return!! What do you get when you visit??

    Takin' It To The Street

    This place was so good!! Oh my gosh! My parents tried to gaslight me when we arrived, saying "I think we've eaten here before and we did not like it!" But oh-ho! I never forget a meal and this place was as unfamiliar to me as the touch of one's true love. You arrive, you park in their lot, you check in at a window (of course! So New Hampshire core) and get a buzzer - because this place is popping! After ten minutes we were buzzed and seated. So many of their savory breakfast items sounded so good, it was tough to decide. I went with the Takin' It to the Street breakfast sandwich. It was so good!! They also offer these delicious-sounding breakfast bowls, and some of my family ordered these and said they were great. We contemplated coming back another day on our trip but we never got around to it unfortunately. I will be back on my next visit to the White Mountains however. It's a bit crowded, they have sound-proofing on the ceiling to keep the noise level down, but honestly it all creates a cozy hole-in-the-wall delicious breakfast experience that is worth your time. At the conclusion of our meal, my parents retracted their statement and conceded that they probably arrived at the restaurant and left after seeing the wait - the food was so delicious that they realized that could not have been the problem!

    Wait wasn't bad in Oct at peak season for foliage. Food wait was long for breakfast. Food was good. Breakfast bowl my husband had may have been better than my Californian. Tomatoes and spinach were raw. Avocados were almost over ripe.

    Great service, biscuits and gravy surprisingly light. In other words, you don't get up from the table with a bowling ball in your gut LOL.

    Shack Toast
    Melissa T.

    This place is a gem! I stopped by early with my mom, husband, and baby. I can't remember what my mom or husband ordered, but I got the Shack Toast - sweet cannoli cream stuffed French toast with raspberry sauce. Hands down, one of the best French toast I've ever had! That filling was everything, and I LOVED the raspberry sauce. I'll be ordering the same breakfast during my next White Mountains vacation!

    Really nice breakfast here and excellent 10/10 service. We were originally bummed that we may not get a table, since there were SO many cars in the lot and plenty of people waiting outside as well as in their cars. Thankfully, the wait was very short and maybe just 10-15 minutes or so. We were helped immediately and the 10 min wait allowed us to pick out our food so we ordered when we sat down. We were pleasantly delighted to see they offer milk alternatives such as oat milk. The food came out in maybe only 5-10 minutes more, hot and fresh and exactly as we ordered it. The eggs were full of flavor and nothing seemed greasy or overcooked. Serving size is normal; no skimping on portions but also not anything massive either. The ambiance of The Sunrise Shack is clean, tidy, and minimal yet has an inviting, warm, cabin-like atmosphere. The menu is underneath a plate of glass/plexi on the table which makes things seem easy. The menu feels expansive with a plethora of choices, yet simple and minimal, if that makes sense. While we were eating we watched the 2 servers quickly help other patrons. All the other tables were getting their orders taken quickly and then getting food extremely promptly. We were helped very quickly and as soon as we finished we were offered the check. They really know how to run a breakfast here, and do it quite well. Do not be afraid of a wait here because things move quickly. Overall we really enjoyed our breakfast here and it was exactly what we wanted - something quick and easy, healthy and tasty, and no frills.

    Shack toast with side of bacon
    Jen H.

    Loved the vibe - warm, welcoming and a bit retro. Service was spot on from the moment we walked in, until we paid the bill. Menu is extremely robust with a ton of different options. The shack toast is a must, not too sweet but full of flavor. The huevos rancheros bowl was served in this metal bowl which was a bit hard to eat out of. The potatoes at the bottom of the bowl could have used another few minutes on the grill for some extra crisp, but the overall favor and punch the jalapeños packed was great. Looking forward to coming back and trying one of their breakfast sandwhich the next time we're in town.

    Do you offer any gluten-free dishes ? My husband has Celiac, your reviews look great but I need to be careful of where we eat.

    They can do gluten free. I have U. C. and they provide gluten free bread

The server was completely out to lunch and by the time he came back to check on us, my entire party had either finished their meals or shoved the plates away in disgust.

The outside is unsuspecting and our hopes were not very high as it is fairly difficult to find decent food in the area. We were pleasantly surprised! We arrived 30 minutes before they opened (unaware they were closed) and were still met with kindness and helpful staff who made a reservation for us for when they opened. We sat outside which was perfect with a toddler. Staff were very friendly and service was great. We were skeptical of the menu as it is limited but all of our meals were excellent. We were even shocked by the quality of the kids Alfredo with shrimp. Everything tasted fresh. A little pricey but worth every penny. Will absolutely be back!

A small bar as you enter that was full when we came in. We sat at a small table in the bar area. Everyone was very nice and our waitress was attentive enough - but she seemed a bit busy. But all was fine service wise. So....the food. It's weird. Like trying too hard to be different but just didn't hit the mark for me. I see bread on a menu and I get excited! So immediately I ordered the Parmesan bread with dill pickle butter. The bread was warm and I enjoyed it but the butter with dill pickle just didn't work for me. Lots of other things to me could have complemented the bread better. Then we order the lettuce wraps, they were ok. My friend ordered the duck and I tried it and we both really liked it! The vegetables were good! My sirloin....the steak itself was good despite being a tad overcooked for medium rare. Something on the plate had a curry flavor - it just didn't all go together well. Then the lemon ricotta cheesecake....we didn't taste any lemon, it was thick and weirdly dry for a cheesecake. It also had freeze dried something on top....we actually weren't sure what. Some bright spots - the food quality! You can tell that these are top notch high quality ingredients, and the cocktails! They were yummy! I just don't like the weird combos and what (to me) feels like being weird for the sake of being different versus just being good. Since I only come up here a few times a season I likely will go to our other favorites or try new spots.
