The Homestead Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
I had the fruit and yogurt breakfast. It was very tasty. The others had eggs and toast a huge cinnamon roll and said it was delicious! Will make this our happy place from now on! Not one complaint!
Service at The Homestead was solid on a Saturday at 10AM! The cinnamon roll was out of this world, the biscuits and gravy were fluffy and savory, and the a la carte menu was a great value to try different menu items.
We went here for a birthday brunch. The food was to all of our liking. I had a Belgian waffle and an order of biscuits and gravy. The waffle was an excellent texture and flavor. The sausage and gravy dish wasn't like any other biscuits and gravy I've ever had. I don't know what spices they used but it was yummy with a hint of spicy heat. The biscuits were thick and crumbly inside which was good. The others at the table: One got the BLT with cheese and fries. It looked amazing. The bacon was thick and appeared perfectly cooked. The fries were delicious too. Someone ordered the chicken and waffles. They were happy with their order and it the chicken fingers looked yummy. Finally the last order was a chicken pickle sandwich. She exclaimed, "finally someone who gets it and put the right amount of pickles on a sandwich" so big win for this pick too. All in all the place was excellent.
We got carry out since we were about to start our 3 hour road trip home, around 11/11:30 AM today, it was so delicious and kept us full the whole ride! (We planned on probably needing to wait 20-30 minutes or so before our food was ready, since today was Sunday brunch time-so plan this for yourself too!) My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito and a cinnamon chocolate chip scone, he said they were both really good! I got the chicken and waffles, which were amazing! The green onions on top were a new game changer for me, I loved it! (Their plasticware was also very strong and made it very easy to eat my meal in the car) I then also got a chocolate chip cookie-my only complaint is I wish it was warmed up/a little gooey. The staff was also very friendly, I would 100% recommend!
This little restaurant had absolutely delicious food and great service. What a gem! I will be back. I ended up eating both breakfast and lunch...salad was super fresh. I asked for a dry omelette with less cheese and it was perfect. The portabella mushrooms made the veggie omelette particularly delicious.
Nothing fancy, but it checks every box. Welcoming, clean, and exactly what you'd hope for. For what it is, it's an easy 5 stars.
This was a wonderful place to go have breakfast at. I had the stuffed hash browns minus ranch add biscuit gravy that was so the way to go. My son had the chicken and waffles because we had to see what all the hype was, and we both thought that it was very good. We had an extremely nice waitress, my son thought she was the owner which I'm not sure if she is or not would highly recommend this place. Plus we bought one on their cups, but don't have a pic of it yet.
The food was excellent. I had the BLT Omelet, and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients, crisp lettuce, great size, and value for the money. My husband had the stuffed hashbrown and loved it. We bought giant cinnamon rolls and sour dough bread from their bakery. Excellent! We will be going back, it's worth the drive.
