    Brunch Buffet
    Michael S.

    BRUNCH!!! Truly one of my most favorite words of all time. Back in my youthful bartending days a group of us service workers would meet up for BRUNCH, almost every Sunday we would pick a different restaurant for BRUNCH.... It was lovely, good times and memories made. Sooo let's fast forward 25 yrs, I still love brunch and last Sunday we (my wife & son) hit up Wiggins Tavern inside the Hotel Northampton. First, the hotel is charming in its own manner, then we found our way to Wiggins Tavern : rustic yet classy & cozy. The manager was super helpful in placing us in a quiet area (my son has sensory issues). Our server Johnny was professional & personable. He went out of his way to make sure all was good with our son. (Tip went up) The food!!!! OMG....Wiggins Tavern nailed BRUNCH 100%. Shrimp cocktail on ice, melt in your mouth Prime Rib, Chicken piccata, eggs Benedict, Waffles, French Toast! YES CHEF we raise our glass of Bloody Mary to you!! Not all hero's wear capes. Superb Bloody Mary... not too hot, just the right amount of spice! The desert table was amazing: it had a variety of pastries, strawberry and fresh whipped cream, and hand dipped chocolate covered Oreos.... WHAT, HOLLA!!!!! We give Wiggins Tavern 5/5 Mai Tai's on our restaurant Mai Tai rating scale: 1. Ambiance & Cleanliness 2. Service: waiter, hostess, manager 3. Food: variety & quality 4. Bar: drink quality & cleanliness 5. Price point/ value for our money Wiggins checked off all the boxes!! We strongly recommend trying their Brunch, reservations is a MUST!!! Note: I read a few reviews before going. There were a couple negative reviews that were soooo far off base. Probably trolls trying to stir the pot... so ignore.

    Despite the recent negative reviews, we braved it because we really wanted a full buffet brunch experience and Wiggins Tavern did not disappoint. I haven't seen this type of lavish buffet since pre-pandemic and was truly impressed at the extensive options. Not everything was fantastic-- salmon was a bit fishy, the cinnamon cream tasted like it was Cool Whip to me, and the dessert buffet looked impressive but many of the desserts were the type that you get in bulk from your food service provider and defrost. However, the fruit salad, shrimp and (surprisingly!) green beans were very very good. We are pescatarian so a lot of the options weren't for us, but I still have no complaints about the variety and generally good quality. Everything was hot enough for us (despite previous diner's complaint). It's not an inexpensive meal, and I think you would get more bang for your buck as a carnivore here, but if you want to splurge on a nice Sunday buffet brunch in a cozy Colonial environment with extensive selection to keep everyone happy, I don't think you could do better than Wiggins Tavern. Was it the best breakfast we had in town? No, Jake's was better in terms of flavor and quality, but in terms of being able to make a reservation in advance and sit right down to our meal, Wiggins Tavern had the advantage there and would be the place I'd choose if I was there with older members of my family.

    In late evening (9pm) for some after dinner drinks and a snack. The space is the original from the hotel's prior location in New Hampshire, moved piece by piece and lovingly reconstructed here. The beams, posts and 10ft wide fireplace are so cool and relaxing, and the faux gas fire is one of the best I have ever seen. We sat in arm chairs snd a small couch directly in front of the fireplace and Ryan (also tending bar) provided super service and all the background on the hotel and the space. We ordered a nice bottle of cabernet, and a wonderful fruit and cheese plate and sipped and chatted for an hour or more. So relaxing and a perfect end to our day.

    Chicken pot pie special $15

    I ordered the special which was the chicken pot pie and it was probably the best I've ever had. You could literally taste the freshness of the freshly cut vegetables. Plus Samantha was just the sweetest waitress, making the food taste that much better and creating such a pleasant dining experience.

    Vegetarian Risotto. Ultra-Yum.

    Arrived at this wonderful eatery ravenously hungry on the way from New Hampshire's Lake Region back home to Philadelphia, and as we were accompanied by our awesome furry son, Tango, we needed an al fresco place to eat. A quick check of Yelp revealed good reviews, so we and Tango went into their expansive patio overlooking the Northampton City Hall Green and with a superb look at the passers-by in their quaint and busy downtown. Service was superb, with the staff welcoming our awesome Black Lab effusively and Tango repaying the compliment by rolling on his back for a belly rub. We had one of the best al fresco tables on the patio. My partner ordered their cheeseburger and I ordered the featured Vegetarian Risotto. Yum. Really, really yum. The side salad was fresh and ample, and accompanied by freshly baked bread. Tango got a water bowl and several dog cookies. We did go inside separately to use the facilities and admired the grandeur of the Northampton Hotel and much of their grand old lobby which is now taken up by Wiggins. We left totally satiated, happy, and pleased to have visited Northampton.

The staff were genuinely welcoming, attentive without being overbearing, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. The menu highlights locally sourced ingredients and seasonal flavors, and you can taste the freshness in every bite. The dishes are thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Whether you're ordering seafood, steak, or one of their creative vegetarian options, the flavors are balanced and satisfying. The cocktail list is equally impressive, with well-crafted drinks that complement the menu nicely. What really sets Homestead apart is its consistency and attention to detail -- from the quality of the ingredients to the comfortable ambiance and polished service. It's the kind of place that feels special without feeling pretentious. If you're in Northampton and looking for a restaurant that blends farm-to-table quality with a welcoming atmosphere, Homestead is absolutely worth a visit.

The beer selection is the best I've ever seen in terms of quality breweries. Hill Farmstead is on the menu today (four different ones!) and there are so many others! The wine selection is ok. This is a beer place in my view. Food options are limited and all excellent. Some dishes can be made vegan if that's your preference but there's something for everyone and the quality is spot on. Tonight I had a tofu sandwich that was excellent another person had a kale salad and raved about it. There's something to be said for a place that limits itself to things it does perfectly and The Dirty Truth seems to be that kind of place. It also focuses on beer and food that are interesting and of the highest possible quality. IT's affordable and unpretentious and very comfortable for large and small groups alike. I think I'm coming here on every trip to Northampton. It's that good! See for yourself!
