Syrup for pancakes is served in cute little animal pourers! Service has always been great! They have a penny press machine for a Brandon Souvenir Penny.

2nd time there…read more... First time about 2yrs ago with out of town friends. Breakfast was just so-so. I decided to give Mae's a 2nd chance and went for a late breakfast/brunch yesterday (Sunday) . Walked in and was left to stand there, no acknowledgment...finally after approx. 4-5mins was told I could sit anywhere. by an older, flustered waitress. The place wasn't THAT busy. I ordered a Mae-Mosa (based on my check I think I was charged about $13-15?) which came in a beer pint glass...not at all a common way to serve a mimosa nor was it good.. By the way, there are no prices on the table card with the list of drinks...which were beer, wine or mimosas. I ordered waffles ($9.50) and a side of bacon ($4) "crisp" please. The consistency of the cold waffles was that of a wet sponge. Mushy. On the plate was a cute, but empty porcelain cow that was supposed to house maple syrup I assumed. I waited and waited to get the waitresses attention but to no avail so I got up, went over to where you pay and when I advised her I did not receive any maple syrup she never made eye contact with me...no apology and was quite busy counting her checks. I asked should I leave this lil' cow with you ? Again without looking up, said yes. While I waited for maple syrup which finally came but was given little plastic take out container filled and dropped off in a hurry...I thought the syrup tasted more like "pancake syrup" than Vermont's #1 pride and joy commodity. The "crispy bacon"? was far from crispy...1/2 of each of the 3 pieces was fat...and greasy as hell. I pulled apart what was edible and left a plate with lots of gristle . I truly should have sent all of it back but I was too hungry I guess and ate as much of what came out of the kitchen and was anxious to leave. Sooo my $25.50 Sunday brunch...with tax was extremely disappointing. I would have been MUCH better off going to the Morningside Bakery around the block which would have been better and less expensive. https://morningsidebakery.square.site/ It's a shame...and I'm not happy leaving a review like this as the owner & her husband are really nice folks but...Cest la vie.

The large is actually pretty small compared to what you get at other places in Rutland. The taste of the pizza was fine nothing I would say that was remarkable or that stood out to make it stand out from others in the area. The chicken alfredo with broccoli was kind of tasteless but the chicken was soft and tender and the pasta was cooked well. It comes with half of a sub roll that is the garlic bread. We did get a Mug Root beer and Ben and Jerry's ice cream which were both great. It's also convenient to be able to get these with dinner. The customer service was great and the staff were friendly. The restaurant was clean and well taken care of.
